❗The European Union has imposed sanctions against “Doctor Evil” — Ilya Sorokin, a doctor at Penal Colony №10 in Mordovia, Russia, who tortured Ukrainian prisoners of war.

His name appears in the EU’s 19th package of sanctions against Russia, listed under number 1976.

As Czech voters reject pro-Russian parties, a Kremlin-linked NGO quietly works to keep Moscow’s agenda alive.

👀🇨🇳 Chinese companies suspend purchases of Russian oil after US sanctions, - Reuters

China's state-owned oil companies have suspended purchases after Washington imposed sanctions on Rosneft and Lukoil.

The move comes as refineries in India intend to sharply reduce crude oil imports from Moscow.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: "This is just someone's desire. The Russians will not receive any additional land if you leave your territory. This is not an exchange. I don't understand what this is. It's not just these exchanges, it's not just about territory, it's about our sovereignty. This is unacceptable."

The author apparently wanted to say it was safer under Russia, but what he really says here is 1) Ukraine did not bomb Kherson while it was occupied by Russia 2022-2023, 2) Russia happily conducts indiscriminate bombing of Kherson and doesn’t care about civilians.

The next message shows the same channel showing explosions in Kherson filmed by its resident with a comment “situation in Kherson, that did not happen under Russia and it’s only beginning”.

Just to let you understand the scale of #Russia bullshitting regarding #Kherson, this is how they present their “zone of control” on their channels. The above video was filmed in the middle of that red-yellow area :)

As you think about these, try to observe your own reactions to these thoughts. As I said above, the difference in your own assessment of these nearly identical actions measures the success of Russia’s cognitive operation against you.

As a reminder, in 2023 🇷🇺 destroyed an US reconnaissance drone MQ-9 over Black Sea, far from any Russian border. Russia simply said it “entered restricted area” and that’s it, end of story. That was not 🇷🇺 “entering the war with NATO” - but shooting down Russian missile over Black Sea apparently is?

17.09.2025 09:37 — 👍 1    🔁 0    💬 1    📌 0

But then, if this "unknown drone" turns back into Ukraine, it once again becomes Russian and shooting it down constitutes “participation in war”!

Logical, eh?

Let me rephrase it: according to this logic, when the missile flies over Ukraine or Black Sea, it’s Russian missile on combat mission. If it goes over Polish or Romania, it suddenly becomes “we don’t know whose they are” and shooting it downs is acceptable.

Today we’re stuck in endless debates about whether shooting down Russian missiles over the sovereign territory of Ukraine (who agrees to that) or Black Sea would constitute #NATO “participation in the war”.

As a reminder, back then we had GRU in Crimea and Donbas, and everyone knew it’s GRU, but our media and politicians continued to talk about “separatists”, accepting the absurdity of the picture where some amateur guerilla suddenly demonstrate highest combat skills and using the latest GRU weapons.

The difference in your perception of both messages, identical in their content except with swapped sides, is the metric of success of the Russian cognitive operation lasting since 2014.

So why the opposite - when Russia flew drones into Poland - results in never ending debates about attribution, “mistakes”, “jamming” etc?
