I've a hunch, one of the reasons that RT is now recognizing the Wagner group as driving force in Bahkmut is going back to ignoring Prigozhin's "victory" over Soledar a few weeks ago.
Back then RT had claimed, it's been the regular Russian army taking Soledar, so Shoigu and Gerasimov got all the credit, which infuriated Prigozhin, this fueled the infight-fire between the different groups on the Russian side and I bet, that's why it's so important ... but for everybody who didn't follow this invasion that closely, there's definitely an explanation needed and so I fully agree on doing a whole video on this topic; although from a moral and humanitarian point of view, Prigozhin doesn't deserve anything but disgust, let alone all the attention he's getting for a while now, but I'm staying tuned.

Learn about NATO before arguing bs here.
NATO has an open door policy, but NATO does NOT "invite countries to join" as you're claiming.
When a country wants to join NATO, they've to OFFICIALLY APPLY FOR NATO MEMBERSHIP, just as every other NATO country had done before them, like Sweden and Finland did recently ... russia NEVER officially applied though!
Learn history.
& After a new country officially applies for NATO membership, every other NATO country HAS TO AGREE to the new member country and they each have a VETO RIGHT.
This time Hungary and Turkey initially weren't fully on board to let Sweden and Norway in bc of minor unresolved issues that got sorted out relatively quickly.
Your russia wouldn't have gotten very far in NATO anyways, EVEN IF the russian federation would've officially applied for NATO membership, bc every single formerly soviet suppressed eastern European country like Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary etc - who had instantly fled the russian influence after the USSR aka soviet union had collapsed in 1991 - would've VETOED THE ISH OUT OF putin's russia joining NATO, bc russia had been THE ONLY REASON they all had joined NATO in the first place.
Without all those known facts theorizing about a russian NATO membership too much isn't really helpful at all.
(The russians and putin didn't wanna officially apply bc they wanted a large red NATO carpet rolled out for them bc "they're great huge russia" after all, guess that's also why they expected an invitation and whatnot.
Also low and behold putin didn't like the idea of his "biggest country on earth russia" only having 1 veto right instead of multiple ones bc he's used to dominate everybody - he couldn't stand democracy and the picture of his former enslaved eastern European countries all together vetoing him out effectively - and an official russian apology would've been needed for their past russian crimes and mistakes against all said eastern European countries ...now tsar putin can go and f himself for being such an arrogant a-h.
Let's just say the megalomaniac russian mindset isn't compatible with NATO).

(Part 2)
At the very least one of the first Google search-results will definitely bring you there, bc I'm really not in the business of making such things up - the most outlandish, intriguing, bizarre, questionable, absurd, unsettling, extraordinarily unlikely, but also the funniest, most entertaining, exhilarating, humorous, comically uplifting part for me personally is though, that even if you would've googled only "Shebekino typo" on your own without my help or sources - granted, your search also would've brought you exactly there, so your question for "sources" was entirely pointless, you would've found it easily on your own, if truly interested!
So THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR THE ENLIGHTENMENT, that wasting my time seems to be the latest super-strategy of pro-Russian supporters, bc it's not the very first time, that I saw this method used by your folks ... rest assured though, I won't fall for it again!

We've all seen the so called "Russian restraint" in Bucha, Mariupol, countless other Ukrainian villages and cities, in the still on-going bombardments of civilians and their infrastructures like hospitals, power grid, etc, not to mention all the torture chambers found in previously Russian occupied areas like Kherson, even in the basements of monasteries, etc, which isn't a "single incident" at all but points to systematic, routinely done atrocities ... I often wonder, what exactly all those pro-Russian English speaking mouthpieces of Putin like Ritter, McGregor, J. Hinkle, P. Lancaster, etc and others are even defending here on YouTube so passionately?

"...layers of rose coloured glasses..." came from Russian President Gorbachev's "Perestroika" and "Glasnost" ideas, which also became kinda "movements" and common worldviews in the West** - including the fall of the Berlin wall and the most well-known song of that time "Winds of changes"/The Scorpions* - but only the West truly loves this very special and trustworthy Russian President long-term, while Putin's Russia's viewing him almost as a traitor now, that he's dead.
I think, President Gorbachev was genuinely and seriously into the idea of world peace, de-escalation and reducing the number of nukes, which in hindsight led to our greatest, most regretted mistake EVER:
Persuading Ukraine into giving up their nuclear arsenal and countless other weapon systems, that had remained in their hands after the relatively fast collapse of the Soviet Union in the years from 1989 to1991, helping Ukraine to maintain those weapons properly as some kinda "security guarantee" is, what we should've done instead back then imo.
The 1994 (I believe) "Budapest Memorandum" was built on too much trust to an unstable Russia in the hands of an equally unstable Russian President Yeltsin, which all in all wasn't a secret at all and in hindsight we should've known, this'd not work out that well.
* & Btw, "Wind of Changes" got new lyrics, bc The Scorpions weren't feeling ok with singing the old lyrics anymore ... it's worth listening into it now/2022 version.
** Normally I'd say, we got lured into believing our own wishful thinking, however only Putin took advantage and used our new trust in Russia against us.

I agree on everything, especially about Konstantin/inside Russia NOT being a pro-Ukrainian channel in any shape or form at all ... he only whines a lot about how badly Russia and his Russians are/were affected by the war, they're mostly (and often actively) supporting.
Also if I'm not mistaken, last summer he went on holidays to a Crimean beach of all places, then posted a video titled something along the lines of "vacation but unhappy, I wonder why?" ... I mean come on, really Konstantin?
Not to mention describing his return to Russia as "leap of faith", when he left the US; but he never really told what happened to his first marriage with his American wife, who had at first accompanied him to Russia - I strongly suspect, he only wants his US green card back, or whatever document(s) he'd need to stay there now - that's why he's complaining so much about "the bad and unfair treatment" of Russian draft dodgers "for refusing to kill Ukrainians"; he made several videos tackling this topic from slightly different angles I believe.
& His latest spleen is "I'm fearing for my life" bc the Russian politician Dmitri Medvedev wants capital punishment back for all draft dodgers who "put dirt on Russia"; come on that's over ~1 mio people, K!
He's a real drama queen.
Anyways...
*) Zack the Russian is top
*) The Russian Dude, also ok
A small correction, I believe you might've mixed up:
*) Reporting from Ukraine, daily updates and
*) Insights from Ukraine and Russia, the famous intercepted phone calls perfectly translated into English.

@Grundewalt
Well actually I'm always satisfied to see comments giving K crap for whining about Russia too much and saying truthful things to him, best summed up in "Ukrainians are having it a million times worse!"
So I think, of course there's a certain percentage of captive sect followers on his channel for sure, but the rest keeps a cool head and evaluates the overall situation pretty well.
Imo the most positive thing about K's channel is, that our western economies can't be in such bad shape, as long as there're so many people sending him cash through superchats, channel memberships and (I believe) also on Patreon, so that he can wear his boss shirts and fly to Dubai ... although it really boggles my mind, that most of these donating people seem to be unable to realize that he's more wealthy than them, living the high life.
& I analysed that argument relentlessly for months, to make sure I don't say this out of jealousy - however it's not money problems holding me back, it's age and bad health.

@Professor-Gerdes
I know!
Imo, it's the most urgent, dangerous war going on (although there're of course other wars as well), bc this war really has the potential to turn eighter our western world, as we know it, entirely upside down with his unipolar/multipolar/bipolar nonsense, or it can easily escalate into a WW3 scenario*, in case Putin "loses it", gets a tantrum and throws "his 5D chess war play game**" through the bunker with all its figures - which can happen totally unrelated to us if he's unnerved by circumstances unknown to us and the straw that breaks the camel's back occurs to fall on his head - and imo is the sole reason, why we/the West tiptoe around him like on eggshells, instead of finally sending Ukraine the victory package it needs.
Which is the most unbearable, shameful state of affairs, we've ever been in as the West and I'm in my late 50ies already and thought "nothing can shock me anymore, I've pretty much seen it all"; especially after the pandemic, oh boy was I wrong!
* Having always felt, historically an everlasting peace-period is highly unlikely, therefore have no kids and would say "screw it, his nukes aren't functional anyways!" - otherwise his soldiers wouldn't occupy and mine the Zaporozhzhia nuclear power plant and Putin wouldn't have been so proud about his last successful nuke test, before another one failed , around the time US President Biden's Kyiv visit.

Yeah I saw the headlines comparing aid to Ukraine with aid for Maui, however I'm generally a bit confused, why such a big country's President - who isn't part of an insurance company - is even asked about a tragic event with a relatively small amount of 100+ deaths in Hawaii, which yes is part of his country but what's he supposed to say, besides "my condolences" or "no comment"?
If course "my condolences" would've been much better than "no comment", however I've to cut the guy a slack bc presidents are there to care most of all about the geopolitics around the wellbeing of his country and people, but due to these accusations initially coming from msm and not from Hawaii, presidents aren't there to console the media all the time, this'd be the job of his press speaker(s), all Biden himself could say is "we strive to find a solution to everyone's satisfaction", but I agree as a professional politician he should've done a lot better/exactly what I just mentioned.
The rest is a perfect example of classic whataboutism though and with me not being an American, I'm always baffled how bipolar the US has become and it gets worse with every election.
So I can only tell you, that "yes I immediately saw that shįt coming when I read that very first headline", but I'm still gobsmacked how vicious US politics has become ... imo even during times of several lunatics threatening nukes pretty much daily, there should be more bipartisan understanding, this stinks of Wagner group troll farm stuff (or similar ones) again interfering with the US elections imo.

Thank you so very much, Professor, for understanding that I had to very politely slap that one troll verbally for 4 to 5 comments straight in a row ... guess I did some "self therapeutic measures", to get rid of lots of my frustrations about the destroyed dams, our/the West's extremely weak reaction(s), the numerous resulting humanitarian, ecological, (etc) crises but barely any outside NGO help worth mentioning, except for Ukrainian organisations, the logical Ukrainian losses of the counter offensive, the role of Hungary's* politics in the Ukrainian POW affair and ... and ... and the war in general are by far too much for me tbh.
* My dad's fled from there, he's crying bc he doesn't understand what happened in his former home-country/country of birth - and my whole family is in crisis - not to mention I've a n estranged pro-Russian younger sister, who's just moved to Hungary recently; she never asked why my dad left Hungary and my parents don't tell her for some weird reason, I don't understand and can't fully grasp atm.
This war's tearing me apart psychologically.

Not gonna lie, asking for sources is entirely pointless - not only cause of the reason you've mentioned, like the smarter ones won't tell you about their pro-Russian sources - but also don't forget that Russia's a parallel universe, they're living in an alternate reality.
& With the internet being a place where you can basically find sources for pretty much everything and every conspiracy theory you can even imagine, you'll end up with 2 dilemmas:
1) You've to go through a lot of work and pain to read through their nonsense for absolutely nothing - from my personal experience, it's a complete waste of time and to keep you busy is their main goal - bc while you're in a conversation with them and/or researching their so called "sources", you can't watch a pro-Ukrainian video and comment there = you can't support Ukraine, so in their eyes they won.
2) & Then after research of their said "sources", you've to prove to them now, that their sources are worthless and we all know, no-one can fix stupid, (or argue someone out of lies they're paid to spread, but don't believe in themselves*) ... the first meaning IF someone's fully convinced, that their sources are valid, you'll have NO chance to convince them otherwise = same result as under point 1, you've no time/can't support Ukraine while you're busy with them, they won.

If I remember correctly, Zelenskyy has already signed the necessary documents and officially applied for NATO membership back in autumn 2022 but he also knows, a country won't be accepted into NATO during war times, with russian troops still stationed and actively fighting on internationally recognized Ukrainian territory ... it's in the NATO statures, that new member countries have to sort out all their own border problems, conflicts and wars first BEFORE they can join.
(This also aligns with Turkey asking Sweden to return some escaped terror¡sts to them first before agreeing to Sweden's NATO membership - back then I thought this was a bit over the top bc this'd normally be a simple Interpol request - but NATO doesn't play and won't allow beef to continue and fester between their member countries).
Basically Zelenskyy isn't looking for an invitation but for a guarantee that Ukraine will be a NATO member country, the moment this war's over ... such a NATO membership guarantee would be his best way out of this war with russia.
Which also explains in a nutshell, why russia doesn't fit into NATO* - not only would no eastern European country accept them there and veto them out immediately - russia has started fighting with Ukraine twice, first when they annexed Crimea in 2014 and then they fully invaded it Feb 24th 2022.
Ukraine's the only eastern European country who's not a NATO member and sadly this made them very vulnerable ... Hungary and Turkey make some questionable choices, but they've never started beef on such a level as russia.
* Not to mention russia's constantly fighting with their neighbouring countries, like (the country) Georgia etc ... another reason they wouldn't be accepted into NATO.
As for your memories, yes you're certainly right, I also remember these repeated announcements, but the russian federation has NEVER officially applied for NATO membership ... there're NO documents the rf ever really tried to apply for NATO membership, so it's hard to compare this russian sharade with Zelenskyy's current situation.
If I had to guess, I'd say putin/medvedev made some media-stunts back then - they likely thought this'd work bc influential European countries (like Germany etc) relied on their oil/gas and tried to befriend russia with their "Wandel durch Handel" = "change through trade" policies - or putin tried to impress his own russian audience and/or other influential countries like China with these press releases; for me it's really hard to tell why they made such baseless announcements back then.

I think, Putin got that Xi quote about "Chinese limitless, borderless friendship" totally wrong ... yeah it sounds "nice" and potentially dangerous from a western standpoint, although it isn't - China will profit from Russia's cheap resources as long as they can without risking sanctions or any other backlash, but imo the Chinese know this'll end at some point sooner rather than later - and then they'll take over Manchuria and other parts of Russia, simply bc they're running out of drinking water and food, so with 1+ billion people they're "kinda forced" to expand their borders, I guess they'll get more land for themselves in a peaceful way though.
In case you've missed it, China's suffering from droughts, that are also crippling their food production, as the majority of their ground water is also totally polluted from decades of too much fertilizer-use and isn't useable to plant rice and other necessities in it anymore ... I'm not sympathizing with the CCP or excusing it here, bc all of this is the CCP's own fault, but compared to Russia's claims of "being forced" to invade Ukraine which was complete bs, China's in a much more dire situation but I hope they'll solve this through peaceful negotiations.
Frankly, even if against my predictions and all odds, Russia and China would start to fight, I couldn't support any of these 2 autocratic nations.

@Professor-Gerdes
I'D LOVE TO GIVE THEM MY SOURCES, however I've ALREADY typed "part 1" with the source for the "Shebekino typo" 3 times(!) today alone and my posts get deleted EVERY SINGLE TIME, in the meantime it drives me into desperation tbh!
I don't know, WHY my first part is getting deleted all the time/what I have to change to get it through YouTube and of course normally I don't start my replies with "part 2", without writing the "part 1" at the start, bc it logically comes first ... but in the meantime I'm at the end of my wits ... I don't know what to do/what to change, how and why it's getting removed repeatedly and I just don't know what to formulate differently anymore.
After my first version of "part 1" got deleted, I started abbreviating some words of my text (in my next 2 versions of "part 1"), in strong hopes, that it'd finally work AND in ALL my other parts I already explained, that a simple Google search for "Shebekino typo" - with or without the additional hint "thread on Twitter" always brought me there - I also recommended watching a certain video, gave the video-title*, YouTuber's name*, video-link* and timestamp* for readers to find it even without the help of my constantly missing, cause deleted "part 1"!
I'm aware and I'm very sorry, that I start to sound very frustrated towards the end of my posts, but that's only bc I was constantly fighting with the fact that "part 1" got repeatedly deleted again, no matter how much I tried to change it and get it through.
* Btw, I've an important question connected to the repeated removal of my first part:
Are all these info, I have marked with * even visible for you (like e.g. video-link*)?!^^
Just asking, bc I don't know anymore - from my personal experience it occasionally happens, that comments can get "shadow banned" by YouTube as well ... meaning only I can see them, but nobody else sees them.
I don't know anymore and I can't figure it out...

I discovered extremely late, why he's been to prison and the problem I've with Scott Ritter is, that he's always gaslighting people about this reason at 21:28 when he's portraying himself as some kinda "political prisoner" of the US, when in reality he's been caught(!) 4 times for pa*dophilia since ~2008* - at least once he ran into a TCAP* decoy, who literally told him per text she's definitely a minor, yet he j*rked off in front of a webcam and sent her his d*ck-pics - SORRY NOT SORRY, imo he's a totally disgusting individual, who knows no boundaries at all.
& That's WHY he aligns with the "Russian soul" so perfectly, he himself loves to play the victim while occasionally also liking to victim blame and he didn't get the memo yet, that this mindset doesn't jive with American culture.
* Just imagine, how often he did that to get caught 4 times!

TYSVM Prof Gerdes!
I always enjoy watching Zack or you alone, however you're even better together, hope you'll keep this up!
PS.
Just one small warning, don't fall for "the russian dude" Artem, I've been researching him for a whole weekend and he's a scammer, thanking between 70 you 100 of his viewers in his current videos' pinned comments for $100+ donations for Ukraine, but stopped actually donating and also stopped his so called "charitable livestreams" at the end of 2022 ... basically he gradually went from "all proceeds go to Ukraine" to zero goes to Ukraine and I've no patience for such people's "...".
Just look at one of his earlier videos 3 months after 24th of February 2022, then go to a video after putin had announced his "partial" mobilisation on 21st of September 2022 and then look at a recent one ... Jake made the mistake to invite him early on and they'll always be linked together on Google due to this early invitation (which I believe was, when he still might've donated, but I'm not sure, if he EVER really did tbh).

"We/russia increased the production of tanks by 5+ times, drones by 17+ times, etc...bla, bla, bla..."
WHY do I constantly get the strong gut feeling, Shoigu's constantly mixing up the terms (so and so many) "times" with "percentages" ON PURPOSE here ... needless to say, there's A HUGE DIFFERENCE between these two terms ... in my example, "x-times" basically stand for multiplying, while "percentages" stand for dividing ... it's definitely the opposite between "multiplication" and "division" in mathematics; but enough of my example for the moment, as it only serves to paint an understandable picture* proving my following points.
* Which looks to me more and more like I'm going on a rant, with countless tangents included here and I'm very SORRY for that!
Ok I fully agree with your statement, that they've initially started with producing very low numbers/quantities of NEW military hardware and I also agree, that whatever they "produce", when they were basically starting with almost zero, this really makes it super-easy, to increase these numbers by x-times - so theoretically it could be possible they've increased their overall "production-levels" to a certain "x-times of quantity, BC before they've been close to zero ... like let's say and be very generous with them, they've produced e.g. ~10 new tanks per month so far and now they "produce" ~50 per months instead, they've indeed increased their production-levels 5 times; I get it.
(Doesn't matter that the russians have been pretty much changing their whole country's economical and industrial complex into a "one way leading to a dead end" war economy, bc it's still leading nowhere ... BUT there're some strange memories pretty much contradicting all their data:
1*) I remember from not too long ago, that the russians still had relatively high numbers of oldtimer soviet-made styles of tanks in "storage" so to speak, if you can even describe Siberian fields full of rows with old tanks rusting away in the open during all 4 russian seasons including their frost-bitten winters* AS "STORAGE", which is highly debatable as this type of "storage" is in no way, shape or form even remotely comparable with the US storage method of putting their tanks, APCs = Armoured Personnel Carriers, (other military hardware, etc), into their desert open air storage, where the only problems are sandy conditions, bc the American climate there's otherwise ideal for it.
* We're talking about russian winter-temperatures down to -35 to -50°C/-31 to -58°F and less (minus of course!), logically with lots of very wet and muddy spring and fall/authm seasons and relatively short summers ... I can't think of any worse weather conditions for "open air storage" of all kinda metal military hardware.
Russians don't even need corruption, wars, let alone enemies to destroy0 their whole military equipment.
2*) MY WHOLE POINT IS THOUGH, a few months ago the russians made videos, showing a very cocky Medvedev and other russian officials inspecting and showing off "all those", (or much better worded "always the same few") tank factories, where it's been explained by said officials, that their russian workers (tried to) repair said old rusty tanks, with the goal of "upgrading them, making them look like new and most importantly, READY FOR THE FRONTLINE" and in case these "upgrades" were impossible, the workers there also had to try to salvaged all types of spare parts from those other, irrepairably degrading tanks - mainly bc they weren't able to produce too many REALLY NEW tanks.
& If I'm not entirely mistaken, said "russian tank factory" videos were officially uploaded for the world to watch roughly ~6 to 12 months ago - with Medvedev and the other russian officials threatening their factory employees, guess for "good measure" and in their great old russian fashionable tradition with "consequences", if they'd not be able to fulfil their required quotas for some reason - basically ordering them to create miracles by turning old rusty tanks into new ones.
3*) & The main reasons, WHY russia's most likely UNABLE TO PRODUCE those x-times of NEW TANKS and other military hardware are a whole plethora of different multifaceted factors:
A*) Partially it's due to the ""bad western sanctions brought upon 'poor, totally innocent russia' by all those pesky unfriendly nations"", that are (allegedly) constantly causing lacks of a wide variety of necessary western technologies needed to build such "new tanks".
B*) Then there's the fact that russia (at the very least partially) genuinely lacks all kinda workers and experts, who've eighter fled russia and the mobilization/fell victim to said mobilization, or who're in active hiding of said (putin's quote) "partial mobilization" ... which has officially ended, but is in fact still on-going.
Partially as "hidden mobilization", done electronically online aka "e-draft".
& Partially also done very officially in at least 2 variations:
--> As the only solution for severely indepted individuals, who can't pay their loans back, but get "dept relief" from their banks in return for signing military contracts.
--> & Per putin's decree, Russia's increasing the numbers of conscripts, who in different ways get "persuaded" into signing military contracts.
1
-
TL;DR
It's ALL russian propaganda bs ... YES, the russians try to "stabilize" the death spiral of their Rubble by investing into their own "military industrial complex", but they're only buying time for themselves -> of course above all putin and his good old buddies.
& Their ways of "military production" doesn't help their country's real economy at all in the long-term - russian weapon sales are irrepairably damaged, bc the whole world was/is still watching, how the much smaller, less powerful Ukraine was able to defeat russia's most powerful weapons, using ~3 decades old, mostly out-dated, mothballed weapon systems/almost scrap metal, they got as military aid from the West, so all this allegedly "newly produced" russian crap goes to the russian occupied areas to fight Ukraine - that's a lot like e.g. you build a new ship, then you sink it in the next harbour, then you build another ship, sink it ... rinse and repeat.
Only wonder how much russian tax payers money goes missing in the process, as granted there're plenty of russian as well as international war profiteers involved in this scam and they're pocketing every currency they can get their hands on in the process.
Just think about totally destroyed Ukrainian cities like e.g. Mariupol, russian businesses know full well, the city will highly likely get destroyed again during Ukraine's fights to kick the russians out, with this in mind russian construction companies "rebuilt" the city, as it's the perfect opportunity for all kinda fraud and money laundering -> K from "Inside Russia" explained/predicted this in one of his streams.

PS.
Do you and Jonathan ever sleep at all, or are you also that badly worried about all the Russian interferences into our politics and opinions, that you've postponed sleep for the time period after Ukraine's victory?
I fully get it, bc I'm also constantly very worried, as well as exhausted from trying to be everywhere at the same time, to be updated about the extent of pro-Russian propaganda having a hold, often almost control over an unknown amount of the population in western countries, as that's not only an American phenomenon, but to me it looks suspiciously wide-spread all across European, African, South American countries and likely it's even a thing in Australia .... and besides that, I especially try to boost smaller channels, that imo deserve a lot more attention, views and subs.

While basically she's sarcastically stating "let's sing Russian cumbajah together", he doesn't get it or he doesn't WANT TO UNDERSTAND HER, instead he replied with an invitation to count the Ukrainian flags in his American hometown with her (I mean is he serious, immature or is this guy nuts?), while he's unintentionally admitting to her, that he has underlying, subconscious jealousy issues, he's developed against Ukraine - and in a very uncomfortable way, he's trying to belittle her, bc he's totally unable to discuss this topic objectively and argue normally, while knowing full well, she's Ukrainian herself* - I find this part extremely telling and to me the fact, that the world didn't know much about Ukraine before this war doesn't really matter at all, bc NOTHING he said here justifies the genocidal aggression Russia has unleashed on Ukraine since the start of their full scale invasion, let alone it's an excuse for it!

At least "meh meh" choose a great username, I don't expect "grammatical correctness" for online usernames anyways. 😁
"Changing goalposts" means, that this invasion went from "de-militarising and de-nąžįfying Ukraine" - and over Putin's "I promise it's NO land grab" to "oh oops, it's a land grab after all" - to "fighting Satanists there in Ukraine" ... trust me, you'll find Satan in me really fast as well, if you come to my house/land uninvited, kill, r*pe and steal my kids (not to mention all the "legal looting" according to Russian law) ... what are you trolls defending so passionately here, not a single one of you could enlighten me so far about this!
& Not to mention, what on earth does that "de-nąžįfication" even mean?
--> You'll be able to find a few nąžįs in every country of this world, although I'm willing to bet, there're many more of them in Russia atm, than in Ukraine ... although I can be wrong about that, given the amount of Russian soldiers currently stationed in Ukraine, at least temporarily.

Only a few moments ago below your "Zahlushni wounded or dead" video, I've just tried to explain, that the exact same concept also applies to all the easy to disprove lies of Putin himself, Russian media/propaganda and Russian officials (like e.g. their UN guy or Russian ambassadors), pretty sure they don't enjoy even being laughed at in India - but all those lies aren't for us/the western audience, they're made for Russians - as sooner we understand this concept, the easier it becomes to understand, how the Russian alternate reality works; I also call it the "Russian parallel universe".
Not an excuse, but in a way they also don't have too much choice than to follow their Russian narrative, if they don't want or can't leave Russia forever, or suddenly have an unexpected "accident".
