#AceBreakingNews – The Real Russia. Today. Putin interrupted: Published: Friday, March 18, 2022

Latest major developments in Russia and Ukraine

• Putin appears unto the people: Roughly 200,000 specially invited guests (mostly state employees, according to reports) attended a concert at Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow to celebrate the eighth anniversary of Russia’s annexation of Crimea. The highlight of the event was a speech by Vladimir Putin. Television viewers didn’t see the end of the president’s remarks, however, as the transmission abruptly cut away to prerecorded footage of a performance by singer Oleg Gazmanov. The Kremlin attributed the incident to a technical error. In his speech, Putin repeated unfounded allegations that the Ukrainian government committed “genocide” against ethnic Russians. Describing Russians soldiers dying for each other on the battlefield, he said, “It’s been a long time since we’ve seen such unity.” Journalists at The Moscow Times reported that Putin made this speech while wearing a jacket made by the Italian clothing company Loro Piana that retails for almost $15,000.
• Don’t be like her dad: The pro-invasion rally at Luzhniki Stadium also featured a speech by the actor Vladimir Mashkov, who accused Russian liberals of being “backstabbers” beholden to Europe and the United States. In an Instagram post, Mashkov’s daughter Maria mocked her father’s remarks, calling herself a “politically correct minion of the West” and comparing him to Arnold Schwarzeneggar’s father, who fought for the Nazis. “I don’t want you to be broken like my father,” the film star and former governor recently told Russians in an impassioned video shared online.
• The war’s devastation, by the numbers: Artillery strikes on Friday against neighborhoods in Kyiv killed at least one person and injured another 19, including four children. Throughout the war, 109 children are known to have been killed and more than 130 have been injured, according to Ukrainian officials. So far, the United Nations has confirmed 816 civilian deaths and 1,333 injured civilians. The local authorities in the besieged city of Mariupol, however, say that Russian attacks have killed 2,358 noncombatants in their city alone. The UN says there are now 6.5 million internally displaced persons in Ukraine, 3.2 million Ukrainians have fled the country, and more than 12 million people are “stranded in affected areas or unable to leave due to heightened security risks.” Ukraine’s pre-war population was 44 million people.
• The FSB grabs a Ukrainian journalist: Russian soldiers have abducted reporter Victoria Roshchyna, who was working in conflict zones in eastern and southern Ukraine. Her news organization, Hromadske, saysshe was likely taken into custody on March 15, and her current whereabouts remain unknown.
• No more cooking shows. No more game shows: Two of Russia’s biggest state television networks, Channel One and Rossiya 1, have dropped all entertainment programming between 5 a.m. and midnightand devoted their entire broadcasting lineup to talk-show propaganda in support of the invasion of Ukraine.
• The Kremlin’s woman in robes: Vladimir Putin issued an executive decree promoting Judge Margarita Kotova to the Moscow City Court. Kotova is currently presiding over the latest trial against opposition leader Alexey Navalny, who faces dubious new charges that will likely add 13 years to his prison sentence, once Kotova issues her verdict. Researchers working with Navalny’s investigative team in exile recently obtained Kotova’s telephone call records and learned that she has been in constant communication with members of the Putin administration throughout Navalny’s trial.
• Already expanding the speech restrictions only just adopted:Lawmakers in the State Duma are moving forward with amendments to Russia’s recent “criminalization of fake news” about the military, planning to expand this censorship to “disinformation” about any Russian state entity that engages in “defending Russians’ interests abroad” (such as the Foreign Ministry and its embassies, the National Guard, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and so on).
• Time is running out for YouTube: Russia is likely days or even hours away from blocking YouTube. The federal censor has issued multiple complaints about restrictions and suspensions imposed on Russian state-run and Kremlin-loyal channels, and the authorities have even accused Google of “terrorist” actions. The nation’s vloggers are reportedly hurrying to move their content to Telegram, Vkontakte, and RuTube. The latter service practices “pre-moderation,” reviewing all videos before they can be shared online. Independent journalists discovered last year that it is virtually impossible to post videos like Alexey Navalny’s investigation into President Putin’s seaside “palace” in Gelendzhik.

After three weeks of war, Kyiv and its residents have changed irrevocably. A dispatch from Meduza’s Liliya Yapparova. (22-min read)

The war arrived in Kyiv on February 24, the day Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Three weeks later, what’s happening on the front lines indicates that Moscow still hopes to take the Ukrainian capital — Russian forces are still trying to encircle Kyiv (albeit unsuccessfully). Many of the city’s residents have fled. Mayor Vitali Klitschko says “one in two” have left, which means the local population has dwindled to less than two million people. All of Kyiv’s remaining residents — and not only those who are taking part in the defense — are bracing themselves for encirclement and siege. After spending a week and a half in Kyiv, Meduza special correspondent Liliya Yapparova reports on how the war has changed this previously vibrant city beyond recognition.

‘The purification of society will only strengthen the country’: A brief retelling of Putin’s darkest speech yet (3-min read)

On March 16, Vladimir Putin held a meeting on “socioeconomic support measures for Russia’s regions.” At the beginning of the meeting, he gave a speech dedicated not just to the war but to a “fifth column” within Russian society — “traitors” who have a “slavish mentality.” Meduza summarized Putin’s remarks.

What’s going on in Russian-occupied Ukraine? Meduza sorts out the facts. (5-min read)

On March 16, both RT and Radio Sputnik reported that a “founding congress” for “a new governing body” called the “Rescue Committee for Peace and Order” had been held in Ukraine’s Kherson region. RT’s reporting included a video that shows several people sitting at a table in the regional administration building; one man says that the “current regional authority has effectively ceased to exist” and that the region needs a structure “that can take responsibility for restoring order.” He then adds that “for him personally,” “the Russian Federation is a priority.” Both RT and Sputnik’s articles are titled “Kherson’s new regional authorities call for establishing ties with Russia.”

The official Russian authorities have not commented on reports of kidnapping in Ukraine’s occupied territories, nor have they commented on the Ukrainian authorities’ reports that Melitopol’s mayor was exchanged for nine Russian soldiers.
