Chris Burrows13About the only place he can be seen with the Russian navy without the risk of being splatted by a Ukrainian drone.
Ronfella4A missed chance to get him.

siebensiebensieben.bsky.social3His doubles have much to do recently...
SOSAAHIPeter3Please do not be that gullible: That person is not V. Putin, but one of his doubles or stand-ins.
Jumpingaround2how about fucking Japan send lethal aid to Ukraine?! Same with fucking South Korea. Fucking hypocrites… and cowards…
🤨 Japan has strongly protested Vladimir Putin’s first-ever visit to Iturup in the Kuril Islands. Japan's Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi reiterated that the Northern Territories remain an integral part of Japan historically and under international law.
Mathias Bavay16I guess Japan will slowly start to understand that neutrality towards Russia is not an option...
Fredin6Talk to Ukraine, develop some nice sea and air drones on license, then push the russians out 😁

Tim White89Ukraine looks to have eliminated a traitor on occupied Crimea. The Mayor of Sevastopol says 5 died. An explosive device probably in a bin detonated. He claims sappers and a security guard were killed, but the first victim is Robert Shageev, a navy captain, who defected when Crimea was invaded.
Tommy R Vaske1I wonder if the muscovy still have some military presence of significance there... A speculation of mine from a few months back, was that Japan might make a move on the islands – if they only managed to convince Beijing to not interfere.
