Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
They confirmed a positive for the public to eat up and panic.
However this one can't confirm or deny.
Senior Defense Official Holds a Background Briefing
A senior defense official held a background briefing.

I was wondering when that could happen. True or not makes for good public wailing.

Anyone know slavic to confirm? As a private conversation I wouldn't be surprised what anyone says when war fervor is high, spouses in the military depending on the environment let loose their contempt behind closed doors.

Russia's military has been making its own semiconductors:
Russia Producing its own Motherboards, and the Brilliance of VLIWs
Why is Russia building its own hardware, why is Russia creating its own CPUs advantageous, and who else is going for isolationism?

Plus there is probably quite a bit of clandestine trade with China going on.

Russian forces made territorial gains in Mariupol in the past 24 hours and continued to reinforce operations along the Izyum-Slovyansk axis but did not make other territorial gains. Russian forces bisected Mariupol from the city center to the coast on
Looks like they're running out of fighting men.

Just one article talking about their production, I'm not suggesting that is the only production they're engaged it, but that would be classified. Nevertheless some older articles do give hints about what might be built up in Russia:
Of course the movement of international chips are quite opaque and Russia could get what they need anyway:
Don’t Use Chips to Play Poker With Putin
Semiconductor blockades are powerful sanctions—but may not prove effective with Russia.

China’s response key to Russia’s semiconductor supply | Argus Media
The impact of the latest round of sanctions on Russian semiconductor imports will depend on whether the international community can pressure China — the country's largest supplier — into also complying.

yeah a blockade doesn't work if the foundries are in a country allied with the target of the blockade. Unless you are willing to seize the lithography kit, the Russians will keep access to silicon.
Purge of the FSB in the wake of considerable intelligence failures in regards to the Russian Invasion of Ukraine apparently going on. 150 plus on the chopping block... So to speak.
An apparently very valuable Russian Radar System was left abandoned in the Chernihev Oblast.
Also lost... And found in Chernihev where Russian losses are still being documented days later... S half dozen plus armored vehicles including tanks, IFV's, self propelled artillery and even a bridge layer and multimillion dollar Air Defense Vehicle.
Not everyday you see a Polish volunteer serving with an Anarchist Battalion in Ukraine clowning for the camera in front of an abandoned Russian armored vehicle.
Also rarely seen... This combination of weapons in one vehicle.

Interesting little video with a NATO consultant analyzing things like Bucha and how the USA and the west west in general basically did everything in its power to goad Russia into this.
Zelenski is a powerless puppet, and if he pisses off the Nezi morons in the country it is off with his head.
Oh, and he reiterates the same ideas stated before by multiple sources about Russia's objectives and mode of warfare.
But hey, the Usual Suspects and armchair idiots will probably ree and disregard it, so I wonder why I even bother.

Ukrainian Officials met with officials from General Atomics, the makes of the MQ-1 and MQ-9 Predator and Reaper Drones recently.
Rest in Peace Lieutenant Colonel Miras Bashakov of the Russian Naval Infantry. He was apparently a Tank Battalion Commander with the Black Seas Fleet.
Another Battalion Commander, this one of the VDV/Airborne was also reportedly killed. Rest in Peace Major Denis Yagidarov. Like so many before him, he too was posthumously awarded the 'Hero of Russia.'
Aftermath of an attack on a Small Russian convoy by Ukrainian forces backed by a Technical.
Ukrainian Drone Poops on a Russian T-72 tank. The second dump finishes it.
Oryx also released a new article detailing the Battle of Hostomel during the opening days of the fighting and how it led to the ultimate failure of the Russians attempt to either take or encircle Kyiv. And of course... it includes the now ubiquitous equipment losses for that specific engagement.

From the latest news, it makes me think that this war seems being optimal to remove incopentents and/or potential rivals of Putin.
Even if it wasn't planned , it could be good for Russia in the long run.

A way a bit too expensive to do that.

With the ~1000 remnants of a Ukrainian Marine Brigade surrendering, total prisoners taken in the Mariupol Area have reached ~3,000, out the revised estimate of 17,000 in the pocket. UkA narrative is unable to stand up to the ground reality, hence the latest twitter purge of what little filters on there from Telegram and Mash. Mariupol is no less than a catastrophic disaster for Ukraine.
Comrade, you should have joined us in 2014, well have some tea and reflect on how you led your unit to ruin, again.
So much more on Telegram and Mash and so little time. I promised my wife to take her out and so out I go.

Desperate Kremlin makes fake BBC vid in shameless lie to blame attack on Ukraine
A propaganda video with BBC-style credits has been spread online claiming to say that Ukraine was behind the missile strike at a train station in Kramatorsk that killed 50 people

Ukraine seems to disagree with Russia on that.
Marines from 36th brigade break through to Azov fighters, defenders of Mariupol strengthen defense area
Units of the 36th Separate Marine Brigade, defending Mariupol, besieged by Russian invaders, broke through to join forces with the Azov Regiment, adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Oleksiy Arestovych said.

And since we have a Russian source saying one thing, and a Ukraine source saying another, it means absolutely nothing because both are worthless.
Alleged War Crimes from stories over the past few days...
Six Year Old Visits the Grave of his Mother, who died of "natural causes" during the Russian Liberation and was buried in the backyard.
And another Tweet showing him apparently leaving some food by her graveside.
Reportedly a Mother spotting the dead body of her son allegedly deposited into a well by Russian soldiers after being killed by the Liberators.
Two Tweets about a New York Times (typically paywalled though not for me atm) story expanding on the War Crimes that were alleged to of occurred within Bucha. This too includes descriptions of executions and gang rapes perpetrated by the Russian Liberators.
Another account of the depredations suffered by Ukrainians being liberated. This one alleges some of the ethnically Russian forces were more accommodating then the ethnically Tuvan troops who engaged in abuse and looting of the local population more liberally.
Anecdote in brief of a toddler and their family being killed by the Russian Liberators.
BBC Interviews locals who live in a village West of Kyiv who offer up allegations of loved ones being executed, as well as drug use, looting and of course, rape.
www.bbc.com
In one case a victim alleges she was raped by a fighter from one unit who was also responsible for mortally wounding her husband when the arrival of another unit of Russians might've saved her from more sexual abuse.
The first post on the thing in this thread about that attack was someone unabashedly blaming Zelensky for firing a missile on that train station. There's a reason I tend to wait and see and sit on things that allege stuff like that. Same as why I haven't bothered with that chemical warfare accusation in Mariupol yet.

The BBC has uncovered first-hand evidence of Russian soldiers raping and killing civilians in a village west of Kyiv.

Good on the Russian soldiers who showed human decency during a horrific time. Yes, they hypothetically could have done more, but to basically go against orders and resist your own side? That requires uncommon bravery. To few people will stand up to people on their own side, and in war, that number drops even further.
