The Ministry of Economy has helped to secure the supply of nuclear fuel that will be used by the Slovakian electric company (SE, or Slovenské Elektrárne). Today (March 1, 2022) at dawn, an IL76 aircraft of Volga Dnepr Airlines landed at Bratislava airport and transported the nuclear fuel from the Russian Federation to us.

With Russian gamers effectively cut off from purchases on most major gaming platforms due to corporate sanctions against the country, the Russian game developer behind indie darling Loop Hero is encouraging Russian customers to pirate the game.

In a Sunday post on Russian social network VK (Google translated version), Loop Hero developer Four Quarters said, "In such difficult times, we can only help everyone to raise the pirate flag (together with vpn)" to get the game. The developer then included a link to a copy of Loop Hero on a popular Russian torrent tracker to aid in that process directly.

In a follow-up post the next day (Google translated version), Four Quarters insisted that "we didn't do anything special, there's nothing wrong with torrents." The company also notes that players wanting to offer the developer donations in lieu of buying the game should refrain. "The truth is that everything is fine with us, send this support to your family and friends at this difficult time," they wrote.

The Russian government has reportedly mulled legalizing software piracy to get around wide-ranging international corporate sanctions. The Office of the US Trade Representative has called out Russia as the international leader in video game piracy, and local surveys show that pirating cracked versions of games is common in the country.

Near the beginning of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Four Quarters posted an anti-war message on its Twitter account, a public stance that comes with some risk, given government statements classifying anti-war protesters as "traitors."

While players outside of Russia should still be able to purchase Loop Hero on Steam, Valve said earlier this month that banking issues prevented it from sending payments to developers in Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine (ironically enough). Valve recently told PC Gamer that developers in these countries will have to provide "intermediary banking information" in a foreign country to receive the payments they're due.

"It's a very frustrating situation, and we hope to find the resolution soon," Valve wrote in a note to affected developers.
 
Mitä iloa siitä venäläisten siviilien murhailusta olisi sodan kannalta? Terroripommitus ei ole tainnut toimia missään sodassa kertaakaan puolustajan taistelutahdon murtamisessa.
Ymmärrät väärin taikka et ymmärrä sotilaallista tarkoitusta termobarisissa aseissa ollenkaan. Tarkoitus ei ole kurmottaa siviilejä niillä. Bunkkereita, linnoituksia, leirejä, kokoontumispisteitä jne. on ne legimeetit kohteet.

Luulen ymmärtäväni lailliset kohteet ja juuri siksi kysyinkin, mitä järkeä olisi siviilikohteisiin iskeä (Ukrainan toimesta siis). Venäläisillä ei pidäkkeitä ole, vaan pikemminkin siviileihin kohdistetut toimet ovat olleet ainakin 2. MS:n ajoilta täysin doktriinin mukaisia.
 
Synkäksi menee: ryöstelyä, raiskauksia ja siviilien surmia sekä systemaattista väestön pakkosiirtoa. Miten Venäjä voi tätä koskaan sovittaa. Vihaksi pistää mutta mitkä onkaan Ukrainalaisten tuntemukset.

Reports of sexual violence involving Russian soldiers are multiplying, Ukrainian officials say.​

The crime first came to light last week, when Ukraine’s prosecutor general, Iryna Venediktova, said in a Facebook post that a Russian soldier had killed an unarmed civilian and then repeatedly raped his wife. Days later, the White House said it was concerned about emerging reports of sexual violence in Ukraine.

Then on Monday night, The Times of London published the woman’s chilling account. Using the pseudonym Natalya, she told a reporter she had been in her home in a village near the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, when she heard footsteps and a shot rang out. Moments later her husband lay dead outside her front door, and two Russian soldiers were at her side, one holding a gun to her head.

“I shot your husband because he was a Nazi,” the gunman told her, before he and the other soldier raped her, as her 4-year-old son sobbed in a boiler room next door, according to the Times. She said she was later raped a second time by the soldiers, and eventually managed to flee to western Ukraine with her son.

“I could have been silent, but when we got to the police, my husband’s sister made me speak up, and there was no going back,” she was quoted saying in the Times. “I understand that many people who have been hurt would stay silent because they are afraid. Lots of people don’t believe terrible things like this happen.”

A Kremlin spokesman, Dmitri S. Peskov, rejected Ms. Venediktova’s allegation, telling reporters in Moscow last week that “we don’t believe it at all.”

“It is a lie,” Mr. Peskov said, according to the Interfax news agency.

Ms. Venediktova said a Russian soldier is wanted for arrest “on suspicion of violation of the laws and customs of war.”
Ukrainian officials contend that numerous cases of rape and sexual violence have occurred in the country since Russia’s invasion began on Feb. 24.

Maria Mezentseva, a Ukrainian member of parliament, detailed the woman’s account to Sky News on Sunday and said there were “many more victims.” She did not provide further details or say how she learned of other assaults, but said that she expected them to come to light once the victims were “ready to talk.”

“We will definitely not be silent,” she said.
Rape and other forms of sexual violence, which have accompanied armed conflicts throughout history, can constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity. Russian forces and Moscow-backed armed groups have been accused of perpetrating sexual violence in other conflicts — most recently involving detainees in eastern Ukraine.

This month, Ukraine’s foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, said that he had little confidence that international organizations, like the International Criminal Court in The Hague, would hold Russian soldiers to account. “When Russian soldiers rape women in Ukrainian cities — it’s difficult of course to speak about the efficiency of international law,” he said via videolink during an event at Chatham House, a think tank in London.

Russia-Ukraine War: Key Developments​


Card 1 of 3
The state of peace talks. Pessimism about Russia’s willingness to tame its attacks in Ukraine is growing amid mixed signals from Kremlin officials on peace talks and reports of new strikes near Kyiv and Chernihiv, where Russia had vowed to sharply reduce combat operations.
Putin’s advisers. U.S. intelligence suggests that President Vladimir V. Putin has been misinformed by his advisers about the Russian military’s struggles in Ukraine. The intelligence shows what appears to be growing tension between Mr. Putin and the Ministry of Defense, U.S. officials said.
On the ground. As the Ukrainian military has kept Russian forces from taking over Kyiv and even regained some ground in the northeast, Russia appears to be shifting its focus to eastern Ukraine, particularly the Donbas region, which borders Russia and where residents tend to feel a connection to Russia.

………..
Accounts of rape and sexual violence began to emerge almost immediately after Russia invaded Ukraine, according to Kateryna Busol, an associate with Chatham House and a Ukrainian lawyer who documented allegations of sexual violence following Russia’s seizure and annexation of Crimea in 2014.

“These accounts are growing, and we are hearing that they are much more widespread than the one account raised by the inspector general,” Ms. Busol said in a phone interview from Regensburg, Germany, where she fled from Kyiv in the days following the invasion.

“What we are hearing by word of mouth, from acquaintances of survivors in the country, is horrific,” she added. “I have had described to me incidents of gang rape, rape in front of children and sexual violence following the killing of family members.”

Most of the accounts, she said, involved female victims and were coming from cities in Ukraine’s east and the south occupied by Russian forces.

Serbian kohtalo odottanee. Eli sotarikollisia ei tultane saamaan tuomiolle, kuin ehkä muutama pikkunilkki näön vuoksi. Eipähän tekijöiden toisaalta sitten tarvitse enää koskaan matkustaa Venäjän ulkopuolelle. Toivottavasti todistusaineistoa on riittävästi tekijöiden tunnistamiseen.
 
It turns out the only thing Russian forces needed to knock thousands of Ukrainian satellite broadband customers offline was a misconfigured VPN.

Viasat, whose Ukrainian satellite broadband service was knocked offline the day Russia invaded Ukraine, said its analysis of the attack revealed a poorly configured VPN appliance was used by the attacker to access the trusted management section of the KA-SAT satellite network.

The attacker gained access to the segment of the network used to manage and operate it, and then pushed legitimate, yet malicious, commands to residential modems in Ukraine and several other European countries.

"These destructive commands overwrote key data in flash memory on the modems, rendering the modems unable to access the network, but not permanently unusable," Viasat said today.

The KA-SAT satellite, which provides broadband access to customers in several countries, was not directly affected by the attack, which was confined to a single consumer-oriented partition of its network.

Viasat also said that it had no evidence end-user data was accessed or compromised, no evidence that customer equipment was accessed (aside from the command that was run) and no signs that the satellite or its ground infrastructure were affected.
 
Venäjän huolto-ongelmat eivät taida olla sotamenestyksessä koko totuus.

Harkova sijaitsee Belgorodista autolla 90 minuutin ajomatkan päässä. Rajalle on kaupungista 40 kilometriä. Tällaisen etäisyyden päähän huolto on onnistunut jo sodissa ennen polttomoottoria.
Liveuamapin mukaan rajalta ollaan päästy tällä hetkellä noin 20 kilometriä harkovan suuntaan ja rintama ei etene kohti Harkovaa.

Huolto-ongelmat ovat varmasti tekijä jossain toisaalla, mutta ne eivät selitä koko kuvaa, koska etenemistä ei tapahdu myöskään alueilla, joissa huolto olisi helppoa.
