The “conflict”, i.e. the armed invasion, started in southern #Ukraine when the Russian #army occupied #Crimea in February 2014. The Russian-inspired separatist #uprising in the east started later, in about a month.
It was clear to us from the beginning that Russia could not do any good in Ukraine. By 2014, a reactionary authoritarian regime had already been established in #Russia that denied all individual and social rights and brutally persecuted and destroyed all independent activity. Of course, we still have many questions about the Ukrainian state and the ruling class in Ukraine. But at least the anarchist movement, the socialist movement in Ukraine was able to operate relatively freely for some years. It suffices to say that throughout the existence of the independent Ukrainian state, there has not been a single political anarchist prisoner here. At the same time, many dozens of our comrades in Russia ended up in Russian prisons – guilty solely for their anarchist convictions. So, we were well aware of what #Putin did for libertarian ideas.
The #RKAS reaction was therefore irreversible: it was necessary to resist the Russian attack by all means.

In fact, the Russian Federation was rarely referred to as an empire before the 2008 invasion of #Georgia: indeed, it itself had remained unsure of exactly what it was for much of the preceding period, with various versions of ‘Russia’ – multicultural federation, nation-state, and, indeed, #empire — competing against each other for much of that period. And, besides, many in the #West were too committed to the ‘liberal’ Boris Yeltsin, and too taken in by Vladimir Putin’s demonstrative enthusiasm for the Global War on #Terror to turn the brutal — and very imperial — wars in #Chechnya, and indirect ‘divide-and-rule’ meddling elsewhere into a point of principle.
#Russia’s post-2014 aggressions against #Ukraine have now unequivocally pushed the dial. Calls for its breakup, and the self-determination of its 83 internationally recognised federal subjects and over 190 ethnic groups have also become more vocal of late.

some great delicious bs

The leader of a revolutionary Black supremacist communist cult that previously burned Anne Frank's diary has been arrested for kidnapping, imprisonment and forced #sodomy after a member of the commune was found dead at the group's home in Fayetteville, #Georgia last Tuesday.

As soon as the full-scale invasion began, Ukrainians everywhere asked only one question: “Why? Why do they hate us so much? ”
Then the whole #society united in one movement, to tell the truth to so-called ordinary Russians.
We would massively send them photos and videos of the atrocities committed by Russian soldiers in #Ukraine. We would call our acquaintances and relatives in #Russia to explain the horrors of this #war. Hoping to arouse their sympathy. We thought that when the Russians saw all the atrocities, they would definitely condemn this lawlessness.
Instead, we saw en masse the absence of any #compassion.
Not to a 1-year-old boy from the city of #Izium, who was raped by two Russian soldiers simultaneously and died. Not to a 16-year-old girl from #Irpin, whose nails were torn off by Russians, then she was raped and shot in the head.
The majority of Russians have not condemned all these #warcrimes. They begin to show #pride and approval.

In the three months since #Russia launched a full-scale invasion of #Ukraine, the general mood among the elites in #Moscow has flipped more than once. In early March, insiders told Meduza that President Putin’s decision to go to war horrified most #Kremlin and ministerial officials, who feared that Western #sanctions would ruin their careers and maybe even their lives. Shortly thereafter, however, a “patriotic surge” took hold. By April, several prominent figures were calling publicly to fight “to the bitter end.”
Now, three months into the #war, pessimism is staging a comeback. “It won’t be possible to live like before. Any talk of development is out the window. But life goes on. There are gray imports. There’s trade with #China and #India,” said a source close to the prime minister’s cabinet.
At the same time, officials in the Kremlin still see no realistic scenario in which President #Putin could end the hostilities in Ukraine and retain his high approval rating in Russia. As Meduza reported previously, the administration’s domestic policy team has been brainstorming strategies to “withdraw with dignity” since just a few weeks into the invasion, but officials have yet to come up with anything.

In late March, scores of contract soldiers from #SouthOssetia refused to fight in #Ukraine and left for their homes. According to our source, all of the objectors’ contracts had been voided shortly after. Still, almost a hundred soldiers returned, and some of them will be sent back to the #war zone. Some twenty contract soldiers challenged their dismissals in court. After the return to the self-declared republic, the soldiers had a meeting with South #Ossetia's President Anatoly Bibilov. They described insufferable conditions, broken equipment, and the absence of higher-ups at the front lines. Bibilov expressly advised against any recording of the conversation, yet the exchange was recorded anyway. We publish excerpts translated from Ossetian by a native speaker.

Georgia solar association calls for Georgia Power to add 4 GW of near-term solar


Higher natural gas prices call for more near-term solar, said Georgia's solar trade group in testimony on Georgia Power's proposed resource plan, adding that a utility cap on rooftop solar should be lifted. Two other groups challenged the utility's modeling choices.
