Far from being pro-Putin, Corbyn warned against him when others didn’t
The Corbyn-bashing goes on, mainly to divert us from what the Tories and other right-wingers have been doing.

Social media posts debunking purported Ukrainian disinformation are themselves fake. That doesn’t stop them from being featured on Russian state TV.

Transparency organization Distributed Denial of Secrets has released what it says is 800GB of data from a section of Roskomnadzor, the Russian government body responsible for censorship in the country.
On Distributed Denial of Secrets’ website, the organization describes the data as coming from a hack and says that Anonymous claimed responsibility. Roskomnadzor is the agency that has in recent days announced a block of Facebook and other websites in the country as the war in Ukraine intensifies.

As military conflict has mounted between Ukraine and Russia, so have fears of unprecedented cyberwar.
Experts are monitoring both countries closely, fearing a volatile crisis involving one of the world’s leading hacking super powers could lead to a huge conflict playing out online – one that could outlast the physical battles.

The BBC is to resume English language reporting in Russia after it had temporarily suspended its coverage to assess the implications of the country’s new media law.
It paused the work of its news reporters and support staff in Russia on Friday after legislation was passed making it a criminal offence to spread “fake” or “false” news about the Kremlin’s war in Ukraine.
The BBC said it had “considered the implications” of the law and that after “careful deliberation” it would continue English language reporting from Tuesday evening.
Have they thought about what could happen to their reporters in Russia?
“We will tell this crucial part of the story independently and impartially, adhering to the BBC’s strict editorial standards. The safety of our staff in Russia remains our No 1 priority.”
That'll be a 'no' then.

As the conflict in Ukraine escalates, expert cyber-watchers have been speculating about the kind of cyber-attacks that Russia might conduct. Will the Kremlin turn off Ukraine’s power grid, dismantle Ukraine’s transport system, cut off the water supply or target the health system? Or would cybercriminals operating from Russia, who could act as proxies for the Russian regime, conduct these activities?

Nearly two weeks after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the flow of false or misleading information about the war hasn't let up and now there are some outlandish theories being shared online.
Some have begun to circulate claims the war is a hoax, a media fabrication, or has been exaggerated by the West in terms of its scale.
We've examined some of them.
They're even reusing some of the same lies from the Covid crisis.

A Kremlin-backed media outlet masquerading as a left-wing news source has spent the last week racking up likes and shares on its viral content designed to undermine U.S. support for Ukraine.

If this is genuine, it's a devastating indictment by an FSB insider of just how bad things are, and will continue to be, for Russia. Amongst many other things, it mentions a "localized nuclear strike", which I'd previously thought about and assumed might involve a single weapon - horrible beyond belief, but survivable by the majority of the population. From what he says about the 'big red button', a single nuclear weapon might be the worse-case scenario but probably won't happen at all.
I'm not in a position to verify anything in this thread, and since I don't have a Facebook account, I can neither view nor verify the version on Facebook, linked to from the last post in the thread. For all I know, it could be total misinformation.
I haven't had time to go down my D* feed for today, so it's possible that someone else has posted about this. If anyone else knows anything, please add a comment.

1. The FSB is the Russian intelligence service, successor to the KGB.)
2. Igor Sushko, the guy who posted the thread, is the translator of the FSB document, not the originator. He doesn't say who the originator is, and that information might not be available.

The BBC has made its international news website available via the Tor network, in a bid to thwart censorship attempts.
You know that thing about having to help your older relatives with tech stuff over a phone call… Well, anyway, this is a good move on the BBC’s part.

This past weekend, as negotiations around aircraft began, President Zelensky announced the formation of an International Brigade to fight in Ukraine. This program, which allows foreigners with military experience to enlist in Ukraine’s Territorial Defense Forces, is a wise move. However, NATO member nations should expand that effort. They should help Zelensky take it one step further by working with his defense ministry to create a program within their respective air forces that would grant pilots from NATO countries leaves of absence to fly in Ukraine.

Are Ukrainians more deserving of sympathy than Afghans and Iraqis? Many seem to think so
Even Zelensky said something like “We are just like you”. The people who come out with these disguised racist statements: where were they when Russia was helping Assad bomb his own people? Did they stand with Syria?

Police in Poland have warned that fake reports of violent crimes being committed by people fleeing Ukraine are circulating on social media after Polish nationalists attacked and abused groups of African, south Asian and Middle Eastern people who had crossed the border last night.
Attackers dressed in black sought out groups of non-white refugees, mainly students who had just arrived in Poland at Przemyśl train station from cities in Ukraine after the Russian invasion. According to the police, three Indians were beaten up by a group of five men, leaving one of them hospitalised.
Don’t call them nationalists. They’re racists. They belong in prison.
