Russia says the U.S. has not responded to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s proposal to keep observing nuclear missile and warhead limits for another 12 months as the two countries’ arms treaty expired. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/05/world/politics/russia-us-treaty-nuclear-limits/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #nuclearweapons #russia #vladimirputin #us #donaldtrump
@benroyce yes and Putin apologists seems to be the beginning of many of them turning.
#tankies are mindless contrarians
"i hate the usa so i support vile regimes" is not principled nor moral
the moral, principled approach is to castigate the #USA *and* #Russia
supporting Russian #imperialism in the name of opposing American imperialism is just fucking stupid
so supposedly intellectual #NoamChomsky is functioning on the same level as a 14 year old edgelord in this fashion
#Chomsky's pedophile apologism in the #EpsteinFiles is just the final nail in the coffin

#Russia military channels moaning that their #Starlink terminals used on the occupied territories of #Ukraine stop working en masse, indicating that the whitelist enforcement discussed between Ukraine MOD and Starlink technical lead only last weeks started to be implemented. One Russian milblogger complained a few days ago that if this happens, Russian tank crews will be “returned to last century” in terms of communications and situational awareness.

#Russia authorities of the occupied #Mariupol moved to the next logical stage of obscuring the scale of their war crimes during the siege of the town in 2022. Mass graves in Vinogradne and Mangush, where thousands of bodies from the town were dumped following successful occupation are now being bulldozed and road is being built on top of them. Russia never allowed UN or any independent humanitarian commission to investigate the number of casualties caused by very violent siege of Mariupol while they blocked civilian evacuation attempts. The mass graves are however so massive that they are visible on satellite photos.

Italian security agencies have “foiled a series of cyberattacks” of “Russian origin,” Italy’s foreign secretary says, just days before the country is set to host the Winter Olympic Games. The attacks, which Russia is believed to have also carried out in 2018 and 2024, come after Russia was banned from competing over doping infractions and its war in Ukraine. Read more from @dw

Poland will launch an investigation into possible links between the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and Russian intelligence, as well as any impact on Poland, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Tuesday. "More and more leads, more and more information, and more and more commentary in the global press all relate to the suspicion that this unprecedented paedophilia scandal was co-organised by Russian intelligence services," Tusk said.
