Details about what is happening

Analysis. The combat results of the fourth day of the war. The Russian army has obvious tactics problems

On the fourth day of the war, on February 27, the Russian army in Ukraine continued to suffer heavy losses, but now it did not even compensate this with territorial acquisitions. The crisis of logistics and stretched communications is aggravated, in the rear and at the front, more and more often Russian columns fall into ambushes. The number of abandoned and gained Russian technology is increasing all the time .

Analysis. The authorities promise to check for the Stateizer "Each fact of assistance to a foreign state." What will happen to those who opposed the war now?

Yesterday, the Prosecutor General’s Office promised to “give a legal assessment” if the Russians will provide “assistance to a foreign state to the detriment of the security of the Russian Federation” during the war with Ukraine. The department emphasized that “financial, material, technical, consulting or other assistance to a foreign state in activities directed against the security of the Russian Federation” will be considered as state treason. Lawyer Ivan Pavlov (we are forced to indicate that he is declared a “foreign agent”), who specializes in the affairs of the Stateismman, says that this means for Russians opposing the war .

Photos and video. The shelling of Kharkov

On February 28, Kharkov - the second largest city of Ukraine - was apparently subjected to the most destructive shelling from the beginning of the Russian invasion. In social networks, many photo and video offers of explosions and destruction in residential quarters appeared. This is how it looks .

Reportage. How Odessa is experiencing a Russian invasion

Odessa became one of the cities from which on February 24, Russian troops began an attack on Ukraine. Since then, the city continues to be sheated. Even before the start of the war, in appeal to the Russians, where Vladimir Putin announced the recognition of the DPR and the LPR, he promised that all those guilty of the deaths of people in the Odessa House of Trade Unions in May 2014 would be punished. Now residents of the city are hiding in bomb shelters and join the ranks of territorial defense. Especially for Medusa, the local journalist Mikhail Shtekel tells how the townspeople worry the first days of this war .

The podcast "What happened." How will “suffocating sanctions” turn out for Russia?

In the new episode of the podcast “What happened” we are talking with a candidate of economic sciences, an assistant professor of RANEPA Nikolai Kulbak about the consequences of new sanctions imposed on Russia because of the war in Ukraine. He believes that this situation will result in disaster for the country, comparable to the beginning of the 1990s.

Support Medusa. Now. This is critical

We are preparing for the worst. Because of the war with Ukraine, the Russian authorities are likely to block independent media. International sanctions against the Central Bank and other Russian banks will hit our crowdfunding.
