Quote from the Chief Intelligence Directorate: "A Russian serviceman talks about the large number of victims among the occupiers as a result of the ‘unrest’ in the village of Zapesochye in Bryansk Oblast of the Russian Federation."

Quote from the recorded man: "Information from Zapesochye. A bunch of ambulances; they wrecked the border guards, the military. They were standing somewhere either in Zapesochye itself or near Zapesochye.

I don't know about the dead, but they say there’s a s**t ton of wounded, because there’s a f**k ton of ambulances there. So, they hit f**king well, damn it."

Details: According to the Chief Intelligence Directorate, "riots took place" in the Pogar district of the Bryansk region of Russia. Not only the military personnel were wounded, but a Russian armoured personnel carrier was disabled as well. Other machinery, equipment, and property of the occupiers was damaged.

The Chief Intelligence Directorate believes that the latest events in Bryansk Oblast indicate that armed protest against the current regime of Vladimir Putin "is possible within the Russian Federation".

That's a bit of a stupid tweet.

Not the "win" they make it out to be. They live to fight another day, it is is really "just for now".

They were not kicked out, just weren't elected.

The tweet also doesn't understand that Russia is not elected to the SC, they are PERMANENT member with VETO power.

Once they are kicked out of that, then there would be real progress and we can celebrate. Until that happens, the U.N. stays a bit flawed. Personally I maintain NO ONE should have any veto rights.

From the same article, they were elected to two commissions in any case (albeit by acclamation).

"In the voting for members of 14 commissions, boards and expert groups that ECOSOC oversees, Russia was elected to the Commission for Social Development by acclamation – which the United States and the United Kingdom dissociated their countries from, saying Russia’s invasion violates international law and Ukraine’s territorial integrity.

Russia was also elected by acclamation to the Intergovernmental Working Group of Experts on International Standards of Accounting and Reporting,"
Also this (from this site here):
"For many people, the term ‘vote by acclamation' or 'elected by acclamation' is not something that they don’t come across regularly and may be unfamiliar. In simple terms, it essentially refers to an uncontested election where the number of candidates equals (or is less than) the number of seats that are vacant. As a result, the outcome of the balloting process is totally predictable, thereby eliminating the need to go through the process of mailing and counting votes."
