Interesting. Will probably be dismissed by experts on MyBB as anti-Ukraine or some such.

Russian Officials Face Almost Total Ban on Foreign Travel - The Moscow Times

Russian officials and employees of state-owned companies are increasingly being told to surrender their passports to members of the security services to ensure they cannot flee the country, a joint investigation by independent media outlets Current Time and Radio Liberty has concluded.
Requirements vary from job to job, with some state employees told to hand in their foreign passports to the FSB or a similar special department at their workplace, while others were just advised in no uncertain terms not to travel abroad on vacation, according to the investigation.
Officials who fail to hand their passports over are threatened with having them revoked, while employees at state-owned companies are generally given the opportunity to resign if they refuse to hand over their passports for safekeeping.
Travel restrictions may range from a complete ban on leaving Russia for some to having permission only to visit one of Russia’s dwindling number of allies or members of the Eurasian Economic Union for others.


Exceptions are possible, Current Time reported, adding that for a "good reason" permission could be obtained to fly to the UAE, though anyone doing so would be required to submit a written report about their trip upon their return to Russia.
The investigation found that the rules tended to get stricter with proximity to power. Kremlin employees, for example, are no longer allowed to leave Russia at all.
The vast recent expansion of travel restrictions does not appear to have any basis in law, however. Current Russian law only prohibits foreign travel to officials with access to state secrets, members of the FSB as well as members of the military.
In February, responding to a question from journalists about the ban on travel abroad, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said that no such ban existed for Russian officials.

Zelenskyy responds to petition on renaming Russia to Muscovy

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has reviewed an electronic petition, the author of which proposes to officially rename Russia to Muscovy and to change the terms Russian to Muscovian, as well as the Russian Federation to Moscovian Federation.

www.pravda.com.ua

Details: The author of the petition, which has gathered more than 25,000 signatures, points out that "the historical name of Russia is Muscovy."

"This name was used in European and some Asian languages. This name also appears on many historical maps of the 16th-19th centuries, which were produced in Europe before and after the renaming of the Muscovite Empire to the Russian Empire," the petition says.

The author of the appeal emphasises that "Russia has existed for only 301 years"— since 22 October 1721, when Muscovian Tsar Peter I proclaimed the Muscovy Kingdom to be the "Russian Empire".

In his answer, Volodymyr Zelenskyy indicated that "the issue raised in the petition needs to be carefully worked out both in terms of the historical and cultural context, and in view of the possible international legal consequences."

Zelenskyy also announced that he had asked Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal to comprehensively work out this issue together with scientific institutions.

Over a year into Russia's war in Ukraine, trade into the country appears to have stabilized, despite a series of aggressive western sanctions aimed at crippling the economy and Moscow's war machine. Exploding exports of smartphones, refrigerators and washing machines from the likes of Turkey, Kazakhstan and others close to Russia suggest unorthodox new trade routes that could be supplying Russia with key technological components. In this week's DW Business Special, economist Michael Rochlitz explains why what seems like a creative workaround is a sign that sanctions are working

Defying Russia’s assault, Ukraine completes a 114-MW wind farm

Despite Russia’s ongoing invasion, Ukrainian energy company DTEK Group has finished the construction of a 114 MW wind farm.

This is the best way to piss on Putin's batteries. Rub it in his face that less and less of the fossil fuel filth he has used to maintain his power is needed in the world.

She isn't left wing at all, kudos to her for serving in the military but she is following the money. Left wing people don't usually appear on Fox News as often as she does..


None of the above, her antiwar stance playing into Putin's playbook is more than enough for me to label her as a money chasing shill.

I doubt she has made a cent from it. Unlike the Clintons, Bidens and Obama she is not a money whore.
She is definitely left. But you see the Democrats as left, when in fact they are neo-liberal authoritarian fascist warmongers. Unlike Tulsi.

As I'm sure has been pointed out, his brother supported the disastrous war in Iraq and believed in the WMD hoax. Their careers are completely separate. Only those who have no sound arguments bring up his late brother for some reason, thinking it's a trump card or something. Guess you have nothing else.

What do you think she does for a living since she is no longer in government..?

She is definitly left.

Which of her current views would you consider to be "left"?
