I’m in Sharm El Sheik and there are loads of dour old Russians with their shit clothes and stumpy little wives. It feels extremely strange.

All the businesses here are in massive trouble because the resort used to be full of both Russian and Ukrainian tourists. It’s 3/4 empty.

I imagine most hotels there have lost a fortune in replacing the mini bar fridges that the russians have stolen upon check out

Quote from Kadyrov: "The conscripts are filming videos complaining about the lack of one thing or another, the lack of guns, outdated guns, ill-fitting uniforms. But wait, on the other side, our enemy has good weapons, good uniforms, they have everything.

We have to take it from them; we’ll take it from them. We mustn’t cry, if our state and our president need us. Keep all your faults to yourselves."
