#Russia #threatens #Latvia over unfounded claims of #Ukrainian #drone launch plans
Russia's foreign intelligence service on May 19 threatened a military attack against Latvia after making unfounded accusations about plans for Ukrainian drone launches from Latvian territory.
The claim comes amid #Moscow's increasing inability to fend off Ukrainian drone attacks, which it falsely claims are made possible by the #BalticStates granting Kyiv #access to their #airspace.

It's #VictoryDay!
Some decrepit #Kremlin goons spent 45 minutes saluting each other in #RedSquare

For Victory Day, celebrating the #RedArmy's defeat of #NaziGermany in a war started when the #Soviets and the #Nazis agreed to invade #Poland together, let's watch this new video from #Kramatorsk
Ukrainians cower, fearful of " #HumanSafari": #Ukraine's civilians are hunted for laughs by #Russia's drones, the videos then posted on #socialMedia

super #trolling:
"On holding a parade in #Moscow
Taking into account numerous requests, with a humanitarian purpose outlined in negotiations with the American side, I hereby decree:
To *permit* a parade to be held in #Moscow ( #Russia Federation) on May 9
For the duration of the parade (from 10 am #Kyiv time), the territorial square of #RedSquare shall be excluded from the plan for the use of Ukrainian weapons
President of #Ukraine V. #ZELENSKY"

"Ukraine reportedly launches dozens of #drones at #Moscow ahead of #VictoryDayParade"
There is high stakes #trolling going on right now about #Russia's May 9 #parade
#Ukraine has already heard the word " #nuclear" (Russia's goto #threat) in response to the mere hint Ukraine has the capacity to strike the parade
My advice, for what it's worth (not much):
It's a good #headfake scenario
Let #Putin have his #anxiety and strike another #oilRefinery on May 9

Ukraine reportedly launches dozens of drones at Moscow ahead of Victory Day Parade
Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin claimed that Ukraine's military launched dozens of drones towards the Russian capital throughout the night on May 8, just one day before Moscow is set to stage its annual Victory Day military parade.Dmytro Basmat (The Kyiv Independent)
"They want from #Ukraine a permit to hold their parade, so that they can go out onto the square safely for one hour once a year, and then go on killing our people and waging war...
We have also received messages from some states close to #Russia, saying that their representatives plan to be in #Moscow. An odd desire in these days. We do not recommend it"

NEWSFLASH: Trump declares a 3-day Ukraine-Russia ceasefire
The ceasefire is set to start on the day of Russia’s WWII Victory Day Parade and include a prisoner exchange.Jacqueline Cole (The Counteroffensive with Tim Mak)
#Trump said Friday that the leaders of #Russia & #Ukraine have agreed to his request for a 3-day #ceasefire & an exchange of prisoners, adding that such a halt to hostilities could be the “beginning of the end” of the long war between them.
Trump posted on social media that the ceasefire would run Saturday through Monday. Saturday is Victory Day in Russia, a holiday that commemorates its victory over Nazi Germany 81 years ago.
Foolishly, Ukraine has showed unwavering support for the Israeli military regime and yet again, Tel Aviv shows that it does not give a flying fuck about anyone else bar itself.
When are nation states going to realise that they are all being taken for a ride by the regime on stolen property.
The Israeli military regime does not have a right to exist if that existence is at the expense of innocent people and other nations.

Reuters uncovered a broader‑than‑previously known Trump administration effort to gain federal control over elections, historically run locally, in at least eight states – using investigations, raids and demands for access to balloting systems and voter ID.

"Russia’s economy minister admits ‘reserves have largely been used up’ while communist lawmaker warns of 1917-style revolution as #GDP shrinks"
Endless gloom and #doom stories about #Russia's #economy means you can forgive people for being jaded on the topic
They are correct that people saying #collapse is imminent are wrong
But
It's also wrong to conclude that Russia won't collapse
The truth:
It won't be tomorrow
But it also won't be never
Russia is in deep shit

What can be done to avoid this type of phishing attack on Signal users?
Also, how could the attackers have known which Signal accounts beloned to government officials in the first place? They must have shared their contact info publicly somehow?
The attacks work by sending messages purporting to come from Signal support.
Victims are urged to hand over sensitive account information, which the attackers can then use to gain access to their chat groups and messages.
When the scam is successful, the hackers gain access to photos and files shared on Signal and can also impersonate the person whose account was compromised.
