An international investigation is already underway in Bucha, but everything is clear as day there. The national police entered the city and organized a purge of "collaborators", killing everyone who did not have a blue bandage on his arm, and especially those with a white one. Yes, even shooting a video about it, which they then tried in vain to remove from the network.
I like how you changed your position about Bucha. First you said that it was fake made by Ukraine when they carried out dead people to the streets to show it to foreign media. And now you're saying  that they made purge of collaborators.
If something goes against Russian narrative, just blame Ukrainians, even if all proofs  goes against you. About that video with shooting in Bucha, it's clearly visible that tanks have V letter used by Russian forces. Even Peskov was caught on interview. So, then he simply started to defend himself that it was fake.

Damn, what a night in Champions league. Despite that Villarreal won first leg, for me it was difficult to imagine them eliminating Bayern. But they full deserved it. Concede just 1 goal against Bayern in 180 minutes is solid stuff.
Feel sad for Chelsea. After making such comeback playing away and get eliminated. It's amazing how team can change just in one week. But Benzema was key factor in extra time.
Though, I don't agree with decision to cancel Alonso goal. IMO, that touch wasn't significant enough for such decision. Without VAR there probably wouldn't be mch discussions about that goal.

If there is no democracy in Russia, can the Russophobia and the Cancel culture, which is now being actively promoted in the West, be considered fair? Should Russian athletes and ordinary citizens be oppressed in some way if there is no democracy in Russia and Putin is an authoritarian dictator? I urge you to be consistent in this regard. If someone is restricted in their rights just because he is Russian, then there is democracy in Russia, and not in words, but in deeds. Is it logical?
Like I said multiple times already, nothing happens without a reason. Until 24th February Russians in world were completely normaly. They were accepted and welcomed everywhere. Though, some things is overkill and even looks a bit ridiculous. Removing Gagarin from history or Tchaikovsky music from orchestras isn't ok. But it' not policy of government, they didn't banned them. It's just individual decisions.

Real - Chelsea, what a crazy game! How good Chelsea was today and how bad they were week ago - it was two different teams. Amazing comeback without lucky ending. Another night of Benzema! Feel sad for Chelsea.
I just have doubts about Alonso goal which was called-off. I don't see handball there. Yeah, there was touch, but not significant enough to cancel goal IMO.

Damn, Villarreal, unbeleavable! Even after win in 1st leg I didn't beleived that Villarreal have chances to go through. I really don't know what to say. Bayern dominated game, they attacked more. But Villarreal deserved to go further. It's huge achievemnt to let Bayern to score only once in 180 minutes.
Real 1-3 Chelsea and we are in overtime. Chelsea - from zero to heroes. Amazing comeback with 3 goals at Santiago Bernabeu.

Does this question really need to be answered? Because of answer is more than obvious. I would say thar Russia pretends to be democratic state. They have thing which looks similar to elections, they have some politicians (or clowns) in opposition. They also had some free press, which was pretty much destroyed after new laws were made.
But now last signs of democracy is almost gone. with last constitution changes Putin can be president until 2036. Or probably as much as as he wants. Until this war, surprisingly there wasn't that much censorship in Russia as you could imagine. They had few independent TV, radio stations, newspapers and websites. Now it's all gone. Russians were able to follow foreign media like TV or internet. But now they started actively blocking all foreign media which don't comply with their agenda.

Russians have intentions to use chemical weapon in Mariupol. One of officials of DPR even said it on Russian TV without hiding it:
https://www.republicworld.com/world-news/russia-ukraine-crisis/dpr-militia-hints-at-possible-use-of-chemical-weapons-in-mariupols-azovstal-steel-plant-articleshow.html
If it will really happen (I hope that no), how West would react to it? Last month Biden said that US and NATO would respond to it.

Remember one simple thing, and if you have a bad memory, then write it down and read it every day before breakfast instead of morning prayer - a Russian soldier will never shoot at civilians, he will rather shoot at his commander who gave him such an order. Therefore, absolutely no one in Russia believes in cheap Ukrainian propaganda fakes, it is simply impossible because of the peculiarities of our mentality.
That's serious statement, but far from reality. If Russian soldiers aren't shooting at civilians, then who killed all these civilians in Ukraine. And please don't say again about fakes from Ukraine. How you can deny these proofs of Russians shooting civilians that were filmed on video. For example women on bike from Bucha. And nothing surprising that Russians don't believe in cheap Ukrainian propaganda. They prefer to believe in expensive Russian propaganda.
About below part of your post. Yeah, big part of Ukraine is Russian speaking, but it doesn't makes them pro-Russian. After war started, there isn't much love to Russia left.

An advertisement video appeared on social networks in which a woman in national Ukrainian clothes cuts the throat of a Russian man.
The video is accompanied by English subtitles.
This woman was identified as Lviv theater actress Andrianna Kurylets.
The footage contains scenes of violence! Link to the source: https://twitter.com/pilotmsv/status/1513131559834079234
Good video  with strong message. It's nothing surprising that Ukrainians don't show much love to Russians now.  But this video isn't something special or unique after all things I saw on social media after war started.

I have noticed similar things like you. At one point I was close to get into top 300 merited users. But I never got into it, despite that I continue to get more or less merits. I actually dropping a bit in list of top merited users.
But I think it's normal thing. It's easier to climb up to the certain point because there is some inactive or banned users in your road. And you simply getting merits faster than some users. But when you reach top 200 or 300, things getting a bit more difficult even if you continue to get merits. Most users on the top is active, they're best posters and they continue to get decent number of merit.
Also, I don't lie description top 150 or top 200 bst posters. It's all ok with these users, but users with less merit also can be called as high quality posters. Some of them joined forum later, so, they didn't had enough time to get so many merits. Also, as said above, sometimes it's also important to be in right place on the right time.

Match with Levante was more difficult than expected. There was feeling that two similar level teams are playing and that one of these teams isn't in the bottom of table. Well, it's usual that teams in relegation zone seriously improve how they are playing because they desperately need to survive.
Xavi did good job with substitutions. Luuk de Jong don't have big role, but how many times this season he saved our asses?

Well, race were really worth to wake up so early on Sunday morning. There was no doubts about Leclerc win. After one of safety cars Vertappen was very close to overtake him, but how likely that he would be able to keep position.
Russel was lucky to get P3 after he was able to make cheap pit stop after Vettel's crash. It was awful weekend for Vettel. Good to see return of Mclaren, solid race for both drivers. And Albon- that moment when you make your only pit stop on final lap Cheesy I really wanted to see him getting point.

Yes, and i think its very important to Leclerc to make now a gap, because for me, Mercedes come back can pass in any moment of the season, so if this pass in the middle of the season and you have built a big gap, maybe you can be the champion only finishing the races in podiums or top five spots, because we can have 6 drivers fighting each others for the points.
Good point abount making gap while Mercedes and Red Bull have problems and have to fight with their own demons. I don't believe that it's going to last for whole season and sooner or later they will fix their issues.

Judging by the comments on "this listing" in CoinATMRadar, it seems that there's still one left.
- After expanding its feedback section, the last comment appears to be from 5 months ago and it has a "Longlasting Available" status.
Oh, that's nice! When I checked this stuff last time, there was no active Bitcoin ATM in Vilnius and whole country. And seems that this one was installed not so long time ago, in August 2021. I don't have plans to go to Vilnius soon, but I can ask my friends from Vilnius about this ATM.

The Belarusians fired their Tochka-U missiles at the joint exercises, it's true. The flight range of Tochka-U is 120 km, it will not fly from the territory of Belarus to Kramatorsk. Tochka-U is a good powerful missile, but obsolete, rather slow, and it flies along a ballistic trajectory, although it can steer a little towards the target, for example, to compensate for gusts of wind. If it was not shot down (and the rocket in Kramatorsk worked normally), then by the location of the tail section relative to the epicenter of the impact, it is easy to determine where it came from. Moreover, on the tail section there is a serial number of the missile, by which you can accurately determine which military unit it was in service with. You are not interested in such trifles when you are sure in advance that you are right, right?
Good point about flight range. But about that Russia don't use Tochka U anymore, it's lie. For example, this system were shown in May 9th parade in Korenovsk last year:
https://t.me/uniannet/45503
And about serial number of missile, such thing isn't public and any army never will not announce such things in public. So we won't know this, unless independent investigation will be made.

Quote
According to some characteristic features of this launch, such as one rocket taking off before the second from one point, I can assume that Iskander-K is operating in this video, it has a dual launcher. Tochka-U usually also work in pairs, but from two different installations and with a synchronous start. In this case, it appears to have been a single strike, because there were no reports of a second missile at Kramatorsk.
I'm not military expert to be certain to say what type of missile we see in this video. But do we have reports of Iskander hitting something yesterday? And from reports, it's visible on photos that missile landed in north-east direction, what means that it arrived from south or southwest. Shakhstark is directed in south from Kramatorsk

Quote
I don't comment on conspiracy theories. There are easier ways to determine the culprit of what happened - for example, check the serial numbers on the tail of the rocket or analyze its trajectory.
4, is conspiracy theory indeed. It might be true, or just coincidence. But 3, isn't conspiracy. How they can announce such message before it actually happened. And using tool for scheduled post - it's possible that this message was prepared much earlier.


Quote
And the reasons for provocations under a false flag are very simple - Ukraine needs to continue to keep the attention of the world community at all costs, so that there are new deliveries of weapons and financial assistance from the West, and the West's sanctions pressure on Russia intensifies, even if it already hurts the West itself.
If something happens against Russian agenda it's false flag attacks from Ukraine. Nothing new from Russia. But usually it's just conspiracy theories without any proffs and it doesn't amkes much sense.

Another difficult game for Ajax with lucky ending. They won against Sparta not without difficulties. Sparta took a lead in first half. After all, Ajax managed to win game, but it wasn't easy, considering that Sparta is bottom table team. Win is win, Ajax keep leading, but tut now they don't look like such big force like they were in first half of season.
Tomorrow PSV will face Walwijk, probably not that team which can make troubles for them.

In the classic of the Polish league, Lech Poznań has just drawn in the match with Legia Warszawa. Thanks to this result and yesterday's unexpected defeat of Pogoń, tomorrow Raków Częstochowa will have the opportunity to take the position of the leader of Ekstraklasa. It seems quite probable, as their rival, Śląsk Wrocław, is in a rather bad shape lately. The competition for the Polish championship is really interesting this season.
Lech - Legia is always big game, no matter of position of teams in the table. Draw between these teams today isn't big surprise, considering solid Legia perfromance after winter break. From what I saw Lech were slighlty better, they attacked more, but not enough to win. BTW, today Legia ultras had powerful message:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mPHVbR9v88&t=5s
Interesting that most hated person in the world wear Spartak shirt in the banner and this team is big rival for Legia.

I think this is another provocation by Ukraine under a false flag, shortly after Bucha. Russia does not have Tochka-U missiles in service, and in the direction of the wreckage, it flew in from the southwest, from the territory controlled by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
I didn't expected to hear something different from you. Ok, let's debunk it:
1. Russian forces used Tochka-U in military training in Belarus just before war in Ukraine:
https://rg.ru/2022/02/15/na-ucheniiah-v-belarusi-otrabatyvaiut-puski-raket-i-podderzhku-oboroniaiushchihsia-vojsk.html
It's also possibe that attack was made using Belarus owned Tochka-U, but I don't think that it change something.
2. You're saying that it flew from southwest, but there is reports and video taht Tochka-U was released from Shakhtarsk direction, which is controlled by Russia:
https://t.me/itsdonetsk/11817
3. Kramatorsk station was hited on 10:30 AM local time, but on Russian media there was message about it on 10:25 AM local time. Interesting that tweet was made via TweetDeck - tool used to make scheduled tweets:
https://twitter.com/rianru/status/1512345886268997632
4. Day before this attack on one pro-Russian Telegram channel there was post for people who are leaving Kramatorsk, Slovyansk and near cities suggesting to avoid railway transport:
https://imgur.com/TVZMOlu
And after all, I don't see why Ukraine would need to kill their own citizens, especially in such expensive way - they don't have that much Tochka-U missiles.

Bodo/Glimt already become biggest nightmare for Mourinho Cheesy. And I wouldn't even call this result as surprise or upset. Bodo/Glimt is very solid and hard to beat team, especially at home.
Feyenoord - Slavia was really epic game. It's something what you can expect to see in games were Slavia is involved. And now I even would call them as favorites before 2nd leg.

Eintracht 1:1 Barcelona. Not bad result after all, though expected more. Everything will be decided in 2nd leg game. It's only disappointing that Barca haven't created anything dangerous in last 15 minutes when Tuta was sent off.
West Ham 1:1 Lyon is something expected. Hammers scored goal playing with 10 men, but they enjoyed lead not for long.

Though Ukraine is not an official member of alliance, but according to the NATO Secretary General, their block have trained tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops who are now at war with Russia, NATO supplies Ukraine with various types of weapons. I suppose no one will dispute the fact that the alliance forces are taking part in this military conflict on the side of Ukraine. Although the alliance doesn't want to enter into a direct confrontation with Russia, what is happening now is more like NATO fights against Russia to the last Ukrainian.
Not giving asurance to Russia that Ukraine won't join NATO is just polite way to say no without closing doors completely. But now even Zelensky aren't making false illusions that Ukraine will be accepted into NATO one day. Same stuff applies to Gerorgia too probably.
NATO didn't got involved into this war directly. Training troops isn't something significant. NATO did same thing in Afghanistan and some other countries. And all these trainers already left country since start of war. Sending weapons is another question, but it's not direct involvement. Not just NATO are doing it, but also neutral countries like Finland.


Quote
Even taking into account military actions, I believe that in the civilized world it is unacceptable to talk about "low deaths" among civilians. Need to constantly keep in mind that these are not just numbers but human pain, injuries and broken destinies.
Actually, nobody knows real number of victims and I doubt that numbers can be called low. Just in Bucha there was hundreds of dead civilians. We can only imagine how many people were killed in Mariupol.
And we aren't talking about accidentally killed civilians. From what we can see that Russians are killing civilians intentionally.
