Off to fight for the Russians?

Russia puts journalist on 'wanted' list after he exposed Putin's purges of spy agency blamed for failings in Ukraine - [Link]

"Andrei Soldatov, a journalist and prominent expert on Russia's security services, told Insider that has been placed on a "wanted" list in Russia and had his bank accounts frozen after fleeing the country.

The investigative reporter said the move was retaliation for exposing purges and failings in Russia's security services amid the stalled invasion of Ukraine.

Soldatov, who founded the website Agenta.ru that monitors Russia's security services, said in a tweet Tuesday: "My Monday: my accounts in Russian banks are under arrest, plus I'm placed on Russia's wanted list."

Soldatov told Insider that the case had been filed by the Russian Investigative Committee, the Russian government's main prosecution office.

He said it was not clear what he had been accused of, but that it likely related to new laws seeking to suppress what the Kremlin deems to be "fake news" about the war in Ukraine.

I think it's caused by my reporting about the role of the FSB [Russia's domestic security agency] in the war," he said.

Interestingly, he left Russia because they ended his media license with the reason given that he'd died. He took that as a hint.

This could have the opposite effect Putin is looking for. Why surrender when you are going to be shot anyway?

If he thinks that will stop us from helping he doesn't know the Brits at all does he!

It was the DPR, not Russia, there are strategic reasons why.

The DPR! The DPR is Russia, just like Quisling's Norway was Nazi.

You can spew out your abuse as much as you like, people only have to read your posts on Ukraine to see whether you are an apologist for the Russians or not.
