New @AP reporting tonight: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was asked to evacuate Kyiv at the behest of the U.S. government but turned down the offer. An American official tells me Zelenskyy said, “The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.”

Today is the 160th anniversary of the abolition of serfdom in Russia. "Czar Alexander II grants people freedom." The Russian view of freedom hasn't really changed much since.

Lost Connection ads on Russian social media: “A woman with red hair, we were both detained by police on the intersection of so and so street. You shared a cigarette with me. We talked about being scared. It felt good to sit with you there. I was shy to ask your name.” ❤️

Посмотрите на этот кадр. Утро в специальном изоляторе в Сахарово. В камере на 8 мест 28 человек спят после бессонной ночи в автобусах. В центре кадра, держась за стойку, пытается спать Смирнов. Полный коллапс.

This story is just the pits. An 85-year-old grandfather in the North Caucasus was driven to suicide after cops found a wild hemp plant in his garden, and charged him with drug possession. He was afraid to die in jail and hanged himself.
