Russian forces restrict access to external communication at Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the International Atomic Energy Agency said on March 6. Mobile networks and internet access at the power plant have been blocked by occupying Russian forces and all operations conducted by the plant’s staff require approval by a Russian commander, the IAEA said in a statement.
Oh dear..
May I quietly point out that even in the most liberal democracies, treason in time of war is punishable by summary execution.
From Seumas Milne, who in his youth was part of the pro-Soviet faction in the Communist Party of Great Britain. I'm not saying you can ignore his analyst, but he's not an impartial observer. Also its not news, its 8 years old commentary.Some more perspective, from 2014.

In terms of its politics, Straight Left was uncritical in its support of the Soviet Union and vehemently opposed anything that smelled of Khrushchevite revisionism. The newspaper backed the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 and, retrospectively, the prior Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia.

Reminds me of when Russian E/W were used to jam TB2 drones during Karabakh war, it took a day for TB2 to be updated to counter the jamming. Also very important that countries who buy military equipment which relys on radio frequencies should be given some capability to update software of the platforms to counter jamming.
And this is definitely a “staged” event by the standards of that paper. Again, another violation of the Geneva Convention. https://nypost.com/2022/03/07/captured-russian-officer-apologizes-to-ukraine-for-genocide/amp/Again, another violation of the Geneva Convention regarding the filming of prisoners of war. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...ssian-pilots-beg-mercy-filmed-shot-field.html![]()
Does the Filming of the Russian POWs Violate the Geneva Conventions?
I recently wrote a column on why I believe that the Russians are now committing flagrant war crimes. Ukraine is the victim of those crimes and the images from that country are truly sickening. Vla…jonathanturley.org
Filming prisoners of war is a violation of the Geneva Convention. Basically, any video in which individual prisoners are identifiable is a war crime. It doesn’t even have to involve coercion or torture. This is something that every soldier knows.
More food for thought.

Even if they tried some subterfuge to get those MiGs across the border some nosey planespotter or ADS-B watcher is bound to blow the gaff.Polish planes “will not fight over Ukraine” to support the embattled country’s defence against Russia, Polish government officials said on Monday.
Marcin Przydacz, a deputy foreign minister, said in an interview on Radio Zet:
But, separately, the government’s spokesman Piotr Mueller indicated a final decision had not been made, the Associated Press reported. He said that the decision on whether to send fighter jets presented risks and was a “very delicate matter’.We will not open our airports and Polish planes will not fight over Ukraine ... Polish planes will not fight over Ukraine.
The comments come after the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, asked the US to help Kyiv get more warplanes to fight Russia’s invasion and retain control of its airspace.
The US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, said Washington was looking at a proposal under which Poland would supply Kyiv with Soviet-era fighters and in turn receive American F-16s to make up for their loss.
Poland has been less than enthusiastic about the idea, at least publicly, largely because Russia has warned that supporting Ukraine’s air force would be seen in Moscow as participating in the war and could create a risk of retaliation.

Christo Grozev (from Bellingcat) showed this to a couple of his FSB contacts, and they think it could be one of their colleagues, so it might well be genuine.https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1500301348780199937.html
Translation of an FSB agent's understanding of the situation.
I considered deleting it, but I thought it more important to give the correct context to the views of someone who was in mainstream UK politics.In light of the forum moderators views on "extremist links," quoting someone who defended communism seems inappropriate. Would the forum let stand political analysis from an actual Nazi sympathizer? If not, why a communist sympathizer?I am not interested in the foreign policy views Jeremy Corbyn's former Executive Director of Strategy and Communications. They were bad then, and they only been shown to be worse now.Some more perspective, from 2014.
