TGHusker Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Another one bites the dust. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/russian-journalist-found-dead-after-vowing-to-expose-gigantic-corruption/ar-AA1mHEhB?ocid=entnewsntp&pc=DCTS&cvid=43ce5cc050804057bb9873a6954fee4e&ei=35 Quote A Russian journalist who threatened to reveal large-scale corruption by Putin’s forces in occupied Ukraine has been found dead. Alexander Rybin, 39, worked for a number of pro-Kremlin media outlets but also contributed to left-wing anti-war website Rabkor. His body was found on Sunday near a motorway near Shakhty, a city in southeastern Russia near the border with Ukraine. The previous week he had been reporting from Mariupol, a Ukrainian city which has become a key stronghold for Russian forces since they seized control of the country’s easternmost regions 18 months ago. Speaking to a live broadcast on Rabkor, he said: ‘There is gigantic money here, there are gigantic opportunities for corruption. My personal impression – I’m not accusing anybody of anything… is that there is a gigantic corruption going on in Mariupol, which the Russian army occupied with heavy fighting in spring 2022.’ Mr Rybin vowed to tell more details of what he had uncovered in another Rabkor broadcast when he returned to Moscow – but he never made it.

Dr. Strangelove Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 1 hour ago, Decked said: Gotcha . I just am very cautious of believing anyone with a Ukrainian/Russian flag about anything. As you should be! Unfortunately, the war despite what either side says is probably going to end up as a stalemate. A pyrrhic victory for Russia in which they've gained a small amount of territory they didn't already control, lost hundreds of thousands of lives and suffered a complete strategic defeat with NATO expansion on their borders and a showcase of their military ineffectiveness. They want to eventually reclaim all lost Soviet territory, so in the long term their goal is to destabilize NATO and eventually attack Baltic states, although those plans have more been set back decades. 1 Link to comment
