20 days in Mariupol Film — MSTYSLAV CHERNOV  Ukrainian journalist Mstyslav Chernov and his colleagues risk their lives to document Russia's siege of Mariupol in this FRONTLINE/AP documentary. The Guardian calls it "a brave, visceral, merciless masterpiece.” The New York Times says, “Essential. A relentless and truly important documentary.” This journalism is made possible by viewers like you.

The last international journalists remaining in the city as Russian forces close in, Chernov, photographer Evgeniy Maloletka and field producer Vasilisa Stepanenko capture what become some of the most defining images of the war: dying children, mass graves, the bombing of a maternity hospital, and more. “20 Days in Mariupol” draws on Chernov’s daily news dispatches and personal footage of his own country at war. The result is a raw and haunting account of a journalist risking his life to share the truth of the conflict with the world.

Who Killed Yevgeny Prigozhin? From the moment Wagner Group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin launched his June mutiny against the Russian general staff (and indirectly against President Vladimir Putin himself), there has been intense interest in Putin’s response. Two months later, with Prigozhin’s reported death in a plane crash north of Moscow, it seems there is an answer: the boss of the Kremlin has taken his revenge. Or has he? As more information about the event emerges and Russian authorities conduct an investigation, competing explanations are sure to surface: that the crash was an accident; that Prigozhin was targeted by one or more of his many enemies; that Putin’s advisors organized the killing but were not instructed by him to do so; and finally, of course, that Putin ordered the hit. None of these views will rest on real proof, but all of them shed light on how the system Putin oversees is changing. 1. An Accident? The probe into Prigozhin’s crash is extremely likely to find it an accident of some kind. However, politically charged investigations in Russia (such as this one) lack transparency in the best of circumstances. An official report will likely rely on various pieces of information to deflect suspicion from the Kremlin, such as the fact that the plane’s Brazilian manufacturer said it had ceased servicing the aircraft because of sanctions on Russia; that the Wagner leadership team had just returned from an exhausting trip to Africa to shore up ties with its clients there; that air defense units around Moscow were on high alert because of Ukrainian drone attacks. Yet even Russians who believe this version of events will also be reminded of how much Putin has destabilized the country. 2. Targeted by His Enemies? For years, Putin’s favor helped shield Prigozhin as he aggressively acquired wealth and power. With that protection removed by the mutiny, rivals may have felt more freedom to settle scores. These include competitors from the business world (Prigozhin grew rich from contracts with the government that others surely envied), and prominent figures at the highest level of the Russian government itself, including senior generals of the ministry of defense. If it turns out that the plane was brought down by air defense units, the Moscow high command will come under greater suspicion. Could they have acted on their own? Quite possibly. Russians know that the system of power that Putin oversees these days expressly allows for the advancement of narrow institutional interests. (As Tatiana Stanovaya, one of the best analysts of Russian politics, wrote recently in Foreign Affairs, senior people in the system have “started to learn to operate more independently of Putin.”) 3. The Staff Did It? U.S. President Joe Biden has observed that not much happens in Russia that Putin does not want. Yet some Russians will give this reading of Prigozhin’s death a different spin. Doing what the boss wants without asking him explicitly is a centuries-old tradition among high-level courtiers, and it is hardly restricted to Russia. (The phrase “plausible deniability” has Washington origins.) The idea that Kremlin advisors took the initiative against Prigozhin will be strengthened by the way that Putin’s managerial style has unfolded in recent years. He is now widely seen as more aloof, detached, and indecisive than in the past. That Putin’s circle acted on his preferences, but not necessarily on his orders, will seem especially persuasive to those alarmed by Kremlin dysfunction—and by the near-limitless freedom of action it gives the security services. 4. An Order Straight From the Top? It will not be hard to come up with examples of Putin’s vindictiveness toward those he regards as traitors: it is a long list, and he explicitly labeled Prigozhin a traitor in the immediate aftermath of the June mutiny. Add to this a widespread perception that Putin showed weakness in his initial handling of the revolt, and it is easy to argue that he relished and then seized on the opportunity for a conspicuous, even dramatic show of force.

A threat to the Civilized World - Satã-2: Russian missile that can reach any point on the planet carrying nuclear warheads Russia announced on Friday (1st) that the RS-28 Sarmat missile, better known as Satã-2, is finalized and ready to be fired. State-of-the-art weaponry can hit targets anywhere on the planet. With a full fuel load, the missile can travel up to 18,000 kilometers before exploding at the designated location. “The Sarmat missile is capable of hitting targets at virtually unlimited distances,” Dmitry Rogozin, director general of Roscosmos, the Russian space agency, told the Tass news office. The Satã-2 is considered the most powerful missile in the Russian arsenal not only for its ability to cross continents and oceans, but also for carrying 10 tons of explosives or up to 15 nuclear warheads. "This is a much more powerful missile than other strategic weapons, including the Minuteman-III missile, which is in US service, both in terms of its global range and the power of the warheads that can be delivered to an aggressor's territory." , said Rogozin in an interview with Rossiya 24 TV channel earlier this year. The new Russian armament has impressive dimensions. Its more than 200 tons are spread over 35 meters in length and 3 meters in diameter. In April 2022, weeks after Russia's invasion of Ukraine began, President Vladimir Putin announced a successful test with Satan-2. At the time, the Russian leader celebrated the result and stated that the new missile would "reliably guarantee Russia's security against external threats", in a context in which Putin feared the advance of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) to Eastern Europe. Satana has a rather serious warhead weight - more than 8 tons. The maximum distance that the missile can travel is up to 16 thousand km, that is, it can hit the US coast. Satan is really difficult to intercept, the United States had some problems with this, because the missile flies at high speed. And the height of the rocket's flight created interception problems. But it was during the Soviet era! - says Kovalenko. @
