Though it wouldn't surprise me, I don't see any reputable source for this. In any case Warner Bros stopped screening movies in 2022.
According to Kino, Barbie topped the unofficial Russian box office over the weekend. Ever since Western companies pulled out, Russian cinemas simply screen pirate copies of the movie, 100% of the money stays in Russia.

Interesting interview with Bertie Ahern last year, he talks about Putin.
Bertie was corrupt as fcuk, but he definitely had a skill for the international stuff and finger on the pulse at times.
However, he definitely should not be our next President.
Another one bites the dust
Great stuff- another one bites the dust.
Was watching an interesting video at the weekend explaining how much experience Russia loses each time a senior officer dies. It takes YEARS to train a senior officer/gain the knowledge & experience required. These guys are not easily replaced.
Any square meter of territory taken from the Russians is a positive, but it's hard to get too excited about tiny villages like this. I'm more interested in what Ukraine is doing to hit Russian supply lines and hopefully starve their front line forces of ammo and so on.
All I can say on Bakhmut at this stage is that I hope it remains a strategically-useful point on the map, if only in terms of drawing Russian forces into a kill zone.
Onions now instead of a Lada
What a depressing miserable shithole.
How are they all so fat if they are leaving off of sacks of onions ?
Wait 'till we get to the end of August - 2 spuds and a raspberry.
Lol
Deep fried or something..
Why Ukrainian Tanks Run on Russian Oil:
"The tanks from the Ukraine are increasingly running on oil that comes from Russia . Ukraine is importing more and more diesel from Hungary and Turkey, both of which use oil from Russia in their refineries , according to the Ukrainian Customs Service."
"Although the market position of the Hungarian MOL Group and the Turkish suppliers in Ukraine was relatively good in the past, Ukrainian customs authorities only recently reported a noticeable increase in imports. The mineral oil company MOL, which is closely linked to the Hungarian state, doubled its sales to the Ukraine in the past six months."
"Since MOL sources a large proportion of Russian oil, Ukraine's war machine should now be primarily fueled with it. At the same time, companies that do not source their raw materials from Russia are losing market share in Ukraine. Because MOL has a competitive advantage over other European oil companies. The Hungarian group has a special permit from the European Union to continue supplying its refineries with Russian oil."
lol :)
The equivalent weight of onions would cost what in Tesco, €20?
That's lunch, dinner and dessert sorted.
I remember in Damascus in Syria, bombs, bombing and gunfire were an everyday and night occurrence. Go into any coffee /. Shisha house and you would find people, men and women sitting around tables reading the papers, on the internet or playing chess, over a Shisha pipe or a coffee. Then a bomb would fall, the coffee in the cups would rattle, and some times the vibrations would be felt in the building itself. People would stop briefly to see was it dangerous or not, then they would shake their heads in annoyance at the interruption, and continue on.
Onions or nothing.......just the handshake. Butat least they know he's dead, which is more than a lot of them don't know. And it works out much cheaper for Putin as well.
Good news but more needed
Reports a KA-52 downed this morning in the east and all the crew members died.
I guess you could argue that the Onions are more useful than a Lada. (Or whatever self-propelled rust transporter is currently described as a Lada)
At least you can put onions in the larder.
Proper breakthrough being reported in the Bahkmut being reported by some on twitter. Hopefully something comes of it and it's true.
Once you leave Moscow and St. Petersburg, this is what you get a lot of in the rural areas. When you get Putins mafia at the too bleeding the Country dry, hard to expect anything else. It also explains how and where they get their cannon fodder.
More success
He just posts propaganda. Full on Vatnik.
This could lead to a complete encirclement.
Russians will either have to commit a much larger force or retreat.
They definitely had a successful advance towards Cherneschchyna. Havent heard anything since, so I'm presuming they were either pushed back or destroyed.
Traffic halted at Kerch again LOL.
They'll definitely commit a much larger force but that's a good thing.
Mobilisation Round Two?
