🇷🇺🇺🇦❌🇷🇺— Khodorkovsky-affiliated "National Republican Army" and the Free Russian Legion (LSR/FRL) claims to have aided the Ukrainian Intelligence in today's raid on Russian Air Bases
The work of the underground may seem inconspicuous, quiet, rare. But this is the whole point of resistance - it is impossible to achieve results by shouting about your plans at the top of your voice when the regime of terror and repression is breathing down your neck, so many actions that have been carried out remain private.
Today's attack on military airfields, and the entire operation that was carried out, showed that Putin and his pocket army are unable to control everything and everyone.
What was considered "the military might of the Russian army in the sky" is now smoldering, including due to the selfless work of the participants in the anti-Putin movement - those who took direct part in the operation and those who have been fighting for a long time:
Providing information, intelligence, pasting up leaflets, painting graffiti and destroying military infrastructure.
This is the merit of each participant in the resistance, who all these years stood and will stand their ground - a Russia free from Putinism.
This regime, this dictatorship, these special services are weakened and suppressed by internal squabbles.
They can and must be defeated.

🇻🇦✝️ Pope invites Anabaptists and Catholics to have ‘courage to love’
Mennonites have gathered in Zurich, Switzerland, to commemorate 500 years since the foundation of the Anabaptist movement, a Protestant Christian denomination that originated in Friesland in the 16th century.
Pope Leo XIV sent a message to participants in the commemoration on Thursday, recalling the Risen Jesus’ first words: “Peace be with you!”
The Pope noted that the event takes place in the Easter season, and highlighted the Anabaptist movement’s founding desire for radical newness and renewal.
“The motto chosen for your celebration, ‘The Courage to Love,’ reminds us, above all, of the need for Catholics and Mennonites to make every effort to live out the commandment of love, the call to Christian unity, and the mandate to serve others,” he said.

🇷🇺🇸🇾🇸🇾❌🇷🇺-Reports indicate that certain groups in Chechnya have begun removing the Christian crosses from the crowns of the two-headed eagle — a key element of the Russian national symbol.
➡️This development is being viewed by observers as a concerning sign of rising Islamic radicalism in the region.
➡️It also echoes earlier incidents, including Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov’s controversial recognition of Abu Mohammad al-Julani — the HTS leader and former Al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria.
➡️The symbolic alteration may reflect deeper ideological shifts underway in the North Caucasus.

🇺🇸👮🪖❗️ — Today the FBI and the Justice Department announced the arrest of Nathan Vilas Laatsch, a 28 year old Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) employee for attempting to transmit classified information to a friendly foreign government.
➡️ Laatsch, who held a
TS/SCI clearance, said that he had “completed intelligence products, some unprocessed intelligence, and other assorted classified documentation” that he wanted to send.
➡️ He said his reasoning for the decision was because he did not align with the current Trump administration’s policies.
➡️ The FBI was subsequently tipped off and made contact with Laatsch under the guise of the aforementioned foreign government.
➡️ Laatsch would end up transcribing and smuggling out classified products on 2 occasions to who he thought was an official of the friendly foreign government, and was arrested today after the second exchange.
