Russian interests spent about $182mln on lobbying and propaganda in the U.S. since 2016, according to OpenSecrets’ analysis of Foreign Agents Registration Act and Lobbying Disclosure Act data.
Foreign agents working for Russian state media outlets spent $34.8 million on propaganda targeting the U.S. in 2021 alone.
Companies whose interests align with Russia’s have spent heavily on lobbying around Nord Stream 2 pipeline project.
So, first Russia suffers losses from sanctions, then it gives away millions of dollars to those who impose these sanctions. Fair enough.

Mental state of Vladimir Putin is publicly questioned by a growing number of American officials who know him personally.
Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice: "I met with him many times, and this is a different Putin. He seems erratic”.
Former Director of National Intelligence Jim Clapper: "I personally think he’s unhinged. I worry about his acuity and balance".
Senior intelligence officials who have known Putin for decades told media that he has been isolated in a bunker for months interacting exclusively with a small group of advisers.
In all honesty, this looks like a bad dream. This war should be stopped as soon as possible in the interest of Russian people and Russian economy.
Do not support it. It will get worse for Russia day by day.

I am now finally a part of the Ukrainian foreign legion. From Finnish reservist Lt. to UA recruit. People from all over the world have come here to help to defend Ukraine. My bunkmates are Norwegian and American. There is still plenty of room for more! #Ukraine…

Таинственно исчезла мегаяхта Вагита Алекперова "Галактика". Скорее всего, был отключен транспондер AIS. Алекперов готов продать ее за 75 млн евро, но специалисты говорят, что красная цена ей только 69 млн. https://www.thedailybeast.com/russian-billionaire-vagit-alekperovs-superyacht-galactica-super-nova-mysteriously-vanishes
