So I can't read Russian so I can't confirm, but apparently in the video report of the 'nazi' arrest it shows a note one of them wrote. It supposedly reads:
Tim thank you for your invaluable help in those tiring times. Kill to live, live to kill. Signature unreadable. NS/WP crew.
As in...literally. It's signed 'Signature unreadable'.
Can you share a link? I mean, I can check what is written and where

So basically somebody filled out a form and the person who did the work took the entry literally instead of instructively.
It would be funny if this wasn't apparently the entire government of a nuclear armed nation.

The Ukrainian passports on these "agents" is what gets me. I mean I just can't get past it. It so obviously screams "fake setup false flag" that it hurts.
What possible use could anybody have for a Ukrainian passport inside Russia at the moment? Its kind of like having a yarmulka in Nazi Germany during WW2. Sure the Allies like you, but hey you are not in allied territory.
Its so stupid its embarrassing.
Even if its for domestic consumption. I think less of the Russian people that believe this shit.
Also, even if Ukraine started indiscriminately lobbing cluster munitions at local Russian cities and towns, unless they actually counterinvade Russia and start rounding up civilians I genuinely care enough to say, "Now now Ukraine, lets focus on killing Russian soldiers instead"
Russia invaded Ukraine for no reason. They don't get to be upset even if their citizens ARE killed by Ukrainian fire. Stop fucking invading your neighbors. The individual citizens can be terrified, sure, and they deserve better and Ukraine shouldn't engage in these sort of attacks. But that's because they don't work, if Ukraine could hit Moscow with a few missiles and the war would end immediately I'd tell them to launch asap. Russia is killing 100s, if not 1000s, of Ukrainian civilians a day.
Every death, on both sides, civilian or military is entirely the responsibility of the Russian government until Russia falls back over the border.
The military parade rehearsal dedicated to the celebration of May 9 victory day in Moscow takes place without heavy military equipment.
That's weird. Why is that?
Probably more of a fuel issue than anything. They love to break the T-14s out for parades but haven't sent/lost any to Ukraine yet. Which probably means they aren't really combat capable.
Russia currently has a dozen or T-14s, and several of those are probably testbed types.
They were planning to start producing them in numbers this spring or summer, but that was before the bulk of their tech industry took a crowbar to the shins after the invasion. I doubt they'll be turning any of the Armata platform vehicles out this year, and maybe not next year either.
Yeah, I've seen it, checked the comments, one actually was defending the "Signature unreadable" as contact obviously was cautious of leaving identifying information so decided to joke a bit instead of signing.
Also 5:30 mark - Nazi stuff apparently includes The Sims 3 - an obvious choice for Nazi past time, I mean video games are bad, right
Guardian is reporting that both Finland and Sweden have both decided to submit NATO applications. I knew it was very likely but seeing it happen is a real "holy shit" moment. This is a seismic change in the security of Europe, a real historic moment.
If there was ever a doubt that this invasion was an absolutely collosal geopolitical mistake on Russia's part there isn't now. Nothing they could possibly achieve in Ukraine will make up for this historic blunder. Russia hasn't been this weak since they were getting their asses kicked by Vikings.
The fun part will be seeing whether the Republicans are willing to veto her appointment, since they've spent most of the last two years trying to keep the American diplomatic corps largely decapitated..

I'm assuming someone's instructions read 'show 3 SIM cards' and it went about as well as most current Russian operations.

There's also nothing a T-14 or any of the Armata platforms can do in Ukraine except cost more when they die.

I was thinking he needed to nominate somebody boring who would hire Marie Yovanovitch as their subordinate and then resign.

I'm pretty sure if Russia sent Armatas into Ukraine, the Ukrainians would go out of their way to capture a working model to send back to the U.S.
Then we'd take it apart and find out that it is actually a T-72 with cosplay foam padding.

I think you're right, this along with "signature unreadable" has to be trolling/malicious compliance rather than incompetence. 'SIMs: 3' if the Russian military uses the same way of doing lists as the UK (and probably other western militaries) does. So they covered both bases by getting SIMs3 and two stand alone expansions.

Yeah, it ground to a halt a couple of weeks into the war because the sanctions cut off basically their supply of, well, everything. Armata stuff would be even more sensitive to disruptions in tech imports, so they're even more toast.

Well, they can also look nice sitting amongst the other trophy tanks the farmers have. So there’s that. Gotta let them complete their collection.

They.
They planted three copies of The Sims games.
At the place where they "found" the "nazi Ukrainian agents" planning to kill Solovyov.
Because they were told to plant SIM-cards. At the "hideout".
That’s what happens when most of your FSB officers are arrested for embezzling the money intended to bribe Ukrainians, or already rotting in a ditch near Kharkiv. You’re forced to send out the dregs.
The long and short of it is that Ukraine in many ways benefits from a longer war - as long as the West keeps giving them stuff to fight with. The Russian forces started with large material advantages, but they're not replacing their material losses and the West can supply Ukraine as much stuff as it feels like.

Getting not only Sims3 but 3 versions of it requires far too much creativity to have an idiot think that. This is what happens when you start purging your intelligence service.
Wondering what hey'd produce if they wanted to blame CIA. A ten-gallon Stetson, a copy of the constitution and a spittoon?
Also kind of reminds me of the McCarthyism era where they thought a communist spy would be physically unable to say the pledge of allegiance or their head would explode.

Well that is pretty much a given. 7 largest economies in the world are on their side, including the government with the largest defense budget. Spending pennies for big returns
The only thing stopping them was "Ukrainians need weapons now" and "The Ukrainians need weapons that they know how to maintain and use already". With a long war that goes away.
The sky was full of stars, every star an exploding ship. One of ours.

I have a bad feeling
according to twitter, the grenade launchers in the photo looks very much like a RPG-27/28 which is a russian grenade launcher that was not made available to Ukraine. So if this is a false flag it is not a very good one. Could be part of this alleged partisian activity going on but I don't see why that would be a target, but then Russian media have reported fires at an airbase near Vladivostok (about as far away from Ukraine as you get in Russia) so who knows.

I know if I was a deep cover agent I would definitely bring my incriminating books and photos along for the trip. Can’t be without them or I’d forget the plan.
You know... A lot of people have been complaining about the state of the Sims for the last two games, but I'd never thought it would be a tool of the Nazis....
