One of his Lukoil’s refineries was hit by Ukrainian drones a couple days ago and now:
I'm a little confused. What's the logic in assassinating oil executives when Ukraine blows up their refineries?
Unclear but timing in uncanny. Perhaps he was tasked with protecting the refineries, or was not but someone had to take a ?literal fall, maybe he blamed the Kremlin for failure to protect the asset, etc…who knows.
He’s the 4th Lukoil senior executive to have died since Russia’s full scale invasion. In May 2022 Alexander Subbotin died of a “drug-induced heart attack”. Then chairman Rabil Maganov “fell” from a 6th-floor hospital window in September 2022. Last October Vladimir Nekrasov (his replacement) died of “acute heart failure”.

Further evidence refineries are bad for workers’ health.

Speculation, but this kind of "testament" definitely does not help:
Putin is just cleaning up loose ends.
Deranged psychopaths have long memories and a very great passion for retribution. Especially against people who were correct.

The discharge petition is live. We'll see if any Republicans have the courage to sign it.
Discharge Petition No. 9, Bill Number: H.Res. 1016, 118th Congress
SPONSOR: James P. McGovern DESCRIPTION: Pursuant to clause 2 of rule XV, I, James P. McGovern, move to discharge the Committee on Rules from the consideration of the resolution entitled, a resolution providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 5673) to advance responsible policies, which was...clerk.house.gov
more of a Democratic Party issue
Just basic math. Every Democrat in the House could sign this and it still wouldn't pass. Some Republican support is needed.

[...] Johnson suggested structuring the aid as a loan or lend-lease program so that “US taxpayers would not be providing billions without expectation of repayment,” The Hill reported, citing the senators who participated in the meeting.

Allegedly:

Don't know the original source, but doesn't seem implausible... The number for 2023 allegedly:
[RUSSIAN] OFFICIAL STATISTICS: The number of men with disabilities in russia increased by 500,000 or 30%.
Guess yourself why.

Great idea. Nato secure the home front and Ukraine take the front line. Russians go liberate homeland.

I am deeply skeptical. I think he's just playing games and trying to delay as much as possible.

Allegedly:
Russia: The fascist government is supplying polling places with pens with disappearing ink. Identified in Kursk and Rostov-on-Don so far. Voters are supposed to use these government-supplied pens when they vote.
