The rest of the photo needs to be shown of the room Papa Francis is in:

Warhammer 40k vibes...

There are jokes about "evil throne rooms" but I thought it would be funny to show here (you can see the edge of the sculpture behind him in your photo but the whole thing might be enlightening).
You've seen the wide shot of that auditorium, no?

According to a video interview with Separatist troops they've claimed the cechens are near useless and are just there to shoot at empty buildings and terrorize civilians
I mean, that's what Chechens do, so no surprise there. But they just seem to have so much damn fun doing it!

I haven't seen any other troops unload tens of thousands of rounds of ammo into likely-empty buildings while Allahu Ackbar'ing and cheering yet.


Also, people need to stop sperging out for either side in this retarded war. It's the Ukrainians backed by "Globohomo", literal Nazis, and corrupt politicians vs. Russia, run by an ex-KGB spook, unleashing crazy, murderous Jihadis as footsoldiers, and backed by corrupt politicians.

Neither of these sides are good. Both are nuking the other sides' civilians, killing PoWs, and generally commiting various war crimes.

All we can really do is watch and try not to take it to seriously.

At the very least, the mental image of a bunch of camo-wearing Gopniks gleefully digging trenches in the radiation-saturated
Chernobyl soil and likely saying shit like "Our opponents are fucking stupid! They don't even dig fortifications here!" cracks me up everytime.
 
I can't read or speak discount German. What's going on?
If we believe the translation, then something like this

In the Czech Republic, activists blocked traffic in the capital by unfurling posters in support of Ukraine. However, not all drivers liked it, some ran out of the cars and began to pull the participants off the road, later law enforcement officers joined the episode.

Activists want to force the government to lower the temperature in schools and offices, thereby reducing the country's dependence on gas from Russia.
 
"The commander of the "Georgian Legion" fighting for Ukraine, Mamuka Mamulashvili, says that his unit would not take Russian soldiers prisoner. These are the same guys that executed the Russian soldiers a few days ago. You won't see this on MSM"


 
"Donbass is littered with the corpses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Kyiv refuses to take the bodies"

Edit - It seems that Russia isn't using its infamous incinerator.
All images come from a vid that's at least from 2013. I did not see recent footage of it. For now I declare it bonkers.

Did they fucking send a private jet to recover it or something? I'm glad we have the priorities straight.
My guess is NATO coordinated the event and flew it directly there, or extracted it to Poland then flew it. It could even be a new flag made locally with artificial wear, because it doesn't really matter either way, its just symbolism.

Was it ever explained why Russia decided to use Z of all symbols?

They should've used a vowel, so it'd be funnier when people outlaw it. Maybe Y, and reverse psychology Ukraine into calling it Kiev. Better yet, the Russians should have painted rainbows on everything, to make that the new forbidden symbol of hate.

I think it's more that their vehicle markings just became iconic naturally and they just rolled with it, especially since it's the major visual difference between the sides beyond armband colors, I doubt the Russians ever expected cancel culture on a national & ethnic scale, and a letter becoming a jailable offense in EU.

Possible reason Z was used - Cyrillic alphabet doesn't have this particular letter, their Z looks different.
