Germany deplores weak impact of Russia sanctions​


German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock expressed disappointment that Western sanctions against Russia over the war in Ukraine were not having an "economic impact".

The United States and the European Union have levied unprecedented sanctions against Moscow to limit Russia's ability to finance its war effort. But while the pressure has held, the Russian economy has not collapsed under the weight of sanctions, as had been predicted in some quarters.

"Economic sanctions should have an economic impact. But that is not the case," Baerbock told journalist Stephen Lamby in an interview for his new book "Emergency" published Thursday.

Died at the hands of Russian traitors': How Wagner channels are reacting to the jet crash​


By Olive Enokido-Lineham, OSINT producer
While the details surrounding Yevgeny Prigozhin's fate remain murky, Wagner-affiliated Telegram channels say the group's leader "died at the hands of Russian traitors".

The mercenary group's affiliated account, Grey Zone, began posting about the Embraer crash at around 7.49pm Moscow time yesterday, but added that information was "being specified".

The account then warned that while some reports claimed Prigozhin was dead, "no one other than those who would have personally seen Yevgeny Prigozhin and Dmitry Utkin board the plane knows anything. This is neither to deny nor to confirm the fate of Yevgeny Prigozhin and Dmitry Utkin, just saying."

However at 9.31pm Moscow time, the group pronounced the Wagner leader dead and said the "hero of Russia and a true patriot of his motherland" died "at the hands of Russia's traitors".

The group also paid tribute to Prigozhin's right-hand man Utkin, who reportedly died as they hailed him a "hero".

'We remain active'
Meanwhile, Wagner staff have also said they have "no words to describe the loss" of their commander and spoke about the future of the group.

"But we haven't lost them. We have other commanders whom we must and are bound to obey.

We remain active, according to our Wagner PMC internal charter.

We mourn what happened. Let's stick together," one person said in a video posted privately on a Wagner channel on Telegram.

Another added the group are "awaiting" orders from senior commanders on what to do next and said: "We have nothing to say now."

Other Wagner channels have also described the scale of the reported loss of Prigozhin and said Russia has "lost its military elite".

"If confirmed, Russia has lost its military elite... These are neither the first losses nor the last," the post said.

Prigozhin has been a vocal critic of Russia's military elite and their efforts in Ukraine, and repeatedly called out defence minister Sergei Shoigu and head of the general forces Valery Gerasimov.

==========================

Putin ni mafia hasa,amempokonya Prighozhin kundi la Wagner na uhai wake.

Hilo ni onyo kwa watakaojaribu kumyumbisha Putin siku zijazo.

Russia is a pariah and mafia state
