But a study published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal PNAS suggested that there’s
1:50
a method to how each country displays its losses.
1:53
On average, Ukraine reports nearly double the number of actual Russian deaths, but doesn't
1:58
have a bias towards reporting their own deaths.
2:00
This is possibly in an attempt to gather support from the countries sympathetic to Ukraine’s
2:05
cause, such as members of the EU and NATO that are supplying Ukraine with military aid.
2:10
On the other hand, Russia severely underreports deaths of their own soldiers, at a rate of
2:15
roughly 0.3 per 1 actual death.
2:18
Any figure from Russia, therefore, should be nearly tripled to get a value that’s
2:22
close to correct.
2:23
Additionally, the Russian media reports Ukrainian deaths at a ratio of a staggering 4.3 to 1,
2:29
meaning that Russians are led to believe that more than four times as many Ukrainians have
2:33
died than they have in reality.

[Korrespondent] 23:08 The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry categorically rejected the accusations that began to be heard from Russian officials of Ukraine’s alleged involvement in the shooting at the Crocus concert hall in Krasnogorsk near Moscow. “We consider such accusations to be a planned provocation by the Kremlin in order to further whip up anti-Ukrainian hysteria in Russian society, create conditions for strengthening the mobilization of Russian citizens to participate in criminal aggression against our state and discredit Ukraine in the eyes of the international community,” the statement said.
22:50 In Zaporozhye, as a result of night rocket attacks, the number of victims increased to 29, including two children, the State Emergency Service reported.
22:12 The GUR stated that the terrorist attack in Moscow is a “planned and conscious provocation of the Russian special services at the direction of Putin,” the purpose of which is to justify even harsher attacks on Ukraine and total mobilization in Russia. “The public execution of people in Moscow should be understood as Putin’s threat to an even greater escalation and expansion of the war. Peskov’s statement about “war”, made shortly before the terrorist attack, is just a false start of a carefully planned Kremlin special operation,” the GUR emphasized.
Intelligence believes that the Kremlin may blame Kyiv for organizing the terrorist attack and use the execution of its citizens as a pretext for even more brutal attacks on the civilian infrastructure of Ukraine. “The unimpeded movement of a group of militants with machine guns in the center of Moscow, as well as a lot of other unconditional evidence, indicate that the shooting at Crocus City Hall was organized by Russian special services. International embassies also warned about the preparation of a terrorist attack,” the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense added.
21:34 In the Moscow region, a terrorist attack occurred in Crocus City Hall before the start of a concert by the Picnic group: several armed men in camouflage opened fire and began throwing incendiary bombs. As a result of the terrorist attack, according to preliminary data, about 40 people were killed and about 100 more were injured. A large fire broke out.
Some Russian public pages accused the Ukrainians; Medvedev also admitted the involvement of the “Kyiv regime.” GUR representative Andrei Yusov said in a commentary to the UP that the terrorist attack in the Moscow region is a deliberate provocation of the Putin regime, which the international community warned about. “The Kremlin tyrant began his career with this and wants to end it with the same crimes against his own citizens,” he said. Earlier, on March 8, the US Embassy in Russia and the British Foreign Office warned of possible terrorist attacks in Moscow on the eve of the presidential elections.
Advisor to the head of the OP Mikhail Podolyak said that Ukraine was not involved in the terrorist attack. The White House said there was "no indication that Ukraine or Ukrainians were involved in the shooting." White House National Security Council Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby stressed that “at this early stage I would not advise looking for any connection with Ukraine.” Meanwhile, the Russian Freedom Legion also stated that this terrorist attack was organized by the Putin regime. “We have already encountered similar manifestations of the Kremlin dictatorship since Putin’s first days in power and are not surprised by another bloody provocation,” said the Legion fighters.

[REGNUM] About nine thousand children are being evacuated from the Belgorod region due to shelling, the regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said on Thursday, March 20. First of all, children will leave from Belgorod, the Belgorod and Grayvoronsky districts, as well as from the Shebekinsky district.
On Friday, March 22, 1,200 children are sent to Tambov, Kaluga and Penza. This will be followed by flights to the Stavropol Territory and Dagestan. The evacuation mechanism, Gladkov noted, has already been built.
The authorities made the decision to take the children out due to incessant shelling. From March 11 to March 17, 16 civilians were killed and 98 were injured in the Belgorod region. Another 5 people died on March 18, including a 17-year-old teenager.
It is planned that the children will stay in other regions for three weeks. But if necessary, the period can be extended until the end of the academic year.
About 500 children will go to Dagestan. There is no exact date of arrival yet, but the region is already preparing, Marina Ezhova, Commissioner for Children’s Rights of Dagestan, told IA Regnum.
The republic is ready to accept both children and older children. The age and characteristics of the children will be taken into account, says Ezhova: the school year is ongoing, so the trip should include not only rest, but also continued education.
This is not the first experience for Dagestan. The republic was previously visited by children from new regions of Russia and Palestinian refugees. The work scheme is well established, there is a list of “children’s locations” where the children feel as comfortable as possible.
“We are ready to receive the guys. Now everything depends on the Belgorod side. If they say tomorrow, we’ll accept it tomorrow,” notes Yezhova.
They place children in children's camps, sports and music boarding schools. But not only.
“We had a group of children with some disabilities. Naturally, they went to special sanatoriums under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Health,” said the Commissioner for Children’s Rights of Dagestan.
Local residents are also ready to welcome children. Three years ago, the community “Community of Donbass” appealed to the regional authorities with a request to place children not in camps and boarding schools, but in families. This is how the “Hello Russia” project started.
“Older children came from new territories and lived with families for two weeks - from Derbent to Gorny Khunzakh. The boys dressed up in national costumes, the girls learned to cook Dagestan dishes. And if there is a good horseman, then you can get married,” Marina Ezhova laughs.
Any guest will be able to feel like a truly local - ride a horse, wear a burka.
In general, immersion in culture and familiarity with the traditions of the republic is a mandatory part of the program. And Dagestan has something to show and please: beautiful nature, hospitable people, tasty and satisfying food.
For Dagestanis, the arrival of guests is a reason to celebrate. Especially when there is an opportunity to help.
“Children should feel like ordinary, normal, happy kids who came to relax and have fun. These are our kids. It doesn’t matter where they are from: Russia, Syria or Palestine, these are children,” emphasizes Marina Ezhova.
She adds that I really want the trip to remain in the children’s memory as a bright, interesting adventure, and not as a forced temporary relocation.

Ukraine has no air defenses.
As I understand it, in response to Russian glide bomb attacks, the Ukrainian air defense systems were moved to cover the line of combat where they have had some successes. Unfortunately, this leaves the rear areas undefended.

No mention of "At least 40 people have been killed and more than 100 injured in a “terrorist attack” at the Crocus City Hall shopping mall and concert complex, northwest of Moscow". Ukrainian way under the guidance of the west and might even been special forces of NATO.

^ Baza - with close law enforcement contacts - showed images of four suspects, all from ex-Soviet republic Tajikistan, which borders Afghanistan.
They were Makhmadrasul Nasridinov, 37, Rivozhidin Ismonov, 51, Shohinjonn Safolzoda, 21 and Rustam Nazarov, 29.
It is unclear which of these four have been detained.
Russian FSB security service officers were 'working with' the suspects who were detained. 'They are being checked for involvement in the terrorist attack,' reported Baza.
Telegram channel VChK-OGPU said earlier that one detainee from Tajikistan had named three others who he was with in a car.
'These are also natives of Tajikistan. They managed to hide in the forest.

[Regnum] On March 22, the Bank of Russia left the key rate at 16% per annum for the second time in a row. This is stated in the corresponding statement of the regulator.
“The Board of Directors of the Bank of Russia decided to maintain the key rate at 16.00% per annum,” the Central Bank reported.
Since July 2023, the Central Bank, in order to counter inflation, has been raising the key rate - first by 1 percentage point, later, against the backdrop of the falling exchange rate of the ruble - by 3.5 percentage points. In the fall, the Central Bank added three more points, and in December - one more, bringing the figure to 16%. In February 2024, for the first time since June, the rate was kept unchanged.
As Regnum reported, in February the Central Bank reported that the current inflation pressure at that time had decreased, although it remained high, and domestic demand continued to significantly outstrip the possibilities for expanding the production of goods and services, so it is premature to draw conclusions about the sustainability of inflation reduction trends. At the same time, Russian President Vladimir Putin, at a meeting on supporting investment projects in domestic industry, called the Central Bank rate increase a temporary measure.
[Jpost] The new International Criminal Court (ICC) president, Tomoko Akane, from Japan, expressed her belief that Russian President Vladimir Putin will face justice for war crimes committed by Russia in Ukraine, the Japanese newspaper Mainichi Shimbun reported on Wednesday, citing an interview the ICC judge gave to Kyodo News.
"Heaven’s vengeance is slow but sure," Akane reportedly said of Putin potentially standing trial.
The ICC announced 67-year-old Akane as the newly elected ICC president earlier this month, who will serve from 2024 to 2027. Akane was elected alongside ICC First Vice-President Judge Rosario Salvatore Aitala, from Italy, and ICC Second Vice-President Judge Reine Alapini-Gansau from Benin.
The article acknowledged the unlikelihood of Russia handing over Putin but said that the Russian president could be arrested if he entered any ICC states. I'm sure Vlad is shaking

To me there's no difference between ICC (or ICJ) issuing a ruling against Putin and ISIS issuing a fatwa. In both cases the perps should be eliminated.

[Regnum] What Western countries did to Yugoslavia in 1999 is unacceptable, since they actually started a war in the center of Europe. Russian President Vladimir Putin stated thisin the documentary film “Belgrade” on the Rossiya-1 TV channel.
“What the West did is completely unacceptable. They started the war directly, in fact, in the center of Europe,” the head of state said.
The TV channel only showed the announcement of a film dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the events in Yugoslavia. It will be shown in full on March 24.
As Regnum reported, the head of the National Research Center "Kurchatov Institute" Mikhail Kovalchuk said on November 28, 2023 that the West hates Russia and Putin personally, who broke his strategy of dismembering the country to seize its natural resources. According to the expert, Western countries have already completely divided Russia and its resources, as they did with Yugoslavia.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in May 2023 that the West is cynically trying to blame Russia for violating international law, which it trampled on in Yugoslavia, Iraq and Libya. The Foreign Minister recalled that the West launched aggressive wars against these countries.
NATO launched an operation against Yugoslavia on March 24, 1999, under the pretext of preventing the supposedly possible “genocide” of the Albanian population in Kosovo. During this time, 3,000 cruise missiles were fired across the country and about 80,000 tons of bombs were dropped, including cluster bombs and depleted uranium bombs.
According to the Serbian side, between 3,500 and 4,000 people died as a result, two thirds of whom were civilians. After the bombing of Serbia with depleted uranium ammunition, about 30 thousand people fell ill with cancer in the country, of whom 10,000 to 18,000 died.
