The Strange Death of Denys Kiryeyev: Hours before Russia first sent troops into Ukraine, Mr. Kiryeyev warned of Moscow’s plan to capture Kyiv. Days later, he was killed by security agents.
> “If it were not for Mr. Kiryeyev, most likely Kyiv would have been taken,” the general said.
He used his Russian connections to save Kyiv. He wanted to negotiate an early end to the war. Then the SBU summarily executed him claiming he was a Russian spy.
Sounds like a coup might be incoming.
The only person who said 3 days was some random US general, why are y'all using it as some sort of gotcha?
Type: Statutory corporation with a royal charter
A statutory corporation is a government entity created as a statutory body by statute.
It doesn't matter what language you try to couch it in, "state funded", "editorial independence", whatever. It was founded by the state, is funded by the state, and is a government entity. If it quacks like a duck.

and reliable reporting as you can get outside the BBC
"Russian state owned media bad. British state owned media good."
I guess you’re just assuming it’s bad based on its name
No, we know it's bad because it's literally run by the US government.
You probably weren’t even alive under communism. Or if you were you were a child.
Putin isn’t a Nazi, Prigozhen is.
And even if it was Nazi vs Nazi, you shouldn’t be rooting for either side.
You can't just declare a megathread.
But we have no idea what troops those are. Also they're pointing their guns at nothing, like they're trying to look like they're doing something when they really aren't.

Besides your IDE of choice screaming at you that you are mixing tabs and spaces that is
JetBrains IDEs actually have it built in, it's called "smart tabs".
if you change tab with then your space alignment breaks
No, it doesn't? Here's the exact same text content with different tab widths:
The tabs are smaller but the spaces are the same, so the alignment remains.
Imagine not having an IDE that automatically fixes the spacing of pasted text.
But with tabs each contributor is free to choose how the indent looks. If it looks horrible on some system, that’s a configuration issue.
That’s horrible.
Tabs make more sense because that’s exactly what they’re for, indents. Ignoring how it looks, which makes more semantic sense for an indent, <indent character> or <space character><space character>? You wouldn’t use a bunch of spaces to indent a paragraph, so why would you use it to indent code?
Generally aligning stuff isn’t nice. But if you do, it’s tabs up to whatever level of indentation you’re at then spaces the rest of the way. So you wouldn’t have to assume a tab size. And the tabs and spaces have different semantic meaning (indent vs alignment) so mixing them makes sense. It's even built into Jetbrains IDEs, where it's called "Smart Tabs".
Although really just adding a level of indent is better than aligning.
You're supporting US foreign policy by repeating pro-NATO talking points.
I also have another colleague from Ukraine who left in 2014… Guess why
The US backed coup led by militant fascists? The new government's violent response to people of the Donbass wanting to secede?
Do you purposefully include "their neighbor" because you know your statements would apply the the US invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan otherwise? Is invading a neighboring country somehow worse than invading one on the other side of the world?
