This is lovely read by @AndreiSoldatov @irinaborogan about a vanished Moscow, and friendships driven apart by politics. Highly recommended

“Maybe I want to go for a little walk, I have 20 minutes and it’s good for my health? No. It’s a very bad idea, OK? Best to sit in your trench and watch Instagram.” @charles_clover & @fabrice_deprez on Russia’s elite drone unit hunting Ukrainian UAV pilots https://t.co/LFzx0tckY2
