Who would have guessed?
snipsnap from there:
I'm quite concerned that Moscow might hit back against our shadow fleetGerman Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, who was standing beside Dobrindt at a press conference in Berlin, said he would order the closure of the Russian consulate in Bonn, and the contract for the Russian House in Berlin will also be terminated - which many observers have said has been used for espionage and to spread Russian propaganda.
He also announced tighter entry controls for Russian nationals and vowed to increase pressure on Moscow's shadow fleet - old tankers used by Russia to circumvent Western sanctions following its invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
(...)
Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for Russia's foreign ministry, said Moscow would respond in a "mirror-image" fashion to Germany's measures.

snipsnapped from https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2...itary-bloggersRussian military bloggers have said Moscowโs forces have been forced to withdraw from positions near Lyman as Ukrainian troops counterattack, while accusing Russiaโs military command of concealing the true situation on the battlefield. The precise scale of Ukraineโs counteroffensive remains unclear.
Russian military bloggers have acknowledged that Ukrainian forces have gone on the counterattack around Lyman in eastern Ukraine, with some claiming that Russian troops have been forced to withdraw from forward positions as the situation for Moscow deteriorates.
One Russian military blogger said Ukrainian forces had been counterattacking in the area for months, while accusing Russiaโs military command of presenting an overly optimistic picture of the frontline.

In there's also a nice bit describing how "Russia winning" works these days:
On 1 September, Putin claimed that Russian forces controlled Sviatohirsk, a town about 15 kilometres north-west of Lyman in the Donetsk region.
Russiaโs Defence Ministry subsequently claimed the town had been captured, but provided no credible evidence.
Six days later, Brigadier General Andrii Biletskyi, commander of Ukraineโs Third Army Corps, published a video of himself in central Sviatohirsk, demonstrating that the town remained under Ukrainian control.
