This is a step up from the telephone scams I get about loft insulation!
No idea what BBC Verify thinks, rather strange but could be very real....there are always a few thousand desperate people out there.
You're on fire tonight Ray.

I saw something about a pensioner setting fire to an ATM in a bank in St. Petersburg yesterday. Maybe the same thing.

Signs. If it's going to happen, then why not now? I was thinking it might be mid 2025, but I always was a bit behind the curve.

Cold winter. High fuel prices.

As said yesterday, Russia (especially the heavily populated western bit) is enduring a colder than average winter by around 10 degrees. To put that in context, in the UK we’d be averaging about -3 to -5 as a maximum temperature for several weeks in similar circumstances right now, and obviously much colder at night. Winter 1947 territory.

Yep, indeed, at some point the future becomes the present.
I was indeed also on fire for a short spell, but the meds have worn off now.💤

Somehow Ukraine needs to hit these as soon as they cross into Ruzzia. It's a bit far though...

The Pont L'Amitie bridge just to the east of that railway line picture in the tweet looks a nice juicy target - seems to be the only crossing over the Tumen river between Russia and NK

Is there a Russian flagged ship that is actually seaworthy?

Here's the cargo ship sent to evacuate Russian equipment and troops from Syria, broken down and drifting in the Med between Spain and Algeria:
