Is Putin aware of that?
RE post #800
Agreed. It's hard to see Zelensky, who's Jewish, blithely allowing nazis to walk the highest halls of power in Ukraine. Again, that just beggars belief.
I'm under the impression that the Russian people are better informed generally than the folks in the DPRK. Do they have only approved sources of information or do they have access to international news? Do they know what's going on?

Expired rations are probably found in every military. The MREs I had in the Army were past due as well. So were the rations we had from the British when we were on a multi-week training excercise. They are stockpiled in huge amounts in warehouses for when they are needed, so they go past their dates. If you wait to buy them until you need them, you cause supply issues, and your troops starve.
Rations are so pasteurized and treated that they last for years and years past their date.
The dates are are recommendations only. Consider them "best used by" dates.
Damn, and Putin wants to play the Nazi card?

Colonel Oleksandr "Grey Wolf" Oksanchenko who was the Ukrainian Air Force Flanker display pilot between 2013-2018 has lost his life on Friday night when his jet was shot down over Kyiv by Russian S-400 Triumph Air Defence Missile System.
Col. Oksanchenko, considered one of the world's best display pilots, posthumously awarded the title of "Hero of Ukraine" by President Zelensky.
Col. Oksanchenko was not only a very experienced pilot who won a number of awards for the best flying display at many events across Europe, but he was also a true fan of airshows.
Despite leaving the active service and joining the reserves in late 2018 he volunteered to remain in the Ukrainian Flanker Solo Display Team as a coach/advisor and travelled with the team during the 2019 display season which was also the last airshow season for the team.
He came out of retirement to defend his country from the Russian invasion and paid the highest price. Col. Oksanchenko was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine by the president of the Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

There are unofficial news sources in Russia but they're heavily oppressed. A day or two ago, one news media outlet asked it's readers if it should continue reporting on the Ukraine situation or stop altogether. Continuing would risk very unwelcome attention from the powers-that-be.
Russians can also access some foreign news sources but, again, they're controlled and can be turned off if officials don't like what's being written.
Undeterred, news is often passed via other means. One example recently cited was using online restaurant review websites as a means of passing along news updates. Those pesky plebian masses have a nasty habit of working around any rules the powers-that-be try to invoke.
