Russia just blocked voice calls on WhatsApp and Telegram.

Notice how this is happening now, after a decade of war invading Ukraine. The latest in a long list of Russian invasions.

Russia doesn't need to hide the realities of the war from its population: Russian culture is all for theft, rape, and murder. It's a popular war. Hell, Russian telegram is full of Russian units bragging about their drone strikes on Ukrainian civilians.

What Russia needs to hide is the fact that they're gradually losing. Just this year Ukraine estimates that military strikes on the Russian economy have already cost them 4% of GDP. Not enough. But combined with all the other costs of war, their economy is in bad shape and there is no path to things getting better without coercing Ukraine into surrender.

_That_ is what Russians care about. And we need to be doing a lot more to destroy Russia's economy and impoverish that psychopathic society. Killing Russians and blowing up their infrastructure means they can't kill you.
