Kursk Incursion, General Arrests, the Durov Case, and Telegram on the Front Lines / Shiryaev
The guest of the program "Hang in there!" is military observer Valery Shiryaev. Together with Marianna Minsker, we discussed how Telegram has become an important means of communication on the front lines, what's happening in the Kursk and Belgorod regions amid the Ukrainian Armed Forces' operation, whether new arrests are possible in the "generals' case," and what changes are taking place in the Russian Ministry of Defense.
