A Russian general accused senior military leadership of acting “treasonously” and claimed he was fired for reporting the difficult frontline conditions faced by Moscow’s forces in Ukraine, amid rising tensions between warring factions in the military leadership.Major General Ivan Popov, the commander of Russia’s 58th Combined Arms Army that has been deployed to the frontline in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region, said in a voice message addressing his former subordinates that he had been relieved of his duties after complaining to the military leadership about a lack of supplies and casualties. “I am awaiting my fate,” Popov said in the voice memo, which was posted on Telegram overnight by lawmaker Andrey Gurulyov, who is a member of President Vladimir Putin’s United Russia party.“A difficult situation emerged with senior leadership, where I had to either shut up and make peace with that, and tell them what they wanted to hear, or say...

Tee Thursday: Lessons not required, but a good idea

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:14:59 GMT

A recent pickleball experience led me to ponder more about golf, lessons and who needs them.I’m a tennis player, you see, but so many of my friends (and yours) have been swept up in the pickleball frenzy that I just had to join in.“You don’t need to know a thing to have fun at it. Just show up!” my friends counseled me. And so I did. But I found myself lacking. Sure, I could hit the ball over the next and get the general gist of that. But not understanding the basics just made it feel less fun to me.And so, even after my friends said I was fine, I headed to a beginners pickleball clinic. Like magic, understanding the basics and intent made it immediately more fun. (Important to note here that “understanding” and “playing better” are two unique things.) But still, knowing what I should be trying to do just brought up the fun factor for me.I feel the same way about golf. As an adult learner (and knowing my own sports coaching needs), I knew if I really want to become a competent and –...

Russian anti-war activist says he was banned entry into Serbia at Belgrade airport

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:14:59 GMT

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — A Russian pro-democracy activist residing in Serbia and a fierce critic of the invasion of Ukraine said Thursday that Serbian authorities have banned him from entering the country upon returning from a trip abroad. Peter Nikitin told The Associated Press he was stopped at Belgrade airport’s passport control early on Thursday, returning from a holiday in Portugal. He said the decision was “arbitrary and illegal.”Though it formally seeks European Union membership, Serbia has maintained friendly relations with Russia and refused to impose Western-backed sanctions against Moscow over the invasion of Ukraine.Nikitin holds both Russian and Dutch citizenship and has a Serbian residence permit, where he has lived for years. He said he was trying to enter Serbia using his Dutch passport when he was turned back and ordered to return to Frankfurt, Germany, from where he had flown in.“I have been in the border zone at the Nikola Tesla airport (in Belgrade) the enti...
