About this deal

Soviet symbolism abounds. In that early scene, the player swoops past the Call of the Motherland statue in a flying car. There is also a huge brutalist skyscraper modelled on Stalin’s “Seven Sisters” high-rises that loom over Moscow to this day. You have no idea what time it is, but you start to salivate when you sense they should bring food soon,” says Polyakov, who says he not only lost 40 kilograms during his captivity but nearly the ability to speak as he struggled to cling to his "humanity," as he describes it. Mr Zelenskyy underlined the importance of defending Bakhmut in March, saying its fall could allow Russia to rally support for a deal that might require Kyiv to make unacceptable compromises. But while Ukrainian officials brushed off the leak, Ukraine has already altered some of its military plans because of it, a source close to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told CNN.

With the Russian mechanized infantry divisions on the ropes, the weather turning unfavourable for assaults, and infantry units manned by poorly led conscripts and convicts, Russia can ill afford continued bungling. But bungling there shall be, as Gerasimov and Shoigu have no one to challenge their disastrous handling of the Russian campaigns: only a blood-thirsty tyrant to appease, who is determined to see more ill-conceived Russian assaults doomed to failure against the steely determination of the Ukrainians. Remember: Highly classified Pentagon documents leaked online in recent weeks have provided a rare window into how the US spies on allies and foes alike, deeply rattling US officials, who fear the revelations could jeopardize sensitive sources and compromise important foreign relationships.We are keeping young, fighting thanks to the courage of our people, our warriors, and thanks to our cleverness. We are not throwing people to die.”

While this has likely been used for world building of the game's 1950s Soviet vision, no content warning exists in-game and its inclusion is a clumsy addition. The divide between the two parties is not surprising given the polling data on Zelensky specifically and Russia's war in Ukraine more broadly. Poland halts arms supply to Ukraine: One of Ukraine’s closest and most vocal allies has now said it will stop sending arms to Kyiv, a major reversal that threatens to upend Europe’s strategic relationship with the country as it wages a counteroffensive against Russia. In a separate issue, Radek Sikorski, a leading Polish opposition figure, told CNN that Poland should have asked the European Union for help with the cost and upgrade of port and railroad facilities to organize a trade corridor for Ukraine grain.

This offensive was the brainchild of General Gerasimov, the head of Russia’s General Staff and a staunch Putin ally. Answering to defence minister Sergei Shoigu – another Putin yes-man – Gerasimov was personally tasked to halt the Ukrainian summer offensive by October. His plan has failed, costing huge numbers of Russian lives. Already we have seen US munitions bound for Ukraine diverted for Israel, and as a fractious House split along party lines argues for more military spending for Tel Aviv, Kyiv will have to find more support from capitals closer to home. That will be a vital diplomatic mission, and a difficult one for Ukrainians who are arguably fighting Europeans’ battles for them and receiving very little help in doing so. Oleksandr Bornyakov, Ukraine’s deputy minister of digital transformation, has said that he will be sending a letter to Sony, Microsoft, and Valve requesting that digital versions of Atomic Heart not be sold in Ukraine and for its distribution in other countries to be limited.

Eurogamer, PC Gamer, and other outlets expanded on that last point by shining a light on one of Mundfish’s primary investors, GEM Capital. That company is based in Russia and was founded by Anatoliy Paliy, who was previously an executive for the Russian state-owned energy company, Gazprom. Furthermore, outlets discovered that Atomic Heart will release on VKPlay in Russia. What is VKPlay? A Russian digital distribution service owned by the Russian social media platform VKontakte (essentially the Russian equivalent of Facebook), which is also owned by Gazprom. Those connections raised concerns regarding not just Atomic Heart‘s possible ties to prominent state-owned industries but the idea that its success could in some way fund Gazprom’s controversial endeavors and other possible government agendas (including the invasion of Ukraine). More pernicious is the suggestion that the game is full of sly insults toward Ukraine. Early on, the player can kill giant wandering pigs – one charge made online is that this is a reference to “pigg”, a Russian slur against Ukrainians. The presence of drones carrying flowers is meanwhile interpreted as a reference to Russian drones in Ukraine – colloquially known as “geraniums”.

This is how you should treat such publications," Peskov said in response to a question from a journalist on the report. A leaked US intelligence document obtained by The Washington Post said Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi instructed officials to keep production and shipment secret "to avoid problems with the West."

Government statistics and rights groups suggest that Russia has freed up to 100,000 inmates and sent them to fight in Ukraine since launching its offensive in February last year. Among multiple controversies, Mundfish has been criticised for disguising its Russian origins, the game's overtly pro-Soviet era themes and its choice of release date on the anniversary of Putin's declaration of war. It has also been accused of harvesting data for Russian authorities, something the developer has denied. A Russian Satanist whose cannibalistic cult dismembered teenagers in a string of ritual murders before eating their hearts has been pardoned after fighting in Ukraine. Polyakov says the legislation would enshrine the right of former POWs to receive a wide array of services and rights, including protection from any “confessions” made while in captivity as well as a vow to bring to justice those who tortured them.Kovaleva, Baranov’s love interest, was then smeared in the victims’ blood before their dismembered bodies were buried in pits nearby. ‘Ogolobyak counted the blows’
