Russian authorities have renamed the street outside the embassy after a separatist region that claims to be independent from Ukraine, "Donetsk People's Republic Square."
Like most of the world besides Russia, the U.S. refuses to recognize the Donetsk "republic" and, so far, appears to be refusing to use the new address.
And then:
Following the change of address, this week the U.S. unveiled a workaround of sorts. The Embassy's website quietly switched its listed contacts to coordinates: "55,75566° N, 37,58028°E." At least one section of the website, meanwhile, has kept the traditional address: Bolshoy Deviatinsky Pereulok No. 8.
Sent by the last janitor in the basement with a ham radio ,, in morse code. There are less than 100 inhabitors of the US Moscow embassy now, which had 1,200 ten years ago. Dust in the wind.
I think it's more recent than that.
And then:
LOL.

Brittney Griner is fucked.
Pretty sure the Russians will just hold her as leverage.
