Russia’s space agency said in a social media post that the issue occurred while its Luna 25 lander was completing a maneuver to put it on course for its touchdown.

The Luna 25 spacecraft reported an “emergency situation on board,” Russia’s space agency, Roscosmos, said on Saturday.

An incident occurred as the spacecraft was trying to enter a pre-landing orbit, according to Roscosmos.

“During the operation, an emergency situation occurred on board the automatic station, which did not allow the maneuver to be performed with the specified parameters,” Roscosmos said in a Telegram post.

        I too fucked up with that. Got obliterated, dogpiled, my wording sliced apart to catch any out I didn’t perfectly cover, and pretty sure banned, so honestly I think I found a good way to defederate from a whole instance, at the user level lol

        The original 2014 conflict did start because the Russian speaking population panicked when the pro west and Ukrainian nationalists took over in the revolution. There legitimately were Nazis in positions of power then, though as far as I know it was much better by 2022.

        Policies like removing russian language rights didn’t help either. So while obviously a large part falls on Russia for invading and trying to fulfil their imperialist ambitions Ukraine is not as innocent as it seems either.

        Have a look at this to see why russian minorities would be concerned https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_language_in_Ukraine#Ukrainization_in_modern_Ukraine
