                OK, none of the translators are coming up with anything. What's a khlopchiki?

                              And yesterday, Putin "justified" the attacks on infrastructure with the comparison of the attack on the Karch bridge.

                                  The Wagner group appears to be a cross between an armed Latin American militia and the Nazi Einsatzgruppen.
