With the City Girls’ return spurred by JT’s release from behind bars, it looks like a project is about to drop any minute.

But for now, the Florida duo has been enjoying some quality downtime while they are in between releases. While Yung Miami has been spending time with her newborn baby girl, Summer Miami , JT has been in the studio cooking up some new music. During a recent livestream with her fans from what appeared to be a studio, the rapper was speaking to Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta star Tommie Lee about her life behind bars when Lil Yatchy’s name came up. 

As they were talking, Lee big-upped how Lil Boat “stayed down” for the rapper as she finished her one-year prison sentence. “Chile, barely. Yachty is a manipulator,” JT began before she dished to Lee that her Quality Control label mate was preoccupied with other women while she was doing time for credit card fraud. 

ICYMI: Yachty co-penned the City Girls’ breakout hit, “Act Up,” alongside JT, and the two are often in the booth together. While there’s been dating rumors between the two, their relationship status was never officially confirmed.

Lee tried to come to Yachty’s defense before the Girl Code rapper told Lee that Yachty did not write her a single letter or email and cheated on her while she was locked up. 

“He had this whole b**tch at his grandmother’s funeral and everything,” JT said. 

'It’s too much. He stays in the trick zone. He thinks he’s smarter than a b**tch'

JT then called the Lil Boat maestro into the room “to come talk about it.” Sidestepping the allegations, Yachty said he didn’t “know what the f**k” JT was talking about when she claimed he told her that a girl came to see him when he was home for his grandmother’s funeral. 

‘We business partners,’ Yachty clarified to Lee. ‘We are working on music’

From there, things got a little heated as Yachty and Lee, who was now #TeamJT, argued back and forth, trading a few verbal jabs. The Atlanta native warned Lee to stop “playing with [his] grandma,” and called “cap” on the whole conversation. The video clips obtained by The Shade Room ended shortly after.

Lil Yachty hasn’t publicly commented on the matter yet either, but Quality Control might want to sit JT and Lil Yachty down to work out things out in private.

Free JT may have been the mantra for the summer, but according to the City Girl not everyone was as supportive as her fans.

During her live video on her Instagram , JT revealed that she was working on new music, talked to a few old friends including Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta star Tommie , and gave fans the tea on what really went down in her relationship with “Act Up” co-writer and QC label mate Lil Yachty .

According to JT, Lil Yachty never sent her any e-mails or letters and cheated on her while she couldn’t be with him on the outside.

”Man Yachty is a manipulator and a liar that’s why he stay in the trick zone, because he be lying like he really held me down but he had a whole b*tch at his grandma’s funeral.”

Although you can tell by the video that the two are cool JT made sure that she didn’t fall into the “he said, she said” drama of social media and called Lil Yachty into the room to defend himself.

”Come on in here Miles,” JT yelled before Lil Yachty appeared in the room off camera. “They said you been telling people you held me down. They want to talk about, so let’s talk about it.” JT continued.

Lil Yachty did say a few words before leaving the room claiming that he’s not with the “Instagram sh*t.”

”First off I want to say RIP grandma,” Lil Yachty said. “Ya’ll tripping over my grandma funeral? Like for real this is straight cap and I’m not with this Instagram sh*t.”

Although the status of their relationship is unclear, you can tell it’s not stopping the two from making moves in the studio. After her release two weeks ago, JT was seen two days later in the studio, ready to work and release new music.

Last year, JT started a 24 months prison sentence after surrendering for charges related to felony identity theft, but was released earlier this month after one year for good behavior. Since her original release date was March 21, 2020, she will have to complete one year of probation following her release.

City Girls Know They’re Raw. Now They Want Respect.

Upon the release of their latest album, Yung Miami and JT open up about their new era of music, evolution, and staying unbothered.

On their new album RAW (an acronym for “Real Ass Whores”), City Girls offer their traditional ratchet, everyday girl rap with hints of vulnerability between songs. Midtempo “Emotions” features Grammy-winning R&B singer-songwriter Muni Long , who begs a prosperous suitor to “open your heart and open your wallet.” “Show Me the Money” sees Yung Miami and JT continuing their paper chase, as the former dismisses romance and opts for the bag: “Fuck love I be playing wit’ ‘em.” Salacious club banger “Piñata” could make your abuela gasp; JT commands her sexual conquest to shower her in Chanel for an opportunity to “hit it.”

As the Dirty South natives tell it, the provocative ethos of RAW is no different from their trendsetter entry into hip-hop, which has been closely followed by the rising generation of brazen female rappers. “When me and Caresha came out, we came back with that fuck that n**** music. At the time, we got bashed for calling men broke; people were cussing us out left and right, saying ‘fuck them hoes,’ ‘they ratchet,’ and [our music] was just real raw shit,” JT tells ELLE.com. “When we came out, everybody kind of switched up what they were doing and how they were presenting themselves.”

Recorded in major cities like Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Miami, RAW reflects City Girls’ growth and coast-to-coast perspective between stops at lively night clubs and hookah lounges. “I think on a personal level, we’re not on the same mindset. We’re older, we’re [in] different locations as far as where we’re living. We’re just not in the same space,” Yung Miami says. “It’s been three years, so it’s just everything; the way we dress, the way we talk, we live, we think… A lot can happen over the years.”

In the five years since making their mainstream introduction on Drake’s chart-topping hit “In My Feelings” (where JT was noticeably absent from the music video due to her previous incarceration), City Girls have taken pop culture by storm. Their witty catch phrases like “period” and “real bad” are synonymous with the Black Twitter lexicon, and both women have achieved commercial fanfare together and individually. Yung Miami, who hilariously deemed herself “The Black Oprah,” is the face of contemporary hip-hop media for her wild REVOLT podcast Caresha Please . JT is a fashion world mainstay, often placed on cyber-chic Y2K mood boards for looks that compliment her longtime partner, rapper Lil Uzi Vert. The ladies are even executive producers of Issa Rae’s Max comedy Rap Sh!t , loosely based on their early career. Florida rap was once known for its gloomy, hypnagogic SoundCloud artists of the 2010s, but City Girls broke the mold and solidified themselves as unapologetic womanist megastars.

But where City Girls have attracted fame, the pair also grappled with misfortunes. In 2020, the father of Yung Miami’s son was fatally shot, and the rapper would later speak about experiencing depression. JT has gotten into occasional spats with “fans” and haters on social media, some involving her high-profile relationship, but the couple shrugs off detractors. During our Zoom chat, JT briefly picks up a call from Uzi. They exchange quick words of affection: “Yes, I do miss you. I love you, too. But I’m gonna call you right back,” JT affirms. This was just days before JT changed her Instagram name to “Jatavia Woods” to match Uzi’s legal surname.

JT might be on her way to “City Wife” goals, but the rapper makes it known that she can still take care of herself. “When you get money, you are independent. Even if you’re in the house with me, I don’t have to tolerate much because I know that I can pay my own bills,” she says. “So as submissive as I can be, I’m still independent when somebody got me fucked up, because I know that I can move how I want to move and I do what I want to do.”

Despite public fodder about their relationships and alleged beefs, City Girls are nonplussed by rumors. “You just learn to deal with being a public figure. You know what comes with it as far as criticism, trending, people talking about you—it’s become natural,” Yung Miami says. “It’s like an everyday part of your life. Everyday somebody’s gonna wake up and tweet about you; you’re a celebrity, you’re famous. It’s just one of those things, which is, if you get it, you get it. It don’t really faze us.”

Maybe that explains why Yung Miami is plainly unbothered about gossip revolving around her past relationship with Diddy, although the two are still friends and business partners. On RAW track “Survive,” she acknowledges their fling: “Bitches want smoke while I’m on the jet with Puff/young bitch from Miami got a n**** tryna cuff.”

Although her romance with hip-hop’s third billionaire was short-lived, Yung Miami imparts dating wisdom that other self-sufficient women can relate to. “I think something that’s important to having a relationship is transparency, being able to communicate with your partner and [compromise]. When you are an individual and independent, you’ve gotta take care of yourself in some type of way or form.”

We grew up off of survival.” —Yung Miami

An anthemic rags-to-riches tale, “Survive” also sees City Girls take on the fast life and harken back to the grit of their South Florida origins. “We live a real raw lifestyle. You can tell the difference between people that have literally been taken care of since they were kids and people that get access to certain things with age,” JT says.

In agreement, Yung Miami interjects: “You know how some people are born with a silver spoon? We grew up off of survival.”

“Since we could understand, we were fighting to survive. Not on no crazy shit, but on some real shit,” JT continues. “That’s just how it goes where we’re from. We grew up [as] ’90s babies in Miami. We’re not from a small town.”

They bring the big city to the runway on RAW track “Work for It,” where JT boasts that her catwalk is “giving Kate Moss.” Historically, female rappers have been arbiters of hip-hop’s connection to high fashion and streetwear, and JT carries the tradition in recent campaigns for Mowalola and Poster Girl . Now with her own forthcoming line , JT confesses that she isn’t “running to every fashion show,” but it’s clear that she’s effortlessly become an It Girl.

“Sometimes people try hard to fit into spaces where people don’t want to nurture them. When I do campaigns, I probably know a person that’s there and I feel comfortable doing it. I’m learning as I go, but I’m not forcing myself into any spaces,” JT says. “What I’m trying to do is be myself and I think that’s what makes it so cool, because people don’t expect it and it’s new to the people where I come from.”

As for the criticism regarding her style experimentation, like her Mowalola x Beats shoot, JT doesn’t sweat online backlash. “I’m glad that people see it, and what makes it so good is controversy, because it's always stupid and ugly to people so [they] make it go viral, and then it becomes a thing,” she says. “Every time I do a photo shoot that don't look right to somebody, they post it because they think that I'm gonna get clowned, and then it just makes me go up.”

bet hip hop awards 2023 show

Akin to JT’s fashionable reputation, Yung Miami has rightfully paved her own lane in podcast culture, and she’s preparing for the second season of Caresha Please . Wanting to have “real life conversations,” she’s focused on being a resource and speaking to guests about domestic violence, homelessness and politics. The internet once joked about her abruptly using a Malcolm X quote while interviewing Megan Thee Stallion, but Yung Miami insists that her next talking points won’t be a laughing matter: “You have to touch the people and there’s a lot of topics to touch on as far as the day that we live in.”

Even with their individual praises, City Girls have yet to be properly awarded for their efforts as a team. Despite their BET Award and Billboard Award nominations, they still haven’t earned the recognition they’re due. For example, their 2019 song “Act Up” was sampled on Megan Thee Stallion, Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign collaboration “Hot Girl Summer,” certified three-times platinum, and marks the highest certified song by a rap girl group ever . But City Girls didn’t receive an award to show for the single’s success.

“People try to laugh and clown about ‘Act Up,’ but ‘Act Up’ was a culture shift and it deserved way more than what it got,” JT says. “People sample songs fifteen years out – ‘Act Up’ was sampled within a year. I don’t give a fuck where it came from, how it came about, ‘Act Up’ was a song that deserved way more than what it got.”

I feel like, as the City Girls, we never got the respect that we deserved.” —JT

JT also disapproves of the fact that Lil Yachty seemingly took full credit for writing the song. (He stirred controversy when he revealed himself as a co-writer, then appeared in the “Act Up” music video.) “When you think about it, probably the biggest songs that win Grammys are written by other people, so that don’t even make sense,” JT adds. “I feel like, as the City Girls, we never got the respect that we deserved, and it’s okay. I’m not crying about it, I don’t give a fuck. But that’s when you put your all into you and how you measure your success.”

In a time where the music consumption is largely based on virality, RAW demonstrates that City Girls still have plenty of wins to keep them on everyone’s radar. Looking ahead to dominating every aspect of hip-hop, the duo shows that their dedication to evolving still makes them a force to be reckoned with.

“Whatever we dream of—podcasts, fashion, TV—I feel like we’re doing very, very good by ourselves,” JT says. “I feel like a lot of odds are betted against us. A lot is taken from us, was taken from us, so I hope that we evolve together and individually just to prove people wrong, period.”

JT from City Girls Says She Finds out Lil Yachty Cheated on Her While She Was in Prison

Olowokandi Fiyin

Lil Yachty reportedly cheated on JT. The City Girl rapper tells all in a new Instagram live stream.

Fans of "the City Girls'" have been anticipating JT's release from prison since last year.

JT began her sentence last year after singing on Drake’s summer classic hit, “In my feelings.” JT, birth name, Jatavia Johnson, gave herself up to the authorities on June 29th, 2018, according to reports by Hot97.

According to Hot New Hip Hop, the rapper was sentenced to jail for credit card fraud, making her other half, Yung Miami, the only one left to run the show. During the challenges, the entire Quality Control crew had her back as they anticipated her release.

Thankfully, she came back home this month. The Florida-based girl band is currently enjoying a break from making hit songs, as Yung Miami focuses on her newborn baby, Summer. Regardless, JT is solely working on dropping some fire records for her fans.

While speaking to her fans in a recent live-stream on Instagram, the rapper opened up about her stay in jail and her relationship with Lil Yachty. She reportedly said that the rapper cheated on her, as reported by Hot97.

The Shade Room on Instagram uploaded the highlight of the video and in the clip, she said :

"Yachty is a [expletive] manipulator… he had his whole [expletive] at his grandma's funeral, child and everything. He's just too much."

JT also mentioned that Lil Yachty didn't send her any letters or e-mails, Hot New Hip Hop disclosed .

yachty jt

Fans have been connecting JT and Lil Uzi Vert as a couple for some time now, although it has never been officially stated by either of the two, lyrics to Uzi’s song “Lo Mein” and a recent interview with the City Girls has fans pretty confident that the two are in some sort of entanglement.

“@lilyachty wya you know what u did in 2018,” Uzi wrote to Yachty.

yachty jt

“”What I do,” Yachty repsonded with the surprised face emoji.

“JT,” Uzi responded.  

We are not sure what exactly Uzi means by this tweet, but all post have been removed shortly after they were posted. Publicity stunt or love affair?

Lil Yachty was among the rappers that NBA YoungBoy dissed on his new   Richest Opp album.

“Lil Yachty mad about JT, f*ck, bitch, play with me / Half of y’all ain’t got more money than me," rhymes YoungBoy.

Last night, Boat wonder why YB came after him like that.

So YB told him exactly why.  According to YB, Yachty called him to ask if he was talking to Boat's ex-girl JT.  And YB didn't like that.

Free JT may have been the mantra for the summer, but according to the City Girl not everyone was as supportive as her fans.

During her live video on her Instagram , JT revealed that she was working on new music, talked to a few old friends including Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta star Tommie , and gave fans the tea on what really went down in her relationship with “Act Up” co-writer and QC label mate Lil Yachty .

According to JT, Lil Yachty never sent her any e-mails or letters and cheated on her while she couldn’t be with him on the outside.

”Man Yachty is a manipulator and a liar that’s why he stay in the trick zone, because he be lying like he really held me down but he had a whole b*tch at his grandma’s funeral.”

Although you can tell by the video that the two are cool JT made sure that she didn’t fall into the “he said, she said” drama of social media and called Lil Yachty into the room to defend himself.

”Come on in here Miles,” JT yelled before Lil Yachty appeared in the room off camera. “They said you been telling people you held me down. They want to talk about, so let’s talk about it.” JT continued.

Lil Yachty did say a few words before leaving the room claiming that he’s not with the “Instagram sh*t.”

”First off I want to say RIP grandma,” Lil Yachty said. “Ya’ll tripping over my grandma funeral? Like for real this is straight cap and I’m not with this Instagram sh*t.”

Although the status of their relationship is unclear, you can tell it’s not stopping the two from making moves in the studio. After her release two weeks ago, JT was seen two days later in the studio, ready to work and release new music.

JT Says Lil Yachty Cheated On Her While She Was In Jail

BY Danielle Jennings

yachty jt

Newly released City Girls member, JT , recently had something to get off her chest regarding her relationship with Lil Yachty—and he probably wasn’t expecting what she had to say.

During a recent session on Instagram Live, JT decided to spill all the tea regarding her relationship with Lil Yachty, specifically claiming that he cheated on her while she was in prison and that he never sent any letters or emails. While on the livestream, JT included some of her friends in the chat, such as “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” star Tommie Lee. As the two were talking, Lil Yachty came up and that’s when JT let it all out.

She admitted that she was very unhappy with how he treated her during her incarceration, claiming that while he always answered her calls, he never sent her any emails or letters. However, the biggest bombshell of the conversation occurred when she revealed that Yachty also cheated on her.

If you’re a City Girls fan, then you’re already aware that Yachty wrote the group’s hit single, “Act Up.” His contribution the group’s success may be why towards the end of the conversation, JT stated that although they are no longer in a relationship, they are still “business partners.”

At one point, Yachty actually made an appearance in the video, which means that they are on somewhat good terms these days. Only time will tell if the two rekindle their relationship.

NBA YoungBoy Says He Dissed Lil Yachty for Calling Him About City Girls' JT

Author: VladTV

Staff Writer

View this post on Instagram A post shared by

NBA YoungBoy dropped his latest project, Richest Opp, and the song "F*** the Industry is getting a lot of attention.

In the song, YoungBoy takes aim at J. Cole and Drake, who he says refused to work with him due to his ties to Lil Durk. YoungBoy raps, "Talked to Drake 'cross FaceTime, he wasn't feelin' me/Told me that he f*** with Durk, damn, that sh*t gettin' to me/Told me that he like the sh*t I'm doin', but can't do sh*t with me/So when we cross our ways, f*** what you say, b*tch, you my enemy." 

While addressing J.Cole, YoungBoy raps, "J a ho, that nigga played it cold, like he was gon' do a feature/So I texted his line, a muscle sign, I swear it's gon' be nice to meet you." 

Elsewhere, the Louisiana spitter got at Lil Yachty, "Play with me, Lil Yachty mad about JT, f*ggot / B*tch, play with me, half of y’all ain’t got more money than me." 

Lil Yachty seemed confused about the diss, as he shared a meme of 50 Cent saying, "I mean, why he say f*** me for?" 

This led to YoungBoy posting a video, where he addressed Yachty, stating, "This n***a Yachty crazier than a muthaf***a, son. Aye b*tch, you got me laughing over here, boy. B*tch, you know why I said that, man." 

YoungBoy then explained that Lil Yachty once called to question him about talking to his then-girlfriend, City Girls rapper JT. YoungBoy stated, "If I ain’t mistaken, bro, you say you asked me about trying to talk to your b*tch. And I was confused 'cause you a hoe and you was coming at me, like, I ain't really do that. B*tch, I got a mental problem over here and I got too much money."

Asian Doll Alleges That JT "Sucked" Lil Yachty For "Act Up"

Asian Doll spews allegations against JT of the City Girls and Lil Yachty, claiming that JT engaged in sexual acts with Lil Yachty in exchange for writing "Act Up".

Cassidy Sparrow, Prince Williams & Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images

Oh lord, this feud is getting heated fast. Over the weekend, Asian Doll called out Megan Thee Stallion and the City Girls, claiming that she was supposed to be on their collaborative record "Do It On The Tip", which is on Megan's debut studio album Good News . She didn't end up making the final cut, and she supposedly got a little messy when she decided to play the uncleared record on Instagram Live. That much incited a major beef involving all of the mentioned parties , as well as some forces that have absolutely nothing to do with the fight.

As of this publication, BIA stepped in to support Asian Doll and several others have also spoken up. In the midst of the battle, which features  tons of since-deleted tweets and a very popular live stream from Asian, the Dallas-based rapper brought Lil Yachty into the mix, alleging that JT of the City Girls performed sexual acts on Yachty in exchange for the "Act Up" record.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CJCZh7kBFD6

In case you didn't already know, Lil Yachty wrote the majority of "Act Up" , the record that really put the City Girls on the map. He's admitted as much, and now his involvement in the song is being brought up by Asian Doll as she tried to get the upper hand during her beef with JT, Yung Miami, and Megan Thee Stallion.

Following JT's deactivation of her main account on Twitter , Asian Doll wrote: "Yatchy wrote hits for b*tches while I FREESTYLE all my sh*t while me and yatchy record you s*cked his d*ck for ACT UP as well."

https://www.instagram.com/p/CJCmYkUhEsM

The tweet was deleted, but this isn't the first time we hear of anything sexual happening between Lil Yachty and JT. During her prison stint, JT seemingly alleged that Lil Yachty cheated on her with another woman , despite them not publicly dating. She claimed that the rapper didn't send her any letters or e-mails, which soured their personal relationship.

We'll keep you posted on all of the pertinent updates regarding Asian Doll's beef with the City Girls, specifically JT, and Megan Thee Stallion.

James Blake Once Again Slams Streaming Services for Ripping off Artists, Announces Launch of Vault Where Fans Can Stream Unreleased Music

The launch of the service comes just a few weeks after Blake criticized streaming services for not paying enough royalties to artists.

James Blake is helping to launch the Vault streaming platform weeks after criticizing mainstream streaming services for not paying artists enough.

"About a week ago I went viral with a post about the effects of streaming and TikTok on artists' ability to support themselves," said Blake in a video announcing the venture. "I wanted to give you some figures. This is how much artists make out of streaming: Between $0.0003 and $0.0005 per stream depending on that platform. Which is one million plays equals $3,000. If you're signed to a label then imagine that numbers cut at least 50 percent. And after management cut, which is between 15 to 20 percent, and taxes and recording overheads, it's just not sustainable for an artist to focus just on their art."

Blake highlighted that roughly 19 percent of artists on Spotify have over a thousand listeners, while Universal Music Group recently took its entire catalog off of TikTok because of how little it pays out.

"Most musicians are not extroverts who are social media and branding geniuses, least of all me. And I wanted to find a way for musicians to make money directly from the music they make, not least to be able to reinvest in the very expensive process of renting studios, hiring musicians, etc.," he continued. "I’ve spoken to a lot of artists who feel frustrated that so much great music goes unreleased because it doesn’t meet certain requirements or trends."

Shortly after Blake shared his tweets criticizing the current state of the music industry, specifically in regards to online royalties on streaming services and TikTok, he was contacted by the team behind Vault. "I’m going to start the experiment off by releasing from my Vault of unreleased music for a subscription of $5 a month," he said. "It’s music direct from me to you, where no one can gatekeep what I release to you, or delay my releases. And I’ve got a chat section for everyone to discuss the music."

Blake stressed that Vault is still in its infancy, but more features will be added as it continues to develop. "The concept of subscribing to an artist directly, I think can change the game and release artists from the relentless merry-go-round of the current state of things," he said. "This is hopefully a great step towards allowing artists to be as authentic as possible, while still making a living."

Ok, so for the first time I’m going to be releasing from my vault of unreleased music We are launching @vaultdotfm to show music has inherent value beyond just exposure Subscribe to unlock 👇 pic.twitter.com/pIic7Ef47G — James Blake (@jamesblake) March 20, 2024

Users can subscribe to J ames Blake on Vault for $5 a month. So far, he's shared three unreleased songs on the platform with more on the way soon.

What if making music was enough? pic.twitter.com/oP64sE7llU — Vault (@vaultdotfm) March 20, 2024

Blake's initial criticism was co-signed by the artist formerly known as Kanye West , with whom Blake has worked in the past.

"If we want quality music somebody is gonna have to pay for it.  Streaming services  don’t pay properly,  labels  want a bigger cut than ever and just sit and wait for you to go viral,  TikTok  doesn’t pay properly, and touring is getting prohibitively expensive for most artists," Blake tweeted at the time. "And by the way, since it’s cheaper to produce fast, synthetic music to drop on streaming every week to capitalize on the strengths of the model, watch how the model is preparing you for AI generated music that pays musicians nothing at all."

Radiators fail once more: Moscow suburbs residents appeal to Putin

R esidents across the Moscow suburbs are besieged by a heating problem, for which they plead direct intervention from President Vladimir Putin. These individuals have yet to experience any semblance of home heating since winter started due to a dwindling supply of heating oil. The issue, one largely avoided by local authority communication, has left residents desperate to the point of directly appealing to the president.

While plots have been uncovered to disrupt Ukraine's infrastructure for a second consecutive winter, thus depriving civilians of heating, it seems Russians are now mired in their crisis. Irony drips from the fact that those under Putin's leadership are looking to cause turmoil in Ukraine, yet at home, they face a similar predicament.

Many dwellings within the Moscow agglomeration are presently without heat. The capital's residents are desperate, directly appealing to President Putin due to a perceived lack of alternate avenues for assistance. The absence of suitable heating functionality since winter commenced pushes them towards desperation with no relief in sight.

This seems improbable, but in Russia, it appears that anything can happen.

It remains uncertain if Vladimir Putin is actively addressing the heating crisis. Some experts suggest that Russia's heating oil reserves are depleting, which negatively affects residents' quality of life. Plagued by cold radiators and plummeting winter temperatures, these citizens have directly addressed their pleas to their head of state.

This heating crisis is happening in Elektrostal, a town approximately 71 miles from Moscow.

Ironically, Russia has constantly aimed to destroy the Ukrainian infrastructure since war broke out, deliberately trying to leave Ukrainians without heating during the harsh winters, aiming to break their strong will. It's an irony they now struggle with a domestic heating crisis, particularly near Moscow, their largest and most pivotal city.

Desperate individuals are reaching out to Vladimir Putin. They question his knowledge of the heating infrastructure conditions in the Moscow suburbs and the dire situations residents face there. Sundown brings no relief from the harsh Russian winter and without heating, their houses turn cold. With elections nearing, more and more residents find themselves reaching out directly to their president.

"Since winter's start, we've been without heating. This has been a yearly occurrence for the past three years. Despite paying for heating, we don't have enough. We implore you, help us!" - these are the desperate pleas from the heavily dressed populace dealing with the Russian winter conditions.

Experts attribute the heating oil shortage to international sanctions and surging demands for diesel fuel, pivotal to military operations. Russia now grapples with a dearth of raw materials essential for boiler and heating plant operation. As supplies dwindle, houses grow cold with little hope of any immediate corrective intervention.

It would be adequate if the war ceased, residents were prioritized, and attention accorded to their welfare.
