Secondly Money isn't the issue here, but the lack of shells. Yes Latvia found 2.5 million shells together with an another country. I don't know how many thousands shells is being used on a daily basis by the Ukrainians. Let say 30.000 or is this to high ? Markus

Ukrainian infrastructure, production and energy is much worse off now than it was last year in April, and last year in April it was wors eoff than in April the year before. This is what our media notoriously ignore, that Ukraine's industrial status is getting constantly degraded. (And with that its economic survivability after the current hot phase of the war). Its not as if they repair the damage and then everything is back to square one. You never repair all what was broken, some damage remains - and these residual damages add up. And by that allowing follow-on attacks to cause even bigger damages that must be repaired with less and lesser ressources. I fear the Russian breath can - by far - outlast that of the Ukrainians. Add to this that Russia sinc elong time now is in war procutuon mode. The Wets still is not. And does nto even see a reason it should want that. Green deal madness, climate resdistribution frenzies and mass migration payment are so much more important. The left-wing elite won't let a banal Russian war of aggression and further threats of war spoil their do-gooder attitude!

Ukraine's commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrsky warned on Saturday that the situation on the eastern front had "deteriorated significantly" in recent days. (...) "This is primarily due to a significant intensification of the enemy's offensive after the presidential elections in Russia," he said, adding that decisions were "made to strengthen the most problematic defense areas with electronic warfare and air defense." Syrsky then warned that Ukraine urgently needs to achieve technical superiority over Russian forces via the use of high-tech weapons. "Only this will enable us to defeat a larger enemy and create conditions for seizing the strategic initiative," he said.

If Russia 'wins' I see an all-out war within the next decade, also initated by Russia/Putin.
It really looks like the world prepares for it, prices are rising like crazy, especially the resource markets. Usually bronze/brass and other metal values fall a bit when gold rises, now it is all going up and breaking century-old records. Does Scholz think Germany would be spared just because he hesitates to send some Taurus missiles now?

Bubble-Olaf is a hypnotized rabbit staring paralyzed at the Cobra above him. He just do not see ihmself like that. He seems himself as the snake charmer giving pedagogical lectures to the reptile, cinvincing it that it must be reaosnable, and kind, and play by the rules, because a rabbit's way is more civilized, and thus superior in charm, intellect and ratio - ideal precondition to reedcuate others on how to be sensible and reasonable.
And what means "if the war ends" in Ukraine? It should be clear what Russia really wants: it wants to end the existence of Ukraine, and it wants all of Ukraine for itself, not just as another, different, added part of Russia, but as indistinguishable Russia itself. I linked to the secret paper of the orthodox church, which is led by a former KGB/FSB agent. It openly spoke of that this "holy Russian war" has begun 2014. These unworldly nutcases in Europe will be rubbing their eyes.

The prospect of a Ukrainian defeat makes me sad to say the least - I was always hoping the Russians would get a proper slap on the fingers. But it looks like Putin is getting away with his sleazy actions which makes me even more sad.

The Big Oil behind America’s criticism of Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries Mykhailo Honchar, a Ukrainian energy analyst, contends that Defense Secretary Austin’s warnings against striking Russian refineries reveal the Kremlin’s influence on US policy through oil giants like Chevron, which heavily invests in Kazakhstan’s oil fields.The shifting sands of US consensus The US has long been divided on the issue of Ukrainian strikes against Russian refineries. While the State Department was split, the Pentagon and prominent American generals considered the attacks to be legitimate from a military perspective. However, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin now suggests that the impact of these strikes on global energy markets should be taken into account. According to Mykhailo Honchar, the real issue at hand is the increase in American gasoline prices. However, he argues that the problem does not lie in Ukraine’s strikes on Russian refineries but rather in US policy in the Middle East. For several months, the US-led coalition has struggled to deal with the Houthis in Yemen, whose attacks on oil tankers in the Red Sea have forced them to use longer and more expensive routes. “Crude oil and fuel markets are different. Oil is not poured into tanks; only its refined products – diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel – are. Therefore, Austin’s assertion is absurd. He is shifting the blame to Ukraine due to the Pentagon’s inability to put an end to the Houthis,” Honchar told Euromaidan Press... https://euromaidanpress.com/2024/04/...an-refineries/ |

In France, the building of a new gunpowder production line is started In the French city of Bergerac, the building of a new line for the production of gunpowder for the needs of the EU and Ukraine has begun.... The new production line of the plant should begin work in early 2025, and almost immediately the first “fruits” of its production should be received by the Ukrainian army. The plant was created during the First World War, and since 2023 it has again become strategic for the French state and, in addition, for the entire European military industry. French manufacturers expect to produce 1,200 tons of gunpowder for shells per year... https://mil.in.ua/en/news/in-france-...ne-is-started/ |
