Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

The most important system is still Patriots. Patriot is a more advanced, longer range and can intercept ballistic missiles. IRIS-T has difficulty with ballistic missiles, though allegedly they're working on upgrades to enable IRIS-T to be able to shoot down ballistic missiles.

I meant from the Germans.

I meant from the Germans.

I think so, yes. Air defense remains the top request Ukrainians make of allies, and IRIS-T is one of the better options from Europe that Ukraine operates. The other main requested ones are SAMP/T (France/Italy) and NASAMS (Norway).

The European Union announced a new package of sanctions against Russia on Tuesday, saying that Moscow’s daily deadly attacks against Ukraine show that it is not interested in peace – despite recent diplomatic efforts.

The new package – the 18th since Russia launched its full-scale unprovoked invasion against its neighbor in 2022 – is designed to further target the Kremlin’s ability to make money from its oil and gas production.

The proposal includes lowering the price cap on Russian oil exports from $60 to $45 per barrel and introducing a full transaction ban on Russian banks and financial institutions in third countries that help Russia circumvent existing sanctions.

Selling crude @ 45 USD per barrel is a disaster for Putin's government. This could signal the beginning of the end for Russia financially + for its non-military economy. I hope the war does not stop. Russia should start to crumble here and there in the next year.

Footage of a Russian Iskander-M ballistic missile strike on a Ukrainian army training ground. The video was filmed near the village of Davydiv Brod on the border of the Kherson and Mykolaiv regions. At the time of the missile strike, scientific classes were taking place at the training ground. It is worth noting that many Iskander-M missiles have been used recently, and according to some media outlets, Russia has begun making simplified versions of the missiles. The video clearly shows how the cluster bomblets are distributed over the area during an explosion. About 70 soldiers were killed and 10 vehicles were damaged as a result of the missile strike. Ukrainian media confirmed the deaths of servicemen.

Given the government's lack of funds, I am mystified why the central bank does not push the value of the ruble down - unless inflation is higher than the published rate. Lower ruble value = more rubles received by the government per barrel of crude sold in USD. Lower ruble value = more expensive imports, so pushes inflation up.

An episode of combat operations of the Russian Su-34 fighter-bomber, using, according to media reports, FAB-500 aerial bombs with UMPK modules. The video was filmed in the village of Mirny in the Pokrovsky direction. Units of the 117th mechanized brigade of the Ukrainian army were located in the village.

In its quest for funds, Russia has a new tactic - seize companies that are not 100% Russian owned. Some rich Russians with dual nationality (I guess for tax reasons) are falling victim to this new tactic.

Is this risky? I imagine that some of the rich oligarchs have dual citizenship for tax reasons. Would it be dangerous for Putin to seize their assets?
