Karma is a BITCH 🤣🤣🤣

🇮🇷🇷🇺🇺🇸 "Iran targeted U.S. early-warning radars at Gulf bases with 🇷🇺Russian assistance."

Brought to you by Washington Post. Iran getting a lot of help from its friends. But the US set this precedent by offering similar "help" to 🇺🇦Ukraine.

Turn around is fair play!!

🔺 Oil rose above $90 per barrel after Trump's threats to fight until Iran's complete surrender

🔺 Russian oil has left the category of "discounted" and may be traded at a higher price than the nominal BRENT valuation

🔺 The price of $59 per barrel is set in the Russian budget, while recent deliveries have brought in at $70


😂 Ursula, how's the 20th package doing? What aren't you accepting?
🤔 It's no wonder that if the American leak is indeed true, we share intelligence with Iran and don't let Trump get out of the mess he's created. Oh, it's no wonder!
🤔 If things go on like this, maybe they'll slightly increase the scrap fee?

Macabre footage - an explosion near a boys' school in Qazvin, Iran.

Children were playing in the yard when they suddenly heard explosions. The frightened students started to run away. One teenager was killed - a pole fell on him.

Presumably, the incident occurred on the first day of the military operation - February 28.

❗️The White House knows that the attack on the school was not carried out by Israelis, and the Trump administration has no "plausible alternative version" proving that it wasn't the Americans - NBC News

❗️The attack on a school in Iran, where children were killed, was carried out from a US base in the UAE - IRGC
This is the Al Dafra base. The IRGC reported that it had launched a new strike against it.

In the near future, Russian LNG from Europe will go to other markets - to countries that want to build constructive and pragmatic relations with Russia, noted the Deputy Prime Minister following a meeting in the government.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has said the United States could remove sanctions from more Russian oil.

This comes a day after Washington issued a 30-day waiver allowing the sale of Russian crude currently stranded at sea to continue to India.

Brief Frontline Report – March 6th, 2026

Summary by Marat Khairullin and Mikhail Popov.


Message from the Russian Ministry of Defense: "Units of the 'West' Group have established control over the settlement of Sosnovoe in the Donetsk People's Republic."

Following the liberation of the settlement of Yarovaya on March 5, assault groups of the Russian "West" army group, riding on the heels of retreating enemy units, advanced along the railway line, entered the settlement of Sosnovoe (49°04′18″ N 37°32′53″ E, population 175 in 2001), and established control over the settlement. The settlement of Sosnovoe contains the "Svyatogorsk railway junction station," the "Svyatogorsk 110/35/10 kV" traction electrical substation, and two factories: one for construction materials and the other a bottling plant. Three kilometers to the south lies the Ukrainian Armed Forces' Svyatogorsk defense area, 4.3 kilometers to the west lies the Ukrainian Armed Forces' Studenok defensive hub, and 5.6 kilometers to the north lies the Ukrainian Armed Forces' Alexandrovka defense area. The settlement is situated within a large forested area.

Units of the Russian grouping have gained freedom of action in all directions, and further advance depends on the command's concept and the operational situation.

Primary objectives: to the north—the Ukrainian Armed Forces' Rubtsy defense area, which controls access to crossings over the Oskol River; and to the south—the Svyatogorsk-Bogorodichnoe-Tatyanovka defensive hub, which controls crossings over the Seversky Donets River and access to the M-03 front-line supply route connecting the Seversk direction with deep Ukraine.


Read this report and many others on Marat Khairullin's Substack! That's where I post the high-definition maps, and frankly, the formatting on Substack makes the reports easier to follow. Any questions for Marat and Mikhail will be answered there.

$93...

As bad as this is for me, personally, this is well deserved. The only thing that seems to make Americans stand up and take notice is the price at the pump...

The last Bloomberg Russian Oil Export Update was for the week ending March 1st, so the next one should be the first to show some wild changes.

Hungary has already deported seven cash couriers from Oschadbank who were detained the day before while transporting millions of dollars and gold, reports the publication Index. Budapest states that the transportation of the money and gold was overseen by…
Following the incident involving Ukrainian cash-in-transit (CIT) employees in Hungary, problems with cash foreign currency began in Ukrainian banks.

This follows from a statement by the NBU [National Bank of Ukraine].

Due to this shortage, the National Bank announced that on March 9, it will conduct an exchange for banks of non-cash foreign currency for cash—so that reserves in the cash registers correspond to demand.

The NBU assures that its foreign currency reserves are sufficient to ensure stability in this market.

On March 5, 2025, Hungarian counter-terrorism forces detained two armored vehicles from the Ukrainian state-owned Oschadbank. The convoy was transporting approximately $80–$82 million in cash and gold from Austria to Ukraine.

Hungary's government cited a "money laundering investigation," while Ukraine accused Hungary of "state terrorism" and "hostage-taking". The incident is linked to a broader dispute where Hungary threatened "political and financial tools" to force Ukraine to reopen the Druzhba oil pipeline.
