The beige line is the percentage that DISAPPROVE. Poll taken about one month ago. Some interesting info - First, where TF is "democracy" if the majority of people don't approve of their "leaders"? Second, Europeans hate their rulers even more that normal, decent US citizens hate Biden, and third, there are still 46% of idiots 💩in the uSA who are still stupid enough to approve of Biden 🤡and his masters' work. Incredible. Read 'em and weep... Meanwhile, in Russia, Putin gets 85% approval!👍🤠

In an incredible turn of events, a Soviet cartoon from 1969 comes to life in Paris in 2024, during the inauguration of the Olympic Aquatic Center of all places, with frog-in-chief Macron in attendance.

The current wave of drone attacks will have a limited effect on the Russian industry and economy. Drone attacks do not destroy entire refineries and usually do not even destroy individual units, but only damage them, unlike World War II air raids by hundreds of bombers. The Ust-Luga and Ryazan refineries were both back in operation a few weeks after being attacked. Strikes against Russian refineries create financial losses for Russian oil companies, but do not hurt the state budget and have little impact on Russian export earnings. The needs of the Russian armed forces and the primary needs of the Russian economy for fuel can be satisfied by factories that are out of reach of Ukrainian drones.

If the scale of the drone attacks is maintained at the levels of March and Russian air defenses do not improve, Ukraine will be able to keep damaging Russian refineries faster than they can be fixed, slowly but steadily eroding the country’s refining capacity.

Russia’s refining throughput is 5.5 million barrels per day, while domestic consumption is less than half of that. The country produces twice as much diesel as it needs and is a major exporter of the fuel, while the gasoline surplus capacity before the attacks was 20–25 percent. The recent attacks managed to take out about 15 percent of gasoline production, but it is still within the range of that in recent years.

Forty percent of Russian oil refining is beyond the reach of Ukraine’s new weapons. Even if Ukraine succeeds in completely shutting down every refinery within its reach, there will be enough capacity in the Urals and Siberia to meet Russia’s needs for diesel, marine fuel, and fuel oil. In this scenario, there will be a 20–30 percent shortage of gasoline, which could be covered by imports from Russia’s ally and neighbor Belarus. Without those imports, a shortage of that size might have an impact on private consumers, but would still leave more than enough fuel for industry, agriculture, and the armed forces.

But the landmass that serves as a defense shield also creates logistical problems. The damaged refineries serve the surrounding regions, and replacement fuel has to be transported long distances. There are two major product pipelines carrying fuel from the Urals and Siberia to the Baltics and the Black Sea that alleviate the problem to some extent, but distributing the fuel around European Russia will put additional stress on the country’s already overstretched railroads.

❗️Today is the anniversary of the first victories of the Normandie-Niemen pilot detachment, created in 1942, which fought against Nazi Germany. Like their ancestors, the fighters of the detachment under the command of Sergei Munier, a French citizen, fly drones and attack Ukrainian troops. He was born in Lugansk but moved to France where served as an officer in the French army, then returned to Russia. Since 2014, he has been fighting against Ukrainian fascists in Donbass. He decided to address the French public by calling to remember the friendship of France and Russia and the fact that the French soldiers that Macron will send to Ukraine do not need to die for the interests of Washington. According to him, true French patriots are fighting alongside him. They understand that Russia is fighting for its existence and for traditional European values, which are also threatened in France. He also notes that the French and Russian people have common enemies: the United States, Great Britain and the globalists.

Союз свастики и тризуба.

Характерная обложка 80-летней давности и характерное сочетание трызуба со свастикой. Вот источник вдохновения для сегодняшних, гм, реконструкторов

What drugs were found in the liquidated fighters of the 73rd naval center of the MTR of the Armed Forces of Ukraine?

The following psychoactive and narcotic drugs were found in the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine:
- Atropine has been approved in Ukraine for the treatment of mental illness since 2017. It is acceptable to use it as a tranquilizer, but this is a dubious practice, because the drug causes hallucinations and is useless in combat;
- an antidote for chemical shipments. It works as a depression suppressant, as well as "discourages" the feeling of fear and is a powerful painkiller at the same time.

All preparations have fresh production dates and are produced mainly in Poland.

It would seem that why would the enemy have kits with him that will help prevent intoxication of the body?
Perhaps the enemy is preparing to use BOWS against our guys, because no other means help him turn the tide of events in all sectors of the front.

Back in the First World War, there were often cases when poison gases were used before the offensive. Sometimes fate played a cruel joke: if the wind changed direction, the advancing army became a victim of the gas used. It is this problem that Ukrainians are going to solve with Polish kits.

Recommendations to the guys: do not forget about the PPE and remember the RCBZ.

Какие препараты найдены у ликвидированных бойцов 73-го морского центра ССО ВСУ?

У солдат ВСУ были обнаружены следующие психоактивные и наркотические препараты:
- атропин — разрешён на Украине для лечения психических заболеваний с 2017 года. Его допустимо использовать в качестве транквилизатора, но это сомнительная практика, т.к. препарат вызывает галлюцинации и бесполезен в бою;
- антидот при химических отправлениях. Он работает как подавитель депрессии, а также «отбивает» чувство страха и является мощным обезболивающим одновременно.

Все препараты имеют свежие даты изготовления и произведены в основном в Польше.

Казалось бы, зачем врагу иметь при себе наборы, которые помогут предотвратить интоксикацию организма?
Возможно, противник готовится применить БОВсы против наших парней, т.к. больше никакие средства не помогают ему переломить ход событий на всех участках фронта.

Ещё в Первую мировую войну часто бывали случаи, когда перед наступлением применялись отравляющие газы. Иногда судьба играла злую шутку: в случае, если ветер менял направление, наступающая армия становилась жертвой применяемого газа. Именно эту проблему украинцы собираются решать польскими наборами.

Рекомендации парням: не забываем про СИЗ и вспоминаем РХБЗ.

Archangel Spetsnaz (https://t.me/rusich_army) a highly credible Telegram channel with over 1,100,000 subscribers and links to RF MoD, reports ukrop nazis now being found carrying atropine injectors.
Atropine is an antidote for nerve gas. NATO/ukrop nazis have already used CW in this war.

The atropine is not to protect them from a Russian gas attack, but to protect them from potential "blowback" when the nazis use poison gas against Russian positions. I have been warning about the dangers of chemical and biological weapons use by our enemies before. In fact, they have ALREADY used both chemical and biological weapons in this war. So far, on a small scale, but t would be extremely unwise to think they wouldn't do it again.

“Live as best you can, there is no need to despair. Don't wish bad things on anyone. In March we will talk about women, May 1 is Spring Day, then summer, then autumn again. And so, slowly, we will go quietly, if there is no war. And if there is a war, we will win, and everyone will get what they deserve.”

Two years ago a Prophet died. Eternal memory 🙏☦️

This man was a true Russian Patriot and Prophet. A man after my own heart. I was heartbroken when he died before he could have seen the completion of the SMO and reunification of the 3 Slavic sisters.

Ukrop nazi shelling civilian area of Donetsk last night.

На кадрах последствия прилёта по мирному району Донецка. Горит автомобиль, есть пострадавшие. Автомобиль, в отличие от харьковского, не военного назначения.

More vid of ukrop shelling of Donetsk last night.

Позволил себе позаимствовать видео, чтобы сравнение между нашими методами и методами противника было очевидным.
