❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦Just FYI: How much of Donbass Does Russia Still Have to Take?❗️

▪️All of Lugansk is under Russian control;
▪️Donetsk still has sizable amounts of territory still under Ukrainian control;
▪️Taking of Bahkmut and Slavyansk will be key to taking all of Donetsk;
▪️Bahkmut & Slavyansk is where the next major battles will most likely take place.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦Delusional Economist Piece Says Ukraine Can Still Win❗️

Titled, "How to win Ukraine’s long war," it fails to actually articulate any specific remedies for Ukraine's current defeat...

The Economist:

▪️Admits Ukraine is losing Donbass;
▪️Admits Ukraine is outgunned;
▪️Admits that the West's military industrial base cannot keep up with Russia's;
▪️Claims the West can "continue to press sanctions" but gives no specifics;
▪️Claims NATO weapons "have longer range and greater accuracy" when in reality, they don't nor are they being sent in enough numbers to matter either way;

It also claims that Russia is "freezing Europe," when in reality, it is Europe who refuses to buy Russian energy at a time they are unable to find an alternative.

To think some people actually pay money to read The Economist...

Lavrov - on the closure of the Russian embassy in Bulgaria: "[Expulsion of our diplomats] is not an independent decision by the acting prime minister, who has an absolutely unambiguous pro-American orientation and is ready to fulfil any wish of his sovereign. And these wishes are to kill the historical memory in Bulgarians, to destroy the foundation of relations that were forged in the common struggle for independence. This policy of Washington extends not only to Bulgaria, they also want to kill the historical memory of other Orthodox nations in the Balkans.
The people whom Bulgaria illegally expelled ensured the vital activity of our diplomatic missions. After this trick, the embassy is not able to work normally. Naturally, we will reciprocate our Bulgarian colleagues."

Donetsk under Ukrainian shelling today -

Truss told MPs last week she was supportive of the idea that the government could seize frozen Russian assets in the UK and redistribute them to victims of Russia’s war in Ukraine.

She said: “I am supportive of the concept. We are looking at it very closely. The Canadians have in fact just passed legislation This is an issue that we are working on jointly with the Home Office and the Treasury, but I certainly agree with the concept. We just need to get the specifics of it right.”

She said the initiative would “most probably” need legislation but not necessarily.

The funds seized could be supplied either to individuals in a form of reparations or to the Ukrainian state. At present the UK can suspend Russian assets under the Economic Crime Act for 56 days and roll over the suspension for a further 56 days. In that period the owner of the asset cannot benefit from the asset in any way.

In her speech to the conference, Truss will claim the UK will position itself as Ukraine’s key partner in the recovery process and claim it has already offered $1.5bn to the country through multilateral loan guarantees and more than £100m in bilateral support.

Is it a consequence of the war or the sanctions?

A harvesting campaign has begun in the Russian controlled part of the Zaporozhye region.

Farmers expect a good yield - about 5 tons per hectare. Up to date, 20% of barley and more than 30% of rapeseed have already been harvested.

Putin, in a conversation with Shoigu, finally clarified the question of the meaning of the symbols Z and V, applied to the Russian equipment participating in the special operation.

"The East (Vostok in Russian) and West (Zapad in Russian) groups must carry out their tasks according to the previous plan," Putin said.

This theory has existed before. Now it has been finally confirmed.

However, group O does not fit into that scheme...

Cargo volume at Riga Airport decreased by 25% due to sanctions against Russia.

So, cargo planes from China to Riga no longer fly.

"These are aircraft registered in Russia, which are no longer allowed to fly to Latvia. European airlines, in turn, are prohibited from crossing the airspace of Russia," said Laila Odin, head of the Board of the GAO Starptautiska lidosta Riga.

That is, now you have to fly around Russia to fly to Asia, and therefore Riga is no longer an attractive destination for cargo from there, she explained to LETA agency.

The consequences of the morning Russian missile attack on Nikolaev. One of the hit targets is the location of the 79th separate air assault brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Sun is rising.

Libya is on fire again

After the demonstrative murder of Muammar Gaddafi, which happened more than ten years ago under the pretext of establishing democracy in the country... there is still unrest.

The protesters set fire to the parliament building and demand a change of power. But with Colonel Gaddafi, they lived in a prosperous state, had full social support. However, he was pursuing his own independent policy and criticized the West.

Therefore, a coup d'etat was organized in Libya, moreover, by the hands of its own people, and the leader himself was brutally killed. Proteges of the West came to power, as if called to improve the well-being of citizens. But, as we know, in reality, everything happens the other way around... Now the poor fellows are jumping on the ruins of the country, looking for someone to blame.
