Belarus' Mozyr refinery is the Kremlin's best hope for securing up to 90kbpd of gasoline and a bit of jet and diesel. But it sits just across the Ukrainian border and is itself an obvious strategic target.

This is a legitimately interesting observation. Rare for you.

Really? Do I have to explain to you what quote marks mean?
The bean-counters weigh in -

quote:

Russian refinery throughput has now collapsed to 2.8mbpd from 5.1mbpd in 2022. Omsk is severely damaged, though not yet fully offline (see below).

Gasoline, diesel and jet shortages are now emerging simultaneously. With multiple crude distillation units (CDUs) knocked out across the refinery system, there is no quick path to restoring refining capacity. Sustained product imports are becoming Russia's only viable medium-term solution.

Good luck with that. Belarus' Mozyr refinery is the Kremlin's best hope for securing up to 90kbpd of gasoline and a bit of jet and diesel. But it sits just across the Ukrainian border and is itself an obvious strategic target -

China has frozen negotiations with Russia over the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline.

According to The Wall Street Journal, during Vladimir Putin’s most recent visit to Beijing, Chinese officials asked the Russian delegation not to raise the issue of the project again until the terms of the deal change.

The newspaper reports that Beijing is willing to sign the contract only if Russia agrees to supply gas at domestic Russian prices — a condition Moscow considers economically unacceptable.

The proposed price is around $50 per 1,000 cubic meters, far below Russia’s export rates.

Shedding light on yet another layer of Kremlin propaganda, with the assistance of the NY Times -
quote:

In light of the recent data breach of [supposed Russian resistance writer] Ksenia Sobchak’s media empire, Ostorozhno Media, exposing her as working directly with Russian authorities, I want to remind everyone that this article exists.

The Kremlin keeps sending stool pigeons to the West, and Western media publishes every piece of Russian propaganda they are given and hungrily asks for more.

Every person with knowledge of the region (or more than two living brain cells) told the NYT that they were platforming a propagandist at the time the article was released. Did they listen? Nope.

Meanwhile, the interesting things we are finding out from the data breach include groveling to Kremlin censors, namely Sergey Novikov, head of the Kremlin’s Presidential Directorate for Social Projects; hard-core self-censorship on the fuel crisis in Russia; scolding her chief news editor for publishing bad remarks about Russian messenger Max, an FSB project to keep the Russian internet space under control; long talks with Margarita Simonyan; funding from the Moscow Mayor's office and state-backed corporations; and many, many more interesting things exposing Ksenia herself and her media as a complete and total Kremlin tool.

Yet, does the Western media learn anything from this? Nope. The Economist article with Russian oligarch Andrey Melnichenko shows exactly how much nonsense they are ready to swallow if you wave a chance to write a sensation in front of their noses.

Maybe it's time to stop and think about whether your sensationalism feeds your own citizens with foreign propaganda and helps an invading state wage a war and keep murdering civilians daily.

Is anyone surprised? She’s Putin’s goddaughter- she was at the Biennale, Caolan filmed her there, if I remember correctly.

Those of us in the west must understand the Kremlin fosters a degree of dissent and opposition to give Russians a pretext to believe the system is not rigged. It's a radical mistake to think Sobchak running against Putin in 2018 demonstrated she's an independent voice.

she never ran against putin, her godfather and hidden supporter during all her life.

This is her in her apartment, paid for out of the Sverdlovsk Region budget.

The NYT profile on Sobchak was never journalism. It was a Kremlin resume submitted for Western publication. Every editor who approved it should be asked one question: did you verify anything, or did the word "Putin critic" make you stop thinking?
quote:

'some liberals call her a Kremlin stooge' as if that was up for debate. Just constant normalization of the worst people.
quote:

I agree. Resistance in ruzzia is futule. It must be completely dismantled into pieces.

Old Soviet VHF band radar. Operates around 150-160 MHz. Probably makes using handheld VHF handheld radios impossible nearby. Russia must be running short. Now they are running shorter.

Introduced in 1959 and superseded in 1982. That says something about the scale of losses of more modern radar systems, if they're bringing this antique back into service.

France is also Ukraine's main partner in the project to develop the Freya anti-ballistic missile.

This is the current state of Russian AD. And Ukraine will get blamed for the resulting civilian deaths and injuries.

Bakhmut was the scene of very heavy fighting a couple of years ago. It's where Wagner was deployed and got decimated, causing their eventual mutiny.
That's the Russian mir. "Steal what you can, destroy the rest."

Add to that, "illl Zelenaky glazer".

I dropped that phrase into Google Translate and the response was, "How much is this guy drinking, anyway?"
Yup, they're desperate. :lol:
