Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[Viet]

Wars rarely go to plan. Best option is too go all in.

Russia has 200,000 men in fighting. That’s too little for a war against a country size of Ukraine.
If Putin makes general mobilization he can add 700,000 men.
Special military operation is over.
I am curious why he will call this war?

The West's ‘rules for thee but not for me’​

• India’s External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar artfully exposes the European and American hypocrisy and pointless moral posturing about so-called rules-based liberal international order

It is Britain’s talking point du jour. Foreign Secretary Liz Truss on Wednesday warned China that “countries must play by the rules. And that includes China.”
That came a day after similar finger-wagging from British chief of defence staff Admiral Tony Radakin. “What China needs to … observe is, when you transgress these international rules, this world order, it leads to all kinds of consequences,” he said.
All this moral posturing is getting tiresome, though they may be forgiven for following the same script as Washington. Of course, those rules were devised by Western powers over the decades, which feel free to break or to enforce them. Serbia, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Yemen; the global war on terror and the war on drugs across Latin America. The hypocrisy is just too glaring and stomach-turning.

Not really. Spanish conquered Latin America with only a few thousands soldiers. It is technology that counts in modern war.

New model of what? Hunting washing machine, shoes, womenswear? Very regrettable chinese support the war of aggression. It’s better if the government spokesman just shuts the mouth. That’s not their business.

Go home and STOP trolling.

This subject is beyond cheerleader.

You obviously dont know history...


The spanish never conquered latin america. The Inka Empire was at a civil war between Atahualpa and Huascar. The spanish conquered areas west of the andes in that regard. Entire Patagonia was not westernized until late in19th century. The entire amazon bassin is still not fully implemented into modern states even today.

Russian energy giant to quit foreign exchanges​

Published: 29 Apr 2022

Gazprom says it will delist its depository receipts to comply with a new law

Russia’s state-owned gas company Gazprom said on Friday it was delisting its depository receipts from international stock exchanges after the Russian government refused to agree on their further circulation.

According to a statement on the company’s website, holders will have the “right to convert them into ordinary shares.”

Gazprom also said it has notified the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority of its intention to cancel standard listing on the London Stock Exchange (LSE). The company has also asked the LSE and the Singapore Exchange to delist its depositary receipts within 20 business days.

Under a new law, the securities of Russian companies can be traded on foreign trading floors only with special permission by Russian authorities.

Last month, LSE blocked trading in 27 Russian corporations, including EN+, Gazprom, Lukoil, Rosneft, and Sberbank. The blacklist was part of Western efforts to cut Russia off from the international financial markets in response to Moscow’s military operation in Ukraine.

Who troll and cheerleader? I hope you get some rubles from Putin. Or he pays you in dollars from the $1.2 billion budget? The money he spends on propaganda and disinformation per year.

I have repeatedly warned you to
STOP TROLLING and GO HOME.

Ruble hits two-year high against euro​

Published: 29 Apr 2022
The Russian currency also strengthened its position against the dollar, climbing back to pre-conflict levels

The Russian ruble rose to its strongest position since March 2020 against the European single currency, paring some gains after the Bank of Russia cut interest rates.

On Friday, the ruble hit over 74 to the euro, and headed towards 70 to the dollar in Moscow trade.
Earlier in the day, the Russian central bank cut its key interest rate to 14% in the latest attempt to boost lending in the sanction-hit economy.

Part of the divergence with the euro may be attributed to a decline in the single currency which has seen a major sell-off this week. The euro is currently hovering around a five-year low against the dollar with fears over the growth outlook for the eurozone as the impacts of Russia-Ukraine conflict begin to spill over.

The Russian currency had previously dropped to historic lows amid sanctions placed on Moscow in response to its military operation in Ukraine. In early March, the ruble plunged to as low as 150 to the dollar but has since nearly doubled in value.

Euro crashes to five-year low​

Energy uncertainty weakens the European currency


The euro plummeted to a five-year low against the US dollar during Wednesday’s trading, amid heightened fears of a possible energy crisis and an economic slowdown in Europe.

As of 11:01am GMT, the euro/dollar exchange rate was down to $1.061 from the previous closing level of $1.0636. Earlier in the day’s trading, the index fell to $1.0586, dropping below $1.06 for the first time since April 2017.

The euro weakened further after Russian energy giant Gazprom cut off gas supplies to Poland and Bulgaria over their refusal to pay in rubles, leading to uncertainty about the bloc’s energy security.

In March, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that payments for natural gas supplies to the European Union and other countries that had imposed sanctions on Russia, were to be made in the Russian currency. The new payment mechanism has now been implemented, the Kremlin announced on Tuesday.

If Russia needs, China can supply AH4 howitzers and 155 mm rounds to Russia via rail. It is to China's advantage to bog down America in Ukraine in a permanent war.

US is far from bogged down, Ukraine is being supplied by 40+ countries not just the US. And with the exception of some trainers no active combat units in Ukraine. Unless maybe your talking about NATO's plan to establish permanent forward bases in eastern NATO countries now?
