It appears more European allies are leaning in to deliver more patriots to Ukraine. Greece delivering two, let's see what Spain, Sweden and so on do. They're not front line nations in NATO and can likely live with waiting a year or two for a back-fill. Italy and France have great shorter range systems that are also likely going to be looked at.

The Central Russian Bank sets the interest rate tomorrow.  Its widely expected to hold the present 16% rate. 

Record low unemployment and widespread labour shortages are fueling inflation.  Imported goods continue to spiral in price.  Record manufacturing outputs (ammunition) are bolstering the economy in the short term but killing it in the long term.  

The ruble is untouchable for most of the world and is only being kept alive by false exchange rates and draconian currency control.  

Good job Putin.  Keep it up.  👏

OK here's one from leftfield, Belarus are claiming they came under attack in Minsk from drones launched by Lithuania

Quote

MOSCOW (Reuters) - The head of the Belarusian security service said on Thursday it had thwarted an attack on the capital Minsk by drones launched from Lithuania, Russian state news agencies said.

There was no immediate comment from NATO-member Lithuania.

There's also this. The US won't let Ukraine hit Russia so they're making their own.

Can the Ukraine not just us ATACMS to hit targets inside Russia and then claim it was their own Neptune missile? The missile isn't going to be identifiable mid-flight....

Missile debris is often identified, especially ones that malfunction or are shot down mid flight.

Think the Americans would do their nut if one of their missiles was identified in Russian territory.

Dzhankoi hit last night. The Russians aren't even trying to lie about it anymore. When they write 'large explosions rocked the airfield at Dzhankoi it's probably quite large.

ATACMS or Scalp\Storm Shadow.

Russia have used cluster warheads on Odessa. Europe 2024 folks. Several people hit, including a dog while jogging with its owner.

Time to consider sending in the troops and see if Russia dares attack NATO personnel. This can't go on.

Spoiler

 

Hidden the content in case people don't want to see it.

If we haven't already, it's time to restore the tranche 1 and 2 typhoons (if there are any left), fast track training of Ukrainian pilots and get them everything they need. Tired of the drip feed.

Generally Prosecutor Andriy Kostin on the attack on Odesa:

Russia cynically disregards all norms of international humanitarian law. Last night, the enemy sneakily attacked Odesa. Five people died, more than 30 were injured. Among the injured are two children and a pregnant woman. Five wounded are in extremely serious condition.

The strike was carried out by an Iskander ballistic missile with a cluster warhead. It is an indiscriminate weapon, the use of which can lead to significant casualties among the civilian population. In a radius of 1.5 km from the site of the shelling, metal fragments and debris of the rocket were recovered. The investigation has reason to believe that the decision to use such a weapon was made by the officers of the russian federation deliberately in order to kill as many peaceful Ukrainians as possible.

The investigation is ongoing. We will find and punish those who issue criminal orders to shell peaceful Ukrainian cities.

Ukraine gets aid, Russia bombs joggers, pregnant women, kids and dogs with ballistic missiles with cluster warheads.

That time was a long time ago, before ~200k people were killed for example. Some woman's dog dying is the least horrific thing that has happened in the war.
