    Bakhmut is still undecided.
    Apparently Ukraine has re established a route to pull out via the bridge the Ukrainians blew up.
    And the Russians are putting more effort NW of Bakhmut.

    It might be that the Ukrainians have rotated troops in Bahkmut and want to stay as the number of soldiers they can kill is “worth” holding on.

    That is the official exchange rate. My understanding is that is being propped up by the RUS government, A LOT.

    If RUS is spending 400M USD to take out strategic bus stops, I wonder how long they can keep that up.
    They completely stop striking civilian infrastructure and then start again.
    ISW says it’s because they run out of appropriate weapons and have to wait for more.
    Lets hope that the western tanks and such are involved by sometime in April for a pushback in the summertime.

    I think there is more of a chance for this thing to be negotiated to end once Ukraine starts taking large swaths of their territory again. And hopefully Ukraine stops when they have what they want back again. I know the Russian people back Putin but I don’t want the Ukrainians to kill civilians and strike civilian infrastructure within Russia. (on purpose like Russia has done)

    942 million rubles is like 5 bucks. There’s not a currency in the world more worthless than the ruble
    No, man, you are counting it wrong. You need to think of it as a toilet oaper. And 942 million is uva lot toilet paper. Might even be a liftime supply.

    They can't dribs and drabs attack anymore, they have to launch swarms to overwhelm UKR air defenses.

    Russia had to wait about
    4 weeks to launch a swarm.

    Yep, especially since they have tight capital controls. Limits on how much you can exchange per month, how much you can move out of the country, etc.

    To be sure, China, India and others are taking the Russian oil that Europe no longer imports. But Russia is selling it at a loss. Deutsche Bank estimates that Russia is earning barely a third of its prewar fossil fuel revenues. It is also becoming increasingly expensive — roughly twice the global average — for Russia to extract it. It costs Russia $45 to extract a barrel of oil and another $12 to get it to its customers. This suits the west perfectly since we don’t want the global oil price to go up and don’t want Russia to make money. Since more than half of Russia’s budget comes from fossil fuel revenues, the government is now pillaging its rainy day funds. More extreme revenue extraction measures will surely follow.

    Lol When did I ever say any of that? My only guess is that you're projecting because my gripe with Ukraine is actually my gripe with our pol heads sending 100s of billions to that corrupt country and that twink in office there.

    Cry me a river bud. Oh and go yourself while you're at it.

    Ukraine!
