Feedback on the Russian BMP-3 of the commander of the assault group of marines, reinforced with BMP-3 armored vehicles.

Published footage of the interception of Ukrainian missiles by the MLRS, the Russian Pantsir-S air defense system. It is not known which Ukrainian MLRS fired, MLRS M270 or M142 HIMARS. Flashes the moment of interception of missiles.

Footage of the impact of the Russian kamikaze drone "Lancet" in the P-18 all-round radar of Ukraine in the Kherson region. The P-18 all-round radar was put into service in 1970 and is designed to detect air targets and determine the nationality of air objects. The Ukrainian army has repeatedly upgraded the radar.

Footage of a large-scale attack by the Ukrainian army near the village of Peski on the positions of the Russian "Somalia" unit and the 11th regiment. As noted, the attack was organized quite competently. The Ukrainian army, taking advantage of the lack of Russian aviation, used 3 Mi-24 helicopters and armored vehicles. Ukrainian Mi-24 helicopters, not entering the air defense zone, carried out launches of unguided missiles from a pitch-up. Two T-64BV tanks supported the advance of the Shilka anti-aircraft gun and the BMP-2 armored vehicle with fire. After the defeat of the BMP-2, it later exploded, Ukrainian units began to retreat. Reportedly, after the retreat, the Ukrainian army lost part of its previously occupied positions.

Episode of the battle in Ukraine. On the Bakhmut direction in the Soledar area. An infantry fighting vehicle of the Ukrainian army was hit by a Russian ATGM crew. As a result of the battle, after an attempted offensive, the Ukrainian army reportedly suffered losses and retreated.

Russia elites are poor now. They lost villa, yachts, money.

The EU has seized their assets in Europe worth $19 billion.

Putin is extremely angry. Very very angry. He accused Germany especially Angela Merkel of betrayal, of dishonesty. Merkel reveals in an interview that Germany agreed to 2014 Ukraine/Russia peace accord, just to give Ukraine more time to prepare for the war against Russia.
Had Russia invade Ukraine in 2014 Ukraine had zero chance.

Russian median salary is around 1000$ and minimum is only 240$. Compare that with average Finnish salary what is over 2900€. Of course we shouldn't forget that outside few larger cities what are on same level as west (Moscow & Saint Petersburg) Russia is basically a third wold country.

I wonder if Finnish people living next to Russian border go to Russian gas stations, the saving is big enough.

The same with another products and supermarkets, like alcoholic beverages.

BTW food inflation increased after war and it doesnt decrease, well, things like raw wheat flour and sunflower oil decreased a little last months, but supermarkets products keep prices higher than before Ukraine war.

Mexico gas price is around $1.1 a litre. While Russia is about 0.9-1.0 per liter

The problem with gas price in the west is not because it is higher than say Mexico or Russia, but it is because of the tax involved. In Australia, the gas price today is 1.63/liter (around 1.10 per liter as well) That is after the Australian Government charge 46c per liter on gasoline product.

On the other hand, I don't know what the diesel price where you live, Diesel is more expensive than E10 fuel since 2015 where I lived, that have to do with environmental surcharge.

High taxs is a way to keep the consum lower, the fact is West Europe doesnt have own fossil fuel sources enough (with the exception of Norway) to keep his living standard. States could remove fuel taxs and increase another taxs in other products, but that would increase fuel consumption.

I dont know in another EU states, but in Spain diesel always was cheaper than gasoline before Ukraine war.

Diesel is harder to manufacture with non-normal-crude-oil sources like shale oil.

energy supply problems often are hidden with ecological fake arguments.

I can guarantee you no Finnish people are thinking about Finland for this. Ultimately, food represents less than 20% of household spend in the Nordics, so a 5% jump in price means negligible change. So stop worrying about the Finnish. They will have a bit less liquor, and a bit less food. They fought the Russians in WWII so a food inflation is a a bit of sacrifice that they can deal with.


Russian's, while not under attack, have had no reluctance with a million leaving. And given the chance and finances, another million would go.
