In war sacrifices have to be made and the Russian slave army is making them. The objective of the west is to destroy the Russian army with Ukrainian blood and our weapons. Russia is an imperialist country and is actually an empire of conquest, after Ukraine it will be Belarus and after that the internal republics. Ukraine and Belarus will cause liberal democracy in Russia, an iron curtain through the Slavic cultural world is impossible to implement. Russia cannot survive as a liberal democracy, it will lead to the dissolution of Russia.A friend in the UK said his grow light cost three times as much to use as it did a year ago. He's not sure he can run his lights any more. Back to buying herb.
Take that, Putin.
At least he doesn't live in Finland, where they are burning their pets to keep warm now.
Good thing, too, because they'll be eating them soon.
The West might be sitting in the dark, starving in a few years, but as long as it hurt's Vlad's feelings, it'll be worth it.
Maybe, if you have an extra dollar, invest in the Ruble.

Can't help but notice the ruble is headed the way of the Zimbabwe dollar and their country looks to be falling apart.A friend in the UK said his grow light cost three times as much to use as it did a year ago. He's not sure he can run his lights any more. Back to buying herb.

Security Service of Ukraine: Russians ready to kill their generals that force soldiers to fight
The Security Service of Ukraine has evidence that Russian contract soldiers refuse to participate in the offensive because they are suffering significant losses.
Details: According to the intelligence service, Russian contract soldiers in the Donetsk region have come close to shooting their general (district commander) Valeriy Solodchuk and his bodyguards, who arrived to quell the riot and force the "rejecters" to continue fighting.
The soldiers refused to obey the order and were ready to blow up the "high ranking guests." Therefore, the Russian general shamefully fled from the front line.
A member of the Russian military complains in a conversation with his wife that only a third of their brigade (over 600 people) remains, the rest have been killed or wounded.
Quote: "We have almost the entire battery refusing to fight. He [the general - ed.] began to wave the barrel, shoot: ‘I, he says, will kill you if you, do not f*ing go there! ... ‘ That was that. Here's a kid: ‘Go on, he says, kill us!’ F*ck, he got a grenade, pulled a pin out and says: ‘Come on, shoot me! He says, let's explode here together, he says.’
That’s that. Then the special forces also started poking at us with barrels, we poked the barrels back at them. In short, we all nearly f*ing shot each other. He got into his car, left… After these f*ing words, I don't want to stay here at all!"
Previously: The Security Service of Ukraine has released a hotline number - 2402 - for Russian occupiers seeking a way out of the war.
We remind you that the 90-day timeline set by the Putin regime for the so-called "special operation" runs out at the end of May. Russian contract soldiers who came to fight in Ukraine in February have grounds to "legally" leave the service. According to the Security Service of Ukraine, Russian contract soldiers are dreaming of leaving Ukraine.
UK says Russia suffers devastating losses among lower-ranked officers
LONDON (Reuters) - Russia appears to have suffered devastating losses amongst mid- and junior-ranking officers in its conflict with Ukraine, raising the prospect of weaker military effectiveness in future, Britain's defence ministry said on Monday.
Brigade and battalion commanders were probably deploying to the most dangerous positions while junior officers have had to lead low-level tactical actions, the ministry said on Twitter in its latest Defence Intelligence update.
"With multiple credible reports of localised mutinies amongst Russia's forces in Ukraine, a lack of experienced and credible platoon and company commanders is likely to result (in) a further decrease in morale and continued poor discipline," it said.
The loss of younger officers was likely to exacerbate Russia's problems in modernising its military command and control, the ministry said.
"More immediately, battalion tactical groups which are being reconstituted in Ukraine from survivors of multiple units are likely to be less effective due to a lack of junior leaders," it said.
Russian forces intensified attacks on Monday to capture Sievierodonetsk, a key city in Ukraine's southeastern Donbas region which Moscow is targeting having failed to take the capital Kyiv early in the war.

Armies collapse and crack under the strain, the lower the morale, the lower that point is, in terms of losses, if people believe what they are fighting for and their homes and families, it makes a big difference. Morale comes from the word moral, it is important to fight for what you believe is right and important, they say it makes a 3 to 1 difference in battle, motivation and a willingness to die are big factors.The only hope is people.
yeah i see that coming too.....By the time they get to sell any of it Ukraine will have displaced their European market and demand will drop like a stone in a decade with EVs, green new grids with energy storage and renewables. It might remain in the ground like coal, with a steadily dwindling price on international markets. EVs are coming and most cars and light Trucks will be electric, because they will be cheaper to buy and run than ICE vehicles, which will be as hard to find, as old fashioned TVs are today.
