Only a moron would think Russia is the one suffering.

Doesn't much matter if your export balance was so very much higher than your import balance. Russia has full stores and lots of cheap gas.
And TONS of foreign currency because everyone has to conclude sale in Rubles.
They can spend the money every country in Europe is begging them to take.
Volgograd showed empty store shelves with toilet paper and towels

As reported by Bloknot Volgograd, residents of the region can no longer fail to notice how rapidly the assortment in supermarkets is depleting. This time the attention of the reader Anna P. from Volgograd was attracted by the shelves, which usually contain toilet paper and towels.

- There is no way to disguise the fact that there is almost no choice left. The paper stands with large gaps. These rolls grab like hot cakes, I confess, I myself took 12 pieces for 320 rubles - it's very cheap now, - said the woman.

Volgograd residents are embarrassed by the fact that Essity, a personal care product manufacturer, has previously announced its withdrawal from Russia due to the situation in Ukraine. It is this company that produces, among other things, Zewa toilet paper, which is very popular among our compatriots. And Volgograd residents are waiting with horror for what will happen when the company's goods run out in warehouses, if, with their presence, the shelves are already gaping with voids.

The special operation requires a lot of money, said Siluanov

Russia's special military operation in Ukraine requires huge financial resources. This, according to "Interfax" , said the Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation Anton Siluanov.

“There are huge funds for pension provision: 600 billion this year, next year - one trillion, and the same volumes in the future. Money for conducting a special operation - huge resources are also needed. Citizens also need money to support the economy, the total amount of the so-called budget stimulus that we launched into the economy is eight trillion rubles. Huge funds. We need these resources to support the economy, support our citizens,” Siluanov said at a lecture at the Financial University.

Earlier, retired Russian general Vladimir Shamanov called one of the main mistakes made by the Russian command in the course of preparing a special military operation in Ukraine. He added that later Russia "managed to overcome this component."

On May 20, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian government Marat Khusnullin said that it had created an operational headquarters to coordinate work to restore the liberated territories of Donbass and Ukraine. According to him, the tasks of the headquarters include the restoration of all roads and destroyed housing, as well as the economy of the affected territories.

And wait until the final bill comes. Russia will be paying for reconstruction on its side of the conflict and the Ukrainian side.

Except Russia has the needed elements to make the batteries.
Oooops, screwed again by bad planning!
Nope, new battery tech does not require any of it, just the ones used now, but not next year or the year after. Russia got shit and Putin fucked himself and mother Russia, he might as well have nuked himself FFS!

BTW we've got lot's of nickel in Canada too, but there won't be much demand, even for motors of EVs much less the batteries. Lithium sulfur, solid state and Aluminum/air graphene are among the leading contenders in the near term for batteries along with lithium phosphate and sodium based chemistries that are on the market. Not just cars though these technologies make energy storage possible and renewables much more feasible.

After expending much of its military and becoming a world pariah to gain an extra 5% of the Donbas territory.

Matvienko: Russia is ready to sign peace agreements with Ukraine
Russia is ready to negotiate with Ukraine and sign peace agreements. This was announced by the speaker of the Federation Council Valentina Matviyenko.

“We are open to negotiations. I fully agree with your position that diplomatic, peaceful solutions are needed, but this requires will from both sides. We confirm that we are ready for negotiations, for signing agreements that would end the civil war in Ukraine and lead to peace, but we do not see such a backlash from Kyiv,” Matviyenko said during a meeting with Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi , reports TASS.

At the same time, she added that before the start of the special operation in Ukraine, Russia was constantly negotiating with the United States and Western countries demanding to ensure a single, indivisible security on the European continent, but Moscow did not receive an “adequate answer”. “After when Ukraine demanded to become a nuclear state and when we saw how the military development of Ukrainian territory is going on, how it is being saturated with a huge amount of weapons, including offensive weapons, and knowing that a third armed offensive against the Donetsk and Lugansk regions is being prepared, of course, we were left with no other choice, no other choice to ensure our safety,” Matviyenko concluded.

Russia has been conducting a special operation in Ukraine since the end of February . Russian President Vladimir Putin noted that the priority of the Russian army is to exclude unnecessary victims among civilians and strike at the military infrastructure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. After the start of the special operation, the parties held several rounds of negotiations, but they did not lead to anything. As the head of the Russian delegation, Vladimir Medinsky, noted, Ukraine itself decided to freeze negotiations with Russia. At the end of May, Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine, said that so far Ukraine and Russia could not legally sign a peace treaty.

Yup. Ukraine has more military equipment then before Russia invaded. Russia has shown itself to be a third rate military. Putin did the oposite of trump, he united Nato and added Sweden and Finland into Nato's arms.

Winning!

The Ukrainians have an army of about 200K actual fighters as of 2021, but they have over 11 million men able to serve, and most of them are willing...the russians have about 280,000 in their army, and they have no marine force equivalent, all their ground troops are in the army. they have twice yearly drives where they "recruit" about 130k troops for one year terms. they've already burnt through at least 25% of their original invasion forces, at least the same amount of men killed as in ten years of war in Afghanistan, not counting those wounded badly enough to be out of the fight...if you add those together, they lost at least 21,000, up to 45,000....and that was a month ago...pretty soon, they're going to be sending children to murder children.
If they get control of Donbas, they can't keep it, the Ukrainians will never stop, there will be nightly raids...every morning there will be a new list of patrols that didn't come back, men found dead in their quarters, equipment, fuel, and ammunition stolen or destroyed nightly...every day there will be losses to drones and ieds...the only way out for putin AND russia is to withdraw now and willingly pay for all reparations, or it will be a meat grinder for an endless stream of young russian men, until there are no young russian men to send

Lithium is a metal Russia was supplying to the world but seeing that Russia does not want to be a peace loving country there will be other mines opening up soon enough. Canada has lithium deposits, the Americans have also. Australia is the biggest exporter of Lithium. Sorry, Russia.

Ukrainian gas will, when they replace Russian gas, Ukraine has lot's of gas and oil, Norway and demark have gas too. Have a look at the video I posted on Russian oil today and cure your ignorance. Ukraine has plenty of undeveloped gas and oil and once they destroy the Russian army this summer, the Russians will be gone from Crimea too and the oil companies will move back in. Whatever Russia made off Europe, Ukraine will and they will use the pipelines that once carried Russian gas to do it. Russia will be completely fucked, their seized money will pay for the war damage and Ukraine will get their gas revenue while their economy is isolated, sanctioned and fucked.

Seen a video ( should have posted it ) of a ukrainian ambush on a vehicle convoy of orcs ( Russian POV ) .
It was a mess - taking fire and no one telling them how and where to position. POV IDIOT would show barrel of his automatic weapon freely “ facing “ his comrades ( no weapon discipline) numerous times as their team wanders and stands along berm. Most of the squad was turned away from actual Ukrainian fire and aimlessly cower without cover.

It was insane that camera view was literally their gun barrel swinging back to and from their own guys - amazingly nobody was shot .
Reminds me of those ol’ paintball games I used to play with guys that never have done it. They cluster together .
‘This vid sort of like my previous post above …..
