40 tons @ $100 a ton, though the price of scrap steel might become depressed because of the sudden Russian supply.

At least Russian Steel / Iron isn’t quite as bad as Chinese - Fucking Tofu Dreg buildings falling like house of cards. You can basically smack a piece on ground and half goes flying off .
Ukrainian smelters could make jewelry or sunflower shaped wind chimes ( I’d fucking buy one )

US reveals details of new aid package to Ukraine
NYT: Senator McConnell says US aid to Ukraine could help open port of O
U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has revealed details of a new aid package for Ukraine, saying it could help reopen the port of Odessa. He told the New York Times (NYT) about it .
According to him, the package is designed in such a way as to give Kiev what it needs now. “Hopefully to have some impact on reopening the port of Odessa, because the lack of Ukrainian food will be reflected throughout the Middle East and Africa,” the senator said.
On May 19, the US Senate approved a bill to allocate a record military aid package to Ukraine. The amount of support will be $40 billion. The reaction to the initiative in the United States was ambiguous: its opponents argue that the government of the country should primarily be guided by the interests of the American people, and not transfer funds "without verification and discussion."

Ukrainian official says US devising plan to destroy Russia’s Black Sea Fleet
The US is working on a plan “to destroy the Black Sea Fleet” with powerful missiles in order to unblock Ukraine’s ports, according to a high-ranking Ukrainian official.
“The effective work of the Ukrainians on warships convinced (the US) to prepare a plan to unblock the ports,” Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs adviser Anton Geraschchenko tweeted Friday. “Deliveries of powerful anti-ship weapons (Harpoon and Naval Strike Missile with a range of 250-300 km) are being discussed.”
Geraschchenko’s saber-rattling tweet — notably written in Russian — followed an exclusive report by Reuters saying the White House is in the process of putting more advanced missiles in the hands of Ukrainians to defeat Russia’s naval blockade.

Putin cannot stop the war and cannot win it. The 87th day of Russia's war against Ukraine
14,891 views May 21, 2022 The Ukrainian intelligence is sure that Putin is at an absolute dead end right now. To stop the war, he must admit that Russia is not at all the strong and great state he wanted to present. In turn, Ukraine will continue fighting until we take back all the occupied territories. Hostilities continue - Russian occupiers are attempting to destroy as much civilian and infrastructure facilities as possible. They shelled Krarkiv, Donetsk, Odesa regions during past day.

Ukraine might be arranging a little gift for Lukashenko in the future and fellow soldier partners for wise coup plotters in Belarus. Apparently it is the perfect training ground for revolutionaries and their numbers have been increasing steadily, as they and others see Russia weakening and a strong future ally in European leaning Ukraine. Poland too would be keenly interested in such an enterprise and it wouldn't surprise me if they were financing them at least.

Chinese mega-cities went up so fast that if doesn't take a rocket scientist or structural engineer to question the quality,my guess,these gleaming new cities will begin to deteriorate long before their quoted lifespan like a house of cards,it's implausible that such megatropolises housing millions in res. and comm. towers could be safely and soundly built in the time period that they were erected,I know I have my doubts and time will tell but the growth is breathtakingly stunning defying imagination.

'The Russians are determined': Ukrainian soldiers defending Donbas city try to keep up morale under fire
In most of Ukraine, Russia's war effort is slowing down, its forces losing ground after they pulled out of the north and the capital, Kyiv.
But in Lysychansk, 700 kilometres east of the capital, that is all a world away. It is here that Russia is pushing its renewed offensive in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region the hardest, concentrating its forces and slowly but surely moving forward.
Almost three months into the war, only a small sliver of Luhansk oblast, one of two main administrative regions that make up Donbas, remains under Ukrainian control. Fighting here is constant, with artillery and mortar shelling coming without end. Colossal plumes of thick black smoke rose from the Lysychansk oil refinery after it was struck repeatedly by Russian howitzers over the past week.
The mood among the Ukrainian fighters defending the city varies. One commander, who identified himself by his call sign, Spartak, was in high spirits. He leads a battalion of 350 men defending the city and Severodonetsk, which sits across the Seversky Donets River from Lysychansk. "The situation is tough," Spartak said. "Our task is to defend Luhansk, or what's left of it, but the Russians are determined."

The Do-or-Die Battle That Putin Could Actually Win
The last road into the Ukrainian city of Luhansk was in flames. A huge bonfire raged on a parking space where a group of civilian and military vehicles had parked just minutes before. Anton, our military driver, pushed the accelerator to the floor as we drove past at around 140 kilometers an hour. As we zip down the road, three Ukrainian tanks roll the other way straight to the front line.
The tiny sliver of Luhansk Oblast still under Ukrainian control is now the center of the increasingly vicious war that is entering its fourth month. On all other fronts, such as Kyiv and Kharkiv, Ukraine has enjoyed a stream of crushing victories, relieving its two main cities from the hell of Russian shelling. But here in the Donbas, Russia’s grinding advance continues. The scaling-down of Russia’s war aims from a takeover of all Ukraine to an encirclement of Ukraine’s troops in this region is little comfort to the men and women who defend the front lines.

The Russian president may finally eke out a victory after a slew of embarrassing setbacks in the war.

Let's see, they are using up weapons and equipment in Ukraine that can't be replaced and soon many of NATO's member countries will have larger economies than Russia. Russia had an economy smaller than Italy's before the war and many are saying it is about to get chopped in half with sanctions. Vlad has 80% of his land combat power in Ukraine now and if most of it ends up destroyed or captured, it will be a decade before it can be replaced if at all. His equipment is obsolete anyway, the country is isolated, economically crippled and the military needs a cultural revolution from top to bottom. Russia won't be able to project power beyond it's borders and could even have trouble doing it inside it's borders. At least that's the plan they announced.
