Nobody wants to enforce Putin's rules but if they don't they get conscripted or worse, so this is the result. SOmebody just needs to kill the little bald dude and his drunk mascot.Manpower shortage affects the Russian police. Makes sense, since the average policeman profile is also a perfect conscript profile.
So they lack about 150 000 people to fight minor offenses such as theft, murder, rape, etc. However, don't worry, the really serious crimes are still being fought fiercely:
His paying them with inflation coin."Russia is not going to run out of meat," allegedly.
But is that money sufficient? Perhaps not.
On the other hand, it's already too much:
Russian taxes rise to fund war effort
The Kremlin has announced plans to increase taxes on the incomes of the wealthiest citizens and corporate profits. This reform is designed to finance the growing expenditures associated with the conflict in Ukraine.www.lemonde.fr
Meanwhile, the number of Russians with disabilities has increased by 500 000 since the start of the war.
Needless to say, Russia is not exactly a country that cares about accessibility for disabled and handicapped people. So that's going to be fun.
The Danish government announced that Ukrainian troops will be able to use Danish F-16 fighter jets for strikes on the territory of the aggressor country of Russia. This position was approved in the Danish Parliament.
They are not waiting for US approval the issue is Mordor is no longer using that bridge to supply Crimea with IADS and other weapon systems so taking it out will only be eye candy but no strategic value anymore. Also it makes sure Russian civilians can't leave Crimea.
It does cost Russia money to fix though.They are not waiting for US approval the issue is Mordor is no longer using that bridge to supply Crimea with IADS and other weapon systems so taking it out will only be eye candy but no strategic value anymore.

Czech MoD bought 80,000 x 120mm heavy mortar shells and 50,000 x 125mm tank shells from India's MIL.

Most of Czechia's Soviet-origin tank platforms (which use 125mm shells) have already been transferred to Ukraine, so if these rounds are indeed going to Ukraine I've no idea how they plan on circumventing these End-User rules.
Even if they don't, the Czechs plan on upgrading & keeping a few dozen of their T-72M4CZs for quite a while so I guess that's for what these shells are for.
However, the fresh sales would still free up the Czechs to transfer whatever 125mm ammo they already have to Ukraine.
Fancy producing a million or two a year, there's good money in it.
