Ukraine - Russia Conflict

Us interest rate is at 0.5%, Russian rate is 14% and inflation 23%. The US have plenty of room for manoeuvre.

UA seems to have taken Kherson.

Artillery of the 59th separate motorized infantry brigade named after Yakov Gandziuk
in a counter-battery duel, three SAUrons of the Russians were killed
 
Ukranian artillery is carrying this war for them. UAV +Artillery is a deadly combination in modern war and Russian forces are having a hard time overcoming this challenge.
It's more like American intelligence that is assisting them Ukrainian artillery is mediocre for all purposes. But thanks to American intelligence they have a far better picture of the battle space than the Russians. Shows how important a good cluster of satellite constellations, sigint, aewcs, surveillance aircrafts can give you. And we are still stuck at procuring fighters.

All very true. Without US assistance this war would be going way more favorable for Russia but Russia would still have to deal with the fighting spirit of Ukraine forces. It's about to get much uglier for Russian forces as Ukraine deploys their new US/NATO Arty and rocket Arty which have much longer range than anything currently Ukraine has deployed. Many of these arty shells and rockets are GPS guided which will give Ukraine an CAS style capability.

Ukraine will likely go on the offensive this summer with their new toys.

no inflation in US ?

Still single digit. 7.9% for this year. Large difference from 23%.

oh yeah, with -ve gdp growth they are doing great.

Negative growth isn't even a new thing for Russia.

 
A HUGE ball of flames erupts at a Russian chemical plant in what could be the latest act of sabotage against the Kremlin’s invasion. Massive explosions ripped through large rail tankers containing solvents at a factory in Dzerzhinsk. The city, about 250 miles east of Moscow, has been dubbed the most polluted place in the world. Plumes of billowing smoke followed massive explosions around 11am on Wednesday. More than 150 emergency workers spent nine hours battling the blaze over 2,500 square metres.


Good Job.

NATO can still do better. More surveillance can lead to even killing of the Kilos when they surface.
I'm wondering now did they get the ship name wrong when they first said the 'Admiral Makarov', or are two ships hit?


An impressive sea victory! Russian frigate is on fire: Neptune in action again? - details!
