War with Russia

Old power lines providing electricity to Murmansk collapse in this very cold winter.
This means the major nuclear submarine port and the whole town is without power, so no point hitting it with drones.

Thousands of Aeroflop flights cancelled as a) the -31 deg conditions are causing havoc plus b) the Ukrainians hacked the ticketing system.

Russians completely withdrawing from Syria:

While the world (and most of this forum) are pre occupied by the new Oligarch Republic of Christians and Zionists (they'll come to blows eventually and we will cover it on here at great length) and the wannabe Oligarch Republic of Christians and Zionists, Ukraine resumes normal service. By this, I mean a resumption in strikes on oil production. There was a sensation for some reason.
Last night, the Slavyansk Eco refinery was hit. Updated Bingo board:

Emergency declared in Murmansk as power cut continues. 650,000 people are without power in extra-ordinarily cold winter.

I misread "Murmansk" as "Mumsnet" and thought "That's probably not such a bad thing really".

Russian army recruitment and deployment.
Have a look at the two men in the centre of this shot... on crutches.

If you can get around the heavy accent, 'the Russian dude' is very articulate (@Blazing Saddles for another news source?).
HDRM Russian style. Human disposable resource management

In the good news category, Donnie has got India to stop buying oil from Russia. Russia's resources diminishing further. 🤞
Credit where it is due.

I don't think that Trump had that much to do with it.
Russia tried to do a deal with India with oil @$26 per barrel?! Such is their desperation.
I am pretty sure Van der Leyen* laid the grounds for this one on her recent visit.
As Russia is sanctioned, it wasn't in India's best interest to deal with a country under sanctions and showing all the hall marks of an impending financial crash. It's about stable supply too for them. Russia's refinery's and delivery networks are under constant attack.

*Do a deal with us but...

Ah well, that's how it is being presented. Might as well give him a gold star if the end result is gained.
(I am unaware of the small print behind the EU deal and they don't shout from the rooftops)

It's hardly going to be broadcast. The EU are funding Ukraine so India's Russian links can't sit alongside that, trade with the EU and global sanctions.

Dunno. The UK were quite happy with those circumstances.
