Quick update before I shoot off to the East of the West region:
In the lieu of not being able to strike oil refineries, bored Magyar's birds strike:
- Chemical plant in Novomoskovsk, This company was founded in 1933 and makes ammonia amongst other things essential for munitions.
- NLMK Novolipetsk steel works, established in 1934 . One of Russia's largets steel producing facilities. Russian steel output is estimated to be down by 89%. Hammer +steel - Stalin (meaning steel) , sickle symbolising grain.. are you lot getting this? Never mind,
- Witkoff and Kushner meet with Finland and Norway. The plan on their table is that the war stops and Ukraine allows Russian Oil and gas to be piped through the country so that Europe and the world can get cheep fuel. Meanwhile, moves to allow US oil companies in to rebuild the oil infrastructure, do deals etc. Conniving bastards.
The cycle is: allow foreign investment and then then once they build infrastructure, kick them out. This cycle has been repeated for over 150 years.
As Ukraine liberates more land, atrocities uncover. 'Yampol' a petting zoo full of Ostriches and other animals gone.
Russia strikes more Bulgarian ships as the puppet Bulgarian govt. blames Romania... ?! Bizarre farking mobsters.
Ukraine is concerned about the welfare of the residents isolated in Oleshky as they think Russia may lead them away from Ukraine and into the hands of the Russians.
More later.
