The last traunch was for something like 75000 artillery shells and more himars missiles, those shells might last them 10 days and the Himars are insanely expensive - too expensive to fire except at big targets - $5 million per missile and the battery fires 6-8 at a time, so if they fire a salvo from 2 or 3 launchers at a time(to increase the chances of success) it might cost $100 million.

just today the russians claimed they knocked out 5 launchers - we only sent them 16-20 total.

UKRAINIAN forces were accused of shelling residential areas of the eastern city of Donetsk on Saturday night with hundreds of so-called petal mines littering the streets in the aftermath.

The tiny bombs, which are shaped like small flowers, were found in the centre of Donetsk, areas close to the city’s university, recreational areas and others.

Journalist Eva Bartlett, based in Ukraine, heard the shelling start on Saturday night.

“This morning I saw these mines in a heavily populated western Donetsk district,” she said. “They tear off limbs but don’t necessarily kill. Nasty war crimes to add to the list of Ukraine’s manifold war crimes.”

Local authorities issued a warning to residents asking them to “watch your step carefully, walk only on asphalt” and to call emergency services if they spot one of the deadly mines.

Civilians were advised to only walk on open routes and to avoid shortcuts after the latest attack as the mines are difficult to spot in grass or other areas.

The Lepestok cluster mines are banned under international humanitarian law and their use is deemed a war crime under the Geneva Convention.

They were widely used in Afghanistan where children often mistook them for toys, and were seriously injured or killed after handling them.

On Saturday, Donetsk authorities said that a large number of the petal mines were found by a school in the city’s Kirov district.

The overnight shelling occured shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ordered troops and civilians to urgently evacuate from Donetsk.

Transport networks were suspended across the city today as clear-up operations were under way.

 For various reasons US is not going to see 1 penny back..If Ukraine still exist, the most reach provinces will be a part of Russia. The rest is shit! On top of that since 2014 coup Ukraine is been borrowing money like crazy. There is no way they can pay it back, it will take them 1000 years.

The annexation elections will be held in a month or two, i expect russia will annex all of ukraine from Kharkiv south and then west to include the odessa area. What's left of ukraine will be poor and landlocked. russia will control 70%+ of ukraines GDP.

Biden's done a masterful job in strengthening NATO. Adding Fins and Sweds. Whereas Benedict Donald tried to destroy NATO. 

Ukrainian bombs Kremlin strongholds in Southern Ukraine.  Lots of praise coming from military experts in Europe for Ukrainian loyalists living in Kremlin occupied territory in Crimea.  Word is Ukraine is just warming up in the Southern and Eastern occupied parts of Ukraine.  Yesterday Ukraine hit a couple of grand slams.

Reports of nine Russian warplanes destroyed in Crimea blasts.

USA intel reports over 80,000 Russian troops killed or injured. 

Russia's economy is crumbling.

I don't think their economy is crumbling, but their war machine is certainly taking a good bit of losses.  Russia's economy was never good.

I heard from a professional their economy was crumbling?

You got any numbers on their inflation. I heard from similar professionals it's out of control.

I do not.  Without looking probably around 14-15%

russia is doing great, sanctions failed, their foreign reserves have tripled over levels from a yr ago, with oil and gas prices being sky high they are rolling in dough.

It was an adjustment period but they are in a far better position than europe for example.
