Ukraine - Russia Conflict



Data from the Russian GdeBENZ fuel-monitoring service shows gasoline availability in Moscow collapsing from 53% in early August to roughly 20% by mid-August and possibly lower today.
In Moscow Oblast alone, availability fell from 62% to just 23%, meaning less than 1 in 4 of the monitored stations had fuel available.In Moscow proper, only 1 in 5 monitored stations had fuel available.Nationwide, GdeBENZ reported fuel available at only 28% of tracked stations as of 19 August, while at least 59 regions had imposed fuel-sale restrictions by 20 August.The results are stark. At AM on 23 August, Moscow motorists were still waiting in long lines to fill up.
The even better news is that the current fuel shortage will have serious impacts on Russia's ability to conduct a large-scale mobilization and sustain military training and operations in Ukraine and throughout Russia.
And why is the Russian press and sheeple mostly silent on this? First, the Kremlin-run state media won't report bad news, and the sheeple won't risk ending up as Igor Strelkov's cellmate.

 
LOL. Communism is back.

Putin signed a decree on the security of critical infrastructure facilities.According to the decree, if the owners of such a facility have not ensured its protection—for example, from drone strikes—the facility passes to the state under "temporary" management.Do you get it?The list of critical infrastructure facilities includes practically everything—industrial production, fuel and energy sector structures, transport, logistics, communications, utilities, and so on.And now, with a single stroke of Putin's pen, the state can seize all of this for itself.


 
"They hate us fiercely, and it's precisely the Russian-speaking people!"In Russia, they are gradually realizing that Russian-speaking Ukrainians do not want to be "liberated" and hate Russia no less than Ukrainian-speaking ones do.In fact, the propagandists themselves have refuted one of Putin's main theses, with which he justified the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.No one in Ukraine is waiting for the Russian army—even those who speak Russian consider Russians occupiers and enemies.
 
The first instance of a Ukrainian FP-5 cruise missile being hit by machine-gun fire from the Russian mobile fire group "BARS-Kursk" has been recorded. The video was filmed in Russia's Kursk region. Analysis of the flight controller data revealed that the missile was launched from Ukraine's Sumy region and was targeting a strategic facility in the Tula region. The wreckage of the missile, bearing bullet holes, is shown at the end of the video.
