The rail bridge across the Kerch Strait is still not full carrying capacity, so heavier loads have to be carried by ship. A car ferry has considerable capacity for weight and physical volume.

Slovakia and Hungary Outraged Over Ukraine Halting Oil Deliveries. Both countries have been aiding #Ukraine through diesel shipments, but now are facing an immediate “fuel crisis” in return.

'Lukoil' is a Russian oil company.  It is the Russians who have decided to cease exporting gasoline.  I would be a shock to me if Russia had been exporting gasoline through Ukraine this entire time.  It doesn't make sense that Ukraine would allow that.

The big lesson of the 1970s energy crisies was energy security.

Any nation that received energy from Russia should have anticipated that the supply would be unavailable after Russia invaded Ukraine.

Ukraine is not yet a member of the E.U., yet.

Why would Ukraine want to facilitate Russia receiving income by transiting energy through its territory via pipeline?

It is European nations' fault for being too dependent on any one supplier of energy, especially Russia.

Unless Hungary and Slovakia yearn to return to the days of the Stalinist Warsaw Pact, they need to find multiple alternate energy suppliers.  Good luck with building new fossil-fuel pipelines with the Global Climate Change Greens running Europe.

Russia is offering Moscow residents a record $22,000 to fight in Ukraine

Mariya Knight and Kathleen Magramo  |  July 24, 2024  |  6:11 AM EDT

Authorities in the city of Moscow are offering a record signing-on bonus for new recruits to fight in Ukraine, in the latest sign of a scramble to boost Russian troop numbers.

The financial sweetener comes as President Vladimir Putin struggles to recruit soldiers for his army as Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine grinds on in its third year.

Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin introduced the one-time signing bonus of 1.9 million rubles (about $22,000) for city residents who join the military, according to a statement on Tuesday.

Anyone taking up the offer would earn as much as 5.2 million rubles ($59,600) in their first year of service, the statement added.

Those willing to join the fight in Ukraine can also receive one-time cash payments of about $5,690-$11,390 for injuries, “depending on the severity,” and the family of a soldier killed in action could be paid $34,150.

While Russia’s casualty numbers remain shrouded in secrecy, estimates say the death toll among troops is high. More than 70,000 soldiers were likely killed or wounded in May and June alone  .  .  .

Mentioned further up stream of this thread, the removal of Russia from the Security Council of the United Nation is a good idea.  So, why hasn't anyone in our lame government made that proposal?

Could it be that the military industrial complex that have a lot to say about what is done by this nation does not want that?  After all, all five founding states of the Security Council are the leading producers of weapons in the world.  We must keep that well lubricated for those five states, including Russia.

Makes no sense to impose sanctions and still keep Russia on the Security Council of the UN.  Time for Russia to go.

Trump would be wise to indicate if he becomes POTUS, Russia will be shut down in every facet of economic life until their war ends with Ukraine.

Russian Soldiers Forced to Surrender Gadgets Over Leaked Personnel Losses

IVAN KHOMENKO  |  Jul 24, 2024  |  18:13

In a bid to curb the widespread leaks about their mounting losses in Ukraine, Russian authorities have decided to confiscate gadgets from their occupying forces. This measure, reported by the Center for National Resistance, aims to restrict communication capabilities among the troops.

The move comes in response to numerous leaks revealing heavy casualties, withholding of payments and systemic abuse soldiers are experiencing inside the Russian. According to reports, soldiers have been using their devices to communicate these losses back home.

The Russian State Duma has mandated that any soldier caught with a gadget will face disciplinary detention of up to 10 days. This new directive is seen as a direct reaction to the flow of sensitive information, which has exposed the grim reality of Russia’s war against Ukraine.

Troops have reportedly been complaining to their families about severe rights violations by their commanders, the non-payment of promised wages, significant casualties, and their reluctance to “die in Ukrainian fields.”

“Such 'news' occasionally leads to mothers or wives of the 'heroes' raising inconvenient questions to the authorities  .  .  .

Oppressing and harassing Crimean Tatars? A Russian tradition since Russia took over Crimea around the reign of Katherine the Great (died in 1796). Unsurprisingly, Stalin continued the tradition with mass exilings, though some were eventually allowed and able to return.

Common usage slang is difficult for translation services.

Words like 'cool' have different meanings and are often mistranslated from English to whatever and vice versa.

What we're seeing as 'gadget' is likely the Russian colloquialism for cell phones.

True. For example, common US usage is "cell phone"; common UK usage is "mobile". My daughter lived in China for nearly 5 1/2 years and is fluent in Mandarin. There are things in the west for which Chinese does not have a particular word - they just describe it in a phrase - and some western practices, e.g. hospice care, which has no equivalent in Chinese culture.

Russia to Station 690,000 Troops in Ukraine by End of 2024, Surpassing Numbers of All European Armies

ILLIA KABACHYNSKYI  |  Jul 25, 2024  |  10:19

Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi gave a major interview to The Guardian. In it, he discussed the increasing number of Russian troops present in Ukraine. According to him, the Russian grouping currently exceeds 520,000 soldiers. By the end of the year, according to Syrskyi, the number of Russian soldiers in Ukraine will increase by 30%, reaching 690,000. Russia is concentrating troops on all fronts, as infantry assaults are currently the most common method of warfare among Russian generals.

Having failed to achieve their plans — capturing Kyiv in three days — Russia is gradually increasing its troop numbers in Ukraine. Initially, the full-scale invasion began with approximately 160,000-200,000 soldiers, according to various sources. The grouping then grew to nearly 330,000, then to 370,000, and by the end of October, about 400,000 Russian soldiers were in Ukraine. Over the next six months, this number increased by at least 100,000 more.

Russia is constantly recruiting people and is willing to pay for it. If the first wave of mobilization offered a reward of about $2,000-3,000 (200,000 rubles) for joining the army, today in Moscow, volunteers are being offered ten times that amount — $20,000 (2 million rubles). Rewards in the regions are smaller but still amount to thousands of dollars, which is a significant sum for cities where the average salary can be $200-$500. This indicates problems with conscription, but with substantial financial resources, Russia is effectively "buying" soldiers instead. And continues to do so.  .  .

Russian ex-defence minister arrested for corruption, says Interfax

July 26, 2024  |  7:59 AM EDT

MOSCOW, July 26 (Reuters) - Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) said on Friday that Dmitry Bulgakov, a former deputy defence minister, had been arrested and charged with corruption, the Interfax news agency reported.

The RIA state news agency quoted the FSB as saying that an investigation was underway to establish the facts of Bulgakov's alleged "illegal activities." It said he was sent to a pre-trial detention centre in Moscow.

Bulgakov, who was in charge of military logistics until he was dismissed in September 2022, is the latest in a string of high-profile defence ministry figures to have been charged with corruption.

The arrests are the biggest scandal to hit the Russian army in years and come at a time when the new defence minister, Andrei Belousov, an economist with no military experience, has been tasked with purging the army of corruption and streamlining its finances to fund what Moscow calls its "special military operation" in Ukraine.

The clampdown on high-level corruption began on April 23 with the arrest of Deputy Defence Minister Timur Ivanov, a close ally of ex-defence ministry Sergei Shoigu.
Since then, at least five military and defence officials have been arrested.  .  .  .

I had assumed the Lukoil tweet you posted was in regard to gasoline, not oil.  My mistake.


Ukraine tells Hungary: suspension of Lukoil transit is not ‘blackmail’

July 26, 2024  |  11:12 AM EDT

KYIV, July 26 (Reuters) - Ukraine's decision to suspend the transit of oil from Russian group Lukoil (LKOH.MM), opens new tab to Hungary and Slovakia was in accordance with Kyiv's sanctions against the company and nothing to do with blackmail, Ukrainian presidential aide Mykhailo Podolyak told Reuters on Friday, rejecting a Hungarian statement.

Kyiv last month adopted sanctions blocking the transit of Russian crude through the Druzhba pipeline, sparking fears of supply shortages in Hungary and Slovakia.

On Monday, Hungary and Slovakia took their complaint to the European Commission, asking it to use an association agreement which they said meant Ukraine could not block oil transit.

An aide to Hungary's prime minister on Friday accused Ukraine of blackmailing Hungary and Slovakia by halting oil deliveries.

"The situation with the suspension of Russian oil transit through the Druzhba pipeline to Hungary and Slovakia has nothing to do with blackmail in the Ukrainian version," Podolyak said in a written comment.   .  .  .

In imperial measurements, 1800 Km is approximately 1100 miles. Not only is that quite a distance, but the drone had to thread between the air defenses of Moscow and St. Petersburg.
