Russia’s War Economy Is Hitting Its Limits

Key weapons are running out as Moscow tries to mobilize ever more labor and resources.

Marc R. DeVore & Alexander Mertens  |  November 14, 2024  |  10:43 AM

Now that Donald Trump is returning to a second term as U.S. president, ascertaining the true state of Russia’s war economy is more important than ever. Trump’s advisors believe that Ukraine must settle for peace by whatever means necessary “to stop the killing.” Implicit in this argument is the view that Russia has the ability to sustain the war for many years to come. On close examination of the evidence, however, the narrative that Russia has the resources to prevail if it so chooses does not hold.

The apparent resilience of the Russian economy has confounded many strategists who expected Western sanctions to paralyze Moscow’s war effort against Ukraine. Russia continues to export vast quantities of oil, gas, and other commodities—the result of sanctions evasion and loopholes deliberately designed by Western policymakers to keep Russian resources on world markets. So far, clever macroeconomic management, particularly by Russian Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina, has enabled the Kremlin to keep the Russian financial system in relative health.  .  .  .

A Ukrainian Leopard 2 Tank Met A Russian Armored Column Head-On—And Wrecked It

‘Effective work just blows the heads off the enemies,’ the Ukrainian 33rd Mechanized Brigade crowed.

David Axe  |  Nov 13, 2024  |  02:03pm EST



To surround the eastern fortress city of Pokrovsk from the south, Russian forces first have to roll back Ukrainian defenses in Kurakhove, a village on the bank of the Vovcha River 18 miles south of Pokrovsk in eastern Ukraine’s Donetsk Oblast.

The Ukrainian army’s 33rd Mechanized Brigade and its German-made Leopard 2A4 tanks stand in their way. On Monday, a powerful Russian force rolled toward Dalnje, just south of Kurakhove, clearly aiming to fight its way through the former in order to bypass and cut off the latter.

Well-aimed cannon fire from the 61-ton, four-person Leopard 2A4s—31 of which equip the 33rd Mechanized Brigade’s tank battalion—put a quick stop to the Russian assault. As a Ukrainian drone observed from overhead, at least one Leopard 2A4 firing armor-piercing rounds shot holes through two Russian tanks, an armored personnel carrier and several other vehicles. Ukrainian drones chased after the survivors.

“Effective work just blows the heads off the enemies,” the 33rd Mechanized Brigade crowed.

The battle in Dalnje was a return to form for Ukraine’s tanks. The proliferation of explosive drones has changed how tankers fight on both sides of Russia’s wider war on Ukraine. “Enemy and friendly drones crisscross the air space, hunting for valuable targets like heavy armor and artillery,” David Kirichenko wrote for the Center for European Policy Analysis in Washington, D.C. “This aerial cat-and-mouse game has fundamentally altered tank tactics.”  .  .  .

Putin Slashes Soldiers' Payouts as Russia's Losses in Ukraine Skyrocket

Brendan Cole  |  Nov 14, 2024 at 10:35 AM EST

Russia will reduce payments to troops injured in Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine as his government faces ballooning war costs and huge personnel losses.

A Kremlin decree introduced Wednesday and signed by the Russian president restricts medical payouts of 3 million rubles ($30,000) to those who suffer severe injuries in combat.

Previously the sum was available to anyone wounded. Now those with less severe injuries will only get between one million rubles ($10,000) and 100,000 rubles ($1,000).

Under the Kremlin's new guidelines, soldiers will only receive full compensation if they suffer "Section I" injuries that endanger their life or health or cause significant damage to their organs, such as severe spinal injuries, brain damage, rib fractures and broken limbs.

Less severe or "Section II" injuries warranting $10,000 compensation are temporary wounds such as, concussions, minor fractures and gunshot wounds that don't affect organs. Newsweek has contacted the Russian defense ministry for comment.

Legislation introduced at the start of the war in March 2022 entitling the families of those killed in the war to 7.4 million rubles ($75,000) compensation remains in place.  .  .

Ukrainian car bomb kills Russian navy commander in Crimea

Kyiv intelligence sources say Valery Trankovsky was ‘war criminal’ who ordered missiles to be fired at civilian targets

James Kilner  |   13 November 2024  |  6:18pm GMT



Ukraine’s intelligence service (SBU) has killed a Russian naval commander by detonating a bomb fitted underneath his car as he drove to work in occupied Crimea.

The SBU described Valery Trankovsky, the assassinated officer, as a “war criminal” who ordered missiles to be fired at civilian targets across Ukraine.

“The b------ repeatedly attacked Odesa and other peaceful cities, killing many civilians. He was an absolutely legitimate target in terms of the laws and customs of war,” an SBU source told Ukrainian media.

The source also said that Trankovsky, who was killed in the city of Sevastopol, had personally ordered ballistic missiles to be fired at the city of Vinnytsia in July 2022. The attack killed 29 people and injured more than 200.  .  .

I remember in the 80's there was a scandalous and notorious movie, Faces of Death, purported to show real deaths, but actually many of which were fake come to find out. And now, just casually browsing the web, i get to watch the gruesome deaths of people up close many sure deserved it as they were the enemy, but still they die in highly graphic ways, in HD quality in ways we'd be horrified at in the 80's.

A brave new world.

Police and protesters clash in Georgia’s separatist Abkhazia region over pro-Moscow property measure

Updated 9:26 AM EST, November 15, 2024



TBILISI, Georgia (AP) — Protesters opposing a measure that would have allowed Russians to buy property in the Georgian territory of Abkhazia stormed into the separatist region’s parliament building and presidential office on Friday and clashed with police.

At least eight people were injured in the melee in the regional capital of Sukhumi on the Black Sea, news reports said.

The parliament was to have discussed ratifying the measure but postponed the session as the demonstrators gathered outside the gates of the government compound. They rammed a gate with a truck and streamed inside the grounds, throwing rocks at police who responded with tear gas.

President Aslan Bzhania’s office later announced he was preparing an order to remove the measure from consideration. Police then left the parliament building but demonstrators remained, demanding Bzhania’s resignation. Demonstrators also stormed into the presidential administration building and vowed to remain there until Bzhania resigned and snap elections were called.

Most of Abkhazia broke away from Georgia in fighting that ended in 1993, and Georgia lost control of the rest of the territory in the short war with Russia in 2008. Russia recognizes Abkhazia as an independent country, but many Abkhazians are concerned that the region of about 245,000 people is just a client state of Moscow.

Opponents of the property agreement say it would drive up prices of apartments and boost Moscow’s dominance in the region. Abkhazia’s mountains and Black Sea beaches make it a popular destination for Russian tourists  .  .  .
