Russian supply chain in the North is a mess.
Thais were it's gone badly wrong

Worlds going CRAZY !!!

Russia have tactical nukes (battlefield nukes). Unlike other Western nations
Pukin may use this first if he gets bogged down...in desperation.

KENNY
MIGs for Ukrainian pilots to fly (which they know how to fly)
Supplying more hardware...that is ALL

NOM
It has been reported by reliable sources
Will it happen........nobody knows

Drone footage could be sold for big bucks to the likes of NETFLIX

call me cynical

Poland could be suppling some MIGs to booster the Ukrainian air force in a package the Yanks are negotiating

If the Ukrainian president is killed a replacement to inspire the people will be sort.
Klitschko could be that man

Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov announced on Sunday that Ukrainian companies from the "military-industrial complex" will be targeted with "high-precision weapons," urging their employees to "leave those facilities." He also told reporters that "practically all combat-ready aviation of the Kiev regime has been destroyed."
In the same press conference, Konashenkov warned countries in the region not to provide airfields for the Ukrainian fighter aircraft. Such action "may be regarded as the involvement of these states in an armed conflict," he pointed out. The Russian military official also presented what he said was evidence of Kiev destroying all traces of a "military biological program being implemented in Ukraine, funded by the United States Department of Defense" on the day the Russian special military operation started.
Elsewhere, citing its own intelligence, the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) revealed that the Ukrainian military had planned to attack Crimea and Donbass on March 8, 2022. The DPR also said that the Azov Battalion, a notorious far-right military group linked to neo-Nazism that is now part of Ukraine's official forces, opened fire earlier in the day on civilians that were trying to flee Mariupol, killing two people in the process.

Not so good as BABCO-CK is using EU members to contract out much of the work

"Despite being designed by Bab****, they will not, however, be built in Britain, but rather in Poland's shipyards.
The frigates will also feature combat equipment from French company Thales and anti-aircraft firepower from MBDA, which is headquartered in France but is part owned by Britain's BAE Systems, according to the Telegraph."

PS
It's an obvious populist delaying campaign to reduce refugee numbers to the max IMO

Comparing the response of the EU and the UK re Ukrainian refugees is like chalk and cheese: one is a humanitarian response, the other is a slightly expanded (free) version of existing family migration routes.

The Russian poisoners arrived as Tourists not as refugees.
Ukrainian refugees are females and children or men over 60
Checks with Ukrainian security authorities would be far more reliable than any checks on Russians IMO

The number of arrivals from Ukraine on Friday was the highest this week, with 383 people landing on flights to Dublin.
Most of the refugees arriving are staying with friends and family, but 135 have sought accommodation from state services, according to RTÉ.

New CONservative bill will criminalise refugees unless they are security checked, that could take weeks because of staffing issues.

"A ban on Russian vessels introduced by transport secretary, Grant Shapps, this week does not cover cargo. This has allowed several ships to dock despite carrying gas or oil that was ultimately purchased from Kremlin-controlled entities."

Ukraine sanctions: UK dockers refuse tanker of Russian gas

"Dockers in Kent have refused to unload two tankers of Russian gas, forcing them to go elsewhere, a union has said. The Boris Vilkitsky and Fedor Litke have been diverted from the Isle of Grain, the largest terminal in Europe for importing liquefied natural gas

China Taps Alternative Payments to Keep Russian Oil Flowing.

Chinese refiners are paying for Russian crude oil using cash transfers to maintain imports from Russia’s Fast East, as banks shy away from financing the oil because of sanctions, sources with knowledge of the matter said.

Global oil prices have soared to their highest in a decade as banks halted financing Russian oil after the United States and other countries ramped up sanctions on Moscow following its invasion of Ukraine.

Spot crude premiums and freight rates also spiked, piling on buyers’ costs.

Several European and U.S. refiners have stopped buying Russian oil this week, even though Washington said Russian oil and gas are exempted from sanctions.

But Chinese buyers are looking to maintain purchases of ESPO Blend crude exported from Russia’s Far East Kozmino port using other payment methods as they cannot secure letters of credit from banks, trade sources said.

“For those done deals, payments are being sorted out with buyers doing Telegraphic Transfer as bank financing becomes very difficult,” said a Singapore-based Chinese trading executive.
