This is a sign that the West should impose and strictly enforce even more sanctions on fascist Russia - the sooner the Kremlin loses the capacity to wage its war of aggression, the sooner the war comes to an end.

1/ The fatal capsizing of a Russian floating crane in Sevastopol has highlighted the inability of the Black Sea Fleet's principal shipyard to build the cranes needed for the construction of new naval vessels, as a critical Russian commentary notes. ⬇️

🌊 A video has surfaced of the sinking of the Russian floating crane PK-400 "Sevastopol," which had been under construction at the Sevastopol Marine Plant for eight years.

‼️Ultimately, the Russian shipbuilders capsized the crane and sank it, never completing its construction.

The markets are speaking. They saw Trump fold on China yesterday, and have concluded that his “sanctions” on Russia will have “limited” value (to put it kindly). Oil analysts aren’t going to be fooled like MAGA propagandists. www.thehindubusinessline.com/markets/comm...

Haven’t read full article, but the thesis that Ukraine is about to collapse is false: Ukraine has secured billions in funding commitments until 2030, and it’s long-range strike capability will soon be widening & intensifying.Tiny, incremental ground losses do not spell defeat.

Kyiv confirms Russia has used the Novator 9M729 cruise missile, banned under the INF Treaty, in 23 strikes on Ukraine since August. One flew over 1,200 km. This is the same missile that triggered the US withdrawal from the treaty in 2019.

A US clampdown on Russian oil that threatens to strangle Hungary's supplies is leaving Budapest no choice but to turn somewhere it's long shunned: Croatia.

Hungary’s foot-dragging on Russian oil crashes into reality

Budapest claims alternative supplies from Croatia are expensive and incapable of meeting its needs — which experts and Zagreb dispute.

💯Absolutely. But someone was just telling me maybe it's time to stop helping Ukraine because they haven't been successful and therefore perhaps they should accept that this is their territory now to save lives and have peace. As if Ru is offering this option rather than rejecting it every single day

The Economist says Europe will have to give Ukraine nearly double what it's already supplied to keep Kyiv afloat long enough for Putin to realize "that he cannot win a long war." That's $389 billion between 2026 and 2029. The magazine takes a reparations loan as a given. Then? Eurobonds, baby!

What will it cost to make Vladimir Putin stop?

Europe must offer Ukraine a big enough financial package to deter the Kremlin

Love this story about the new analysis of an important Nanotyrannus fossil and resulting conclusions. Why am I never surprised when a long debate in paleontology is ultimately settled by just letting researchers study a fossil that has been hidden from them?

New study settles 40-year debate: Nanotyrannus is a new species

Unclear if anything will ever break Emperor Trump's grip on Republican lawmakers, but it's still interesting when something manages to elicit some grumbling: top U.S. Republican lawmakers slam plans to cut troop numbers on Europe's eastern flank, including in Romania. www.reuters.com/world/us-wil...

U.S. to withdraw some troops from NATO's eastern flank, Romania says

Romania and NATO allies were notified of U.S. plans to cut the number of troops stationed on Europe's eastern flank including soldiers who were to be stationed at Romania's Mihail Kogalniceanu air base, Romania's defence ministry said on Wednesday.

Russian fascism is engaged in an existential civilisational battle against liberal democracy, with the Ukrainian working class acting as the first line of defence for Europe.

Material support for the Ukrainian armed forces is class solidarity. Arming Kyiv is anti-fascist praxis.

Ukraine’s Navy has received additional Combat Boat 90 vessels from Sweden and Norway, completing a full division based on this platform. The CB90s are among the world’s best fast assault boats, used by many NATO countries for troop landings, coastal defense, patrol, and maritime security operations.
