Thoughts on Rus-Ukr war updates.
I speak fluent sarcasm.

Russian oil export revenue continues to disappear quickly.

🔹Lukoil stopped operations at their West Qurna-2 oilfield in Iraq
🔹2 major Indian refineries are making big purchases of US and Mideast oil to replace Russian oil at their refineries

Things are happening fast now.📉🫟

The Russian government is dumping 600% more money into banks in 2025 to prop them up.💸

Over a half trillion rubles are being provided to banks, including capital injection via bank share purchases.

They seem to be preparing for very serious financial shocks, soon. 📉💥

Russians are avoiding long-term deposits due to distrust of the banking system and economic instability.

As economic collapse looms and the 1990s comes up more often, 3-month bank deposits are now over 33% of all deposits, and year-plus are below 7%.

Make Russia broke again.

More drone sanctions are being applied to the port of Tuapse.

This video shows the moment that drone debris started a small fire which caused no damage. Reports indicate this was at Deepwater Pier 1 (reported as Pier 167 in some places).

‼️ Norway may be the guarantor for a €100 billion loan to Ukraine!

With Belgium opposing a loan of €140 billion secured by frozen Russian assets in their Euroclear depository, Norway stepping in as guarantor provides a path for the loan to proceed.

Thank you Norway!!🇳🇴💙💛

Important milestone: NATO now producing more ammo than Russia.

This news from this week is very important for long-term NATO security. Strength is now the best guarantor of future peace in Europe, and this war has shown how critical ammo is and how fast it can be used up.

❗️Russian forces have destroyed the locomotive depot in Hrebinka, Poltava region.

I spent all my childhood summers in my grandfather’s village near Hrebinka. It’s where I had friends, laughter, and some of the best memories of my youth, many of those friends are now gone, killed by Russia’s war.

As Russian oil exports to India collapse, Saudi Arabia is jumping in to fill the gap.

Indian refineries that buy 65% of Russian oil imports stopped all purchases as of December. And Saudi Arabia cut oil prices to attract Indian buyers.

Russian oil revenue is in freefall 📉💥

As Russian gas shortages get worse, refineries will start mixing alcohol into gasoline.

Expect more car breakdowns, because alcohol corrodes engines, clogs filters, and causes part deterioration.

Medvedev will be even angrier 🤬 when the alcohol prices spike because of this.

Video of a hilarious moment just now when Trump put Orban on the spot during a press interview.

Trump asked him directly if he would say Ukraine can't win, and after an uncomfortable pause he said "a miracle can happen".

Trump's smirk at his answer is quite amusing 😏

The Russian Central Bank 2025-2028 forecast is out, and it's grim.

🔹GDP growth is lowered further
🔹Interest rates will stay high
🔹Inflation is up
🔹Investments are down
🔹Exports are way down, due to oil and gas
🔹Imports are down
🔹Sanctions will be in place past 2028

🔥This is what playing with fire looks like

Putin often refers to the USSR and Soviet times as positive things.

But at the same time, a small memorial event for the 1917 revolution, which created the USSR, was quickly suppressed by security forces.

Play with fire, get burnt.🔥

🚫Lukoil-owned Teboil in Finland is shutting down.

Unable to purchase more fuel due to US sanctions on Lukoil, Teboil is winding down their operations.

That will be a big hit to Russian revenues. With all of the recent events, it looks like a chain reaction is starting.

When the topic in your Chinese class is ‘population issues’ in China, and you turn it into a lesson on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. 📚

当中文课的主题是“中国的人口问题”,
而你把它变成了一堂关于俄罗斯入侵乌克兰的课。

Bulgaria is preparing to nationalize the Lukoil refinery in Burgas.

The upcoming law will let them sell Bulgaria's only oil refinery, and Lukoil can't vote on or appeal a sale.

And with the US refusing to let Gunvor buy Lukoil's assets, expect nationalization to happen shortly.

Azerbaijan's split with Russia is growing:

🔹Russian oil is no longer allowed at the port of Baku, forcing it to be sent by pipeline to Novorossiysk for tanker export
🔹Their military will switch off Russian standards and onto NATO ones

Russia is more isolated every day.

Russia is significantly decreasing foreign currency sales, likely to prevent capital flight.

This month, foreign currency and gold sales will be cut 80%, with decreasing oil and gas revenue and spiking fuel prices cited.

They know their economy is in big trouble.📉🫟

Monday, Serbia said they were ok with their ammunition going to Ukraine.

Wednesday, Serbia had a call with Ukraine where both agreed to work on their shared interest in regional security.

Yesterday, Serbia said they may join Russia sanctions.

Quite the pivot this week.

Up-close video of the moment drone sanctions were applied in Crimea by Ukraine Special Operations Forces.

The Hvardiiske oil depot has been sanctioned again, as have depots in Simferopol and a train carrying fuel supplies.

That falling drone debris makes awfully small fires with no damage at all.🔥

Reminder of Orban's plan for his meeting with Trump today:
Orban's gamble to get US sanctions relief has been revealed.

When he meets Trump on Friday, he will ask for a waiver so he can keep sending money to Russia. In return, he will commit a future Hungarian government to buy US nuclear reactors in several years.

What an asshole.

Looks like @ustreasury.govmirrors.com doesn't believe it either:

Russian economic collapse update: Russia is dropping prices on their oil due to US sanctions.📉

With India and China scaling back purchases significantly, the Russians are getting desperate for revenue.

Remember though, it doesn't matter what price they ask for if nobody buys.

Drone sanctions update: Volgograd refinery is shut down after last night's sanctions.

The 6th largest refinery in Russia, it is* responsible for around 5% of the total refinery proccessing volume

* WAS responsible for.

"Lukoil did not respond to a request for comment."

💥Ukrainian Defence Forces have destroyed a base used for storing, assembling and launching Shahed drones at Donetsk airport.

Reports suggest that at the time of the strike, the site may have contained up to 1,000 Shahed/Geran-2 UAVs and over 1,500 warheads.
