The US unexpectedly invited Russia to a G20 meeting yesterday, causing outrage among European leaders. In response to why they were invited, Trump said "we like getting along with everybody". Except Canada. Or Spain. Or Denmark, Italy, the UK, most of Europe, South Korea...🧐

🚨The Russian Duma is warning of economic collapse triggering a 1917-style revolution THIS YEAR🚨 "We've told [Putin] ten times, the economy is bound to collapse...If you don't take immediate action...in the fall we'll face what happened in 1917." I need LOTS more popcorn.🍿🍿

The sky over Moscow is black from the smoke of burning oil. Oil rain may fall on the Kremlin itself. In Putin's most important city, his weakness and the ruin he has led Russia to is now clear for all to see. No amount of propaganda can hide the scale of his failures now.🔥

❗️“We are witnessing attempts to create a Fourth Reich,” - Lavrov, accusing Europe and Germany in particular of militarising and preparing for war with Russia. Interesting. A Goebbels-style propaganda machine. A cult of the leader. Crushing dissent and independent media. Militarisation of society and children. Calling everyone who resists you a “Nazi.” Invading neighbouring countries while claiming you are “protecting” people of your language and culture beyond your borders. Annexing territory. And selling an expansionist war to your own population as an existential struggle for the survival of the nation. Perhaps Lavrov should stop searching for the “Fourth Reich” in Europe. A mirror would save him the trip.

This is how the President of Ukraine was welcomed in Paris — these ovations are for the entire Ukrainian people, who fight for their existence every single day. Thank you all for your support, friends.

The Russian government came up with a new way to generate revenue from their fuel crisis. They are issuing parking tickets en masse to vehicles waiting in line for fuel, because they are in No Parking zones. Expect more No Parking zones to appear shortly. More fuel? Not likely.

Trump is once again blaming Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries for the diesel shortages caused by his Iran war. That being said, if Trump really wants to end Russian refinery strikes, he should get his buddy Putin to agree to a mutual ceasefire. I won't hold my breath.

Sunday: Putin establishes a task force to stabilize fuel supplies in Russia. Monday: The Duma says fuel supplies won't stabilize, and Russians should get used to fuel restrictions. Seems like almost nobody in Russia believes what Putin is saying anymore, not even the Duma. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Based on this video, the air defence in Rostov is firing wildly in all directions while drone sanctions are being applied unimpeded to a military base in the city. At this rate, their own gunfire will cause more damage than the drones do.

Orban is meeting with Putin, doing his best not to bow too deeply knowing the cameras are watching. And judging by that sour expression, it seems the “boss” won’t be too pleased with him anyway.

Putin's war has wiped out almost 25 years of progress in the Russian oil industry. Due to Ukrainian drone sanctions, refining output has dropped to its lowest level since May 2002. And it will keep getting worse. The road to victory is lit with oil lamps.🔥

The fuel crisis is accelerating Russia's economic collapse and causing stagflation. And the Kremlin is making it worse by pulling all available fuel to Moscow, which will increase public protests. Imports aren't coming either: India has refused to export more fuel. Boomtime.🍿

According to latest reports, another 29 (!!) ships have been hit in the Sea of Azov overnight. The scale of these losses, with almost 80 hits to ships over the last week, is truly catastrophic for Russian logistics. And we're not done yet. It will get worse.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

A new Ukrainian air defence system has been unveiled. Yesterday, some of the 58 Shaheds intercepted in western Ukraine were destroyed by AGM-114 Hellfire missiles launched from trailer-mounted STASH systems. Cheap but effective air defence is critical for protecting the skies.

As the Kuibyshev refinery in Samara continues to burn, it's a good time to recap how many times each Russian refinery has been disrupted. Pay close attention to winter and arctic diesel production in the coming weeks: there may be a severe shock in store for the Kremlin. ❄️🧊

❗️Putin says Russia “knows” about alleged violations of the rights of Russian speakers in the Baltic states and has “already developed an approach” to respond. He insists Russia will act only through humanitarian and international-law mechanisms. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like we’ve heard the “protecting Russian speakers abroad” part of this story before.

Russia: invades Ukraine. Europe: starts preparing for the possibility it might be next. Russia: “Why are you threatening us?” ❗️Lavrov says European warnings about preparing for a possible war with Russia could become a “self-fulfilling prophecy.” He insists Russia has no intention of fighting Europe, but warns that if Europe attacks Russia, it would be “a completely different war” - and “a short one.” But if Russia genuinely has no intention of attacking Europe, European preparedness should not be a problem for Russia. Funny how much of a problem it seems to be.

Two weeks before the elections, Kremlin spokesman Peskov said Russia was not considering tax increases. Four days after the elections, the Finance Ministry unveiled a whole package of tax increases. Journalist: You said there would be no tax increases. Now there are. How will you comment this? Peskov: “I won’t.” Journalist: “Thank you very much.”

❗️“No army in the world is prepared to counter the number of Shahed drones Ukraine is dealing with today,” - Robert “Madyar” Brovdi, Commander of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces. Ukrainian forces are destroying around 300 Russian loitering munitions every day, while Russia also launches waves of 30–50 missiles between drone attacks. And this is absolutely true. No military - and frankly, no economy - was built to sustain this scale of warfare for years. Except Ukraine has been forced to learn how.

Sanctions against Russia are pointless and should be lifted, says AfD co-leader Tino Chrupalla following the party’s victory in the German state election. He argues that the sanctions have caused enormous damage to the German economy. Well, that didn’t take long. AfD wins an election, and one of the first messages is that sanctions on Russia should go. Moscow must be delighted.

During the US national anthem, two B-1 bombers roared directly overhead at low altitude. Just watch Xi Jinping’s face. Not a flinch. Not a change of expression. Completely composed. Whatever you think of China, diplomatic discipline, composure and protocol are things the Chinese leadership takes extremely seriously. Trump could probably learn a thing or two.

Trump: “It takes at least 6-12 months to learn how to use Tomahawks. The only way would be to launch them, and we won’t do that.” Yeah, they said the same about ATACMS, Patriots, and jets - three years of training, remember? Our pilots did it in 6-8 months. The only thing that really takes years is Western hesitation.
