Czech president recognizes West's mistake regarding Ukraine
In an interview with ARD, Czech President Petr Pavel said that Western countries had provided Ukraine with "cautious support" throughout the war. In his opinion, if the help had come earlier, the situation might have turned out differently.
"I would not say that he (the West - ed.) has lost hope, but throughout the war in Ukraine, the West has been very cautious in its support. From the very beginning, it sought to prevent the escalation of the conflict. Each new stage was discussed for a long time before it was finally implemented. If we had skipped this period of discussions and risk assessment, Ukraine would have received this assistance several months or maybe even years earlier, and the situation could have been different," the president said.

Glad to see the mighty T-14 Armata leading Russia's victory day parade again.
Difficult to get an accurate count of the number of vehicles that took part in this morning's Victory Day parade in Moscow but from what I could tell it was around 50, approximately the same as last year.
Missing for the second year in a row included tanks (outside of the lone T-34 that led the parade), artillery, and anti-aircraft systems. The parade mostly consisted of light skinned vehicles such as Tigrs and ended with the usual ICBMs with a handful of BTRs thrown in.

The fine for evading mobilization is from 17 to 25 thousand hryvnias.
After the draft law comes into force, a minimum fine of UAH 17,000 will initially be imposed for failure to appear at the military registration and enlistment office, evasion of registration, and late updating of data.
Companies that ignore the need to keep military records of their employees will be fined from UAH 34,000.

#Slovakia wants to create a platform for peace talks with Putin - President Peter Pellegrini
"Due to the war in #Ukraine, other parts of #Europe and the world, weapons are slowly starting to rattle. .... Many are preparing plans for a military conflict, and diplomacy is tempering its vocabulary, let's talk about a ceasefire and see weapons only as a last resort."
Pellegrini also said that if necessary, he would propose Bratislava, which "has experience of such a summit," for peace talks.

INTELLIGENCE UPDATE
UPDATE ON UKRAINE 09 May 2024
In April 2024, Russian attacks intensified in eastern Ukraine, rising by 17 per cent from March 2024. Of these, more than three-quarters were located in the Avdiivka, Chasiv Yar, and Marinka areas of the front line.
Attacks in the vicinity of Chasiv Yar rose by 200 per cent from March to April. This is almost certainly a reflection of Russia's renewed attempts to gain control of the town - situated on high ground to the west of Bakhmut.
Despite the substantial increase in attacks on this axis, Russia made only minor tactical gains in the area during April and almost certainly sustained heavy losses.

Gazprom refinery 120,000 BPD with modernization including new units completed in 2012.
I will note that the last 2 decades have seen a lot of modernization and expansion using 100% western technology no longer supported.
FTR, another friend reported that some process equipment had been manufactured before 2022 in Russia for Europe (his company) but the problem was there were ZERO decent welders who could lay off the sauce he could find in Russia. The Uganda, or worse, equivalent labor rates were the only reason to open a shop there in the first place. Quality would have been better in Uganda.
