With the Rupee in freefall and India's economy collapsing, how will it afford Russian crude even at steep discounts?

“No Way Out: Ukrainian Losses Mount in Kursk”
Ukrainian forces continue to suffer heavy losses in the Kursk region. Enemy medics report that wounded soldiers arrive daily—but that’s only part of the picture. Many are simply left behind.
“They come every day. The only thing that changes is the number. I can’t say how many.”
“It’s nearly impossible to get here [to the stabilization point] from there. You go to evacuate one wounded, and you might lose two more. Instead of one injured, you end up with three dead. Drones are everywhere. The sky is buzzing.”

Explainer: Ukraine’s EuroMaidan was not a coup, despite Russian disinfo pushed by Musk
by Andrea Januta February 4, 2025 8:20 PM
More than a decade after Ukraine’s pro-democracy EuroMaidan Revolution, the false — but persistent — claim that the movement was a Western-backed "coup" refuses to die.
Elon Musk on Feb. 2 boosted to his more than 215 million followers a post on X which parroted Russian disinformation, claiming without evidence that the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) had once been involved in toppling the Ukrainian government.
Musk, who is leading an initiative for President Donald Trump to slash government spending, has repeatedly discredited the agency in recent days and is pushing for its shutdown.
Research over the years has revealed that Russian propagandists have worked hard to spread the false narrative of a “coup” in Ukraine since 2014. With Musk taking a prominent position in the U.S. government, they now appear to have a sympathetic ear in the halls of American power.
What Russian disinformation and its promotors ignore is clear evidence that the Euromaidan Revolution was organized spontaneously by Ukrainians in a grassroots fashion.
Hundreds of thousands of people from all over the country and walks of life came together to spend three months in freezing temperatures to protest the undemocratic actions of their president and government.
Rather than being violently or illegally forced out, as the term coup used by Musk and propagandists would suggest, Ukraine’s then-president Viktor Yanukovych voluntarily fled the country to Russia after ordering his police forces to open fire on and kill civilian protestors. The subsequent transfer of power was carried out democratically through free and fair elections.

edit: Putin bros will reply shortly with the photo of Victoria Nuland and her bag of snacks that "proves" Elon's disinfo.

Theres an elk tag that only 5 people per year can draw in a place called the 'buffer zone' in Montana. It borders Yellowstone Park... to get to some areas you have to actually go through the park if you draw the tag.
It used to be open season there. The elk were essentially funneled through the area so it was more of a slaughter than a hunt, resulting in the area being closed to any hunting for a long time.
Don't think we are at that territory yet with Kursk, but there is definitely a tide shift there. I would love for Ukraine to be able to hold it throughout any potential peace talks (if they actually happen).

I have one question....Which user in this thread is Ivan Volkov 
Ivan Volkov
One of the key figures in this scandal is Ivan Volkov, a Senior Project Leader at Ukraine’s Ministry of Digital Transformation. Volkov isn’t just some bureaucrat—he’s the founder of the “Digital Forces of Ukraine” Discord group, a hub where NAFO trolls organized mass-reporting campaigns, online harassment, and doxxing of independent journalists and analysts.
For years, people have asked: who funds NAFO’s targeted campaigns? Who organizes these waves of censorship and threats against dissenting voices?
We knew the answer, now we have the admission: the U.S. government itself—through USAID—was financially supporting a Ukrainian government operation that engaged in censorship, intimidation, and doxxing.
And American citizens are one of the primary targets."

They are a mouthpiece for the Ukrainian government so don't expect any objectivity there
