Key Takeaways:
CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) Kirill Dmitriev gave several interviews with American news outlets on April 3 and presented views that contradict the current Kremlin line on Ukraine.
The Kremlin remains unwilling to commit to a general ceasefire in Ukraine, continuing to reject the ground ceasefire that US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky have offered.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated on April 4 that the US is closely monitoring Russia's actions in Ukraine and hopes that Russia is "serious" about resolving the war rather than simply dragging out negotiations.
A Russian ballistic missile struck a residential area in Kryvyi Rih, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast on April 4, killing at least 16 people, including children.
Russia continues to employ strike packages predominantly comprised of drones amid reports that it is growing its missile stockpile.
Ukrainian railway operator Ukrzaliznytsia signed two contracts with Chinese rail producers in January 2025 as part of efforts to support the development and repair of Ukrainian rail infrastructure.
Russia is reinforcing its strategic ties with the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) juntas in a concerted effort to enhance Russian influence in Africa.
Ukrainian forces recently advanced near Chasiv Yar and Pokrovsk. Russian forces recently advanced near Kupyansk, Toretsk, and Pokrovsk.
The Russian military reportedly continues to expand its conventional force end-strength.

I love this thread, ukraine sends drones to Moscow to kill civilians its okay
I thought Ukrsine was targeting military targets and targets that directly impacts the war.
I’m not saying no civilians have been killed because inevitably there is collateral damage, but none of this would be happening if Russia hadn’t started this war.

Optic Fiber Systems», the first and only optical fiber manufacturing plant in Russia, located in Saransk (Republic of Mordovia), was attacked by kamikaze drones. The official opening of the plant took place on September 25, 2015. The company's shareholders are RUSNANO, Gazprombank and the Government of the Republic of Mordovia.
No children or women were killed or injured in this strike. But the cost of Russian FO controlled drones just quadrupled and will be subject to Chinese levels of quality control.

He (and SirWinston) claim Russia is in some existential battle against the "globo-homos", "globalists", etc but aren't willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the Christian world....

Our (As in Americans, sorry Ukraine bros) perception of China's manufacturing and QC are molded by the cheap crap we buy off Amazon from there.
The stuff they actually use has been quite good for a while now.
In fact not that long ago Chinese patent piracy was a huge deal. Not nearly as much of an issue now because in some technology fields they are passing us.

The drill pipe we use yes, The valves for industry are cheap throw away type. The plastics extrusion not so good and throw away. Plastics compounders began using a lot of pelletizers made in China 20 year ago, then switched back to US or German made because down time is lost production time. Even old rebuilt is far more reliable

JB, do you have any videos of the Russians letting prisoners out of jail and then going to basic training? I’d be interested in seeing that too.
Or maybe an interview with some NK regulars talking about their experiences in Kursk?

Sure equipment gets destroyed in combat but the difference between our equipment, even the ancient M113, is built better than the soviets ever did because we value human life more than they did. Sure the M113 is destroyed but I’ll bet most if not all were able to evacuate it. If that’s a BMP-1, BTR or MTLB everyone is dead. Same with their tanks.

I’ve supported Ukraine through this entire bullshite war that Putin started because he’s a tyrant who wants the old days of the Soviet Union back. Unfortunately lately I think Ukraine has been wasting its best equipment on foolish lightning attacks that sacrifice blown up vehicles to continue to an objective and be as fast as possible trying to knife behind Russian lines in Belgorod. The main vehicle they are using to gain ground in Belgorod is also Ukraine’s best fighting vehicle in the Bradley. So now to make an attack that is too small to hold long and sacrifice several of your best equipment to make gains just baffles me. Ukraine needs to be in full on defense mode making layered defensive line across the entire front with their best equipment defending the rest of their ground. It also pisses me off that all of Europe suddenly hates the USA yet without our equipment Ukraine would have fallen long ago.
