And those casualty numbers could be as low as 50 to 60 percent of totals. Adding another 500k to 600k from the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics (DNR/LNR) since 2021 brings the number of "irrecoverable combat losses" to over 530,000.

This isn't going away. Nothing concrete happens this session but the PR campaign is building every day. And once started in January, like all Congressional investigations, the term 'snowball' is appropriate.

US Democrats are considering around $15 billion in new security assistance for Ukraine, the Financial Times reports. Lawmakers may seek provisions in the annual defense bill before the current Congress ends, including energy support, sanctions and scrutiny of Starlink services. Democrats also want to revisit Russia sanctions legislation and investigate the business interests of Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

As if this statement even needed to be made. No one is taking the Lavrov - Kushner - Witkoff circus seriously now.

Europe wants Russia to end the war first, and only then discuss security architecture, - Bloomberg European officials consider Putin's pre-war demands unacceptable, which would effectively mean a rollback of NATO's presence from Eastern Europe. First, in their opinion, there should be a ceasefire, and post-war security arrangements require the consent of all European countries.

Pig iron? Shipped from Murmansk to Turkey? With the Turks naming their own price? Sure, this will work.

Russia to export metal via Arctic port for first time in 30 years to avoid strikes from Ukraine - FT
Russia plans to send over 65 thousand tons of metal to the Mediterranean Sea via Murmansk. For this purpose, pig iron was delivered to the port in more than 180 railway cars.
The probable destination of the cargo is Turkey, since the European Union has banned the import of Russian pig iron since January 1, 2026.

At least dark theaters in Washington will be safe now.
Ukraine support was a substantive issue in this election. But the White House has to ignore it as they are the only pro-Russian politicans left. Well, certainly after Tuesday.

Ukraine’s new frontier: how space has become critical to balance of the war
quote:
Ukraine has conducted at least three tests of near-space interceptions as it has sought to launch its own sovereign satellites
quote:
That became a reality last month when Ukraine and Denmark’s GomSpace announced they had successfully launched the Obria Nano, the first test satellite for a future independent Ukrainian communications network, reportedly envisaging about 245 satellites.
quote:
For Russia, Grossfeld argues, space has become essential to military success, with Moscow treating offensive operations there as a precursor to broader conflict in a new reality where war is inseparable from satellite-based intelligence and targeting.
“This started before the war in Ukraine,” Grossfield said. “The US Space Force [then second in command, Gen David Thompson] said in 2021 that the US was seeing daily attacks [by Russia and China] on US satellites.
“They are not necessarily kinetic [attacks], but now with the war and with everyone’s dependency on space for intelligence and communications, it has become front and centre.”
Grossfield said Russia’s intention in the recent “bullying” of the Iceye satellite was not clear, one possibility was to force it to use fuel to change course and in doing so shorten its lifespan.
That is not the only tactic that has been seen. Russia has also used signal jamming, laser-dazzling of satellites, and placed “inspector” spy satellites near foreign space assets.

Didn't you learn in this thread that Musk won't dare touch Ukraine's Starlink access?

His attorneys will have by now explained to him what his chances are in court. Whatever chance he has now drops to zero with another disablement episode. Fool me once...
Besides, Musk is now seeing Trump for what he is - a dirty old man and the facilitator of the MAGA extinction event along with the GOP for the next six years plus. Not anyone worth risking everything he has for.
Besides, Rocket Boy is soon going to be hit with so many subpoenas that for the first time ever, travel to Mars will make sense.

Kirishi is the 2nd largest refinery in Russia. It was last hit back in August.

Sorry, I didn't realize that. Tell us, how many satellites have been shot down so far? Disabled...? Called bad names...? Anything...?
Just because it was in a few movies 40 years ago doesn't mean it's reality.

OSINT Absolutely Reliable:
2 facilities were hit in the Leningrad Region! KINEF Refinery, Kirishi, is the second largest oil refinery in Russia (design capacity of about 20 million tons of oil per year). As a result of the strike, a fire broke out at two primary oil refining units (1/2 AVT and 1/2 AT) and 2 cooling units of the BOV were damaged.
JSC Morozov Plant, Morozov, is one of the oldest and most important enterprises of the Russian military-industrial complex, specializing in the chemical synthesis of powerful explosives (hexogen, octogen, TNT), components of solid rocket fuel and capsule mixtures. In particular, it prepares engines for Iskanders. As a result of the strike, 3 production workshops were damaged.
