• Ukraine is able to fire just 2,000 shells a day, its defense minister said.
  • That’s about a third of what Russia is firing, Rustem Umerov added.
  • In a letter seen by Bloomberg, Umerov urged his EU counterparts to fulfill their ammo commitments.

    It doesn’t seem that the Russian people are happy with this war either. I really feel there is an opportunity here to get the Russian people to stab Putin in the back. While I don’t understand why Putin has any backers but it’s clear so many Russians are suffering as well.

    Especially considering how close Ukrainians, Belorussians, and European Russians are to each other in language and culture; you would think they could find some common ground. I know Ukrainians and Russians, losing their families for Putin’s cause would be stupid.

      The rich are isolated from the war. It doesn’t affect them so supporting Putin is easy. Like the US war in Iraq.
