🇻🇪🇬🇾Venezuela Presents Essequibo Documents to UN Court
Venezuelan officials have submitted documentation to the UN court regarding Caracas' claim to the disputed Essequibo region, contested by Guyana.
The UN International Court of Justice, headquartered in the Netherlands, has received a collection of documents from Venezuela asserting its "inalienable right" to the Essequibo region, which is under dispute with Guyana.
A delegation of Venezuelan officials delivered the package of documentation to the UN court, signaling their intent to vigorously challenge Guyana's claim to Essequibo.
The ongoing territorial dispute over Essequibo between Venezuela and Guyana has spanned over a century. Tensions escalated recently following the discovery of oil reserves in Essequibo, prompting Guyana to permit international corporations to exploit them.

🇪🇨 🇸🇻 🏴☠️ Ecuadorians wanted an action man. President Noboa has fulfilled that role — embassy raid included
🔶️ While world leaders have expressed shock and bewilderment over Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa’s decision to raid Mexico’s embassy last Friday, the extraordinarily unusual move — and Noboa’s relative silence about it — is unlikely to hurt him with his constituents. In fact, it’s exactly the sort of no-holds-barred crimefighting they expect and voted for.
🔶️ Still, Noboa’s display of force quickly earned him praise at home.
🔶️ “President Noboa has given a strong message to the nation,” said Carlos Galecio, a political communications consultant and coordinator of the communications program at Ecuador’s Casa Grande University. “(It’s) a very powerful image boost.”
🔶️ Noboa has responded by promising more equipment for police and the armed forces and the construction of prisons similar to those President Nayib Bukele built in El Salvador, with high-security, maximum-security and supermax units. He also issued a decree labeling more than 20 criminal groups as terrorist organizations and scheduled an April referendum to ask voters to extend the powers of the military to patrol the streets and control prisons.

🇷🇺 🇺🇦 🇺🇸 Russia has replaced its heavy battlefield losses in Ukraine faster than anticipated, the top U.S. commander in Europe and NATO warned lawmakers today.”
🔶️ “The overall message I would give you is [Russia’s military has] grown back to what they were before,” Cavoli said. “They’ve got some gaps that have been produced by this war, but their overall capacity is very significant still, and they intend to make it go higher.”
🔶️ “In a written statement, Cavoli also sounded the alarm that Russia’s army has even more manpower than when it launched its full invasion in February 2022. Moscow has also boosted its frontline troop strength from 360,000 to 470,000 soldiers, he noted.”
🔶️ “Russia is reconstituting that force far faster than our initial estimates suggested,” Cavoli wrote. “The army is actually now larger — by 15 percent — than it was when it invaded Ukraine.”
🔶️ “The four-star general told senators that Russia has also replenished its heavy tank losses on the battlefield and now operates as many tanks in Ukraine as it did during the beginning of the full conflict.”

📖 🇺🇦 🇷🇺 While it's true that Russia is constantly rebuilding its forces and trying to replace losses, including recruiting new personnel and creating new units and military districts, the reality differs significantly from what appears on paper.
🔶️ Frontelligence Insight has closely monitored multiple Russian units and noted a problem that has become more apparent since 2023 and continues to worsen in 2024: armored losses are being replaced by civilian vehicles such as vans, pickup trucks, and other unarmored vehicles
🔶️ We documented evidence of the replacement of T-72 tanks of various modifications with T-62 and T-55s in at least one tank unit. While we don't know the situation across all units, occasional videos of T-55 and T-62 in different areas suggest that this is not an isolated case
🧐 According to Oryx, since the start of the invasion, the number of lost vehicles has surpassed 15,000, as of around 2024/03/24, including 2,856 tanks, 135 helicopters, 106 aircraft, and 20 ships. Russia cannot replace such numbers within two years, despite the Soviet legacy
🔶️ In fairness, Russia still maintains an advantage over Ukraine in terms of replacement and substitution, as Ukraine has received minimal replacements since 2023, and its domestic production, while improving significantly, still lags behind in meeting frontline needs.
🔶️ Despite suffering losses in land, naval, and aerial vehicles, Russia has seriously expanded its UAV arsenal, potentially one of the most numerous in the world, consisting of hundreds of thousands of tactical reconnaissance, suicide, and bomber drones.
🔶️ Yet, newly formed units don't get vehicles per their organizational structure, sometimes resembling rifle units more than motorized or mechanized units. Furthermore, during the Avdiivka battle, the newly formed 25th CAA had to transfer its equipment to the 2nd and 41st armies.
🔶️ Considering the above, Russian forces went through transformation, acquiring new UAV and EW capabilities as well as valuable experience, while also suffering tens of thousands of vehicle losses and the loss of experienced officers and soldiers.
🔶️ It will take Russia multiple years to rebuild its army. Moreover, given the experience in the invasion of Ukraine, its post-2022 forces, previously organized in BTG units, will look very different - the future size and composition will depend on the outcomes of the war.

🇵🇪 Protesters blockade Peru's Las Bambas mine after talks fall through
Peru's Las Bambas copper mine, owned by China's MMG, is facing renewed blockades of a key transport route after failed talks over donations to local development projects, a community leader said on Wednesday.
Las Bambas, which normally supplies 2% of global copper supply, has a history of stoppages due to protests organized by local communities.
Last week, residents of the Velille district in Cusco's Chumbivilcas province began blocking Peru's main mining corridor but lifted the protest on Tuesday to meet with company representatives.
By Wednesday, however, the protest was back on after the community members rejected a company offer to contribute one million soles ($270,000) annually in 2024 and 2025 to local development programs - half of what protesters are demanding.

As of April 10, the difficulty of mining a block has intensified by 3.92% following the most recent adjustment. Concurrently, Bitcoin’s network hashrate also attained its highest level ever, as indicated by the seven-day simple moving average (SMA) metrics, which shows a peak of 641 exahash per second (EH/s). This uptick was due to block intervals shortening to less than 9 minutes on April 9, quicker than the typical 10-minute average.
