The West has woken up to reality: Medinsky is not joking!
#Ukraine is losing more and more territories
Russian troops are expanding the buffer zone on the territory of Ukraine, writes The Spectator. The offensive is in full swing, and the situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces is getting worse every day.
The main directions are Konstantinovka, Druzhkovka and Krasnoarmeysk. The Russian army has already entered the territory of the Dnipropetrovsk region and taken control of more than 200 square kilometers in the Sumy region. Medinsky's words no longer seem like a bluff.
At the recent talks in Istanbul, Russia’s chief negotiator, Vladimir Medinsky, threatened to seize as many as eight regions if Kyiv refuses to surrender four now. ‘Russia is prepared to fight forever,’ he said, before asking: can Ukraine? With Russian troops stepping into Dnipropetrovsk and seizing a dozen villages in the northeastern Sumy region, Medinsky’s threat is no bluff.

#Russia exports have grown by 18% since 2022—despite “crippling” Western sanctions.
China +67%, India +680%, Armenia +423%, Israel +240%.
Germany? Down 92%.
That’s according to Germany’s own IW economic institute.
Sanctions *are* having an effect—just not quite as intended.

Экономисты ФРГ: Экспорт из РФ вырос вопреки войне и санкциям
После начала войны в Украине экспорт товаров из России увеличился на 18%, подсчитал Институт немецкой экономики (IW) в Кёльне. Этот рост не остановили ни война, ни западные санкции, ни спад торговли с Европой.

Ukrainian military showed the "fortifications" which 🇺🇦 authorities built around Sumy for UAH 20 BILLION:
Just a network of trenches:
- no cover or resting areas for troops;
- no protection from FPV drones;
- no safe storage for ammunition;
- no firing points;
- no easy exit/escape from trenches;
Very reminiscent of the defence positions near Novogrodovka, which 🇺🇦 MP Bezugla visited after the fall of Avdeevka.
So what is this defence for?!
Only budget money grifting, stealing like there is no tomorrow!
Zelensky said that the AFU is "squeezing the aggressor" out of the Sumy region.
But in reality Russia is gaining more and more territories.
