We will russify Renault too

Hope Russia does a complete ban on Titanium shipment from VSMPO. It will have good impact on Boeing and Airbus.
All current deals needs to be thrown in dustbin and new deals as per market rates needs to be done for all deals regarding Oil, Gas, Titanium shipments, rocket shipments, etc.

Everything needs to be done in Gold.
No more friendly prices should be there or any discounts, citing devaluation of Ruble.


As for the Renault, it should have been done back when Mistrals was denied by the French. It didn't happen then, hope atleast now its done. All the ~75% Renault shares in AVTOVAZ.

Les gens en occident sous estime la puissance de l'armée russe à cause de la guerre de l'information, les réseaux sociaux donnent une image biaisé du conflit. A l'échelle de la taille de l'Ukraine, la Russie est loin de subir un échec...mais bon, ce n'est pas donné au LowQi de le comprendre. On fera le bilan dans 6 mois.

En attendant, le frouze, allez préparer vos élections avec vos candidats en mousse...et vos zones de non-droit où vous longez les murs comme des couillons...

The ironic part is, that the money is taken from russian assets.

If you're in such a good mood and on the winning side why don't you give Zelensky those Migs he's been crying about every night. Stingers are not going to win you any wars (not even in Afghanistan like some of you like to believe). Yes lots of people die in wars like Yemen, Lybia, Iraq, Syria and even now but those figures you mention is pure fake propaganda but yes keep believing!

The video of the Mi-24 going down is CGI fake - just the camera take should tell you that. Ukr posted so many fake shit from PC games that they have absolutely no street cred. This is war and shit happens and it happens on both sides but not according to the propaganda from your side.

You are defending pure unadulterated fascists. Your granddad would be ashamed of you.

This does not look fake for me. helicopters are always easy prey to advanced MANPADS

Don't worry friend. I wouldn't have started this war, or restarted it rather, but it's done and it will all be over soon. Not to the West's favour either; their only task is to try and make the costs for Russia greater.

The EU commission. It was decided to send weapons of 500 million €. Mostly more MANPADS.

The EU will keep paying us for gas since they are totally dependent,

In fact EU pays us 800 million daily, with gas at the spot rate,  we will recover our losses in months

Meanwhile your gas prices will just go higher and higher

It's fun to watch Europe burn

Putin announcing 16000 middle eastern volunteers want to fight in Ukraine and Russia will facilitate their arrival.

Apparently the Croatians already said it came from the territory of the Ukraine

Might be fake news

Ukraine will probably never make such concessions.  So I wonder what the background of Russia is.

Either Putin or Lavrov said as much, that there will be more and more demands the longer the Ukraine doesn't agree to them and drags the negotiation process out

I'd guess that this is a strategy of destabilization of the Ukrainian regime

Give the good mood we have in the EU to win this and the rather depressive state in Russia regarding this, i say we are on a good mood.

The thing is, this is first war where evry detail is shared the moment it happens. Thats the main reason russia lost the information war right at the start. We can see russian helicopters shot down, burning russian convoys and destroyed tanks.


That does not look like winning

Don't lie.
They do not share every detail in the west.
They don't show you how Russia hits with impunity any square millimeter of "Ukrainian" territory with cruise missiles, whole Kievan bases/fuel depots being wiped out by pinpoint strikes with Iskander missiles, close to 2 million "ukrainians" fleeing to the west.

Well, they tell you about the 2 million "ukrainians" fleeing to west. So at least that should make you think why the heck they are fleeing if Kievan forces are about to put their flag over Kremlin anytime now.


Russia is trying to play as nice as possible. But there is no question if Kiev regime will be crushed. It will be. And Russia can crush anyone else in the process - which btw is why they are staying out.

As Zhirinovsky said: USA is the best in the world in evacuating.

What an arrogant idiot you are?... you should be hoping for peace in the world... that if some kind of agreement was reached.... but you disdain the billions of people who are being impacted in their lives with price hikes, your business, risk of layoffs...etc..
Watch out! There is a saying in my country that says: when you need to corner a beast, always leave a place to escape because otherwise it will come at you. Russia will not back down. She has no other option. And it is mounted in an arsenal estimated at 6000 nuclear weapons..

Also, a Tupolev drone (141/143) seems to have flown all the way to Zagreb, Croatia. No joke. Crashed there late last night with its recovery parachutes deployed. No injuries reported, but a lot of surprised Croatian faces for sure.

This will be interesting to see what it's about. My first thoughts are 1. Ukrainian attempt to get NATO involved somehow, or 2. a Russian decoy that was supposed to bait Ukrainian SAMs but that somehow flew all the way through. It had to have been launched from Belarus in that case, as its range is not sufficient to reach Croatia from the Russian mainland. From Ukraine it has enough range.

Either way, it must also have flown through an entire NATO country in the first place (Hungary, Romania) to have reached Croatia (also NATO). So that makes me wonder about the state of the air defenses there.

Croatian authorities say the drone came from the east and crossed the airspaces of Moldova, Romania and Hungary before entering Croatian ditto and crashing in the Zagreb area. That seems to more or less rule out a Russian launch IMO, as it would have come from the Odessa oblast or so given the maximum range of the system. Even if Russian patrols might be present at the far end, the Tu-141/143 is a big, bulky system and nothing you carry along just like that.

But it also makes zero sense for Ukraine to launch one in the completely opposite direction of where the combat is, unless it was exactly that - an attempt at provoking NATO into acting. Completely bonkers idea, but I wouldn't put it past them.

Also, as noted, air defense forces of four (!) countries failed to intercept it along the way. Okay, Moldova's ditto aren't much to brag about, but the other three are all NATO and all have decent radars and supersonic fighter jets that ought to have been on some kind of alert given what's going down right now.

Perhaps the Ukrainians counted on it being shot down somewhere along the way too, instead of flying that far. Pure guesses. I expect some kind of proper briefing in time, which will hopefully help clearing things up.

Twist: The authorities on Crimea say that a Tu-141 that was launched from the Odessa region was shot down over the peninsula:
https://www.c-inform.info/news/id/101251

They seem to imply that it happened around the same time as the Croatian crash, that two Tu-141s were launched from south eastern Ukraine, one in either direction (east and west). What are the Ukrainians up to, I wonder?

Also, note the old-style Soviet stars on the supposedly Crimean one. I seem to recall that one Croatian journalist mentioned red stars on the Zagreb wreck as well. Have they been reactivated from some kind of ancient storage facility or taken straight from a museum? The Tu-141 that was shot down (or crashed on its own) in the Donbass years ago had the modern Ukrainian roundels on it at least.
