‼️Russia: there’s a shortage of soldiers and workers but on the plus side — we now have cheap cardboard coffins!

The director of the #Russian Cherepovets Foundry and Mechanical Plant, #Vladimir_Boglayev, says that Russia is likely to face upheavals in the near future due to economic problems.
🧵 - on the likely last big battle russia can sustain before its economy implodes.
Russians called for a ceasefire. Ukraine tested this opportunity by dressing three POW in Ukrainian uniforms and ordering them to withdraw to a location further in the rear for processing. Russia, thinking they were Ukrainians, killed the three and bragged about it on social media.
"russia aims to retain control over the occupied territories but requires external allies willing to operate outside "standard international rules" to compensate for "russia's own weaknesses.""
The state of the Russian economy is akin to trauma incompatible with life!
“There are no options for growth and recovery within the current governance paradigm.”
— Russian blogger Alexander Bobylev
❗️Russia has restricted access to social networks to prevent riots, - Zelensky
"Why could there be riots? Because, in my opinion, there are several options. General mobilization. Large mobilization, including Moscow and St. Petersburg. Why mobilization needed? To repeat the attack on Ukraine."
for a country that has almost no access to internet, i've never seen so many russian crying on video lately.
what is 'get off our land' in turkish?
russia was never strong.
putin is hiding.
"Controlled slowdown has turned into an accelerating decline”; “The economic situation is worse than expected”
"russian milblogger published an alleged message from a russian air defense serviceman, claiming that Ukrainian forces were able to strike the port of Ust-Luga because russian air defense did not have enough surface-to-air missiles to defend against many strike vehicles"

Ukrainians hacked yesterday's secret meeting of the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade on drone production in which Russians cited problems in obtaining even basic components, all now being reliant on China.

European politicians continue to openly admit that they are forcing Ukrainians to die alone in defense of all Europe against Russia.
Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian civilians have been murdered by Russia.
They seem completely comfortable with this perverted reality.
The problem is that the American population is suffering through inflation and drop in real wages,because he wants to make deals for himself and sponsors.
He truly is just another (wannabe) oligarchy.
'Blimey!' 😲
2 times in less then a year is no coincidence anymore.
trump wants russia to survive, as it otherwise would deprive him & other sponsors of acces to the russian oil & gas market.
paid for with ukranian blood.
The 2nd time was once again when russia was having a major issue in early 2026 and on the brink of going bankrupt.
trump attacked iran, by which oil revenues to russia rose as he lifted sanctions on russia.
This gave russia some well needed cash to fund its invasion of ukraine.
it's striking how trump has saved russia several times by now:
The 1st time when he got elected in 2025, by imposing tarifs and weakening the dollar.
At that time russia was having a shortage of foreign currency to control the strenght of the ruble, which caused it to drop.
Less talk.
more aid for Ukraine 🇺🇦.

Moscow. April 17. INTERFAX.RU - The situation in the Russian economy is now more difficult than in recent years, against the backdrop of a strong ruble, high interest rates, labor shortages and budget restrictions, reserves in the economy have largely been exhausted, said Russian Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov, speaking on Friday at the All-Russian Forum of Entrepreneurship Support Infrastructure "My Business" in Vsevolozhsk. "It is clear that the economic situation is not easy, I will not repeat myself much. I think business feels this most acutely. And the situation, let’s say, is complicated, including by the tax changes that are taking place now and to which businesses are forced to adapt. Therefore, probably our main task now is to really help businesses adapt as much as possible to the situation that is happening," the minister said.
Russian minister: "Our economic situation is complicated. Much more complex tahn i previous years. The ressources are exhausted."
"Reshetnikov urged businesses to invest and create jobs but acknowledged that companies would increasingly have to rely on their own resources."
"Elvira Nabiullina has said production capacity is also near its limit, while fiscal and financial reserves have been drawn down."
🕯️💔
Belarusian dictator Lukashenko (who trump called his friend recently) said the USA is not a superpower anymore , and is no match for russia and china.
Basically russia is laughing the USA now, as it perceived weakness in trump.
more mobilisations ongoing in russia.
mobilised men can also be used for foreign missions after putin approved such a law in early 2026.
