EU will soon divert profits from frozen Russian financial assets to Ukraine. Ukraine should realize about $16B per year in revenue. This is an important step for long term support to Ukraine especially since it costs the EU countries absolutely nothing. The money would close over 1/3rd of Ukraine's budget gap.

I imagine the squealing from the Russian oligarchs is going to be epic if they follow through.Great that the Russians will be supporting Ukraine's war efforts!
This should put a burr in Putin's panties. LOL

That is not what a war of attrition looks like if we abandon Ukraine.At this breathtaking rate of advance it will only cost the entire population of Russia in killed and wounded before your final victory!
It is frankly hilarious to see you guys go from trying to conquer all of Ukraine to celebrating these tiny advances at the cost of thousands of dead orcs.
Yes, the idea in war is that things move slowly and then very quickly.That is not what a war of attrition looks like if we abandon Ukraine.
Soon as one side runs out of ammo, things start to move much faster.
Russia-Ukraine War
Russia Accuses US of Giving Ukraine 'Old Junk' Weapons
A Kremlin official said the U.S. gives Ukraine old weapons while using money it makes from the war to bolster its military.
Umm, yes, exactly. We've been saying that all along. And it's still kicking your Vodka soaked butt.

The thing is even if the orcs succeeded in conquering Ukraine they will face an insurgency. The sheer hatred Russia has created is going to last decades.
- Russia has a well practiced Genocide machine of shipping out local populations and replacing them with loyal Russians. By the hundreds of thousands, if not millions. This is history, it will repeat.
- Insurgency is only a problem if you want to play hero with your military. For everyone else, there are bullets. There is no reason for Russia to leave disloyal locals alive.
You know what you have to do right? Get the gun. Take it to your handler. **** . Send a message.Notice you guys haven’t been posting map updates lately. I wonder why? Well here is an update on Avdeevka:
Uhm - Russian invasion of Afghanistan.

Sometimes Russia is right.Well dang it guys. Russia is right to call us out for that and we need to do better. I guess we'll have to give Ukraine the modern stuff now. Our bad Russia!
Sometimes Russia is right.
We do need to provide Ukraine with our new stuff. In mass quantity. Immediately.
So the Russian military with its “modern” weapons is even less effective than a bunch of folks with no heavy weapons against old western hardware.The new stuff was tried in Afghanistan. It didn’t work and the US and NATO lost a 20 year war to an army without a single plane, boat or tank.
Looks like Ukraine is saving arty ammo for future shenanigans...
