Stop spreading Russian propaganda. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-06-13/us-quietly-urges-russia-fertilizer-deals-to-unlock-grain-trade The EU and the US have built exemptions into their restrictions on doing business with Russia to allow trade in fertilizer, of which Moscow is a key global supplier. But many shippers, banks and insurers have been staying away from the trade out of fear they could inadvertently fall afoul of the rules. Russian fertilizer exports are down 24% this year. US officials, surprised by the extent of the caution, are in the seemingly paradoxical position of looking for ways to boost them. The Kremlin has called on the US provide assurances to buyers and shippers of its fertilizer and grain that they aren’t subject to sanctions, suggesting it’s a condition of any steps to unblock shipments of Ukrainian farm products now. stop making Trump win again.“For Russia, it’s really important that U.S. authorities send a clear signal that these deals are permitted and in the interest of global food security and they shouldn’t refuse to carry them out,” said Ivan Timofeev, a sanctions specialist at the Kremlin-founded Russian International Affairs Council. Edit:@Sent. - they've been negotiating the deal for couple months at least. | ||

ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkey's defence minister said on Saturday Russian officials had told Ankara that Moscow had "nothing to do" with strikes on Ukraine's Odesa port. "In our contact with Russia, the Russians told us that they had absolutely nothing to do with this attack, and that they were examining the issue very closely and in detail," Defence Minister Hulusai Akar said in a statement. "The fact that such an incident took place right after the agreement we made yesterday really worried us," he added. Source | ||

If this is their expenditure at the moment, it can't be past like, September, right? https://twitter.com/nickschifrin/status/1550475250348879873 I think that is an overinterpretation of that statement. Countries can produce a lot of artillery shells if they so desire. On the first day of the battle of Verdun, more than a million artillery shells were fired. Germany and France fired about 200000 shells a day for about 10 months there. Manufacturing probably got more effective in the mean time, but i guess shells also got more complex. Firing tens of thousands of shells daily is something a country can keep up for a long time. | ||

It has been predicted a few times by some that Russia would lose the capability to continue their war efforts late 2022. | ||

How many shells they made 40 years ago doesn't have to be very relevant to many they can fire today.I don't understand people expecting the Soviet's Union successor to run out of shells in a few months. | ||

You keep firing but more civilians die. | ||
