digitalpigsmuggler Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Ukraine grain markets getting cut off: A row is brewing over Poland and Hungary’s decision to ban grain imports from Ukraine to protect their own agricultural sectors. Reuters reports that a European Commission spokesperson said unilateral action on trade by European Union member states was “not acceptable”. Following Poland and Hungary’s decision, Bulgaria is considering a similar move. Local news agency BTA reported that the agriculture minister, Yavor Gechev, said the country was mulling over a ban on Ukrainian grain imports https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2023/apr/16/russia-ukraine-war-live-kyivs-forces-in-unprecedented-bloody-battles-in-bakhmut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they see Ukraine is successfully sending grain to countries now and this is no longer needed. What the heck, let's see what I can find out. 15 seconds later..... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65292698 Quote Most Ukrainian grain is exported via the Black Sea, but Russia's invasion last year disrupted export routes and resulted in large quantities of the grain ending up in central Europe. A deal with Russia, brokered by the UN and Turkey, allows Ukraine to continue exporting by sea - but Ukraine accuses Russia of slowing the process with over-zealous inspections. Poland and Hungary announced the move on Saturday. The decision came after complaints from local farmers who said they were being undercut by cheaper Ukrainian grain flooding their markets. On Sunday, Polish Economic Development and Technology Minister Waldemar Buda clarified that the ban applied to goods in transit as well as those staying in Poland. He called for talks with Ukraine to set up a scheme to ensure exports pass through Poland and do not end up on the local market. So in short, Poland is protecting it's farmers while still wanting to work towards a resolution that will aid a country it supports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digitalpigsmuggler Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Russia’s oil exports are back to pre-war levels Russia’s oil exports have bounced back to levels last seen before it invaded Ukraine, despite a barrage of Western sanctions. Moscow’s exports of crude oil and oil products rose in March to their highest level since April 2020, jumping by 600,000 barrels a day, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said in its monthly oil report Friday. The rise lifted Russia’s estimated revenue from oil exports to $12.7 billion last month. https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/14/energy/russia-oil-exports-iea-report/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romad1 Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 The Russians know this is coming. Expect their public calls for "peace" to ramp up. They are burned out husks. They have created a line of defenses that will be as stout as Sadaam's. Check that, Sadaam was able the second time around to use suicide bombers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhhh.... he documents on Ukraine leaked are far less explosive in nature – they mostly confirm existing battlefield assessments that cast doubt, in the eyes of US intelligence officials, on any major breakthroughs in a widely expected Ukrainian spring offensive. https://theconversation.com/ukraine-war-pentagon-leaks-paint-gloomy-picture-of-long-war-that-cant-be-won-but-must-not-be-lost-203698 Crimea is an excellent investment opportunity right now.

digitalpigsmuggler Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 NPR’s FRANK LANGFITT reported that both Ukraine and Russia have torn through their best-trained and most-experienced troops. After a year of fighting, both forces now rely heavily on conscripts — a development that favors Russia since Moscow has more people it can call up than Kyiv. the Washington Post’s ISABELLE KHURSHUDYAN, PAUL SONNE and KAREN DeYOUNG dug even deeper, reporting that pessimism and fear is sweeping through Ukrainian ranks. KUPOL, a Ukraine lieutenant colonel, told the Post that his battalion is “unrecognizable” from the group he started out with. We don’t have the people or weapons,” a senior Ukrainian official also told them. “And you know the ratio: When you’re on the offensive, you lose twice or three times as many people. We can’t afford to lose that many people.” https://www.politico.com/newsletters/national-security-daily/2023/03/14/the-bleak-reality-for-ukrainian-soldiers-00086944 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
