News of a critical counterattack by Ukraine in Pokrovsk

Needing to unblock key lines of logistics, UKR troops have been daringly dropped-in by low flying helicopters in territory Russian claimed was captured.

My initial reaction is it's a huge gamble, but the only other option was to retreat.

🤔 I guess it’s worth pointing out that…if they don’t massively devalue the ruble at the end of the year, then the liquid assets on the NWF wouldn’t stretch as far to cover deficit costs.

I’m not sure if that played any part in the decision change regarding the deficit.
