Russia has a plan called “Diversionary Noise”, personally approved by Putin, to escalate terror attacks and explosions across Ukraine.

The civilian maritime fleet renewal program that russia heavily promoted in 2023 has been cut by over 40% due to chronic funding shortages. While the plan aimed to build 260 commercial, fishing, and cruise vessels over five years, the project’s implementation is now in serious doubt.
