“Russian War Spending May Be Maxed Out”
“The official budget deficit surged last year, as did off-balance sheet military spending via the banking system and unpaid bills. That might be tough to sustain, especially with lower oil revenues.”

Map of Utilities outages in Russia for the week 19th to the 25th of January. This is by far the worst week I've tracked and one with highest number of long term outages disrupting life. I would point to Murmansk where they're even out of bread in places.

The American people need to start protesting very loudly to release the Epstein Files. This is what will bring Trump down. His cult want him to be king and care less about immigrants. They have to condemn pedophiles. It’s their Christian faith. They can’t demonize us for fighting for the victims.

Apart from what I have posted today on Russian heating and drinking water utilities I have another 3 local news stories that mention the pipes being 80-90% worn out. And one that says 25% of the pipes have to be replaced immediately. Things are grim.

them. Again what’s left is largely scrap.
Russia has eaten through nearly 22,000 tanks from the start of the war - both from losses and cannibalisation for parts. New production is barely two dozen a year. The entire Soviet legacy is gone.
And it’s not much better when it comes to other types.

There’s around 760 T-62 but about half are unusable and never will be. They’re obsolete anyway. Yet that are trying to get those they can into service but it takes ages. The T-64’s are numerous at about 600 but they were built in Ukraine and the Russians don’t have parts or equipment to refurbish

Restaurants around Russia are closing en masse as taxes increase and customers eat in. Take Dominos, for example. The pizza chain survived until late last year, when it started closing most of its locations. In St Petersburg, all but two franchises are permanently closed.
