The Russian army used most of its military potential in Ukraine

Bloomberg news agency reports that Russia is trying to attract new soldiers and equipment to the fighting in Ukraine, including old tanks based in the Far East. It is noted that the Russian army has already used most of its military potential after the invasion.

During the 100 days of the war, the Russian Federation earned $ 100 billion on fuel exports

The American newspaper The Washington Post writes that Russia earned nearly $100 billion from fuel exports in the first 100 days of the war. China was the largest importer, purchasing over $13 billion worth of fossil fuels during this period. In second place is Germany, which bought fuel in the amount of about 12.6 billion dollars. Ukrainian companies DTEK, Naftogaz and Ukrenergo demand a complete embargo on Russian oil and gas through the #StopBloodyEnergy project.

19th-century technology contributed to the minor successes of the Russian army in Ukraine

The Wall Street Journal writes that the technology of the 19th century – deliveries to the front by rail – contribute to Russia’s recent minor successes in Ukraine. After difficulties with the supply of troops at the beginning of the war, Moscow returned to the delivery methods of the Soviet, and even Tsarist times. Transportation by train is the most popular method for the Russian military to move troops and heavy weapons. In the industrialized region of Donbass, a dense rail network has worked in Moscow’s favor.

Europe began to actively buy African coal instead of Russian

International news agency Reuters reports that European countries, trying to find alternatives to Russian coal, imported 40% more coal from the main export center of South Africa in the first five months of this year than in all of 2021. The Richards Bay Coal Terminal (RBCT) in South Africa delivered 3.24 million tonnes of coal to European countries, representing 15% of RBCT’s total exports, up from 2.32 million (4%) in 2021.

Russia’s war against Ukraine has become a huge challenge for NATO

The New York Times writes that Russia’s war against Ukraine was a huge challenge for NATO and the security structure that helped keep the continent peaceful after World War II. The conflict first exposed divisions within the European Union and NATO. But anger over Putin’s invasion has become a unifying force, though some divisions remain on issues such as NATO expansion.

Earlier, the Segodnya website reported that Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki criticized NATO for insufficient support for Ukraine. In his opinion, the Alliance should make more efforts to protect our country. NATO remains the only structure capable of resisting Russian attacks on Europe.

We also informed that adviser to the head of the President’s Office Mikhail Podolyak announced the exact list of weapons that will help Ukraine to expel the Russian Federation.
