The summary of the situation of Russian re-invasion to Ukraine covering the recent developments on the battlefield, as of 13th August 2023 – 22:00 (Kyiv time).

A little details on the Kupyansk situation
Big Russian losses near Andrijivka – it seems like a failed Russian counterattack. Also has anyone else noticed a considerable drop in the quality of Russian propaganda?
I am noticing a considerable drop in the Rubel and a major interest rate uptick didn´t change that. The Dollar nominated GDP of Russia will probabaly fall strongly this year. The economical atrittion is picking up speed.
I’d not call this ‘a drop’. It is just a correction to the proper value of the currency artificially kept at the high exchange rate by the NB. It is however double sideed – Ru exportes (and there still are ofc.) are quite happy. Import on the other hand.. well. Not peachy at all. And ofc. Iran won;t sell anything ‘for rubles’ (neither China, India or even NK).
But it is also to the detriment of the Russian population. The high prices of commodities and interest on loans increase even more. And that with an extremely indebted population. However, since the people cannot defend themselves against it because high penalties are threatened, they then leave the country.
Yes, the big message is the interest rate hike necessary. 12 points is no good news for any country. We still have to see how this all plays out for the rest of the year, that is a full year of commodity and other sanctions and full scale war at normal commodity prices. After that we will have a good picture of how bad things stand for Russia.
Btw, if you are interested, Ukraine is on track to stabilize robustly this year, with some GDP growth and easing interest rates. This will probably go on as long as the west stays committed driven by military investments. This will obviously stay modest as long as the conflict stays hot
taking into account the destruction and complete derailment of normal economy, they indeed, are doing quite well. Much better than anybody expected.
not immediately (that’s 1st) and not for the gross of population which doees not really buy anything imported that much.
And remember that you are talking about the populous used to live in poverty (an extreme one in the European or even American in some cases) standards.
This will hurt mostly ‘Planet Moskow’ (etc.). The real consequences will come later. Now it’s more psychological that ‘100R’.
and now Putin’s The Master Strategists started mumbling about forcing exportersto exchange ~80% of aquired by export $$$ for allmighty Rubel.
So… exporters are not happy anymore.
// just do not start being overexcited. NK and Iran still are ‘going just fine’; proportionally, ‘sorta’, somewhat like that. Shit-state can be unnervingly resilient.
for urozhaune, another video show a Ukr column circulating in the village and stop by russian artillery. First vehicule stop near the big antenna. Its where tanks are shooting.
All the village is free (may be still russian in industrial aera or in small forest near the river).
the smog of war hide us the frontline. did they control the tree lign on the road outside the village?
“Ukrainian forces advanced and reached the center of Urozhaine” Is this good news?
Yes good news ukraine recaptured this village.
