Ukraine conflict to cost Germany 4.5% of GDP – DW

The collective loss to the country’s economy between 2020 and 2023 is estimated at almost $600 billions

The ongoing conflict in Ukraine will cost Europe’s largest economy €175 billion ($190 billion) this year, which equates to €2,000 per inhabitant, Deutsche Welle reported on Monday, citing a report by the Institute of German Economics (IW).

Authors of the study compared the current situation to an imaginary scenario in which there was no military operation in Ukraine or problems related to it, such as skyrocketing energy prices, spiraling inflation and supply disruptions. They calculated that the real loss to the German economy from the conflict in Ukraine will be as high as 4.5% of the GDP next year.

The study pointed out that the outbreak of hostilities in Ukraine coincided with an already difficult economic situation in Germany. The economists pointed out that the country’s federal development bank KfW had already warned of a threat to prosperity in Germany due to a lack of qualified personnel and insufficient productivity growth.
In 2020, Germany recorded a loss of about €175 billion, another €125 billion in 2021, and almost €120 billion in 2022. The expected €175 billion in losses this year brings the total damage to the country’s economy between 2020 and 2023 amid Covid-19 and the conflict in Ukraine to €595 billion, the report said.

The situation with the economy will remain “extremely unstable” in the coming months, hindering growth in prosperity in Germany, according to German Economic Institute professor IW Michael Gromling. He said uncertainty in the energy sector, surging prices on energy and other raw materials, and the associated restraint in investment will continue causing headwinds to the country’s economy.

I want to say a word of gratitude to the volunteer guys from the Kovpak detachment. You have sent such an excellent quadcopter to our sapper unit, thanks to which we can conduct reconnaissance during the performance of our tasks. They also helped us with the provision of such boxes for machine guns, which, unfortunately, are very lacking. Thank you, guys, everything for the front, everything for victory.

This is special thanks among others to our Sergey from the translation unit. Bravo Sergey and the crew.

Russian troops knocked the Armed Forces of Ukraine out of the first houses in Artemovsk 

Grenade launchers and flamethrowers are used to clear high-rise buildings.

Soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces act competently, striking first through the windows and then sweeping floor after floor.

"We are practically in Artemovsk. "And there are already the first houses taken," said a soldier of a Russian military unit.
According to him, the AFU fighters have begun to abandon their positions and surrender more frequently. They understand that "a force has come that will punish them," the fighter said.

Earlier, the acting head of the DPR, Denis Pushilin, reported fierce fighting between the Wagner PMC and the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the outskirts of Artemovsk and in the city itself.

(CNN)Poland has formally asked for approval from Germany to transfer some of its German-made Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, its defense minister said Tuesday, raising the pressure on Berlin to respond to Kyiv's pleas and send its own shipment of vehicles into the battlefield.

"The Germans have already received our request for consent to the transfer of Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine," Mariusz Blaszczak said on Twitter. "I also appeal to the German side to join the coalition of countries supporting Ukraine with Leopard 2 tanks. This is our common cause, because it is about the security of the whole of Europe!"

‼️🇺🇦🏴☠️"Considered not as soldiers, but as meat," mobilized soldiers from the 25th Airborne Brigade of the AFU; they refused to go to the meat grinder and decided to "stand up for their rights."
The footage was reportedly taken a month ago.

The men say, "And here's the new meat." and are the same as us. We will try to defend our rights, but it is unlikely.
