🇷🇺🇺🇦 The enemy in armored vehicles began a new wave of offensive operations near Orekhovo on the Rabotino-Verbovoye line, at the junction of the positions of the already well-known 291st and 70th regiments.

The enemy carried out artillery preparation and a column of enemy equipment is trying to break through to our positions, firing.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine have already suffered the first losses in armored vehicles and assault infantry.

The enemy is conducting the first day attack in recent times, before that he preferred night offensive operations.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 According to the situation at 11 o'clock.

Despite the ongoing attacks and losses, the enemy was never able to achieve significant results in the area of Pyatikhatki, Rabotino and Novodarovka.

🇪🇺⛽️ We on the Multipolarity Podcast have consistently said that the European gas crisis is not over: the high-fiving and back slapping was premature. Demand destruction helped last winter, but, as we see below, the market is fragile.

🇪🇺💵 Looks like the Europeans are getting nervous about the impact of the Russian reserve seizures on the viability of the euro as a global currency. Much of the damage has, however, been done.

🇺🇸🏦 “The American economy is in a rough spot. For the last 18 months the economy has been mired in stagnation. Since the fourth quarter of 2022, it has only grown 1.2 percent in inflation-adjusted terms. For context, the average rate of growth over five quarters between 2010 and 2020 was around 2.7 percent—and economists have typically thought of the period after 2008 as being sluggish for growth. Turning to face future prospects, there seems every chance that things are set to get worse, not better.”

🇪🇺🇬🇧🪖 As I predicted, military budgets in Europe will not increase. That would require economic growth; instead, Europe is facing recession (and deindustrialisation) due in no small part to sanctions on Russia, the country which they want to raise military budgets to counteract.

We have already seen the UK top brass admit it will take *a decade* just to replace the arms sent to Ukraine (and thus return to an already inadequate prewar level). Now it's clear that Germany's grand plans are falling by the wayside. Europe is more reliant on the US than ever.
