Viranomaiset varoittavat: Suomen turkistarhaus aiheuttaa edelleen pandemiariskin | Animalia-media
THL sekä Ruokavirasto ovat todenneet, että turkistarhaus aiheuttaa huomattavan riskin uudesta, koronavirustakin vakavammasta pandemiasta.

One obvious reason this could be the case, despite the stimulus impact of the war, is that a lot of dotcoms / tech companies are highly sensitive to the stock market, VC funding, etc.
IOW, revenue from the stock market & VC funding suddenly disappeared, leaving them at the mercy of high rate loans, due to the historically high Russian central bank key rate.
And so, huge swathes of high tech are at risk of debt spirals and ever-increasing rates on loans.

Drone strike in Bryansk region: Possible damage to weapons depot reported
Last night in the Bryansk region of Russia, local authorities reported the repulsion of a drone attack. However, a fire broke out near the city of Karachev, accompanied by explosions, likely caused by a strike on a large ammunition depot, according to Russian media and Telegram channels, and a statement from Serhii Bratchuk, a representative of the Ukrainian Volunteer Army South.

Russian arms warehouse near Markino, Donetsk goes up rather convincingly.

About those massive Russian losses of equipment near Kursk... looks like Ukraine released video of it.
Considering that Russia only has about 5-2 odds on that front, well... I don't think things are going all that well. Whatever gains they are making are just too expensive.

I had mentioned that Russian freight trucks weren't doing well, but... things are getting uglier.
Large numbers of them are getting out of the business entirely, or trying to downsize their truck fleets due, in part, to the high key rate and general unprofitability of trucking in Russia under current circumstances.
They're even facing high incidences of non-payment by their clients!

Ukrainian drone units near Kursk have inflicted huge losses to Russian vehicles and equipment on the roads approaching the conflict zone, while Ukrainian soldiers successfully fend off human wave attacks.

Wishing the Russians and North Koreans a very merry season's defeatings!

"Fighters from the UA_REG Team unit of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck almost a company of Russian army personnel, as well as their North Korean mercenaries.
A video of the combat operation was released on December 17 on the unit's channel.
In total, special forces drones destroyed 50 enemies and wounded 47."

The ruble has lost 1/3rd of its value vs. the yuan, but if you factor in OTHER extra costs...

China strongly limits Russian access to tech in mech. engineering, aviation, and microelectronics.
"...they openly tell us: if you want to get some technologies, buy the product as a whole. We say: no, at best we need components that we'll replace soon. They tell us: we understand this, but aren't going to do it at normal prices. Here is double the price - please.&…

КамАЗ пожаловался на нежелание китайцев делиться технологиями и надеется на возвращение западных партнеров
Российский бизнес, как и власти, надеется на скорое возвращение западных компаний и инвесторов, ушедших из страны после начала полномасштабной войны.
