It does bring up the question of exactly how much Ukraine is shelling, and exactly what type of systems are they using. Perhaps even the honestly paltry amount of shells being sent from Nordic countries may not even that unreasonable if there aren�t guns to fire them.

Basically, it is unclear what the �6-7k� of shells being fired a day means.

A few day is probably right as they don't seem to be doing heavy fire mission. They don't want to stay in place too long and might want to preserve the gun a bit because barrel wear will start to be an issue at some point unless they keep getting new units or at least barrels if they send the current one for service. The Russians can probably afford to gently caress around a bit more with their units because the potential loss of accuracy is being mitigated by volume of fire.

There is also the question if the Russians rather than concentrating their guns on counter battery fire (which may be quite difficult considering how much the Ukrainians are maneuvering their guns around), are instead simply focusing on infantry/armored targets, and letting drones do most of the lifting.

They very likely may have to simply demolish those apartments in Western Bakhmut and ditto for a similar cluster in Vuhledar or they are simply going to take too many losses from snipers and atgms (comparable to the grain silo at Stalingrad).

Russia doesn't bother with counter battery for one or two systems.

At least that's the supposed explanation for why Donetsk has been shelled from Avdeevka this entire time.

Of course Avdeevka is also a stronghold that's been standing for years despite all the attempts at taking it.

People can talk all day about the story for NV, but when I compare trying to get invested in it, to FO3 where right from the intro going through your childhood in the vault, to then stepping out over that cliff, seeing the wasteland spread out before you, a bombed out city right in your path, with a propaganda robot around, leading right over to a giant crater city with a nuke in the center being worshiped, the ruins of washington DC off in the distance, FO3 wins every time despite all its problems and lame main story. There was so much more life in the physical world of FO3 that made me want to just start sprinting off in every direction, as brown as it may be.

Bethesda style open world games live and die I think by the world design, not the plots, and thats where they stayed ahead of so many open world games. Games just full of samey locations, beautiful rendered though they may be, that don't tell much of a story just looking at them. If i want a great story I'll read a book or watch a film, but if i'm playing a game, an open world one, I want to feel like theres wonder around every corner with something new to see, far off lands in the distances framed in shot that beckon to come explore.

Specifically for Avdeevka it's fortification and speed.

It's an AFU stronghold so they have everything pre sighted/fired already. Ukrainian artillery doesn't spend enough time out in the open to get hit by Russian return fire, and it would take too many resources to keep a look out for a single artillery piece before it fires. It's either demolish the city or take it.

I'd say taking Avdeevka would be the real morale victory for DLNR side. They've been at it for years, it just doesn't get a huge PR campaign for half a year like Bakhmut did.

quote:

The head of the State Property Fund (FDMU) Rustem Umyerov about the privatization of the Mykolaiv Alumina Plant, the Russian share of the Ocean Plaza shopping center and thousands of other Russian assets, what he thinks about the case of his predecessor Sennichenko and when the big privatization can start.

Forbes' conversation with the head of the State Property Fund, Rustem Umyerov, 40, took place almost simultaneously with the publication by NABU and SAP of a high-profile case about abuse of state-owned enterprises by the former management of the fund. Dmytro Sennychenko, the ex-head of the FDMU, was suspected in this case.

Umyerov says that the management of the fund had questions for the management and boards of the Odesa Port Plant (OPZ) and the United Mining and Chemical Company (OGHC).

The former people's deputy has been the head of the FDMU for more than half a year. During this time, even despite the war, he managed to launch small privatization and attract more than UAH 2.5 billion to the budget.

In the coming months, Umerov will face a new challenge � the Office of the President (OP) plans to transfer confiscated Russian assets from the Agency for Investigation and Asset Management (ARMA) to the FSMU.

ARMA was unable to find managers for most of the confiscated enterprises in a year of work. The FSMU is optimistic and plans to privatize the Mykolaiv Alumina Plant, which belonged to the Russian businessman Oleg Deripaska, and the Russian part of the Ocean Plaza shopping center in the spring and summer.

What is the fund's strategy for other confiscated Russian assets?

This is a shortened and edited version of the interview with Rustem Umyerov for clarity.

Q: NABU and SAP have handed suspicions to the ex-head of the State Property Fund, Dmytro Sennychenko, for allegedly organizing a criminal scheme at the Odesa Port Plant and the United Mining Company. Do you know anything about this case? Is management fired?

A: I just heard about her from you. I have not seen the details of the case, it is difficult for me to comment on it. It is good that law enforcement officers are working to identify such schemes, but it is bad for the reputation of the fund. The current team cares about the foundation's reputation.

Over the past six months, our team has analyzed and audited many assets of the fuel and energy complex, the mining and metallurgical complex and other 12 industries. There were many questions for many boards and management. According to the results, the acting director has already been dismissed. head of the OGHC.

We are working on the situation with OPZ. Recommendations were sent to the supervisory board regarding the review of the current composition of the OPZ management. The foundation also took measures to change the board. We have already sent the draft decision to the CMU.

Q: What did your audit actually show? Have these schemes been eliminated now?

A: In order not to go into details, I can give several examples. At one of the mining enterprises, goods worth $3 million were shipped to an intermediary. The intermediary still hasn't paid for this product, and the company hasn't even filed a lawsuit in court for three months. Simply put, the state gave $3 million worth of raw materials to a dubious intermediary company. Although according to the contract, the state enterprise did not have the right to ship products without 100% prepayment.

Another example: the results of the audit revealed the facts of lack of raw materials at the enterprise for 23 million hryvnias. There are many such examples. The head of this enterprise has already been dismissed by the FSMU, and all audit materials have been sent to the SBU and NABU.

Q: Before the war, the fund planned to tender the assets of "Centerenergo" and OGHC. Is this in the plans now?

A: We plan to exhibit all large objects in the second-third quarter. Plan "A" is to privatize. Plan "B" - if there is no demand for these objects, then we will begin to develop these enterprises in the long term and make them attractive for investors in the future. We are waiting for the adoption of Law No. 8250 on the optimization of the structure of the FSMU, which contains a condition for unblocking large-scale privatization. There is unity among the deputies, so we are waiting for adoption in the near future in the second reading.

Q: You have a large array of work ahead of you with complex, sensitive assets. Currently, there are many cases of NABU and SAP against former civil servants, such as Andriy Pivovarskyi and Andriy Kobolev. Aren't you afraid that one day the law enforcement officers will come to you with questions?

A: You can just do nothing - sit around in a chair and then leave. We take all steps regarding privatization together with the VRU and the Cabinet of Ministers. Therefore, these are well-thought-out, balanced decisions. If there are questions about our work, we will explain, but I don't want to be afraid and I won't.

Q: You have been in office for six months, how has the FSMU changed during this time?

A: When I took office, the fund managed about 35% of all state-owned enterprises in the country (in total, there are 3,600+ state-owned enterprises in Ukraine).

Today, together with the CMU, we managed to unite in management more than 2,300 enterprises, which is 65% of all state-owned companies. Unfortunately, 85% of them are unprofitable and do not work. Our hope is to unite all state enterprises in the fund.

The fund encourages businesses to invest in the country during the war. From September 2022, the economic effect of the work of the FSMU amounted to more than UAH 5.1 billion. Of these, UAH 2.4 billion was raised from small-scale privatization. Another UAH 2.3 billion - thanks to the prevention of fraudulent schemes regarding real estate valuation. In addition, dubious transactions at state-owned enterprises worth UAH 500 million were stopped. It is also important that more than 6,000 people who work at 12 enterprises under the management of the Federal State University have fully paid their salary arrears. We are still working on more than 30 enterprises to pay off all debts.

45 enterprises were brought to profitability, five enterprises to break-even. Among the profitable ones, for example, the State Institute for Designing Enterprises of the Coke Chemical Industry or "Indar" - a company that produces insulin. As for personnel changes, unscrupulous managers were replaced at 77 facilities based on the results of audits.

Q: There is an impression that the FSMU is currently a basket where the authorities are trying to put all "difficult topics". Currently, the Verkhovna Rada is preparing a law on the transfer of assets owned by ARMA to the fund. Do you know how many objects are concentrated in ARMA?

We hope that the relevant law will reach the parliament and be adopted in the near future. The Fund has already started consultations with the Verkhovna Rada, CMU and ARMA regarding the transfer of the management functions of the FSMU. Adoption of the law as a whole may take about a month.

Currently, it is not yet known how many assets are concentrated in ARMA.

Q: OP insists that objects with Russian beneficiaries be privatized "quickly". Do you have certain deadlines from the president or the OP chairman?

A: The FSMU has already handed over the assets of fugitive President Viktor Yanukovych and Russian businessman Volodymyr Yevtushenkov, as well as Demurinsky GZK, which belonged to Russian businessman Mykhailo Shelkov. We are preparing to put Demurinsky GZK up for privatization. As for other assets, we are still working on taking them into management.

If the state hands over to us other Russian assets that will be confiscated by a court decision, we will put them up for privatization. We move on all cases as quickly as possible.

Q: Currently, "Mezhyhirya", for which ARMA could not find an investor for several years, has already been transferred to the fund. It is planned to create a state park in its place. Why was it not put up for privatization?

A: FSMU has not received these assets under management yet. Only a government decision has been made about it. We will take control of "Mezhyhirya" only for a certain time. Then the state, in the person of the Ministry of Culture, will create a monument park on its base. We will sell everything that does not fall under the signs of a national monument.

Q: The fund also received the assets of Russian businessman Oleg Deripaska. There are certain environmental risks with these facilities. Have the FSMU employees already inspected these assets, what is the condition of the facility?

A: Legally, the Mykolaiv Alumina Plant has not yet reached the management of the Federal State Medical University. As soon as we get it under management, we plan to quickly put it up for auction.

In general, it takes 60-90 days to prepare an object for privatization. It is realistic to start privatization of the plant in the second-third quarter of this year.

Until the announcement of the auction, the fund will operate in the same way as it did at Demurinsky GZK. 40 million hryvnias were needed to start the company there. We looked at the available assets and decided to put the products that were preserved at GZK on Prozorro. And with these funds, the company was launched and salaries were paid.

Q: Before the war, the Mykolaiv Alumina Plant was valued at $1 billion. What can it be worth now?

A: We list the assets for privatization at book value, and then the market determines the final price. It is still difficult to say its book value.

It is necessary to see what is left of resources, debts, to analyze accounting and financial statements. Currently, the plant is not working, we will look for a way out, how to make it work.

Q: Another object that can be transferred to the fund is the Ocean Plaza shopping center. Your adviser, Oleksandr Nosachenko, in a Forbes comment estimated it at a minimum of $160 million. Do you agree with this estimate and how does the fund see the privatization of this asset?

A: We are interested in putting it up for auction as soon as possible. A legal, technical and financial audit must be conducted beforehand.

Oleksandr has a lot of experience, I think his estimate is close to the truth, but the final price will be determined by the market. As for the terms - the same as with Mykolaivsk: 90 days for the audit - and you can announce the auction. The main thing is for this asset to reach us legally.

Q: A share of the asset belongs to Ukrainian businessmen Vasyl Khmelnytskyi and Andriy Ivanov. Won't the forced partnership lead to misunderstandings and eventually block the work of the mall?

A: Currently, the state owns 66.65% of the shares, and we believe that this object should be sold. Our lawyers will hold consultations with Ukrainian asset owners and hear their proposals regarding this situation. I always task lawyers to study all the risks associated with an asset and propose the optimal solution.

Q: Of these three cases, there is already a decision of the VAKS, but there is still no court decision regarding the rest of ARMA's assets. How does the fund plan to sell seized assets for privatization?

A: FSMU has a mandate to manage assets. While the asset is under arrest, the FSMU can manage it, analyze it and start preparations for the auction. Another option is to find a third-party manager. But this should be prescribed separately in the legislation, because currently the FSMU does not have such a function. When all legal issues will be resolved and the asset will become state property by court decision, we will put it up for privatization.

Q: Will you be more effective than ARMA, given that they are doing similar work now?

A: If you look at our work over the past five to six months, we have successfully launched and are carrying out small privatization (in 2022, we exceeded the plan several times). In a short period of time, more than half (65%) of the state assets were consolidated and we are already working effectively with them - we have brought almost half a hundred enterprises to profitability. ARMA's strategy is to put everything under the control of the market. Our strategy is to give a part to the market, and if the manager does not fulfill the CRI, leave the part in the state management.

Q: Will the search for managers take place through Prozorro?

A: We are currently discussing this issue with the parliament. Some are in favor of advisers and the involvement of investment banks, others are in favor of Prozorro. Plan "A" is the search for managers through Prozorro. Plan "B" is to explore other possibilities.

Q: One of the problems that ARMA says is that only corporate rights are sold to the agency, and not the property complexes themselves, which reduces the interest of potential investors in these assets. Will the fund insist on seizure and transfer together with corporate rights and property complexes?

A: We want to study the assets and then make a decision.

Q: The fears we hear from people's deputies regarding the privatization of Russian assets: Russian beneficiaries may come to the competition with conditional dummy FOPs, so if they win the competition, this will create risks of the same owners regaining control of the assets. Do you see such risks and how are you going to counter them?

A: Currently, the FSMU issues all assets through "Prozorro.Sales". After the auction, we send the winner's data to specialized - law enforcement, anti-corruption and other - bodies for verification. Usually, within 10 days, the authorities inform us who is the final beneficiary of these assets. And only after that we sign the sales contract.

Q: Another risk is that assets will be tendered at book value, not at appraised value. That reduces the potential income of the state from such assets. Does the fund plan to evaluate these objects?

A: This is stipulated in the law, so we work according to the conditions that have been approved. Our practice shows that the market adjusts the price by itself. On average, it increases several times. We want to inform potential bidders more about the auctions. Develop a plan to attract foreign investors, etc. There is a lot of work ahead, but in the case of small privatization, we proved that the market is ready to invest.

Q: In mid-March, People's Deputy Mykola Tyshchenko said that they plan to transfer the State Enterprise "Forests of Ukraine" to the fund, and this will apparently allow the privatization of forests to begin. Is such a decision really being prepared?

A: I have not heard about it yet, but if it is a state-owned enterprise, it is possible that it will be transferred to us. We made a decision with the Parliament and the Cabinet of Ministers that all state affairs will be transferred to the FSMU. We want to become a single platform and registry of all state-owned enterprises and assets. And together with the Verkhovna Rada and the Cabinet of Ministers, make decisions about them. For example, if these assets bring us long-term value, then we keep them in-state and turn them into national, regional or global champions. If not, we will privatize.

Q: How does the fund work with the National Bank?

A: Together with the National Bank and the Ministry of Finance, we must develop criteria for state-owned or sanctioned banks - which can be liquidated, which can be recapitalized, which can be sold. We are currently developing a road map.

Q: At what stage is the creation of the Sovereign Fund? What enterprises can enter it?

A: We will start working on the law on the Sovereign Fund in the third quarter of this year. Together with the Cabinet of Ministers, we have to decide which assets will go there. Currently, out of 3,600 state assets, approximately 2,600 need to be reorganized/liquidated because they exist only on paper. Of the 1,000 that remain, 700 are in the occupied territories. That is, we have access to only 300 assets - we plan to privatize 250 of them, and leave 50 in the state.

Q: In 2022, the FSMU set a goal of earning 600 million hryvnias from small-scale privatization, as a result, more than 2.5 billion hryvnias came out. How can you personally explain the success of small privatization? What amount do you plan to attract to the budget in 2023?

A: When we opened a small privatization, we were sure that business is interested in investing in Ukraine now. FSMU provides business opportunities. For example, we offer ready-made sites with connected communications in all regions of Ukraine to relocate your company. Buying an "abandoned" enterprise and renovating it is easier and faster than building something new from scratch.

The fund has a task for this year - to attract UAH 6 billion in the 2023 budget, but on the condition that a law is passed that opens large-scale privatization.

Q: In which objects are Ukrainian entrepreneurs willing to invest? Who are among the leaders of small privatization? And which assets are more difficult to work with?

A: The greatest demand for agrarian enterprises is bread production plants, elevators, and distilleries. I cannot say that there are assets that are difficult to work with.

There are interesting cases. For example, there are several enterprises - they were once used as sites for storage or disposal of products of defense enterprises, and now - unprofitable, non-working enterprises for years. We submit such enterprises for privatization. Opponents begin to distort and say that the fund is selling "the last defense enterprise of the country", which is not true.

It is difficult to restore business confidence that the privatization process is transparent, because there was distrust in the fund and civil servants. We will change it.

I played solo for the first 10 or 13 levels without any issues, before I quit because two months of Fallout 1/2/4 was more than I could take.

They wrote the setting that the area you're in was heavily automated so a lot of the NPCs you run into are robots.

In Ultimate general: civil war the Parrots have better range and damage but are rarer while the Napoleons are cheaper and can be massed.

its fun massing parrots to snipe secessionist artillery.

I hated how bethesda made VATS worse with each game until it was just some lovely autoaim for a multiplayer game.

I liked when it would just straight up pause the game for as long as you would like so you could have a think, grab a drink whatever, and weren't rushed. I don't know why on earth they felt it was necessary in FO4 to keep the game running in slow mo during it. Just pause the bloody game, don't make me feel like a clock is ticking down and i'm unders stress to act fast! sheesh.
