lmao only 17 of 54 African leaders/reps turned up to the Russia/Africa summit.

Unless Russia pulls something out of the bag, the offensive up north is done. 3 fronts got dumpstered and a 4th managed to gain 3 hamlets but they can't be reinforced due lack of buildings/cover. Logisitics have to hot tail it over open fields in range of Ukraine arty to supply them.

Oh, it costs nothing to give away stolen grain for free, right? Cynical fuckers.

Even more - they can only really do this once. The land they've gained in Russia is incapable of pulling this stunt again and won't actually buy them much goodwill.

He will even provide security for free! In the format of permanent Wagner bases funded by the host countries receiving free grain.

Russia produced like 92m tons of grain last year.

Now that figure is probably inflated by lies, but still gives an idea of just how tiny the gifted amount is.

UN stats say 76 million tons in 2021. So kind of the Russians to give away 0.07% of their annual production for free.

For comparison, Black Sea Initiative allowed export of more than 30 million tonnes since July last year.

Ethiopia by itself has 120 million people. That amount of grain is not even enough to cover caloric needs for 1 day, for just Ethiopia.

What makes me laugh is that putin has probably taken the worst decision here (shock). There were numerous options.

Hand out millions of grain for free
Say sorry and sign loads of IOU's for w/e at a later date
Do/give something tangible if it's not food
Admit you are trying to starve Ukraine cash flow

Instead you hand over what is the equivalent of an old stale piece of bread and act like a magnanimous cock because you gave it away for free.

A fully loaded cargo ship holds 50 to 60 thousand tonnes, so that's basically one ship.

If my back of the envelope maths are roughly correct, it averages out to about 3/4 of a single slice of bread for everyone in Africa.

A garrison surrendered.

The south is lighting up as Ukraine forces are storming the shaped battle spaces.

Let's see how things go for the next few days but initial reporting seems good. If Ukraine did infact encircle and surrender a garrison they are moving quicker than before.

I first became aware of it, Vladimir, during the physical act of love...Yes, a profound sense of fatigue, a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence. I can assure you it has not recurred, Vladimir. Women, er, women sense my power, and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women, Vladimir...but I do deny them my essence.

I see Prigozhin goes to the same generic men's clothing store with the "three cheap rear end polo shirts for the price of two" deal that I go to.


I bet he fucks with the same intensity and conviction he coups the Russian government.
