Wheat futures:
Quote:
Wheat futures in the US soared past $6.9 per bushel in June, the highest in two months, after Russian officials stated that under current circumstances, the deal guaranteeing a trade corridor for Ukrainian grain exports would not be extended past its July 17th due date. An eventual halt of Ukrainian Black Sea grain exports will remove a key supply source from usual Middle Eastern and African market players, risking shortages. Ukrainian supplies also remain under pressure from the blast at the Kakhovska hydroelectric dam, which caused key wheat-growing regions to lose their water supply and exacerbate ongoing drought conditions. Elsewhere, dry weather in the Midwest threatened to lower yields in the US, backtracking earlier forecasts of record-high supply in the country. On the other hand, a bumper harvest in Russia raised export forecasts to nearly 60 million tonnes. Strong output is also expected from the EU and India

Counting Russia's dead in Ukraine - and what it says about the changing face of the war

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources...0-6990f2c4e5d0

Quote:
When the war began, the typical Russian fighter whose death was recorded in the BBC's count was about 21 years old and a low-ranking professional soldier - just like Sgt Nikita Loburets. In recent months, the typical Russian soldier killed in Ukraine is a 34-year-old convict recruited from prison.

Russia lost large numbers of professional solders in the first three months of the war. But in the latest three months, non-professional soldiers are dying in far greater numbers.

Russia is deliberately protecting its remaining professionals, using them to hold ground and carry out sniper attacks, and only to undertake rare assaults when conditions are right.

Expertise is harder to come by now. The BBC has confirmed the deaths of more than 2,100 Russian military officers - perhaps because Russia relies more on junior officers for combat leadership than Western countries, putting them in harm's way.

At least 242 held the rank of lieutenant-colonel or higher.

At least 159 fighter pilots have also been killed, according to the count. These cannot be replaced on a practical timescale: it takes a minimum of seven years and millions of dollars to train them.

These losses have forced veterans out of retirement, such as Mai Gen Kanamat Botashev.

His military career was halted in 2012 when he borrowed an Su-27 fighter jet without permission and crashed it. In May last year, at the age of 63, he was piloting an Su-25 ground attack aircraft when it was shot down over Luhansk in eastern Ukraine.

He was not the oldest person in our count of the dead.

Based on the results of some enemy attacks over the past 24 hours. (6/19/23)

At the positions of the 5th motorized rifle company of the 291st motorized rifle regiment, 41 corpses of enemy soldiers were counted.

In front of the positions of the 9th motorized rifle company of the 70th motorized rifle regiment, 27 units of burned-out wheeled and tracked vehicles remained

Counting after yesterday's fights continues.
Ours also have losses, but much less than those of the enemy. The men waved for more than a day and the enemy failed to bend them.

In the morning, the enemy continued to attack and had already managed to lose up to 7 units of various equipment in different areas.

The post above (https://t.me/yurasumy/9342), these are the exact losses only at two breakthrough points near Orekhovy. The enemy also had losses near Velikaya Novoselka and in the Pyatikhatki area. And therefore the figures of the RF Ministry of Defense today:

"Over 200 Ukrainian servicemen, 33 tanks, 30 infantry fighting vehicles and 35 armored fighting vehicles were destroyed in the course of hostilities in the Zaporozhye direction alone in a day."

If not exact, then very close to them. Plus, approximately 400-500 soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were wounded. This is the result of yesterday's battles.

The enemy has been relatively quiet since morning today. Obviously in shock from yesterday's failure.

In a just world, Putin would be - and should be - tried and executed.
But he knows that. That's why he is very careful about leaving Russia, or even where he goes within Russia.


Putin keeps trying to find sane people who still want to talk to him. But the circle is getting smaller by the day. In a few more months Putin will be meeting with representatives of Arctic indigenous tribes to discuss their peace plan for Ukraine.


Rykove, occupied Kherson, a very large ammunition depot with hours long cook-off that is still ongoing. Hasn't been an ammo dump this large, visually confirmed by multiple videos with extended cook-offs in months. Unknown if this was Storm Shadow, UAV, or another smoking accident.



Kremlin mouthpiece Dmitry Peskov said that the task of Ukraine's de-militarization had been "largely fulfilled”. What he meant to say is that after losing 217,910 soldiers and almost 4,000 tanks Russia is rapidly demilitarizing itself!

So Putin is the ultimate hypocrite precisely because he is Russian.

Anglos are less hypocritical in this sense, because their whole history/philosophy are closely tied to trade and money.

What's there is to remember?
It's just someone's words, but it doesn't mean that everyone lives by them.
There are laws put in place to control the power of money (otherwise US would have been a typical third world country, with gated communities and the rest) already long time ago. Plus the Christian ethics that instill the morals in society and keep greed at bay. At least that's what it used to be for many years, until currently the society started falling apart.

In Russia the power of money is much more ugly and unrestricted by anything, and thus is more dangerous, since the church as well cooperates with the "rich and powerful" more than anything.

Yet of course it's all very convenient to point at it as "jewsdidit."

In reality it's not "Jews" but greedy Russians who love money and are cozying up to Jews, because they themselves are not too good in banking and "making money out of thin air."



It's fine, what you believe. If born to a Jew mother, that's done and over.
Though, on the other hand, there is standard of the proper Russian language, that being The Dahl Vocabulary of the Russian Language. It is a classic dictionary of Russian.
In it, there is word entry "zhyd". In general. "zhyd" is considered a derogatory word for Jew though, in Polish, that is one and only word for them and, in French or German, Jew is literated as Jude, which is, basically, same pronunciation as the Russian term.
One of the word zhyd explanations in Dahl dictionary is "very greedy person".

So you got the point there.

But either way, we have, what we have and stubborn facts are stubborn facts. Countries are run by richest elites and richest elite in Russia is... yes.

It's a different story, who runs the richest elite. If you want answer to that question or, at least, a solid opinion on it, you may want to consider educating yourself on KOB - Kontseptsiya Obshchestvennoy Bezopasnosti, Concept of the Societal Security. Crowd/elite society. They have their own theory on who and why uses Jews for their own goal. Using them, in its turn, as shield and scapegoats.

So it's not that simple.

Layers, underlayers, and more underlayers.


I have a stupid question though. With all the financial might gathered through centuries, network of key positioned people, pretty much, running all the west - WHAT FOR? How stupid are you to not realize a simple, unquestionable fact. You WILL die. You will NOT take a penny with you. When you die, you die just like a lowest pariah in India.

WHAT FOR? If you are so smart - you don't see that?

Re South African PEACE mission, this is kind of funny…

South African President's bodyguards bring 12 containers of weapons to Poland
Quote:
The security team of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has tried to unload 12 containers of weapons in Poland, Polish media report.
The guards tried to unload the containers from the plane but were stopped. The article includes a photo of the 12 big containers.
Quote:
The head of the President's guard accused the Polish government of "deliberately sabotaging" the peace mission of the South African president. He added that the behaviour of the Polish authorities was "shocking and racist".
