 T72 ural tanks that could be purchased for cheaply and used as the basis for t72EA tanks. They weren’t in the best of shape but could be rebuilt to like new condition. It’s an older photo and these have been in storage for a while. |

‘It’s a survival issue’: Ukraine looks to arm itself as Western support slips
Even as Russian bombs rain down, Kyiv seeks to show that it’s open for business. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/10/02/ukraine-looks-to-arm-itself-as-western-support-slips-00119528 In a hotel conference room in Kyiv late last week, Ukrainian leaders huddled with hundreds of defense industry officials and policymakers from allied countries. The message was clear: Ukraine is open for business. Despite the specter of Russian missile fire in the Ukrainian capital, the International Industries Defense Forum was eerily similar to the panel-laden conferences that pop up many times a year in Washington and London. But the stakes were different for this one, as Ukraine finds its supporters running out of weapons to send while others are increasingly wary of committing more money to the conflict. With the charm offensive directed at weapons-makers around the world, the country is effectively trying to take matters into its own hands.... Two European defense contractors have already said they’re in. Rheinmetall, a German arms giant, has said it would work with Ukraine’s state arms company, Ukroboronprom, to build tanks and armored vehicles. British-based BAE has also announced it is opening an office in Kyiv and is looking into making 105mm guns in Ukraine. Czechia also flooded the event with a large delegation, reflecting the country’s all-in approach to helping Kyiv beat back the Russian invasion. The largest defense firms in the country, also known as the Czech Republic, have for months employed Ukrainian workers in their factories, which are churning out night vision devices, ammunition, and other weapons in co-production deals with Ukrainian companies. One Czech official who attended the event said the goal is to move that production to Ukraine as soon as possible. It’s all part of a larger and growing refrain among Ukrainian officials, which is “we will have to become an Israel in Europe — self-sufficient but with help from other countries,” said Daniel Vajdich, president of Yorktown Solutions, which advocates on behalf of Ukraine in Washington. That effort will rely on co-production deals “that will develop capabilities in the region initially and then in-country when possible.” Leaders in Kyiv want that day to come sooner rather than later, an urgency that’s been bolstered by comments from several Western officials over the past few weeks that weapons are running out and allies haven’t significantly ramped up their production lines to keep up with demand. |

At EU meeting with Zelenskyy, Lithuanian minister stresses hope for NATO enlargement  At a meeting of EU foreign ministers with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday, Lithuania's top diplomat, Gabrielius Landsbergis, stressed the Alliance's desire to continue its enlargement and provide military support to Kyiv. "Currently, other authoritarian regimes are watching our reaction to Russia's war against Ukraine, which has been going on for more than a year and a half," the Foreign Ministry quoted Landsbergis as saying at a meeting in Kyiv. "How they will project their actions depends on our muscles." "I believe that this historic meeting of EU foreign ministers in Kyiv demonstrates a solemn commitment to the continuation of the enlargement of the European Union and the continuation of military assistance to Kyiv," he added. This is the first time EU foreign ministers have held an informal meeting in Ukraine, and Josep Borrell, the EU's foreign policy chief, called the decision "historic." In Kyiv, EU foreign ministers "discussed support for Ukraine, security commitments and how other countries can contribute to the support of the Ukrainian president's peace formula," the Lithuanian Foreign Ministry said in a press release. During the visit, Landsbergis also met with Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal and Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Olha Stefanishyna. The six foreign ministers of the Nordic and Baltic countries met separately with their Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba. https://www.lrt.lt/ua/novini/1263/2090622/na-zustrichi-es-iz-zelens-kim-litovs-kii-ministr-pidkresliv-nadiiu-na-rozshirennia-nato |

FILE: Russia Would Never Attack a NATO Country, That’s Ukrainian Propaganda!
EXHIBIT: 87+5 Important: Russian plan for the final destruction of Ukraine To accomplish this destruction, leading Russian scientists describe various strategies that are needed, including nuking Warsaw to make their NUKE NUKE NUKE threat more credible. EXCERPTS Author of the study is, among others, A. Karaganov, head of the council for foreign and security politics, and dean at Moscow economic university. The other members are well connected in influential government institutions. Karaganov had recommended in an earlier paper that preemptive nuclear strikes on Poland, for example, be carried out immediately to give the RU nuclear threats more "credibility". He assessed the likelihood of a NATO response as low. The paper calls for the destabilization of Europe, economically and politically, as an important foreign policy goal. An attack against which Europe has so far hardly defended itself. Source document |

The tank has working lights and is seemingly in real settings but could have been copy pasted and the outline blurred for the "garage" pic. It could also be that the tank factory has a model shop and it's just the way they do things for the website. |

The last couple of months Putin threw chairs and lopped off central bank heads to get the ruble to rise from 100:1 against the dollar to about 90-95:1. Already the paltry strengthening has run its course and we’re back tato 100:1 exchange rate.

Well then.
The purpose of the AFRA's ratification of Rome's statue is Ադրբեջшնն(Azerbaijan), it has nothing to do with the RD: International Legal Affairs Representative The Constitution of the International Criminal Court of Armenia was signed by Armenia in 1999, and the Russian Federation was among the signatories, abolishing the signature some time later. In an interview with Peter Lazarus, Eliser Kirkosyan, a representative of the International Legal Affairs Affairs, added: that Armenia began the process of ratifying the Rome Constitution during the September bullying of Azerbaijan last year, when many serious war crimes were reported. "This was one of the motivations To re-discuss the feasibility of ratifying the Rome Constitution, and actual discussions led to the government's decision to approve the blueprint at the end of December and then went to the Constitutional Court. "Naturally, we had a situation where the decision of the ECHR, in a timely sense, coincided with the decision of the RD president," Kirkosyan noted, emphasizing that in this context the issue was politicized more than it should have been. The question was why the Armenian side can't come to a consensus with the RD in this case, If there are mechanisms to both sign and alleviate the concerns of the RD, Eliser Kirkosyan replied that there are indeed such mechanisms, and the Rome Statute provides such an opportunity if the state has other international obligations. "A similar proposal has been made by us since April to the RD, and a blueprint for the appropriate agreement has been presented, which we believe should alleviate concerns and alleviate attitudes. In this logic, we would like to emphasize that the objective for which the Rome Constitution is ratified by Azerbaijan is Azerbaijan, it has nothing to do with Russia," said a representative of the International Legal Affairs Agenda. https://www.tert.am/am/news/2023/10/03/yeghishe-kirakosyan/4011105 Russia called Armenia's possible exit from the CSTO its “sovereign choice.” Recently, the Prime Minister of Armenia has often criticized the organization and threatened to leave it.

The SBU neutralized one of the largest intelligence networks of the Russian Federation during the war: 13 informants were detained in the Mykolayiv region The attackers gathered intelligence about the locations of bases and movements of the Defense Forces in the territory of the southern region. It was under their guidance that the Russian occupiers struck a high-rise building in Mykolaiv with a S-300 anti-aircraft missile system in the fall of 2022. At that time, 7 civilians, including a minor child, died as a result of enemy shelling. It was established that Russian informants passed the coordinates of Ukrainian objects to the FSB through a "liaison". He turned out to be pro-Kremlin blogger Serhii Lebedev. On the basis of the collected evidence, the investigators notified 9 detainees of suspicion under Art. 114-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The accused are currently in custody. The court found 4 more members of the enemy agency guilty of the crimes committed and sentenced them to 8 to 15 years in prison. Ukraine Online | Sign up https://t.me/c/1233777422/61183 |

Look up tilt shift photography. It can be done with a movable lens or via photoshop and often gives a miniaturized effect to the subject. |

Viktor Orban’s blackmail works. To unblock the 8th trench of aid for Ukraine and make progress in the 12th sanctions package against Russia, the European Commission intends to unfreeze a tranche of 13 billion euros allocated to Hungary by November. €22 billion in total, are still blocked on grounds such as democratic backsliding, a child protection law widely considered homophobic, Hungary’s treatment of asylum seekers, and the academic independence of Hungarian universities. Hungary is also waiting for €5.8 billion in grants and €6.6 billion in cheap EU loans under the recovery fund. To access these resources, it will have to meet 27 conditions. Orban enacted so-called judicial reforms in May in response to demands from Brussels, which would allow the commission to unlock €13bn, more than half of the frozen funding, the officials said on condition of anonymity. Recently, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán declared that the country would not support Ukraine in any international relations issue until the language rights of ethnic Hungarians living there are restored. |
