“Network degradation will begin.” Russia was deprived of the last supply channel for Swedish equipment for 5G
The Swedish government did not allow Ericsson to supply equipment to Russian companies under contracts that were concluded before Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This follows from the court decision on the claim of the cellular operator Tele2 against Satel TVK LLC, which supplied Ericsson telecom equipment to Russia, Vedomosti writes. The case materials indicate that “due to the introduced legal ban, the Swedish company Ericsson AB, the manufacturer, was deprived of the opportunity to export its equipment to the Russian Federation.” At the same time, Ericsson was prohibited from supplying equipment not only to Satel TVK LLC, but also to any other buyer for delivery to Russia. By 2023, Tele2 planned to install 50 thousand Ericsson Radio System 5G-ready base stations in 27 regions of Russia, including the Moscow and Leningrad regions. This was to help prepare for the launch of the 5G standard. It will not be possible to import base stations through parallel import, Kuskov notes. According to him, stations are produced for a specific region, which is reflected in the features of the routers, licenses and activation keys. It is almost impossible to resolve technical issues without manufacturer support. If operators do not start receiving domestic base stations in 2025, networks will begin to degrade in Russia, Kuskov warns. https://t.me/moscowtimes_ru/15940 Putin was offered to bring migrants from Myanmar and Cambodia to Russia Commissioner for the Protection of Entrepreneurs' Rights Boris Titov proposed to President Vladimir Putin to simplify the labor migration mechanism for citizens of countries that require a pre-issued visa to enter Russia. This, according to Titov, quoted by RBC, will help overcome the shortage of personnel in the economy. Titov’s letter to the president notes that the personnel shortage in Russia has reached “historic highs.” It is no longer possible to satisfy the need for labor resources at the expense of citizens of the CIS countries, he believes. The Ombudsman advises focusing on countries in Southeast Asia, such as Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Brunei, East Timor, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Problems with personnel worsened after the mobilization, as a result of which 320 thousand people went to the front, and up to a million more left the country. The staffing shortage has reached record levels since 1996: more than 42% of enterprises reported a labor shortage in July. https://t.me/moscowtimes_ru/15943 Putin noted the failure of attempts to stop the rise in gasoline prices Gasoline at Russian gas stations continues to rise rapidly in price, despite measures taken to eliminate fuel shortages, President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday. Although the price of gasoline in wholesale and on the stock exchange fell by almost 20% after the government introduced a complete ban on its export, this had little effect on the situation in retail. “Yesterday at retail a liter of AI-92 gasoline was 51.6 rubles, before September 21 it was 49.7 (rubles). The price is rising at retail. The measure has been adopted, but prices are rising,” Putin said, addressing the ministers. In some regions of the Russian Federation, he continued, people are forced to travel to neighboring regions to buy diesel fuel, because their prices do not decrease, and in some places they even continue to rise. Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, who is in charge of the energy sector, and former head of the Ministry of Energy, informed the president about new measures that the Cabinet of Ministers is preparing to put out the fire in the fuel market. The authorities intend to control fuel markups at gas stations, and will also prescribe volumes of diesel supplies to oil companies for autumn field work. The ban on the export of petroleum products will continue to apply for now, but may be softened in the future: only producers will be able to export gasoline and diesel abroad, and traders who buy volumes on the domestic market will lose this right. Finally, the government proposes to again increase subsidies to oil companies from the budget as part of the damping mechanism, which were reduced on September 1. “This will allow us to compensate for the difference between the export alternative and exchange prices in the domestic market,” Novak said. Putin approved this decision. Oil companies are “the gooses that lay the golden eggs,” he said, adding that they must be treated “with care.” According to Rosstat, as of September 25, retail gasoline AI-95 on average in Russia cost 65 rubles per liter - 7 rubles more than at the beginning of summer. https://t.me/moscowtimes_ru/15953 Now with 100% more Solovyev rant
The State Duma announced the threat of bankruptcy of farmers after the departure of foreign grain traders The monopolization of the grain market after the departure of foreign players who left Russia after the start of the war in Ukraine has brought thousands of farms to the brink of bankruptcy. Grain traders buy grain below cost, and this destroys the economy of farms, said Sergei Lisovsky, a member of the State Duma Committee on Agrarian Issues. According to him, the reason for what is happening is low competition. “A few years ago there were 400 traders in the country, now there are only three,” the deputy complained. “Wheat export quotas are divided between these three traders, and this situation allows them to twist the arms of the producer.” According to Lisovsky, bankruptcy primarily threatens small farms that have a small margin of safety. “Formally, there is competition among traders in the grain market, but in reality there is none,” the deputy complained. In March 2023, the American Cargill informed the Ministry of Agriculture that grain exports from the Russian Federation would be suspended from July 1. She explained her decision by the growing difficulties in working with Russia: although grain crops were not subject to US and EU sanctions, payment for transactions is complicated by restrictions on banks and state-owned companies. https://t.me/moscowtimes_ru/15957 |

Russian news, special “muh freedom” edition-
Russians will be jailed for 9 years for illegally picking mushrooms In Russia, from October 12, a new article of the Criminal Code 260.1 will come into force, which provides for prison sentences for the illegal collection of plants and mushrooms listed in the Red Book. President Vladimir Putin approved the corresponding amendments in April of this year. According to the document, for the intentional destruction, damage, collection, storage, acquisition, forwarding, transportation or sale of rare plants and mushrooms, they will be imprisoned for four years with a fine of up to 1 million rubles. Similar actions involving the use of official position when publicly displayed on the Internet or in the media are punishable by six years in prison and a fine of up to 2 million rubles. A maximum sentence of 9 years with a fine of up to 3 million rubles can be obtained for illegal trafficking of Red Book plants and mushrooms using the media and the Internet, if the actions were carried out as part of an organized group or by prior conspiracy. The punishment is comparable to the most severe articles of the Criminal Code. For example, for murder, Russian citizens can receive from 6 to 15 years in prison. https://t.me/moscowtimes_ru/15947 They want to ban Russians from freely collecting pine nuts Russian authorities are preparing to introduce strict regulation of the practice of collecting pine nuts by citizens. Corresponding amendments to the Forest Code of the Russian Federation were proposed by a group of senators and deputies, including Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Yuri Vorobyov and head of the House of Regions Committee on Agricultural and Food Policy and Environmental Management Alexander Dvoinykh. According to the bill, which was published in the State Duma database, regional authorities will have the right to establish places, terms and a “reasonable standard” for the procurement of pine nuts by individuals. The authors of the bill suggest that such a measure will minimize the illegal sale of nuts collected “for one’s own needs.” At the moment, it is a common practice in Russia for unscrupulous entrepreneurs to send organized brigades of harvesters into the forests under the guise of collecting “for their own needs,” or to buy collected nuts on an industrial scale from residents of remote taiga villages, according to the explanatory note to the project. “Such activities for the procurement of pine nuts are carried out without concluding lease agreements, without paying any tax payments. When harvesting pine nuts, barbaric methods are often used: unripe cones are harvested, tree tops are broken, metal claws are used to climb trees, and other predatory methods and devices that cause damage and stop the growth of cedar trees,” write the authors of the initiative. From August 1, 2023, the Russian government included Korean pine pine nuts in the list of strategically important goods and resources. The list includes both inshell and shelled nuts. Now, according to Article 226.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, their smuggling is punishable by imprisonment for up to 12 years. https://t.me/moscowtimes_ru/15950 Russians will begin to be put in prison for positive statements about Navalny State Duma deputies will consider a bill on criminal liability for justification and propaganda of extremism at a plenary session this Thursday, September 28, RIA Novosti reports, citing a source in the Duma. According to the publication, the State Construction Committee recommended that deputies adopt the document in the first reading. The bill was submitted to the State Duma back in July of this year. It was initiated by United Russia deputies Pyotr Tolstoy, Anna Kuznetsova, Vasily Piskarev, Andrey Kartapolov and Ernest Valeev. Parliamentarians proposed putting Russians in prison for up to five years for publicly justifying extremism or its propaganda—corresponding amendments are planned to be made to Article 280 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Now the article provides for punishment only for calls to carry out extremist activities - up to five years in prison. https://t.me/moscowtimes_ru/15961 |

There is a diaspora that gave heavily and supported it heavily but for me, as long as Azeri recognizes and protects Armenians and their rights, I don't think it would be complex to just let it go. It's tough but nobody is helping Armenia and they created the situation. There were several times that Azeri said they have written it into their constitution to protect all rights and Armenia and the Artsakh parliament rejected it. It's been part of Azeri for a long time despite it originally being Armenian and it was forcefully and sadly ethnically cleansed by the Turks. It's sad...but it is reality. |

This follows from the court decision on the claim of the cellular operator Tele2 against Satel TVK LLC, which supplied Ericsson telecom equipment to Russia, Vedomosti writes. The case materials indicate that “due to the introduced legal ban, the Swedish company Ericsson AB, the manufacturer, was deprived of the opportunity to export its equipment to the Russian Federation.” At the same time, Ericsson was prohibited from supplying equipment not only to Satel TVK LLC, but also to any other buyer for delivery to Russia. By 2023, Tele2 planned to install 50 thousand Ericsson Radio System 5G-ready base stations in 27 regions of Russia, including the Moscow and Leningrad regions. This was to help prepare for the launch of the 5G standard. It will not be possible to import base stations through parallel import, Kuskov notes. According to him, stations are produced for a specific region, which is reflected in the features of the routers, licenses and activation keys. It is almost impossible to resolve technical issues without manufacturer support. If operators do not start receiving domestic base stations in 2025, networks will begin to degrade in Russia, Kuskov warns. https://t.me/moscowtimes_ru/15940 Putin was offered to bring migrants from Myanmar and Cambodia to Russia Commissioner for the Protection of Entrepreneurs' Rights Boris Titov proposed to President Vladimir Putin to simplify the labor migration mechanism for citizens of countries that require a pre-issued visa to enter Russia. This, according to Titov, quoted by RBC, will help overcome the shortage of personnel in the economy. Titov’s letter to the president notes that the personnel shortage in Russia has reached “historic highs.” It is no longer possible to satisfy the need for labor resources at the expense of citizens of the CIS countries, he believes. The Ombudsman advises focusing on countries in Southeast Asia, such as Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Brunei, East Timor, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Problems with personnel worsened after the mobilization, as a result of which 320 thousand people went to the front, and up to a million more left the country. The staffing shortage has reached record levels since 1996: more than 42% of enterprises reported a labor shortage in July. https://t.me/moscowtimes_ru/15943 Putin noted the failure of attempts to stop the rise in gasoline prices Gasoline at Russian gas stations continues to rise rapidly in price, despite measures taken to eliminate fuel shortages, President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday. Although the price of gasoline in wholesale and on the stock exchange fell by almost 20% after the government introduced a complete ban on its export, this had little effect on the situation in retail. “Yesterday at retail a liter of AI-92 gasoline was 51.6 rubles, before September 21 it was 49.7 (rubles). The price is rising at retail. The measure has been adopted, but prices are rising,” Putin said, addressing the ministers. In some regions of the Russian Federation, he continued, people are forced to travel to neighboring regions to buy diesel fuel, because their prices do not decrease, and in some places they even continue to rise. Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, who is in charge of the energy sector, and former head of the Ministry of Energy, informed the president about new measures that the Cabinet of Ministers is preparing to put out the fire in the fuel market. The authorities intend to control fuel markups at gas stations, and will also prescribe volumes of diesel supplies to oil companies for autumn field work. The ban on the export of petroleum products will continue to apply for now, but may be softened in the future: only producers will be able to export gasoline and diesel abroad, and traders who buy volumes on the domestic market will lose this right. Finally, the government proposes to again increase subsidies to oil companies from the budget as part of the damping mechanism, which were reduced on September 1. “This will allow us to compensate for the difference between the export alternative and exchange prices in the domestic market,” Novak said. Putin approved this decision. Oil companies are “the gooses that lay the golden eggs,” he said, adding that they must be treated “with care.” According to Rosstat, as of September 25, retail gasoline AI-95 on average in Russia cost 65 rubles per liter - 7 rubles more than at the beginning of summer. https://t.me/moscowtimes_ru/15953 Now with 100% more Solovyev rant
The State Duma announced the threat of bankruptcy of farmers after the departure of foreign grain traders The monopolization of the grain market after the departure of foreign players who left Russia after the start of the war in Ukraine has brought thousands of farms to the brink of bankruptcy. Grain traders buy grain below cost, and this destroys the economy of farms, said Sergei Lisovsky, a member of the State Duma Committee on Agrarian Issues. According to him, the reason for what is happening is low competition. “A few years ago there were 400 traders in the country, now there are only three,” the deputy complained. “Wheat export quotas are divided between these three traders, and this situation allows them to twist the arms of the producer.” According to Lisovsky, bankruptcy primarily threatens small farms that have a small margin of safety. “Formally, there is competition among traders in the grain market, but in reality there is none,” the deputy complained. In March 2023, the American Cargill informed the Ministry of Agriculture that grain exports from the Russian Federation would be suspended from July 1. She explained her decision by the growing difficulties in working with Russia: although grain crops were not subject to US and EU sanctions, payment for transactions is complicated by restrictions on banks and state-owned companies. https://t.me/moscowtimes_ru/15957 I didn’t realize the Russian farms were so severely hit with virtually no buyers. Then add climbing fuel prices. Good luck planting winter wheat and harvesting in the spring/summer. Or affording fertilizer. Russia has basically a closed economy now. In many ways it gives the government more flexibility to manipulate the economy to do things like save the farmers. They already had these tools but it makes them more powerful now. One thing they don't have the ability to do is to get back the money they have lost that they were making by selling gasoline to europe. As I understand it this caused a bunch of refineries to close because they were no longer making a profit which resulted in fuel shortage. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RockNwood: WTH with harsh prison terms for pine nuts and mushrooms??!! Crazy town. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RockNwood: Originally Posted By Prime: Russian news, special “muh freedom” edition- Russians will be jailed for 9 years for illegally picking mushrooms In Russia, from October 12, a new article of the Criminal Code 260.1 will come into force, which provides for prison sentences for the illegal collection of plants and mushrooms listed in the Red Book. President Vladimir Putin approved the corresponding amendments in April of this year. According to the document, for the intentional destruction, damage, collection, storage, acquisition, forwarding, transportation or sale of rare plants and mushrooms, they will be imprisoned for four years with a fine of up to 1 million rubles. Similar actions involving the use of official position when publicly displayed on the Internet or in the media are punishable by six years in prison and a fine of up to 2 million rubles. A maximum sentence of 9 years with a fine of up to 3 million rubles can be obtained for illegal trafficking of Red Book plants and mushrooms using the media and the Internet, if the actions were carried out as part of an organized group or by prior conspiracy. The punishment is comparable to the most severe articles of the Criminal Code. For example, for murder, Russian citizens can receive from 6 to 15 years in prison. https://t.me/moscowtimes_ru/15947 They want to ban Russians from freely collecting pine nuts Russian authorities are preparing to introduce strict regulation of the practice of collecting pine nuts by citizens. Corresponding amendments to the Forest Code of the Russian Federation were proposed by a group of senators and deputies, including Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Yuri Vorobyov and head of the House of Regions Committee on Agricultural and Food Policy and Environmental Management Alexander Dvoinykh. According to the bill, which was published in the State Duma database, regional authorities will have the right to establish places, terms and a “reasonable standard” for the procurement of pine nuts by individuals. The authors of the bill suggest that such a measure will minimize the illegal sale of nuts collected “for one’s own needs.” At the moment, it is a common practice in Russia for unscrupulous entrepreneurs to send organized brigades of harvesters into the forests under the guise of collecting “for their own needs,” or to buy collected nuts on an industrial scale from residents of remote taiga villages, according to the explanatory note to the project. “Such activities for the procurement of pine nuts are carried out without concluding lease agreements, without paying any tax payments. When harvesting pine nuts, barbaric methods are often used: unripe cones are harvested, tree tops are broken, metal claws are used to climb trees, and other predatory methods and devices that cause damage and stop the growth of cedar trees,” write the authors of the initiative. From August 1, 2023, the Russian government included Korean pine pine nuts in the list of strategically important goods and resources. The list includes both inshell and shelled nuts.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RockNwood: How does Chancellor Scholz fantasize that Russia could engage in direct conflict with Germany? 1,500 km from the front protected by Ukraine and Poland? Or do you still have your fat fingers in the Russian economy and worried about your Euros? Deflection, much? Chancellor Olaf Scholz has put the move on hold because of concerns that German personnel would have to travel to Ukraine to help maintain and operate the sophisticated weapon. According to officials, Scholz believes that a parliamentary vote is needed to move troops to the war zone. He is also concerned that such a move could draw Germany even deeper into the conflict, which could lead to a direct confrontation with Russia. I ain’t buying the “technicians in Ukraine.” This stall reeks of “muh piggy bank at risk!” Yeah, I'm torn... either the German Taurus dont work because dilapidated and un-maintained and will need 87K German technicians to fire OR Russian gas/oil money is still influencing German politicians. (probably both) But fearing "direct confrontation" is total bullshit. |

1) In the past day or two, AFU forces entered the far western section of Verbove with possibly an 82nd Air Assault Brigade DRG (reconnaissance group) that appeared to withdraw shortly after. However, this morning, the local AFU command in the AO (Tavria Group) stated they have gained a foothold in the village and are working to better "secure their left flank." This supports information from other Ukrainian sources indicating that Russian forces are on the defensive there. Note: Russia Propagandist Colonel Cassad recently posted (0930Z today) the following: "Despite all efforts, the enemy was unable to capture Verbove." This is consistent with "have a foothold" but also means the fighting there was intense. 2) There was also evidence within the past couple days that at least one AFU BMP had breached the Russian defensive lines WSW of Verbove. This then prompted widespread speculation that AFU armor had begun moving and south of there. Combined with the Tavria report this morning of AFU forces now holding positions in Verbove, it does appear a consequential breach has occurred in that sector prompting the rapid movement of AFU forces, armor and other materiel eastward to exploit their advantage there.  |

And this has been my fear. Unless Ukraine moves quickly, Russia will keep building fortification further back and Ukrainian is going to be on the offensive in tough conditions indefinitely. They have to make a breakthrough and continue quickly before Russia just builds another line. That's why I want to see them get as much armor as possible. They need to be able to take losses, keep pressing onwards, and bust through the Russian line. They also need better combined arms training, as the several week garbage provided by the Army National Guard for the new brigades has proven to be inadequate. |
