Countries have pledged $1.5 billion on Tuesday to help the most vulnerable people in Ukraine, including refugees who fled to neighbouring countries.

This is among the fastest & most generous responses a humanitarian flash appeal has ever received.

We pretty much knew about that Chechen squad already...but what interests me is this Ukrainian claim that there are people in the FSB who are sending them information as they are against the war?

Guess not all of them are against the war.

Have to admit that I only read the last few pages.
Not sure if this was posted/mentioned or discussed before...

Yesterday Putin was probably in this mansion at the Black Sea.
Is he still there??

Anyway,it seems that the Russian 3 landing ships and they were spotted near Odessa (Black Sea) Some speculate that an landing invasion from there is coming

According to https://twitter.com/olex_scherba/status/1498587998627282945
that marines from Crimea refused to attack Odesa.

So there still must be landmines there in Odessa?

At least Odessa has a lot of catacombs,labyrinth of tunnels!

I would at all be surprised if Putin is frequently moving around. With this rumor that the FSB provided the Ukrainians the location of the Chechen hit squad, Putin has to be concerned about who is on his side.

Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov was sanctioned by the European Union on Monday. Two days later, Forbes has learned from three sources in the yacht industry that one of his prized possessions—the 512-foot yacht Dilbar, valued at nearly $600 million—has been seized by German authorities in the northern city of Hamburg.
He’s not the only Russian billionaire with a mega-yacht: Forbes and yacht valuation experts VesselsValue tracked down 32 of them. Despite being hit by EU sanctions on Monday, Usmanov is yet to comment on them or on the war in Ukraine.

Germans Seize Russian Billionaire Alisher Usmanov’s Mega-Yacht

Ooooo me likey this...**SNATCHED** Sell it to some Silicon Valley dude (maybe Bill wants a yacht to make into a hospital ship?) and donate the money to the victims of war crimes.

Why Does the U.S. Buy Russian Oil?

Why Does the U.S. Buy Russian Oil?


…..

Senator Ed Markey, a Democrat from Massachusetts, said U.S. purchases of Russian oil in 2021 would have delivered an estimated $17.4 billion to that nation. "We cannot criticize Europe for its reliance on Russian energy, as we pour dirty oil money into Russia," he said in a Tuesday statement.

[nhmemorymaker]

Yes, well, I am not going to go there.
I know there are big environmental concerns over the pipeline from various bodies.

We may just have to hitch up the horses and wagons and stop being such gas guzzling nations. Our reliance on oil is stupendously huge. But that is a whole other subject.

well stated. And eventually, may be a new Websleuths thread..."Fuel Around the World"
