Kyiv Independent reports that Ukraine has attacked a factory in Taganrog with missiles. The factory belongs to the Russian defense company Atlant-Aero, which manufactures drones for the Russian army. Read more here.

Ukraine has also attacked the port city of Jesk in Krasnodar Krai, but it is uncertain what the outcome was. Social media posts show smoke rising from the city while authorities claim that it is only a matter of debris falling and that the remains of a drone shattered the windows of some houses.

    Have you noticed that the person placing large buy/sell orders before Trump’s statements has gone from 5, 10, 50, 70 million USD in size?

    It’s one of many, but one seems to have perfect timing constantly.

    The Trump clan are all becoming dollar billionaires

    Good morning. Another day with a lot of artillery.
    I was thinking yesterday about the king’s visit to Ukraine. The visit may have a greater impact on the war than people think. I remember when the king, on his own initiative, visited the worst affected areas after Hurricane Gudrun. All the forest owners were completely agreed that his visit was crucial in keeping up morale and that things went as well as they actually did. Ukraine needs all the help it can get in terms of military equipment and humanitarian aid, that we know. So if the Swedish king, on his own initiative, visits Zelensky to praise the Ukrainian people’s courage and morale, it means an enormous amount to Zelensky, the soldiers, and the people. That is certain.

      Yes, Ukraine rolled out the very large red carpet for them, so they had a very important visit.

      Sweden has done many things right since 2022, Norway should submit to us again.

    Wonder what Sylvi Listhaug has to say about your proposal🇧🇻🤔Well, she has probably calmed down somewhat in recent years. During the pandemic, Swedes who worked in Norway were not allowed to return to their jobs, the wild boars in Sweden were too many and were not allowed to run into Norway. Not to mention the wolves. Esrange should be shut down because parts from the launch could end up in Norway. And so on. Last year I expected her to ban the Swedish female skiers from competing in Norway because they won everything. She didn’t mention the men…
    Norway has at least done two really good things: the Oil Fund and, with intelligent fishing, managed to preserve the cod stock at Lofoten.

      Trump’s bombastic statements are borrowed from others. For example, “bomb them back to the Stone Age.” It was not Trump who originally said this, but the chief of staff appointed by Kennedy, Curtis LeMay, who mentioned this when he requested to carry out bombings in North Vietnam. LeMay is also known for another statement: “there are no innocent civilians.”

      Ukraine has spread out.

      What does this mean? That there is no spring offensive underway?

      Please summarize the links so one doesn’t have to click like crazy while scrolling, 😊

        When it comes to Johan, you should be glad that he at least posted a link! 😉😄

        I perceive it as criticism of not placing the combat command close to the fighting units (shouldn’t have anything to do with the actual pre-combat) and that the fighting units in turn are spread over too large front sections.

        Shouldn’t have anything to do with any pre-combat.

        With today’s communication capabilities and the number of drones, it is probably not as important to be on site. Then I find it hard to believe that the information about exactly where they are corresponds to reality. The units are one thing, but that the positions of the combat commands are public is something I find extremely hard to believe.

      She is completely crazy but just like with Trump, she still manages to gather a huge crowd, so maybe that says more about large parts of the US population.

      Feels a bit like they have taken inspiration from Islamists and other religious extremists…
      Those who are against Trump and thereby God are demons that must be fought! 

      We will see if it doesn’t end with calls to take up arms when they start suspecting that the midterm election and later the actual election are going in the wrong direction.

    Hormuz Strait

    “Tensions around the Hormuz Strait and new fighting in Lebanon dampen hopes for a quick US-Iran deal ahead of next week. The risk of disrupted oil supplies points to higher energy prices and more volatile stock markets, writes Bloomberg.

    “A deal may be close, but is likely to be limited and fragile,” the news agency’s analysts write.

    After Friday’s drop in oil prices, increased volatility is expected. Energy prices may rise again, while stock markets risk being pressured if the conflict worsens.

    – The oil price is likely to remain elevated for two years, maybe three, compared to the outlook before the war, says Citi’s energy strategist Eric Lee to DI.”

    Lebanon

    “Sweden is providing an additional 70 million SEK in a humanitarian aid package to war-affected Lebanon, reports Sveriges Radio Ekot. The need for increased aid is great as over one million people have been displaced since the war between Hezbollah and Israel escalated last month, says Minister for Aid Benjamin Dousa (M).

    – In addition to many dead, injured, and forcibly displaced, we have also seen attacks targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure, as well as medical personnel and humanitarian aid workers. This is unacceptable, he says in a statement.

    As recently as March, Sweden decided on a targeted aid package of 65 million SEK to Lebanon.”

    The Election in Bulgaria

    Unfortunately, the risk seems high that Bulgaria will elect a Putin sympathizer.

    “Today, just over five million Bulgarians are called to vote. For the eighth time in five years, a new parliamentary election is being held.

    The former president Rumen Radev and his left-leaning Progressive Bulgaria are the big favorites after campaigning on fighting corruption and strengthening democracy in the country.

    However, liberal EU supporters dread Radev being elected, based on his stance towards Russia.

    – Considering how he relates to Putin and Russia, there is a risk that a pro-Russian government will emerge at a critical stage. He could become Putin’s Trojan horse in Europe, says the French MEP Valérie Hayer, who belongs to the liberal Renaissance party, to the Financial Times.”

    There was a lot of talk a couple of years ago about so-called remote mining using artillery; Ukraine received some such equipment which they used. But it was probably too little to make a difference, and then you didn’t hear much more about it.

    Now they are also doing it themselves using drones instead.

      I thought I’d surprise myself today by going to Ullared😱
      Sunday opening hours 07:30-19:00. Saw that the Strait of Hormuz is open Sundays 12-16.

    Unchanged total, but rising unlocalized and thus falling Russian attacks. Record ratio unloc/loc. For every three Russian attacks, two Ukrainian. Down in Donetsk, up a bit just northwards.

    Long averages on Russian attacks (30 days) remain at the lowest within the period from May 1 last year to today. The seven-day also looks to bottom out shortly.

    Off-Topic, is there anyone else besides me who is curious about what that crispbread sculpture looks like?

    “Prime Minister couple Ulf Kristersson and Birgitta Ed have made costly changes to the Sagerska Palace with taxpayer money, according to Expressen’s investigation. Among other things, the final bill for a kitchen rug came to 27,400 kronor – even though the rug actually only cost 7,400.

    The Government Offices rent the residence from the agency National Property Board of Sweden (SFV), which is responsible for the interior design. Costs increase significantly when SFV hires external interior designers to handle the purchases. In March 2023, an architectural firm charged a total of 19 working hours for the choice of the kitchen rug.

    The review of receipts, emails, and invoices shows several similar examples. Art and special orders also stand out – such as a rag rug for over 60,000 kronor and a crispbread sculpture that soared to 15,100 at auction.

    The Prime Minister couple declines to comment on Expressen’s article.”

      It actually looked like a crispbread, I thought it would be something interesting made of crispbread. It seems that the prices normally range between 1,000 – 2,000 SEK for Hertha’s crispbread:

       

      Found a film from the art council, where this tasteful artwork was also included:

      This one was a bit clever but I hope it wasn’t too expensive.

      The Sagerska Palace is not open to the public, so the investments in art that we taxpayers pay for are therefore not something we get the chance to experience (other than in pictures). 

      The Moderates are otherwise keen on lowering taxes and cutting state expenses when it comes to things that are not considered necessary (art and culture, study circles for ordinary people, etc.). 

      Here, one might have been more restrained, I think. The examples above are just a small part of the art that has been purchased which will only be viewed by the few who have access to the palace.

      So… what do they need a whole spokesperson for?? they still can’t physically live in more than about 20sqm.

      Don’t get me wrong now, two people… don’t take up much space… the rest of us have to squeeze into small apartments, that’s okay… but what the hell do they need a whole damn palace for???

      State visits? By all means, but then rent at a conference facility like everyone else.

      Wouldn’t a reasonably large (100sqm) apartment be enough? The state visitors still sleep at hotels… and Kristersson and his partner themselves don’t take up that much physical space, as I said. 

      So, about a 100sqm apartment should be enough.

      THAT is market adaptation!

    So now we are literally being outrun by Chinese robots as well. The EU must invest more money in research and development if we are not to be completely overtaken.

    “On Sunday, hundreds of China-made robots competed in a half marathon through Beijing, writes The Guardian. The result should frighten anyone who believes that humanoid robots will never be able to replace the real thing.

    The winning robot crossed the finish line of the 21.1-kilometer race in 50 minutes and 26 seconds, which is seven minutes faster than the current world record for humans set by Ugandan Jacob Kiplimo in Lisbon earlier this spring.

    The winning robot did fall near the finish and needed help getting back on its feet, which would likely have led to disqualification in the sports world. On the other hand, a total of four robots ran the race in under an hour.”

      And what countermeasures do we have when they start carrying weapons?

      This is something we need to think about already now, no matter how “unlikely” it may be.

        Good question, I don’t have a good answer other than that we ourselves would need access to the equivalent if we are not to be run over…

    Off-Topic, working from home an attempt to mitigate the effect of rising fuel prices

    “The European Commission will next week present a package of measures that among other things advocates working from home in an attempt to mitigate the effects of rising fuel prices, reports the Financial Times.

    According to documents obtained by the newspaper, the Commission may encourage European companies to introduce a mandatory work-from-home day where possible.

    – When we have an energy shortage, it is our responsibility to ensure that citizens know what they can do to reduce consumption.

    The package will also include proposals for subsidies for local transport, air heat pumps, and solar panels.

    Fuel prices have recently risen sharply due to the blockades of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran and the USA, through which a large part of the world’s oil traffic passes.”

    Zelenskyy is not satisfied that the US extended the pause on sanctions against Russia.

    “President Zelenskyy has taken aim at Trump this morning, and rightly so. The US President is directly contributing to the murder of civilians in Ukraine.”
    https://bsky.app/profile/twmcltd.bsky.social/post/3mjtqxluvjk2w

    Translated:

    ”The continued easing of sanctions against Russia does not reflect the real situation in the war or in diplomacy and feeds the Russian leadership’s illusion that they can continue the war. Just this week, the Russians have launched over 2,360 attack drones, more than 1,320 guided bombs, and nearly 60 missiles of various types against our cities and communities.

    Every dollar paid for Russian oil is money for the war. More than 110 tankers from Moscow’s shadow fleet are currently at sea. On board are over 12 million tons of Russian oil, which, as a result of eased sanctions, can once again be sold without consequences. That is 10 billion dollars – a resource that is directly converted into new attacks against Ukraine.

    Therefore, it is important that Russian tankers are stopped and not allowed to deliver oil to ports. The aggressor’s oil exports must decrease, and Ukraine’s long-range sanctions continue to work towards that goal. I am grateful to each of our fighters for their precision, and I thank all partners who help increase pressure on Russia for this war.”
