One after the other video is being released showing Russian equipment either destroyed, trashed or abandoned. How long can they sustain this? This is utter madness.

I'm wholly surprised by both sides, the sheer incompetence of the Russians and the brave resistance of the Ukrainians.

If Russia is banned from SWIFT and its Central Bank loses liquidity over its $600 B reserves, then it won’t be able to maintain the Rouble as it goes into free fall and hyperinflation. This is the type of situation that can destroy Russia’s economy and topple the government.

Looks like 13% of Russia's reserves were in RMB last month.

If no Russians can get their money out via SWIFT and given that Russia is still running a trade surplus because most of its experts are commodities, then RMB settlement should still be enough to prevent the Ruble from a free fall.

Logistics and information is where it's at. Without them you get. . .this.

From all the footage I've seen from equipment losses since the start of the war, I'm heavily inclined to believe the numbers given by the Ukrainians:

Very conservative estimates, because the total tally of the Chuck Norris-trained Guardian of Kyiv is unknown, simply lost count...

Even if Russia wins this war, the sanctions will remain, and any country that do significant business with Russia or help it evade sanctions will also be sanctioned. This clearly complicates China’s own plans.
