Oof that's 95% markup (or 20 times original price) on Chinese drones going to Ukraine.

Called it months ago.
Its also a ~1900% (1841%) markup, not 95.

This shouldn't be surprising considering how much grifting this whole thing has become for not only the MIC, the financier class in general.

They are not producing any shells, they are not spending their own money for shells, so what's the purpose? Their only role is to act as a middleman, getting their cut of the grift.

Footage of attacks by the Russian Molniya-2 UAV in the Zaporizhzhia region. The video shows the Molniya-2 drone striking temporary deployment points located in buildings and camouflaged infantry positions of the Ukrainian army. The exact location of the footage is not disclosed.

A Ukrainian FPV drone attack on a Russian unit of the Novorossiysk Guards Mountain Airborne Forces unit is repelled. The video was filmed in the Orekhiv area of the Zaporizhzhia region. In the video, a Russian assault group is seen moving toward the fortified line in a pickup truck. When the Ukrainian drone appears, the group opens fire on it with small arms.

Ukraine has agreed to the U.S. peace plan with only "some minor details to be sorted out", an American official told CBS News on Tuesday. Top Kyiv security official Rustem Umerov appeared to confirm the report, writing on X this morning that Ukraine had reached an understanding on the "core terms" of the U.S. peace plan during the discussions in Geneva. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to travel to the White House later this month to finalize the agreement.

I personally believe that these "peace talks" will collapse, but we'll see. I'm not quite convinced that the Russian side is ready for the war to end... I also believe that Russia will want some sort of mechanism that can formally justify resuming hostilities. I.E., clear tripwires and redlines.

If this war does end... the rather humorous thing, at least to me, is if Ukraine and Europe simply admitted that their maximalist demands are unreasonable and unreachable, then it is entirely possible to paint this war and this outcome as a massive strategic Russian defeat.

In the end, with this treaty, Ukraine floats out of Russian sovereignty closer to its desired end-state, which is full alignment with the West. This peace treaty essentially solidifies Ukraine's sovereignty and its exit out of Russia's influence. Which is a massive Ukrainian win in the long-term, even if the short and medium-term consequences have been disastrous for the country.
