Gazprom is fucked. Back in 2023, fully leveraged for the war in ukraine, it broke a streak when it posted it's first net loss in 20 years, at 629billion rubles. Gazproms parent company has now posted a total loss of 1 trillion rubles for 2024.
This is what cooking the books to make them better looks like in russia.

Putin will draw this out as long as possible before rejecting it.

I'm glad I'm past the draft age, not that I'd be a candidate due to my severe hearing loss.
I get this distinct feeling a draft is coming where Trump will want us to support Russia against UK.

But you see Putin respects Trump................................................. 
What's amazing is how weak Trump is, that Putin is willing to humiliate Trump and demonstrate this by ignoring his entreaties for a ceasefire- and Trump says nothing because he is either so intimidated by Putin or is secretly on his payroll.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
