    State of Russian Economy: Sharp Tax Hike. Money Running Out. Vladimir Milov & Michael Nacke

    State of Russian Economy: Sharp Tax Hike. Money Running Out. Vladimir Milov & Michael Nacke

    The money in the Russian budget is so good that taxes are being raised again. Moreover, the authorities are trying to talk people down by telling them that they will only affect the “rich” (and a rich person in Russia, as it turns out, is someone who earns more than 2,000 dollars). In fact, the main blow comes not from there, but from an increase in business income tax. And, of course, it will be transferred down to the consumer and included in retail pricing.
    Everything is also great with gasoline, so much so that Russia has stopped publishing data on its production. If attacks on refineries continue, the Russian system will experience more and more problems.
    This and much more in the latest economic report with Vladimir Milov.

    Negotiations Hit a Dead End. War in Ukraine, Analytics. Arestovich, Romanenko.

    Negotiations Hit a Dead End. War in Ukraine, Analytics. Arestovich, Romanenko.

    On air with Yuri Romanenko, we discussed possible scenarios for the war in Ukraine on the eve of  Peace Summit in Switzerland:

    ➤ 00:05 Romanenko: Peace Summit in Switzerland on June 15-16 in the context of other significant events in Ukraine.
    ➤ 01:51 Arestovich: if China and the United States do not participate in the summit, who will guarantee peace? Hypothesis: The US and China have a different plan.
    ➤ 03:09 Possible plan of the USA and China according to statements by politicians on each side.
    ➤ 06:27 There is good news, even when the positions of the Russian Federation, the USA and China are clear and no changes are planned.
    ➤ 08:15 Russians are demonstrating strategic ability to move borders. Russia's task is to attack. The West's task is to stop the offensive.
    ➤ 10:10 Preparations for a fierce confrontation between Ukraine and Russia: the struggle of potentials is underway, the scenario is repeating itself, the range of weapons and Ukraine’s ability to strike at Russian territory are expanding.
    ➤ 14:05 What can Ukraine expect from the NATO summit in Washington in June and from Trump’s statements? US guarantees for Ukraine: hints help understand the limits of the deal.
    ➤ 17:59 Western politicians cannot allow the aggressor’s conquests to be legalized by signing Putin’s demands to fix borders.
    ➤ 20:30 What conditions can be acceptable for the collective West within the peace process?
    ➤ 23:05 Chinese businesses leaving Russia due to Putin’s inability to negotiate and the possibility of a complete economic embargo on the Russian Federation. 
    ➤ 27:10 Hypothesis: summer and autumn will be spent with Russia attacking and Ukraine in defence. Negotiating positions may begin to take shape after the inauguration of next US President, in winter. None of the warring parties has significant advantage.
    ➤ 32:21 Opinion of US Secretary of State Blinken: Putin’s game of Zelensky’s illegitimacy has reached a dead end. Factors and variables.
    ➤ 35:30 China’s position is to support Russia, but not to enter into confrontation with the West. Ukraine is entering the Iran-Iraq scenario.
    ➤ 38:42 Should the first F-16 aircraft in Ukraine be used for air defense? Cautiously optimistic scenario: Europe will likely invest in increasing its military capabilities and help Ukraine.
    ➤ 41:25 Fundraiser of the Ukrainian military.
    ➤ 42:20 Will the debate between Arestovich and Portnikov take place? Why the image of victim  is harmful for Ukraine?

    War in Ukraine, Analytics. Day 825 (part1): How Do We Continue Fighting Under Crumbling Command?

    In today's war diary, Nikolai Feldman and Alexey Arestovich discussed the main news on the 825th day of war (part1):

    ➤ 00:00 The authorities are looking for those responsible for the Russian breakthrough in Kharkov district. A righteous trial: will the military justice system in Ukraine be able to really restore the course of action and punish the guilty?
    ➤ 15:05 What should military justice system include?
    ➤ 18:15 “The Economist”: President Zelensky may not be getting the whole truth about the situation at the front. Does the president have alternative sources of information? Is there incompetence or treason involved?
    ➤ 24:40 Umerov’s statement: "Russians have 300,000 troops for northern offensive". Do they? and does the Ukrainian army have the strength to repel such an attack?
    ➤ 27:15 Risks for military personnel when using the “Reserve +” application: according to Russian information, data is already being sold.
    ➤ 30:52 Nudes, “Oberig” and “Reserve +”: as the state system does one thing, it does everything.
    ➤ 34:56 How much resources is needed to service 300,000 Russian troops on the northern border of Ukraine.
    ➤ 37:40 Lessons Learned from the Kharkov failure: what can be done to prevent the enemy from opening a new front?
    ➤ 44:45 Ukrainian army is paralyzed by excessive bureaucracy.
    ➤ 48:04 Quality of fortifications in the Kharkov region. How should the state buid them?
    ➤ 52:17 Transcarpathia - attack on a border guard: is the story similar to the scheme for crossing the border with Romania?
    ➤ 54:59 Govt Comm on mobilization in Ukraine: what to do with alarmists and how to qualify them?
    ➤ 59:10 Discorded Mobilization efforts continue to lead to catastrophy on the labor market.
    ➤ 01:02:55 Updating the data in the military service app. 6 years to process the information. The enthusiasm and patriotism of business is exhausted...
    ➤ 01:05:39 Ongoing mobilization: the consequences of queues at the recruitment offices.
    ➤ 01:09:42 Will the statehood of the Second Ukrainian Republic be saved?
