Lovely to read this sentiment amongst the Orc milbloggers.

Orcs falsely claim victory in battle for Ukraine village that hasn't existed for 37 years.
The Russian Ministry of Defense fabricated the capture of two Ukrainian villages in Luhansk and Kharkiv oblasts.
The Orcs have once again lied about the seizure of several settlements, including one that has not existed for 37 years, Nazar Voloshyn, a spokesman for the Khortytsia Operational-Strategic Group, said in a comment to [URL]LIGA.net[/URL].
On June 11, the Russian Ministry of Defense released a statement claiming that occupiers had taken control of the villages of Artemivka in the Luhansk Oblast and Tymkivka in the Kharkiv Oblast. Voloshyn said that the village of Tymkivka had been abolished in 1987. In addition, Artemivka was renamed Myasozharivka in 2016 as part of the decommunization process.
"Currently, Myasozharivka is under the control of the Ukrainian Defense Forces!" the spokesperson stated.

Argentina became a new member of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group (UDCG) in the Ramstein format.
US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announced this during a speech.
He stated that he was pleased to see Argentina as a new member of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group.
"I am pleased to welcome Argentina as a new member of the Contact Group. Mr. Petri, I am glad to have you with us. The stakes in this war are high. None of us wants to live in a world dominated by Putin. That is why we have a lot of work ahead of us, and I am confident that this coalition will continue to meet the challenges," the US Secretary of Defense said.
Nice to see this, further cements Milei's position of not aligning with BRICS.

Actually, strike that. The Ukrainians don't recruit rapists and murderers. Or female convicts for that matter.
So not the same thing.

With regards to Russia using convicts, that is well documented. Do I agree with it? No, I don't. But now the Ukrainians are doing the exact same thing. That's all I'm pointing out.

Russia to grow faster than all advanced economies says IMF
An influential global body has forecast Russia's economy will grow faster than all of the world's advanced economies, including the US, this year.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) expects Russia to grow 3. 2% this year, significantly more than the UK, France and Germany.
Oil exports have "held steady" and government spending has "remained high" contributing to growth, the IMF said.
P.S. UKRAINE IS WINNING.

Russia to grow faster than all advanced economies says IMF[/QUOTE]IMF has been using figures sent in by the Russians without scrutinising them. If you really want to know how the Russian economy is doing, you need to look at other factors, like satellite imagery of industrial production, energy consumption, etc that can be validated without Kremlin stats.
None of those metrics show growth of any kind, rather the opposite, which makes sense considering everything you see in terms of the flight from Russia of the youth and intelligentsia, as well the the effect of the sanctions.
Just look at the figures from GazProm, they are not good reading.
If you seriously believe that Russia is a growth economy at the moment, then buy the dip at the stock exchange.

Would it be fair to say the sanctions imposed on Russia by the collective west didn't have the desired outcome?
[QUOTE=BloodRed;2922744]Just to be clear, IMF means USA. I don't think they would be using info put out by the Russians.[/QUOTE]I think you need to check on this.
As for desired outcomes, the sanctions bleed the Russians and are having the desired effect of weakening their economy and isolating them internationally. So they are working as intended.

Four conditions for negotiations with Kiev: what Putin said at Foreign Ministry: Russia considers Ukraine's neutral, non-aligned, non-nuclear status and the lifting of all Western sanctions as a necessary condition - [URL]https://tass.com/politics/1803575[/URL] and [URL]https://tass.com/politics/1803657[/URL].
MOSCOW, June 14. / TASS /. Russia today makes another true peace proposal to Kiev, which envisages the recognition of the Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics, as well as the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions as Russian territories, the consolidation of Ukraine's non-aligned and nuclear-free status, its demilitarization and denazification, and the lifting of anti-Russian sanctions, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting with senior diplomats.
Today we are making another concrete, real peace proposal to Kiev, he said.
Putin went on to list Russia's terms for a settlement. As soon as Kiev agrees to these conditions, agrees to completely withdraw its troops from the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions and actually launches this process, we are ready to start negotiations without delay. I repeat, our principled position is as follows: the neutral, non-aligned, non-nuclear status of Ukraine, its demilitarization and denazification. What's more, these parameters were generally agreed upon by everyone back during the Istanbul talks in 2022. Everything was clear regarding demilitarization, everything was spelled out, including the number of tanks, and everything was agreed upon. Of course, the rights and freedoms of Russian-speaking citizens in Ukraine must be fully ensured, the new territorial realities and the status of Crimea, Sevastopol, the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions as Russian constituencies must be recognized. In the future, all these basic, principled provisions should be recorded in terms of fundamental international agreements, he said.
All Western sanctions imposed on Russia should also be abolished. Of course, this also means the lifting of all Western sanctions against Russia, the president said.
Putin emphasized that Russia's plan would mean ending the conflict once and for all, not freezing it. The essence of our proposal is not some kind of temporary truce or suspension of fire, as the West wants, in order to restore losses, rearm the Kiev regime, and prepare it for a new offensive. I repeat, we are not talking about freezing the conflict, but about bringing it to an end, the president said.
The Russian leader added that if Kiev and Western countries once again refuse Russia's offer, the settlement conditions will become stricter. If Kiev and Western capitals refuse it, as before, then, after all, this is their business, their political and moral responsibility to continue the bloodshed. Obviously, the realities on the ground, on the line of engagement will continue to change, and not in favor of the Kiev regime. The conditions for the start of negotiations will change, he clarified.
