OH and multiple sources including Zelinsky are saying NASAMS are in country
"I want to thank President Biden for the positive decision, which has already been made, and the U.S. Congress - we received NASAMS," he said.

Thinking about the winter to come, wouldn't positions be pretty much fixed, as they will have dug in and set up to fight the cold? Won't HIMARS and Excalibur munitions then become very important and even more powerful, as fixed positions are easy targets, especially with data from NATO? Targeting forward CIC. cook houses, outhouses, and stores would seem to be a strategy that would cause a lot of pain for the Russkies. It would seem drones would also be very effective against known fixed positions, so controlling airspace will be vital. It looks like rain time in Ukraine as I look at the latest weather forecasts, so mud is certainly in the picture.

"Western capitals are making contingency plans should Vladimir Putin take steps towards acting on his threats of nuclear attacks against Ukraine and are sending private warnings to the Kremlin about possible consequences, according to western officials."
NASAMs now deployed, wonder if this will free up other platforms for the front.

Winter doesn't stop activities by prepared and trained forces such as Sweden, Finland etc... who have competencies to pass on to Ukraine. But, Russia, continue to think that Winter is your friend, even as you fail to provide fuel, food and munitions to your troops in the theatre.
It's a lot more cost effective to just fill the same body bag with sand, and use that, the conscripts can have a much better life on the right side of the argument in Ukraine than they will have in Russia, as #200's/#300's.
Reportedly someone got disappointed with being mobilized, opened fire and wounded the military commissar.
Ecce Homo! Loquitur...
Beng thrown in to plug the gaps and fortify the front no doubt.
Conscripts do not undergo any military training before being sent to the war against Ukraine, Ukraine's General Staff said.

Is Lukashenka turning his coat? Belarus is taking distance to Russia: TASS in Russia reports that Belarus has banned eg cars, locomotives, refridgerators, fuel elements and very extensive list of other goods from being exported to Eurasian Economic Union (which is very much a treaty in between Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Armenia. The only country with which Belarus has any border is Russia).
Ban is valid for six months starting today.
In essence Russia can't expect much help from Belarus. I would be intreated to know what the country leaders of former Soviet states agreed in Samarkand behind Putins back...

I wonder what is so interesting about lake Razelm and surrounding area? Been comprehensively covered for quite awhile by the the USN Aries II Orions. Interesting.

The eastern tip of Romania has been the go-to location for much of NATO's ISR assets (here and the Black Sea itself). There's been a presence there pretty much constantly since the beginning of the conflict. Intriguing the USN are participating though - a good work out for their crews too.

In accordance with the document, the temporary ban does not apply to goods accompanied by a certificate of origin of goods or an act of examination of the origin of goods confirming their Belarusian or Russian origin. Also, the ban will not apply to goods exported outside of Belarus under one-time licenses issued by the Ministry of Antimonopoly Regulation and Trade. Goods "moved between parts of the territory of the Russian Federation in transit through the territory of the Republic of Belarus", as well as goods "exported from the Republic of Belarus to the Russian Federation within the framework of the Union State, including in transit through the territories of other states" will not be banned for export. The Resolution of the Council of Ministers also defines several other conditions
The ban does not concern:
- from outside EAEU ending outside/inside EAEU (in essence for Belarus that means that goods coming from eg EU via Poland, Lithuania, Latvia or Ukraine on their way to Russia would be allowed through, highly unlikely we'll be seeing any such transport).
- international humanitarian assistance based on government decisions (this is the wild card, if Lukashenka decides that a refridgerator or an electric toothbrush is humanitarian assistance then so be it).
- Goods placed under customs procedures in a member state of the EAEU other than from the Republic of Belarus, transported in transit through the territory of the Republic Belarus. (This allows Russian transports from/to Kaliningrad, however it would require the neighboring EU countries to allow that traffic as well)
Also, in paragraph 4 of the resolution, Belarus is proposing to the other EAEU countries to introduce similar measures (making most of the afocermentioned exceptions rather unnecessary).
So in essence this bans medical supplies to Russian armed forces as well as fuel and semiconductors etc. And Belarus is asking for Kazakhstan, Armenia and Kyrgystan to do the same.
