”General-Lieutenant of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, Anatoly Elizarov, was almost killed by an icicle that fell from a building in Moscow.
After the incident, he was hospitalized in serious condition, with a head injury. “

It's been so since Trotsky was killed in Mexico all the way to the polonium poisoning of Litvinenko: making it in a way that sends a message. Domestically.
I can't help but thinking that the Kremlin wants to make it absolutely clear that if anyone turns against them there is no place in the world the traitors would be safe.

Hmmmm. No prints on an icicle. Sounds like a job for Poirot.

BREAKING: Major ship insurers cancel war risk cover in 2023 for Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.
This is a predictable move which reflects compliance of insurance companies with sanctions and their desire to minimize war risk
The big question is how this might impact Black Sea grain exports, as the risk of Russian sabotage of Ukrainian grain carriers remains high.

Are the ships serving Ukraine not international or Turkish, so should not be affected, however I do not think that is the case for Russia.
Did anyone actually see any follow-up shots?
"The Ukrainian air force spokesman said satellite imagery of the airfield would soon reveal the full damage from Monday's attack, adding that earlier blasts had damaged aircraft at the base."

So a 40-ton tank gets to torque itself to a standstill from 20kmph to 0 in about a foot, using a 20' long lever. Nothing to see here, move along; except, I wouldn't recommend standing by the tube the next time they pull the trigger. Russian metallurgy is not bad, occasionally it is pretty good, even if they can't find the center of a foreign for machining all the time. It is still gonna be an open question as to what the tube does next "clearing" round. Perhaps they should return this tank to the Kremlin for ceremonial duties beside Vlad and fire some blanks off....
Ukraine seems to be a great source for study materials for the west. "You wanted what latest russian tech for study? No problem, we have it!"

Can you clarify; is that owned, flagged, or territorial-waters of the nations referred to?
The UK club notice explained there would no longer be coverage for loss or damage arising from the war in Ukraine, or in any territory where Russian forces are engaged in conflict across Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova. That includes any seizures, arrest or restrained movement of ships and cargo in those regions.
In a notice to its members last week UK P&I club said: “Due to the impact of losses from the Russian/Ukrainian situation affecting the availability of global insurance and reinsurance capacity, the club’s reinsurers are no longer able to secure reinsurance for war risk exposure to Russian, Ukrainian or Belarus territorial risks.”

Have never been a fan of Stoltenberg's "sit on the fence" demeanor and vacillation on everything, but I'm warming to him: He is very animated here - with hand waving that is almost Latin - and he's clearly fully invested in what he's saying. I hope the audience of European politicians is paying attention and take the message to heart.

- Some other indications are that this may also affect corresponding airspace insurances, and one indication I saw referenced Belarus airspace.
- The railfreight re-insurance market is the dog that isn't barking, so far.
