Something to keep in mind.

I went through some of the amounts contributed/committed by the various countries to Ukraine. If you look at the various amounts vs the contributing country's population then Canada (475 CAD/person) is not that far behind the US (525 USD/person). Bearing in mind the concept of discretionary funds (ie funds available for things other than the necessities of maintaining a reasonable living standard) I think the Canadians can be quite proud of their contribution. Economy of scale/gross size of the economy has a very large effect when we are discussing the contributions to Ukraine.

______________ Population_______Funding
Canada______~41,000,000______19.5 billion CAD
US_________~330,000,000_____174.0 billion USD

Oct 20 (Reuters) - Ukraine struck a manufacturer of military explosives deep inside Russian territory overnight, as well as storage infrastructure at a military airfield in the Lipetsk region, Kyiv's General Staff said in a statement on Sunday.

Russian air defence units downed 110 Ukrainian drones over the country, Russia's defence ministry said, including one over the Moscow region, 43 over the border region of Kursk, and 27 over southwestern Lipetsk region.

The Russian SHOT Telegram channel reported that drones attempted to strike the Ya. M. Sverdlov State Owned Enterprise in Dzerzhinsk city, Nizhny Novgorod region, about 400 km (250 miles) east of Moscow.

The explosives plant, one of the largest manufacturers of its kind used by Russian forces in the war that Moscow launched against Ukraine in February 2022, is subject to sanctions by the United States and the European Union.

Kyiv's General Staff said it was still assessing the damage from its attack.

Four firefighters received minor shrapnel wounds in a drone attack on an industrial zone in Dzerzhinsk city, the region's governor said, without specifying the target of the attack.

The Russian defence ministry said on Telegram that eight Ukrainian drones were destroyed over Nizhny Novgorod. Residents reported powerful explosions and white smoke in the area of the plant, SHOT reported.

Reuters could not independently verify the reports.

 
To all Russian leaders, BUY A BUNGALOW.


Mikhail Rogachov, a former vice president of corporate governance at the Yukos oil company, was found dead on the pavement outside his home. According to local media reports, he fell from a window.

The pro-Kremlin channel Mash on Telegram reported that Rogachov was suffering from an advanced stage of cancer. Mash claims he left a farewell note and, according to investigators, took his own life.


However, the independent channel VChK-OGPU writes on Telegram that sources "close to Rogachov" categorically denied the cancer diagnosis. The deceased's relatives informed the channel that he had breakfast with his family, appeared in good spirits, and showed no signs of suicidal intentions.

Meanwhile, the Belarusian opposition channel Nexta, writing about Rogachov's death, used quotation marks around the purported cause of death, suggesting he fell from a window.
