I think it's time for Ukraine to send a FP-5 Flamingo strike into the Russian defence ministry in Moscow.

I'm thinking they're being hoarded for one massive strike against Russian thermal power(heating?) systems. Payback's a bitch.

This artical is a bit long, but very informative and well worth the time.

I'm seeing some unofficial reporting that Belgium has withdrawn its objections to the European Commission's plan to transfer revenues from Russian assets to Ukraine.

Some €140 Billion of Russian assets are held by Euroclear, which is located in Belgium (hence why that country could dictate whether the funds could be used to support Ukraine).

Apparently, Belgium has overcome fears of legal risks and has agreed not to block the initiative. The reporting suggests Belgium was the last holdout, Germany, the UK, France, and the Netherlands gave their approval earlier. What's not clear is whether other EU members, like Hungary, Slovakia or Bulgaria, could still trip up the initiative, so maybe keep watching for further developments.

That said, I truly hope this is good news for Kyiv.

Tangentially related - if the Flygvapnet is starting to receive Gripen E/Fs, it will become easier for them to potentially donate some older C/D versions to Ukraine in a year or so:

Interesting. It's not exactly the Schwerer Gustav that the Germans deployed to Crimea in the 1940s.

I wonder if Ukraine could make use of such a weapon today? Probably too tempting a fixed target for every Russian drone.

When the war first started I wondered if China would make a smart move to abandon its support of Russia (see Sino-Soviet split) and throw its lot in with Ukraine, with a move to get its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) from the Stans (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan) to Europe through Ukraine. Imagine Putin's faceplant if in March 2022, China denounces Russia's action and votes in favour of UN ES-11/1, condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This is followed in Sept 2022 by Xi Jinping inviting Zelenskyy to meet privately with him in Kazakhstan during Xi's first international trip since Covid, after which non-lethal aid begins to flow from China to Ukraine. Next, in Dec 2022, Xi visited Saudi Arabia, and in this scenario, after securing oil supplies from the Arabs, announces that China will begin limiting its purchases of Russian oil and gas, with an aim to be zero on both by the end of 2024. In 2024, China unilaterally cancels the 2008 China-Russia Border Agreement and demands that negotiations begin on returning territory to China. Then I woke up, sigh...

Probably, it would be possible with someone like Deng, not with Xi.
