An unexpected impact of the war on Russia itself is the weather. Russia's infrastructure was always unreliable but its this kind of thing which can make people turn

As Vladimir Putin is spending billions of pounds on his war in Ukraine, people across Moscow have been left freezing without heating or hot water. Temperatures in the capital plummeted to -30°C, and the old heating network is reportedly unable to withstand the weather. This has meant that more than 20,000 residents have been abandoned freezing in sub-zero temperatures recorded in their own homes for days.

This comes amid rumours of an incident at one of the largest ammunition plants in the town of Klimovsk, which some claim is connected with the problems. According to reports, Klimovsk 'is heated by one departmental boiler house of the local cartridge plant', which has broken down.
This has resulted in temperatures INSIDE the apartments reaching -10C and there were spontaneous protests in the town. A resident complained: 'The police arrived quickly to disrupt us. I wish they would bring back the heating as fast as they dispatched the cops [to disperse us].'

That must be a big misunderstanding. It was Europe who was expected to freeze during winter. ;)

Nicely ironic
 
again, hoping that these are falsely reported numbers:

Agreed ..... 300,000 a month is.... 10,000 a day ...... roughly 400 an hour or 1 every 9 seconds. Not buying it. And 5,200 operators. From where? EXisting troops re-tasked? New recruits (and we've seen how well new Russian soldiers perform.....)?
