“It wasn’t yesterday that 100,000 appeared. This number has existed for a long time, it can be a little more, a little less.”
Despite its size, the group is not well prepared and motivated, Cherevatyi stressed.
“Yes, it’s large and it’s necessary to take into account its size,” he said.
“However, this number is not an indicator of a threat or cause for fear.”

Zitat:Captured Russian Weapons Being Studied By UK

Disclosures about U.K. foreign materiel exploitation come as the government announces its future priorities for the armed forces. [...]

Russian military equipment captured in Ukraine is being analyzed in the United Kingdom to help develop new weapons and tactics, the U.K. Ministry of Defense has confirmed. Russian armored vehicles are a particular focus of study, while new concepts developed in response to the war in Ukraine include a high-mobility vehicle armed with Brimstone anti-armor missiles, as well as infantry riding into battle on e-bikes while carrying recoilless rifles. [...] That the United Kingdom is conducting so-called foreign materiel exploitation or FME, programs using Russian equipment captured in Ukraine is not surprising, considering the various intelligence windfalls that we know have already fallen into U.S. hands, for example. But U.K. defense officials had not previously disclosed details of specific FME programs benefiting from such captures. [...]

Although Radakin [Anm.: Chief of Defense Staff, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin] didn’t mention any specific types of military vehicles that might be involved, we know that examples of some of the latest variants of Russian main battle tanks, electronic warfare vehicles, and air defense systems have all been captured during the war. We have also seen examples of captured Russian tanks sent back to the United States for FME, an activity that has taken place in the public eye, although much more has presumably been taking place on the clandestine side, too.

Two day after Russia has pulled out of an agreement for Ukraine to ship grain through the Black Sea, the Kremlin declared all cargo ships traveling to Ukrainian ports as potentially carrying military cargo in support of Kyiv.

Additionally, the Russian MOD declared certain sections of the Black Sea hazardous to navigation. “Corresponding information warnings on the withdrawal of safety guarantees to mariners have been issued in accordance with the established procedure,” reads the message form the MoD.

Es ist zwar nicht zu erwarten, dass  in diesen Länder Menschen verhungern, da diese Länder ihr Getriede anderweitig auf dem Weltmarkt beschaffen können.
Aber die Preise steigen eben für alle, womöglich auch für die Russen selbst.

Zitat: In der Eigenversorgung Rußlands ist es lange Tradition dass die Weltmarktpreise nur eine untergeordnete Rolle spielen.

Zu Sowjetzeiten hat man auch Getreide exportiert, einfach nur um der Welt zu zeigen, dass es anscheinend keinen Mangel und somit Überfluss gibt und dass man ein globaler Player sei (und natürlich auch, um die "sonnige Seite" der kommunistischen "Glückseligkeit" zu suggerieren), während zugleich hinter den Kulissen Mangel und teils offene Hungersnot herrschten. Allerdings war das damals möglich mit dieser Verschleierung, als Russland noch verschlossen und wenig von außerhalb zugänglich war, in der heutigen, vernetzten Welt dürfte das mit der Verschleierung nicht mehr gelingen.
