I remember articles bragging about sabotage of Belarusian railways early in the conflict.
I’m surprised that these railways still could be used for food transport out if they could not be used for Russian equipment transport in?

Mr Christoforou’s use of “higher” or “lower” with regard to the USD/RUB is confusing. He says the ruble keeps going “lower”. What he means is fewer rubles per dollar. Really, the ruble is going HIGHER, becoming worth more dollars. NOT LOWER. It’s the dollar that is going lower. I wish he would adhere to the value of his subject. His subject is the ruble. Its value is rising. It is going HIGHER.

I think the words “stronger” and “weaker” would be clearer.

When a country is ruled by capitalists, its sidewalks – if there are any – are inadequate. That is a domestic feature of local government, which is notoriously ruled by real estate developers and agents, small business, and their political servants. Smaller or no-sidewalks maximize the area of a property that can be sold. Large, comfortably allocated sidewalks do not sell.

The ruble is not lower. The key-word is “fewer” not “lower”. You get fewer rubles per dollar.
