Some updates via headlines and updates others have provided. It appears smugglers in Iran and Iraq are supplying Russia with weapons and equipment. What's important here is that Russia needs them to sustain their war efforts and they can't get them anywhere else. Of course we don't want more weapons in Russian hands, but this does seem to speak towards Russia having trouble in their invasion.
We also are getting more details on what happened to Ukrainian civilians "deported" into Russia (better known as kidnapped). Some of these civilians ended up in remote places in Siberia. Their documents taken from them so they cannot freely leave, they are given work papers and told to report for duty. And it appears they were also forced to sign documents while under duress claiming the shelling in Mariupol was done by Ukrainians, not Russians. This is a classical Russian move, and that will absolutely be displayed all over Russian media. And I believe they will attempt to use it in the UN as well (they already may have)
In lighter news, we have also heard that Poland seems to have misplaced some tanks, officially, but says there's no link to the sudden appearance of similar tanks in Ukrainian hands in the Donbas. Makes me laugh a little bit, Poland is one of Ukraine's biggest supporters right now. However it happened, I'm glad Ukraine has more tanks and Poland doesn't seem too concerned about the tanks they "lost".
