Nobody can really know what the economy of Russia doing, it does not give the figures any more and lie about their figures. No European country can on his own fight this kinda war and keep up their economy, that is why we give them economic support, it is a critical part of the war to keep Ukraine alive. The same was with the UK and the USSR in WW2 without economical and military support Hitler could never be defeated, Churchill and Stalin both begged for economical and military support. That is only what Ukraine ask for, give us the means so that we Ukraine can win this so that you western countries do not need to send troops.

Putin and his gang do not get this information, they are only told that all is going according to the plan. It is more important to be loyal to Putin than tell him the truth, for Putin this is the deal that is why he is surrounded by this type of people as every dictator deserves. These 50,000 are only what they could confirm there are a lot that are not included because we can not count the ones still rotting in the fields and that with shortages in ammo still in the beginning of the year tells this year will be bloody for Russia. All for a couple kilometres of wastes land and rubble that can not be used in the decades to come.
Let's hope I know..., but it is all Ukraine has on the moment. U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson said he is moving forward with his plan to hold a vote on a series of foreign aid bills for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan despite pressure from Republican hardliners, CNN reported on April 17.
Johnson told U.S. lawmakers that the vote will be held in the evening of April 20.

Ukraine's forces to receive 2,000 Ukrainian-made short-range electronic warfare systems
Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister for Innovation and Minister of Digital Transformation, has announced that 2,000 items of Ukrainian-made short-range electronic warfare equipment developed by Brave1 cluster companies will be deployed to the battlefield. "Short-range electronic warfare, particularly for trench warfare, protects soldiers and their locations, armoured vehicles, and evacuation cars. It disables Russian FPV drones, scavenger drones and reconnaissance drones. That means tens of thousands of lives and pieces of equipment saved."
According to Fedorov, there was no development of short-range electronic warfare in Ukraine before the full-scale invasion. Thanks to Brave1's systematic work, the industry has begun to expand, and there are now hundreds of technological solutions available for purchase by the state. The digital transformation minister added that he would continue to sign new contracts. "Our strategic goal is to ensure that every unit and every piece of equipment that needs EW protection gets it. And Brave1's objective remains to discover and support developers working to boost the military technologically."

NATO allies are allowed to violate the NATO lower limit for, among other things, ammunition stock to support Ukraine, says Stoltenberg.
“The decision is up to the countries themselves.” This was the commitment of the Netherlands and Denmark today. Pressure is rapidly mounting on Dutch Defence to deliver one of its four Patriot systems (the Netherlands already gave two Patriot systems) to Ukraine. Prime Minister Rutte said Tuesday in a debate that NATO requirements stand in the way of such a delivery, but NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg gave short shrift to this argument Wednesday in Brussels. After speaking with three smaller countries at the forefront of military support to Ukraine (Denmark, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic), Stoltenberg sent a clear message. 'The situation on the battlefield remains extremely difficult. Ukraine needs more help. If allies have to make a choice between meeting NATO goals in terms of military capability and giving support to Ukraine, my message is clear: send more aid to Ukraine.' Stoltenberg cited as a shining example, Denmark, which has given all its artillery to Ukraine and ordered new artillery for itself. 'If bypassing the national targets set by NATO is the only way to deliver aid to Ukraine, then that is the right thing to do.' He added that this also underscores the importance of increasing production of critical weapons systems to replenish national stockpiles.
