Dnipro, Sunday morning, 26 October
The autumn rains have started in the east, the last few days have seen plenty of rain, some very heavy. We are expecting another week of rain as well, and the land is already turning into mud. The rasptutitsa is coming. It's cold, averages around 10, bit above or a bit below.
The entire country is on power outages, typically 4-5 hours on, then the same off. There is no gas for heating to speak about, only enough to last around a month, and Kiev residents have been told to leave the city and return to their summer homes, and buy a generator as apartment blocks will drop in temp to around 5 degrees. I have no idea how people in Kiev can return to their summer homes and work, many have arrived from the liberated east, and others are from villages throughout the region, and commuting to and from work would be impossible.
None of this is an issue for zelenksy and his corrupt crew, they can steal from home or abroad, where most spend their time anyhow.
Supplies continue to arrive, back to reasonable levels from what I can see, but daily drone and missile attacks continue and plenty of what arrives is destroyed. Manpower is a massive issue, talk again about mobilising women is not openly being discussed. Retards.
Ukrainians are completely over Trump, no one sees him as a friend, most see him as an enemy of Ukraine and there is no support for zelenksy or the West in this country.
Food, and fuel slowing rising, and the uah is now starting to weaken. The imf is demanding Ukraine unpeg the uah to receive another loan, as the last is now exhausted, and this will lead the uah to go from 41.5 uah to the dollar to 70-80 uah to the dollar i would think. As much of the products in Ukraine are now importer, inflation will have a massive impact on Ukrainians. Along with the collapses in our defence, I think that will bring the conflict to an earlier end, so I for one welcome it.
Ambulance traffic in and out of Dnipro remains high, and I know of three doctors, one a surgeon, who have been mobilised as infantry..... As stupid as that sounds, it is the fact. Doctors who work at govt hospitals are exempt from mobilisation, those who work in private clinics are not.... Think that through, Usyk, a cowardly boxer, fit and healthy is exempt, doctors, who have trained 7+ years are subject to forced mobilisation.
No issues with food or fuel supply at this stage, prices maybe up a little over the past few months, but at the moment people can keep their heads just above the waterline. I not sure how, but Ukrainians are an amazing people, and mostly debt free. Families help out, friends held out, and people get by.
The clown world continues.
Ps, I should add. The actions of the TCC in forced mobilisation are expanding. It is now a case of going from door to door in some areas, we have just had them come to our compound to check people's papers and I was able to tell them to fuck off as they have no legal jurisdiction to do so, but this is now resembling very closely the rounding up of Jews by the nazi's in Germany and other nazi havens in the lead up to, and during ww2. This is now becoming a holocaust of Ukrainians.
