Ukraine shows the “Passages” resort in Henichesk (occupied Kherson, bordering Crimea) getting blown to smithereens, taking +/- 100 Russians with it. The Russians were using the hotel as an FSB base. Ukraine’s special forces destroyed it.

Gazprom’s debt is currently larger than Russia’s federal deficit ☠️

Yesterday’s REPO auction at the Bank of Russia had very high demand. But the volume of rubles allotted shrank to 4.410 billion, down from 4.780 billion last week.

Both Ryazan and Moscow refineries halted output following Ukrainian drone attacks last week. 🔥 www.reuters.com/business/ene... www.reuters.com/business/ene...

Gasoline/petrol is getting verrrry expensive in occupied Crimea. Shortages are on their way again this summer.

Yet another Russian oil refinery is on fire… 🔥 location pending

Huge REPO yesterday, but disappointing bond auction today. Russian banks are very clearly under stress!!!

My air alert app has been off all day 😢

‼️ The Russia sanctions discharge petition now has 218 signatures in the House, meaning the underlying bill will be put for a floor vote. 🍿

REPO was the largest it’s ever been in Russia!! Banks borrowed a record 4.78 trillion rubles in “emergency” funds from the central bank.

The Center for Macroeconomics and Short Term Forecasting says that there is a hidden banking crisis happening right now in Russia. 10% of all loans are bad, and corporate arrears are 250% higher than they’ve been over the past 5 years.

Andriy Yermak has been charged in the corruption probe brought by SAPO/NABU. This is a good thing! The mechanisms to fight corruption are working. www.ft.com/content/001a...

It looks like the UK is about to replace Starmer.

Russia’s massive budget deficit was covered by withdrawing money from Treasury accounts.

The major tanks at the Perm pumping station in Russia have been completely destroyed.

1\ My interpretation of the latest Russian oil & gas revenue data, beginning to show Iran oil windfall. 👉Q1 results trajectory was 6.64tr rub (pre-Iran) 👉Budget plan was 8.92tr rub 👉Current trajectory is 9.25tr rub (post-Iran) 👉Iran effect would be worth ~2.6tr rub this year IF continued as now.

Russian federal budget deficit is already 5.877 trillion rubles for January - April. Higher oil prices aren’t saving them.

Yaroslavl is on fire 🔥

The Perm pumping station burns once more, but the four large tanks got lucky... again. For now. 🔥

Russian manufacturing PMI in April dropped slightly to 48,1 points from 48,3 points in March. Services PMI also showed a slight contraction at 49,7 points up from 49,5 points in March. Business confidence dropped to the lowest it's been in 40 months.

The federal government has to bail out more Russian regions, again.

Oil and gas revenues for the first 4 months of 2026 are nearly 40% lower than last year for Russia. Unfortunately, I don’t see 2026 continuing on the 2020 track.

Ukraine has taken the Kirishi oil refinery, Russia’s second largest, offline. 🔥 www.reuters.com/business/ene...

Tuapse’s biggest tanks have all been destroyed, per new satellite imagery obtained by the Eyes of Horus Telegram channel. Around 75% of medium tanks have been destroyed as well.

REPO fell kind of significantly this week. Expect a weaker-than-normal bond auction tomorrow, methinks.

Putin reportedly spends all his time in various bunkers nowadays. His servants are under constant surveillance and can’t use their phones due to drone threats. Putin micromanages the war in Ukraine while hiding underground. www.ft.com/content/fe70...

This is art, hang it in the Louvre!

Russian refining collapses, per Bloomberg.

Perm pumping station tank

REPO has creeped up yet again. The Bank of Russia now provides liquidity to the tune of 4.590 trillion rubles to the Russian banking system. www.cbr.ru/eng/hd_base/...

Ukraine destroyed an Mi-17 and an Mi-28 helicopter 150km behind the front in Voronezh oblast, Russia. Madyar caught it all on video. 🔥 🚁 🚁

More videos from Tuapse 🤣🔥

‼️ Russia: “"No men, no money, no prospects": How Kuzbass is returning to the crisis of the 1990s” 👉 “Kuzbass miners have been living without wages and work for months.” Here come the 90s! (Note: Kuzbas = Kuzbass= Kemerovo region) www.gazeta.ru/social/2026/...

Perm is on fire, and so is Tuapse. 🔥

‼️ ‼️ Wow, huge news. The UAE will want to open the Strait of Hormuz and pump as much oil onto the market as possible. apnews.com/article/opec...

Tuapse is burning out of control

The liquidity deficit in Russia’s banking system has reached 1.5 trillion rubles, perhaps a record. This despite all-record REPO. Data per central bank and Evgeny Istrebin.

Tuapse is under attack tonight, yet again. 🔥

The Higher School of Economics has de-published a report showing business confidence has cratered to the lowest level of Putin’s presidency. Color me skeptical, therefore, when some Russians claim Russia isn’t manipulating its data. ru.themoscowtimes.com/2026/04/27/v...

Glory to Gosplan!

MMI accuses Rosstat of cooking the books on inflation. Shocker. t.me/russianmacro...

Russia had a yuan shortage in March which apparently spiked Inter bank lending funding rates (repo) to 40% and up. That indicates a major shortage and will likely be the reason why the federal finance minister said they will soon provide central banking liquidity.
