Thanks to European assistance, Ukraine is significantly narrowing the artillery advantage that RuZZia used to have. A lot of the assistance was made possible not just by directly ramping up production within Europe alone, but also by relying on a global network of suppliers from countries including South Africa, Korea, Turkiye, India, and Australia. Meanwhile RuZZia is also relying on foreign suppliers for their ammunition needs. *Reportedly half of their artillery shells are coming from North Korea.* That means RuZZia is unable to domestically satisfy their own thirst for ammunition, so now they have to pay North Korea for their own shells. Some thoughts: - Ukraine is demonstrating exactly WHY foreign alliances matter. Something JD the Couch Fukker really ought to learn. - RuZZia used to enjoy a 10:1 artillery advantage, but now that's down to 2:1. - RuZZia is also running low on armored vehicles, which is why motorcycles and Jeeps are being sighted more and more. - All of the above may be the reason why RuZZia's offensives on the eastern front have stalled. RuZZia was supposed to have taken the Ukrainian supply hub of Pokrovsk by now, but reports indicate that Ukraine has taken back some positions there. - All of the above may also be the result of Ukraine's incursion into the RuZZian oblast of Kursk. There has been some debate among analysts and milbloggers over whether Ukraine's Kursk offensive was really worth it. I believe it was given how much resources it drained from the RuZZian war machine. - Reports these days indicate a coming summer offensive by RuZZia. I personally don't think that's going to be any different than anything else RuZZia has tried during PooTin's entire war of choice. - Instead, indications are that RuZZia needs to keep forward momentum going AT ANY COST. Doesn't matter if RuZZia takes even a few square meters of territory per day. The minute RuZZia stops forward momentum is the minute PooTin's political fortunes start to dry up like a tree without water. - Maybe by the time that happens, the dumbass Trump will finally show up and say, "OK PooTin, now's a good time to make a deal."

Yes solar in Europe really taking off. Goodbye Russia! Displacing more and more fossil fueled generation: European markets break records for solar production in April AleaSoft Energy Forecasting’s latest analysis finds Germany, Portugal and Spain broke their records for solar production on a day in April last week, while Italy recorded its second highest daily figure ever. Meanwhile, weekly average electricity prices increased across most major European markets. May 1, 2025 Patrick Jowett Markets Europe Germany Italy Portugal Spain Image: AleaSoft Energy Forecasting Share Several major European markets broke their records for solar production on a day in April last week, according to analysis from AleaSoft Energy Forecasting. The consultancy says the Portuguese market recorded 22 GWh on April 22, before the Spanish market reached 197 GWh a day later. On April 28, the German market totalled 397 GWh. Last week also saw the Italian market register its second highest ever figure when it hit 144 GWh on April 22, second only to its record from two weeks prior. Despite strong solar performances in some countries, AleaSoft found the weekly average electricity price increased across most analyzed markets during the fourth week of April. Weekly average price increases were noted in the Belgian, British, Dutch, French, German, Nordic, Portuguese and Spanish markets, with the Italian market the only one to buck the trend. For the second consecutive week, the Portuguese and Spanish markets had the lowest averages, at €36.20 ($41.02)/MWh and €37.63/MWh. The British market overtook the Italian market to have the highest average, reaching €93.48/MWh. Continuing a trend from last week, AleaSoft found most analyzed markets recorded some negative hourly electricity prices. Portugal and Spain hit their lowest minimum hourly prices in their history on April 27, with the Portuguese market price reaching -€5.00/MWh between 11:00 and 15:00 and the Spanish market price registering -€6.01/MWh from 15:00 to 16:00. On the same day, from 13:00 to 14:00, the Belgian market reached the lowest hourly price of the week across all markets, at -€266.00/MWh, which was the lowest price in this market since June 2019. AleaSoft says a decline in wind energy production led to higher weekly prices in most markets last week. During the first week of May, it is forecasting prices will fall across most analyzed markets, influenced by a drop in electricity demand and an increase in wind energy production. Meanwhile, solar energy production is predicted to increase in Germany this week, but fall in Italy and Spain. pv-magazine.com
