Russia has singled out European firms in its latest drive to strip foreign owners of the right to manage their Russian assets, government and company sources said, with the Kremlin accusing the European Union of involvement in the war in Ukraine.

Russia placed the assets of Swiss food giant Nestle, German wholesaler Metro ‌AG and French retailer Auchan under temporary management this month.

A Russian corporate source, who also spoke on condition of anonymity, accused European firms of deliberately stifling the development of their Russian units, ultimately harming the ⁠Russian economy.

For several weeks now I've been seeing in other sources the Uke Air Force is having challenges regarding operational readiness of its F-16 fleet. On top of that, missiles are becoming a further challenge.

TWZ has an update today regarding the situation:

Ukraine’s F-16 Fleet Is In A Readiness Crisis

As the war rages on, more than half of the aging fighters are reportedly grounded, while Western air-to-air missile stocks are also running low. As the war rages on, more than half of the aging fighters are reportedly grounded, while Western air-to-air missile stocks are also running low.
