"Operating at the limits of its capacity, the economy is now showing increasing signs of overheating," the forecast indicated.
According to WIIW, Russian economy grew by 3.5% last year. However, high inflation & key bank rates raised to 16%, analysts estimate this year's growth will reach only 1.5%. "Russia is increasingly dependent on the war continuing enormous spending on it is like a drug for the economy," Vasily Astrov, Russia country expert at WIIW, pointed out.
Astrov indicated about 29% of the country's federal budget will be allocated for armaments in 2024. Generally, spending on Russian military industry has increased to 6% on country's GDP, the highest level since collapse of the Soviet Union.
In addition, the Austrian Institute has lowered its economic growth forecast for Ukraine. This year, the figure may reach 3%, which is 1.2% points lower than WIIW experts had previously expected.
This pointed to a possible victory of Donald Trump in US presidential election, makes future of Western financial assistance to Ukraine, which is defending itself from Russian invasion, even less certain.
Background: In 2023, the European Union, affected by war, inflation and weakening export markets, managed to avoid recession despite the weakness of its two largest economies, Germany and France, and given that the EU had not experienced any significant growth since mid-2022.

The Details: Copenhagen was supposed to deliver the first six aircraft by the new year of 2024, but instead, their delivery is expected in the second quarter, the ministry informed the newspaper..Russian dissident revealed on interview with French business magazine Challenges..Published on Jan. 30, a Swiss-based company Destinus had been working on military drones in parallel with its commercial work and providing drones to the Ukrainian armed forces for almost a year....
The article states that the delivery schedule has always depended on the fulfilment of several conditions, including the successful training of Ukrainian pilots and the availability of sufficient logistics and infrastructure for servicing the F-16s in Ukraine, as stated by the ministry without providing more detailed information.
Berlingske reported that, currently, six Ukrainian pilots are undergoing training on these fighters in Denmark. In August, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen promised to send 19 F-16 aircraft to Kyiv.
Background:
On 5 January, it was reported that Norway had completed the delivery to Denmark of two F-16 fighter jets intended for training Ukrainian pilots.
Norway announced this week that it would send two F-16 fighter jets to Denmark to train Ukrainian pilots in their use and confirmed that it would send 10 instructors to Denmark to help with the training.
Belgium will also send two two-seat F-16 fighter jets and about fifty personnel to Denmark between March and September to train Ukrainian pilots.
Ukrainian pilots are or will be trained in the USA, Romania, Denmark, France and the UK. Last year, six Ukrainians completed basic training, including learning English, before Christmas.

Russia Enlists 30,000 Soldiers Monthly for Ukraine Conflict....(to replace those missing, kill and those)
Vadym Skibitskyi, deputy chief major general of Ukraine's main military intelligence arm, has recently reported that Russia is enlisting approximately 30,000 soldiers monthly. Although this recruitment of soldiers each month suffices to compensate for frontline losses, Russia would have to initiate a larger-scale mobilization to build a more substantial strategic reserve.
This rate of recruitment, which averages 1,000 to 1,100 people per day, is in response to the significant casualties Russia has sustained in ongoing Ukraine conflict. This info is in line with the observations made by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), which corroborates the scale of Russia's efforts to maintain operational rotations in Ukraine. Targeting by year 2025, to hitt 500k Casualty.
Skibitskyi's statements shed light on the high-casualty approach of the Russian military, particularly in strategic urban battles such as those in Bakhmut and Avdiivka. Analysts have observed the continuation of these tactics across various fronts, notably the United States' report in October about Russia employing "human wave" tactics. These involve deploying underprepared and poorly equipped troops into high-intensity combat scenarios, often resulting in significant losses.

Senate will reconvene Thursday to vote on a supplemental funding bill that would send billions of dollars to Ukraine and Israel, like the bipartisan bill, the foreign aid package would include military assistance for Ukraine, security assistance for Israel and humanitarian assistance for civilians in Ukraine, Gaza & West Bank. Bill would not include US border security measures outlined in bipartisan bill, although some Republican senators expressed interest in adding border provisions through an amendment process. Senate held an initial vote on foreign aid package on Wednesday, in which 58 members supported advancing it. But 60 votes will ultimately be required to approve the bill, so there is currently not enough support to get the legislation passed in the Senate.
Republicans’ standalone Israel aid bill fails in House vote.

Bill assisting Ukraine, Israel & Taiwan is set to pass as soon as Tuesday. Then comes a multi-front battle across Capitol to determine its fate. Senate is set to approve $95B national security funding package as soon as Tuesday, delivering long-stalled aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. Then House will take its turn — and there will be a multi-directional battle to decide the fate of the bill.
That’s b'cos GOP’s thin margin of control leaves Speaker Mike Johnson with few politically palatable choices as he considers Senate aid bill that many in his party want to scrap. But if Johnson tries to ignore the bill, a potential rebellion could begin to brew among rank-and-file members in the ideological middle who still want to see Ukraine aid pass.
Several players or blocs are positioned to grab power over the aid measure once it reaches the House — starting with Johnson himself. it’s hard to see that type of response quieting the eagerness among establishment and centrist Republicans to vote on the legislation anyway.
“There's a general belief we need to get it done” shared by House Republicans."

Spokesperson for the defense forces of the Tavria sector, said this on Ukrainian television, Ukrinform reports.
150,000 people lived in Melitopol before the full-scale Russian invasion. Within six months after the occupation, more than half of Melitopol’s residents left the city for the government-controlled territory and abroad, leaving 60,000-70,000 people in the city, said the official.. Since then, the city has been flooded with freeloaders and migrant workers from Russia.”
According to many local resident, population has become larger than it was before the occupation, exceeding 150,000. Mostly, these are the people who arrived.” Fedorov believes Russian administration is trying to “extinguish Ukrainian resistance, which continues in the temporarily occupied territories” & to they Russia want to change the gene pool to make life more difficult for locals.
