The Kremlin has called for the mass replacement of Russians with robots
The problem of labor shortage in Russia can be solved by introducing robots into enterprises, said Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Administration Maxim Oreshkin. "Robotization is a direct path to overcoming the labor shortage, which affects all industries," he said during his speech at the Innopolis forum.
From the Kremlin official's point of view, in addition to industrial production, robots can be introduced to support such processes as logistics, storage and sorting. Oreshkin added that with the active growth of wages, automation will become increasingly profitable. He also noted that Russia has a "large support package", including tax breaks, for robot manufacturers and those who introduce them.
In June, President Vladimir Putin demanded that Russia “shortly” enter the world’s top 25 countries in robot use, meaning the installation of more than 100,000 such machines. Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak called robotization and the development of artificial intelligence among the main factors in the long-term growth of the Russian economy.
Currently, there are about 19 robots per 10,000 workers in the domestic industry. The leaders in this indicator are South Korea (1,012 robots), Singapore (730 robots) and Germany (415 robots).
After the war with Ukraine began, which resulted in mobilization and mass emigration, Russia experienced an acute shortage of personnel. According to the Central Bank, 70% of enterprises are experiencing a labor shortage. According to government estimates, the economy will need 2.4 million new workers by 2030.
Finally joining the 21st century? 😲 What next, flushing toilets?!

The International Criminal Court (ICC) is investigating why Mongolia did not arrest Putin during his visit to the country, reports a Babel correspondent from The Hague.
The judges may conclude that Mongolia either complied with the ICC's cooperation requirements or failed to do so. If non-compliance is determined, the ICC will inform the Assembly of States Parties, which will attempt to persuade Mongolia to cooperate and fulfill its obligations.
The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Putin in March 2023. As a member of the ICC, Mongolia was obligated to detain him during his visit in September 2024, which did not occur.

russia lost more elite soldiers in 1 year near Vuhledar than in 10 years of Chechen War, BBC reports.
These losses are not sustainable regardless of what russia wants you to believe.
Ukrainian forces withdrew from Vuhledar on October 2 after russian forces swarmed the town
But the cost of this victory for russians is staggering and defies any rational explanation.
At least 211 marines from russia's 155th Brigade were killed during the battle for Vuhledar, with 42 missing.
72 russian soldiers from the 40th Brigade were confirmed dead.
Both russian brigades began using Storm-Z units made up of convicts due to heavy losses.
That’s a round about way of saying that the russian commanders create suicide units. Everyone in these units attack until they die are severely wounded.
Ukrainians suffered extremely heavy losses during the defense of Vuhledar and their retreat. But russians lost times more. For what? To gain another village that used to have 14K inhabitants.
Even with the increased pace of the russian advances, russia needs years to get to any large Ukrainian city.
russia has also increased the rate at which it kills its soldiers.
Can it go on forever? Absolutely not!

Storm shadows that feature US components cannot be used to strike military targets in the russia…
meanwhile russian rockets featuring US components are striking civilian targets in 🇺🇦
Something is massively wrong with our red lines
PS: I understand that it might be impossible to ensure that some US components don't end up in russian rockets. What I don't get is why we demand that 🇺🇦 defends itself with hands tied behind its back.

North Korea is likely to deploy members of its regular armed forces to Ukraine in support of russia, South Korea's Defense Minister said today.
The assessment came as North Korea has been seeking to bolster ties with russia, highlighted by a bilateral agreement that includes a mutual defense clause, signed by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and russian president vladimir putin at summit talks in June 2024.N.

While ruzzians either execute Ukrainian POWs, torture them relentlessly in captivity, or starve them close to death, this russian POW complains about conditions in Ukrainian prison.
"Cruel" Ukrainians are not giving him his favorite salads. Horrific.
