note:
Presidential elections will be held in Russia from March 15 to 17, 2024. There was already such a coincidence. On 4 March 2018 Sergei Skripal was poisoned along with his 33-year-old daughter Yulia, and on 18 March 2018 presidential elections were held in Russia.

Russian factories claimed to have delivered 1,500 main battle tanks this year, of which 1,180 to 1,280 had been reactivated from storage, according to IISS. Those numbers, along with reactivated armoured personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles, meant Russia would “be able to sustain its assault on Ukraine at current attrition rates for another two to three years, and maybe even longer”, the group said.

-> Habeck annoyed: Court of Audit report has “nothing to do with reality”
...
The verdict of the special report is clear: the federal government is failing to meet all of its energy policy goals: supplies are at risk, electricity is expensive and the environmental impacts cannot be comprehensively assessed. The authority called for comprehensive monitoring, also in order to be able to make adjustments in a timely manner.
...
Another point of criticism is the high electricity prices in Germany. They are therefore among the highest in the EU. The Ministry of Economic Affairs (BMWK) does not take into account the investment costs necessary for electricity expansion when presenting the costs for electricity from renewable energies, the Court of Auditors also announced. “The federal government must clearly state the system costs of the energy transition. “In addition, it should finally determine what it means by affordable electricity supply.”

-> HABECK ON CLIMATE GOALS - “For the first time, the numbers show: Germany is on track”
...
The more favorable greenhouse gas development compared to previous projections has various reasons. From the government's perspective, measures such as federal funding for efficient buildings, the Building Energy or Heating Act and the increase in the truck toll have helped to reduce the target gaps in the buildings and transport sectors. Accelerating the expansion of renewable energies is also having an impact. However, the caveat is that in 2023 the decline in production in the energy-intensive industry as a result of high energy prices after the Russian war of aggression on Ukraine will have mitigated emissions.

-> No combustion engine shutdown? This applies to drivers
Is the EU still moving away from its accounting fraud regarding electric cars? A table showing the actual climate footprint of different types of drive and unusual tones from the EU Commission on the subject of technological openness attracted attention in Brussels yesterday . Many questions still remain unanswered, but it looks like the review of the EU's electric plans scheduled for 2026 will underline the need to allow alternatives to electric mobility. For Michael Haberland from the “Mobil in Germany” car club, this is an overdue step: “The EU has unsettled the country and its people for long enough. The ban on combustion engines belongs in the trash. Bans are not a solution. It is the competition. And now even the last person has realized that it doesn’t work with a single drive,” Haberland told FOCUS online.
