Russia's Uralvogonzavod shuts down production. It will no longer be able to assemble any of T-72 tank (main RU tank) or newer T-90 & T-14 tanks (Armata). Reason: lack of imported components. It means more saved UA lives, is direct result of Western sanctions which should continue

February 24. Ukrainians are googling how to make Molotov cocktail. September 21. Russians are googling how to leave the country and how to get out of the army. That’s the difference.
