TheVoiceOfJoyce Why is the city of Bakhmut so important to Russia, that they’re pouring manpower into this battle? According to The Economist, Russia is losing it’s population. Many of their intellectuals, 500,000 to a million people have left Russia. With Russian men dying, there are 10 women for every man. With the Russian population down to 145 million , why is Putin persisting and losing men in battle? Are the Southern Ukrainian territories protected? On a positive note, Ukrainian crops are ready for shipment and awaiting a new safe transport agreement. Germany is pushing for peace negotiations. The war will not end favorably for Putin.

In the Amundsen Sea, a lack of ice replacement, exposes shorelines to waves which can erode the Antarctic coastline.
