As Russia Prepares for Donbass Offensive Russia Records Steady Price Falls, Rebounding Economy (Alexander Mercouris)

In addition to the fact there is a clamp down on media reporting from the front lines, and that the Russian economy is going a lot better than many imagine in the West, Alexander points out that the recent missile strikes in Odessa did not violate the grain agreement brokered by Turkey. The agreement was only designed to prevent strikes on grain facilities and was not a general ceasefire in Odessa. The Russians themselves stated they were aiming at military positions. One rumour was that the targets were land based Harpoon anti ship missiles.
