Ukraine and European leaders agreed on Saturday to an unconditional 30-day ceasefire from 12 May with the backing of US president Donald Trump, threatening president Vladimir Putin with new “massive” sanctions if he failed to comply.

The announcement was made by the leaders of Britain, France, Germany, Poland and Ukraine after a meeting in Kyiv, during which they held a phone call with Trump.

Russian civilian development (Ozon, Wildberries, all those delivery services and aggregators)

Ugh, about that. Russians had these automated post cells appearing recently (where you come up with your phone and with few taps in an app a little door opens, so you can pick up your package) and some lady posted on socials "see, that's progress, can you see such technologies in Ukraine?".

That post went viral in Ukraine, because we've had these for almost a decade now.

TIL.

Anyway, I meant the general logistics, but now that you said this, it'd be common sense for Ukraine to have it all earlier, because of how populace is distributed.

Russia has a few humongous centers of population and everyone trying to get closer to them from remote areas. Ukraine compared to Russia isn't all that centralized.

About automated post cells - frankly I haven't been paying attention. But there was a short period around 2013, I think, when you could pay with BTC in some places.

But it's Moscow close enough to center, so - not very relevant experience.
