From the article (members only but the link should work for non-members):
Russia embarked on this war to upend and rewrite a global and regional security order which it believed denied Russia its rightful place as a global great power. ...The invasion revealed a Russian military dramatically less capable than even its skeptics seemed to have imagined and compounded the toxic stew of grievance and national humiliation which drove the effort in the first place.
Russia’s failure is acting as a feedback loop. Full-on nuclear war may not be be imminent, but it’s possible formal declaration of war and a general call-up are. Victory Day, May 9th, will be a critical date to watch.

Sure, I know, and the Quebecois pronunciation of Poutine is the same as the English pronunciation of Putin, but we’re not speaking french here.

It seems very out of character for Switzerland to object to providing arms-length services to a combatant. Do they only do that for paying customers?
edit: in less of a departure from tradition; apparently providing financial services barely distinguishable from embargo circumvention is on the table; even if autocannon shells are just a step too far…

As intelligent as dolphins are, they’re probably just playing along for all the free fish.

Brazil is supplying the ammunition… IIRC, the thing that makes the gepard a gepard was the swiss built 35mm cannon, so this was a big deal.
Brazil will provide 300,000 shells for the German Gepard in Ukraine - Militarnyi
