1. Paypal said (at least reported at 9:00 AM today in Germany) that it's wrapping up use in Russia.
2. Retired German general Egon Ramms gave an interview to ARD this morning (German public TV), and basically said that morale among Russian troops is dipping. A number of reports indicate troops have dropped out of the invasion, and started hiking north....back into Russia. Numbers? Unknown. BS-factor? I'd give a '5'....you can't document any of this....there might be 500 of them doing this....there might be 5,000 doing this.
3. More chatter from the EU this morning....discussions over cutting Russian oil/natural gas purchases. BS-factor? Probably a '8'.....they can't source alternate pathways for what they need.
4. CNN reports 1,000 Russian mercenaries to be sent into the Ukraine in the next 'days and weeks'. BS-factor? Probably a '8-plus' situation.
5. Some stations putting E-10 fuel in Germany at 2.02 Euro per liter. Unless something happens....by the end of the month, I would anticipate E-10 to be near 2.20 Euro.
