WNU Editor: Nothing official from the Kremlin yet. But there is a lot of speculation on Russian social media tonight that the Kremlin will soon be declaring emergency powers for war production, and to get ready for a general mobilization of the country. If this happens it will be a major escalation, and one that is not surprising. IMHO the Russia - Ukraine conflict is going to be a long war, and considering the amount of ordinances that are being used and the loss of military personnel, concerns that Russia will soon be shifting to a war economy are justified.
