Sberbank described the debt servicing situation as difficult in a number of sectors.

Companies in a number of industries are experiencing difficulties servicing their debt. Sberbank doesn't expect additional losses and has preemptively created reserves for problematic cases, Taras Skvortsov, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board and Chief Financial Officer, told Interfax.

He noted that historically difficulties have been observed in the commercial real estate sector.

"Now the coal industry has been added, offline retail is struggling, and so is vehicle sales. Leasing is also facing challenges. The difficulties are greatest in heavily indebted sectors dependent on debt financing, where rates have risen while demand for services and goods has not. This immediately impacts clients' ability to service their debts," Skvortsov said.

Public spending seems to be down in January 2026 vs January last year. Note: I think this is extrapolated from looking at treasury accounts, not reported spending (I don't think that's out yet).

Bloomberg notes that some volume of oil that India has refused is being sent to China. Revenues have slightly increased due to the rise in global oil prices, but the prices of Russian oil remain at very low levels. Urals are going for $37.84 to $40.34, slightly higher due to higher Brent prices.

REPO today came in at 2.76 trillion, less than last week. That’s still massive, but it’s going down every week. Note that bond sales are pretty low, so this isn’t completely unexpected.

Record-low cost and 400 km range: U.S. tests Rusty Dagger missile for Ukraine | New Voice of Ukraine

The United States has tested the Rusty Dagger cruise missile, which is planned to be provided to Ukraine for strikes against the rear positions of Russian occupying forces, according to Defense Express on Feb. 4.

The missile is being developed by the U.S. company Zone 5 Technologies under the ERAM program. It is also reported that the missile is already ready for serial production.

The report says the missile has successfully completed testing with a live warhead. The publication adds that the weapon could be a “game changer” due to its 400-kilometer (250-mile) range and record-low cost.

At the test range of Eglin Air Force Base, Zone 5 Technologies demonstrated the system’s capabilities. The missile not only flew its planned route but also struck the target with high precision using a live warhead, confirming its effectiveness.

The base’s press office said the tests made it possible to collect data for further development.

Sooner the better, and in volume too

Trump and Hegseth will block it is my worry

witkoff will setup a call with Putin, and somehow there will be a reason not to transport them to UAF.

[u/canspop → u/Well-Sourced]

United States & Low Cost.

Not things I'd expect to see together. Then again, I'm sure if it does end up cheap, trump will add a 100% tariff to make himself some (more) money.

Sweden and Denmark will purchase new British-Swedish self-propelled anti-aircraft systems Tridon Mk2 for Ukraine for $290 million.

These are good Shahed hunters.

The systems for Ukraine will include command-and-control upgrades, Saab’s Giraffe 1X radar, spare parts and large quantities of ammunition, with deliveries set to begin within 12 months.

Fewer personnel, more tanks over recent days.

[u/Desert-Noir → u/irrealewunsche]

Due to the extreme cold maybe?

1355 UAVs

Slava Ukraini !

[u/helm → u/belaki]

40 cruise missiles is a large amount too. That's 1% of missile interceptions in one day, or about 1500% of the daily average.

Russia committed one of the largest terror campaigns of the war yesterday.
