Russia now controls at least $12.4 trillion worth of Ukraine's key natural resources, including energy and mineral deposits, according to an analysis for The Washington Post by SecDev.

If the Kremlin succeeds in annexing Ukrainian land seized during Russia's invasion, Kyiv would lose almost two-thirds of its deposits, the report said, denying the country of its essential economic pillars.

Based on SecDev's review of 2,209 deposits, Moscow controls 63% of Ukraine's coal, 11% of its oil, 20% of its natural gas, 42% of its metals, and 33% of its rare earths, including key minerals like lithium.

Some of that was seized during Russia's takeover of Crimea in 2014 or the war with Russia-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine.

But since its invasion began in February, Russia has steadily increased its advance into Ukraine while overtaking the country's economic strongholds.

Using a tally from SecDev and Ukrainian industry, the Washington Post reported that Russia has seized 41 coal fields, 27 natural gas sites, 14 propane sites, nine oil fields, six iron ore deposits, as well as several sites for titanium, zirconium, strontium, lithium, uranium, and gold.

While Ukraine is known as a top exporter of grains, the report said it also possesses 117 of the 120 most widely used minerals and metals, while also serving as a top source of fossil fuels.

Ukraine still has control over most of its oil ans gas reserves. But the vast majority of its natural resource wealth that's under the Kremlin's control is comprised of coal deposits.

SecDev estimated that about 30 billion tons of hard coal deposits worth $11.9 trillion are in Russian-controlled parts of Ukraine.

Moscow, SANA- A large US-made HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems and American M777 howitzers were destroyed in a Russian high-precision strike in the Dnepropetrovsk Region, Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman, Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov said on Saturday.

Konashenkov said that as a result of the Russian forces’ successful actions in Kharkov direction near Vernopol’e and Krasnopol’e, the losses of 30th Mechanized and 95th Airborne Assault Brigades of the Ukrainian forces amounted to over 200 servicemen

Units of 46th Airmobile Brigade of the Ukrainian forces have been defeated near Lozovoye, Kherson Region, after another attempt to stealthily cross the Ingulets River, he said.

The enemy suffered losses of over 130 fighters and 10 pieces of military equipment, he added.

Russian Aerospace Forces have shot down 1 Mig-29 aircraft of Ukrainian air force near Malinovka in Donetsk People’s Republic. In addition, 1 Buk-M1 surface-to-air missile launcher have been destroyed near Grigorovka

Russian air defence means have shot down 7 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles near Novogrigorovka in Donetsk People’s Republic, Andreevka, Glinskoye, Babenkovo, Khudoyarovo, Borshchovka in Kharkov Region and Berdyansk in Zaporozhye Region.

Konashenkov added that Kiev regime continues acts of “nuclear terrorism” at Zaporozhye nuclear power plant as artillery units of the Ukrainian armed forces shelled the station’s territory three times over the past 24 hours.

“A total of 17 shells were fired, 4 of which hit the roof of Special Building No 1, where 168 assemblies of US Westing House nuclear fuel are stored,” Konashenkov.

He noted that 10 more shells exploded 30 metres from the dry storage facility for spent nuclear fuel and 3 more exploded near Special Building No 2, which houses TVEL’s fresh nuclear fuel storage unit and solid radioactive waste storage facility.

He indicated Ukrainian artillery shelling of the nuclear power plant was carried out from Marganets area in Dniepropetrovsk Region. In course of counter-battery warfare in the area, 1 American M777 howitzer was discovered and destroyed.

He noted that Russian specialized military formation is guarding the outer perimeter of the station. There are no heavy weapons in the vicinity of the nuclear plant

At least 40 Ukrainian prisoners of war captured during the fighting for Mariupol have been killed by Ukrainian shelling, Russia-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine said.

Daniil Bezsonov, a spokesman for the Russia-backed separatists in the Donetsk region, said at least 40 Ukrainian prisoners of war were killed and 130 were injured Friday when Ukrainian shelling hit a prison in the town of Olenivka.

Russia's defense ministry said Ukraine used U.S.-made HIMARS rockets in the strike, according to the Reuters news agency. The ministry put the number of injured at 75, in addition to the 40 killed.

There was no immediate reaction from Ukrainian authorities to the claims.


The Ukrainian troops were taken prisoner after the fierce fighting for Ukraine's Azov Sea port of Mariupol, where they holed up at the giant Azovstal steel mill for months.


The Azov Regiment and other Ukrainian units defended the steel mill for nearly three months, clinging to its underground maze of tunnels. They surrendered in May under relentless Russian attacks from the ground, sea and air.

Scores of Ukrainian soldiers were then taken to prisons in Russian-controlled areas such as the Donetsk region, a breakaway area in eastern Ukraine that's run by Russia-backed separatist authorities.

Russia's attack on Ukraine continues, in the Donbas region
LONDON (Reuters) – Russian private military firm Wagner has likely made tactical advances in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine, British military intelligence said on Wednesday.
LONDON (Reuters) – Russian private military firm Wagner has likely made tactical advances in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine, British military intelligence said on Wednesday.

The advances were made around the Vuhlehirska Power Plant and the nearby village of Novoluhanske, the Ministry of Defence said on Twitter, adding that some Ukrainian forces have likely withdrawn from the area.

an hour ago
A recent UN report from the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has confirmed that the Ukrainian Army, as it battles Russian forces for control of the eastern Donbass region, is purposefully putting civilians in harm’s way as “human shields.”

In March, the Ukrainian government blamed Russian forces for the deaths of more than 50 elderly and disabled residents of a care home in the village of Stara Krasnyanka in the eastern province of Lugansk. According to Ukrainian officials, a fire broke out in the facility following a supposedly unprovoked attack on the innocents by Russian forces.

In reality—in a case the report found to be “emblematic” of the war—on March 7, days before the attack, Ukrainian forces had taken up positions within the care home “as it had strategic value due to its proximity to an important road.” Previous requests by the facility to local Ukrainian authorities to evacuate residents were denied due to the fact that Kiev had mined the surrounding area and blocked roads, thereby preventing anyone from fleeing.

Two days later on March 9, as Russian forces approached the care home, the two sides exchanged fire. “It remains unclear which side opened fire first,” states the OHCHR.

On March 11, 71 patients with disabilities and 15 staff remained in the facility with no access to electricity or water, despite the continued presence of Ukrainian forces. They apparently made no effort to evacuate them in the face of an impending battle. During the morning, Russian forces, clearly aware by this time of the presence of Ukrainian military within the building, attacked with “heavy weapons,” causing a fire to break out. Some staff and residents were able to flee to a nearby forest and were later “met by Russian affiliated armed groups, who provided them with assistance,” reports the OHCHR.

The section of the report on the case of Stara Krasnyanka concludes by stating, “According to various accounts, at least 22 patients survived the attack, but the exact number of persons killed remains unknown.”

As the UN document clearly demonstrates in the case of Stara Krasnyanka, it was the Ukrainian forces “who took up positions either in residential areas or near civilian objects, from where they launched military operations without taking measures for the protection of civilians present.” Such tactics are specifically prohibited by Article 28 of Geneva Convention IV and Article 51(7) of additional Protocol I and constitute a war crime.

But despite the role played by Kiev in these situations, civilian deaths in these contexts are described as the product of the “indiscriminate” violence of Russian “orcs.” They are widely publicized in Western corporate news outlets as further examples of an engrained Russian barbarity, which allegedly can only be prevented by sending billions more in weapons and aid to Ukraine’s government.

During the Russian siege of Mariupol, civilians accused Ukrainian forces from the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion of deliberately shooting at fleeing cars and kidnapping residents in order to have them serve as human shields while they bunkered within the Azovstal plant.

In May, Natalia Usmanova, a former employee of the Azovstal plant who had taken refuge there from the fighting with her children and her husband, told Germany’s Der Spiegel that Ukrainian forces had forbidden them from leaving and later hid behind the trapped Azovstal civilians as fighting broke out.

“They (Ukrainian soldiers and Azov fighters) kept us in the bunker. They hid behind the fact that they are supposedly concerned about our safety. They shouted at us (when we tried to escape) and said go back to the bunker!” Usmanova told Der Spiegel in a video that was later taken down. A full interview with Usmanova can still be viewed here on YouTube.

As of July 12, the UN’s OHCHR has recorded 5,024 killed and 6,520 injured during the course of the NATO-provoked war.

Kiev is currently preparing a counter-attack with newly supplied Western weapons in the country’s now occupied territories in the south and east. The Ukrainian government acknowledges that ordinary people are in harm’s way.

Speaking on national television this past week, Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk warned civilians in the Russian-occupied southern region of Kherson to evacuate or risk being killed by Ukrainian forces.

“It’s clear there will be fighting, there will be artillery shelling ... and we therefore urge (people) to evacuate urgently,” Vereshchuk said. She added, “I know for sure that there should not be women and children there, and that they should not become human shields,” making it clear that any deaths from US-supplied Ukrainian missiles and bombs will also be blamed on Russia.

For over eight years, starting in 2014 the NATO-backed governments of former President Petro Poroshenko and later Zelensky carried out a war against the separatist Donbass region. During the course of regular shelling and bombing , upwards of 14,000 people were killed. Both successive Ukrainian governments, with US and NATO support, brazenly refused to carry out the agreed-upon Minsk peace accords, which called for a negotiated settlement.

this useless organization is always tarnishing d image of igbos,

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu has ordered Russian military units operating in all areas of Ukraine to step up their operations in order to prevent strikes on eastern Ukraine and other territories controlled by Russia, the ministry said in a statement on its website on Saturday.

It said Shoigu "gave the necessary instructions to further increase the actions of groups in all operational areas in order to exclude the possibility of the Kyiv regime launching massive rocket and artillery strikes on civilian infrastructure and residents of settlements in Donbas and other regions."

Russia began to move heavy weapons and troops to Belarus, reports The Moscow Times, citing the monitoring group Belarusian Hajun.

On July 7, Minsk announced that it had handed over to the Russian military the Pribytki (Zyabrovka) airbase in the Gomel region. On the same day, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting with the leaders of the State Duma factions that the Russian armed forces "by and large have not yet seriously started anything."

On July 11, Belarusian Hajun discovered that Russian long-range radar detection and control system (AWACS) aircraft flew into the Belarusian airspace for the first time since April 4. In addition, flights of transport aircraft from Russia have become more frequent. Only in one day, on July 10, three Il-76s of the Russian Aerospace Forces with unidentified cargo arrived at the military airfield in Machulishchy.

In parallel with the visits of Russian military aircraft at five Belarusian airfields, air training has increased. The training takes place in Baranovichi, Machulishchy, Lida, Luninets and Bobruisk.

In Baranovichi, the Belarusian and Russian troops trained on drop operations from helicopters. About 20 Russian pilots also arrived at this airfield. The airborne forces also trained in Bobruisk, Machulishchi and the Yelsky district. Belarusian Hajun calls such training unusual. In Bobruisk, the exercises have already been held twice. Training flights became more frequent at Luninets and Lida airbases.

According to the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW), Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko will not risk directly interfering in the fighting in Ukraine because direct participation in the war may be dangerous for his regime. However, he is likely to continue to give the Russian armed forces access to his country's airspace to demonstrate loyalty to Vladimir Putin.

The organization BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) may add five more states to its composition, the newspaper Izvestia reported, citing a source.

According to the newspaper, in addition to Argentina and Iran, whose plans to join the group was already known, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt may join.

President of the BRICS International Forum Purnima Anand confirmed this information to Izvestia. According to her, the issue was raised during the organization's summit, which took place in late June.

Anand said that all these countries have shown their interest in joining and are preparing to apply for membership.

As noted by the BRICS president, at a future summit of the group in South Africa, the question of including Iran, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Egypt or Turkey may be raised. The meeting should take place in 2023, while the exact dates are not yet known.

She expressed hope that the accession of countries to the BRICS will happen very quickly, because now all the representatives of the nucleus of the association are interested in expanding.

Thousands of Ukrainian soldiers are now being considered missing in action, with some believed to have been captured by Russian troops amid the war, an official in Ukraine said Monday.

Oleh Kotenko, the commissioner for people missing under special circumstances, said at least 7,200 Ukrainian servicemen under the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Guard, Border Guard and the Security Service of Ukraine are currently missing in action. Kotenko added that most of the missing soldiers have been taken prisoner by Russian forces.

It's like there is a news blackout

KYIV (Reuters) - Ukraine's heavy artillery is outnumbered roughly eight to one by Russian guns, putting Ukraine at a significant disadvantage, a spokesman for Ukraine's International Legion said on Monday.

Damien Magrou, spokesman for the unit comprising foreign nationals, told a briefing in Kyiv that more arms from Ukraine's Western partners were needed to close the gap.

"We're entering a phase of the war where our disadvantage to the Russian forces in terms of heavy weaponry and artillery is very much being felt," Magrou said.

The 9 most powerful nuclear weapon explosions
By Owen Jarus published March 11, 2022

They are all more powerful than the bombs used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of WWII

Ivy Mike was the first "true" hydrogen bomb tested by the United States. This 10.4 megaton explosion obliterated Elugelab, the island it was detonated on in the Eniwetok Atoll.

The United States and Russia now have thousands of nuclear weapons each, with China, France, the United Kingdom, India, Pakistan, North Korea and Israel also having nukes. The ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine has sparked fears that such nuclear weapons could end up being used.

Here, Live Science takes a look at the most powerful nuclear weapons ever detonated — specifically explosions that exceeded 10 megatons. In comparison, estimates for the Hiroshima bomb are around 15 kilotons. Documents from the U.S. Department of Energy and the Russian Federation's Ministry of Defense revealed plenty of high-energy blasts. Even so, there are a number of nuclear weapon detonations whose yields are uncertain, so only those detonations whose yields are known with confidence are included here. All of these behemoth blasts are many times more powerful than those that were used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II.

TSAR BOMBA



On Oct. 30, 1961, the Soviet Union dropped the most powerful nuclear weapon ever exploded on the archipelago of Novaya Zemlya, north of the arctic circle. Yielding an explosion of 50 megatons the "Tsar Bomba," as it is sometimes called, was about 3,300 times more powerful than the 15 kilotons nuclear weapon dropped on Hiroshima. The hydrogen bomb, designated as the Soviet RDS-220, was also dubbed "Big Ivan" and "Vanya," though "Tsar Bomba" (translated to King of Bombs) is its most popular moniker.

Ironically, the bomb could have been much more powerful. It was designed to have an explosive yield of up to 100 megatons, but it was detonated at 50 megatons, wrote Alex Wellerstein, director of the Science and Technology Studies program at the Stevens Institute of Technology, in an article published in 2021 on the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists website. The fireball from the explosion was nearly 6 miles (9.7 km) in diameter, which is "large enough to include the entire urban core of Washington or San Francisco, or all of midtown and downtown Manhattan," wrote Wellerstein.

TEST 219

On Dec. 24, 1962, the Soviet Union dropped a rather unpleasant Christmas present over the test site on the Novaya Zemlya archipelago — which holds the second largest glacier complex in the Arctic, according to a paper published in 2021 in the journal Nature(opens in new tab). At 24.2 megatons, this nuclear bomb was less than half as powerful as the "Tsar Bomba" bomb but was still the second most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated. It also about 1,600 times stronger than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

Because it was the second most powerful nuclear weapon, it didn't get a catchy nickname like the "Tsar Bomba" did; it is simply referred to as "test 219." Test 219 would be one of the last nuclear bombs dropped from the air by the Soviet Union, as a test ban treaty in 1963 banned aboveground testing and future tests were conducted underground.

TEST 147
On Aug. 5, 1962, the Soviet Union dropped a 21.1 megaton over the Novaya Zemlya archipelago (which is part of the Russian Arctic). The third most powerful nuclear detonation in history, it is simply known as "test 147," again not acquiring a nickname like the "Tsar Bomba" did.

This bomb clocks in as being about 1,400 times as powerful as the one dropped on Hiroshima. Despite its immense power this nuclear detonation is not as well known as others on this list.

According to the site Nukemap(opens in new tab), a nuclear weapon like this that was airburst over Central Park, in New York City, would produce a fireball that would cover all of the park and produce an intense wave of thermal radiation that would cover all of the city and reach as far away as Stamford, New York. Nukemap was created by Alex Wellerstein.

TEST 173

On Sept. 25, 1962, the Soviet Union dropped a 19.1 megaton nuke over the Novaya Zemlya archipelago. The fourth most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated it is about 1,270 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb. Known simply as "test 173" this bomb never got a nickname.

An interesting note — a few weeks after this bomb was dropped the Cuban Missile Crisis began — a crisis that brought the Soviet Union and United States to the brink of nuclear war. During the crisis the Soviet Union deployed nuclear missiles to Cuba. President Kennedy considered attacking the sites and ultimately ordered a naval blockade to prevent more nuclear weapons from reaching Cuba. The Soviet Union eventually agreed to take down the missiles in exchange for the United States removing their nuclear missiles from Turkey.

CASTLE BRAVO


On March 1, 1954 the United States detonated a 15 megaton nuclear weapon on the Bikini Atoll, in the Marshall Islands, in a test codenamed "Castle Bravo." It was detonated on the surface rather than being dropped by air and is the fifth most powerful nuclear weapon detonation in history.

The yield was about two and half times greater than expected and resulted in nuclear fallout spreading for about 7,000 square miles (18,130 square kilometers) across the Pacific, leaving residents of the Marshall Islands, U.S. military personnel and the crew of a Japanese fishing trawler exposed to a high level of radiation, according to an article published in 2017 by the Atomic Heritage Foundation. Some residents had to be evacuated, and the people of the Marshall Islands suffered an elevated rate of cancer.

The Castle Bravo test, and the harm done to the residents, triggered global protests against the testing of nuclear bombs. In future decades, the U.S. government paid compensation to island residents; retired U.S. military personnel launched a case against the government in 1984, alleging that the American government had downplayed the radiation danger.

CASTLE YANKEE

On May 5, 1954, another nuclear weapon was detonated on a barge beside the Bikini Atoll. The "Castle Yankee" test resulted in a yield of 13.5 megatons. It is the sixth most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated in history, being about 900 times more powerful than the one dropped on Hiroshima. In the years that followed, global pressure would mount for a ban on nuclear tests to come into place.

The Bikini Atoll is a coral reef that surrounds a lagoon. Prior to nuclear testing, people lived on the atoll. The population was removed before the tests and has never been able to return because the atoll is still contaminated with remains from the radioactive fallout.

TEST 123
On Oct. 23, 1961, the Soviet Union dropped a 12.5 megaton bomb on the Novaya Zemlya archipelago, about 830 times as powerful as the Hiroshima bomb. It is the seventh most powerful nuclear weapon detonated in history. Known as "test 123," it was a prelude to the "Tsar Bomba," which would be dropped in the same area just a week later.

On March 26, 1954, a nuclear weapon was detonated on a barge off the Bikini Atoll. It yielded an 11 megaton nuclear explosion that was about 730 times as powerful as the Hiroshima bomb. Codenamed "Castle Romeo," the test was carried out just a few weeks after the Castle Bravo test that had spread radioactive fallout across the Marshall Islands.

According to Nukemap, a nuclear weapon of this intensity airburst over New York City's Central Park would produce a fireball that would cover the park and a wave of intense thermal radiation that would extend as far as Port Chester.

IVY MIKE
Detonation of Nuclear Device "Ivy Mike" During Operation Ivy.


On Nov. 1, 1952, "Ivy Mike" or "Mike," would become the first thermonuclear weapon (hydrogen bomb) to be fully detonated — yielding a 10.4 megaton explosion, about 690 times the size of the Hiroshima bomb. It was detonated on the surface of the Enewetak atoll on the Marshall Islands. At the time it was detonated, the Korean War was raging and a nuclear arms race had developed between the United States and Soviet Union.

Whether to develop the hydrogen bomb was a subject of debate within the Truman administration, with some officials pushing against it and others pushing for it, an article on the Atomic Heritage Foundation website noted(opens in new tab), with president Truman ultimately deciding to build it.

Don't believe or trust Americans , they are masters in mind games.

US keep developing dangerous weapons without announcing or making details public.

Remember US annual defence budget is $750m annually while that of Russia is $56m , so what do you think America do with $750m defence budget annually ? Yeah building unclassified weapons.

Till this day no one knows the bomb US used in Hiroshima, not even the Russians can tell.

hahaha lolz, Germans were d first to bring d idea of atomic bomb, and they were already working on how to develope it before allies through a Jewish scientist developed it ok, finally dat atomic bomb is just 4megaton bomb and no longer in USA arsenal, what we have now is THERMONUCLEAR DEVICE aka Hydrogen bomb which cand be delivered through various means, such as ICBM,Submarine and bombers, Nobody will win a THERMONUCLEAR war since ICBM has no defence because it used to travel all over the world than normal missile, atomic bomb of 4 megaton ravaged two japanese cities imagine what THERMONUCLEAR device of 50 megaton which russia possess over 6,000 will do, A thermonuclear bomb differs fundamentally from an atomic bomb in that it utilizes the energy released when two light atomic nuclei combine, or fuse, to form a heavier nucleus. An atomic bomb, by contrast, uses the energy released when a heavy atomic nucleus splits, or fissions, into two lighter nuclei.

Fission weapons are commonly referred to as atomic bombs. Fusion weapons are also referred to as thermonuclear bombs or, more commonly, hydrogen bombs; they are usually defined as nuclear weapons in which at least a portion of the energy is released by nuclear fusion.
The bombings in the two cities were so devastating, they forced Japan to surrender. But a hydrogen bomb has the potential to be 1,000 times more powerful than an atomic bomb, according to several nuclear experts.
