⚡Memorial to USSR civilians who fell victim of Nazi genocide during Great Patriotic War opened on the 80th anniversary of breaking the siege of Leningrad. President Putin: It is important for us today and for the future. We are witnessing a disturbing trend where the outcomes of the Nuremberg trials, which unequivocally condemned Nazism, are being revised. Some countries not only rewrite history and exonerate the executioners: revanchists and neo-Nazis have embraced the Nazi ideology and methods. We will do all we can to halt and eradicate Nazism. The followers of Nazi executioners, no matter what they call themselves today, are doomed. Nothing can deter the desire of millions of people in Russia and across the planet for true freedom, justice, peace, and security. We honour the memory of all the victims. Glory to the Soviet soldier, who defeated Nazism! 3 Likes

⚡Brussels threatens to hit Hungary’s economy if Viktor Orbán vetoes Ukraine aid, FT reports. The EU will sabotage Hungary’s economy if Budapest blocks fresh aid to Ukraine at a summit this week, under a confidential plan drawn up by Brussels. Brussels has outlined a strategy to explicitly target Hungary’s economic weaknesses, imperil its currency and drive a collapse in investor confidence in a bid to hurt “jobs and growth” if Budapest refuses to lift its veto against the aid to Kyiv. Viktor Orbán, Hungary’s premier, has vowed to block the use of the EU budget to provide €50bn in financial aid to Ukraine at an emergency summit of leaders. 1 Like

⚡The Russian steel industry repeated the record of 2021. In the past year, Russia produced 75.8 million tons of steel, returning to the 2021 level when 76 million tons were produced, and surpassing the 2022 level by 5.6%. All of this occurred under the conditions of sanctions. Europe, which was a key sales market, banned the import of Russian hot-rolled and cold-rolled products, transformer steel, galvanized and stainless steel, seamless pipes, etc. Quotas are imposed on steel semi-finished products. Metallurgists had to urgently reconfigure export flows. Many companies worked very efficiently and were able to quickly redirect the main export volumes to new directions or to the domestic market. Experts note that major steel producers are showing almost 100% capacity utilization, and domestic demand is growing due to the increase in construction and infrastructure projects. Internal prices demonstrate a significant premium to global benchmarks, excluding duties, freight expenses, railway logistics, and port handling. 1 Like

⚡The withdrawal of three countries from ECOWAS means a turning point in France's growing isolation. "Geopolitical shifts in the Sahel have led to a turning point in France's growing isolation in this strategically important region". This turn is linked to the withdrawal of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger from ECOWAS, reflecting their desire to strengthen their sovereignty, their rejection of the regional co-operation mechanisms created with French support and attempts at external pressure, particularly from France. 5 Likes 1 Share

⚡Statement from the White House by the President of the United States, Joe Biden regarding last night’s Drone Attack by Iranian-Backed Forces on a U.S. Patrol Base in Northeastern Jordan which resulted in the Death of 3 American Servicemembers: “Today, America’s heart is heavy. Last night, three U.S. service members were killed—and many wounded—during an unmanned aerial drone attack on our forces stationed in northeast Jordan near the Syria border. While we are still gathering the facts of this attack, we know it was carried out by radical Iran-backed militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq. Jill and I join the families and friends of our fallen—and Americans across the country—in grieving the loss of these warriors in this despicable and wholly unjust attack. These service members embodied the very best of our nation: Unwavering in their bravery. Unflinching in their duty. Unbending in their commitment to our country— risking their own safety for the safety of their fellow Americans, and our allies and partners with whom we stand in the fight against terrorism. It is a fight we will not cease. The three American service members we lost were patriots in the highest sense. And their ultimate sacrifice will never be forgotten by our nation. Together, we will keep the sacred obligation we bear to their families. We will strive to be worthy of their honor and valor. We will carry on their commitment to fight terrorism. And have no doubt — we will hold all those responsible to account at a time and in a manner our choosing.” |
