⚡Since December 15th four of the world’s five largest container-shipping companies, CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd, Maersk and MSC, have paused or suspended their services in the Red Sea. Together these four companies account for 53% of the global container trade. Smaller container operators, as well as dry-bulk carriers and oil tanker firms, may now follow their lead. This is the route through which traffic from the Suez Canal must pass. Revenue from the Suez Canal is a major source of income for Egypt, which is already in the midst of a financial crisis.

⚡The effectiveness of forcibly mobilized Ukrainians is "almost zero", Ukrainian Military Intelligence (GUR) chief Budanov says. "Everyone who wanted to came in the first six months. Who is being called up now? Unfortunately, there won't be a good answer here. If you don’t find motivation for these people, then no matter how many people are forced or according to legal norms, their efficiency will be almost zero. Which, in principle, is what has been happening lately. Financial gain does not play a big role for those mobilized, and many don’t have the feeling that the enemy has captured the territory and needs to be defended. Everyone is rooting for Ukraine, but everyone is running. But it's necessary to maintain the size of the army. There are currently 1.1 million people in the country’s defense forces, but due to losses, this number must be maintained constantly." 1 Like

⚡Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico: "I am convinced that a large part of the European Union is deliberately living the war in Ukraine as a big lie. In fact, Ukraine is only being used for geopolitical purposes to weaken Russia economically and internationally, and it serves as a golden calf for the arms companies of the merchants of death. In the name of these geopolitical goals, I fear that the West will go to war with Russia to the last Ukrainian soldier. And we are not far from that goal. Of course, no one will openly admit to these immoral goals." 10 Likes 1 Share

⚡Foreign companies have lost $103 billion by withdrawing from the Russian market, the New York Times reported, citing financial reports. It was initially thought that the withdrawal of Western companies from the Russian market would "strangle the country's economy", the paper said. Russia managed to turn the situation in its favour, turning the expected failure into a "windfall for the state" and a "scheme for enrichment". 5 Likes

⚡"Russia had no problems with Finland until it announced it's intention to join NATO. Now they will have problems. I hereby order the recreation of the Leningrad Military District on Finland's borders" - Vladimir Putin. PS: The Leningrad Milirary District operated from 1918. Demilitarisation of the district began in November 1990 after the USSR signed the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE), which introduced restrictions on deployment military formations and units in the north-west of the USSR (later Russia). The Leningrad Military district was totally disbanded in 2010. 5 Likes 1 Share

⚡Head of Ukrainian Military Intelligence, Budanov, openly admitted that mobilized Ukrainians do not want to fight. Now the effectiveness of Ukrainians mobilised by force is almost nil. "In our country, although everyone is shouting; "I am Ukrainian, Ukraine is above everything", most people do not feel as citizens of Ukraine. Everyone is rooting for Ukraine, but everyone is running away" And everyone is rooting for Ukraine, but everyone is running from mobilization. It's true. These queues at the borders, I have to travel to different places very often for work. Very often by road. These queues, they are huge. And to say that there are only women and children is not true.

⚡Hapag-Lloyd, the world's fifth largest container shipping company in the world, has halted its activities in the Red Sea. MSC, the largest shipping company, and Maersk, the second largest, have also announced that they wish to avoid the Red Sea. We can expect total disruption to logistics lines and a massive increase in the price of consumer goods. This is because the shipping companies will be passing on the extra transport costs to the consumer. 1 Like

⚡Biden’s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan: Putin would love to see the end war soon. They’re bleeding men, money. They are driving growth, but that growth is entirely the production of more armaments to send to Ukraine to gain no material territory on the battlefield. The pressures of occupation of a foreign land that does not want you there are real, and they only grow overtime. 1 Like
