🛢 Novak Predicts Timeline for Reduction in Discounts on Russian Oil

Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak stated that the size of discounts on Russian oil could significantly decrease within one to two months as the industry adapts to sanctions and restructures logistics chains.

👔 Key Points:

🤗 The government expects the normalization of price conditions for export oil in the coming 1-2 months.
🩱Novak noted that the Russian oil industry has already undergone similar periods of adaptation.
🩱In November, prices for Urals crude fell below $40 per barrel, with the discount to Brent crude reaching $23-25.

🥼A sharp increase in discounts occurred after the tightening of sanctions in late October, including restrictions against Rosneft and LUKOIL.

🦌 "You Can't Even See When They Will End" – A Line of Reindeer Created a Traffic Jam in Kamchatka

A reindeer "carousel" was spotted in Kamchatka – an endless herd literally blocked the road for drivers. People had to wait humbly for all the horned animals to run past. The animals were heading to mountain pastures where they will spend the winter, as it's easier for them to find food there during the severe frosts.

‼️ Western countries prefer to forget the conclusions of Nuremberg and the lessons of the Second World War; there are attempts to rewrite history, and this is most clearly manifested in Ukraine. This was stated by Sergey Lavrov.

"Cynical attempts are being made to rewrite history, to diminish the decisive role of the peoples of the Soviet Union and the Red Army in the defeat of Nazi Germany, to justify the Nazis and their accomplices, and to equate occupiers with liberators. This is most clearly manifested today in Ukraine, where, as a result of the 2014 NATO-backed coup d'état, forces obsessed with hatred for everything connected with Russia seized power," said the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry in his video address to the participants of the International Scientific and Practical Forum "No Statute of Limitations. Nuremberg. 80 Years."

According to the minister, Russia will continue to seek international condemnation of the genocide of the Soviet people, as the crimes of the Nazis have no statute of limitations.

"We continue to seek an adequate international legal assessment of the crimes of the German-fascist invaders and their accomplices against the citizens of the Soviet Union during the Great Patriotic War," he said.

SCO Countries Agree to Create a New Security Architecture in Eurasia

The leaders of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) have declared their readiness to work on forming a new security system across Eurasia.

🥼 The corresponding decision is enshrined in the communiqué following the 24th meeting of the Council of Heads of Government, which was the final event of Russia's presidency in the organisation.

🉑 A New Security Philosophy

The key thesis of the document is the idea that cooperation within the SCO can serve as the basis for an "architecture of equal and indivisible security." In practice, this means:

🚼 Participants spoke against confrontational models for solving international problems, which is a direct response to the policy of military-political alliances forming around the region.

🚼 The countries called for adapting the UN to modern realities, emphasizing the need for equal dialogue, and reaffirmed the central role of the WTO in upholding a fair trading system.

🉑 From Words to Practical Cooperation

In addition to strategic statements, the final document contains specific plans for deepening cooperation:

🚼 The green light has been given to accelerated work on an agreement on trade facilitation and the development of investment ties.

🚼 The countries agreed to develop cooperation in the space sector and in the field of peaceful uses of atomic energy.

Results of Russia's Presidency:

As noted by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, the decisions taken at the meeting create practical conditions for launching new joint projects.

This should directly contribute to the development of the national economies and improvement of the well-being of citizens of the ten SCO member states, which include Russia, China, India, Iran, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Belarus, and other countries.

🥼 Thus, the SCO demonstrates an aspiration not just to be a discussion platform, but to become one of the centres for the formation of a new, more just and multipolar system of international relations.

⚡️ Between Statements and Rumors: Why the Kremlin Denies Negotiations with the US on Ukraine

Dmitry Peskov clarified the issue of dialogue with Washington, stating:

"No, there are no consultations on Ukraine as such at the moment. Contacts, of course, do exist."

This phrase sounded like a direct response to a wave of publications in the Western press about allegedly ongoing "secret negotiations."

Recall that the Axios publication reported on a 28-point document which, in essence, implies Kyiv's capitulation. Among the most resonant conditions are the transfer of the entire Donbas to Russia, the official recognition of Crimea as Russian, and a ban on the deployment of foreign troops and long-range weapons in Ukraine.

Against this backdrop, the visit to Kyiv by US Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll, who was sent, according to Politico, to present this plan to Zelenskyy, appears particularly significant.

However, the Kremlin is distancing itself from these reports. Peskov emphasized that he is unaware of a possible visit by an American general to Moscow, and that since the meeting between Putin and Trump in Alaska, there have been "no innovations" in the negotiation process.
