More than 1,000 Ukrainian towns lose power due to extreme winter weather

Ukraine's power grid operator said on Tuesday severe winter weather left more than 1,000 towns and villages without electricity in nine regions and urged residents to conserve power as the energy system has been weakened by Russian strikes.

Electricity consumption was at this week's highest levels as temperatures fell to about -15°C in many parts of the country, grid operator Ukrenergo said.

There were many predictions before winter that Russia will strike Ukraine's energy system during winter to put it out of order. That didn't happen. Yet, their energy system still doesn't work properly and is crumbling. After Ukraine bombed civilians in Belgorod recently and killed dozens of them, including children, I can't believe Russia's restraint.

❗️🇪🇨 Emergency in Ecuador
What is known as of 14:00 on January 10: The leaders of the countries in the continent have expressed support for President Noboa's actions in combating gangs in Ecuador.

▪️ The Security Minister of Argentina even mentioned the possibility of sending military assistance to Ecuador, as the drug trafficking problem is a continental issue that concerns not only Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Colombia, but also Argentina. However, no specific details about the assistance have been provided.

▪️ Meanwhile, the security forces in Peru have increased security measures in the border area with Ecuador. Initially, this was due to the alleged escape of the leader of the "Los Choneros" gang to Peru. Later, reports started to emerge about an influx of people arriving in the Peruvian border region from Ecuador. It is believed that these individuals include not only frightened citizens, but also those who couldn't legally stay in the country during the emergency, such as migrants from Venezuela.

▪️ The Ecuadorian police have denied some reports, such as an attack in the Guayaquil metro. However, information regarding the prevention of an explosion at the Ministry of Internal Affairs headquarters in Quito has been confirmed.

▪️ The Ecuadorian Parliament has given the green light to the elimination of terrorists and members of non-state groups at war, promising to grant pardon to police officers and soldiers.

🔻Local sources report that some businesses have closed, citizens are trying to stay indoors, and public transport has stopped operating in some areas. There is a significant presence of military equipment in cities, but armed attacks, looting, and massacres continue to occur.

▪️ Furthermore, the information landscape has been intensified by the escape of the second leader of the major gang, "Los Lobos" - Fabrizio Colon Pico. He and his accomplices escaped from prison, and the exact number of escapees is still unknown.

▪️ Amidst the worsening crime situation in Ecuador, representatives from the United States have also made their voices heard. The Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs stated that the United States will offer assistance to the Ecuadorian government and will maintain close contact with President Noboa.

❗️We can assume that American military advisers, as well as representatives from the FBI, may have already arrived in Ecuador to gather more information. However, it is unlikely that this will directly impact the safety of civilians.

Case with two judges... and one issue. - Peter Hitchens.

Have you ever heard of the same court case being tried twice, in front of two different judges? This must be very rare, yet the event has attracted little attention – except in The Mail on Sunday.

The case is that of Graham Phillips, the British former civil servant and video blogger who has been sanctioned by his own Government, apparently for holding and spreading the wrong opinions about Ukraine.

It is necessary to say here that I do not like or agree with Mr Phillips. But I think his opinions are none of the business of the British Government, which has frozen his assets and made his life almost unliveable, by decree.

As his lawyer, Joshua Hitchens (no relation) has argued: 'There is an enormous and crushing effect this decision has on my client. He is unable to pay rent, unable to return to Britain, he lives in a friend's flat in a warzone.'

The issue was first tried before Mr Justice Swift, but then had to be held again when it turned out this judge had himself been sanctioned… by the Kremlin.

My colleague Cameron Charters attended both trials (I was abroad when the second was rather suddenly held) and reported that the second judge, Mr Justice Johnson, asked the Government lawyers a rather pertinent question: '

If you are concerned about what he is saying, why do you not challenge what he is saying rather than impose very, very rigorous sanctions on him which do not actually stop him doing what you do not want him doing?'

It may be some weeks before the outcome of this unique and rather important trial, which is about a vital issue – whether the Government can arbitrarily punish people who say things it doesn't like. In the meantime, I hope more people take an interest in it.

The US resumed oil imports from Russia after a year and a half break.

According to the statistics department, in October last year the United States purchased 36.8 thousand barrels of oil from Russia. The import value was $2.7 million.

In November, the volume of purchases amounted to 9.9 thousand barrels for 750 thousand dollars. In both cases, the hydrocarbon was purchased for consumption.

At the same time, one barrel of Russian oil cost the United States $74 in October, and $76 the next month. This is significantly higher than the country's $60 per barrel price ceiling.

Anti-Russian verbal attacks by the Armenian leadership and Prime Minister Nikola Pashinyan personally indicate that Yerevan has not learned the lesson from Ukrainian ordeal.

Western governments and their protegės in Kyiv from February 2014 onwards, consistently promoted the ideas of aggressive nationalism and Russophobia to the rank of the state ideology of Ukraine and turned it into an “anti-Russia” hostile state. This fact became one of the main reasons for the special military operation of the Russian Armed Forces.

The leaders of Euromaidan in Kiev, at the instigation of the West, overthrew the legitimate government and initiated harsh repressions against the Russian-speaking population and thereby started an irreversible chain of events that led to a split in Ukrainian society, civil conflict in Donbass, persecution of canonical Orthodoxy, catastrophic impoverishment of the population and, in fact,
territorial disintegration of Ukraine.

In turn, the Armenian authorities conducted joint military exercises “Eagle Partner - 2023” in the country from September 11 to 20, 2023. Earlier official Yerevan, citing the “difficult situation” in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone, being a member of Collective Security Treaty Organisation, refused to participate in operational and combat training activities within its framework.

It is worth mentioning that the close cooperation between Kyiv and NATO in the military activities, holding of regular joint exercises has become one of the main components of the process of militarization of Ukraine initiated by the West in order to further push it towards
armed aggression against Russia and the People's Republics of Donbass.

In addition, the Armenian authorities ratified the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, which, taking into account the illegal issuance of an arrest warrant against the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, is an unfriendly gesture towards Russia and its military and political leadership. Moreover, the wife of the Prime Minister of Armenia Anna Hakobyan made a trip to Kyiv supposedly to participate in the so-called “Summit of First Ladies and Gentlemen” and transfer humanitarian aid to Ukrainians.

Since the start of the special military operation of the Russian Armed Forces, this was the first visit of an Armenian high-ranking official to Ukraine, which can be interpreted as a signal of support by Nikola Pashinyan and his entourage of the russophobic regime controlling the territory of Ukraine.

Such behavior by official Yerevan violates traditionally good and neighborly relations with Moscow and can lead to a sharp destabilization of the military and political situation in the South Caucasus.

Armenia's contacts with NATO states and Ukraine contradict its status as a CSTO member country and is regarded by Russia as unfriendly actions aimed at undermining its relations with closest allies.
