1. Bloomberg Yesterday

"New York and much of the East Coast are at risk of a gasoline shortage this summer as the European Union’s ban of Russian fuel threatens to choke off the backup supplies the US relies on during peak driving season."

2. Bloomberg Today

"New York is buying an unusually large amount of gasoline and diesel from India — a country that has become a top outlet for sanctioned Russian oil.

About 89,000 barrels per day of Indian gasoline and diesel will reach New York this month, the most in nearly four years. This accounts for more than 40% of the region’s total imports for January, according to Kpler data compiled by Bloomberg. That’s a jump from an average of 5% last year."

🇺🇦🇱🇻Ukrainians in Latvia aren't privileged refugees any more, but the strangers, who must either be driven out or assimilated.🇺🇦🇱🇻

Let's give a good example of the ubiquitous Latvian xenophobia.

Anna, a Ukrainian woman who moved to Latvia, a philologist and teacher at the Kyiv Slavic University, asked on social networks how her child could go to first grade and speak Latvian there if he does not know Latvian at all.

And they answer her in Latvian:

"Please stop thinking that Latvia is a Russian province and asking for a special status for education in a foreign language."

That's not all. Anna from Ukraine is asked not only to learn Latvian, but also to "de-Russify".

If German saboteurs were caught in USSR during WW2 because of the wrong type of the paper staples they used in the documents (otherwise flawless), then Ukrainian saboteurs were caught because they were wearing NATO boots.

Locals were confused by strangers who hitched a ride. A battered Russian uniform, military tickets, domestic machine guns decorated with a tricolor, but the boots are NATO.

The unknown were disarmed by the DPR fighters and detained until all the circumstances were clarified.

"We are at war in Europe, we need to switch to martial law. We are participating in this, we have mobilized our procurement processes, we are transferring equipment [to Ukraine].

We need to meet face to face with Russia directly, and not leave Ukraine to do all the work,"

Polish farmers block roads on the border with Ukraine, blocking grain supplies

Polish farmers have blocked checkpoints on the border with Ukraine, protesting against the import of grain, according to Tygodnik Zamojski.
In particular, the border crossing in Khrebenny was blocked.
The publication publishes photos from the checkpoint, which show that farmers blocked the road with tractors. They unfurled the slogans "Polish products are healthy, technical grain is a symbol of lies and perversity of those in power."
Farmers plan to protest until midnight.
Earlier, a number of Polish organizations uniting farmers, in particular Agrounia, protested against Ukrainian grain. As the company explained, agricultural products intended for export are imported to Poland, but they settle in the republic. At the same time, according to organizations, the grain is of inadequate quality. According to official data from the Polish side, over the past year, about two million tons of grain were imported to Poland from Ukraine.

Russia and Iran just connected all their banks.

52 Iranian banks under SEPAM and 106 Russian banks under SPFS can now talk to each other

We are seeing the birth of a new system where US sanctions won’t work


IRAN AND RUSSIA LINK THEIR BANKS IN NEW DEAL

The central banks of #Russia and #Iran have signed a deal to connect national #interbank communication and transfer systems to spur trade and facilitate transactions.
 
Circumventing #sanctions:
According to officials from Iran’s central bank, the deal is a big step forward in implementing countermeasures against banking sanctions applied to Iran and Russia.

The two local interbank systems cannot be sanctioned and their infrastructures are not controlled by other governments.

The contract is the first step outlined in the join action plan of banking cooperation signed in 2022 by the two central banks.

This will pave the way for all Iranian banks to interact with Russian lenders.
Representatives from the Russian side stated that their interest lies in enhancing ties with Iran’s banks, noting that the agreement will help promote bilateral trade.

Trade between Russia and Iran surged by 15% in 2022, reaching USD 4.6 billion, as per Russian government officials.

The two countries are taking big steps to build mutual trade.

It is important for them to use settlements in national currencies more actively.

Much has already been done in this regard – now the share of the ruble and the rial in mutual settlements exceeds 60%.

Work on the joint application of national payment systems is being completed.

A Brief Disagreement” is a powerful animated short by prolific British filmmaker Steve Cutts that shows how weapons of war have evolved over millions of years, but the animosity between humans has remained primitive.

A visual journey into mankind’s favourite pastime throughout the ages.

This point is further demonstrated by the Neanderthal cavemen who operate every weapon throughout the ages, wreaking complete havoc. When absolute destruction is reached, two of the cavemen emerge from the rubble and start the whole process again. Cutts explained that this film took a bit of time to get just right.

Created in Clip Studio Paint and After Effects, I’ve worked on this sporadically for the past few years or so. Hand drawn frame by frame animation, composited in AE.
