Russia is the winner in the energy markets. This opinion was expressed on August 10 by Bloomberg columnist Javier Blas.

The journalist noted that the country, despite the imposed sanctions, was able to fully restore the pace of oil production, and revenues from the sale of resources, even after the introduction of spring discounts, remain record-breaking.

The West's reliance on Russia's isolation on the world market has also failed, as Russia has been able to find new buyers and cooperates with the Middle East and Asia now. The refusal of the OPEC+ bloc to interrupt contacts and coordination with Moscow indicates the preservation of the country's influence in this organization.

The Economic Times reported that Russia has become the second largest oil supplier to India, overtaking Saudi Arabia, due to discounts on Russian energy resources.

Don’t miss a chance to discuss the main economic challenges in energy, as well as current issues concerning the development of the fuel and energy sector in the world. Russian Energy Week will take place on 12–14 October 2022 in Moscow.

📌 Facts to know on the eve of today’s meeting of the UN Security Council on Zaporozhskaya NPP
 
🔵 On 5-6 August the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) once again attacked ZNPP by shelling the critically important infrastructural objects of the plant as well as its satellite city Energodar. Twenty shells have been fired during the strikes

🔵 On 5 August, at 14:45, the Ukrainian shelling (three shells hit in the proximity of the training centre next to the territory of the open switchgear of the NPP) resulted in shutdown of the autotransformer and the high voltage line providing backup power to the Units №1 and №2 of ZNPP

🔵 On 5 August, at 16:45, the Ukrainian side committed an artillery shelling (four shells) of oil and fuel oil handling equipment and the site of hydrogen receivers. Damage of the pipeline caused jet fire that was localized due to timely and professional actions of ZNPP personnel and Russian military

🔵 On 6 August, at 19:42, the AFU units attacked ZNPP once again. Three artillery shells of 155 millimeters caliber (NATO standard) exploded next to the spent fuel storage and only 200 meters from the operating unit. One person was injured

🔵 On 7 August ZNPP was again shelled by the Ukrainian armed formations. The high-voltage power line “Kakhovskaya” was damaged. Equipment of an open switchgear (750 kW) was damaged as a result of a power surge. At Unit №4, that was operational at 10% capacity, the power supply of control and safety system went offline. This triggered the emergency protection of the Unit №4

🔵 The Ukrainian personnel of the plant has decided on cooldown of the Unit №4 of ZNPP, as well as downpower of the Units №5 and №6. Currently, the Units №5 and №6 are downpowered to 500 MW

🔵 On 11 August Ukrainian armed formations again tried to attack the ZNPP with missiles and UAVs. This attack was repulsed by the air defense forces

🔵 In addition to direct military threats to the security of ZNPP the Kiev regime is working on other scenarios to create intentional preconditions for a nuclear accident at ZNPP. Inter alia, Kiev is considering different options of cutting the plant off from the Ukrainian power grid and keeps increasing psychological pressure on ZNPP employees and their relatives (they regularly receive phone calls threatening them with criminal prosecutions and physical reprisals)

🔵 Attacks of the Kiev regime on ZNPP endanger the safety and security of Europe and the whole world. In case of an accident at this station the radiation contamination zone (more than 5300 square kilometers, length around 420 km) would cover the population of Kievskaya, Zaporozhskaya, Kharkovskaya, Poltavskaya, Khersonskaya, Odesskaya, Nikolaevskaya, Kirovogradskaya, Vinnitskaya oblasts, Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, border areas of Russia and Belarus, as well as Moldova, Bulgaria and Romania. The situation could get worse because of adverse weather conditions and spread of possible contamination zone to South-Ukrainian NPP and the nuclear fuel storage at Chernobyl NPP, as well as water arteries. The Black Sea and the Bosphorus Strait would become unsuitable for navigation for a long time. The shores of Abkhazia, Bulgaria, Georgia, Romania and Türkiye would be contaminated with high levels of radiation

❗️The UN, the IAEA, as well as all countries that have influence on the Kiev regime should do everything possible to ensure immediate cessation of Ukrainian attacks on ZNPP before they resulted in devastating consequences for the whole mankind

🌾 Despite Kiev’s statement on addressing the “global food crisis”, none of the ships from Odessa are heading to Africa, South America or other countries facing “catastrophic levels of hunger”.

🚢 Instead, they are going to Turkey, Italy, Ireland, UK and China.

🌽 Moreover, according to Associated Press, most of the cargo is corn for chicken feed, which is not intended for human consumption.

💥 Meanwhile, actual wheat fields are used as cover for Ukrainian artillery (guess where the return fire is going to land).

In other words - a country that cried “wolf” all too often.

#Nebenzia: #NPP is a civilian object. That's why #Russia is guarding it to prevent it from being damaged, because we know what the consequences would be. We warn about potential consequences that will occur if one day the shelling of it leads to leakage of radioactive materials.

Zaporozhye authorities:

💬At least 3 shells of the Ukraine’s armed forces hit area of radioactive isotope storage at Zaporozhye NPP in 24 hours.

Head of🇷🇺National Defense Control Center #Mizintsev:

💬As a result of the shelling by 🇺🇦 armed forces, the Zaporozhye nuclear station’s own thermal power plant was damaged as well as the equipment of spray ponds of the nuclear reactors’ cooling system.

Ukrainian ‘Acts of Terrorism’ Would Cause Disaster ‘Dwarfing’ Chernobyl – Russian Foreign Ministry

Continued shelling of the Zaporozhye plant by Ukrainian forces is putting millions of lives in East and Central Europe at risk, according to deputy spox Ivan Nechaev - yet Kiev continues to deny it is responsible for the attacks.

“We are in favor of organizing an IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency] mission … which was disrupted in June due to … the UN Secretariat’s Department of Safety and Security,” Nechaev added.

Ukrainian attacks are now being repelled and countered by Russian forces, according to local Zaporozhye administration - but Russian Foreign Ministry spox Maria Zakharova warns that Ukraine “apparently won’t hesitate to burn [the plant] for the sake of their Nazi idols”.

Russia has summoned an emergency session of the UN Security Council - to be held on Thursday - to discuss “Ukrainian provocations”.

🎙 Statement by Permanent Representative Vassily Nebenzia at UNSC briefing regarding the attacks of Ukrainian armed forces on the Zaporozhye NPP

Read in full

🔹 Ukrainian armed forces have used heavy artillery and multiple launch rocket systems against the biggest nuclear power plant in Europe – the Zaporozhye NPP.

🔹 Developments at the ZNPP these days are the climax of Kiev's criminal actions against nuclear infrastructure and personnel servicing nuclear facilities.

🔹 From the very start, we supported the IAEA efforts aimed at ensuring safety and security of Ukrainian nuclear facilities.

🔹 We carefully observe the mentioned seven principles and do our best to let IAEA representatives make sure of that themselves.

🔹 Heinous attacks by Kiev against nuclear facilities push the world onto the brink of a nuclear disaster, the scope of which would be comparable to that of the Chernobyl tragedy.

❗️ We call on the states that support the Kiev regime to check their proteges, make them stop attacking the ZNPP and residents of Energodar once and for all.

❗️ We urge the top officials of the United Nations and IAEA to demonstrate their leadership and global responsibility and indicate clearly and without diplomatic courtesies the real source of the threat to the safety and security of the ZNPP.

#Zakharova: The Ukrainian ambassador to Australia in his social media accounts called to donate for his daughter's education in London.

It's not a joke. These are Vasyl Myroshnychenko's posts on his authorized accounts in Twitter and Facebook. First he writes about showing American universities to his daughter and then says that she has chosen studying in Britain after his fascinating stories.

Mendicancy and vagrancy are at the core of the current "diplomacy" of the Kyiv regime.

And that’s how the whole country was wasted.

🕯Выражаем глубочайшие соболезнования народу и правительству Египта в связи с пожаром в коптском православном храме "Абу Сифин" в Каире, повлекшим многочисленные человеческие жертвы. Передаём искренние слова сочувствия семьям и родственникам погибших. Желаем скорейшего выздоровления пострадавшим.

🏭 As a result of regular AFU shelling of Kakhovskaya HPP with US-made HIMARS MLRS in particular on August 12, 2022, three of the six turbines of the hydropower plant are shut down. The facility is operating in pre-emergency mode.

▫️Disruptions to the power generation and water discharge systems could fail the combined energy system and negatively affect the cooling of Zaporizhzhya NPP reactors, which would not only disrupt electricity supplies, including to the territory temporarily under Ukrainian control, but also lead to an environmental disaster in the region.

💬 Russian MFA Deputy Spokesperson #Nechaev: The #AUKUS military alliance of Australia, the UK and the US is yet another attempt by Washington to dominate #AsiaPacific region, exerting sole control over maritime routes, trade routes, economic, military, scientific, technical and other cooperation.

🇷🇺🇮🇳✉️ President Vladimir Putin sent greetings to President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the 75th Anniversary of India’s Independence.

💬 In the decades since your country became independent, it has achieved widely acknowledged progress in a variety of areas, including the economy, social sphere, science and technology. India by right enjoys considerable authority on the world stage, playing a constructive role in solving urgent issues on the international agenda.

The Russia-India relationship is developing in the spirit of a privileged strategic partnership. Moscow and New Delhi are cooperating successfully in various areas and interacting effectively as part of the UN, BRICS, SCO and other multilateral structures.

I am certain that our joint efforts will ensure continued development of the entire set of the fruitful Russian-Indian ties for the benefit of our two nations and in the interests of strengthening regional and global security and stability.

⚠️ AFU command is preparing large-scale provocations near Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant.

▫️To implement them, a separate regiment of radiation, chemical and biological protection troops with up to 1,000 servicemen have already arrived in Nikopol', Dnepropetrovsk Region, equipped with special protective kits for action in conditions of radioactive contamination, as well as technical means of radiation reconnaissance and control.

❗️We warn the international community and international organisations in advance of the provocations being prepared by the Ukrainian authorities, which could result in a real threat to the nuclear security not only of Ukraine, but also of Europe, while the criminal regime in Kiev and Western countries will blame the Russian Armed Forces for their possible consequences, following a well-established scenario with extensive media coverage.

💬 President Vladimir Putin: All attempts to cancel our culture, to cancel Russia are futile. It is just stupid.

☝️ And those who think otherwise, unfortunately for them, have not learned the lessons of history. But history is made by ordinary people.

🎙 President Vladimir Putin's address to participants and guests of the 10th #MoscowConference on International Security

💬 The situation in the world is changing dynamically and the outlines of a multipolar world order are taking shape. An increasing number of countries and peoples are choosing a path of free and sovereign development based on their own distinct identity, traditions and values.

These objective processes are being opposed by the Western globalist elites, who provoke chaos, fanning long-standing and new conflicts and pursuing the so-called containment policy, which in fact amounts to the subversion of any alternative, sovereign development options. Thus, they are doing all they can to keep hold onto the hegemony and power that are slipping from their hands; they are attempting to retain countries and peoples in the grip of what is essentially a neocolonial order. Their hegemony means stagnation for the rest of the world and for the entire civilisation; it means obscurantism, cancellation of culture, and neoliberal totalitarianism.

They are using all expedients. The United States and its vassals grossly interfere in the internal affairs of sovereign states by staging provocations, organising coups, or inciting civil wars. By threats, blackmail, and pressure, they are trying to force independent states to submit to their will and follow rules that are alien to them. This is being done with just one aim in view, which is to preserve their domination, the centuries-old model that enables them to sponge on everything in the world. But a model of this sort can only be retained by force.

❗️ They need conflicts to retain their hegemony. It is for this reason that they have destined the Ukrainian people to being used as cannon fodder.
They have implemented the anti-Russia project and connived at the dissemination of the neo-Nazi ideology. They looked the other way when residents of Donbass were killed in their thousands and continued to pour weapons, including heavy weapons, for use by the Kiev regime, something that they persist in doing now. Under these circumstances, we have taken the decision to conduct a special military operation in Ukraine, a decision which is in full conformity with the Charter of the United Nations.

It is obvious that it is only possible to reduce tensions in the world, overcome military-political threats and risks, improve trust between countries and ensure their sustainable development through a radical strengthening of the contemporary system of a multipolar world.

The era of the unipolar world is becoming a thing of the past.
