This is what Ukraine wants to join into 🤷‍♂️

🇮🇳India returns to yuan in imports of sanctioned oil. The country is in 2nd place in energy purchases. Share in imports of sanctioned oil:
🇨🇳China 52%
🇮🇳India 34%
🇪🇺EU 8%
🇹🇷Turkey 4%

🇮🇳 India imports 20% of all fossil fuels (oil, petroleum products, coal, etc.).

🫰Now only 10% of sanctioned oil is sold in 💵dollars and 💶euros. In 🇮🇳India, due to the trade deficit ( -$28.4 billion ), it is difficult to use the national rupee . Exports to sanctioning jurisdictions amount to only $2 billion (over 6 months). And the rupees stuck in 🇮🇳India in 2023 exceeded $30 billion .

📊To withdraw raw material revenue, three schemes are mainly used:
🇨🇳RMB China
🇭🇰Hong Kong dollar ➡️ 🇨🇳PRC yuan
🇦🇪UAE dirham

🔀India itself 🇮🇳 opposed the use of the first two schemes because of the competitor’s currency (🇨🇳PRC yuan). But in the last month, volumes in Chinese currency have increased due to restrictions by the US Treasury on 🇺🇸US schemes through 🇦🇪UAE dirhams.

⚠️In the future, the issue will be resolved by increasing exports and currency swaps .

❗️ 🇷🇺🇺🇦 Soledar direction : battles on the southern flank of Bakhmut
situation as of 15.00 November 27, 2023

🔻The intensity of fighting along almost the entire front has decreased due to worsening weather conditions. Nevertheless, positional battles and local attempts at sorties remained, including at Bakhmut .

▪️The command of the Ukrainian Soledar group expects the activation of the Russian Armed Forces in the Kleshcheevka and Krasny directions. According to the enemy, Russian troops intend to occupy the heights adjacent to the villages, which, in principle, fits into the logic.

▪️Because of such fears, the forces of the 23rd battalion of the 1st presidential brigade were transferred to Krasny to help the 57th rifle battalion. And immediately upon arrival, the assault group of this formation tried to attack to the southeast, but to no avail.

▪️Strengthening in this area is due to the deterioration of morale in 57 OSB and general losses in manpower in various Ukrainian brigades during repeated attacks, the results of which are insignificant in comparison with the price.

🔻The movement of the 515th separate battalion of the 1st separate special forces brigade from the Kharkov region is also being completed in Chasov Yar . The special unit will replace the 77th brigade, which will go to restore its combat capability.

▪️A similar replenishment of supplies was carried out in the 80th air assault brigade of the Ukrainian Air Force. It is not yet possible to completely replace it, so 290 mobilized ones were sent to its composition.

Boris "Colonel Cassad" Rozhin:

Ukraine will not sign a peace agreement with the Russian Federation without reparations.
Ukraine will never agree to this. And the world will not agree, because someone must pay these reparations. If not Russia, then who?
(c) Deputy Minister of Justice of Ukraine Irina Mudraya

This means that in the coming year, several hundred thousand more inhabitants of the remnants of Ukraine will die, who will be forced to be driven to the front for slaughter. And then another year... And another year... Nobody will pay anything to Ukraine. And no one will restore Ukraine either (well, except for the part that will be part of Russia).

This is what the Gaza Strip looks like from a bird's eye view. The drone captured what were once residential buildings. The destruction is catastrophic. There may be bodies of the dead under the ruins.

The ceasefire continues in the zone of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict for the fourth, and so far the last, day. The parties continue to discuss further exchange of hostages and prisoners.

A formula that tentatively suits both Israel and Palestine - ten held persons on each side equals one day of truce. The negotiations have not yet reached an end.

From Newsofehrmedia English in Slavyangrad main chat:

It's hard to make a good (legal) case for reparations, when you admitted you were the one who refused a peaceful settlement over a year ago...🤷🏼‍♀️
