Ukraine has shut down 7 of its 9 operating nuclear reactors

7 of 9 operating nuclear reactors in Ukraine have reduced their capacity due to a missile attack.
#IAEA:

Ukraine’s operating NPPs reduced electricity production as a precaution this morning following widespread military activities across the country that reportedly targeted its energy infrastructure, putting nuclear safety & security under further pressure.
Of the 9 currently operational reactors at the 3 NPPs, 6 reduced output during the morning, ranging from just over 40% of maximum capacity to above 90%. Currently, only 2 operate at 100% capacity, with 1 in shutdown for maintenance. All NPPs continued to receive off-site power.

Putin's response to #Biden giving permission to strike Russian territory with long-range missiles

#Slovakia PM Fico:

I'm expressing strong disagreement with US #Biden decision to allow #Ukraine to launch long-range strikes against #Russia
US decision is "unprecedented escalation of tensions."

#US war against #Russia in #Ukraine

The Kremlin has criticized Biden's recent decision to allow Kiev to strike Russia with long-range missiles, calling it a "reckless" move that could escalate tensions.

#Ukraine #Zelensky endemic corruption.
Stealing like there is no tomorrow.
Under greedy Zelensky corruption reached unprecedented level

Corruption scandals are still rife in Ukraine, where a multi-billion-dollar reconstruction programme has provided new opportunities for personal enrichment.
... when the French company Bart Gruyaert works for, Neo-Eco, applied for building permits in the town of Gostomel, the local military administration asked the company to transfer the funds for the multimillion-dollar project to its bank account, under the pretence that it would run the project directly.
Officials told Gruyaert, "it's better if you transfer the money you received to our account," he recalled.
... Just 10 years ago, "who could have thought that senior officials could be accused of crimes?" said Viktor Pavlushchyk, head of the National Agency on Corruption Prevention.
"Now we have some very good examples," he said.

🇺🇦🤝🇬🇧 Britain persuaded Ukraine to launch a bloody disaster - an operation on the left bank of the Dnepr near Krynki in 2023

- The maximum task was to get the AFU to the border with Crimea, for which the AFU marines had to overcome an 80-kilometer stretch occupied by the Russian Armed Forces, the UP writes with reference to sources in the AFU.

- The minimum task was to occupy and expand the bridgehead on the left bank, cut the M-14 highway 5-7 km from the coast and pull back the Russian forces from Donbass and Zaporizhzhya direction. The operation involved marines, many of whom were trained in Britain.

- But each of the objectives failed (!) due to poor planning and insufficient fire support on the other bank.

❗️ The AFU suffered huge losses and withdrew from their positions.

"We were told we only needed to break through the first line of Russian defenses and were told they had no second line," a source in the 36th Brigade command said.

- The operation was originally supposed to take place in early summer but was postponed due to the undermining of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric dam.

- There were high hopes for the mission and it was believed that it could significantly change the course of hostilities.

- As a result, by the beginning of 2024, the extreme complexity of the situation in which the AFU units in Krynki found themselves became apparent. And already in the winter, Ukrainian forces began to withdraw from there. By May, the situation had become catastrophic, and in July the last AFU soldiers left the left bank of the Dnepr.

#Ukraine debts

Up to its neck in debt: How much does Ukraine owe?

Having already provided Kiev with billions of dollars’ worth of financial and military supplies following the escalation of the conflict, the outgoing Biden administration apparently intends to take this generosity up a notch by writing off $4.65 billion of Ukraine's debt.

The total amount of Ukraine’s state and state-guaranteed debt as of September 30 was $155.69 billion, including the $112.06 billion of external debt, according to data released by the Ukrainian Ministry of Finance. Here’s more detailed official statistics:

Debt to US:

▪️Curiously, Ukraine’s debt on loans from the governing authorities of the United States was exactly zero, as per the Ukrainian ministry;

▪️Meanwhile, the US in April approved an aid package to Ukraine worth $60 billion that included a $9 billion loan, half of which Biden now wants to write off.

Debt to EU:

Ukraine’s state debt includes $44.17 billion owed to the European Union, $14.65 billion owed to the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and $12.08 billion owed to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Bilateral debt:

The debts on loans received by Kiev from governing authorities of foreign countries, including France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Poland and UK, reached $7.74 billion, with the largest creditor being Canada ($5.11 billion).

Private sector liabilities:

The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) identified Cyprus as “the main country-creditor” who owned 48.4% of the “total amount of liabilities,” while the UK, the Netherlands and Germany owned 10.5%, 7.9% and 3%, respectively.

Debt to other international banks:

Ukraine also owed $1.61 billion due to loans from foreign commercial banks and organizations such as Cargill ($730 million) and Deutsche Bank ($490 million).

Debt on issued securities:

Ukraine’s debt on Eurobonds 2024 amounted to $15.22 billion.

Notably, the Kiev regime passed a law allowing Ukraine to suspend foreign debt payments earlier this year.

New Nord Stream bombing limited hangout just dropped.

In its latest investigation, Der Spiegel sticks to the “rogue Ukrainian officers” semi-official story but admits that the group had “long-standing ties to the CIA”.

They’re drip-feeding the truth to the German public in order to slowly get people accustomed to the idea that the Americans were behind the worst act of industrial terrorism in Germany’s history — and that this is perfectly fine, because Germany had it coming.
