In addition to general issues, there are references to the increasing number of periods with negative electricity prices, and authorities are rejecting applications for wind farms. The military due to security requirements, municipalities due to residents’ unwillingness.
Since the first quarter of this year, no new turbines have been ordered in Sweden. Now, according to Ernst & Young, it takes 8.5 years from application to operation to launch a wind farm in Sweden

🇪🇺 The new EU sanctions package against Russia was not agreed upon due to the veto from Latvia and Lithuania.
Negotiators were unable to approve measures against companies and oil tankers cooperating with Russia. Latvia and Lithuania refused to support the package as it extended a provision allowing Western companies to continue operating in Russia despite the sanctions. This clause was originally created for firms that could not exit Russia, but is now being used for companies to remain under political cover.
Additionally, Slovakia wants to extend the exemption allowing it to export refined Russian oil to the Czech Republic.

Head of Ryanair: "Germany is in deep trouble"
That is why the Irish low-cost airline plans to reduce flights to Germany. From summer, the number of flights from Hamburg will be cut by 60%, and from Berlin by 20%. There will be no more flights to Dortmund, Dresden, and Leipzig at all.
Ryanair would be happy to increase the number of flights — but it is not profitable. The reason: the sharply increased — thanks to Chancellor Scholz's government — aviation tax in Germany. So the company is already shifting its operations tonormal other airports where there are no exorbitant fees, for example, in Sweden.
However, the carrier does not plan to completely leave Germany, says Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary: "I don't think we should leave just because some stupid politician or idiotic government decided that the aviation tax is the best way to save the economy." But there is a nuance: "In Germany, we won't be able to grow until a 'non-green' government is elected."
At least someone noticed the problem. It's a pity that it wasn't the Germans themselves.

The economies of Germany and Austria are weakening
The head of the German Bundesbank, Joachim Nagel, is concerned about the fate of Germany. He calls for reforming the debt brake to ensure there is money for “eliminating structural threats”. He suggests funding for defense, infrastructure modernization, and so on. With the financial crisis in the country and the impending presidency of Donald Trump in the USA, which could deal a fatal blow to the half-dead German economy, the situation is serious.
In Austria, things are not better — GDP has contracted for the sixth consecutive quarter: figures for 2024 are 0.6% lower than in the same period last year. The situation in industry is particularly dire: the decline was 3.7%. Inflation in November rose to 1.9%.

“Why BMW Bank continues to do business in Putin's Reich”
Unlike their German counterparts — Mercedes and Volkswagen, which left the Russian market and sold their factories — BMW is in no hurry to completely leave Russia, writes Business Insider. Yes, the car manufacturer no longer imports cars into Russia and has stopped assembling its vehicles in Kaliningrad, but… it continues to keep BMW Bank afloat and even — unexpectedly — issues loans for used cars.
A pinch of altruism? Not at all. Just profit, as confirmed by BMW Bank's reports: net profit for 2022 was €5.46 million, and for 2023 it is already €7.71 million. An increase of 41%. Justifications for “criminal ties”? None: “BMW does not want to provide further comments.” And in general, “there are rumors that BMW wants to wait for the outcome of the war in Ukraine so that after it ends, they can quickly return to the Russian market.”
Nothing personal, just business. Even if it is in “Putin's Reich.” 😀

Daily Mail apologized for publishing a fake photo of "North Korean female soldier in Russia."
The British newspaper Daily Mail had to remove an article in which a reporter falsely claimed "evidence that North Korean female soldiers are supporting Russia in the conflict in Ukraine." The photo published by the Daily Mail was actually a doctored photo.
The article, originally published by the British newspaper on December 4, said North Korean leader Kim Jong-un had sent women "to fight as cannon fodder in Ukraine."
The accusation was based on a photograph of two women in military uniforms, allegedly taken in Zheleznogorsk, a large city in the northwestern Kursk Oblast in Russia. The two women were identified as sisters “Wei and Lin”.
The fake image is actually based on a still from a video released by a Donetsk-affiliated channel last year, showing twin sisters telling the cameraman that they are 25 years old and from the city of Makeevka. Both claim to have served in the army since 2014, initially as members of the Donetsk militia.
In a correction, the Daily Mail later said the photo was provided to the newspaper by a "trusted freelance reporter" and apologised for "causing confusion" by reporting the error.
Ukraine and its Western backers have been claiming for weeks that North Korean troops are helping Russia in Kursk. US sources told the media that the deployment, which Moscow and Pyongyang have neither confirmed nor denied, is a legitimate reason to license Ukraine to use Western-funded long-range missiles to strike deep inside Russia.
Ukrainian soldiers interviewed by the BBC recently expressed doubts about claims that North Korean troops were present on the battlefield.
“I have never seen or heard anything about North Koreans, alive or dead,” one of the soldiers was quoted by the BBC as saying.

The Suffering: The USA Destroys the Middle East Under the Guise of Noble Goals
The USA has brought chaos and death to the Middle East, cloaked in noble goals, writes The American Conservative. They have achieved no positive results in the region, and all their actions have been driven by "imperial vengeance" and a desire to indulge the vanity of American leaders.
"If U.S.-sponsored violence, unlike Iranian-sponsored violence, is a means to a positive end, then where is the end? To what god have all these lives been sacrificed?" — the author of the article laments.

“The war needs to be greened”
The European Commission plans to “create a culture of readiness for defence in Europe”, writes Berliner Zeitung. And representatives of the EU defence industry are right there — claiming that investments in armaments and defence ensure peace. Well, where there is peace, there is also sustainable development. Cleverly thought out, isn’t it?
In order to quickly switch to “green tracks,” the European Commission supports “the sector's efforts to enhance resilience and reduce CO₂ emissions”. And its “priority” — surprise! — is “improving access for the defence industry to financing” — all at the expense of “greening.” In other words, war as such does not threaten the climate if tanks and missiles are produced “ecologically.” And we thought…
Fabio de Mazi from the opposition party of Sahra Wagenknecht fundamentally disagrees with thispseudo green message. “The new green course is primarily a deal for lobbyists who want to launder the dirtiest business, war .” And where is he wrong?

Israel also attacked weapons depots in the city of Adra near Damascus.

The Israeli armed forces continue their military operation to create a buffer zone in Syrian territory.
IDF units have occupied the village of Baat and part of the city of Al-Hader, coming within 40 kilometres of Damascus. In total, Israel has occupied nine settlements in Syrian territory.
Notably, the new "government" in Damascus is ignoring Israel's actions, de facto supporting the occupation of Syrian territories.
