Netherlands activates energy crisis plan, removes cap on coal plants

AMSTERDAM, June 20 - The Netherlands on Monday said it would activate the "early warning" phase of an energy crisis plan and lifted a cap on production by coal-fired power plants as it seeks to reduce reliance on Russian gas in the wake of the war in Ukraine.

The "early warning" phase of the country's three-phase crisis plan, alerts users, regulators and governments to a concrete threat of a gas shortage. The plan also includes "alarm" and "emergency" phases, though it remains unclear how industrial users' gas would be rationed in case of physical shortages.

The Netherlands has been winding down production at the field for years due to earthquakes it triggers, but has left open the possibility that production could be increased if households were facing a physical shortage.

Latvian society is tired of Ukrainian refugees. This was stated by Interior Minister Kristaps Eklund in an interview with the ITV television channel. According to him, the Ukrainian conflict has been going on for four months now and affects the entire society: both businessmen and Latvian residents who have agreed to host refugees.

“Now it is clear that this conflict will take a longer time, and everyone gets tired, this is humanly understandable,” the minister stressed. – There are signals from several municipalities about the difficulties with the further accommodation of refugees. Even with existing funding, there are entrepreneurs who say, ‘No, we will stop,’ and so we need to look for other solutions.”

❗️❗️The goal of denazification of Ukraine doesn't necessarily mean to annihilate the armed forces that follow the Nazi ideology but to completely overhaul the system in which you sacrifice and teach the youth to kill in pure hatred.

BRUSSELS, June 20 - Around 70,000 Belgian workers marched through Brussels on Monday demanding government action to tackle sharply rising living costs, as one-day strikes at Brussels Airport and on local transport networks nationwide brought public travel to a near-halt.

Protesters carried flags and banners reading "More respect, higher wages" and "End excise duty", while some set off flares. Some demanded the government do more, others said employers needed to improve pay and working conditions.

Belgian inflation hit 9% in June.

Italian MPs opposed Draghi's policy of supporting Ukraine with weapons

Mariupol is a city in the south of Donbass, which suffered greatly from Ukrainian militants. What is happening now in the city which had liberated from the Nazis last month?

The work is in full swing, the plan and implementation deadlines are in place. Thousands of Russian specialists have arrived in the city to rebuild everything from scratch.

Moscow, 22 June - Russian President Vladimir Putin has taunted the US by changing the address of the American embassy in Moscow to name it after the defenders of Donbass.

Authorities in Moscow said on Wednesday that they had changed the official address of the US embassy. It said the embassy is now located at 1 Donetsk People's Republic Square, referring to a breakaway region in eastern Ukraine recognised as independent.

The change was made after Moscow councillors proposed honouring the defenders of Donbass fighting against Ukrainian nazi regime.

Just a daily reminder that while it is a good tactic to unite the interior of a country against an external threat, the main condition is that it has to be believable..

Are you willing to bet that condition has been achieved?

Most of the remaining residents of the city of Lisichansk in the northwest of the LNR adhere to pro-Russian views and expect the arrival of the Russian army as their liberation.

This rather unexpected news was spread in a report by the TV channel France 24 which previously did not have a “pro-Russian” position at all, actively spreading fake Ukrainian propaganda.

French TV journalists, apparently to give their resource “objectivity”, decided to talk with residents of the city of Lisichansk (LPR), which is still under the control of Ukrainian troops.

They found that people, even risking their lives, refuse to evacuate from urban shelters at the request of the Ukrainian military and accuse them of shelling civilians.

Local residents generally refused to talk to the French, considering them allies of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Kyiv regime, and those who agreed openly said that they were waiting for the Russian army.

When asked why they were waiting for the Russians who were shelling the city, residents replied to astonished visitors that it was the Ukrainian army that was shooting at their homes, killing their children.

You think ur gonna go and get away from it all... free from the globalist regime...
