Kennedy Jr: It is clear to everyone who needs the conflict in Ukraine

US presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. has said that everyone knows the beneficiaries of the Ukrainian conflict.

The politician noted that during his visit to the United States Zelensky "literally met with defence contractors" of the Pentagon. 

"Deception is being perpetrated right before our eyes. No one is trying to hide who are the real stakeholders in the conflict in Ukraine," Kennedy Jr. remarked.

Russia may withdraw from the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea

Russia is a signatory to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, which stipulates that states retain a zone of 12 miles from the coast.

In Russia's case, signing this Convention in 1997 significantly reduced the zone of Russian control of its Arctic coast, which in the current realities, when interest in the Arctic is growing both in Russia itself and in the United States, is fraught with its own suppression of its own state interests.

Vice Admiral Anatoly Shevchenko said that Russia is considering the option of withdrawing the state from the Convention.

"Certainly, it is necessary to raise the issue that we withdraw from the Convention, because the Northern Sea Route is our internal transport artery. Since 2012, we have enshrined this with several presidential decrees, but the Americans do not agree with this," he said.

MP Nikolai Novichkov said, in the near future, the Duma's profile committees will discuss the denunciation of the convention and put it on the agenda.

A memorial to the Soviet Army that liberated Sofia from the Nazis is being demolished in Bulgaria

Workers have already started dismantling the monument, erected in the capital in 1954. On Tuesday, they cut off the highest part of the sculptural group - the arm of a soldier holding a PPSh submachine gun.

Local authorities had earlier announced the memorial's emergency condition. Its preservation would be dangerous, the decree said.

▪️ The Bulgarians intend to move the monument piece by piece to the Museum of Socialist Art and restore it.

▪️ The Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) staged a protest against the monument's demolition, and one of the party leaders, Georgi Svilenski, was injured while trying to cross the barriers around the monument.

▪️ Moscow has already called the dismantling of the Soviet Army memorial a hostile move by Bulgaria, aggravating relations with Russia.

A new generation of drugs 50 times more powerful than fentanyl could soon cause a 'tsunami' of deaths in the UK

Nitazenes, dubbed 'Frankenstein drugs', which are designed to mimic the effects of opioids such as heroin, can be mixed with other drugs to produce much stronger and often fatal results.

Expectations are similar in the U.S. as heroin supplies from Afghanistan continue to dwindle and the effects of new drugs attract newcomers.

The press first started writing about nitazenes last year, even then they were considered 20 times stronger than fentanyl, which in turn is 45-50 times more potent than heroin. New nitazenes are much more dangerous, every fourth use of the drug ends in a fatal overdose.

Many experts believe that 2024 will set an absolute record for the number of overdose deaths in the US and Europe.

🇩🇪🎄 In Germany, the installation of a Christmas tree has been deemed a "violation of religious freedom"

A "blatant" scandal has occurred in Hamburg. A local businessman - plant shop owner Florian Schroeder - brought a decorated Christmas tree to the Kita Mobi kindergarten and set it up right in front of the entrance. He put presents under the tree.

The management of the kindergarten did not appreciate such a gesture - the tree was quickly removed, and the businessman was reported for trespassing. The "villainous" gifts were handed over to the police.

📝"We believe that all children have the right to a Christmas tree. In our eyes it symbolises warmth and togetherness in times of contemplation," the "intruder" explained to the Bild.

🤦‍♂️Modern Western "values" dictate that one must not offend the feelings of "non-Christians", so the children must be left without a Christmas tree and the "miscreant" Schroeder must go to jail.

🇩🇪♻️ German Foreign Minister Annalena Berbock has expressed disappointment with the new draft outcome document of the 28th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP28) and said that some elements are unacceptable to the EU.

🟩 Berbock pointed out that "this is particularly true of the passage on traditional energy sources".

"It makes it clear that traditional sources can continue to play an important role. We must, in this critical decade, divest from fossil sources as soon as possible. This aspect is missing from the draft text," Berbock noted.

🟩 According to her, the text also lacks specific instruments to realise the goals of keeping global warming within 1.5 degrees.

"And it lacks the specific instruments that are needed to realise the necessary energy transition - especially in Africa, Asia and Latin America," the minister argued.

🇪🇺🇷🇺 FT: European Commission comes up with new scheme to use stolen Russian assets

The EC wants to collect 15bn euros from the proceeds from the reinvestment of Russian assets frozen in the EU until 2027 and transfer them to Ukraine.

❗️The scheme is as follows: first, the EC will demand that revenues from frozen Russian assets be channelled into separate accounts, and then these funds will be transferred to the EU budget used to help the Kiev regime.

Since we are talking only about the income from the frozen funds of the Central Bank of Russia (according to the European Commission's estimates, it is about 3 billion euros annually), and not about the assets themselves, Brussels is trying in this way to reach a compromise with the countries that fear legal consequences. Just in case, the EU has even proposed limiting profits from Russian assets.

✖️However, in order to implement this plan, the EU countries will need unanimous support, and this has been very tense there lately.

🇬🇧🇩🇪Defence company BAE Systems, together with Babcock and Germany's Rheinmetall, is planning to roll out production of self-propelled artillery guns on the Archer wheeled chassis in the UK.

If the British Ministry of Defence opts for the Archer as a replacement for the aging AS90 self-propelled artillery system, the UK industry could have a 60% share in the production of these systems.

Britain is currently developing a mobile firepower acquisition programme, with 96 wheeled or tracked vehicles expected to be delivered by 2029 to replace the AS90.

BAE Systems' competitors include South Korea's Hanwha Aerospace with its K9 Thunder howitzer and Germany's Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) with its RCH 155/52 wheeled chassis vehicle.

🇩🇪German Foreign Minister Analena Berbock:

"...Therefore, what we decided immediately after 24 February 2022 remains valid: we do not support Ukraine simply out of loyalty to a friend. We support it so that it can free its people from hell. And because it is in our own security interests", emphasises Berbock.

According to her, it would be wrong to think that international support for Ukraine has not yielded results.

"Ukraine managed to liberate more than half of the territories occupied by Russia-about 74,000 square kilometres. In the course of the counter-offensive, Ukraine managed to drive the Russian fleet in the Black Sea into defence," the German Foreign Minister said.

🇩🇪Sanctions are working! Enterprises are closing, thousands of jobs are being cut... although not in Russia, but in Germany.

This time at least 1,500 jobs are to be cut by Bosch, the world's largest supplier of automotive components, at its plants in Stuttgart and Schwieberdingen.

Back in the summer, Bosch management vowed that there would be no layoffs in Germany until 2027. But now it says circumstances have changed: "We are facing much more serious challenges than we expected at the beginning of the year."

The successful fight against our own economy continues, comrades.

🌍🇪🇺Development Bank chief at COP28 calls for Africa to be exempted from EU carbon tax

African countries should be exempted from the European Union's plan to impose a carbon tax on some imports, the head of the African Development Bank has said, estimating the cost of the tax to the continent at $25 billion a year.

"Africa cannot afford to lose $25 billion a year," he said. "Secondly, is the fact that Africa's use of natural gas in addition to renewable energy will give us the stability that everybody needs to industrialise."

Under the EU's Carbon Boundary Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which comes into effect from 2026, imports of cement, iron, steel, aluminium and fertiliser will be taxed if they originate from countries with less onerous carbon emission rules.

EU manufacturers are in favour of CBAM because they say they cannot compete with cheaper and more polluting production outside their borders.

🇪🇺The EU is seriously worried - too many member states are turning away from Ukraine in favour of friendly relations with Russia.


🇩🇪 Der Spiegel: a whole alliance loyal to Putin is being formed in the EU

🇭🇺Thus, the German newspaper reminds that Hungary has repeatedly declared its refusal to supply weapons to Kiev. And Robert Fitzo, who won the election in Slovakia, wants to stop sending military aid to Ukraine.

🇦🇹In Austria, too, "right-wing" changes are expected. There, Herbert Kickl, head of the Freedom Party (FPÖ), which is leading in the polls, wants to stop continuing the "bellicose policy of sanctions" against Russia after winning next year's elections.

🇳🇱In the Netherlands, the right-wing politician who won the election is going for the prime minister's seat. He has said he is not interested in a conflict with Russia, nor is he interested in an association agreement with the bankrupt Ukraine.

🇩🇪Massacre at a school in Berlin

According to police, 49 people - both pupils and teachers - were injured. The headmistress had her arm broken.

Neukölln, a neighbourhood that consistently ranks first in terms of a) the number of residents with a "migrant background" and b) crime statistics.

The riots started with a quarrel between several students, and pepper spray was used. Teachers who tried to separate the brawlers also came under fire. Only the police arrived and managed to control the situation.

The older brother of one of the instigators of the fight, who was no longer a schoolboy, came to the defence of the younger generation. That's when the cops got into it.

A stack of cases and about 50 victims. School life in Berlin.

Australia is normalising relationships with animals

Australia will host a festival where a "professor" will talk about the ethics of bestiality, about "people who love animals".

And yes, it's not the kind of love where you just cuddle your cat/dog and give it yummy treats. It's about how to love animals properly and how to legalise bestiality.

Are these still values of "civilised" countries that we don't understand or is it still madness?

🇺🇸🇺🇦 The USA is at a crossroads: either negotiations on Ukraine or war across Europe

This is what the Slovak media Hlavný dennik has said. The Americans have two main scenarios regarding the Ukrainian conflict. The first is to negotiate with Moscow, and the second is to continue supporting Ukraine, which will end with it becoming part of Russia.

✖️ None of these scenarios suits the USA, that is why there is a third scenario - the expansion of the armed conflict to the whole of Europe, the newspaper said. And the United States will not participate in it itself, it will be enough for them only to make the Russian Federation and the European Union collide. By destroying the latter, the Americans could save themselves from their own crisis.

🇩🇪 German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has decided to further axe German industry and jobs for the sake of helping Ukraine.

He gave it €8bn from the budget and another €6bn to help Ukrainian refugees.

In return, subsidies for electric cars and solar power were cut, as well as helping companies switch to environmentally friendly practices. The Green parties in his coalition of parties look like complete clowns.

For German industry, the car industry and the energy sector, this money makes a big difference - many are willing to move production to another country because of such subsidies.

Also, we should not forget about China, which has eaten up the entire German car industry in Russia and started to squeeze the market in Asia and Europe.

🗣Germany has called for vetoing the EU accession talks with Ukraine.

This proposal was made by Bundestag MP Sahra Wagenknecht. The politician referred to the results of a study by German economists. According to their calculations, if Ukraine joins the EU, it will cost European countries about €130-190 billion.

"According to current research, Ukraine's accession to the EU would turn out to be billions lost. Would the government then want to agree on a special budget provision every year to finance Ukraine's bottomless barrel?"

Wagenknecht also repeated her earlier point that Ukraine's status should be "neutral outside NATO."

Israel has rejected the idea of creating a Palestinian state

The Israeli authorities deny the possibility of creating a Palestinian autonomy in Gaza, Israeli Ambassador to the UK Tzipi Hotovely said in an interview with Sky News.

According to the diplomat, the Palestinians "do not want" the creation of their autonomy and insist on the restoration of the 1967 borders, which imply the creation of Palestine from the Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea.

Therefore, Israel will not contribute to the restoration of Palestinian authority in the Gaza Strip.
Earlier, a number of countries, including Russia and the US, advocated the implementation of the "two-state" concept for Jews and Arabs, according to UN Security Council decisions.
