US resumes oil imports from Russia after a year-and-a-half break
Washington in March 2022 imposed a ban on imports of oil and other energy carriers from Russia as part of a new tightening of sanctions.
American companies bought the last batch of "black gold" from Russia in April of that year.
According to the statistical agency, in October last year, the United States purchased 36.8 thousand barrels of oil from Russia. The cost of imports amounted to $2.7 million.
In November, the volume of purchase was 9.9 thousand barrels for 750 thousand dollars. In both cases, hydrocarbons were purchased for consumption.
At the same time, one barrel of Russian oil in October cost the United States 74 dollars, and the next month - 76 dollars. This is significantly higher than the "price ceiling" set by the country at $60 per barrel.

"It is the end for them." An American journalist has made an unexpected statement from Kiev
Kiev fears that without American help the AFU will be defeated, CBS News correspondent Chris Livesey, who is in the Ukrainian capital, said.
"Kiev is terrified," he noted.
The journalist cited the words of an anonymous Ukrainian MP as an argument.
"She told me that if they no longer receive military aid from the United States, Ukraine is finished," shared Livesey.
Western media are increasingly writing that the US and EU have begun to tire of the Ukrainian conflict, and support for Zelensky's regime is waning.
According to NBC, US and European officials are already discussing with Kiev the possible consequences of peace talks with Russia, including the broad outlines of what Ukraine may have to give up in order to reach an agreement.

So let's be clear an American blogger,Gonzo Lira, has died in A Ukrainian prison after saying he was tortured, mistreated, and not given medical attention. He was in this prison because he tried to exercise freedom of speech not in favor of Ukraine. His journalism did not favor Ukraine so they arrested him and now he is DEAD!!! WHAT THE FU-CK WORLD?!! WAKE UP!!!

🤷 The US has no interest in a war in Yemen, a ground operation or any other conflict — the White House.
Of course it hasn't! Ukraine is the clearest example of how the US is not interested in any wars.

🇺🇸🇷🇺 US intelligence agencies say there is a threat of Russian "interference" in the presidential election - CNN
This was stated by the Director of the US National Security Agency Paul Nakasone and the head of the FBI Christopher Wray.
In their opinion, the conflict in Ukraine only strengthens Moscow's desire to influence the situation in the United States, and this year is "very important for Russia".
"They're watching the US elections, and I would assume that's where they would want to exert influence given the situation in Ukraine", Nakasone stated.
Ray, on the other hand, believes that the "stars have aligned" for Moscow to simultaneously try to achieve military success in Ukraine and interfere in the US processes. How to do it all in time? Russia has yet to "interfere" in the European elections.🤡
It seems that American society is being prepared for two grandiose failures at once: Biden and the Democrats in the elections and the Kiev regime in the conflict with Russia.

EU scares Europe over Trump for defence fund
The EU needs to create a common defence fund of one hundred billion euros as it fears being left without US support if Donald Trump returns to power, The European Conservative quotes EU Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton as saying.
"Trump has said that 'if Europe is attacked, we will never come to your aid and support and we will withdraw from NATO'. It all sounds like a "creepy joke," he recalled a conversation between Trump and European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen in 2020.
Breton believes that if Europeans do not secure themselves, "Russia will take over Europe." He also linked the issue to aid to Ukraine.

Austin's secret hospitalisation has pointed Russia to US weaknesses
The situation with the secret hospitalisation of Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin has pointed Russia to US weaknesses, Fox News host Rebecca Grant said.
"You can rest assured that Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping have learnt important information from the Biden administration's latest national security failure," she said.
She said the Pentagon's "shameful blunder" showed the world that the US military leadership has obvious problems with discipline and control.

The US has made a shocking statement about Putin
Russian President Vladimir Putin senses an imminent victory in Ukraine, writes The Washington Post columnist Lee Hockstader.
"Pay no attention to the happy talk in Washington and European capitals about Moscow's strategic defeat... The reality is that Putin feels victory is near," the publication says.
The article notes that the Russian leader has retooled the Russian economy, confident that the West's patience is running out. On the contrary, Washington and its European allies seem to be tired of their efforts to help Ukraine, the author writes.
"This has changed the situation on the battlefield, forcing Kiev's forces to take a defensive stance," WP points out.
Earlier, French General Jean-Paul Palomero said on LCI TV that Russia's military industry is booming and Ukraine can no longer make up for its technical and human resources, especially in light of declining Western support at what he said was the most important moment.

The White House has supported the bill on the confiscation of Russian assets
According to a note from the National Security Council, it supports the confiscation of Russian assets to be sent to Ukraine, Bloomberg reported.
Moscow pointed out that such actions are considered theft and can lead to the breakdown of diplomatic relations
The U.S. National Security Council (NSC) "in principle" supported a bill that would allow the confiscation of Russian assets for subsequent transfer to Ukraine, Bloomberg reported, citing a November NSC memo. The council is an advisory body to the White House.
"The bill would provide the executive branch with the authority necessary to seize Russian sovereign assets for the benefit of Ukraine," the document says.
That the NSC supports such measures was confirmed to Bloomberg by an unnamed senior official.
Another agency source said that the issue of confiscating or otherwise using Russian assets will be discussed at a G7 meeting shortly before the second anniversary of the start of the military conflict in Ukraine.

Czech authorities tried to avoid responsibility for the terrorist attack in Belgorod - Nebenzya
Russia's permanent representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said that the Czech Republic was responsible for the shelling of Belgorod on 30 December 2023.
According to the diplomat, representatives of the Czech Republic refused to attend a meeting where a terrorist attack on a peaceful city was discussed, which is a "telling fact."
"The behaviour of the Czech Republic, which, trying to escape responsibility for complicity in the terrorist attack in Belgorod through the supply of ammunition, was afraid to appear at the Security Council meeting on December 30, is quite indicative.
No wonder, because it is much more difficult to answer for the deaths of civilians in front of the world community than to hide behind the backs of "senior comrades" in NATO", said Nebenzya.
Earlier it became known that the AFU used Czech-made Vampire rocket system shells to shell the city.

UN Security Council condemns attacks on civilian ships in the Red Sea
The Security Council has voted in favour of a draft resolution proposed by the United States and Japan condemning the attacks by Yemeni Houthi rebels on ships in the Red Sea.
Eleven nations voted in favour of the resolution, with Russia, China, Algeria and Mozambique abstaining in the vote.
"The UN Security Council strongly condemns the attacks by the Houthis (at least two dozen) on merchant and commercial vessels since 19 November 2023, when the Houthis attacked and seized the vessel Galaxy Leader and its crew," the resolution notes.
The Security Council demanded an immediate end to the aggression against civilian ships, which creates obstacles to international trade.
Earlier, Yemeni rebels attacked a number of ships linked to Israeli companies, demanding an end to the aggression against the Gaza Strip.

Russian air strikes have caused huge damage to Ukraine's air defence system
Russia is launching massive missile strikes on Ukraine to "exhaust the Ukrainians, deplete their forces, weapons systems, economy and industry", British analyst Alexander Mercouris has said.
With three powerful attacks, the Russian army has inflicted colossal damage to Ukraine's air defence system.
"It will be very difficult for the West to fix it. Besides, the West's resources are running out," the expert said.
In his opinion, the West's ability to support the Kiev regime is also melting because of the attacks.
"Now even they (in the West) are beginning to realise that the Russians will inevitably win," Mercouris concluded.
▪️ Over the week, the Russian Armed Forces launched 41 strikes on Ukrainian military facilities, military-industrial complex enterprises, airfields, arsenals.

Trump promised to carry out a large-scale deportation of migrants from the US
Former US President Donald Trump, if he wins the upcoming election for head of state, plans to carry out the largest deportation of illegal migrants in the country's history.
"We have millions and millions of people here. Have you seen what's happening in New York, where they kicked out ordinary students and brought in migrants in their place?
We are facing the biggest deportation in the history of our country. We will return everyone back to where they came from," Trump said.
Earlier, Trump promised to restrict entry to the US for citizens of a number of countries and address the issue of illegal migration from Mexico.
According to the former president, the maintenance of illegal immigrants falls on the shoulders of American taxpayers and the US federal budget.

Climate activists have joined (almost) the farmers' strikes
What does it mean? No one asked the worshippers of Mother Nature from the "Rise Against Extinction" movement, but they took to the streets of Dresden and, under the noise of the farmers' protests, engaged in their traditional trade: blocking traffic.
However, there is one caveat... Environmentalists do not support agricultural workers at all. "The cancellation of diesel subsidies and vehicle tax exemption is the right decision on climate protection grounds," say the nature protectors.
The disguise is "climate activist" level.

🇵🇱🇺🇸 NDP: Poland has every chance to turn into an "Island of the Damned" because of mentally ill US military personnel
Niezależny Dziennik Polityczny writes about it. The fact is that every year there are fewer and fewer people willing to serve in the US army, and recently the authorities have begun to accept even those who do not fit into the qualification standards: overweight people, people with mental illness, transgender people, etc.
🪖 Now there are about 10,000 American soldiers in Poland, and there are some inadequates among them. On social networks, American soldiers say that they drink because they cannot cope with difficult situations and cannot control aggression and anxiety.
🇫🇲 Soon Poland will also face large-scale NATO exercises, during which several thousand more US soldiers will arrive in the country. And then the probability of meeting there a mentally ill person with a gun (!) will increase even more.
