No convictions secured for Russian sanction breaches, says NCA

Sanctions were introduced after the Crimea annexation in 2014 and the wider invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

It's all a bit bollox isn't it. I'm sure many companies have taken it seriously, but those that haven't will likely avoid prosecution.
Anyway, let's not worry, the government has now appointed a sanctions champion...

The governor of Smolensk region next to Belarus, reports an alleged drone attack on a nuclear energy facility.

Probably a Russian drone

Probably a Russian drone

That could be a possible scenario. Belarus is reported to have shot down a Russian drone. A while ago, there was talk of Ukrainian electronic warfare managing to turn Russian drones around so that they fly into Belarus instead.

Yes, I remember that... Russian drones put into reverse gear

An oil refinery has been attacked at Kstovo, Nizhny Novgorod.

You are faster than Denys Davydov , his update on this hit is right at the beginning of his video.


More enjoyable video. Ukraine has hit 11 key refineries in the last 10 days....way to go

11 key refineries - incredible.

I saw from Jake Broe that the Ryazan one alone has meant a 5% fall in the amount of refined oil Russia can currently produce.

No. Ukraine obviously wants the war to end, but only with a 'just and lasting peace'.

The truth is, a 'just and lasting peace' would have all land returned to Ukraine.

It would...and even in my optimistic moments I sadly can't see that happening. I hope I'm wrong.

 

[raymondo]

I found this very interesting. The speaker/journalist has investigated the very many ways that Russia uses propaganda/maskirovka against Ukraine and the West in general, and how Ukraine tries to counteract it.
For example, Telegram accounts and messaging is accessible by Russian FSB (she is certain).

Here's the Jake Broe video.

What's all this? Russia says no-one from the Trump administration has contacted them about the meeting with Trump.

Is Putin becoming impatient? Watch from 15:20

Good for the US and Trump, I like that .
If you're feeling desperate, Putin, pick up the phone.

I feel exactly the same way, some days are hard then something happens to lift you up & you pray a little harder.

something which lifts you up.

That interviewer has a very punchable face; Putin often uses him for his 'statements'. As one reply says...Putin is an illegal president as Russian elections are always fake.

What a strange world we live in ! Gareth Southgate was knighted for achieving next to nothing, apart from winning The European Championship for Italy at Wembley, and Steve Rosenberg's name was missing from the honours list.

Presumably that first video is just for the Russian public. It's all boring lies and not worth my time highlighting his contradictions.

More war with Russia please, until they beg for peace.
