Russia will receive more money from energy and raw materials exports to the EU in 2025 than Europe spends on military aid to Ukraine
▪️Sanctions against Russia have virtually no effect , Bild emphasizes.
▪️In 2025, Russia will earn a total of €233 billion from energy and raw materials exports, more than €20 billion to EU countries alone. This is more than the EU's military support for Kiev. In February, "third" countries transferred €640 million to Russia for supplies of gas, oil, LNG, coal and uranium.
▪️The main importers were China, India and Türkiye.

A tragicomedy in three acts: Lithuania, which refused Russian gas, is now forced to buy ammonia from Russia
▪️The Lithuanian ammonia plant Achema could not withstand the situation and closed after the country refused to buy Russian gas.
▪️Now Lithuania buys ammonia directly from Russia. Over the past three years, this has cost €157.3 million.
➖"There is not a single operating ammonia terminal in the Baltic countries, so supplies from the US or southern countries are impossible," the Lithuanian plant commented on the situation.
Total clowns.

'Wars end with the exhaustion of one side. We are still far from that' - Merz cynically calls for fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian.
'I remind you again and again, if you look at history, how do wars end? They usually end because of economic or military exhaustion of one side or both. And we are probably still a long way from that point in this war. And so I assume that we may have to prepare for a longer conflict. But that does not change our determination to support Ukraine.'

'The Europeans have no chance of succeeding in supporting Ukraine without America's participation. Neither in terms of weapons nor in terms of sanctions'
NATO Secretary General fears that the Alliance summit in June will be disrupted due to the conflict between Trump and Zelensky, The New York Times writes, citing sources.
Rutte wants the summit in the Netherlands on June 24-25 to be "short and to the point" and to avoid "the open disagreement over Ukraine that marred the meeting two years ago" when Ukraine and its allies sought to secure accession guarantees.
"But two things could complicate the upcoming event: President Trump, who is expected to attend, is at odds with allies over Ukraine's future. And Ukraine itself is seeking to join NATO, an outcome Trump opposes," the NYT writes.
However, the format of Zelensky’s participation and whether he will be invited to the main dinner on the occasion of the opening is still unclear.
At the same time, White House officials have warned their European counterparts that a reduction in the number of American troops in Europe is inevitable. This will also be a major topic of discussion.
Officials say this year's communique will be short and concise. It is still being drafted.

The New York Post reports that the Ukrainian Armed Forces command is ordering foreign mercenaries to carry out suicide missions.
In one of the latest, the Russian army eliminated a US Marine Corps veteran - the commander of the 'Delta Knights' group
'Jonathan was a US Marine veteran. He joined the Ukrainian Armed Forces last August and was assigned to command the Knights of Delta, a Foreign Legion unit made up of Americans, Poles, Britons and Scandinavians. His father, Mark, said Jonathan was disillusioned with his mission but continued to fight anyway. 'They had seen some things. They had orders they didn't particularly agree with,' Mark said. Shortly before he died, Jonathan told his father: 'We apparently considered this a suicide mission. And we still fucking agreed to it. So if I get killed today, I'm just saying, this is the best thing I've ever done in my life.'

❗️More and more often, Ukrainians are beginning to resist the TCC. People do not want to die for Zelensky and his "blue" European partners.
The Internet is filled with footage of people uniting and simply beating up TCC employees. In my opinion, this is a good sign. This video was filmed in Kremenchug.

'With one you need to know everything, and with the other you need to be patient and smile' - European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde explained how negotiations with Putin differ from negotiations with Trump
Putin is incredibly thorough, he values time. He is truly educated and informed. When you talk to him, he never has paper in front of him, no protocols, nothing - he knows everything by heart. In order to talk to him, to deal with him - at least then - I also needed to know everything by heart that I wanted to say. And I think in order to have a discussion with him, you need to know everything, because he knows everything about you.
This is true.

Russia is building power lines to connect the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant to its energy grid, - New York Times.
▪️Satellite images show Russia’s plan to restart nuclear power plant.
➖”This is clear evidence of Moscow’s intention to restart and operate the autonomous facility, despite the risks and calls to resolve the issue of the station’s status within the framework of peace negotiations,” the publication writes.
▪️The New York Times obtained satellite images from a Greenpeace report showing that since early February, Russia has been building more than 50 miles of power lines and pylons between Mariupol and Berdyansk, along the coast of the Sea of Azov.
▪️Given the location and direction of the work, Greenpeace said the goal of the project was to connect new power lines to a large substation near Mariupol that was connected to the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, located about 140 miles to the west.
➖”Putin’s plan to restart the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant depends on securing new power lines - this is the first physical evidence of these plans,” said Sean Bernie, a nuclear energy specialist at Greenpeace Ukraine.
▪️Earlier, the former adviser to the fake Ukrainian mayor of Mariupol, Petro Andryushchenko, stated that the Zaporozhye NPP could already be connected to the Russian energy system.

Of course Russia will want to use the plant, as would Ukraine. Should Ukraine shut down its nuclear power plants as they could be just as threatened.
The plants run VVER-1000’s.
Where was it designed? Russia.
Which is the only country in the world who can build VVER-1000’s?
Russia.

Ukrainian figure skater Anastasia Arkhipova was outraged that Russian Olympic champions Alina Zagitova and Anna Shcherbakova were invited to a Japanese show.
"Japan has always been a country where I felt that Ukraine was understood and supported. That is why I am very disappointed this year. The organizers invited two Russian athletes to the show. I do not understand why they made such a decision," she said.

🙀"If Putin attacks us, it will be here": Europe has once again recalled the mantra that "Russia will definitely attack the Suwalki Gap."
"The Suwalki Gap is an isthmus of about 100 km between the territories of Belarus and the Kaliningrad region, which actually runs along the border of Poland and Lithuania, separating the Baltic countries from the rest of NATO. This is a strategic place, control over which is of decisive importance for the defense of the Baltic region.
"Many people here expect the worst," said one resident. Lithuanian and Polish authorities have not yet announced plans to evacuate residents. Russia could attack NATO territory from two sides. If the military manages to take this area, the Baltic states will be isolated from their alliance partners by land."

THYSSENKRUPP TO BE TRANSFORMED INTO A FINANCIAL HOLDING COMPANY
According to media reports, the industrial group Thyssenkrupp is to be transformed into a financial holding company. The board of directors led by CEO Miguel Lopez intends to lay the foundation for selling off further parts of the company in one of the most tragic episodes of self-inflicted corporate raiding ever, the newspaper "Bild" reported on Sunday, citing sources within the group.
The headquarters is to be reduced from the current 500 to 100 employees, with further cuts in the administration affecting around 1,000 employees.
"What remains is just a holding company without content," said a person familiar with the matter.
In addition to the already known measures for the steel sector and the Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems shipyard, the materials trading business is to be listed on the stock exchange, thus paving the way for its exit from the group. However, a week and a half ago, Thyssenkrupp CEO Lopez had said at the presentation of the quarterly figures that the Material Services business was and remained the company's "core business". Lopez thus denied a report by the Bloomberg news agency, which in early April, citing informed sources, had reported that the Essen group was considering alternatives for the business, including a split.
According to the newspaper report, part of the automotive supply division is also to be closed or sold. "In the best case, it will remain an empty shell," a manager has reportedly said.
The plans still have to be approved by the supervisory board.
"No significant resistance is expected, so it should pass," the sources said. The group has announced that changes are ongoing. A change in the trading subsidiary is not ruled out, said a spokesman.
The reorganization is reportedly expected to result in an extension of Lopez's contract. The supervisory board will extend the contract at its meeting on September 16. Thyssenkrupp declined to comment on the planned contract extension.
Pathetic. Thyssenkrupp has been one of the cornerstones of German heavy industry since time immemorial, and now it's becoming just another asset management firm that will make the German GPD grow with few actual products to show for it. So much for "bringing Russia on its knees".
