🇺🇦❌🌐 — Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian Parliament) banned Telegram for deputies and officials

➡️ Members of the Verkhovna Rada and parliamentary staff are banned from using Telegram on official and personal devices.

➡️ This decision, announced by Yaroslav Jurchyshyn, the Chairman of the Freedom of Speech Committee, follows recommendations from the National Security and Defense Council. Jurchyshyn noted that the ban follows previous incidents in which deputies’ data was leaked via the platform.

"I think that such security measures are quite logical. Unfortunately, there have already been examples of third parties obtaining data on state employees through Telegram," Yurchyshyn said.

🇮🇱❌🇮🇷 — 📰 Jerusalem Post reports that Israel will refrain from striking Iranian nuclear targets during the 1st Stage of the retaliation, but focus on military targets,

➡️ Israel is not expected to attack Iran's nuclear program but rather to focus on various kinds of military bases and intelligence sites, the Jerusalem Post has learned, following a New York Times report on the issue.

➡️ Confronted with the Times report, sources did not deny the thrust of the report, which predicted that Israel's retaliation against Iran for its massive October 1 strike on the Jewish state would fall more in the medium range of attack scenarios.

➡️ Further, the Post understands that Israel's attack on Iran - which virtually all top Israeli officials have publicly promised - will still be much more substantial than its narrower retaliation on April 19, when Iran's S-300 anti-aircraft missile system was damaged.

➡️ Despite being presented with the idea that the current context could be a once-in-50-year opportunity to attack Iran's nuclear facilities, sources indicated that attacking Iran's nuclear program would not necessarily be consistent with the "goals of the war" as set by the security cabinet.

🇨🇳🇬🇧🇪🇺 Comparison of CO2 emissions between China, the EU and the UK.

📝: The key to prosperity in the modern age is cheap energy. While China is mining and burning more coal than ever to sustain the massive manufacturing industry it has built, the UK and the EU are dismantling every bit of their industries simply because they have made coal, the cheapest resource, the most expensive one with carbon certificates and other taxes.

Now, British and EU leaders wonder how come all of their industries left for other countries and are scrambling to find ways to make them come back without making coal cheaper, which will never work.

While pollution is undeniably a problem, the solution is not to abandon coal, rather make coal cleaner.
