Imports of Russian oil to India jumped 50 (!) times, writes The Economic Times.

Before the start of the Russian special operation in Ukraine, Russian oil accounted for only 0.2% of the oil imported by India, the newspaper writes.

Now the share of Russian oil in India is 10%. Russia has overtaken Saudi Arabia in terms of supplies to India and has become the second largest supplier, second only to Iraq so far, the newspaper notes.

If the Sun is shining, then Russians are having a Barbie (or шашлык as they say). Just like Ozzies, Yanks and Pommies and many other cultures and peoples around the globe.

There is more that binds us than divides us. Stop listening to corrupt politicians and their bought and paid for media. Don't buy into the hate, division and separation. We're all humans, end of discussion.

На здоровье! Prost! Cheers! 🍻

Bit of a disruption to programming today.

In short, current global situation.

The Donbass offensive: the situation in the east of Ukraine by the end of June 27, 2022

▪️In the Kharkiv direction, the Armed Forces of Ukraine stopped attempts of offensive actions and switched to mobile defense.
➖Most of the reserves were transferred to the Donetsk direction.
➖During the day, the RF Armed Forces carried out missile strikes on enemy targets in Kharkov.

▪️In the Lisichansk-Severodonetsk direction, the allied forces are developing an offensive in order to encircle the enemy grouping.
➖Assault units of the Russian Armed Forces, with the support of army aviation, broke through the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine west of Volcheyarovka and occupied part of the territory of the Lisichansk Oil Refinery.
➖Fighting is taking place in the western part of the refinery and the village of Maloryazantsevo. It is now possible to leave the outlined cauldron along the only remaining road along the banks of the Seversky Donets through Belogorovka, which is under the fire control of the RF Armed Forces.
➖In Lisichansk, fighting is underway on the southern outskirts in the area of ​​the rubber products plant, Belaya Gora and the glass factory.
➖On the east coast, the cleaning of the territory of the Azot plant in Severodonetsk has been completed.

▪️ In the Soledarsko-Bakhmut direction, the RF Armed Forces hold the front on the Yakovlevka-Berestovoye-Nikolaevka line, inflicting artillery strikes on enemy positions.

➖ Due to a powerful explosion, the Amstor shopping center caught fire.
➖The military-political leadership of Ukraine is shifting the focus and accusing Russia of a deliberate strike on a civilian object, trying in every possible way to hush up the proximity of a strategically important plant.

▪️In the Krivoy Rog direction, mutual shelling of the parties continues in the area near Vysokopole and Zelenodolsk.

Map in high resolution

The mall in Kremenchug from a copter. All night they were looking for 1000 people about whom zelensky is talking. But they never found it. I wonder what 1000 people could do in such a small mall?

The video clearly shows the source of fire far behind the mall, on the territory of a military plant.

The American magazine Money called zelensky "the king of Western corruption."

Demonetised, just like my videos on Bucha and Kramatorsk. Just sayin...

"As for Moody's, it has recently refused to rate Russia, if we understand it correctly. Does this [the statement about the alleged default of the Russian Federation] mean that Moody's has resumed the rating process? Perhaps, the agency should explain it itself," the Kremlin spokesman told reporters.
