Europe can’t replace Russian gas – Shell CEO



European countries will not be able to replace Russian natural gas without an energy transition, according to Shell CEO Ben van Beurden.

Increasing gas supplies from Africa and Scandinavia as well as boosting purchases of LNG is not enough, the Shell chief said Thursday - Russia supplies about 40% of the natural gas consumed in the region.

"There is no way to simply buy more pipeline gas and LNG to completely replace all the Russian gas that we currently consume. This is not feasible,” van Beurden said.

This story is of course the usual obvious #Ukrainian #propaganda #lies because only two #Russian #generals have been #killed so far during the Russian campaign in Ukraine.

Major General Andrey Sukhovetsky was killed on February 28

Major General Vladimir Frolov was killed in early April.

Both deaths were immediately officially acknowledged and reported in Russian media.

All other claims of 'killed Russian generals' are simply more Ukrainian lies.

The Ukrainians like such stories because it knows that 'western' media will print them without question.

Russia has not hid the death of high officers because it is impossible to do so. There is also no reason to do so.

Some U.S. sources claim that a general's death will demoralize the troops he led. The opposite is the case.

Generals getting killed on or near the frontline demonstrate to frontline soldiers that they are not alone in their fighting and that their officers are doing the job while carrying the same high risk than they do.

Did UN Secretary-General Guterres Commit A War Crime At Azovstal?


Antonio #Guterres, the #UN #Secretary-#General, is refusing this week to answer questions on the role he played in the recent attempt by #US, #British, #Canadian and other #mercenaries to escape the #bunkers under the #Azovstal plant, using the #humanshield of #civilians trying to evacuate.

In Guterres’s meeting with President Vladimir #Putin at the #Kremlin on April 26, Putin warned Guterres he had been “misled” in his efforts.

“The simplest thing”, Putin told Guterres in the recorded part of their meeting, “for military personnel or members of the nationalist battalions is to release the civilians. It is a crime to keep civilians, if there are any there, as human shields.”

This #warcrime has been recognized since 1977 by the UN in Protocol 1 of the Geneva Convention.  

In US law for US soldiers and state officials, planning to employ or actually using human shields is a war crime to be prosecuted under 10 US Code Section 950t.

Instead, Guterres ignored the Kremlin warning and the war crime law, and authorized UN officials, together with #RedCross officials,  to conceal what Guterres himself knew of the foreign military group trying to escape.

Overnight from New York, Guterres has refused to say what he knew of the military escape operation, and what he had done to distinguish, or conceal the differences between the civilians and combatants in the evacuation plan over the weekend of April 30-May 1........

Worth watching the video to see the mindset:

#Canadian #foreign #legionnaire describes his final patrol in the #Donbass. He only spent a week there in late April.

"We could not really do anything...the tanks, they were too far away to engage with the #Javelin, so every time they would just shred us."

The "#Wali" this guy is talking about as his partner in his javelin team is the Canadian "#sniper" Wali.

They almost got sniped by 125mm HE-Frag.

A report by the #Scientific #Service of the #German #Parliament, the #Bundestag, established that training of Ukrainian soldiers on German soil may amount, under #international #law, to participation in war.

And that gets even trickier when coupled with NATO weapons deliveries:

“Only if, in addition to the supply of weapons, the instruction of the conflict party or training in such weapons were also an issue would one leave the secure area of ​​non-warfare.”

Ukrainian troops get training in Germany

Legal gray zone:
"In a report this week, the Reference and Research Service of the Bundestag, the German parliament, concluded training on German soil could make Germany a legal party to the war.

"When one starts to consider advising those involved in conflict or providing them with weapons training, one leaves the safety of non-involvement," the report said.

It said that weapons deliveries — regardless of the type of weapon — did not on their own constitute participation.

When asked about these findings on Monday, government spokesperson Steffen Hebestreit admitted that the government was "constantly in a difficult situation." But "we are of the opinion that training Ukrainian soldiers on weapons systems in Germany does not mean directly entering the war," he said."

All we need is a Ukrainian #Bana #alAbed and the mimicry is complete.

This is just a dumbass, posing for the camera

Doing that in a real shooting battle would be just a waste of ammunition as you would be very unlikely to hit anything, other than by pure luck.

And jumping around like that would be very likely to attract far too much attention and get you killed quite quickly .....

An interview with Ukrainian #Colonel Vladimir #Baranyuk, the commander of #Ukraine #36th #Marine #Brigade, who surrendered recently

“Our orders were to die”

He said that Kiev abandoned him and his men and that he personally was given an award for bravery by #Zelensky himself, which was announced in a televised address to the nation .

Kiev’s ‘heroic defense’ bravado in Mariupol doesn’t fit with accounts of Ukrainian officers

“The #Javelins didn’t prove useful, especially in urban warfare,” 

“We couldn’t even launch one. I think it’s completely useless in an urban environment, as something always gets in the way,” he explained.

Baranyuk’s unit was also armed with British NLAWs,:

“As for the #NLAW missile launchers, well, we used them more often than the Javelins, but it has its own issue with the battery draining in cold conditions, making it impossible to launch,” he said.

Klaus Schwab’s daughter wants governments to use COVID policies for climate change

Nicole #Schwab, the daughter of World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab and current #WEF Co-Director of the Platform to Accelerate Nature-Based Solutions, wants governments to take advantage of #COVID infrastructure and policies to fight #climate #change.

“Clearly, the system… is not sustainable,” began Nicole Schwab, speaking at an InTent roundtable.

“So, I see it as a tremendous opportunity to really have this #Great #Reset and to use these huge flows of money, to use the increased levers that policymakers have today in a way that was not possible before to create a change that is not incremental, but that we can look back Andre we can say, ‘This is the moment where we really started to position nature at the core of the economy.’”

Schwab continues, saying that politicians and businesses have the opportunity to redesign the economies of the world with nature and “regenerative agriculture” in mind before pivoting into a discussion about “engaging youth” with climate change propaganda to create a “restoration generation” (i.e., indoctrinating an entire generation). … continue
