TROUBLED GRAIN DEAL IN UKRAINE

On January 16, a cargo ship traveling from #Ukraine to #Istanbul ran aground in the #Bosphorus.

This comes after the #MVGlory cargo ship, which was transporting corn from Ukraine to #China, ran aground in the #Suez Canal, near the city of El-Kantara in northern #Egypt.

Ukrainian vessels involved in the grain deal often lead to traffic jams in the straits.

The Ukrainian Administration of Seaports accused Russia of creating a long queue of ships in the Ukrainian grain corridor.

According to Ukrainian authorities, the #Russian side “slows down inspections of vessels, which is why they have to wait in line a month on average.”

The Russian side probably strengthened control measures after the Ukrainian special services used the grain deal to commit a terrorist attack on the Kerch Bridge to Crimea as well as to attack Russian ports in the Black Sea.

The #Kiev regime continues to use the threat of world hunger in its own interests.
INDIA’S OIL IMPORTS FROM RUSSIA JUMP 33 TIMES TO RECORD HIGH

According to data from energy analytics firm Vortexa, #India’s imports of #Russian crude #oil hit a record high of 1.2 million barrels per day (bpd) in December.

Russia offered deep discounts on crude when the price cap entered into force, which has made India the top destination for Russia’s oil, ahead of
#China.

India’s crude oil imports from Russia were 33 times higher in December 2022 than in December 2021.

Before the invasion of Ukraine, India was a small marginal buyer of Russian crude oil.

After Western buyers started sanctioning and price-capping crude #oil from #Russia, #India became a top destination for Russian oil exports alongside #China.

Russia is now the single-biggest oil supplier to India, having overtaken Iraq in November.

India’s imports of Iraqi and Saudi oil increased in December, but they were still lagging the imports of crude from Russia.

Everybody's favorite
Professional propagandist "#JihadJulian" #Röpcke is apparently convinced that the only reason Ukraine is retreating in the #Bakhmut/#Artyomovsk region is due to callous "#Wagner" tactics of using "Human Wave" attacks.

He's claiming "Wagner" troops are being "decimated" by Ukro
#artillery in that area, and Russian tactics are simply to send "human waves" to be slaughtered

Many of the the comments on that particular twitter post were similarly hilariously deranged.

Its full of people utterly convinced that 10's of thousands of Russian troops have been killed, just in that small area, by the Ukrainian army in the past couple of weeks.

Several comments like: "All russians know is human-wave tactics"

My impression is that the exact opposite has been happening.

Russia has been careful in advancing, and successful in keeping their own casualties relatively low, while decimating the Ukrainian troops with artillery fire

“Russia sold 10% less fertilizer but made 70% more in sales last year.

Russia’s exports of wheat and corn have been as if there was no war.“

The screenshot above shows a comment I posted several hours ago.

Shortly afterward I read about a recent report in the
#Murdoch-owned (hardly pro-Russia) British newspaper "#TheTimes":

KIEV SENT POORLY-EQUIPPED VOLUNTEERS TO DEFEND KEY DONBASS CITY

#Artyomovsk/#Bakhmut

#Ukrainian forces are facing “an often desperate, regularly fatal” action, according to "The Times".

Ukrainian officials have been downplaying the advances in the area made by #Russian troops last week.

According to The Times Bakhmut's defenders are mostly volunteers, and mercs.

Ukrainian Soldiers reportedly had little combat experience.

Their participation in the fight for Soledar was mostly shooting in the general direction from which they believe they're under attack
.


The Ukrainian military "has kept its crack units out of the defense of Bakhmut and Soledar," the newspaper reported

++++++++

I am sceptical that the Ukr "has kept its crack units out of the defense" of those Cities.

they likely don't have many left 🤷‍♂
