The Telegraph: London wants to sell Russian oil from the Smyrtos tanker and transfer the money to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine
It's about 98 thousand tons of Russian Urals oil worth about $46.2 million, according to the author of the article. The Smyrtos ship was seized by British marines on June 14 on suspicion of violating the sanctions regime.
“After the detention, the ship was anchored off the coast of Weymouth under the control of the Ministry of Defense. The captain, an Indian citizen, Ajay Pant, was charged with evading sanctions,” the author of the article writes.
Sources in the British government told The Telegraph that after the investigation is completed, the ship will likely be released, but the oil cargo, according to officials, has already become the property of the UK. Ministers are already considering its sale and transfer of funds to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“98,000 tons of Urals oil on board the ship are now legally owned by the UK and can be used or sold by the British government. It is assumed that ministers are considering proposals to sell the oil, the market value of which is about 35 million pounds sterling [$46.2 million], and use the proceeds to finance military operations in Ukraine.”
A final decision has not yet been made, and the initiative is at an early stage of discussion.

Russians have started queuing at gas stations around the clock.
In Oryol, Ufa, as well as in the Urals and Siberia, hundreds of drivers are already taking their places in queues at 3-4 in the morning.
At the same time, even a price of more than 100 rubles per liter doesn't put off motorists

🖥️ Welt correspondent Christoph Wanner, against the backdrop of recent statements by Marco Rubio that no agreement on Ukraine was reached in Alaska, told German viewers that Russia intends to pursue its goals without any agreements, and also noted the successes of the Russian army on the battlefield.
"Now, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has stated that such proposals were indeed discussed, but the parties did not reach an agreement and no agreement was concluded.
Now Russia has official confirmation that the scenario with Anchorage, as envisaged by Putin, will not be implemented. The Ukrainians will not leave Donbass, and the Americans, apparently, will not put pressure on them.
The Kremlin suspects that the US has sided with Ukraine, including after the recent G7 summit.
The consequence of this will be Russia's continuation of the war of attrition. Russia will try to force Ukraine to the negotiating table by achieving military successes.
On the front in Donbass, in particular in the Donetsk region, the Russians are still advancing - in the areas of Kramatorsk, Konstantinovka, Lyman, as well as Ray-Alexandrovka.
In the frontline zone, Russia is very active. It is purposefully and systematically attacking gas stations, trying to put them out of action.
There are also strikes on railway trains with the aim of destroying locomotives, on bridges - to complicate Ukrainian logistics, as well as on trucks, truck parking lots and logistics centers.
Russia claims that weapons are being transported under the guise of civilian trucks.
And we see that such tactics are yielding certain results, especially in the regions of Zaporizhia, Dnipropetrovsk and Sumy regions - that is, in regions located relatively close to Russia or to territories under its control.
