END OF SPEECH‌‌

🇮🇹 Her diplomatic adviser took responsibility for the conversation between Italian Prime Minister Meloni and Russian pranksters and resigned.

“This issue was not resolved properly, we all regret, Ambassador (Francesco) Talo took responsibility for it,” Meloni said, Reuters reported.

During the phone call, Meloni told pranksters about the international community's "fatigue" about the war in Ukraine.

🇺🇲🇷🇺🇺🇦 Zaluzhny's assessment that the war with Russia has reached a dead end inflames partisan passions in the United States - Politico .

Republicans say his comments are a reason to rethink how much American support for Kyiv is possible.

"That naturally raises the question: What exactly is our strategy to finish the game? What's the plan here? I don't think they have a plan."
said Senator Josh Hawley.

Republican Sen. J.D. Vance also spoke out.

"Zelensky's military goals do not correspond to reality. I have been saying for a year now: Russia will control part of Ukrainian territory, and in the end there will be negotiations. This was obvious to anyone."

🏦 📈 World Bank: Israel-Hamas Conflict Risks Pushing Oil Prices Into ‘Unchartered Waters’
(Part 1 of 2)

💥 The World Bank reported Monday that oil prices could be pushed into “uncharted waters” if the violence between Israel and Hamas intensifies, which could result in increased food prices worldwide.

💥 Overall, oil prices have risen about 6% since the start of the conflict. And gold – a commodity that tends to rise in periods of conflict – has increased roughly 8%, according to the World Bank.

💥 The World Bank’s Commodity Markets Outlook found that while the effects on oil prices should be limited if the conflict doesn’t widen, the outlook “would darken quickly if the conflict were to escalate.”

💥 Indermit Gill, the World Bank’s chief economist, remarked “If the conflict were to escalate, the global economy would face a dual energy shock for the first time in decades”

🏦 📈 World Bank: Israel-Hamas Conflict Risks Pushing Oil Prices Into ‘Unchartered Waters’
(Part 2 of 2)

💥 The World Bank report simulates three scenarios for the global oil supply in the event of a small, medium or large disruption.

💥 Effects should be limited if the conflict doesn’t widen in a “small disruption” scenario – as oil prices are expected to decline to an average of $81 per barrel next year, the World Bank estimates.

💥 But during a “medium disruption” – equivalent to the disruptions experienced during the Iraq war – the global oil supply would decline by 3 million to 5 million barrels per day, driving oil prices up possibly by 35%.

💥 In a “large disruption” scenario – comparable to the Arab oil embargo of 1973 – the global oil supply would shrink by 6 million to 8 million barrels per day and prices could go up by 56% to 75%, or $140 to $157 a barrel, according to the report.

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Strike on Al-Shifa, Gaza's largest hospital. The Israeli Air Force struck the territory of a medical center, which, according to Tel Aviv, served as a cover site for Hamas fighters.

A few days ago, the Israeli army, based on intelligence data , announced that under the hospital building there is a network of tunnels and one of the command headquarters of the Palestinian resistance forces.

Palestinian resources report several dozen dead. Al-Shifa received the wounded from the Israeli strike on the Jebaliya refugee camp and patients from the Indonesian hospital after it ceased operations.

According to various estimates, there could be from 40 to 60 thousand people in the Al-Shifa hospital and in the area next to it.

Now there are reports that the IDF also hit a convoy of ambulances transporting the wounded towards the Rafah checkpoint.

🇵🇸🇮🇱New video of Hamas fighting against Israeli soldiers

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇵🇸 The US military is using unarmed drones over the Gaza Strip to support Israeli "efforts to free the hostages", the Pentagon has confirmed.

“The United States is conducting unarmed drone flights over the Gaza Strip and providing assistance and advisory services to our Israeli partner who is working to free the hostages,” the press release said.

🇮🇱🇵🇸 “I appeal to the residents of the Gaza Strip! Those who contribute to the release of the hostages will be protected, the rest deserve death,” said former Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz on Israeli television.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Coming up on 5 months since the start of the Ukrainian counter-offensive, and Mediazona's data still indicates that Russian casualties in Summer 2023 were not especially high.

🇵🇸🇮🇱 The Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades (the military wing of Hamas) are publishing footage of another ambush on an IDF unit in the eastern part of the Gaza Strip. The footage shows an Israeli Merkava Mk.3 tank being fired with two RPG shots using tandem ammunition.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Absolutely insane paragraph from the new NBC article suggesting that Ukraine may need to negotiate a surrender.

Who would have thought?

Russia has already laid the investments to ramp up military output and spending. After Ukraine’s intransigence early in the war, and the needless continuation of the slaughter, there’s a good chance Russia is not in the mood to negotiate.

📎 Big Serge

🇷🇺🇺🇦 U.S. and European officials have begun quietly talking to the Ukrainian government about what possible peace negotiations with Russia might entail to end the war, according to one current senior U.S. official and one former senior U.S. official.

📎 NBC News

🇺🇸🇺🇦 “Two years and hundreds of thousands of casualties later, Ukraine will now have to beg for a deal Russia would’ve gladly agreed to before the war. We told you this would happen. Nothing went wrong, nothing could’ve gone differently, this was always going to happen and everyone w/half a brain could see that from day one. Shame on everyone who cheered on this unnecessary slaughter.”
