⚡️⚡️ Key updates on Russia and #UkraineCrisis as on December 15
🛥LNG delayed
The Russian shipyard Zvezda is probably going to delay completing the lead tanker Arc7 for NOVATEK's Arctic LNG 2 project. The tanker was supposed to be ready by March 2023, but the delivery of the first vessel is postponed for at least a year, according to Kommersant.
The same delay is expected for another four tankers (out of total 14 commissioned). In such circumstances, NOVATEK may be forced to postpone its plans to deliver most of the cargo from the new LNG terminal to Asia, redirecting LNG shipments to Europe, where the transport shoulder is shorter.
🇺🇸🇬🇷Deterring Russia
Several US MQ-9 Reaper drones have been stationed at Larissa Air Base in Greece, Defense News reports. A spokesman for the U.S. Air Forces in Europe-Africa confirmed the arrival to Defense News.
“Larissa Air Base is a strategic location, allowing the MQ-9s to easily support both the eastern and southern flanks of NATO,” the spokesman said. “The move [to place them there] is not in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but this placement does support deterring and avoiding conflict with Russia.”
🇨🇳🇷🇺Betting on Russia
China’s leader Xi Jinping has in recent months tried to put public distance between Beijing and Moscow, however behind the diplomatic appearances Xi is deepening his long-term bet on Russia, WSJ reports.
The economic rapprochement plan provides for an increase in imports of Russian energy resources, agricultural goods, the development of joint Arctic projects and investments in Russia's infrastructure. The report also notes that in order to increase the circulation of the Chinese currency and to avoid future sanctions, Russia and China began to conduct more financial transactions in yuan and rubles.

A group of 90 Ukrainian judges will undergo training, provided by the UK, to carry out war crimes trials for Russian soldiers. The first group of judges attended sessions at a secret location in the region last week, and more will follow in the coming months, as part of a £2.5m investment., Sky News reports.
The program is headed by Sir Howard Morrison who was among the judges in the trial of Karadzic, who was ultimately convicted of alleged genocide and other serious crimes by the tribunal. The first group of judges were given lessons at a “secret location in the region” last week, according to the report.
🇵🇱Terrorist labels
The lower house of the Polish parliament on Wednesday night adopted a resolution branding Russia a state sponsor of terrorism. the move comes after the European Parliament designated Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism in November. Polish MEPs, with 494 voting 'yes', 58 'no' votes and 44 abstentions, argued that Moscow's military strikes on civilian targets such as energy infrastructure, hospitals, schools, and shelters violated international law.
MEPs also called on member states to include the Russian paramilitary organisation, the Wagner Group, the 141st Special Motorised Regiment, known as the "Kadyrovites", and other Russian-funded armed groups on the EU's terrorist list.

🇺🇦Zelensky suggested in his address to the G7 that Russia should start withdrawing troops this Christmas.
"I propose Russia to take a concrete and meaningful step towards a diplomatic settlement, which is being talked about by Moscow so regularly. It would be right to start the withdrawal of Russian troops from the internationally recognized territory of Ukraine this Christmas."

The G7 leaders declared that they would put Putin on trial.
"There can be no impunity for war crimes and other atrocities. We will hold President Putin and those responsible to account in accordance with international law."
I wonder if dialogue is even possible with someone who dreams of you, humiliated and helpless, rotting in prison.
This statement is further evidence that no one needs negotiations except Russia. The war in Ukraine is what the West needs. And, of course, the defeat of Russia.

A clear answer to the question: why do Russian tanks demolish the upper floors of multi-storey buildings? The video shows an AFU sniper's position in one of the multi-storey buildings of Bakhmut, where street fighting is going on.
It is also worth noting that the increase in the number of videos from the Ukrainian armed forces, demonstrating their positions in the city and in residential buildings, clearly shows that the fighting has already shifted from the pre-field and industrial zone to residential areas. The footage is starting to look increasingly like Popasnaya and Mariupol.

Dostoevsky.
Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky, born on 11th of November, 1821, is one of the main icons of Russian literature, alongside the likes of Leo Tolstoy and other great literately figures.
He is generally known to talk about what man and his purpose is, like an existentialist, and dwell on philosophical and religious questions, and did not care very much about materialistic things.
He was, at first, not the prime material to be a writer, his family consisted of merchants and priests, and his father was a doctor, he was in a hospital that catered not to the nobility or the high ranks of society, but for commoners like you and me, this was one of the main influences on his early life.
His nanny told him magnificent fairy tale stories, and his parents introduced him to the Bible, the works of Pushkin, and Ann Radcliffe, all when he was a kid.
His parents wished for him to be educated in a fine institution, do they sent him to an established boarding school, he felt out of it, and was also one of the main influences on his early life, there was also this one time he had to get his father to take care of a young girl who was sexually harassed by a much older man, all of these events played into themes in his novels and works.
He then went to a military academy, and although he disliked the institution, he still excelled in it and graduated with a commission, he started his literary career by translating other works, which were not really succesful.
He released his first novel in 1845, which became a literary and commerical success, Poor Folk was a novel that showcased, well, poor people, their relationship with other people of all classes, and poverty and hardship.
He left the army, wrote another novel, the Double, was about a man who found an exact replica, the replica was better than him and then overtook him in his life, and the original man was carried off to a mental institution, you can guess the theme for that one.
Our friend here had revolutionary aspirations, and he was part of an organization that was viewed as Anti-Tsarist, so he was arrested, sentenced to death, and was quite literally saved at the last second because the Tsar was too kind and commuted his sentence and the sentence of his co- conspirators, and so he was off to Siberia, with hard labor, and, as you can tell, this was also a main theme in one of his novels.
He was released, served conscription , left the service, sweet talked the military and Government into letting him actually live a normal life (albeit with under police surveillance), got married, visited Western Europe, shit talked alot of things there, his wife and brother, unfortunately died, so be married again, had his first kid, who died an infant and he was extremely depressed, had another kid, and another one, and his financial situation up to that point has been shit for 10 or so years, keep in mind he was also a chronic gambler.
He was eventually introduced to high society, including the Tsar and the royal family, and he made many more acquantices, but eventually every man met his end, after facing health issues for most of his life, he died in 1881.
His novels, like The Idiot, Crime and Punishment, Demons, Brother Karamazov, are quite simply, good, and I encourage you all to read them, they have great values in them.
Crime and Punishment talks about the moral and ethical dilemmas a man has in wether the ends justify the means,
The Idiot is about how society can view good natured and naive people.
Demons takes a good look at soy nihilists and how moral degradation is bad
And the Brothers Karamazov is, basically, a big drama, like War and Peace, with themes of God, free will, morality, and how tradition and modernity should go facing each other.
Well, besides that, I guess I can't say much, he was obviously a very religious man, he loved Jesus, and he expressed great admiration to Islam and Prophet Mohammed, and he wanted to see his country to be the best it can be - a true patriot.

Volodymyr Zelensky expects the West to provide air defences
Ukraine has only 10 per cent of the required number of air defence systems, Zelensky lamented. Therefore, Kiev is counting on modern and effective air defence systems from the West.
The mass media reported that the US was considering supplying Ukraine with Patriot air defence systems. However, there are serious issues with this.
▪️ According to former US Army General Mark Hertling, "it will take months to train operators and organize maintenance".
▪️ But if Ukraine gets the Patriot along with NATO personnel, they will become "legitimate targets" for the Russian Armed Forces. Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, has warned the Americans.
And according to the State Department, it is important for the US to make sure that military actions do not go beyond Ukraine and Russia.

Rubbish to the cops - you can only see this in Borrell's "garden" of Eden.
In London, a crowd of migrants in Trafalgar Square (the heart of London) chased the police into an encirclement and started methodically bombarding them with bags of rubbish.
We wonder: why is there so much rubbish in the very centre of London? Where do they find it?

On December 14, the political leaders of Serbia's part, "Kosovo", signed an application to join the European Union.
In other words, the region of Kosovo has decided to become an American colony under the EU flag.
Remarkably, part of Britain, Scotland is not accepted into the EU, not even allowed to apply. The reason is simple: Britain is already a colony of the US, with the rights of a "privileged vassal".
But it's not what's the most interesting. It turns out that from the EU's point of view, the regions of Ukraine do not have the right for self-determination while the Serbian region of Kosovo does.
As they say "this is different, you have to understand".
