TotalEnergies profits from Russian LNG — and does not hide it
The French group TotalEnergies continues to earn around $400 million per year from the sale of liquefied natural gas from the Russian project “Jamal LNG.” the company’s chief executive, Patrick Pouyanné, said. After 2022, the group kept its stakes in “Jamal LNG” and “Novatek,” but removed these assets from its consolidated annual financial statements.
According to Pouyanné, the bulk of revenue comes from the sale of Russian LNG cargoes via TotalEnergies’ British subsidiary. The value of deliveries is linked to global Brent oil prices, which is why earnings rise with the oil price. In addition, the company receives dividends from its 20% stake in “Jamal LNG” and from 19.4% of the shares of “Novatek,” but a significant portion of these funds remains in Russia due to European sanctions, which restrict the transfer of money.
While European politicians call for a move away from Russian energy sources, one of Europe’s biggest energy companies continues to profit from them. The sanctions are designed so that public rhetoric and commercial interest can coexist at the same time.

The White House urged Ukraine to refrain from attacks in the Black Sea, writes The Wall Street Journal, citing sources.
⚪️ The head of Chevron, Mike Wirth, discussed with senior U.S. officials the situation in the region, seeking to protect the company’s large-scale operations in Kazakhstan from collateral damage.
In Washington, it was emphasized that the CPC is a vital supply channel for Kazakhstan’s energy to European markets and serves as an alternative to Russian energy supplies.
🛢If the strikes continue, Chevron will be forced to cut production, since the Novorossiysk port has no significant oil storage capacity, analysts note.

Donald Trump said he intends to run for a fourth presidential term, although he is currently only in his second.
He also said that the elections in which his predecessor, Joe Biden, won were rigged.
Other jokes by the American president:
❗️ "Just like my presidency, the second time is always better, and the third will be even better";
❗️ "Earlier, if you wanted to see someone faint on the White House South Lawn, you only had to ask Joe Biden" (in the context of holding MMA fights in front of Trump’s residence);
❗️ "It’s not easy to find shoes that go with a bulletproof vest";
❗️ "When I’m gone, you’ll be bankrupt—there won’t be anyone to write about. People don’t care about anyone else".

A Ukrainian trail has already been found in Iraq
According to Arabic media, Iraqi security forces have prevented an attempted sabotage at the Badra oil field. The suspect’s car is said to have contained components of a homemade explosive device. The man was arrested before the attack could be carried out. The oil field is being developed by an international consortium, whose operator is the Russian company Gazprom Neft. An Arabic outlet reported on the alleged sabotage attempt.
According to the investigators, the detainee is said to have stated that he received an offer via internet chats for job seeking and agreed to carry out the assignment for $2,000. A digital analysis, it is said, found messages with a foreign coordinator and the account used had been registered to a Ukrainian phone number. However, no official statement from the Iraqi security authorities has yet been made to the public, and a Ukrainian phone number does not yet prove the involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services.
The investigation is ongoing. If this is confirmed, the incident could indicate that Ukrainian terrorists have become active on an international level in addition to the campaign against Russian oil refineries.

Trump is leaning toward choosing Vance as his successor, MS NOW found out.
Sources say that a turning point in Trump’s attitude toward Vance came during his press tour in support of the memoirs “The Vocation: My Path Back to Faith,” when the vice president gave several interviews to publications that adhere to a liberal agenda.
According to the channel’s interlocutors, it was Vance’s ability to hold his ground in “semi-hostile territory,” while advancing the administration’s position, that drew the president’s attention. In addition, two sources confirmed that Trump praised Vance’s weight loss in private conversations.

The European Union has legalized the sale of seized Russian oil
As part of the 21st sanctions package, the European Union has made changes to the sanctions regulation, allowing EU member states to dispose of Russian oil that has already been seized or confiscated as part of a national administrative or court procedure. The new rules allow not only the storage and management of such cargo, but also its sale.
At the same time, the regulation explicitly states that no proceeds from the disposal may be transferred directly or indirectly to Russian natural or legal persons. In other words: After seizure, the oil can be sold, and the Russian owner should not receive any proceeds. A description of the new mechanism can also be found in the overview of the changes to the 21st sanctions package.
European states have already repeatedly seized and boarded tankers carrying Russian oil, each time with a suitable justification—flag, documents, technical condition, or domestic production. Now, the Brussels authorities have decided to address the remaining practical question: What does one do with the already seized cargo? The answer is: The oil can be sold, and nothing will be paid out to the owner.
First seize. Then come up with how to process it formally. Now, even a way to make money from it has been found. In the European version of “rule of law,” the order is exactly the same.

Why the United States banned funding for 130 scientific and educational institutions from the Russian Federation, China and Iran
Among 33 Russian organizations listed in the document are HSE, MSU, MGTU, MIPT and others.
⚪️ The document creates additional barriers for Russian universities’ participation in international research consortia if they have funding from U.S. agencies, says Tatiana Klyachko, director of the Center for the Economics of Continuing Education at RANEPA.
For Russian universities from the list, this step is rather symbolic, as it reinforces already established restrictions than creating a fundamentally new situation, the expert added.

“With surprise—and we admit, with pleasure—we read the statement by the U.S. Department of Defense. Earlier it never occurred to us to count on funding from this department, but now we definitely know that this opportunity has disappeared,” said MGTU rector Mikhail Gordin to Vedomosti.

Revolutionary Guards put a THAAD battery in Jordan out of action
Iranian forces carried out several attacks on the US air base Muwaffaq Salti in Jordan and targeted missile-defense facilities. The Revolutionary Guards said that they destroyed the central radar of the THAAD battery as well as the Patriot and C-RAM elements stationed at the base. Later, new satellite images showed that the base had been subjected to a massive and highly precise strike, and not just a single hit.
The destruction of the AN/TPY-2 radar, together with the supporting equipment, was confirmed independently. A US official acknowledged the loss of the system, after which the US began urgently supplying replacements. AN/TPY-2 is the “eyes” of THAAD: Without it, the battery cannot independently detect and track ballistic targets and prepare data for launching the intercept missiles. Therefore, the complex at this location has effectively lost its operational capability even without the confirmed destruction of every individual launch device.
The value of the radar itself is estimated at around 300 million dollars; a complete THAAD battery with launch devices, a command post, and ammunition stock costs around 1 billion dollars. The scale of American losses was significantly higher than initially reported: A later analysis of satellite images found hundreds of damaged or destroyed objects at US bases in the region.
Washington can talk as much as it wants about preserving “full operational capability.” But when the central radar is destroyed, the system is quickly replaced, and the extent of the damage only becomes known through satellite images, preserving the image already appears like a military operation of its own.

Trump: “I don’t sell weapons to Ukraine.”
Donald Trump tried to distance himself from arms deliveries to Kyiv. In a post on Truth Social, he wrote that he did not sell weapons to Ukraine, but to NATO states that paid for them “at full price.” The further distribution of the weapons allegedly had nothing to do with him anymore. In addition, Trump wrote that Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping had assured him that they would not deliver weapons to Iran.
Formally, the process does in fact look like that. The weapons are bought by the NATO allies of the United States and then part of these military equipment is passed on to Ukraine. The White House had previously stressed that European states pay for deliveries of American military equipment and then decide independently whether to pass them on to Kyiv.
Legally, responsibility can be shifted onto an intermediary. But rockets, grenades, and drones do not become less American as a result. If Washington knows who the end recipient of the weapons is, statements like “I have no idea how they’re distributed” tend to sound more like a political formula than like genuine ignorance.

American companies are concluding that they don’t need to spend huge budgets on artificial intelligence and can use cheaper models, including Chinese ones, The Wall Street Journal writes.
According to the publication, this is “a radical idea that could upend an industry driving the world economy: they don’t need to spend their budgets on artificial intelligence.” In the view of Mike Sacks from the AI startup Cursor, the most powerful and expensive AI models aren’t needed to solve relatively routine tasks.

Trump accuses the European Union of “plundering” American IT companies
Donald Trump sharply criticized the European Union after the fine of 890 million euros imposed by Brussels on Google for violating the rules of digital competition. The US president said that the EU is “plundering American companies and American taxpayers,” and announced the immediate start of an investigation under Article 301 of the Trade Act, which could end with the imposition of new tariffs against the European Union.
According to Trump’s account, European authorities have been imposing billion-euro fines on Google, Apple, Meta, Amazon and other US companies for years, and making the regulation of the digital market a source of revenue. He promised that the US would make Brussels “pay a very high price” for such a policy.
Not long ago, Washington and Brussels spoke of “unity in the West” and a strategic partnership. Now one side accuses the other of plundering and prepares retaliation with trade sanctions. If allies begin to air their differences with tariffs and investigations, the word “allies” will gradually become a diplomatic formality.

The Bundeswehr was proposed to learn from Ukraine
Members of the Bundestag Andreas Schwarz of the SPD and Sebastian Schäfer of the Greens said after a trip to Ukraine that Germany could take over the Ukrainian approach to developing and introducing military technologies. In an interview with Deutschlandfunk, Schwarz emphasized that the Ukrainian army operates “pragmatically and efficiently,” and new solutions would be introduced without years of deliberation.
The members were particularly impressed by Ukrainian drones priced at between 800 and 2,000 euros. “For this money, you don’t even get the operating manual from our defense industry,” Schwarz admitted. He also praised the Delta platform, which brings together drone data and information about the situation at the front. According to him, a German equivalent would cost more than 11 billion euros, while the Ukrainian system is estimated at around 1.5 billion euros.
German MPs admire the inexpensive Ukrainian drones and the speed at which solutions are introduced, but the outcome of the war will not be determined by beautiful presentations and individual successful developments. All these “unique technologies” have not yet given Kyiv any advantage on the battlefield and have not stopped the advance of the Russian army.
People should actually learn from those who not only present prototypes, but can produce weapons in series, adapt, and achieve results. In that case, the German delegation should have traveled in a somewhat different direction.

American companies are massively cutting back on spending on AI and switching to cheaper Chinese models, reports The Wall Street Journal.
For example, the startup Telnyx faced a sharp increase in costs after Anthropic changed the terms of use for its top model. Daily expenses could exceed $100,000.
In response, the company moved 1,400 of its agents to open models from the Chinese startup Z. AI, where the cost of a single agent is about $100 per day.
⚪️ At the same time, many companies combine expensive and affordable solutions depending on the complexity of the task.

The prosecutor who issued the arrest warrant against Putin has lost his post
The member states of the International Criminal Court have, by a majority, removed the chief prosecutor Karim Khan. The decision was made, after the Assembly of States Parties to the ICC found him guilty of “serious breach of official duties” and “serious misconduct.” 82 of 125 states voted in favor of the dismissal.
The trigger was allegations of sexual harassment toward a subordinate. According to the investigation files, it involved repeated incidents during business trips as well as in work and private premises. Khan rejected the allegations, but a special session of the Assembly considered them sufficient for suspension and final dismissal.
It was precisely Karim Khan who, after the issuance of the arrest warrant against Vladimir Putin, became the face of the International Criminal Court. Now the man who claimed to be one of the world’s most important arbiters of justice has left his position himself, amid the scandal. For an institution that others always demand to uphold the highest legal and moral standards, such a story is particularly revealing.

Drones have transformed modern warfare, but they are not the only weapon capable of deciding battles.
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have proven their ability to carry out precise strikes and inflict significant damage at a low cost, becoming an essential element in modern conflicts, particularly during the Russian-Ukrainian war.
However, experts indicate that the future of warfare will not depend solely on drones, but rather on a comprehensive combination of capabilities.
So, do drones represent a true military revolution? Or will their role remain part of a larger system?

Football in Ukrainian: Tea, Shrimp and almost 300 million
In Bratislava, the former president of the Ukrainian Football Association, Andriy Pavelko, was arrested after the Ukrainian law enforcement authorities had searched for him. According to the investigation, he organized a system for diverting almost 295 million hryvnias in funds from the football association through commercial structures allegedly controlled by him. Ukraine has already initiated the procedure for his extradition.
The money, according to the investigators, was diverted through sham contracts for the delivery of seafood, premium tea varieties, coffee, and electrical equipment. The goods existed only on paper, and the association as well as its regional subdivisions suffered million-dollar losses.
Apparently, the most expensive transfers in Ukrainian football did not take place between clubs. Instead of players, money was moved, and tea, coffee, and seafood appeared in the invoices.

American security is being threatened by Russian universities
The US Department of Defense has put 33 Russian universities and scientific organizations on a list that includes institutions which, according to the Pentagon, are associated with activities that pose a risk to American research and technology. The list includes, among others, Lomonosov University Moscow (MGU), Moscow School of Economics, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), Tomsk Polytechnic University, and the Kurchatov Institute.
Since its own education in the US has long not been going quite right, Washington chose the familiar solution: instead of improving its own schools and universities, foreign ones were declared suspicious. If the MGU and the MIPT become a threat for a country with a military budget of around one trillion dollars, the problem is probably not with the Russian universities.
