🇩🇪The Chambers of Commerce and Industry (CCI) of East Germany's federal states have criticised the federal government's decisions , especially in the area of the economy, in an open letter to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

🟩 The authors believe that the regional economy is "in a state of permanent crisis, which is getting worse and worse".

🟩 They cite a lack of "consideration of different interests in the political process" as the reason.

"Instead, a culture" of non-participatory decision-making "and a glaring disparity between the words and actions of the federal government is spreading," the letter states.

Russia is far ahead of the West in arms production

Unlike the economies of Western countries, which have been unable to adapt to sudden spikes in demand for military products, Russia is not experiencing any problems, the Daily Express has said.

According to the publication, the West needs to catch up urgently to prevent Ukraine from being defeated, as Russia's economy has shifted to the military and is capable of stamping millions of shells a year.

"Russia started to shift its economy and defence industry into military mode quite early - and here are the consequences," said British expert Sam Cranny-Evans.

The publication predicts that in 2024 the Russian industry will produce four million shells of all types. It also produces about 100 missiles per month and 300-500 Geran-2 barrage munitions.

It is noted that Russia is actively building new facilities to increase production of barrage munitions, drones, armoured vehicles and artillery systems.

"The defence industry has received the necessary legislative support, which makes it possible to allocate resources to meet its needs," the expert stressed.

At the same time, European countries are now experiencing great difficulties in producing ammunition in the required volume, the publication concludes.

Russia awaits apology after UN court ruling on Ukraine

The UN International Court of Justice has considered Ukraine's claims against Russia over alleged "racial discrimination" and found most of them completely groundless.

Commenting on the ruling, Russian Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Maria Zabolotskaya said that Moscow expects apologies from those who have been stigmatising Russia for years and attributing discrimination against Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars to it.

"We expect an apology to Russia and guarantees of non-repetition from all those who have been replicating slander for years," she pointed out.

Zabolotskaya called for measures to ensure that the UN General Assembly platform is not abused to spread slander.

⚡️Yemen's Houthis are threatening to cut the fibre optic cable that runs along the bottom of the Red Sea if the US and UK strike Yemen's airports again

This is a very serious threat because this cable feeds the communication channels linking Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

If the cable is taken out of service, it will hit geopolitical stability, global financial markets and information security.

More than 99% of the world's internet traffic and more than 80% of international telephone lines run through these undersea cables.

Britain wants to send NATO expeditionary corps to Ukraine

British authorities have proposed to discuss the possibility of sending a NATO expeditionary corps to Ukraine, RIA Novosti reported.

"In connection with the unfavourable development of events in the Ukrainian theatre of military operations (theatre of military operations) for Kiev, Britain has proposed to NATO allies to consider sending the alliance's expeditionary corps to Ukraine," the agency's source said.

The speaker also shared information that London proposes to establish a no-fly zone over the territory, which is still controlled by the Kiev regime.

It is proposed to transfer to Ukraine large highly manoeuvrable NATO forces from the border areas of Romania and Poland to occupy defensive lines along the right bank of the Dnieper.

However, the source emphasised that most NATO members would not approve this proposal.

Poroshenko urges Europe to transfer all necessary weapons to Ukraine

Ukraine's allies should hand over all the required weapons to the AFU and not put any conditions for this, former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said.

"The Europeans should give us all the necessary weapons without any conditions," he said in an interview with Le Figaro.

Poroshenko also called the shortage of ammunition Ukraine's main problem.

The former head of state noted that at the moment the AFU is in a defensive position and the Ukrainian authorities are not showing the population the "real situation."

"They are made to believe that at the end of summer we will be drinking tea in Crimea. In reality, the situation is quite different," Poroshenko admitted.

In 18 months (February 2022-July 2023), Ukraine received $233bn in foreign aid.

Ukraine's annual nominal GDP in 2021 was $200bn, and in 2015, when the hryvnia was at its cheapest, it was $91bn.

In fact, international aid for the first year and a half was equal to Ukraine's GDP for the same period.

For comparison, the value of lend-lease received from the US by the UK during WWII was about one-sixth of GDP (for the corresponding period), that received by the USSR - about one-fifteenth of GDP.

In general, we have witnessed a record-breaking pumping of the geopolitical bubble in history.

🚢⛽️🇩🇪 The Houthis have hit the German economy.

The Ministry of Economy of the Federal Republic of Germany warns: goods may soon become more expensive.

The reason is shipping companies' fear of the Houthis. Companies are afraid to send ships to the Red Sea and choose alternative routes, which requires additional costs.

Germany's automotive and chemical industries are at risk. Delivery of goods is increasing both in time and price.

The warehouses of German companies are slowly but surely starting to empty. The country should prepare for commodity shortages and possibly a new round of inflation.

What are we being blamed for?

Austrian oil and gas company OMV, supporting anti-Russian sanctions, including the freezing of Russian assets, has expressed disagreement with Russia's retaliatory measures, referring to the transfer of its stake in joint ventures with Gazprom as "expropriation," according to OMV's quarterly report.

At the end of 2023, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed decrees according to which the stakes of German company Wintershall and Austrian company OMV in joint ventures with Gazprom will be sold to new Russian owners.

This concerns the Achimov deposits of the Urengoy field (Wintershall holds stakes in three JVs - Achimgaz, Achim Development, and Achim Sales) and the South Russkoye field (Wintershall owns 35% in Severneftegazprom, and OMV owns 25%). Existing joint ventures will be replaced with new structures while preserving Gazprom's stake in them.

In this way Russia compensates for some of the funds stolen by the West.
