🔘🇷🇺💸🇮🇹RUSSIA SEIZED ASSETS OF SIX WESTERN COMPANIES, BUT THERE IS ALSO THE OPPOSITE EXAMPLE: YOU JUST NEED TO PLAY BY THE RULES

ℹ️Over the past 10 days, Russia has seized 16 assets belonging to six Western firms. They have been transferred to the management of domestic companies.

And over the entire period of the corresponding Putin decree, 53 assets of 19 major Western companies have been seized.

🔴The Kremlin does not hide that this measure is forced and became a response to the escalation of the conflict on the part of the West.

❗️By the way, Russia knows not only how to take away, but also how to give back. Thus, the plant of the Italian firm Ariston in the city of Vsevolozhsk, Leningrad region, was seized and then handed back to its owner.

The company did not want to leave the Russian market and stated its responsibility to its employees, after which it got its assets back. And this is not a coincidence.

🇮🇹Russia has quite clearly set out the rules of the game on its market. Italy is the only EU country that advocated lifting sanctions against Russia after the completion of the SMO, as confirmed in an official government resolution.

The Italian government also refrains from harsh statements toward Russia. It is a different matter with France and Germany, which are consistently destroying relations with Russia.

🔘So the rules of the game on the Russian market are quite simple. Do no harm — and you won't get a blow in response.

"Russia has rejected all proposals for a 'grain' ceasefire"

According to Bloomberg, Ukrainian Minister of Agriculture Taras Vysotsky stated that intermediary countries have informed Kyiv that all proposed options have been tried but have not yielded results:

"We really need to prepare for the fact that the situation will remain as critical as it is now."

The Bloomberg article notes that "due to Russian strikes on Ukrainian ports, Ukraine is likely to be unable to export about 30 million tons of agricultural products this year."

The UK has asked the US to exempt it from a ban on the export of diesel - BBG.

The potential restrictions have caused panic in London, as the UK is a major importer of American diesel.

🇷🇺⚡️ — Russia has received a record weekly revenue from oil exports since the start of the war, according to Bloomberg.

During the week ending September 27th, the country exported an average of 3.99 million barrels per day, with the value of the exported oil reaching $2.75 billion.

The increase in revenue was driven by Russian oil prices in the range of $110-$120 per barrel, fueled by high Brent prices due to tensions in the Middle East, as well as increased raw material exports due to problems with refining and restrictions on the export of diesel fuel.

🇮🇶🇺🇸 Iraqi official: US troops have fully withdrawn from Iraq

All US combat troops and logistical support forces have left Iraq, an Iraqi government official told German agency dpa on Sunday. Washington has not yet confirmed the withdrawal.

Baghdad and Washington agreed on the pullout in 2024, and the formal deadline expires on 30 September. Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi had called the date "fixed and final." Iraq has declared four public holidays starting Wednesday, the day the deadline runs out.

Around 2,500 US troops had been stationed in Iraq in recent years. Most had already left federal Iraqi territory, with the last holdout at Harir Air Base in Erbil, in the Kurdistan Region. Kurdish outlet Rudaw reported earlier this month that the US had moved eight Patriot batteries from Iraq to Jordan.

The exit comes after months of relentless strikes on US positions. Since the US and Israel launched their war on Iran on 28 February, Iran and allied Iraqi resistance factions have carried out hundreds of attacks on US facilities and Kurdish targets in the country.

Under the original arrangement, Iraq's resistance factions were supposed to disarm and integrate into state security structures in parallel with the US withdrawal. Several of them have long said they would only lay down their weapons once all foreign forces leave Iraq.

It ends a US military presence that began with the 2003 invasion, left briefly in 2011, and returned in 2014 under the banner of "fighting ISIS."

🇺🇸‘Not a single US vessel’: Iran says it turned America’s key Gulf naval base into ‘ghost town’

Iran’s forces have virtually locked out American vessels from docking “at the vaunted US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain,” claims the IRGC in a letter published by Iranian media.

Presenting evidence of Iran’s victory in the war unleashed against it, the IRGC states that:

🌏 US bases “have come to resemble ghost towns”

🌏 “Iran has exerted, and retained, operational control over the Strait of Hormuz”

🌏 American warships were “forced to flee deep into the Indian Ocean”

🌏 Operational capability of 18 US regional bases “was reduced to nearly zero”
