Russian Black Sea Town Plunged Into Environmental Catastrophe After 4th Drone Strike On Oil Complex
Russia's Tuapse on the Black Sea can't catch a break as it has been hit by Ukrainian drones for the fourth time within only a month, after a series of devastating attacks in April which unleashed large fires.
On Friday another fire broke out at a marine terminal in Tuapse after this latest Ukrainian drone strike, regional emergency officials have confirmed. Over 100 fire-fighting personnel are battling the blaze.
Tuapse has already been under a state of emergency for several days, when a Ukrainian drone strike triggered a massive refinery fire, forcing evacuations and spilling oil into coastal waters.

That prior fire was only extinguished Thursday, and only 24 hours later the next drone strike hit. The town there has already been facing environmental disaster, with even black rain reported due to the constant thick black smoke hanging high above.

Via The Cradle
Russia has become Syria's leading supplier of oil since the collapse of former Syrian president Bashar al-Assad's government and the rise to power of former Al-Qaeda chief Ahmad al-Sharaa, according to Reuters.
Shipments of Russian oil have risen by 75 percent this year to roughly 60,000 barrels per day (bpd), based on Reuters calculations using official data and vessel tracking from LSEG, MarineTraffic, and Shipnext.

While these volumes account for only a small fraction of Russia's total global oil exports, they are significant for Syria. With domestic production still well below demand, Russian supplies have made Moscow the country's leading crude provider.
According to two analysts and three Syrian officials cited by Reuters, the trade is driven by economic necessity in Damascus while also allowing Moscow to maintain influence in Syria.
The energy supplies risk complicating Syr...

Top US General Signals Russia Is Helping Iran In War
Authored by Jack Phillips via The Epoch Times,
The highest-ranking U.S. general on Thursday signaled that the Russian government is assisting the Iranian regime in its war with the United States.
In comments before Senate Armed Services Committee, Gen. Dan Caine, the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, responded in an affirmative manner to a question from the panel's chairman, Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Ala.), about whether there is Russian involvement.
“General Caine, there's no question that Vladimir Putin's Russia is taking serious action to undermine our efforts for success in Iran. Is there any question about that?” Wicker asked the general.
Without going into detail, Caine said, “I think there's actions and activities. [I'm] mindful of the hearing room we're in, but there's, there's, there's definitely some action there."
Meanwhile, Iran's regime said on Thursday it would respond with attacks on U.S. military positions if...

Top Russian & Indian Think Tanks Devised A Plan For Rebalancing Economic Relations
Authored by Andrew Korbybko via Substack,
Sanctions, bureaucracy, and logistics are the primary obstacles to “diversifying economic ties and correcting the existing imbalance”, but these can be surmounted through SMEs playing a greater role, more localization and procedure simplifications, and optimizing their trade corridors.
The Russian International Affairs Council (RIAC) and Gateway House, which are among their country's top think tanks, published a joint report in late March about moving “Toward More Balanced Russia–India Economic Relations” for the second Russia-India International Conference. It's over 40 pages long so this piece will highlight the top takeaways and then briefly analyze them. The report began by acknowledging the challenges posed by US sanctions for reaching their goal of $100 billion in bilateral trade by 2030.
The solution that was presented, especially for the oil and finan...
