Washington's Renewed Russian Oil Sanctions Waiver Will Help Their Shared Indian Partner
Authored by Andrew Korybko,
Both benefit from this since the US wants to avoid India sliding into turmoil amidst the global energy crisis and possibly offsetting its envisaged role as a counterweight of sorts to China while more energy revenue from India preemptively averts Russia's potentially disproportionate dependence on China.
The Treasury Department renewed the US' Russian oil sanctions waiver on Friday two days after Secretary Scott Bessent said that this wouldn't happen.
It remains unclear what exactly accounts for this flip-flop, but it's possible that Trump 2.0 concluded that a deal with Iran might not be reached as soon as some optimists expected, so it's better to keep Russian oil on the global market for another month to maintain global economic stability. Russia and the US' shared Indian partner gains the most from this.
The IMF recently assessed that India will remain the world'...

Bulgaria's Former Pro-Russian President Set For Landsllde Election Win
Just as Europe's neoliberal establishment was celebrating the downfall of Hungary's Orban and his replacement with... another hard-line ant- immigrationist, it got some bad news on Sunday, as Bulgaria's pro-Russian former President Rumen Radev was set for a runaway victory in the election and may even secure a parliamentary majority in the poorest EU state, exit polls showed, potentially ending years of weak coalition governments and altering the European Union member's foreign policy.

An updated exit poll conducted by Sofia-based Alpha Research showed Radev's Progressive Bulgaria with 44%, far ahead of the long-dominant GERB party, led by former Prime Minister Boyko Borissov, at 12.5%.
If confirmed, the performance, which outstripped opinion poll...

Huge Provocation: Russia-Installed Official In Ukraine Hosts Talks With North Korean Envoy
Both Kiev and Washington have been met with a new provocation related to North Korea's role in supporting Russia during the over four-year long Ukraine war, at a moment Russia continues to claim sovereignty over Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts.
Ukraine and its Western backers have vehemently rejected Russia's hold on Ukrainian territory, and efforts to annex and politically normalize the occupation. But now, for the first time a Russian-installed official in Kherson is hosting North Korean diplomats in an 'official' capacity.

US Treasury Extends Russian Crude Waiver Amid Supply Disruptions
Authored by Kimberley Hayek via The Epoch Times,
The Trump administration renewed a key sanctions waiver on April 17, allowing countries to purchase Russian oil stranded at sea, responding to urgent pressure from Asian nations battered by skyrocketing energy costs.
The move also reverses a position Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had stated two days earlier.
The Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control issued General License 134B on Friday, authorizing transactions tied to Russian crude and petroleum products loaded onto vessels as of that date.
The waiver runs through May 16 and replaces a previous license that expired on April 11.
The move comes after Bessent told reporters on Wednesday the administration would not extend the earlier waiver, signaling what appeared to be a firmer stance on Russian energy exports.
“As negotiations [with Iran] accelerate, Treasury wants to ensure oil is available to those wh...

Ukraine Urges Israel To Act Against Russian Ship Carrying 'Stolen' Grain To Haifa Port
Ukraine is pushing Israel to seize a grain shipment it says was looted from Russian-occupied territory as the war persists in the east.
At the moment it does not appear that Israel complied with any interdict of the vessel, also as reports say the cargo is already offloaded and gone.

Ukraine's government flagged the Russian vessel ABINSK, docking at Haifa, as part of Moscow's so-called shadow fleet, alleging that it is tied to operations used to "illegally export, transport, and sell stolen Ukrainian grain" and bankroll Moscow's war effort.
The saga has been featured in Ukrainian media, which says that despite a formal government-to-government request, Israeli authorities didn't stop the shipment.
Some 43,765 tonnes of wheat - loaded at Russia's Kavkaz port and believed to originate from Ukrainian regions controlled by the Russian military - was allowed to be unloaded.
