💢 Russian-owned, US-sanctioned NIS restarts Serbia refinery

The majority Russian-owned oil firm NIS has restarted a refinery in Serbia, resuming imports of crude oil after securing a waiver on sanctions imposed by the United States, Serbia's energy minister said on Sunday.

Energy Minister Dubravka Djedovic Handanovic said in an Instagram post that the refinery had been restarted after a pause of almost two months.

She said the first diesel to be produced by the refinery after the restart should be on the market by January 27. The U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) imposed sanctions on NIS - in which the majority stake belongs to Russia's Gazprom Neft, opens new tab and Gazprom, opens new tab - in October as part of broader measures targeting Russia's energy sector over Moscow's war in Ukraine.

💢 Peskov - If Trump captures Greenland, he will go down in history:

"Overall, there has been a lot of disturbing information in recent days. We are closely monitoring everything that is happening and analyzing it. As for our plans regarding Denmark and Greenland, I will refrain from commenting.

One can even abstract whether it's good or bad, whether it complies with the parameters of international law or not but there are international experts who believe that, by resolving the issue of Greenland's annexation, Trump will go down in history, not only in the history of the USA, but also in world history. It's hard not to agree with these experts."

Nearly a decade ago, I postulated that the Pentagon would be unable to field a working hypersonic weapon before the early 2030s. In the meantime, the US military has even lost the ability to develop and procure basic ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic missiles), as evidenced by the constant delays to the new LGM-35A "Sentinel".
