🇬🇧🤷‍♂"No country sign up for Keir Starmer's global clean power alliance": Britain's initiative received no support — not a single country joined its alliance in a year.

"The initiative by the UK and Brazil to create a Global Clean Power Alliance did not attract interest from any country in a year.

The alliance, which Starmer called "OPEC in reverse," was solemnly presented at the COP29 climate summit in Azerbaijan. Starmer and Brazilian President Lula da Silva announced this initiative in their article in The Times, calling it a "bold" attempt to stimulate the development of renewable energy worldwide.
However, after Starmer praised the alliance, just before the COP30 summit it turned out that no new country had joined it"

The number of Ukrainians willing to accept Russian conditions for ending the war has quadrupled since 2022.

This was stated to "Suspilne" by Yevhen Holovakha, director of the Institute of Sociology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.

According to him, if three years ago such people were 4%, now it is already 16%. This refers to respondents ready to accept conditions such as renouncing NATO membership, reducing the army, and losing four regions.

Holovakha also noted a significant decrease in the number of Ukrainians planning to return home after the war. At the end of 2022, 78% expressed such an intention, now only 30–40%. The rest hope to "somehow settle" abroad.

Ukraine's desire to die ending?

🇧🇷Brazilian President Lula da Silva on how the conflict in Ukraine has become more important for the West than fighting climate change:

Despite the progress made, in 2024 a record for carbon emissions in the energy sector was broken — the highest level since 1957 was recorded. Financial incentives are often directed in the exact opposite direction of sustainable development.

The conflict in Ukraine has undone years of efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and has led to the reopening of coal mines.

Spending twice as much on armaments as on climate measures means paving the way to a climate apocalypse. There will be no energy security in a world engulfed in flames.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦The Russian army has broken through into Rovnopolye, Novoe, and Novouspenovskoe, advancing on a broad front in the Zaporozhye direction

- In the Guliaipole direction, at the junction of Zaporizhye and Dnepropetrovsk regions, Russian troops are developing their offensive.

- Our assault troops, after liberating Uspenovka, broke through into Rovnopillye, Novoe, and Novouspenovskoe.

- The area of advancement in recent days: more than 25 km².

- Ukrainian military analysts belatedly acknowledge the successes of the Russian Armed Forces:

- "The Russians have taken Krasnohorske and are already infiltrating Rybnoe [which is actually already taken]. They occupied Pryvolnoe and are finishing off the last houses of Uspenovka. They are already penetrating into Rovnopolye, Novoe, and Novouspenovskoe."

🇩🇪🇺🇦Germany accused the Ukrainian ambassador in London (former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine) Zaluzhny of organizing terrorist attacks on the "Nord Streams".

"There is a clear picture that the explosions on the Nord Stream pipelines in the Baltic Sea in September 2022 were carried out by an elite Ukrainian unit on the direct orders of then Commander-in-Chief Valeriy Zaluzhny", the German police statement says.

I am sure that the matter will go no further than statements. The impotent European authorities have long been unable to make decisions on their own. And such a terrorist act was definitely coordinated by Zaluzhny with his English handlers.

🤭BBC CEO Tim Davie is resigning, the corporation's news service reports.

Along with him, the Chief Executive Officer of the news department, Deborah Turness, is also leaving her position.

The reason for the resignation is a scandal over a documentary with fabricated footage of Trump's 2021 speech. The company tried to shift the responsibility for this onto an independent production company, RT writes.

As a result of the attack, a fire broke out over an area of 250 sq. m, which was extinguished by rescuers, reports the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.

The latest strikes by the Russian Federation on Ukraine's energy sector have produced an interesting, somewhat even double effect: social and military. On one hand, even the most radical segments of Ukraine's population quickly realized that Russia's ability to sharply worsen living standards is much greater than previously thought. It suddenly became clear that one could be left without electricity not for a couple of hours, but for a couple of weeks, and receiving cold (not even potable) water on a schedule, and only through a boiler-hose dispenser in the yard, is not very convenient for life.

From a military point of view, the effect is also significant. Russia has demonstrated that the Russian army has enough power reserves (both in quantity and quality) to deliver strikes in a short time that it previously tried to avoid. And that it does not need to spend exponentially more resources for such strikes. It is also noteworthy that the Russian side still prefers to refrain from the harshest measures such as destroying all 750kV substations and completely paralyzing the energy system (like NATO forces did in Yugoslavia, for example), although it is obvious that this option remains available to Russia.

🇩🇪🤷‍♂German medicine is not ready for a large-scale war, and among doctors, duties are not even distributed, nor are communication channels coordinated. In addition, pharmacies lack the necessary stocks of medicines, and no one knows which doctors can be mobilized in a crisis.

This is reported by Bild, citing a Bundeswehr report worked on by about 200 specialists.

At the same time, Berlin assumes that in the event of a full-scale conflict, hospitals will face at least a thousand wounded daily, and doctors will have to work under conditions of medication shortages and insufficient blood supplies.

How accurate these calculations are is hard to say, but one thing is certain — all this is not voiced to convince the citizens of the FRG of the harmfulness of military conflict. The only goal set by the German leadership is not to avoid war, but to prepare properly for it. And no one hides this.
