Interesting dilemma for the Russian navy. Until now, tankers could avoid long-distance weapons by leaving the whole Black Sea between them and the Ukrainian coast. Now that’s not sufficient any longer so two equally unpleasant options: 1) close the southern oils export route and lose billions daily

Europe is waking up

Wagner (now Africa Corps) is makeing a journey of about 1,200km (Niamey-Lomé), crossing territory dominated or infiltrated by JNIM and ISIS-Sahel escorting a shipment of 1,000 tons of uranium. Its “yellow cake” uranium that can’t really be enriched for weapons use. But still, the story is nuts.

They call them “peace negotiations.” Witkoff: “We will take part in the peace negotiations.” Ukraine: “And who will represent the American side?”

Meanwhile in Russia: head of RT Margarita Simonyan said that in light of what is happening right now, she was right to rejoice about Trump's election. She also claimed that Russia is the best country in the world and all other countries are jealous of it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQT5...

Zu glauben, dass in der Belohnung von Krieg ein Weg zum Frieden liegt, ist eine blanke Illusion. Es kann vielleicht zu einer taktischen Kriegspause führen, aber die wird nicht halten. Denn wer Krieg belohnt, der erntet nicht Frieden, sondern nur noch mehr Krieg.

Russian linked shadow fleet tanker Mersin (IMO 9428683) currently sinking off West Africa. Fog of war, but seems it was attacked, probably by a USV, in past few days. Third picture unladen for reference so you can see how low in the water it now is

Oil tanker M/T Mersin is sinking off Senegal after visiting Russia's Taman port in August.

Tankers vanished from Novorossiysk port oil terminal with only tugboats remaining visible on satellite images, Crimean Wind monitoring group reports.

Ukrainian and US delegations moved to closed-format talks.

great thread on recruitment costs for russia 🧵

🤔 no smoking.

When an allegedly US draft peace agreement includes a clause about the US mediating between NATO and Russia, and if the president keeps talking about NATO as if the US isn't part of it, this shouldn't be much of a shock. The US is ceasing to be a NATO ally.

The HK authorities arrested a student on sedition charges because he made a petition asking the government to 1) ensure accommodation for displaced residents; 2) setup independent investigation; 3) review construction supervision system 4) probe regulatory neglect. hongkongfp.com/2025/11/30/h...

It is a deep irony that the US is turning away from decades of alliances which ensured a measure of global peace and prosperity, particularly for the US, and is sacrificing it all in the name of short-term profit for a few people. This path is a net loss for the US long-term.

🇺🇦 air defences: re-cap for Friday 28 PM+night: ~350 Shahed attack of which 35 leaked thru the defences - 1/5 Kinzhal down 4/4 Iskander-M down 12/23 Kh-101/Iskander-K down 2/5 Kh-59/69 down ( 19 missiles down out of 37)

Also. Next time someone tells you Ru is invading Ukraine preemptively to stop it from joining NATO, show them this and laugh in their face. Blaming these genocidal politics on Ru feeling insecure is peak ignorance or gaslighting.

Die Schäden sind eher überschaubar. Bei dem prächtigen Feuer hätte ich auch mehr Rauchspuren erwartet. Womöglich Absicht - Schiff muss in Hafen geschleppt werden, sinkt aber nicht (was potenziell eine Schweröl-Lache bedeuten würde)

Upheaval in Norway. Left/centre parties won the election this year, but they haven’t been able to agree a budget. The Green Party left the negotiations today.

👀 Russia will spend at least $166 billion on the war against Ukraine in 2026: Putin signed the budget law. This is a third of Russia's entire annual budget and, probably, the largest military spending since the USSR. Russia has cut social spending.

Three 🇷🇺 Tu-22M3 long-range bombers performed a more than five-hour mission from the Kola Peninsula, entering the Baltic Sea air space through the narrow corridor between 🇫🇮 and 🇪🇪, before turning north again after flying near the 🇸🇪 island of Gotland.

1/3 We are one verge of, if not already in, a new phase of the Black Sea naval war. The earlier status quo has clearly benefited both sides but things started slipping on both shores some time ago, indicating shifting calculations, priorities and objectives.

Die wirtschaftliche Nutzung der €140 Mrd. eingefrorenen russischen Staatsvermögens wäre ein enorm wichtiger Schritt. Sie wäre nicht nur eine klare Demonstration des europäischen Willens, sondern würde die ukrainische Verteidigung massiv und auf lange Zeit stärken.

The Lukashenka regime sentenced Vasil Verameichyk, Kalinouski Regiment fighter who defended Ukraine, to 13 yrs harsh prison. He travelled to Vietnam and was extradited from there to #Belarus.

Putin bietet an, Europa schriftlich zu versichern, dass er nicht angreifen will. Naja, das Völkerrecht einzuhalten würde ja völlig ausreichen. Wir brauchen keine neuen Schriebe, sondern lediglich ein Russland, dass das Völkerrecht einhält. Putins Taten sprechen für sich.
