“❗️Western journalists from Le Monde and Spiegel suddenly found out that since February 2022, equipment for Arctic LNG 2 was shipped to Russia by companies from the UK, Italy and the USA.

Russian customs data shows that equipment worth $400 million has been supplied from Europe since February last year.

Thanks to this, despite the sanctions, Russia was able to complete the first production line of the project exactly on schedule - in July 2023.

Surprisingly, at the State Department, when choosing between anti-Russian sanctions and money, the leaders of Western companies chose money without remorse”

Not quite a proof that there were any military equipment or w/e in that post office warehouse, but this video proofs that UA is using Post office trucks to move army equipment. That logo on the side of the truck represent “UA Postservice” company

I know it's coming from your source so this is not directed at you.

I'll preface as saying, this was a huge fuck up and should be investigated fully. But lol at that last paragraph.

In the first paragraph they tell you it's the UK, Italy, and the US... but in the last paragraph they specify the State Dept., which is an American government entity, thereby singling the US out. They spice it up with the current trending trigger word, "western". The whole paragraph is conjecture.

They don't know the exact reason this happened but they dirty it up saying it was for financial gain over sanctioning Russia... which truth be told, entirely plausible because that's how governments roll sometimes. But they say this decisively as if they have proof then go on to project they did it with no remorse. How do they really know any of that shit? lol

I see this same style of reporting in many sources, on all sides of every fence we are all currently paying attention to. It has me saying WTF every time. This is similar to some of the other clairvoyant dialogue we have (or had) 'round these parts. Putting words in all of our mouths and predicting the future.

Having said all that, I didn't read the article cause I couldn't find it on that link. So ignore all this if I missed something and misread.

All I can say WM…before posting this I actually searched for this article on the website of that media. And only when I found it, I copy/paste the OP. This guys usually don’t lie, but obviously they have a proRussian spice to it

The same TC posted about that Turkish official who cited Hitler about Jews and that world will be a better place without them. I was like Wtf…no way. So I actually ran through translator his all speech and he damn sure said it…so again, I copy/paste OP and posted


Edit - what you mean you couldn’t find it on that link? I just clicked on it and it worked

Russian anti-war activist dies after ‘fall from height’
Olga Nazarenko was well-known for her stubborn protests against the Kremlin

A Russian anti-war protester who became a symbol of resistance to the Kremlin has died in a mysterious fall.

Local media said that Olga Nazarenko had now died in hospital after a “fall from a height” two weeks ago that was described as an accident.

Several Kremlin opponents have been killed in falls and an anti-war activist in Rostov, southern Russia, also died this year in police custody from alleged torture.

On Facebook, tributes blamed Nazarenko’s enemies for her death.

“Cursed are the cannibals who devour our finest,” one person wrote. Another said: “Our unbending Olga. Did they kill you?”

Friends also speculated that she had fallen from a tree.

Nazarenko was well-known for her stubborn anti-war protests and had featured in several opposition media reports and videos.

Attacked in the street
She had staged weekly one-person protests, despite being regularly detained by the police. She had also been attacked in the street and had lost her job as an associate professor at a local medical university because of her protests.

Hundreds of thousands of Russians have fled since the Kremlin banned anti-war protests but Nazarenko, who was married with an adult daughter and a young son, told the US-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty that she felt that it was her duty to stay.

“Russia is my country, not just those in power and their supporters. I won’t let anyone drive me out of my country,” she said last year.

The Kremlin has shifted Russian society and its economy onto a war footing since it launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022, indoctrinating people through a wall of propaganda.

This includes promoting former fighters from the Kremlin’s Wagner mercenary unit, which recruited heavily from Russian prisons. Wagner veterans now flaunt their war medals in communities they previously terrorised as murderers and thieves.

This week, a school in the Nizhny Novgorod region of Russia said that it had hosted a Wagner veteran to talk about his experiences of fighting on the front lines.

A photo on the school’s social media channel showed the Wagner mercenary veteran wearing a full combat uniform, a balaclava and three medals standing in the classroom. In front of him was a table with a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher and then rows of children.

The school described the Wagner veteran as a war hero but failed to highlight, unlike opposition reporters, that he had also been convicted of at least two murders before he joined Wagner.

“The class meeting was very popular with seventh-grade students,” the school said.

‘Attritional grind’
In Ukraine’s eastern Kharkiv region, a Russian missile hit a post office sorting centre, killing at least six people and injuring 16. On Ukraine’s front lines, the British Ministry of Defence said that a Russian attack at Advika, a town near Bakhmut, had descended into an attritional grind.

It also said that the Russian army had now sustained up to 290,000 casualties, dwarfing the Kremlin’s war in Afghanistan, which lasted a decade through the 1980s and killed around 20,000 Soviet soldiers.

The Russian army has copied Wagner and has also been signing up convicts from Russian prisons since the start of the year to plug gaps in front-line units but now recruiters are targeting migrants, often from Central Asia.

On Friday, Russian riot police raided a mosque in a Moscow commuter town and forced the men to join the army.

link is a paid article but here's some more from another source.

Despite sanctions related to the invasion of Ukraine, Russia's Arctic LNG 2 project is on track to go live at the end of this year, according to Chinese state oil and gas company CNOOC. The first liquefaction train arrived at its destination in the Gulf of Ob last week and is already in commissioning.

The giant LNG project initially relied on Western technology providers like Technip and Siemens, but these firms had to back out due to sanctions last year, taking their extensive experience in sophisticated energy projects with them.

The first train was about 90 percent complete when they departed in 2022, but developer Novatek has been able to get the first liquefaction plant finished with the substitution of Chinese suppliers.

China has a significant investment in Arctic LNG 2, both as a financial backer and as a future customer. CNOOC holds a 10 percent share, and CNPC holds an additional 10 percent. France's TotalEnergies and Japan's Mitsui hold another 10 percent each.

The massive plant was built by mostly foreign workers (Chinese) atop a concrete gravity-based structure (GBS), which was floated from Murmansk to the Arctic port of Sabetta in July and intentionally sunk onto a prepared permanent site last week. Commissioning is under way for the first plant now, and the two additional plants are under construction.

According to Novatek executive Maxim Mikhalev, the second train's GBS has been finished and topsides are under construction at the firm's yard in Murmansk.

Overall completion was at about 80 percent as of late April, putting train two on track for delivery to the Gydan Peninsula in 2024. The shoreside infrastructure at the port of Ultrenneye is nearly fully complete, the company says.

Some Ukrainian leaders have called for full Western sanctions on Russian LNG projects. Western secondary sanctions - that is, measures targeting all participants in a sanctioned activity, regardless of nationality - would help cut into Russian state revenues, according to Ukraine Parliament member Andrii Zhupanin.

So far, Ukraine's allies have refrained from using secondary sanctions, which can have serious unintended side effects on markets and neutral nations.

"Secondary sanctions are necessary to compensate for an obvious weakness of existing primary provisions that preclude U.S. and EU companies from participating in Russian LNG infrastructure buildout, which is implicitly inviting Chinese companies to take their place," Zhupanin argued in a recent op-ed.

"The introduction of secondary sanctions on Russia’s LNG sector in full swing, in particular, to force a full stop of the Arctic LNG-2 project, is the obvious necessary step that the EU and the US must implement to uphold [their] stated security and climate policies."

One day after police in Paris said an investigation had been launched into her possible poisoning, exiled Russian television journalist Marina Ovsyannikova, who staged a high-profile protest against the war in Ukraine, wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, on October 13 that blood tests show no evidence of poisoning. Reporters Without Borders said on October 12 that Ovsyannikova suffered what was described as a “malaise” outside her Paris apartment. Ovsyannikova gained international recognition last year when she interrupted a live Russian television news broadcast to protest Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
