"How Russia Circumvents LNG Sanctions"
Shell companies and a shadow fleet:
The investigation into how Russia is trying to circumvent sanctions on the LNG market.
🔥In 2019, Russia started building the giant Arctic LNG-2 plant, capable of producing up to 20 million tons of the... Cont'd.

#Satellite footage suggests #Russia #ICBM launch test was a disaster
According to satellite photos, a Russian #Sarmat intercontinental #ballistic #missile probably detonated during a test earlier this month, raising questions about Russia’s #military capabilities & putting a dent in the Kremlin’s #nuclear saber rattling.

Here’s what we are reading today:
#Ukrainian drones destroyed a 30,000-ton ammunition depot in #russia 's Tver Region.
It contained Tochka-U and Iskander ballistic missiles which are difficult to shoot down.
Smoke from the fire is visible from space.

I'm also continuing my idea of 60 (or so) Enjoyable Evenings.
The fortieth subject within the #EnjoyableEvenings is #Russia
So this time I'll be looking for two 'albums' and one 'movie' that characterize the #MusicOf Russia.
Big boom
"State of Emergency Declared as Huge #Explosion Rocks #Russia’s Vladimir Region"
Vladimir Oblast is directly east of #Moscow
Lots of chatter as to cause (you can discard anything the #Russian govt says about it, or anything else really)
It was a very large explosion, probably larger than the 2020 Beirut Explosion
The depot was one of the largest warehouses in the Russian Federation: guided bombs, artillery shells, missiles, etc
All go boom
🥳
I read the serious discussions about ‘who eavesdropped on Ushakov and Dmitriev’ and can’t help but chuckle to myself.
All these deliberations about whether it was the NSA or GCHQ are based on the assumption that Ushakov had to use a secure means of communication. Had to… because why exactly?
Because politicians are renowned for their unwavering commitment to adhering to rules, including #OPSEC? But they are not.
Let us recall the US and European leaders who, in #Ukraine Kyiv in 2013, happily chatted on the phone and were recorded (‘Nuland–Pyatt call’).
Shortly afterwards, Sergei Glazyev from the #Russia presidential administration did the same and was recorded… by the new SBU (‘Glazyev tapes’, much less well-known but much more devastating).
In summary, if one can generalise the concept of high-level politics in #infosec matters, it is that those in power do not apply the rules to themselves and do not learn from their mistakes precisely because they are in power.
In short, Hanlon’s razor applies.
Here’s what we’re reading today:
After Russia’s 2022 invasion of #Ukraine, satellite images revealed unusual activity at a former Cold #War #bioweapons site near #Moscow.
Satellite images showed renovations and new buildings, possibly high-containment bio-labs.
#Russia denies this.

#Russia Internet shutdown allow lists:
in russia, mobile internet is heavily restricted. in some regions, access to non-whitelisted resources is blocked entirely; in others, the speed is throttled to an unusable 14 kb/s (sometimes even lower), or in the worst cases, a complete blackout where even whitelisted resources become unreachable.

You decide. Here are few things she’s said about Ukraine in the past.
🇷🇺 Explosions near #Russia's Vladivostok damaged a gas pipeline and destroyed a water pipeline that supplied military facilities in the area, an unnamed intelligence source told the Kyiv Independent on July 5.

下图，一个措辞准确的新闻。

克里姆林宫似乎对特朗普的疯狂推动有点不解，尤其是，它显然还没有准备好卷入这场动荡的漩涡。面对特朗普的猴儿急，它要求一点时间来做准备，但它似乎并不知道该如何“准备”才能避免它害怕的事情发生。
这里的细微差别在于，特朗普没有那么多的时间，他需要紧急推销他想要的议程，因为欧洲人也被惊呆了，还不知道如何应对这种压力，他们正试图组织起来，制定应对措施。
因此特朗普需要“盟友”，或者更准确地说，需要他向欧洲释放的下属/手套，迫使欧洲处理“次要问题”，将资源浪费到手套身上而不是特朗普本人身上。
特朗普愿意向他“最好的朋友”大普妞儿许诺天上的星星做项链，只为了让俄成为对付欧洲的鱼雷。
但要做到这一点，特朗普需要释放克里姆林宫的资源，而这些资源完全被与乌克兰的冲突所*占据。这才是特朗普需要不惜一切代价实现紧急停火的原因 —— 丫从来没有关心过乌克兰人，这点上切勿误会 ——这样克里姆林宫才能重新整合资源，开始威胁欧洲本身。
