What is astounding to nato supporters is, the right, and ability of a sovereign nation, to express its sovereign opinions.

Nato supporters come preloaded with software that any group Must be unipolar.

You must have meant United Nations Supporters.

United Nations Charter
The Charter of the United Nations is the founding document of the United Nations. It was signed on 26 June 1945, in San Francisco, at the conclusion of the United Nations Conference on International Organization, and came into force on 24 October 1945.

The United Nations can take action on a wide variety of issues due to its unique international character and the powers vested in its Charter, which is considered an international treaty. As such, the UN Charter is an instrument of international law, and UN Member States are bound by it. The UN Charter codifies the major principles of international relations, from sovereign equality of States to the prohibition of the use of force in international relations.

Article137

Legal status of the Area and its resources

1. No State shall claim or exercise sovereignty or sovereign rights over any part of the Area or its resources, nor shall any State or natural or juridical person appropriate any part thereof. No such claim or exercise of sovereignty or sovereign rights nor such appropriation shall be recognized.

Article139

Responsibility to ensure compliance and liability for damage

1. States Parties shall have the responsibility to ensure that activities in the Area, whether carried out by States Parties, or state enterprises or natural or juridical persons which possess the nationality of States Parties or are effectively controlled by them or their nationals, shall be carried out in conformity with this Part. The same responsibility applies to international organizations for activities in the Area carried out by such organizations.

2. Without prejudice to the rules of international law and Annex III, article 22, damage caused by the failure of a State Party or international organization to carry out its responsibilities under this Part shall entail liability; States Parties or international organizations acting together shall bear joint and several liability. A State Party shall not however be liable for damage caused by any failure to comply with this Part by a person whom it has sponsored under article 153, paragraph 2(b), if the State Party has taken all necessary and appropriate measures to secure effective compliance under article 153, paragraph 4, and Annex III, article 4, paragraph 4.

3. States Parties that are members of international organizations shall take appropriate measures to ensure the implementation of this article with respect to such organizations.

The United Nations was established by the Charter of the United Nations and Statute of the International Court of Justice.

In accordance with Article 110, the Charter entered into force on 24 October 1945, after ratification by the five permanent members of the Security Council and a majority of the other countries. Twenty-two countries subsequently deposited their instruments of ratification. The table below reflects the pattern of ratification: first the five permanent members, then the other countries that ratified by 24 October, and then the remaining countries.

Since 1945, some of the Founding Members have changed their names, others have been dissolved and new states have succeeded them.

Union of Soviet Socialist Republics 26 June 1945 24 Oct. 1945 Russian Federation

Empire's Twilight? Russia Loses Support in Its Own Backyard

Many observers believe a “great game” in terms of jockeying for power and influence is underway in post-Soviet countries, especially in Central Asia. Such analysis often characterizes this game as a zero-sum contest that Russia is currently losing. While there are signs this may be happening in some countries, the picture appears somewhat mixed, at least from the perspective of the “soft power” represented by public opinion of Russian leadership.

However, the general conclusion from Gallup’s 2022 leadership ratings is clear: In much of the region where Russia’s power and influence are greatest, its actions have seriously eroded its status and prestige. This seismic shift in public opinion may signal the twilight of Europe’s last empire.

US intelligence indicates Ukrainians may have launched drone attack on Kremlin

CNN — US officials have picked up chatter amongst Ukrainian officials blaming each other for a drone attack on the Kremlin earlier this month, contributing to a US assessment that a Ukrainian group may have been responsible, sources familiar with the intelligence told CNN.

The intercepts include some members of Ukraine’s military and intelligence bureaucracy speculating that Ukrainian special operations forces conducted the operation.

The chatter, combined with other intercepted communications of Russian officials blaming Ukraine for the attack and wondering how it happened, has led US officials to consider the possibility that a Ukrainian group was behind the incident on May 3. On that morning, two drones flew up toward the Kremlin’s Senate Palace and struck the top of the building.

Good news for Russia. Much better news for Ukraine

Dragon Capital raises GDP growth forecast for Ukraine to 3% in 2023

MOSCOW. May 23 (Interfax) - Dragon Capital investment company, one of the leaders on the Ukrainian market, has projected that Ukraine's GDP will increase by 3% in real terms in 2023, whereas previously it expected Ukraine's GDP to decline by 0.5%.

"We have upgraded our outlook: we expect GDP growth at 3% this year," Ukrainian media quoted Dragon Capital founder and CEO Tomas Fiala as saying in an interview with Radio NV.

Power outages stopped in mid-February, and economic results over the past few months are better than expected, Fiala said.

"And we hope that the economy will grow maybe even more than 3%," he said.

Dragon Capital told Ukrainian media that it would likely update its forecast for the exchange rate and inflation as well.

Ukraine's nominal GDP in dollars declined to $160 bln in 2022 from $200 billion in 2021, Fiala said.

"This is the best result over the past decade. It was larger only in 2021. It stood at $157 billion in 2020, but at $160 billion in 2022," he said.

As reported, Ukrainian Finance Minister Sergei Marchenko said at the end of last week Ukraine's GDP growth forecast in 2023 has been increased to 3.2%, while previously the government estimated it at 1%, and the National Bank has recently raised it from 0.3% to 2%.

Re: Ukraine Russia War

Postby adnj » May 26th, 2023, 8:48 am

Last year, on the advice of the US government, the G7 adopted a plan to cap the price paid to Russia for oil. The goal was to reduce the revenue received by Russia while enabling Russian oil to flow. The goal was also to minimize the impact on oil consumers from the war in Ukraine. Immediately following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the global price of oil surged. It has since come down sharply, thereby reducing the damage to Western economies. And the price cap has been effective in reducing Russian revenue.
Specifically, the International Energy Agency (IEA) and others report that Russia’s oil revenue was down 43% in March from a year earlier. This was despite the fact that the volume of oil sold had increased, hitting a record level in April. One result is that Russia’s government has changed the way it taxes oil production in order to claw back some of the lost revenue. Yet this might have the effect of limiting investment in new capacity. Moreover, the net loss of revenue to the Russian government likely damages its ability to wage war.

Aside from the price cap, the West has imposed sanctions that limit Russian access to global shipping and insurance services. Consequently, it is reported that Russia is spending money to build its own network of ships and insurance companies. It has significantly boosted the sale of oil to China and India, which together now account for 80% of Russian oil sales. The Deputy US Treasury Secretary recently said that “the Russian price cap is working and working extremely well. The money that they’re spending on building up this ecosystem to support their energy trade is money they can’t spend on building missiles or buying tanks. And what we’re going to continue to do is force Russia to have these types of hard choices.”

Drone strikes were reported in the city of Krasnodar in southern Russia overnight, with one explosion damaging buildings, local officials said, as videos circulated on social media showing the blasts.

Krasnodar's regional governor, Veniamin Kondratiev, said in a post on his Telegram channel that there were no casualties and that the incident is being investigated. He said Krasnodar Mayor Yevgeny Naumov is "on site."

There has been a notable rise in reports about attacks inside Russian territory in recent weeks, including a drone attack on the Kremlin on May 3 that Ukraine denied responsibility for.

More than 900 attacks on health care in Ukraine since Russian invasion began, WHO says
From CNN's Lauren Kent in London

There have been more than 900 attacks on health care in Ukraine since the Russian invasion began, according to the latest figures from the World Health Organization.

Of the 967 total attacks, 868 of them impacted medical facilities, WHO data shows. In total, strikes on health care in Ukraine have resulted in at least 97 deaths and 126 injuries since February 25, 2022.

Russia's attack on a medical facility in Dnipro city on Friday is not yet included in the WHO data or death toll, given that the organization's process for verifying attacks takes some time. The most recent attack on health care in Ukraine that is recorded by WHO occurred on May 7, 2023, and impacted a mobile clinic.

Putin's officials blame British Storm Shadow missiles for devastating long-distance Ukrainian strike on Russian-held Mariupol

The Kremlin has blamed Britain's Storm Shadow missiles for a devastating long-distance attack on war-torn Mariupol as Ukraine stages a fightback against its Russian occupiers.

Ukraine's once fiercely defended city, now in the Russian-held sector of Donetsk, reported two missile strikes on Friday, where a monthslong siege early in the war left much of the city in ruins.

Two successive strikes hit the besieged city, one of them allegedly hitting the Azovstal steel works where Ukraine forces once battled to fend off Russian attack.

Global renewable energy to leap by a third as Europe reduces reliance on Putin’s gas
Development of solar power projects continues to drive bulk of the uplift


The world’s renewable energy capacity is expected to jump by a third this year as Europe scrambles to reduce its dependence on Russian gas.

A record 107 gigawatts of capacity is expected to be brought online this year amid rapid investment in new wind and solar projects, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).

It is the largest annual increase ever, equivalent to all of the renewables deployed today in both Germany and Spain.

The increase should bring the world’s total supply of clean energy to 440 gigawatts.

The majority of the jump will come from solar panels, partly because of how quickly they can be deployed. Europe is now expected to build 40pc more than the IEA previously forecast.

The accelerated rollout comes after the European Union agreed a major overhaul of the Continent’s energy supplies in the wake of the Ukraine war, which saw Vladimir Putin “weaponise” Russia’s supply of pipeline gas.

That dam could go either way. If Crimea is occupied by Russia,, why would they blow it up?

But then this is war, and sometimes nothing makes sense.

Russia expected a 3 day capitulation of the entire Ukraine. It's been well over a year and not only have they not captured Kiev they also lack control over the entirety of any of the four oblasts they claimed. The most likely scenario from here on in is a frozen conflict and Russia would just be on a scorched earth policy as retribution to the Ukrainian people who have resisted them thus far. Crimea is just collateral.
