While the West struggles with $115 oil, Moscow finds new customers
Part 1: The Perfect Moment
There are moments when reality speaks louder than any propaganda. Today is such a moment.
Oil has broken through the $115 mark. The Strait of Hormuz is effectively closed. Qatar cannot deliver. Europe trembles before the next winter. And in the middle of this chaos comes an announcement from Moscow so perfectly timed it could be a textbook example:
Russia will redirect LNG deliveries previously destined for Europe to Asia – to China, India, Thailand, the Philippines.
Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said it openly: "Our companies are considering, without waiting for new restrictions from Brussels, signing new long-term contracts with our partners."
Part 2: The Message to the Hardliners
For months, certain circles have demanded: Russia must do more, strike harder, escalate further. Those pushing Russia toward more war overlook something fundamental:
Russia is already winning. Just not in the way they imagine.
While the West ...
386 drone-type aircraft were destroyed by air defense forces from 08:0 to 23:0 yesterday.

▪️ On the Sumy direction, the Northern Group of Forces is engaged in heavy battles in the areas of Volchansk, Kucherovka, the settlements of Bachevsk, Sukhodol, Novaya Sich ...
