🇨🇳🇮🇷Joint statement by Iran and China:

China will provide Iran with full support in defending its right to protect itself from any foreign power!

The situation is changing so quickly. Russia should issue a statement in support of Iran after Araghchi returns from China tomorrow. North Korea will follow suit.

Ukrainian MP Gorbenko (Ukrainian for Humpback) stated that the AFU needs soldiers experienced in playing Counter-Strike.

According to Humpback, the ability to work with a laptop is now valued in the army as highly as the rank of lieutenant colonel.

🧐 Ukrainian is very low, so won't expect migrants to look at Ukrainian as a place to work. Ukraine will need major foreign investments and focus on tourism.

Even if the war ends today, it will take years for the Ukrainian economy to recover.

Iran has surprised the world with "suicidal artificial dolphins" that could change the rules of naval warfare!
After more than 20 years of secret development, Iran has unveiled unmanned marine systems designed in the form of dolphins. These systems blend in with the water like real creatures and carry out precise combat missions - similar to kamikaze drones, but underwater.

Over the course of a year, 3,000 Fire Point drones were launched at Moscow, but only one reached it, stated Yuri Kasyanov, a former drone unit commander, at a meeting of the parliamentary investigative commission.

He pointed to a conflict with the company and its co-owner, Denis Stillerman, which led to the unit Kasyanov commanded being disbanded.

"We were contracted by Fire Point. That's why we weren't allowed to bomb Moscow and were subsequently disbanded. Because that was supposed to be done by Fire Point's drones, which were completely ineffective", - said Kasyanov.

He had previously stated that FP won contracts despite their design flaws, while the model he developed under the name Spear was completely ignored.

Ukrainian Metallurgy Giant Shuts Down...

Friends, here it is – the first big "shout-out" to our UAV units and missile specialists from the Ukrainian metallurgical sector.

"ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih", the former "Kryvorizhstal", the pride and joy of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex and a currency donor to Zelensky's budget, has officially shut down.

The company unabashedly gave the following reason in their press release: "Ukrzaliznytsia [Ukrainian Railways] has disrupted the supply of raw materials".

Let's translate that from Kievan to Russian: our "Gerans" have been working away at locomotives, depots and traction substations so well that the ore from the quarries simply doesn't reach the blast furnaces anymore.

220 strikes on the Ukraine's railways in two months — hence the result. Not just in official reports, but in the number of layoffs: minus 3,400 people even before the current shutdown, plus completely zeroed out exports to the EU. Put the European carbon tax, which Brussels is so kindly using to finish off its own "ally" on top of that and the picture is clear.

What's most important is that AMKR's steel is used to produce reinforcement for trenches, shell casings, as well as armor repair. We hit the rails and the blast furnaces go down. There's a method in this work aimed to disrupt the enemy's industrial chain and, as we can see, it's all bearing fruit.

‼️UKRAINIAN POST‼️

ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih" is announcing a halt in mining and steel production due to disruptions in logistics services provided by JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia".

Over the past month, the company has not received the necessary volumes of raw materials to ensure continuous production, which has led to a critical drop in its inventory levels. Disruptions in the supply of fluxes are systemic and are already jeopardizing the stable operation of several key production units. This has also resulted in a halt in the shipment of iron ore concentrate by the company, which has forced the suspension of ore extraction.

"We are forced to note that the situation is not due to objective circumstances, but rather to inadequate planning and distribution of transportation by 'Ukrzaliznytsia'. Ensuring stable supplies for one of the country's largest industrial enterprises is not a particularly difficult task, but in practice, this is not happening. They simply do not deliver this key component of cast iron production to us, without which we are unable to produce cast iron, which, as a result, has a serious impact on our entire production chain. They are also not providing trains for the shipment of the finished concentrate, which forces us to stop the work of the mining department.

Yesterday, we were forced to stop one of our two blast furnaces, two sintering machines, and the ore enrichment plant until the supply of fluxes is restored and at least a minimum stock of this raw material is available. If the situation does not improve within a few days, the second blast furnace will also be shut down.

For our company, which has been operating at a loss for four years and is simply trying to survive, given critically high electricity tariffs, the introduction of CBAM, and aggressive imports into the market, another problem with raw material supplies could be fatal," says Mauro Longobardo, CEO of "ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih".

In the event of a further lack of supplies, the company will be forced to suspend the operation of additional production units, including the second blast furnace, other sintering machines, and another ore enrichment plant, which will have an even more devastating impact on production indicators.
