The Economist magazine believes that the opening of China's borders after three years of coronavirus lockdown will be the biggest economic event of 2023, which will affect global demand and lead to higher prices in the world, including energy.

Analysts believe that China's economy may still shrink in the first quarter, but economic activity will pick up sharply as soon as Chinese demand for goods, services, and raw materials recovers.
As a result, GDP growth in the first quarter of 2024 may be more than 10% compared to the same period in 2023. Thus, China can independently provide a significant part of the global economic growth during this period.

At the same time, in many countries(particularly in the EU countries) this could lead to higher inflation and interest rates, as well as higher global energy prices.

Ukraine vowed to regularly attack Russia

The head of Ukrainian intelligence, Kirill Budanov, has promised new strikes on Russian territory, Gazeta reports.

“Ukraine may be preparing something,” Polish General Tomasz Drewniak commented in an interview with ABC News. However, she cannot count on the help of the West. She will have to use "for retribution" weapons of her own production. Otherwise, Russia will say that it was attacked by NATO.

Frankfurter Rundschau - Russian Zircon hypersonic missiles have become a nightmare for the West:

“For Western military strategists, hypersonic missiles are a nightmare. Unlike other missile systems, projectiles can still be controlled even after they have been fired. This combination of controllability and speed makes them virtually invulnerable to anti-aircraft systems.

Ukrainian sources report an outbreak of tuberculosis in the AFU, caused by the virtual absence of military medical commission during mobilisation.

Part 1

The main reason of this outbreak is the fact that even ill men are drafted, and also the absence of an appropriate medical care within the troops.
The soldiers assume that they are going to die anyway. However, Bankova's media technologists are grasping at the issue, trying to blame Zaluzhny for what is happening.

 It must be said that their efforts do not pass without leaving a trace the authority of the "Butcher of Bakhmut" (a nickname coined by Bankova and successfully spread among the masses) is rapidly declining in the Ukrainian armed formations. Ze-Office probably does not understand what the consequences of this fact might be. By the way, Zelensky's credibility is not growing either.

Ukrainian sources report an outbreak of tuberculosis in the AFU, caused by the virtual absence of military medical commission during mobilisation.

Part 2

Despite the fact that in Soledar AFU continues it's fierce resistance, more and more Ukrainian sources claim that the town will have to be abandoned after all.  And responsibility for this, as well as for the subsequent collapse of the front, Bankova will try to place the full responsibility on Zaluzhny.


It is extremely unpleasant for the Kiev propagandists who have assured that the Ukrainian armed forces will take the offensive as soon as the ground starts to freeze, that everything will happen exactly the other way round. And intensive combat operations will also begin in the fields, where the capabilities of the Ucranians are even lower than in urban areas.

 In fact, the only hope the AFU has is with the Humvees and the additional infantry reserves, which are currently being hastily poured into the still occupied territories of the DPR in an attempt to halt the advance of the Russian army.

Ukrainian sources confirm large-scale arrivals in Kramatorsk. And they report that "something high-precision" was used and that there was a large-scale detonation of the BK. There is also speculation that air defence systems were hit. No casualty figures have been reported, but it is said to be very high.
