❗️Rybar:

Ukrainian special services were preparing an assassination attempt on the son of the former Russian Prosecutor General Igor Chaika. The plans of the Deputy Head of the SBU Oleksandr Poklad were thwarted thanks to the joint work of the FSB and the SVR.

Chaika Jr. is the one who, on the Russian side, is essentially responsible for prisoner exchanges. Therefore, the Ukraine's desire to eliminate him is nothing other than an intention to completely stop the entire exchange process.

And this best illustrates the plans of the Kyiv regime to wage a "war to the last Ukrainian" in which it is ready to very easily sacrifice its prisoners and their relatives. Needless to say, in such conditions, the authorities of the so-called Ukraine are also not interested in ceasefires.

That is, after the murder (which would have gone unnoticed by the Western media), the Ukrainians would have simply claimed that it was the Russians who were disrupting the exchanges and everyone would have believed them.

I think that was the logic behind it.

◾ Ukrainian POW Anton Mermerin: we were sent like meatshields:

- 'We were sent like meatshields,' said the POW about actions of the AFU command. 'They say there are no losses but the losses are definitely great.'

◾As Mermerin said, we was drafted because deceived, namely, his place of employment received a letter explained the need to visit the enlistment offices to clarify his data and in 20 minutes he underwent a medical examination and sent to the unit.

Always stand up for the truth.

Even if you have to stand alone.

The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will h♤te those who speak it and embrace those who perpetuate its lies.

In a world filled with chaos and madness, I know for a fact that I am not mad.

🇿🇼🇷🇺🇨🇳 Zimbabwe owes an unpayable debt to Russia and China for their help in liberating the country, the president says

President Emmerson Mnangagwa made the statement while speaking in Harare at the opening ceremony of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Square. He noted that the Zimbabwean people’s struggle for freedom and independence would not have succeeded without the help and solidarity of Russia and China.

The event is being held at Liberation City, where a monument will later be erected to honor, Russia, China, and SADC countries' support for Zimbabweans' struggle against the white minority regime in what was then Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe).

Liberation City is a 100-hectare complex in western Harare that will house the African Liberation Museum, other research and educational institutions, recreational facilities and business centers.

Mnangagwa said the Zimbabwean government has decided to allocate one hectare of land each to all countries that contributed to the country's freedom to build a monument to their struggle heroes at the site of Liberation City.

The first monument in Africa dedicated to the victory of the USSR in the Great Patriotic War, during WWII, will be opened on the territory of the complex.

🔥The Evolution of Money: From Barter to Bitcoin and Beyond—Why Monero is the Next Step🔥

The journey of money spans millennia—from the rudimentary bartering systems of 4,000 years ago to the advent of gold coinage and the eventual shift to paper money and digital transactions. Each evolution has brought us closer to a more efficient and scalable system, culminating in the creation of Bitcoin, which many see as the digital gold of our era.

The video brilliantly captures this historical progression, explaining how each step was a technological revolution in its own right. But while Bitcoin has revolutionized money by providing a transparent, decentralized system, it's not the final step in this evolution. The public ledger, while innovative, exposes all transactions to scrutiny, leaving much to be desired in terms of privacy. And as the video outlines, the benefits of systems like using gold or cash lie in their ability to resist arbitrary government censorship—something Bitcoin, despite its strengths, remains vulnerable to.

As we stand on the brink of a new era, where central banks are pushing towards Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs)—currencies designed not just to issue money but to control how it's used—the need for a truly private and censorship-resistant alternative becomes paramount.

This is where Monero (XMR) takes the narrative to its next logical conclusion. Monero builds on the groundbreaking principles of Bitcoin and addresses its shortcomings, offering true privacy, fungibility, and decentralized security. Unlike Bitcoin, Monero ensures that your transactions are completely untraceable, balancing the need for privacy with the careful management of supply to maintain its value. Monero’s design ensures that your financial sovereignty remains intact, free from the prying eyes of both governments and corporations. In a world where CBDCs could dictate when, where, and how you spend your money, Monero stands as the ultimate form of financial freedom.

Bitcoin will always have its place as digital gold, but following the very logic laid out in the evolution of money, Monero represents the next step—the Money Revolution. Monero is not just another cryptocurrency; it’s the technological advancement that secures your financial freedom in the face of increasing surveillance and control.

🚀 Join the Monero Revolution—where your financial freedom is non-negotiable, and privacy is a fundamental right.

Russian gas supplies to world markets may grow by 2.4 times.

Analysts at Yakov and Partners, together with the Roscongress Foundation, expressed the opinion that the share of the Russian Federation in the global energy balance will decrease from 8.7% to 8.1% by 2050. At the same time, the volume of oil supplies will decrease by 25%, but gas supplies will increase by 2.4 times. The researchers proposed two scenarios.
The baseline scenario assumes a 10% reduction in oil supplies by 2030, while gas exports, on the contrary, will grow by 48%. This scenario proceeds from the full loading of both Power of Siberia pipelines, building up its own ice fleet and overcoming the logistical constraints of the Arctic and the Far East.
The second scenario comes from accelerated deglobalization. According to this scenario, oil supplies will decrease by 37.5% by 2050, and gas supplies will grow by 83%. This option will be due to a lack of infrastructure and technology. The researchers also suggest that the Russian Federation will be slow to replace fossil fuel sources [a fast transition would be senseless as Russia has all fossil fuels it needs at a cheap price].
The horizon of 2050 is a fairly distant period. With full respect for the work done by colleagues, we note that such long-term forecasts, with all the good faith of researchers, cannot take into account the probabilities that have not yet appeared, especially in such a dynamic time as now. Was it possible to accurately predict the current realities in 1999? Only partially and in general terms. Nevertheless, some long-term trends are quite amenable to analysis.
In particular, there is a trend towards the dominance of gas over oil and a small, but still growing, "green generation". This was not news for Russia — our gas projects are already developing very actively, including the liquefaction of natural gas.
The specific growth/decline figures will depend on the further development of the international situation.
