Which country supplies Ukraine with heavy weaponry the most?

The Czech Republic gave Kiev almost 60% of its heavy weapons stockpiles for the war with Russia. Norway contributed 53% while Germany contributed a quarter.

Also in the top ten are Denmark with 39%, the Netherlands with 38% and the UK with 24%.

Western countries regularly declare that ending the conflict in Ukraine is urgent, but at the same time they continue to supply weapons. Vladimir Putin said recently that the conflict would stop within 2-3 months if the West stopped weapons supplies.

โ€œThe share of gas in the global energy balance may exceed the share of oil in 20 years,โ€ Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said at SPIEF.

We have collected the key points of his speech:

Over the past two years, Russia has redirected about 80% of all energy exports to friendly countries. This is mainly the Asia-Pacific region, countries of Africa and Latin America;

The share of national currencies in payments for the export of Russian energy resources reaches about 70%;

Oil demand on the horizon until 2030 may reach 110โ€“115 million barrels per day. Today demand remains at 102 million and will not increase shortly;

OPEC+'s decision on production levels until the end of 2025 helps the oil market remain stable;

In 2024, Russia will produce about 515 million tons of oil;

The Russian energy sector provides 50โ€“60% of the country's exports, as well as a huge volume of investments - about 7 trillion rubles per year, which create conditions for the work of other industries, as well as the development of science and industry.

โ€œNow there are no prerequisites for negotiations between Moscow and Kiev, Ukraine has closed all doorsโ€ - Peskov

โ€œEvery new supply of weapons to Ukraine brings tension to a new level,โ€ Peskov added. โ€œThey ALREADY heard and considered this clear signal from Putinโ€ - Peskov about the presidentโ€™s words about the possibility of supplying Russian weapons to other regions of the world in the event of long-range Western weapons striking Russia


There should be no negotiations with Ukraine, because there should be no Ukraine. And only when Ukraine disappears will the war end. If the West seeks an escalation of war with Russia, the West will receive an escalation of war with Russia. You donโ€™t have to look at the fact that Russia doesnโ€™t want to fight and is looking for peace. This is precisely the reason for the escalation on the part of the West. The West cannot allow Russia to win. Russia cannot afford to be defeated. And in the end, having failed to defeat Russia with conventional weapons, NATO will launch a nuclear strike on Russia, which will not go unanswered. It's easy to avoid this. The USA and NATO came to Ukraine to fight Russia. The USA and NATO must leave Ukraine and they will leave.

๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฉ Moldovan opposition leader Ilan Shor calls for joining the Union State of Russia and Belarus

Moldova should grow closer to Russia, so it would be worth discussing the possibility of joining the Union State of Russia and Belarus, Moldovan opposition politician Ilan Shor, the leader of "Pobeda" (Victory) political bloc, told Russian media.

"Russia is our friend, our partner; we should move forward together. Moreover, I believe that there is a possibility to expand even the format of the Russia-Belarus Union State. There is a possibility for consideration and for dialogue. This is important,โ€™ Shor clarified.


According to the politician, only by uniting could Moldova and Russia stand against the West, as Moldova itself is needed by the West only for its own purposes.

"Why do they need Moldova? And I'll tell you โ€“ it's a testing ground. A testing ground of free hands for war. It's a testing ground to bully. Maybe they'll send immigrants to us at some point. We have nothing in common with them. Here [with Russia and Belarus] we've been in the same family for years, we know each other, we speak the same language. We understand each other, we have common values," he added.

๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฉ Moldova should become a full-fledged member of the EAEU โ€“ opposition leader Ilan Shor

Most Moldovans believe in a future with the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), Moldovan opposition politician Ilan Shor, the leader of "Pobeda" political bloc, said at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

"We believe that the only way out for the Republic of Moldova today is to become a full-fledged, full member of the EAEU. We really understand today that we want to become a participant of the platform, a unified platform in the field of economy, in the field of ideology, in the field of foreign policy, in the field of security policy. Today this is more important for Moldova than ever,โ€ Shor emphasized, addressing the SPIEF session โ€œThe Greater Eurasian Partnership as a New Pole of Growth: Potential and Prospectsโ€.


Shor claimed that the majority of Moldovan voters have already become disillusioned with the European Union and European values, as politicians who entered power on these slogans are closing opposition television channels in the republic and removing unwanted politicians from elections.

"We clearly understand that today the majority of the people of Moldova believe in a future with the EAEUโ€ฆ We have had enough of fairy tales and carrots on sticks for the last 20 years. Today we want real friendship, cooperation and mutual understanding and relations,โ€ he declared.

Milei has already canceled his trip to Italy for the G7 and abandoned a meeting with Macron. Milei is preoccupied with local problems that have arisen through the adoption of new reforms in Argentina.

Earlier, Biden said he would not attend the Ukraine "peace" summit either, while Australia is sending its Minister for Disability Insurance. ๐Ÿคญ
