‼️Russia's "shadow fleet" is also being used for intelligence-gathering, CNN reports. Additional crew members are increasingly appearing aboard tankers transporting Russian oil. These individuals are Russian nationals with backgrounds in the military, law enforcement, or private military structures such as the Wagner Group. According to intelligence sources, they are...

Russian shadow fleet not just allows Russia to earn money for its war on Ukraine but is also an environmental catastrophe waiting to happen. In a September video by Yle. fi, experts explain that about 70% of the tankers used in the Russian shadow fleet are at least 15 years old. They do not go through proper servicing which increases the risk of technical issues and malfunctions. A lot of these vessels have been blacklisted in the first place because their condition is so bad (meaning they are not allowed to sail) but they still continue voyaging through the Gulf of Finland, for example. Many of them sail under the jurisdictions of different countries, which makes them harder to track. The risk of an oil spill is getting more and more likely - and the shadow vessels carry tens of thousands tons of oil. The environmental disaster that would follow would have an unprecedented scale. It will affect all forms of wildlife and sea life, destroy the business of fishermen and coastal tourism for years, if not decades. Its aftermath for the environment would be indescribable, and the costs to mitigate such a disaster will be exorbitant. Since Russian shadow fleet tankers mostly don't have proper insurance, there is very little chance that any payments will follow that will cover the costs. These expenses will have to be borne by the country/countries near which this will happen, combined with future economic losses caused by damage to the environment. Moreover, Russian shadow fleet tankers are an extra burden for the coast guards as they have to check more vessels (again, many of them are in very poor condition) and have extra training, working on scenarios of possible environmental disasters. According to experts quoted by Yle. fi, from January 2022 to August 2024, 380 million tons of Russian oil and other petroleum products went through the Gulf of Finland, earning Russia more than $220 billion for the war in Ukraine. It is obvious at this point that tackling Russian shadow fleet and cutting off or substantially decreasing Russian oil profits is a top priority towards ending the war and ensuring lasting peace. However, as with almost everything in this war, stopping Russia is also very important for the environment - globally and locally. Currently, this fleet is a ticking bomb that can explode tens of thousand of oil into water at any moment.

From Russia's perspective, the war began due to the NATO-backed coup in Kyiv in 2014 and efforts from the first day after the coup to transform what had been an overwhelmingly Russian-friendly country into a hostile, anti-Russian frontline state. Over the next 8 years, NATO ignored the Minsk peace agreement and instead used the time to entrench itself in Ukraine and build a powerful Ukrainian proxy army and intelligence services to weaken Russia as a strategic rival. Russia then invaded in 2022 with the key objective (by either military or diplomatic means) of ensuring that NATO and its intelligence agencies are dislodged from Ukraine. Territorial acquisitions are seen as a guarantor that these regions will never be used as a NATO frontline. To prevent the destruction of Ukraine and avoid a direct war that would likely escalate into a nuclear exchange, it is imperative to recognise the security concerns of Russia. Instead, the UK and France commit themselves to “build protected facilities for weapons and military equipment”in Ukraine after the war, which ensures that the war cannot end. It does not matter if NATO countries believe they are fighting for “democracy” and “freedom”; Russia sees this as an existential threat and will act accordingly. Ask yourself why these European leaders have sabotaged every peace initiative, boycotted diplomacy for almost 4 years, insists that deterrence is the only path to security, while smearing and censoring dissent. This is not to "stand to Ukraine", but an effort to fight to the last Ukrainian.

🚨COUP UPDATES: Wagner with the National Guard & Russian Military TAKE OVER Russian Military HQ In Rostov Tensions rise in Russia as the Southern Russian Military District Headquarters in Rostov is surrounded by armed military personnel. The surrounding military personnel, which includes tanks pointing towards the headquarters, are elements of Wagner group but also some of the soldiers are wearing Russian National Guard patches accompanied by National Guard/Military trucks. Many soldiers have confirmed to be a part of Wagner group. This most likely indicates that factions of the Russian military as well as the National Guard, which is the MOST LOYAL to Putin, have DEFECTED to Wagner as part of the ongoing coup. Furthermore, the Southern Russian Military District has NUCLEAR WEAPONS within it’s realm of responsibility. Now this does not mean that they’re easily accessible, however it does mean that too much chaos in the chain of command could POTENTIALLY have a very sinister outcome. We’ve also received UNCONFIRMED reports of multiple Defense Ministry units involved in the Ukraine war are moving under Prigozhin's command, with commanders Shoigu and Gerasimov (both loyal to Putin and report directly to the President) reportedly being removed from power. What is also rather concerning is that we’ve heard nothing NOTHING from Putin. Could this mean that both Wagner and factions of the Russian military and National Guard have colluded in order to pull of this ongoing and rapidly evolving coup? The repercussions of this would be unimaginable, as if successful, Prigozhin, the head of Wagner, would gain a considerable amount of power, possibly even NUCLEAR power.
