� putin openly declares that he is fighting not so much with Ukraine as with the West. Therefore, if Ukraine stands, so will the West.

� Russian aggression against the civilized West must suffer a crushing defeat in Ukraine. Otherwise, all potential aggressors around the world will get a signal that it is possible to use force with impunity, change borders, and not suffer the consequences. For the United States and every American family, this will be a catastrophic development that will lead to much greater problems and expenses to ensure the security of the United States than it is now.

Probably the news in the EU and the US will not say anything about this, or very little will be said.
This is the result of the EU's friendly policy towards russia. This is the result of the non-supply of necessary weapons to Ukraine, both in terms of range and quantity.
I know that only on this forum people can read about what is happening in Ukraine. The world's media is controlled by democrats, who are now pursuing a policy of minimal coverage of events in Ukraine. This is being done to boost Biden's as.shole ratings.

Completely wrong again. This is just one of many examples from the german "controlled" public media:

What's wrong again?
Where is the information about 64 Russian missiles in your German media?

Re-read the information in my post "#2378 on: Today at 04:47".

The Frankfurter Rundschau also mentioned the 60 or so missiles.

Just admit for once that you've been spreading nonsense (again).

Learn to communicate on forums in cultural language.

I�m not talking nonsense, I just assumed that there will be no or very little information about the war in Ukraine in the EU and US media. I periodically review media from different countries.
But if you were told about 60 missiles today, it means it�s good that you heard.
But the purpose of my post was not only to check the work of the media, but also to point out that the policy being pursued against russia is not effective.

New York Times has a whole section dedicated to the war in Ukraine. Last article was updated 4h ago
But I guess the media is busy with the upcomig interview the maga darling and trump admirer, Tucker Carlson is planning to have with putin, after he did the same with orban, of course, all 4 being Ukraine's best friends.

OK.
Today the media published this information. But how many people read newspapers? Will this be said and shown on US TV channels... I won�t argue, let�s assume that they will show it on TV. Then at least it's something.
Trump has a lot of fans, Ukraine has nothing to do with Tucker Carlson.
I do not approve of Orban's policies and the work of Tucker Carlson.

The Latin equivalent "non sensus" was already used by the Romans.

Unfortunately, I can't think of a more sophisticated term in cultural language for your fake news and misinformation.

On the morning of February 7, russia attacked Ukraine with 64 missiles and drones.

It's fake?

I was referring exclusively to your conspiracy theory about the international press and refuted it for Germany.

Probably the news in the EU and the US will not say anything about this, or very little will be said.

This is not a statement, it is an assumption that is based on facts. I periodically watch NBC News, and they don't talk about Ukraine in the main news. They talked last year. Biden doesn�t need negative news about Ukraine now; it lowers his rating.

This is precisely where the problem lies. You periodically watch the main news from another country and imagine that you have an overview of the entire news situation.

These are not facts, but your own distorted perception, which you are spreading here without restraint.

News channels live from viewers and the world doesn't just consist of Ukraine - except for you.

Since I speak several languages, I've made the effort for you:

https://www.la-croix.com/international/guerre-ukraine-russie-jour-714-point-conflit-ukrainien-poutine-aujourdhui-20240207

https://www.elmundo.es/internacional/2024/02/07/65c31fe7d24298002ef50de2-directo.html

This is the reporting in Europe. You're not right.

Nobody is hiding anything here, it is very easy to get all the relevant information from the public media in every European country.

I have explained above why not every report appears every day in the main 30-minute evening news bulletins.

Okay, I didn't argue. We will know that the EU has showed today�s Russian attack. I still don�t understand what you are trying to prove here. You are making up some accusations against me.
But presidential elections are taking place not in the EU, but in the USA. And I have not yet received confirmation that this attack was covered on US TV channels (popular). For example, the morning news. Maybe I didn�t look carefully, but I don�t see any news about Ukraine and the attack.

And most importantly, I drew conclusions. And there is only one conclusion: the EU and the US are doing very little to eliminate the threat from russia. This is the main point of my topic today.

RalfLiebhold, do you want to waste your time arguing?    How old are you?

and the world doesn't just consist of Ukraine

Here you are mistaken, as many citizens of EU countries are mistaken. The future of the EU and many other countries of the world depends on events in Ukraine.

RalfLiebhold, do you want to waste your time arguing?    How old are you?

I do indeed feel very young.

I wasn't arguing at all, I was exposing you with facts.

I just don't like it when disturbed opinions are publicly sold as facts.

Poor support for Ukraine and weak sanctions against russia are not opinions, they are facts. And I give constant confirmation of these facts.

"I know that only on this forum people can read about what is happening in Ukraine. The world's media is controlled by democrats, who are now pursuing a policy of minimal coverage of events in Ukraine. "

I'll answer the question. Yesterday I gave a link to the morning news in the USA, there is not a word about Ukraine. Every day on US TV channels they don�t talk about Ukraine or say very little to give the impression that nothing bad or terrible is happening in Ukraine.
The US media can easily be called the world's media. They are in English. The media in Germany are in German, so they are not world wide.
Regarding my statements about the EU, I answered yesterday that I was not writing a statement, but an assumption.
You, RalfLiebhold, constantly find fault with words and flood the topic.

And I stop making excuses for you, if you don�t understand the context of what was written well, that�s not my problem. Other readers, of whom there are thousands in this topic, do not have such questions. So the problem is your poor education.

 

Russian oil facilities hit by drone attacks, fires

Firefighters extinguish oil tanks at a storage facility that local authorities say caught fire after the military brought down a Ukrainian drone, in the town of Klintsy in the Bryansk Region, Russia January 19, 2024, in this still image taken from video.

MOSCOW, Feb 5 (Reuters) - Russia energy infrastructure has been hit by drone attacks and fires in the past month, adding to uncertainty in global oil and gas markets already rocked by the conflict in the Middle East.
Russia and Ukraine have targeted each other's energy infrastructure in strikes designed to disrupt supply lines and logistics and to demoralise each other as they bid to get the edge in a nearly two-year-old war that shows no sign of ending.
Following are recent major incidents at Russian oil facilities over the past month:
*Two Ukrainian attack drones struck the largest oil refinery in the country's south on Saturday, Feb. 3, a source in Kyiv told Reuters, the latest in a series of long-range attacks on Russian oil facilities which has reduced Russia's exports of naphtha, a petrochemical feedstock.
Russia's second-largest oil producer Lukoil (LKOH.MM), opens new tab, which owns the 300,000 bpd Volgograd refinery, later said the plant was working as normal.
* A Russian appointed official said on Jan. 18 that Ukraine had tried and failed to target a Russian Baltic Sea oil terminal with a drone. Ukraine said it had hit targets in St Petersburg with domestic-made drone.
Mikhail Skigin, a co-owner of the St Petersburg Oil Terminal, told RBC media that the air defence had thwarted a "monstrous catastrophe", opens new tab, which could lead to human losses and ecological damage to the Baltic Sea.
* Four oil tanks at a large storage facility in the town of Klintsy in Russia's western Bryansk region caught fire on Jan. 19 after the military brought down a Ukrainian strike drone, the regional governor said. A spokesperson for Ukraine's military intelligence agency neither confirmed nor denied Ukraine's involvement.
* A fire tore through Ryazan oil refinery, Russia's third-largest, on Jan 19, the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper said, quoting emergency services.
* Russian energy giant Novatek (NVTK.MM), opens new tab on Jan. 21 was forced to suspend some operations at the huge Baltic Sea fuel export terminal at Ust-luga as well as "technological processes" at a nearby fuel-producing complex due to a fire, started by what Ukrainian media said was a drone attack.
Russia will likely cut exports of naphtha by some 127,500-136,000 barrels per day, or around a third of its total exports, after fires disrupted operations at refineries on the Baltic and Black Seas, according to traders and LSEG ship-tracking data.
* Rosneft's (ROSN.MM), opens new tab Tuapse oil refinery in southern Russia halted oil processing and output on Jan. 26 following a fire, two industry sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. A Ukrainian source said Ukrainian drones attacked the refinery on the shores of the Black Sea.
* Lukoil has halted a unit at NORSI, Russia's fourth largest refinery, located near the city of Nizhny Novgorod, some 430 km (270 miles) east of Moscow, after an "incident".
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said on Jan. 27 that repair work would take at least a month or a month and a half.
* Russian air defences thwarted a drone attack on Jan. 29 on the Slavneft-YANOS oil refinery in the city of Yaroslavl, northeast of Moscow, regional governor Mikhail Yevrayev said.
