Last week, the price of Russian Urals crude oil fell to its lowest level in two and a half years. The drop occurred just a few days before U.S. sanctions against Lukoil and Rosneft came into effect.

President Trump about sanctioning countries doing business with Russia:
The Republicans are putting in legislation that's very tough. It's sanctioning, etc., etc., on any country doing business with Russia.
They may add Iran to that, as you know. I suggested it.

The case is very active and an investigation is ongoing,but unfortunately,there is no doubt that we are dealing with a deliberate act of sabotage

❗️A deliberate sabotage act was confirmed at the railway in Poland (another location).
PM Tusk:
The explosion was most likely intended to blow up a train on the Warsaw-Dębli line. Unfortunately, there is no doubt that we are dealing with an act of sabotage.

The crossings had been closed due to the migration crisis, but officials now say the border is securely protected against illegal crossings. Local authorities had also requested the reopening, arguing that the closure of these checkpoints had harmed the regional economy.

No shipments were recorded in September, though some were detected in October. Around half of the shells supplied by Pyongyang were so old that they had to be sent to factories in Russia for refurbishment.

Just curious: what’s NATO doing? What’s Europe doing? We’re not planning to face all of this with hope and prayers, right? Or do people still believe war will never come to them?
Because Russia is industrialising its war.
The West still hasn’t industrialised its defence.

Among the KABs, there will be 500 bombs with a range of up to 200 km, which would allow Russia to strike a larger number of cities. Ukraine also believes that Russia is working on modifications that would allow such bombs to reach up to 400 km.

Trump announced that a bill "very severely" sanctioning countries which trade with Russia is being prepared, and that it was his suggestion.
