The Principles and Values of Europe Eva Kaili faces move to strip MEP of her seat as Qatar corruption probe widens: UPDATE 1: The European Parliament has voted positively on terminating the term of Eva Kaili as the EU body's vice president over the recent bribery scandal, but she still holds the position of a parliament member, according to the vote's results on Tuesday. *The decision was made in a 625-1 vote, with 2 abstentions.* "In view of the ongoing investigations, @Europarl_EN has decided that Eva Kaili is no longer one of its Vice-Presidents. This decision is effective immediately. We will continue to fully cooperate with relevant national law enforcement and judicial authorities," parliament head Roberta Metsola tweeted. ----------- 1. The European Parliament will launch an "internal" investigation over corruption charges, with its head Roberta Metsola saying "there will be no sweeping under the carpet." Eva Kaili, one of the 14 vice presidents of the European legislative body from Greece's central-left PASOK-KINAL party, was arrested on Friday by Belgium police after her house was searched on corruption charges allegedly linked to Qatar. Her father was also detained after finding him in possession of a large amount of cash in a suitcase, local reports showed. "This a test of our values, systems, and colleagues, and we will meet this test head-on. There will be no impunity," Metsola said addressing the parliament. "I'm in politics like so many of you here to fight corruption to stand up for the principles of Europe." Pointing that they will launch a reform process to see who has access to EU premises, she said: "We will shake up this parliament and ask for more transparency on meetings with foreign actors and those links to them. How these organizations NGOs and people are funded, what links which third countries they have." ----- 2. The European Commission is checking every detail on the transparency register for commissioners in view of the alleged corruption at the European Parliament, President Ursula von der Leyen said on Monday. On Friday, the Belgian authorities carried out several arrests and searches in Brussels in connection with an investigation into allegations of corruption in the European Parliament associated with the holding of the World Cup in Qatar. "The allegations against the vice president of the European Parliament (Eva Kaili) are of at most concern, very serious. It is a question of the confidence of people in our institutions. This confidence entrusted to our institutions, needs higher standards of independence and integrity," von der Leyen said during a joint press conference with head of the International Energy Agency Fatih Birol in Brussels. The official noted that she proposed the creation of an independent ethics body that covers all EU institutions to ensure that everybody follows the same control mechanisms, as well as share high standards for independence and integrity. "We are checking every detail on the transparency register. We have very clear rules for all commissioners, we look into that in view of what has happened at the European Parliament and here we have to check how the situation is," von der Leyen said, adding that if any kind of new information occurs, the commission will have "to act and react to that." The transparency register is a database that lists organizations that try to influence the law-making and policy implementation process of the EU institutions. In particular, the register makes visible whose interests are being pursued, by whom and with what budget. #qatar #qatarworldcup2022 #evakaili #parliament #europeanunion #values #principles #corruption #corruptionnews #corruption_in_political_and_beaurocracy #corruptioncase - 3. *Qatar rejects allegations. Qatar has dismissed "baseless and gravely misinformed" allegations of misconduct that have shaken the European Parliament.*

A rally is held in Belgrade in support of the Serbian population of Kosovo and Metohija. To the accompaniment of patriotic songs, a crowd of thousands walks from the Church of St. Sava along the central streets of the capital, chanting the slogans “Serbs and Russians are brothers forever!”, “Kosovo is the heart of Serbia!” and "Outside NATO!". Earlier, the leader of the Kosovo Serbs demanded that Pristina release all unjustly detained citizens.

1. Serbian Defense Minister Milos Vucevic on Monday told the Pink television channel that Kosovo and Metohija are not providing adequate security to Serbs, so Belgrade is ready to send additional forces there under UNSC resolution 1244. "It’s obvious that there are not enough security forces in Kosovo and Metohija to protect the security of the Serbs. The legal basis has existed since 1999. Serbia has the right to demand the use of this clause and to demand the return of its forces. Whether they will allow us to do this or not, we will see," the minister said. He added that the government will discuss the issue this week. [https://tass.com/world/1549395] - 2. Russian President Vladimir Putin did not receive an appeal from his Serbian counterpart, Aleksandar Vucic, about providing help to reduce tensions in Kosovo, but Russia is interested in resolving the situation, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday. "No, there were no such appeals. But, in any case, we value our fraternal relations with the Serbs, and, of course, we are hope with all our hearts that this tension subsides as soon as possible. And again, the main thing is that all the rights of Serbs are guaranteed," Peskov told a briefing. #kosovo #serbia #mitrovica #serbian #KosovoMetohija #albanians #nato #alexandarvucic #documents #europeanunion #ethnictensions #minority #kfor #eulex #serbianarmy -- Music track: history Repeats Itself by FSCM Productions | https://fscmproductions.bandcamp.com Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com -------------------- Related: Aleksandar Vucic, Serbia seeks NATO (KFOR) approval to send forces to north Kosovo and Metohija: [https://youtu.be/QBCQEqKFfuI] - Serbs build barricades in North Kosovo over detention of ex-policeman, sirens in Mitrovica, updates: [https://youtu.be/GX4biSxeNkU] - The authorities of Kosovo postponed the introduction of fines for Serbian plates for another 2 days; [https://youtu.be/vJK7pwwvR10] - If NATO (KFOR) Won't 'Do Their Job' Serbia will take action to defend its minority there - Vučić [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32DlF...] - Insistence of Brussels on Ukraine’s territorial integrity while expecting Serbia to violate its own: [https://youtu.be/wccK1Fp6kuo] ---------------------- Serbian defense minister: One spark is enough to ignite everything in Kosovo: [https://www.elethos.gr/2022/12/serbian-defense-minister-one-spark-is.html] - If President Vucic gives the order, the army is ready to protect the Serbs in Kosovo: [https://www.kaos.gr/2022/11/if-president-vucic-gives-order-army-is.html] - Pristina intimidates Serb population under West’s passive eye — Russian ambassador: [https://www.ethnologia.gr/2022/12/pristina-intimidates-serb-population.html] ------------------------------------ Kosovo special forces advanced to Mitrovica, Serbs quitted all power instructions [https://youtu.be/RBnc_tQ9T0Q] - *Aleksandar Vucic, Kosovo: Ethnic Albanians were gathering for another pogrom of the remaining Serbs* [https://youtu.be/2S44XQ78oMg]

1. A rain considered the strongest in 50 years has caused severe flooding in the Turkish resort province of Antalya, destroying bridges and sweeping away cars, Mustafa Koseoglu, the mayor of the city of Kumluca, said on Monday. "Our region has not seen such a disaster for almost 50 years. Flood waters have destroyed the bridges, and the rescue equipment was unable to operate. Rainwater also caused flooding and damaged ground floors and cars ... sweeping away the vehicles and overflowing the greenhouses. Despite our efforts, we were unable to make up for lost time. We want our citizens to be careful to avoid casualties," Koseoglu was quoted as saying by Turkish newspaper Star. No casualties have been reported so far, according to the newspaper. --- 2. Due to the heavy rain in the Kumluca and Finike districts of Antalya, many houses were flooded and vehicles were damaged. While parked cars were drifting with the flood waters flowing from the overflowing streams, the ground and basement floors of many houses and workplaces in both districts were flooded.

There was a flood at the Moscow Sheremetyevo airport. It is clarified that an alarm went off there, and water began to flow into the room. It is noted that the alarm turned out to be false. Eyewitnesses report that the ceiling collapsed.

1. Serbia will ask NATO peacekeepers to let it deploy Serbian military and police to volatile northern Kosovo and Metohija, although it believes there is no chance of the request being approved, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has said. The European Union’s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell warned last month of the potential for “escalation and violence” after emergency talks between Kosovo and Serbia failed to resolve their long-running dispute over car licence plates used by the ethnic Serb minority in Kosovo.

"Individuals from certain criminal groups who blocked several roads in the north of the country, from different locations shot at police units that were on official duty near the Gazivode lake dam, on the way to the border to the Brnjak crossing with Serbia,” said police "Police units in self-defense were forced to respond with firearms to criminal persons/groups, who retreated and moved away in an unknown direction. Also, according to information from police units on the ground, gunshots were heard in several different locations," it said.

Στις 10 Δεκεμβρίου έγινε ο τελικός στολισμός και ο φωτισμός του Χριστουγεννιάτικου Δέντρου από χονδρό κλαδί καρυδιάς. Στόχος της Ράνιας Αβραμίδου (αδελφή του πρώην Αντιπεριφερειάρχη), που έκανε την τελική διαμόρφωση, ήταν η προσαρμογή στο περιβάλλον, έξω με φόντο τις νεραντζιές, μέσα με την επίπλωση πριν 40 χρόνια. Τα κλαδιά του δέντρου λύγισαν όσο έπρεπε με το κατάλληλο βάρος δίνοντας την εντύπωση ότι τα στολίδια είναι καρποί. Με το παλιό, το παραδοσιακό χριστουγενιάτικο έλατο, δεν θα είχαμε αυτά τα πλεονεκτήματα. *Η πρώτη λήψη έγινε με το φώς της ημέρας και η δεύτερη το βράδυ.* #christmastree #christmas #decoration #decorations #decorating #χριστουγεννιάτικο #χριστουγεννιάτικα #στολισμός #καρυδιά #recycling #φωτισμός #στολίδια #περιβάλλον #έλατο - *1ο Βίντεο, αρχικός στολισμός: (https://youtu.be/v2cyeJ1WZvQ)* Φέτος το Χριστουγεννιάτικο Δέντρο προτιμήσαμε να είναι από κλαδί καρυδιάς που την κόψαμε τέλη Αυγούστου μετά από την τελευταία καλοκαιρινή καταιγίδα: (https://youtu.be/VcB_LVfJzS0).

Morocco became the first African nation to reach the World Cup semifinals as Youssef En-Nesyri's first-half goal sealed a tense 1-0 victory over Portugal on Saturday at Al Thumama Stadium. The Atlas Lions, also the first Arab team to make the last four, added Portugal to their list of European scalps with a resolute second-half performance. Cristiano Ronaldo has likely played his last World Cup match after making an ineffectual appearance as a second-half substitute, failing to score his first knockout-phase goal at the tournament. - *The soccer world rejoiced at Morocco's historical accomplishment.* Portugal came in favored to win and dominated possession the entire game. But Morocco once again found a way to win at this World Cup in Qatar. The game's only goal came just before halftime in the 42nd minute when Morocco's Yahya Attiat-Allah lofted a ball in front of the Portugal goal and Youssef En-Nesyri soared high and headed it down past the keeper. En-Nesyri is the first Moroccan player to score at two World Cups. Morocco's defense sparkled once again - particularly the sensational play of goalkeeper Yassine "Bono" Bounou. None of Morocco's opponents this World Cup — Croatia, Belgium, Canada, Spain or Portugal — has scored a goal (the one credited to Canada was an own goal by Morocco). Morocco is the first Arab country to go this deep into a World Cup and, now, the first African country to reach the semifinals of a World Cup. Across Doha - and the Arab world - fans have turned out in force to cheer for their Cinderella team. #morocco #moroccanstyle #moroccan #worldcup #playoffs #atlaslions #qatarworldcup #penaltygoals - Related: Historic World Cup win: Penalty kicks, Morocco made history sensationally beat Spain 3-0: [https://youtu.be/mg9KmxGBX2o] - Penalty kicks, Morroco made history sensationally beat Spain 3-0: [https://youtu.be/SEfdt0N5Ctw] - Moroccans celebrated on Thursday after their team qualified for the knockout stages of the World Cup: [https://youtu.be/86Grgfbw-uk]

Serbs from the north of Kosovo and Metohija are setting up barricades in the town of Rudare in the northern part of Kosovo and Metohija, and according to our sources from Kosovo, the reason is the arrest of citizens on a list of suspects mainly for participating in incidents during protests at the pharmacy in North Mitrovica at the end of last year. In North Mitrovica, sirens, common for such events, were heard calling Serbs to gather, and although they were not originally in Zubin Potok, they are now heard in this municipality, writes Kosovo Online. The new barricades, as in previous years, were set up in the village of Rudare kod krusa and consist of several heavy machinery trucks, reports Kosovo Online, which adds that around 1,000 residents of Kosovska Mitrovica and Zvečani have also gathered. --- 2. Kosovo Serbs began to build barricades in the north of the unrecognized republic because of the detention by the authorities in Pristina of the ex-police officer of the Kosovo Interior Ministry Dejan Pantic. This is reported by Vecherne Novosti and Kosovo Online. Pantić, along with other Serbian police officers from the Kosovo Interior Ministry, resigned in the middle of last month. He was detained on December 10 at the Yarina checkpoint when entering from central Serbia. It is reported that the Serbs gather at the entrance and exit from the village of Leposavić. Several hundred more people gathered in Rudar, Srbovac, Socanica and Leshko. All the gathered Serbs are building barricades so that the arrested people are not taken to Pristina. At the same time, the number of participants is only growing. Air raid sirens are known to sound in the north of Mitrovica. #kosovo #serbia #mitrovica #serbian #KosovoMetohija #albanians #nato #alexandarvucic #documents #europeanunion #aleksandarvučić #ethnictensions #europeancommission #minority - Related: The authorities of Kosovo postponed the introduction of fines for Serbian plates for another 2 days; [https://youtu.be/vJK7pwwvR10] - If NATO (KFOR) Won't 'Do Their Job' Serbia will take action to defend its minority there - Vučić [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32DlF...] - Insistence of Brussels on Ukraine’s territorial integrity while expecting Serbia to violate its own: [https://youtu.be/wccK1Fp6kuo] ---------------------- Serbian defense minister: One spark is enough to ignite everything in Kosovo: [https://www.elethos.gr/2022/12/serbian-defense-minister-one-spark-is.html] - If President Vucic gives the order, the army is ready to protect the Serbs in Kosovo: [https://www.kaos.gr/2022/11/if-president-vucic-gives-order-army-is.html] - Pristina intimidates Serb population under West’s passive eye — Russian ambassador: [https://www.ethnologia.gr/2022/12/pristina-intimidates-serb-population.html] ------------------------------------ Kosovo special forces advanced to Mitrovica, Serbs quitted all power instructions [https://youtu.be/RBnc_tQ9T0Q] - *Aleksandar Vucic, Kosovo: Ethnic Albanians were gathering for another pogrom of the remaining Serbs* [https://youtu.be/2S44XQ78oMg]

1. The US military is involved in the guidance and maintenance of HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems in Ukraine. The corresponding statement was made by Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya. "Among the weapons supplied, the American HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems should be highlighted. We know for sure, and Kyiv and Washington indirectly confirmed this more than once, that American specialists are involved in the operation of these installations," TASS quoted him as saying. Projectiles are aimed at the target with the help of American military satellites. Nebenzya noted that the coordination of satellite and intelligence information on the ground is carried out by the US military. In addition, it is the Americans who upload the exact coordinates of the targets to HIMARS. - 2. The Ukrainian drones that attacked Russian airstrips near Ryazan and Engels were guided by satellite data obtained from the US, Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said during the Security Council meeting on Ukraine Friday. "We receive reports that Russian strategic airstrips Dyagilevo and Engels were attacked with the use of American satellite data. Upgraded Soviet Tu-141 Strizh drones were guided by the American GPS global satellite system," he said. - 3. Countries that ship weapons to Kiev and aid the Ukrainian armed forces will face concrete legal consequences, Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said during the Security Council meeting on Ukraine Friday. "We scrupulously register all such criminal actions of the US and its allies, they will have concrete legal consequences for everyone involved," Nebenzya said. "We track and destroy the shipped vehicles. Since there its amount in Western warehouses drops, Washington and its allies have recently been trying to actively work with third countries, buying weapons and military equipment from them and shipping it to Ukraine," the diplomat said. "The fact of such deals was recently admitted by Ukrainian Foreign Minister [Dmitry] Kuleba.". - 4. *Американские военные участвуют в наведении и обеспечении работы реактивных систем залпового огня HIMARS на Украине.

Мы точно знаем, и это не раз косвенно подтверждали Киев и Вашингтон, что американские специалисты участвуют в работе этих установок", – цитирует его ТАСС. Снаряды наводятся на цель при помощи американских военных спутников. Небензя отметил, что координацию спутниковой и разведывательной информации на земле проводят американские военные. Кроме того, именно американцы загружают в HIMARS точные координаты целей.

The fall of warheads of enemy missiles on Russia is inevitable. But nothing will remain of the enemy... 1. Putin told why the US preventive nuclear strike on Russia is ineffective Russian President Vladimir Putin explained why an American "disarming" strike on Russia would be ineffective. “The US has a pre-emptive strike theory. They develop the theory of "disarming" strike. This is a strike with modern high-tech means, which should be inflicted on control points, deprive the enemy of control systems, and so on,” Putin said during a press conference in Bishkek. He said that the Americans intended to deliver a disarming strike using hypersonic systems. True, the United States does not have them yet - but Russia does. The President noted that, perhaps in this light, one should think about adopting the ideas of the Americans to ensure their security. “In our strategy, a retaliatory strike is formulated. Our missile attack warning system detects missile launches in the direction of the territory of the Russian Federation. Then the answer begins. We regularly conduct exercises of nuclear forces, we inform about them. After the early warning system receives a signal about a missile attack, hundreds of our missiles are in the air from our side. It is impossible to stop them,” Putin stressed. The fundamental difference in the approaches of the two states, Vladimir Putin noted, is that, according to our strategy, the fall of warheads of enemy missiles on Russia is inevitable. But nothing will remain of the enemy, because it will be impossible to intercept hundreds of missiles fired by us. And this is a deterrent. Putin added that, nevertheless, there is something to think about if the Americans believe that such a strike is still possible. According to the President, the threats that such ideas pose for Russia in the field of defense of other countries should be considered. -- 2. *Putin: Any country that launches nuclear attack on Russia will be wiped out.* Russian President Vladimir Putin vowed on Friday that any country that dared attack Russia with nuclear weapons would be wiped from the face of the earth. Putin said Russia had no mandate to launch a preventative first nuclear strike, unlike the United States, but that Russia's advanced hypersonic weapons would ensure Russia could respond forcefully if it ever came under attack. #nuclearwar #nuclearstrike #nuclearattack, #preventivestrike #preventative #hypersonic_missile #hypersonicmissiles #nuclearwar - 3. *Президент России Владимир Путин объяснил, почему американский «обезоруживающий» удар по России был бы неэффективен.* «У США есть #теория #превентивного #удара. Они разрабатывают теорию "обезоруживающего" удара. Это удар современными высокотехнологичными средствами, который по пунктам управления должен наноситься, лишать противника систем управления и так далее», - сказал Путин в ходе пресс-конференции в Бишкеке. Он сообщил, что американцы предполагали нанесение обезоруживающего удара с помощью гиперзвуковых систем. Их, правда, пока у США нет - а вот у России есть. Президент заметил, что, возможно, в этом свете следует подумать о том, чтобы взять на вооружение идеи американцев по обеспечению своей безопасности. «В нашей стратегии сформулирован ответно-встречный удар. Наша система #предупреждения о ракетном нападении фиксирует старты #ракеты в направлении территории РФ. Потом начинается #ответ. Мы же регулярно проводим учения ядерных сил, мы информируем о них. После того как СПРН получает #сигнал о ракетном нападении, с нашей стороны в воздухе оказываются сотни наших ракет. Остановить их невозможно», - подчеркнул Путин. Принципиальная разница в подходах двух государств, заметил Владимир Путин, в том, что по нашей стратегии падение головных частей вражеских ракет на Россию неизбежно. Но и от противника при этом ничего не останется, потому что перехватить сотни выпущенных нами ракет будет невозможно. И это - #сдерживающий #фактор. Путин добавил, что тем не менее есть над чем задуматься, если #американцы считают, что такой удар все-таки возможен. По словам президента, следует обдумать #угрозы, которые создают для России такие идеи в сфере #обороны других стран. [https://tvzvezda.ru/news/20221291636-ZWerN.html]

1. Washington sees no reason to believe that Russia was involved in Ankara’s decision to block two dozens of ships carrying millions of barrels of oil, Reuters quoted US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen as saying on Thursday. At an event hosted by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Fort Worth, Texas, Yellen told reporters that the Biden administration had no reason to believe the Russian government was involved in Turkey’s decision regarding the oil tankers. Nor do US officials see any obstacles to ships transiting through the Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits. "There’s no reason whatsoever for why they [oil tankers] should be subjected to any type of procedures," Bloomberg quoted Yellen as saying. She added that the US was in talks with Turkish officials "to manage the situation." Bloomberg reported on Tuesday that at least 20 tankers holding some 18 million barrels of oil were being prevented from passing through the two straits in the wake of the decision to impose a price cap on Russian oil. According to the news agency, all but one ship has crude from Kazakhstan on board, however they departed from Russian ports. For fear of violating the price ceiling regime, Turkey is insisting the vessels have letters guaranteeing insurance coverage, but insurers have so far refused to provide such guarantees. Though Kazakh oil should not be subject to sanctions, the fact that the vessels left from Russian ports may be contributing to the anxiety in Ankara about having their insurance status confirmed, Bloomberg added. - 2. *On December 5, an embargo on maritime Russian oil shipments to the European Union came into force.* Moreover, EU states also agreed on a price cap for Russian oil delivered by sea, setting the ceiling at $60 a barrel . A similar decision was announced by the G7 and Australia. The West is also banning its companies from providing transport, financial and insurance services to tankers carrying oil from Russia at a price above the agreed-on ceiling.[https://tass.com/economy/1548311] @Text to speech online free: https://ttsfree.com #bosporus #bosphorus #Dardanelles #oiltanker #oiltankers #insurance #maritime #freenavigation #montreux #treaty - Related: [https://youtu.be/7c_ANmPxa1k]

The confession made by German ex-Chancellor Angela Merkel’s in her interview for Die Zeit that the Minsk Agreements were signed in order to buy time for Ukraine to prepare for a military standoff with Russia could be used for an investigation in a tribunal, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Thursday. "A lot is being said today about the legal assessment of the situation around Ukraine, about some tribunals and all kinds of that thing," she noted. "This, however, is a solid bid for a tribunal. The things that Merkel said in her interview - this is a testimony of a person, who stated it directly that everything that was done in 2014 and 2015 had only one goal: to divert the global community’s attention from the real problems, to buy some time, to pump the Kiev regime with weapons and to lead the situation to a large-scale conflict." *According to Zakharova, the ex-Chancellor’s confession "says the horrible: fraud as modus operandi of the West - machinations, manipulations, all kinds of distortion of truth, law and justice imaginable".* "They [Western representatives - TASS] knew it back then, in 2015, already, when they held hours-long talks, they knew that they would never implement it, that they would pump the Kiev regime with weapons," the diplomat underscored. "They had no mercy for anyone: women, children, civilians of Donbass and Ukraine in general. They needed conflict, and they were ready for it back then already, back in 2015." *Merkel’s confession* Speaking in her interview for Die Zeit, published on December 7, Merkel said the following: "The 2014 Minsk Agreement was an attempt to buy time for Ukraine. Ukraine used this time to become stronger, as you can see today. Ukraine in 2014-2015 and Ukraine today are not the same." According to the ex-Chancellor, "it was clear for everyone" that the conflict was suspended and the problem was not resolved, "but it was exactly what gave Ukraine the priceless time." She doubted that, back then, NATO member states could provide aid to Kiev in the same volumes that they do now.[https://tass.com/politics/1547779] #poroshenko #minskagreements #minsk #nato #ukrainianarmy #truth #natostandards #donbass #easternukraine #angelamerkel #tribunal - *Захарова оценила признание Меркель о саботаже Минских соглашений.* Официальный представитель МИД России Мария Захарова прокомментировала слова экс-канцлера ФРГ Ангелы #Меркель о том, что Минские соглашения были попыткой дать Украине время для того, чтобы стать сильнее. По словам спикера российского МИД, откровение Меркель вызвало оторопь у многих экспертов. "Это не просто откровение, это не просто воспоминание. Это признание. Наверное, так четко впервые прозвучавшее. Да, киевский режим неоднократно говорил, что не собирается выполнять минские договоренности, но вот #Запад, те самые страны, которые входили в "нормандский формат", об этом так явно артикулированно ни разу не заявляли", – сказала Захарова. Дипломат заметила, что теперь у России есть признание бывшего руководителя Германии, которая имела влияние на "политические брожения внутри как бы суверенной Украины". Западные политики, подчеркнула Захарова, вручную руководили сменой власти на Украине.

Ankara demands ships prove insurance coverage to pass through Straits 1. Turkey says it has started requesting proof of insurance from tankers loaded with Russian crude oil as Moscow expressed concern about a build-up of oil tankers in the Bosphorus Strait. At least 20 oil tankers queueing off Turkey face more delays to cross from Russia’s Black Sea ports to the Mediterranean as operators race to adhere to new Turkish insurance rules added in advance of a G7 price cap on Russian oil, industry sources said on Tuesday, as cited by the Reuters news agency. The straits are among the world's most difficult waterways to traverse, as ships must deal with strong currents, sharp turns, and varying weather conditions. While the 1936 Montreux Convention guarantees freedom of navigation for merchant vessels, the passage is also regulated to uphold Türkiye's security. - 2. Moscow and Ankara keep in touch over the maritime traffic issue off the Turkish coast, where a number of oil tankers have stuck, measures will be taken if needed, a source familiar with the situation told Sputnik on Thursday. "There is coordination on this issue (with the Russian side). All necessary measures are taken and will be taken if necessary. That is all I can say now. Media, for some reason, present the problem as catastrophic, there is nothing like that," the source said. On December 1, Turkey started requiring from oil shippers crossing the Bosphorus Strait and the Dardanelles a letter from an insurer confirming that the vessel is covered by the necessary Protection and Indemnity Insurance (P&I). On Monday, media reported that some 19 oil tankers were stuck in the Turkish straits after new restrictions that had gone into effect as part of the collective West's price cap on Russian oil. - 3. Москва и Анкара находятся в координации по проблеме заторов из танкеров в Турции Москва и Анкара находятся в координации по проблеме пробки из танкеров в проливах Турции. Об этом заявил РИА Новости источник, знакомый с ситуацией. Ранее издание Financial Times со ссылкой на нефтетрейдеров, посредников и отслеживающие суда сервисы сообщало, что затор из нефтяных танкеров образовался у турецких берегов после начала действия потолка стоимости на российскую нефть из-за требований Турции предоставлять сведения о страховании. Анкара с 1 декабря ввела доптребование по страхованию к танкерам с сырой нефтью для прохода через проливы Турции. Так, Анкара требует от страховщиков письмо, подтверждающее предоставление судну P&I-страхования (Protection and Indemnity Insurance). "Координация по этому поводу (с российской стороной. – Прим. РЕН ТВ) есть. Это все, что я сейчас могу сказать", – заявил источник информагентства. Он добавил, что все нужные меры для решения данной проблемы примут в случае необходимости. По его словам, в прессе эту проблему представляют как "катастрофическую", однако в ней "ничего такого нет".

President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, at a meeting with members of the Human Rights Council, said that it is worth considering the creation of a special body to investigate the shelling of Donbass. “It is important to carry out investigations, record these crimes, especially attacks on civilian and residential areas. Maybe create some kind of general body that deals with this, and a state commission. Let's think," Vladimir Putin said. The head of the Russian state also suggested thinking about how to call on those who want to engage in these investigations.

Russia will be ready to conduct a serious dialogue with Western countries when forward-thinking people rise to power there, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told the Primakov Readings forum on Wednesday. "The West has stopped cooperating with us. It has built a wall, by and large. We simply keep in touch with those who are ready for it," Lavrov pointed out. "When and if we see that the people who have taken over in the countries and organizations, created in Europe and the United States, are able to see a little beyond two-year electoral cycles, a little deeper than the wish to send someone's son to jail or, conversely, to prove someone's incompetence but do nothing apart from that, then we will, of course, be ready for a serious conversation." "In the meantime, in anticipation of that bright era, we are always ready to talk to sane people from the expert community, with pleasure," Lavrov added. He stressed that Russia "is not making a tragedy out of the current situation." "I believe that this is a tragedy for the Western civilization, for the Western system of the world order, which relied on the principles of globalization the Americans had put forward. Those principles have completely discredited themselves as an untrustworthy system that is unable to respect and preserve its own principles and mechanisms imposed on everyone else," Lavrov said.
