Now the smoke has cleared and things are a little clearer. Until 14 August, according to Moscow, it was improper handling of ammunition that led to the massive explosions on 9 August at the Saki naval air base, located 40 kilometres north of Sevastopol, right next to Novofedorivka beach. Satellite photos are now available as comparative images that show the extent of the damage: at least 3 unprotected ammunition depots were hit and (or as a result of this) 8 fighter-bombers were destroyed and more than 20 others were severely damaged. A heavy blow to the 43rd assault aviation regiment of the Marines stationed there, which was both...

A few hours later, another ship picked up another cargo from the port that may have contained some or all of the Russian barrels, according to ship tracking data observed by Bloomberg. The destination of the cargo is therefore difficult to trace, contributing to the increasing opacity of Russian oil shipments. El Hamra, which is operated by the Egyptian Western Desert...

No model for Germany The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPA) will grant aid totalling 40,000 euros per shipping company to "supplement" the economic situation of fishermen caused by the war in Ukraine. This is the result of a royal decree published on Tuesday. The decree makes it possible to supplement state aid for companies that own fishing boats in order to overcome the economic difficulties caused by the Russian invasion. This is Article 19 of Royal Decree-Law 14/2022 of 1 August on measures for economic sustainability in the areas of transport, scholarships and study grants, as well as energy saving, energy efficiency and reduction of energy consumption.

However, in the year of the Ukraine war, things were a quarter "more subdued" - 40 ships, submarines and boats, mostly of smaller tonnage, plus 42 aeroplanes and helicopters, with 3,500 soldiers involved. The new naval doctrine issued by the commander-in-chief, President Vladimir Putin, between the morning naval parade of the larger ships and the morning parade of the new naval...
