Report Details Russia’s Shadowy Digital Pipeline Concealing BN In Crude Exports

Report Details Russia’s Shadowy Digital Pipeline Concealing $90BN In Crude Exports

Global sanctions meet the digital age in a recent interesting bit of FT analysis, which concluded that a single email server may have exposed what amounts to a $90 billion shadow pipeline for Russian crude. While Western media and officials would consider this an ‘illicit’ sprawling sanctions-evasion machine hiding in plain sight, Moscow sees US-EU efforts to stamp out its international energy trade as an unjust tactic to impose total economic isolation related to the Putin’s ‘special military operation’ in Ukraine. The Financial Times report alleges that “48 seemingly independent companies working from different physical addresses” in reality appear to be “operating together to disguise the origin of Russian oil, particularly from Kremlin-controlled Rosneft.” Discovery of a common backend infrastructure reportedly exposes the scheme, as on the surface it looked like a fragmented web of independent traders – while digitally, it was one ecosystem. For example, the FT identified 442 web domains all routed through the same private server – “mx.phoenixtrading.ltd” – with 19 of those domains reportedly tied to Russian businesses, spanning energy and real estate ventures, and …

How Russia’s Children Got So Violent

How Russia’s Children Got So Violent

One Tuesday morning last month, a 15-year-old Russian boy got ready for school by packing a paramilitary vest, a helmet, and a knife. Before leaving his house, he sent a manifesto to his classmates denouncing gay people and Jews, and quoting a mass murderer along with a white-supremacist conspiracy theory. When the boy, identified by prosecutors as Timofey K., arrived at his school, located outside Moscow, he went to the bathroom to put on his gear, which he’d branded with neo-Nazi symbols and racist slogans. Then he filmed himself patrolling the hallways and asking people, at knifepoint, what nationality they were. Several gave the wrong answer, and Timofey stabbed them. Most survived, but a 10-year-old boy from a Tajik family did not. Timofey’s attack wasn’t the first instance of brutality among schoolchildren in Russia last month. Two weeks earlier, a ninth grader had beaten an eighth grader so severely that the latter couldn’t remember what had happened by the time he got to a hospital. The next day, a group of teenagers tortured a schoolgirl …

Russia’s Secretive Hypersonic, Nuclear-Ready Oreshnik Missiles Go Operational In Belarus

Russia’s Secretive Hypersonic, Nuclear-Ready Oreshnik Missiles Go Operational In Belarus

Belarus has announced that Russia’s Oreshnik intermediate-range nuclear capable ballistic missile system has been deployed on its territory, though details and specifications – including range – of the projectile remain secretive. On Tuesday, the Belarusian Ministry of Defense released a video it claims shows the Oreshnik system being deployed inside the country. It featured Russian troops and technicians in a ceremonial flag-raising while stationed in Belarus, along with a convoy of vehicles moving into a field-based firing position before being concealed under camouflage netting.  Accompanying this was the recent emergence of satellite images indicating that Moscow is indeed positioning the nuclear-capable missiles in Belarus. But questions have been raised as to the precise location of the missile systems, given that the undated published video features only support vehicles and doesn’t appear to including the launch apparatus itself.  Still, the video includes a senior officer informing troops that the systems have officially entered combat duty and references prior routine training and reconnaissance exercises carried out by missile crews. Russian state media has referenced a precise date …
