Western shipowners received more than $6 billion by selling old oil tankers to a shadow fleet transporting Russian oil - Follow the Money investigation The platform, together with an international team of 40 investigative reporters from nine countries and the independent research institute Kyiv School of Economics (KSE), found that at least 230 vessels have been sold by owners from Europe and the US into the shadow fleet and with that help the Kremlin maintains its crucial oil revenue despite Western sanctions. Most of them are sold by Greek owners, followed by British and German owners. Currently, the KSE estimates that a shadow fleet of over 600 tankers is shipping 70% of all Russian oil exports. Almost all of them, on paper, are not owned by Russians - instead, they're registered with companies in India, the Seychelles, Hong Kong, or Vietnam. Selling to these third countries is not illegal. A ship broker, who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the discussions, said the sale of used ships by the Western shipowners (who usually don't know where the ship will end up) ultimately came down to profits. "An investor is only interested in one thing, and that is money. I think the ethical line is very thin. If it's allowed, they'll do it," the broker said. Source:

putin wants to be first in Mars. “For today, we don't have these materials, but, overall, this is possible, and we will work on it. So why am I saying this? We have been hearing from abroad, and we have been hearing it all around that we need to work on Mars, and we need to reach Mars. But we don't have the materials, not yet, but we'll try to make sure that Russia is the first to develop these materials” the Russian dictator said. He wants Russians to land first on Mars, while they are not even able to properly land a capsule on the moon. The Luna-25 lander —  the first Soviet or Russian moon probe since Luna-24 in 1976 — crashed into the moon on Aug. 19, 2023.
