⚡All thermal power plants in Ukraine are damaged or destroyed, reports UkrEnergo.

Currently, their share in electricity production has decreased to 5%.

Two hydroelectric power stations are completely out of order. Nuclear power plants are operational, but many units undergo maintenance during the summer.

Up to 40% (more than 8 GW) of maneuverable capacities, used to cover morning and evening consumption peaks, are also destroyed.

With imports of up to 1.7 GW from the EU, the deficit can only be partially covered.

Restoring all generating capacities before winter is "impossible".

"Electricity consumption restrictions will remain a part of our lives for a long time due to the significant losses of Ukrainian power plants. The repair campaign will be more complicated because the volumes of restoration are very large," UkrEnergo statement says.

⚡Russian State Duma is discussing the ban on the niqab.

Earlier this year, Tajikistan banned the wearing of niqabs, and thousands of Tajik women rushed to the Russian border where it's still legal to wear it

Mikhail Matveev, a member of State Duma, has drafted a law that potentially outlaws this practice, but he insists that it has nothing to do with niqabs in particular: "The bill will not include any mention of niqabs, burqas or ritual masks worn by members of Polynesian tribes. The motivation behind the bill is not religious, but rather security and identity-related issues"

Nearly 2 million people in Russia took part in a survey on the ban on niqabs. 86% of the respondents support banning them.

Lol...tha so called nuclear umbrella is not a guarantee of survive but a deterrence in doubt and does not mean anything as long as said nation is being pounded by a nuclear state.


Now it will be left for USA to decides it fate base on home call which we all know won't buy into the idea of getting killed for someone far Asia.




Your question should be will the USA engage a nuclear state for any of the Baltic state?



Not having an offensive capability is simply their choice made by Abe for USA protection.

The question we all asking is will the USA attack the state of China for Japan in any case of engagement? This is far from simulation, but actual reality, western citizens are not ready for that.



Until this treaty are put to test, then it just a mere paper.




And in the advent of that, I guess the USA cities will be shiny with more beautiful claded glass structure right?

The USA wont just be radioactive wasteland...but it will also turn a biologically infected atmosphere.



Let go there...it has always been proven.


No need to argue over eventualities,
What will happen or what won't happen.

One thing is certain the USA have fought wars over it's defence treaty
The USA have fought a war because South Korea was invaded.
Fought the gulf war over Kuwait
Fought the Vietnam over south Vietnam.
All this because of a mere paper right


Like I said we should be arguing over eventualities.One thing is constant One thing is ironclad that can't not be hidden. Is that NATO is over 75 years old, no member of its alliance have ever been attacked by another country both nuclear armed or not. Article 5 is just a mere clause in the NATO charter, yet no one has tried to put it to the test.


I pray you get to the corridor of power and advised maybe Putin or XI to try and put the USA treaty with Japan to test, and see how it goes

Cheers

Ready to deliver hell on a moment notice

I don't understand why they think one country can have everything while the others can't.

This is why I love Russia.

Russia has China, North Korea, Iran as neighbors but even encourages and helps them to get nukes.

You don't see Russia trying to stop them from getting nukes.

We not asking if the USA war in Vietnam was a failure, the bottom line is the USA fought for south Vietnamese

Russia Putin threatened to invade Finland if they applied for NATO
Putin threatened to ATTACK Poland if it was used as a staging point to give weapons to Ukraine
Putin threatened to ATTACK Western targets if tanks were sent into Ukraine
Putin threatened to ATTACK Western targets if Western weapons were used to ATTACK target i n Russia


All I listed has happened yet not a single move by Russia.

Let's wait and see
