World leaders arrive at the G7 summit in Bali, Indonesia as talks continue over support for Ukraine and how to address food security issues as a result of Russia's invasion.

Putin told Recep Tayyip Erdogan that he was open to dialogue with Ukraine if Kyiv accepts territories occupied by Moscow as Russian; Funeral of ex-Pope Benedict XVI held, coffin taken to be buried; UK’s Prince Harry alleges brother William attacked him: Report; Russia sends more Arctic oil to China and India after sanctions by EU and G7 nations.
#VladimirPutin #RussiaUkraineWar #PopeBenedictXVI
Trade sources and data revealed that Russia is sending more crude oil produced in the Arctic region to China and India, and at steeper discounts. This comes after Europe put heavy sanctions on Russian supplies last month. As per reports, Arctic grades Arco, Arco/Novy Port and Varandey do not usually come to the East. But reportedly they are now doing supplying further afield after the European Union, G7 nations and Australia introduced a price cap on Russian oil in December, on top of an EU embargo on Russian crude by sea.

Western Sanctions Are, Paying Off As Russian Oil , Revenues Fall.
According to the International Energy Agency,
Russian oil revenues fell in November despite a boost
in production to just below levels prior to the Ukraine invasion.
'The Guardian' reports that the falling revenue
is a sign that Western sanctions and other efforts
to cut off Russia's income have been successful. .
'The Guardian' reports that the falling revenue
is a sign that Western sanctions and other efforts

In November, the IEA estimated
that Russia earned just
$15.8 billion from oil sales. .
That is the second-lowest monthly
earnings Russia has reported this year
after bringing in just $14.7 billion in September.
The dipping revenue report comes despite Russia
increasing its export of crude oil to 8.1 million
barrels per day, its highest level since April.
In December, the EU and G7 introduced
a $60-a-barrel price cap on Russian oil.
On December 14, the price
of non-Russian oil had climbed
to about $81 a barrel.
President Vladimir Putin has said the cap will
not have a significant impact on Russia’s economy
but could harm the international energy market.

by surging inflation, the full impact
of embargoes on Russian crude and

Taiwan is bolstering its defence strategy and policies to prep itself for any sudden Chinese aggression. The threat of sudden Chinese attack has loomed over Taiwan for around 70 years now. And with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, this possibility can’t be completely ruled out. Infact, China had sent its 47 fighter planes across Taiwan Strait last month in order to make its intentions crystal clear. As precautionary measures, Taiwan has announced quite a few steps in order to make itself more prepared in case the dragon decides to spew fire. In this video, we first explain the ‘Porcupine Strategy’ that Taiwan says can help protect it….and then outline the most recent steps announced by it.

After reviewing the results of two dozen war games, a
Washington think tank concluded that repelling an invasion
would be a costly victory for the United States and its allies.
According to the Center for Strategic and International
Studies (CSIS), war games suggest that Chinese
forces would be unable to occupy Taipei. .
CSIS's report suggests that the 110-mile wide Taiwan Strait, which separates China from Taiwan, would be the
site of a deadly air and maritime battle.
The series of war games was modeled
after the most likely scenario
for a Chinese attack on Taiwan. .
The invasion always starts the same way:
an opening bombardment destroys most
of Taiwan's Navy and Air Force in
the first hours of hostilities, CSIS report, via 'Newsweek'.
The war games showed that Chinese forces were
unable to capture working ports or airfields, which
would restrict their ability to sustain an invasion.
CSIS also found that the losses on all sides of the conflict
would be staggering, and that damage to Taiwan's
economy and infrastructure would be catastrophic.
