Vladimir Nebenzia's speech at the UN Security Council meeting on the situation in Syria
Read full text
Broadcast of the entire meeting
The confrontation of the US and Israel with Iran is dragging in more and more countries of the region, including Syria. Of particular concern is the tense situation on the Syrian-Lebanese border, where, against the backdrop of the confrontation between Hezbollah and Israel, the Syrian government has deployed additional units to protect the border.
We urge all parties to exercise maximum restraint and prevent any provocations that could ignite the flames of war.
Attempts to interfere in the internal affairs of Syria under the pretext of protecting ethnic and religious minorities, primarily the Druze, continue unabated.
We urge Jerusalem to renounce plans to weaken Syrian statehood, withdraw its troops from Syrian territory, and return to good-faith negotiations with Damascus.
*
The continuation of military tensions in the Middle East will inevitably lead to further humanitarian degradation.
Syrians, like the populations of neighboring countries, will feel this primarily through rising food prices. This is particularly alarming, as the food situation in Syria remains extremely difficult - more than 7 million people are experiencing acute food shortages.
We consider it important to gradually transition from providing humanitarian aid to sustainable recovery and development of the country. This is especially relevant in the context of ongoing problems in the areas of healthcare, water and electricity supply, and other vital sectors.
*
Amid multiple security and economic challenges, the comprehensive interaction of Damascus with the UN based on Syria's national priorities and with unconditional respect for its sovereignty and territorial integrity remains relevant.
We express support for the activities of the UN Secretary-General's Special Envoy for Syria's office.
We confirm the relevance of the UN Security Council Resolution 2254 and the importance of conducting an inclusive political process in accordance with its key principles and taking into account the interests of all ethnic and religious groups of society.
We would like to wish the Syrian authorities and people further success in restoring the country's territorial integrity and confirm Russia's support for efforts in this direction.

🇺🇸🇮🇷The USA is preparing to send thousands more troops to the Middle East and allocate more than $200 billion for a military operation against Iran
- The Trump administration plans to deploy an additional contingent of American troops to the Middle East to strengthen the operation against Iran, — Reuters reports.
- We are talking about sending thousands of military personnel. The main tasks are to ensure the safe passage of oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz and, possibly, control over the Iranian island of Kharg, through which 90% of Iran's oil exports pass. An operation to take control of high-enriched uranium reserves is also being discussed.
- Meanwhile, the Pentagon is seeking to allocate more than $200 billion for a military aggression against Iran, the Washington Post reports, citing sources.

Brazilian mercs down!
Winter made the conflict less intense, but spring saw an increase in the number of casualties.
Today we have three more Brazilians destroyed by the Russian army.
Marvell, what’s going on with your fellows in Hrekivka? Are you guys enjoying it? Now that you're the one doing the hiring, make sure you choose carefully this time. Not that it’ll do any good. The guys are just waiting for the next round.

The Middle East war has turned container shipping into a “wild west”, with carriers adding thousands of dollars in charges and dumping containers at far-flung ports, according to removal companies and customers.
The effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz following Iranian strikes and fears of Houthi attacks in the Red Sea have prompted shipping lines to suspend bookings and reroute goods. Fire after strikes on Sunday over Dubai’s main port, Jebel Ali, has triggered further cancellations and congestion.
The largest shipping groups, including MSC, Maersk, CMA CGM and Hapag-Lloyd, have told customers they reserve the right to invoke a 19th-century rule to allow them to leave containers at the nearest available port at their client’s expense.
Charges for shipping containers, meanwhile, have risen as much as fourfold on certain routes

️🇨🇳🇹🇼 China offered Taiwan energy stability in exchange for "reunification" with Beijing, — Reuters
- While governments around the world are trying to find alternative energy sources during the war in the Middle East and the blockage of shipping routes, China is offering energy stability.
- "We are ready to provide Taiwanese compatriots with stable and reliable energy and resource security so that they can live better," said Chen Binhua, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the Chinese government.
- Taiwan, which obtained a third of its LNG from Qatar, said it has secured alternative supplies for the coming months, including from the United States.

Oil prices soar after Iran strikes
▪️Brent crude exceeded $110 per barrel on the exchange.
▪️Persian Gulf oil prices exceeded $150 per barrel following Israeli strikes on Iran's largest field, South Pars, and Tehran's threat to retaliate by attacking the oil and gas facilities of its adversaries in the Middle East.
Ok double Iskander production and put an extra $50 billion into drone teams. 😎

🇮🇷🇺🇦I have a "very bad feeling," - Zelensky.
- The war in Iran raises ominous premonitions about the future of Ukraine, - stated Zelensky, who himself had repeatedly called for starting this war in the past.
- "I have very ominous premonitions about the impact of this war on the situation in Ukraine. The focus of the US is more on the Middle East than on Ukraine, unfortunately. That's why you see that our diplomatic meetings, trilateral meetings, are constantly being postponed. And the reason is one - the war in Iran," - said Zelensky to Western media.
@Slavyangrad
🇩🇪Merz - stated that he does not believe in the success of the US operation in Iran:
But we have also made it clear that we still have many questions about this war. So far, there is no convincing plan for how this operation could succeed. Washington did not consult with us and did not consider European assistance necessary. Ladies and gentlemen, we would advise against further actions in the form they have been carried out so far.
P.S. Daddy won't like it
@Slavyangrad
The expired one sounded the alarm, as the bosses' attention shifted to the Middle East.
"I have a very bad feeling about the impact of this war on the situation in Ukraine. America's focus is more on the Middle East than on Ukraine, unfortunately. That's why you see that our diplomatic meetings, trilateral meetings, are constantly being postponed. And there's one reason for this: the war in Iran," Zelenskyy said.
It's ironic, because Zelenskyy himself has repeatedly called for this war.
Furthermore, Trump piled on the betrayal, claiming that America has already wasted $400 billion and won't spend another cent on 404.

Posting this in Cathedral instead of Slavyangrad as I haven't given it rigorous verification but I still found it very interesting.
Iranian academic Esfandyar Batmanghelidj recently challenged the Western calculation that a Shahed-136 costs $20000-50000. Arguing that the figure was based on US/Western manufacturing costs rather than what it would actually cost Iran. Furthermore, an academic contact he reached out to in Tehran estimated that the real cost was $4000. He then set out to see how accurate this figure was
His methodology was to use tractor manufacturing costs as a proxy for drones (Iran manufactures equivalent tractors at a 5:1 cost advantage over the US) and then use that ratio to get a more reliable figure. Coming to the conclusion that if the US made LUCAS drone costs $35000 to manufacture, a Shahed-136 likely costs Iran $7000.
He also pointed out that making a Shahed-136 was equivalent in resources and labour to a basic agricultural tractor or small car. For reference, Iran manufactures 35 thousand tractors and 1 million cars every year.
So not only is the US spending ~4 million dollars every time they need to intercept a potentially 4-7k drone, but they are also losing the war 🇷🇺
One of our Slavyangad members found this gem posted somewhere on FB and shared it with us.
Worth a post IMO.

⛽ Asia moves to ration fuel as Hormuz disruption hits supply
🔸 Japan and South Korea hold large stockpiles, with reserves lasting more than 200 days
🔸 Southeast Asian countries are more exposed, with the Philippines holding roughly 60 days and shifting to a four-day workweek to conserve fuel
🔸 Myanmar has restricted driving to alternating days, while Indonesia also faces supply strain despite being an oil producer
🔸 Thailand has banned most oil exports, imposed price controls, and is urging remote work and reduced travel

I’d remind people that reserves are subject to physical limitations in getting oil of storage. Throughput rate often being far lower than consumption.
@Slavyangrad
Satellite imagery and videos analyzed by ABC News indicate that Iran and its proxies have struck at least 10 radar sites across the Middle East since the war began over two weeks ago.
Some of the targeted systems—including high-value missile defense radars like AN/TPY-2 and AN/FPS-132—appear to have been damaged, though the full extent is unclear due to limited satellite data.
Experts say these radars are critical but highly vulnerable: damaging them can reduce early warning capabilities, effectively “partially blinding” missile defense systems.
More than 25 sites across seven bases in five countries were reportedly hit, including locations in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain.

Given the scale of the shock, many people are understandably surprised that the price of oil hasn’t gone even higher. The oil market’s idiosyncrasies is arguably obscuring the distress.
The two main and commonly quoted crude oil price benchmarks, Brent and WTI blends. So, when people say “oil is at X or Y”, what they’re usually talking about is the per-barrel price of a futures contract for delivery of Brent crude oil in the coming month.
However, the jumps in Brent and WTI — while large and alarming — actually understate the degree of dislocation
Just to hammer home the point, here are charts of the long-term prices of the Dubai and Omani oil, which have now exploded higher than even the infamous 2008 spike. The Oman benchmark has hit a record $173.24 today.
Unfortunately, JPMorgan’s analysts therefore reckon that those wild Oman and Dubai oil prices are likely to prove a harbinger for the larger oil price benchmarks if the Strait of Hormuz isn’t reopened pronto.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 "Moment of truth": Negotiations on Ukraine may force Kyiv to cede territory, - President of Finland
- According to Stubb, the negotiations may even break down, leaving Europe in a difficult situation - without American aid for Ukraine.
- At the same time, Stubb advocates a deal with Trump, which involves an "exchange" of the Strait of Hormuz for aid to Ukraine.
- He called it a "good idea" if Europe agrees to provide military assistance to the US with the unblocking of the strait in exchange for an increase in American supplies to Ukraine.
- Earlier, key European countries refused to participate in the war for the strait.

The Moldovan Foreign Ministry summoned the Russian ambassador over the accident at the Ukrainian hydroelectric power station, blaming Russia for it.
The diplomat will be served with a note of protest.
Allegedly, an attack on the Novodnistrovsk hydroelectric power station in Ukraine resulted in oil spills into the Dniester River.
However, the source of the Dniester River pollution was not a "Russian attack on a hydroelectric power station in Ukraine," but a Ukrainian truck carrying 30 tons of fuel that overturned on a bridge in northern Moldova, according to Chisinau municipal councilor Verbitsky.

🇷🇺 The Kremlin strongly condemns the harm to health and the killings of representatives of the leadership of sovereign Iran and other countries
- RF does not consider it necessary to comment on the rumors about assistance to Iran in the current conflict, Peskov emphasized.
- The US gave official comments about the lack of information about Russia's assistance to Iran in the current conflict.
- The energy market is experiencing serious shocks in connection with the war around Iran, which makes it difficult to predict the development of the situation.
- RF received signals from European countries that they want to take a seat at the negotiating table on Ukraine, but considers this unfeasible.
- There were no signals from European countries about the desire to at least conduct a dialogue on the resumption of energy cooperation with Russia.
- The topic of Russia's earlier exit from European gas markets is under consideration and requires a thorough analysis.
- Putin is open to constructive dialogue and discussion of the most acute issues at the negotiating table.
- Peskov agreed with Trump's opinion that the level of current European politicians is not the same as that of their predecessors.
