Here are News Reports and some of my thoughts on the ongoing Russia-Ukraine War:

* Russia to earn more from Oil and Gas in 2022
Despite massive Sanctions from the West, Russia is expected to earn more from selling its Oil and Gas this Year (2022) due to high Prices and increased Trade with India and China. Russia is expected to earn Usd 320 billion from Oil and Gas in 2022, up by more than 33% compared to 2021

* Russia Kalibrs Neptune Missile Manufacturer
Interesting that Russia just “Kalibered” (attacked with their Kalibr Cruise Missiles) the Vizar Manufacturing Facility near the Ukrainian Capital of Kyiv which produces the R360 Neptune Anti-Ship Missiles

* China starts buying Oil and Gas from Russia using Yuan-Ruble Trade
China has started buying Oil and Gas from Russia using the direct Chinese Yuan to Russian Ruble Trade Arrangement, and the Goods bought using that arrangement is set to arrive soon in China 
SOURCE: China is buying Russian Energy with its own Currency, marking the first Commodities paid for in Yuan since Western Sanctions hit Moscow {Archived Link}

* Russia starts dropping Bombs on last Ukrainian Forces in Mariupol
The last of the Ukrainian Forces still resisiting in the City of Mariupol consisting of around 2,900 Ukrainian Troops and Foreign Mercenaries are still holding out at the Azovstal Steel Plant despite calls by Russia for them to surrender. As a result, Russia has started dropping large, Bunker Buster Bombs on them

* Israel adds Chinese Yuan on its Reserve Holdings 
The Central Bank of Israel has added the Chinese Yuan Currency as part of its Reserve Holdings for the first time in its History while at the same time reducing its Reserve Holdings of Western Currencies like the United States (US) Dollar, Euro and United Kingdom (UK) Pounds

* EU allows payment in Ruble for Russian Natural Gas
Well, well, well, it looks like the European Union (EU) has blinked first in their staredown with Vladimir Putin as they will now be allowing the payment of Natural Gas from Russia using Russia’s Ruble Currency
SOURCE: EU changes Tune on Ruble Gas Payments {Archived Link}

* Comedian Zelensky begs G7 and IMF for Usd 50 billion
Ukraine’s Comedian President Volodymyr Zelensky is begging the Group of Seven (G7) Countries and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for Usd 50 billion to sustain the War in Ukraine, and that’s just for the next six Months only. The G7 comprises of the Countries of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States (US)

* “Don’t come to Ukraine with Empty Hands” – Zelensky to World Leaders
Ukraine’s Comedian President Volodymy Zelensky tells the World’s Leaders not to go to Ukraine with “Empty Hands”. Ahem, I didn’t realize Beggars could be so demanding and choosy these Days
SOURCE: Leaders who plan to visit Ukraine "should not come with Empty Hands," Zelensky Says {Archived Link}

* Malaysia still willing to supply Semiconductors to Russia
Malaysia said that they are still willing to provide Semiconductors to Russia. We have our differences with Malaysia over Sabah, but I cannot help but admire their fearlessness in defying pressure not only from the United States (US), but also from their former Colonizer the United Kingdom (US) who is a very close ally of the US. Well done, Malaysia 
SOURCE: Malaysia will not reject Russia’s request to supply Semiconductors {Archived Link}

* Russia warns about the threat of Nuclear War
Russia has just warned that the threat of World War 3 and Nuclear Conflict is real as the United States (US) and its Vassal Countries met recently to talk about providing even more Weapons to Ukraine. All I can say is that the anticipation is causing too much Stress that they might as well just get over and do it
SOURCE: Russia's Lavrov warns of 'Real' Danger of World War III {Archived Link}

* Russia stops supply of Natural Gas to Poland and Bulgaria
Russia has now stopped the supply of its Natural Gas to Poland and Bulgaria. Both Countries have refused to far to pay for the Gas using Rubles as Russia had insisted

* Germany sending back Afghan Refugees to accommodate Ukrainian Refugees
How nice of Germany to go out and openly show preference to one set of Refugees to the point of sending back Afghan Refugees to accommodate Ukrainian Refugees
