Did anyone dig into historical media about Auginish Alumina? There is some real eyebrow raisers 😳 The Irish Independent reported back in 2013 that a highly profitable Auginish Alumina paid just €1,952 in total corporation tax over 5 years despite €191 million in sales 🤔

Sweden, at the request of Ukraine, arrested the ship Caffa, which was transporting grain from Crimea
As stated by the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Ruslan Kravchenko, this is the first case when, at the request of the Ukrainian prosecutor's office for international legal assistance, a foreign court approved the arrest of a ship that could have been involved in the illegal export of Ukrainian products from the temporarily occupied territory.
The ship Caffa (previously called "Ufa") systematically violated the order of entry/exit to the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine with the aim of harming the interests of the state. To conceal this activity, a scheme of false registration was used: the ship is listed as Guinea False in international databases.
Does giving the enemy a road map — or rather a railroad map — to destroy your own logistics get you a prison sentence in Russia?
Asking for Maksim Kalashnikov.
First Irish politician out of the traps to call for Aughinish Alumina to stop sending material to Russia. This is going to snowball over the weekend once other revelations about the plant come out.
There is progress in our negotiations with the European Union regarding Ukraine’s membership. We will have a very clear schedule of opportunities for moving forward in the negotiations, especially after the changes in Hungary. We met the deadlines. Now, already in June, we strongly expect to move to the opening of the clusters, which Ukraine has prepared. We've done our part. Now it’s up to the European Union.
Irish politicians are avoiding questions about Aughinish. Patrick O’Donovan refuses to answer my calls. The refinery is in his constituency
He says the Russian owned plant is not connected to Russia’s war machine, without showing evidence. They want this to blow over. It won’t
I’ve been investigating the russian refinery for days now and the story gets darker and darker. The shipments are sent to Siberia, smelted, and sold to the russian company ‘ASK’. This company distributes aluminium directly to Russia’s missile & drone manufacturers.
We raised it with the previous U.S. Administration, and we continue to discuss it with the current one – namely, providing Ukraine with licenses to produce such systems, Patriot systems. And it's not only about Ukraine – it's to all the Europeans who have such capabilities to start and to produce it massively.
Current Patriot production capacity is simply not enough to meet all the existing and potential threats around the world.
Ukraine has already shown, across many types of weapons and especially in drones, that we can move fast and produce modern systems at scale. So I ask for your support at the political level to help achieve positive decisions on these licenses as well.

KRONSTADT (St. Petersburg), June 3.
Birds of the @1usc_army, @usf_army hunted down and set ablaze the corvette Boikiy, a guided missile weapons carrier.
06:35, 03.06.26. Veleshchynskyi Dry Dock, Kronstadt (St. Petersburg) – the cradle of the russian Navy.
Tired after its voyages, the Boikiy entered scheduled maintenance in February 2026.
Project 20380 corvette Boikiy – the third corvette of the Baltic Fleet. Fairly new, untouched until now: launched in 2011, commissioned in 2013.
It built a colorful record of adventures along NATO borders, escorted the worms’ shadow oil fleet, a hardworking little vessel.
Perhaps best remembered for its triumphant collision with the research vessel Admiral Vladimirskiy.
The corvette was deflowered by Birds of the 1st Separate Center of the Unmanned Systems Forces.
And how did it go back in 1921, during the brutally suppressed Kronstadt sailors’ uprising?
“Power to the Soviets, not to the Party!”
Metaphorical, perhaps. Symbolic, certainly – a slap across the face of a dictatorship.
And increasingly, a pattern.
