If you want transport that isn’t affected by an oil crisis, get a battery electric vehicle. It’s that simple.

The Russian navy cannot enter the Black Sea because it’s scared of Ukrainian drones so instead fires warning shots at British pensioners…

Super! 💫

Data from @chandraxray has uncovered possible remains of a supernova in the middle of our Milky Way galaxy. If confirmed, this supernova piece would be one of the closest to our galaxy’s central black hole that we have ever found. https://t.co/gI5TfSJ45E

Good morning with good news: China sets official goal for EV to be 40% of heavy truck sales and 20% of fleet by 2030!

And CATL states EV heavy trucks may be 50% of sales by 2028, after being 29% in 2025.

Plan includes 80% EV trucks on key routes.

The Moscow-Saint Petersburg highway. A massive queue has formed at a gas station. Fuel sale restrictions have been introduced across Russia.

A humiliating morning for the Russian dictator, as the largest refinery in Moscow and one of the largest in Russia, now burns after a barrage of Ukrainian drones bypassed the country's most protected airspace.

Processing 12.8 million tonnes per year (245,000–250,000 barrels per day), this refinery supplies roughly 35–40% of the fuel consumed in Moscow and the surrounding region.

[MAKS 26 🇺🇦👀 @Maks_NAFO_FELLA]

More from Moscow 🔥🔥🔥🔥

15km to the Kremlin.

The refinery supplies up to 40% of Moscow's fuel market and about 70% of Moscow and the region's gasoline needs.

BREAKING: A Russian warship Grigorovich has fired warning shots at a British yacht in the English Channel French and the British navy have mobilised in response.

[WarMonitor🇺🇦🇬🇧 @WarMonitor3]

I’m told it’s the same warship that has been escorting sanctioned tankers therefore has been on high alert since one was seized by British marines.

These plots are only going to get more numerous, European intelligence services intercepted numerous Jihadist and Right wing terror groups attempting to do the same including a large plot in 2025 to assassinated Belgian political figures using drones, which can be 3D printed.

The Ukrainian military is set to produce over 10 million drones this year over doubling the soldiers on the battlefield.

SEN. KELLY: How many times have Vance and Rubio been to Ukraine? Zero. Has Trump been to Ukraine? No.

He invited Putin to United States, but he still failed to send anybody at high level in his government to visit Ukraine. Have Kushner or Witkoff been to Ukraine? They have not.

WATCH: I have spotted some very suspicious Russian airforce flights over the last couple days which they have tried to hide.
-Russian airforce is secretly transferring mercenaries and drones to Africa through Syria.
-Russian airforce is potentially flying supplies to Iran and conducting recon on Armenia from Berslan airbase in Southern Russia.
-Russian airforce has transported supplies to Murmansk Russia in order to support its submarine and sabotage operations in the North Sea.
-Russian airforce is potentially importing dual use components from Mumbai India to use it drones and missiles.

Cost of the Hormuz crisis in Selected Asian Countries So Far (annualised cost):
1 Thailand: $11b, 2.2% of GDP
>$6.5b import bill rise
2 South Korea: $36b, 2% of GDP
>$38b import bill rise
3 Japan: $77.4b, 1.8% of GDP
>$42b import bill rise
4 Singapore: $8b, 1.6% of GDP

5 Philippines: $6.16b, 1.4% of GDP

6 Indonesia: $8.4b, 0.6% of GDP

>$1.5b import bill rise

True sovereignty is impossible in a fossil-fuel-dependent economy. Meanwhile, the price of wind and solar fuel is zero and neither solar nor wind can be blockaded or tariffed: Renewables ARE national security

[Methodology integrates 3 variables:
>Net Import Reliance: Total share of oil and gas demand met by imports
>Proportion of imports passing directly through the Strait of Hormuz vs. alternate routes
>Fiscal Subsidy Exposure: Burden placed on national budgets to shield consumers from soaring fuel prices, which creates severe structural distortion even in resource-rich nations such as Malaysia]
