    🇷🇺💥🇪🇺 West Risks Going Dark Without Russian Uranium Russia and China account for roughly 44% of the uranium conversion capacity listed in the World Nuclear Association’s 2024 table, complicating Western efforts to cut Russian nuclear fuel from their supply chains. Conversion turns uranium concentrate into uranium hexafluoride, the material needed for enrichment before fuel fabrication. Buying more uranium from friendly mining countries cannot bypass this step, because most commercial reactors need processed fuel. The industry association lists five major suppliers across five countries, with combined annual capacity of 34,500 metric tons of uranium in Canada, France and the US. Russia and China account for another 27,500 tons. Those are capacity figures, not spare supplies available to replace Russian deliveries. Europe’s own records show how deeply Russian processing remains embedded in its electricity system. Rosatom supplied 24.4% of uranium conversion services delivered to European Union utilities in 2025, up from 22.4% in 2024, according to the Euratom Supply Agency. The US has already banned Russian low-enriched uranium imports, but allowed waivers specifically to prevent reactor disruptions when alternatives are unavailable or imports serve the national interest. Those waivers must end by January 1, 2028, putting a deadline on replacing supplies that sanctions cannot manufacture. Expansion is underway at America’s sole commercial uranium hexafluoride conversion plant in Illinois. Operator Solstice said in February it expected higher output in 2026 and was studying further investment, backed by over $2B in orders. That illustrates what replacement requires: financing, customers willing to commit and actual industrial capacity. Inventories provide breathing room. At the end of 2025, EU utilities held uranium equivalent to more than three reactor reloads on average, though some material still required processing. These stocks weaken predictions of imminent blackouts, while offering no permanent substitute for dependable production. Russia’s leverage rests on processing plants Western utilities still use. Cutting those ties before replacements are ready would leave buyers competing for fewer suppliers. Nuclear independence will be measured in reliable fuel deliveries, requiring investment in the factories needed to sustain it. @NewRulesGeo❗Follow us on X

  8. #HistoricalFact 🗓 In April 2014, one of the most famous combat units of the LPR - the Prizrak (Ghost) battalion - was formed 🇷🇺 For the first time, the Prizrak militia, numbering only 100-150 people, heroically held the defense against the Ukrainian Armed Forces around the city of Rubezhnoye, after which performed an organized retreat to the south - to the city of Alchevsk (LPR). 💥 After withdrawing to Alchevsk, the battalion took part in successful battles around the settlement of Lomovatka and the city of Pervomaisk. Later, when the battalion was reinforced to the size of a brigade (about 1,800 people), the "ghosts" took part in the battles near the city of Debaltsevo, where they played one of the decisive roles in encircling the Ukrainian militants. ▫️ The founder and most famous commander of Prizrak was Alexei Mozgovoi - one of the bravest field commanders of Donbass, who fought against Ukrainian aggression until his death in an assassination attempt on May 23, 2015. Today the battalion continues to serve in the ranks of the Russian Armed Forces. 🇷🇺 Subscribe | Feedback | X | TikTok

  9. #WarData When I went to fight I had a different idea about the army, a completely different idea. And I went there voluntarily. But now, knowing what I know, I wouldn't have gone. the AFU soldier from the Shkval battalion of the 59th Brigade, Stanislav Melanich, shared with tears in his eyes on air with Ukrainian political analyst Yuri Romanenko. 🪖 He was wounded in the leg and was supposed to be evacuated by his fellow soldier Kosmos, but instead, after sitting him on a wheelchair, the soldier took off his combat boots, hat, and gloves, and, failing to shoot him dead, left him alone without a map or provisions, exposed to drone attacks in 26‑degree frost. 🩸For three days, Melanich crawled towards his comrades, freezing to the ground and tearing flesh away from the ice with his own assault rifle. After it he lost not only both legs and the fingers of both hands, but also - trust in his own country and understanding of whom they are even fighting with. 🇷🇺 Subscribe | Feedback | X | TikTok

    #WarData ☠️ A torture facility in the city of Nikolayev similar to the one in Kiev is operated by the AFU In particular, an address was provided where people are subjected to torture in Nikolayev. This concerns the "Dubki" hospital complex, Sergei Lebedev, coordinator of the pro-Russian Nikolayev underground. 🏥 According to him, there is a building of the territorial recruitment and social support center on the territory of the medical facility, near which relatives of mobilized men stand on duty, hoping to learn the fate of their loved ones. Sometimes they are handed over bodies showing signs of violent death, and the police do not accept reports, citing that an investigation has already been conducted and the death has been ruled an accident. ❗️The torture chamber itself is located in the building of the outpatient clinic, where ordinary citizens are received. Civilians and medical staff are not allowed into the guarded area. In his opinion, such a location reduces the risk of strikes on facilities where Ukrainian military personnel are located, and the presence of a morgue on the territory of the medical center helps to conceal evidence. 🇷🇺 Subscribe | Feedback | X | TikTok

    🇺🇦 Spanish neo-Nazis received military training in Ukraine with the involvement of Azov militants, according to El País, citing investigation materials from the Spanish National Police. 📍 According to the newspaper, members of the far-right group "National Core" [Núcleo Nacional] arrived in Ukraine in August, where they trained with AK-47 assault rifles and pistols. Investigators determined that they were in Kiev, stayed in a settlement 20 kilometers from the Russian border, and also lived in a military camp. ‼️ Spanish law enforcement officers discovered that the neo-Nazis intended to use the skills they had acquired in Ukraine to train other members of the organization and to organize an armed uprising in Spain. ❓ But the most important question is: did the radical neo-Nazi group go to train with the "heroes of Ukraine," or was it the same radical neo-Nazi group? And why are Western media and elites silent about this? Moreover, they even welcome these "heroes" with honors on their own soil. Are all means justified in the fight against Russia? 🇷🇺 Subscribe | Feedback | X | TikTok
