The Moscow Times: Russia unilaterally decides to redraw maritime borders with Lithuania and Finland in the Baltic Sea - Euromaidan Press
Russian authorities have decided unilaterally to change the country's maritime borders with Lithuania and Finland in the Baltic Sea, declaring new internal waters and adjusting geographical coordinates, according to a draft government decree published on the legal acts portal.
The UK increased its territorial waters back in Thatcher’s time, I think just by increasing the set distance from the shoreline that was considered territory. This redefined sea areas that were previously classed as international waters, and led to conflict with Spanish and French fishermen, who were very much portrayed as villains in the press at the time (‘coming over here, stealing our fish’).don't fully understand it but the usa also claimed more waters recently.

Tbh it is believed this is true (30mm ammunition had been reported) but the US is being hyper cautious about announcing this because it’s quite a serious accusation with serious consequences. At the very least they are assisting Russia in such a way that Russia can focus on producing arms while China keeps them in other goods. Don’t know if this is idealistic support or just opportunism from China which is facing some economic difficulties and happy to be paid generously by a resource-rich Russia.
Profiteering in wartime? Never!! I think the USA needs to cut its own leaks into the Russian wartime economy before they go accusing China. I would suspect, given the usual way the Chinese government operates, that any official sales into Russia aren't controversial. But they probably have a very light hand with enterprising profiteers that aren't the CPC.
not seen this reported elsewhere in british press which seems strange to me...the source is ReutersVladimir Putin ready to 'freeze' war in Ukraine with ceasefire recognising recent Russian gains, sources say
Vladimir Putin reportedly views recent gains in the war as enough to sell a victory to the Russian people, saving him from making unpopular decisions like spending more money and mobilising more people.news.sky.com
Yeah so yesterdays news cycle. Seems like a major story to me. Independent is owned by Alexander Lebedev so not surprising
It is new. When was the last time Putin publicly proposed a ceasefire?
Thats wrong, of course he wants a ceasefire, he has achieved his objectives of occupying the annexed territory.
