Nice. Dat lijkt me een vliegtuigbom. Artillerie is het zeker niet of ze moeten ergens een Sturmtiger of een spoorwegkanon hebben weten te regelen.

Poland allows sanctioned timber from Belarus to enter the EU with fake documents—investigation
Belarusian timber under sanctions is being imported into the EU through Poland using forged documents stating that the products are coming from Kazakhstan. Polish customs officials say they do not have the physical capacity to verify the authenticity of all customs declarations.

This is stated in a joint investigation by the Belarusian Investigative Center, the Schemes project of the Ukrainian edition of Radio Liberty, and Gazeta Wyborcza.

Exclusive: Russia struggles to collect oil payments as China, UAE, Turkey raise bank scrutiny
MOSCOW, March 27 (Reuters) - Russian oil firms face delays of up to several months to be paid for crude and fuel as banks in China, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) become more wary of U.S. secondary sanctions, eight sources familiar with the matter said.

Payment delays reduce revenue to the Kremlin and make them erratic, allowing Washington to achieve its dual policy sanction goals - to disrupt money going to the Kremlin to punish it for the war in Ukraine while not interrupting global energy flows.

Several banks in China, the UAE and Turkey have boosted their sanctions compliance requirements in recent weeks, resulting in delays or even the rejection of money transfers to Moscow, according to the eight banking and trading sources.

Budapest refuses to reimpose import ban on Ukrainian honey despite protests, citing ‘no impact’ – Reuters
Hungary will maintain its decision not to reintroduce a ban on Ukrainian honey imports, resisting pressure from beekeepers who argue that inexpensive Ukrainian honey is driving down prices and jeopardizing their livelihoods, Reuters reported on March 26.

Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s government banned imports of 24 agricultural products from Ukraine last year, including grain, pork and honey. On Feb. 19, it lifted the ban on honey, sparking protests from the country’s beekeepers.

Agriculture Minister Istvan Nagy told Reuters that the unilateral import ban failed to have a positive impact on the local market as wholesale purchase prices have not increased to the extent that local farmers hoped for, while it hurt companies who packaged and exported honey to the EU.

Honey exporters need the Ukrainian honey as they will not be able to meet contracted deliveries otherwise.

Asked if the government would consider reintroducing the import ban, he said “no, as it has no impact.”

Most honey imports into the EU come from China and Ukraine. Ukrainian imports accounted for 25% of the EU’s honey imports in January-August 2023, according to European Commission data.

On Nov. 29, the Slovak government decided to extend a ban on imports of grain and other agricultural products, including honey, from Ukraine.

On Sept. 18, farmers across Bulgaria began protesting the country’s parliament’s decision to resume agricultural imports from Ukraine. The protesters are demanding that the government extend the ban on imports of Ukrainian sunflower, wheat, corn and rapeseed.

They also want a ban on imports of sunflower oil, fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables, milk and dairy products, meat and meat products, honey and beekeeping products from Ukraine.

Man charged with murdering his own girlfriend reportedly former Wagner mercenary
A Moscow court has placed a man suspected of brutally murdering his girlfriend in pretrial detention, independent news outlet Mediazona reported Wednesday.

The Russian Investigative Committee said the unnamed 51-year-old had beaten his 42-year-old girlfriend on Sunday, before stabbing her at least 16 times.

Daily tabloid Moskovsky Komsomolets said the accused had cut off the woman’s ear, and then called the police himself to report the murder. Telegram channel VCHK-OGPU, which specialises in crime stories, wrote that the victim’s 15-year-old daughter was in the apartment at the time of the murder.

VCHK-OGPU named the defendant as Sergey Mironov. Moskovsky Komsomolets reported the defendant was a former Wagner mercenary who had fought in Ukraine and had a criminal record.

This is one of many cases of veterans committing crimes after returning from fighting in Ukraine. On 19 March, another former convict and Ukraine veteran, Alexey Isakov, shot his business partner dead in a St. Petersburg restaurant. On 14 March, a Moscow court sentenced Stanislav Ionkin to 20 years in prison for starting a fire in the Polygon nightclub in the city of Kostroma, in central Russia, in November 2022, in which 13 people died.
