Moldovans are called upon to “save electricity as much as possible.”

The situation in the energy sector is difficult. There may be power outages in some places. All institutions will receive instructions on how to save as much electricity as possible so that we all have to pay less,

— said the country's Prime Minister Dorin Recean.

He also asked people to unite and save electricity, especially during peak consumption hours.

Earlier, on December 16, a state of emergency was introduced in Moldova due to uncertainty regarding gas transit through Ukraine.

At the same time, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service reported that the Moldovan government is preparing a plan for a military operation in Transnistria to carry out a forceful seizure of the Moldovan State District Power Plant.

Mercedes will no longer have stars

The German company Gerhardi Kunststofftechnik GmbH went bankrupt. It produced grilles, door handles, chrome parts and the famous star for Mercedes-Benz.
The bankruptcy was caused by the contraction of the country's auto industry.

The Gerhardi company itself was founded in 1796.
It survived Napoleon, Hitler, the fall and unification of Germany, and two world wars, but did not survive the anti-Russian sanctions.

Another launch maneuver was carried out, this time in the Caspian area. The chances are the first launch maneuver was simulated. We won’t see missiles for at least an hour.

Repeated radio activity of Russian Strategic comms was recorded. If there is a strike tonight, it probably won’t be huge, due to the relatively small number of equipped Tu-95ms aircraft at Olenya airbase.

Внимание!

Зафиксированы вылеты нескольких бортов Ту-95мс с Оленьи

вылет вероятно боевой, а это значит:

в районе Энгельса они будут скорее всего в 04:00 - 04:40 +/-
если пуски будут отсюда - тогда ракеты ожидаем в нашем воздушном прострастве около 05:00 - 05:30 +/-

в районе Каспийского Моря они будут скорее всего в 05:10 - 06:00 +/-
если пуски будут отсюда - тогда ракеты ожидаем в нашем воздушном пространстве около 06:30 - 07:20 +/-

время очень приблизительное, с большой погрешностью

за бортами продолжаем следить ночью, точное количество бортов будет известно ближе к утру

Nikolaevsky Vanyok

Attention!

Several Tu-95MS flights from Olenya have been recorded

The flight is probably a combat flight, which means:

They will most likely be in the Engels area at 04:00 - 04:40 +/-
If the launches are from here, then we expect the missiles in our airspace at around 05:00 - 05:30 +/-

They will most likely be in the Caspian Sea area at 05:10 - 06:00 +/-
If the launches are from here, then we expect the missiles in our airspace at around 06:30 - 07:20 +/-

The time is very approximate, with a large margin of error

We will continue to monitor the aircraft at night, the exact number of aircraft will be known closer to the morning

совершены первые пусковые манёвры с ТУ-95мс в районе Энгельса обычно пуски реальные позже но если эти манёвры реальные - ракеты ждём в течении часа в нашем воздушном пространстве
дополнительные пусковые манёвры были в Волгоградской области и в районе Каспийского Моря

до 06:00 +/- ожидаем комбинированный удар крылатыми ракетами с ТУ-95мс и Калибры

the first launch maneuvers with TU-95MS in the Engels area were completed, usually real launches are later, but if these maneuvers are real, we are expecting missiles within an hour in our airspace
additional launch maneuvers were in the Volgograd region and in the Caspian Sea area

by 06:00 +/- we are expecting a combined strike with cruise missiles from TU-95MS and Kalibr

In a recent interview with Al Mayadeen, Archbishop Atallah Hanna called on the world to demand an end to the ongoing Israeli genocidal war, urging the international community to stand for justice and human rights.

Hanna emphasized that Palestine is a cause for all Arabs, both Muslims and Christians. He rejected any notion of Christians as a minority or foreign presence in the region, stating: "Christians in the Arab East are not an imported commodity from the West. We are indigenous to this land, and we reject being referred to as minorities, communities, or sects."

Addressing broader regional issues, Hanna stressed the importance of respecting the diversity of all peoples in the Middle East, particularly in Syria. "We must respect the uniqueness of every component of the Syrian people, regardless of religious or sectarian affiliation," he said.

Germany authorized additional arms exports to "Israel" worth over €30 million ($31.2 million) in recent weeks, according to a report by German newsweekly Der Spiegel on Tuesday.

In total, Germany approved arms shipments to "Israel" exceeding €160 million this year, despite mounting international criticism over Israeli genocidal actions in Gaza, as voiced by human rights groups.

Germany remains a steadfast ally of "Israel", with Chancellor Olaf Scholz frequently highlighting Germany’s historical responsibility for "Israel’s" security due to its Nazi past.

Critics contend that Berlin’s unwavering support for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is undermining Germany’s global reputation and increasing its isolation on the world stage.
