Ukraine Seizes Russian Military Plans in Major Kursk Raid

Brendan Cole AND John Feng  |  Jan 29, 2025 at 5:51 AM EST

Documents and devices possibly containing valuable information about Moscow's military were among the items seized by Ukraine's troops in an operation in Russia's Kursk region, according to Ukraine's military.

Soldiers from Ukraine's 8th Regiment of the Special Operations Forces (SOF) discovered the items in an operation in which seven Russian and two North Korean troops were killed.

The news comes after Russia claimed to have captured Velyka Novosilka in Ukraine's Donetsk region, although a military expert has told Newsweek that Moscow's troops may struggle to make swift advances from the settlement due to the terrain.

Newsweek has contacted the Russian defense ministry for comment.  .  .

Rheinmetall CEO Says Russia Planned His Assassination Over Arms Aid to Ukraine

Ivan Khomenko  |  Jan 29, 2025  |  18:50

Armin Papperger, the CEO of Rheinmetall, stated that Russia targeted him due to the company’s role in supplying Western arms. He emphasized that Moscow views Rheinmetall’s support for Ukraine and other allied nations as a direct threat, making it a key target in its broader efforts to undermine European defense capabilities.

In an interview with BNS during his visit to Lithuania, Papperger emphasized that Russia was not very pleased with Rheinmetall’s role in supporting Western defense efforts.

“I believe it is quite clear that countries like Russia are not very satisfied with the fact that we, as the world’s largest producer of large-caliber ammunition, are significantly contributing to the defense capabilities of Western nations,” he said.

His remarks followed NATO’s confirmation on January 28 that Russian authorities had planned his assassination. According to the Alliance, the plot was thwarted through the efforts of American and German intelligence. The attempt was reportedly part of a broader effort by Russia to target executives in the European defense industry.  .  .  .

Major Russian drone maker expands production to Ryazan shopping center

Russian drone producers seize their fourth mall, expanding from Izhevsk to Ryazan, well within the range of Ukrainian long-range drone attacks

Alya Shandra  |  29/01/2025

Russian drone manufacturer Supercam is converting Ryazan’s Solnechny shopping center into its newest production facility, ordering all tenants to vacate the 17,250-square-meter complex by 31 January 2025, Defense Express reports. The facility’s total territory of 80,000 square meters suggests potential for future expansion.

The move, also reported by the Russian media Aif Ryazan, represents a significant expansion of Russia’s drone production capacity crucial for its war against Ukraine, which is also ramping up UAV output. A new drone manufacturing facility will be located just 460 kilometers from the Ukrainian border—notably closer than existing facilities in Izhevsk, which are located over 1,200 kilometers from Ukraine.

The facility, part of the Bespilotnye Sistemy group of companies, is known for producing the Supercam S350 reconnaissance drone with a reported range of 240 kilometers and communication range of 70-100 kilometers,  .  .  .

China and India Halt Russian Oil Purchases for March – Reuters

Jan. 28, 2025

China and India have suspended March purchases of Russian oil as U.S. sanctions drive up shipping costs, Reuters reported Tuesday, citing traders and shipping data.

The U.S. Treasury Department earlier this month targeted 183 vessels, including “shadow fleet” tankers used by Russia to bypass Western oil price caps, in a sweeping sanctions package aimed at undermining Moscow’s energy revenues.

As a result, shipping on Aframax tankers — which can carry around 100,000 metric tons — for Russia’s ESPO Blend oil surged to $6.5-$7.5 million for delivery to China and $9-$10 million for delivery to India.

Offers for ESPO Blend crude supplies to China in March rose to premiums of $3 to $5 per barrel above Brent Crude, which traded at $77.30 per barrel as of mid-Tuesday, Reuters reported.

Indian refiners have not yet received fresh offers for March deliveries from traders handling Russian oil, Bharat Petroleum finance chief Vetsa Ramakrishna Gupta said last week.  .  .

Kim Jong un lashes out at Russia's heavy troop losses

Quote
Some units of the contingent of more than ten thousand North Korean soldiers who joined the Russian forces fighting the Ukrainian army in the Russian Kursk region have been withdrawn from the front line due to the high number of casualties.

Ukrainian presidential advisor Mikhail Podoliak said, “It seems that even Kim Jong-un values the lives of his subjects more than Putin values the lives of Russians”.

Oil Flow Through Russia’s Ust-Luga Appears to Pause After Attack

Sherry Su  |  January 30, 2025  |  11:09 AM EST

(Bloomberg) -- Oil flows through Russia’s Baltic Sea port of Ust-Luga appeared to pause, backing up Kyiv’s claims of a successful drone strike on a pumping station.

It would present a significant new supply threat for the global oil market if it were to be confirmed that Ukrainian drone strikes have damaged the pipeline system feeding Ust-Luga, halting oil shipments from the port for a prolonged period.

A person with knowledge of the deliveries said that Ust-Luga flows dropped to zero on Jan. 29. Shipping data seen by Bloomberg indicate a tanker left early Wednesday, although there is a gap in vessel signals after that. Neither provided a reason for the apparent decline, and there can be periods when ships don’t load anyway.

A Ukrainian security official said on Wednesday that the nation’s drones had struck Russia’s Andreapol pumping station on the Baltic Pipeline System-2, which feeds Ust-Luga, causing the link to halt. The claim couldn’t be verified at the time and the press service of Russia’s oil-pipeline operator declined to comment by phone on Thursday.

The port handled about 650,000 barrels a day of crude last year, or about 20% of Russia’s total seaborne flows  .  .  .

China Is Quietly Taking Over Russia's Tech Market

Micah McCartney  |  Jan 28, 2025 at 12:47 PM EST  |  Updated at 9:42 PM EST

Chinese IT firms are expanding in Russia, filling the gap left by Western exits after the invasion of Ukraine.

While Chinese companies are taking advantage of the ever-stronger economic ties between the two countries, concerns are being raised about Russia's level of dependence on its neighbor at a time when it is being choked by sanctions and IT firms are laying off staff.

Last year saw an 18 percent rise in the number of Chinese and Russian IT companies seeking help to penetrate "friendly markets" from the Russian-Asian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, which fosters economic cooperation between Moscow and its Asian partners, Russian newspaper Kommersant reported. Chinese companies have reportedly approached the organization twice as often.

Chinese developers see a less competitive market brimming with opportunities, with Chinese applications now accounting for more than half of purchases on Russian app platform RuStore. Three-quarters of these are games, per the report.

The departure of Western tech companies such as Microsoft and Adobe in response to Vladimir Putin's unprovoked war against Ukraine, and Moscow's move to reverse its ban on cryptocurrency payments, the legalization of crypto mining, and the introduction of the digital ruble in 2023 have opened the door wide to Chinese tech industries.  .  .
