Russia’s Rosneft reports a 70 % drop in net income for the first 9 months of 2025, down to 277 billion roubles (~$3.57 billion). The company cited high interest rates, lower oil prices, a stronger rouble, and rising “anti‑terror security” costs as major pressures.
Real reason: Ukrainian sanctions.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

As a baby, Mzinga struggled to grasp the whole bottle drinking business. Today, she’s a total pro! We rescued Mzinga three years ago, when she was just a month old. It was a real fight to save her life. Today, Mzinga is known as a mini matriarch and a friend to everyone - even the resident rhinos!

🔔Russian economic collapse alarm bells are ringing in the Duma.
In the video below, Central Bank governor Nabiullina warns the Russian economy is so fragile that, if the interest rate is dropped to 3-4% right now, it will cause 1990s hyperinflation and economic collapse.📉

Arthi's tummy is always set to "food o'clock". He's the first to bellow for milk around feeding time and, after finishing his bottle, he trumpets for seconds. If no leftovers are around to be snaffled up, he'll make the most of the fresh browse on offer in the Park instead.

Meanwhile, Republican-held US House districts and states Trump won in 2024 rely more on ACA coverage.
