Threat of New Russian Strikes, Cheaper Fuel, and Disruptions in Europe
Poland warns of possible Russian provocations to justify new attacks on Ukraine, while the pace of missile production in the Russian Federation has significantly exceeded European levels. At the same time, global oil prices have begun to decline, and large-scale disruptions in transport and energy are being observed in European countries due to heat and technical problems.
Be prepared for a possible intensification of shelling: the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that the Kremlin is preparing "false flag" operations on its own territory to gain a pretext for further aggression. This comes amid reports from European Commissioner Andrius Kubilius that Russia produced eight times more missiles last year than all EU countries combined. A "false flag" operation is a provocation carried out by intelligence services, disguised as the actions of another party, in order to blame them for a crime.
The cost of fuel at gas stations may decrease thanks to a record volume of oil transport through the Strait of Hormuz—a key maritime route between the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf, through which a significant portion of global fuel exports passes. Over the past 24 hours, the passage of 19 million barrels was recorded there, which has already caused a sharp drop in global raw material prices.
Ukrainians in France and Germany should be mindful of dangers and transport delays. In France, due to an abnormal heatwave of up to 41°C, nuclear power plants have stopped operating, and 40 people have died while swimming in bodies of water. In Germany, the movement of all Deutsche Bahn trains was temporarily suspended due to a large-scale failure in the digital radio communication system, leading to long delays in regional and long-distance services.
