RussiaSaturday, January 11, 2025

In a significant move, the US and UK have hit Russian oil and gas companies with new sanctions. Ukraine's President Zelenskyy sees this as a big blow to Russia's war efforts. Two major Russian companies, Gazprom Neft and Surgutneftegas, are now targeted. The UK says these companies help fund Putin's war in Ukraine. The sanctions could cost Russia billions each month. Meanwhile, Ukraine hit a Russian ammunition depot and drone storage facility early Friday, with help from their navy.

In other news, Ukraine is cracking down on smugglers helping military-aged men avoid service. Lastly, Slovakia saw big protests against its PM, accused of being too friendly with Russia.
