Kremlin using coal subsidies to force Russian passports on residents in occupied Kherson Oblast

Moscow-installed illegal occupation authorities in Kherson Oblast are offering coal subsidies for heating purposes, but only to those residents who became Russian citizens, the Ukrainian military's National Resistance Center reported.

As part of its forced passportization strategy, Russia creates special incentives oriented toward residents in occupied Ukrainian territory to adopt Russian passports. At the same time, those Ukrainians who refuse Russian citizenship are often threatened with deportation or being forcibly mobilized into the Russian military.

Support Coal, Buy an EV!

What?

This article is primarily aimed at "coal country", my fellow West Virginians, Kentuckians, who want to support the coal industry.

An EV powered by coal-generated electricity results in less CO2 than any internal combustion engine car. This article covers all the details.

good news from the Knitting Nannas and Friends (Sydney faction)
"🎉 Congrats @MoveBeyondCoal

“Banks have lost interest in funding Whitehaven’s financially reckless and environmentally ludicrous coal expansion plans in the midst of a climate crisis. NAB and Westpac have finally turned their backs on Whitehaven”
the SMH asks "what went wrong here?" Nothing - it's all turned out pretty good

"Anybody who’s in thermal coal is going to be facing similar challenges in mobilising funding from traditional sources,” Ball said. “It is increasingly difficult being a coal producer to attract external funding,” he said, adding that the miner was instead focus on sourcing loans from the US debt capital markets next year." hahah yeah good onya USA - still up for saving us ;)

#Coal fired power station in #europe, building started in 2016, will be operational from 2023, financed by public money, also from #Germany

"In 2015, the expansion total cost was estimated at 1.4 billion euros. #German development bank agreed to provide a 739 million euro bond loan in 2013, supported by the German Export Credit Agency #EulerHermes and arranged by the #KfW IPEX Bank. Besides KfW, the project has struggled to secure funding. The #European Investment Bank has withdrawn funding from the expansion project because of its high levels of #CO2 emissions and other pollutants."

“We knew who she was, but she did not get VIP treatment,” Hüls (police spokeperson) said. “She did not resist,” he added.

So everyone is equal before the law very democratic but when it comes to police violence the police isn't condemned? Where is the equal law for police brutality?
