  • MIL-Evening Report: Politics with Michelle Grattan: Hugh White on what the next PM should tell Trump and defending Australia – without the US

    Source: The Conversation (Au and NZ) – By Michelle Grattan, Professorial Fellow, University of Canberra

    The Trump ascendancy has forced international economic issues and the future strategic outlook onto the Australian election agenda, even if they are at the margins.

    This campaign – while dominated by domestic issues, notably the cost of living – is being conducted against the background of an extraordinarily volatile external situation, with major implications for Australia’s future.

    To discuss these issues, we were joined on the podcast by Hugh White, Emeritus Professor of Strategic Studies at the Australian National University. White is one of Australia’s foremost thinkers on defence policy, China and the region. His long career includes serving as an adviser to then federal defence minister Kim Beazley.

    White regards US President Donald Trump as a “revolutionary figure”:

    I think Trump is a genuinely revolutionary character, and not just his impact on American domestic politics and economics, I also think he has a huge impact on global strategic affairs. And the reason for that is that he does have a fundamentally different view of America’s place in the world than that of what we might call a Washington establishment.

    Donald Trump is really a kind of an old-fashioned isolationist. That is, he believes America’s strategic focus should be on the Western Hemisphere […] For example, in Ukraine he’s happy to see Russia assert itself as a great power in Eastern Europe. In Asia, I think, despite his reputation as a China hawk on economic issues, he doesn’t have any problem with China asserting itself as a great power in East Asia. He’s for these other great powers to dominate their backyards, just the way he wants America to dominate its backyard in the Western Hemisphere.

    Yet White doesn’t believe either Labor or the Coalition is taking defence seriously in this election.

    It’s not being treated as a real issue in the campaign, and that’s because both sides have determined that it won’t, and what underpins that is the absolutely rock-solid bipartisanship between the two of them on every significant issue. And I think that’s a very serious problem for Australia because at a time when our strategic circumstances are changing dramatically […] neither side has any inclination to have a serious conversation about what that means, why it’s happening, what we should be doing about it,

    A lot of the blame for that lies with the Labor Party, because it seems to me Labor’s political approach to the whole question of foreign affairs and defence for a very long time now has focused on minimising differences with the Coalition.

    While White agrees Australia needs new submarines, and quickly, he doesn’t think they should be nuclear-powered, as promised under AUKUS. He thinks we should leave AUKUS.

    We should have started building replacements for the [Collins-class submarine] around about 2010 or 2012. So we’re well over a decade late and I do think there’s a real risk that we’re going to lose our submarine capability altogether. But the way to solve that is not to push ahead spending billions and billions of dollars on a project which, even if it works, delivers the submarines we don’t need, and which is very unlikely to deliver any submarines at all.

    We’re past looking for a perfect submarine. We just need to get any submarine at all so we can keep some capability running and then once we have that running, we need to have a really focused programme. We need ministers to really tell Defence what to do, focus programmes to develop a follow on to the Collins-class design, because that’s the design we already know best in the world and to start building a new class of evolved Collins.

    After the May 3 election, when the next prime minister meets the US president to talk trade, defence and more, what should Anthony Albanese or Peter Dutton tell Trump? White says:

    Trump is very hard to handle. I don’t think there’s any magic formula that an Australian prime minister can utter, which makes Trump into either a more acceptable, economic partner for Australia or a more reliable strategic partner for Australia, because the forces that are driving America out of Asia are much bigger than Donald Trump.

    The most important thing an Australian political leader could say to Trump when he first meets him is, look, we understand where you’re coming from. We are happy to take responsibility for our own security. We don’t expect you to stay engaged in Asia to look after us in future. What we want you to do is to help us manage that transition as best we can and we’re prepared to pay for what we get.

  • MIL-OSI Global: How windfalls from commodity price booms come back to bite exporters

    Source: The Conversation – UK – By Lotanna Emediegwu, Senior Lecturer in Economics, Manchester Metropolitan University

    When the wholesale prices of essential goods like food or oil suddenly rise, it can cause deep shifts in the economy that upend trade balances and hike inflation rates. This is known as a commodity price boom.

    The outbreak of war in Ukraine in February 2022 spurred European and US sanctions on Russian oil companies which restricted global oil supply. The ensuing shock hiked energy prices in the international market and meant that the price of Brent crude, a global benchmark for oil prices, reached US$122 (£95) a barrel on March 21 that year, its highest level since 2015.

    Price inflation has forced households in importing nations like the UK to pay a premium to fill up cars. It has also raised food prices, as the cost of shipping food to supermarkets and restaurants has increased, as well as utility bills.

    Meanwhile resource-rich exporter nations can make a killing and choose to use the additional revenue to subsidise energy for consumers, issue rebates, or increase funding for public services. Less evident, but no less significant however, are the environmental consequences of these booms.

    A study I published with colleagues showed that democratic nations in oil-rich regions, such as sub-Saharan Africa, are especially prone to increasing pollution when the oil price suddenly soars. This phenomenon stems from the need to ramp up production quickly, to capitalise on fleeting price hikes, which economies with less democratic oversight are able to bypass.

    These (ostensibly) democratic economies appear most attentive to market signals, and in their unbridled rush for quick economic gain, typically raise pollution as they extract and sell more. This is especially true with oil extraction, which produces pollutants linked to cancer.

    We investigated global commodity price booms using the commodity windfall index. This is a collection of prices that market analysts collate to track changes and detect booms as they develop. We measured the effect of price booms on the environment by analysing how air pollution changed in producer countries when the prices of commodities in the index changed.

    The index covers 40 commodities across energy, metals, food and beverages, and agricultural raw materials such as wheat. One is particularly damaging to the environment: oil production.

    The top five oil producers as of 2023 (the most recent year for which data exists) are developed nations: the US (22%), Saudi Arabia (11%), Russia (11%), Canada (6%), and China (5%). As global exporters, all benefit from windfalls caused by oil price spikes.

    Increasing commodity prices justify more intense exploration for new reserves. In the case of oil exploration, this involves seismic surveys, drilling and the use of heavy machinery which consumes lots of fossil energy and releases greenhouse gases like CO₂.

    Oil price surges could make democracies less green

    Among oil-producing and exporting economies, democratic nations are more likely to experience increased pollution during commodity windfalls, compared with autocratic regimes. We characterised democracies by the presence of competitive political participation and regular free and fair elections, among other qualities.

    This is because democratic nations are particularly prone to ramping up resource extraction during price booms. Political pressures drive this tendency, as governments seek to fund popular initiatives or bolster public services before elections. For example, in the US during the 2008 oil price spike, president George W. Bush advocated for increased domestic oil drilling and natural gas extraction with an aim to reduce energy prices and create jobs.

    Autocratic regimes might appear less urgent to exploit commodity windfalls. There are, after all, fewer electoral or public accountability considerations. However, one-party state China’s position as the world’s largest polluter is primarily due to its manufacturing base, not raw material extraction.

    The environmental consequences of commodity booms are a global issue that requires cooperation to solve.

    Developing regions like sub-Saharan Africa and the Caribbean will struggle to reduce emissions from extractive activities, as much economic growth here depends on it. The US$300 billion (£235 billion) annual climate funding pledge for developing countries, agreed at the most recent UN climate summit in Azerbaijan, is not enough to finance the creation of new industries.

    Advanced economies, which bear historical responsibility for the majority of global emissions, must take the lead in addressing this imbalance. This involves both reducing their emissions and providing substantial financial and technical support to resource-dependent nations. A failure to do so would perpetuate global inequalities, as developing nations are asked to sacrifice economic growth for environmental goals while industrialised countries continue to expand their economies.

    The challenge, then, is not just in managing the financial rewards of commodity booms, but in ensuring they do not come at an unsustainable environmental cost.

  • MIL-OSI Global: Sounds of the Ukraine war: what these recordings of daily life reveal about the human and environmental costs

    Source: The Conversation – UK – By Janine Natalya Clark, Professor of Transitional Justice and International Criminal Law, University of Birmingham

    A Kyiv resident describes it as her favourite morning sound. She is referring to the crisp, clear sound of a trumpet coming from a nearby street. The music is beautiful and soulful, played by a military veteran who sits in the same spot every weekend.

    “I am inspired by this strong person who not only plays but also brings a ray of hope to the whole district with his music,” the interviewee reflects.

    Existing research on war and sound has mainly focused on what J. Martin Daughtry, associate professor of ethnomusicology and sound studies at New York University, terms “the belliphonic” – meaning the spectrum of sounds produced by armed combat. Gunfire. Shellings. Explosions.

    In reality, what people hear and remember as the sounds of war are often far more diverse. When I asked a group of Ukrainians to make recordings of their local soundscapes, they captured a wide range of different sounds including the belliphonic – in particular, the increasingly “normal” sound of air raid sirens.

    Ukrainian interviewee, CC BY784 KB (download)

    Yet they were also much more varied than I had expected – a school run; a walk in a winter forest; stridulating crickets; silence during curfew (typically from midnight to 5am); generators on the street; an end-of-project celebration; a rollerskating club.

    I also asked participants about their recordings, including how they felt when they listened back to them, as well as more general questions such as how their soundscapes had changed due to the war, and what sounds they missed. These recordings are featured in a recently launched online exhibit.

    As I have learnt from my research over the past seven months, sound can offer different – and distinctive – insights into experiences of war. It can elicit thoughts and information that might not arise from conversations and interviews alone.

    I had a particular reason for asking Ukrainians to make these soundscape recordings (more than 40 in total). Ecologists, bio-acousticians (scientists who study the creation, transmission and reception of sound) and others have used sound to analyse and monitor soil biodiversity, the healthiness of coral reefs and the impact of wildfires on birdsong.

    This fascinating area of research, however, remains neglected in war and armed conflict contexts. In particular, studies examining the environmental impacts of war – including the war in Ukraine – have overlooked the relevance of sound in terms of what it might tell us about the impact of conflict.

    In Ukraine, some of the areas that have suffered the greatest environmental damage are not accessible – or at least, not easily. They are saturated with landmines and other unexploded ordnance, occupied by Russian forces, or close to frontline areas.

    Russian air attacks on Kyiv in April 2025.

    My interviewees were not able to record the sounds of burning forests and steppes (grasslands); or of wild animals in Askania-Nova (Ukraine’s oldest nature reserve) fleeing in fear from low-flying enemy aircraft. All of the interviewees, moreover, were based in cities. Their recordings, however, illustrate some of the ways the war in Ukraine is affecting not just humans but the whole environment.

    In one of the recordings, made at night in the city of Zaporizhzhia in south-east Ukraine, there is the sound of explosions as Ukraine’s air-defence system shoots down Shahed drones. Neighbourhood dogs can be heard barking throughout the entire recording.

    In another recording, in the city of Dnipro in central Ukraine, dogs bark in response to the wailing sound of an air raid siren – and a large dog close-by lets out two prolonged howls.

    Ukrainian interviewee, CC BY1.41 MB (download)

    It is impossible to listen to these recordings without thinking about the animals and what they were experiencing and feeling.

    A zoologist shared with me a recording he made in 2013, a year before the start of the war in eastern Ukraine. The audio captures the chirping of a steppe marmot in Luhansk region. As the area is now under occupation, you might wonder when listening to it how the sounds of this steppe have changed as a consequence of the war.

    Attentiveness to sound has wider implications for justice, and in particular for transitional justice (how societies respond to the legacies of massive and serious human rights violations) – my area of research.

    Ukraine is investigating more than 200 cases of environmental war crimes which are alleged to have taken place during the current conflict. Of these, 14 are additionally being investigated as ecocide – a crime included in article 441 of Ukraine’s criminal code. One case relates to the destruction of the Kakhovka dam, in Kherson region, in June 2023.

    These legal developments can significantly contribute to addressing the neglect of nature and the environment in transitional justice – a field that remains strongly focused on humans.

    Sound is also highly relevant in this regard. As the barking dogs illustrate, it can powerfully capture ways that human and animal experiences of war are deeply entangled.

    Using sound as a way of actively monitoring different ecosystems over a period of time can also provide valuable information about changes occurring within them. This is important for understanding how these ecosystems have been harmed and, additionally, how they might be recovering . Oleksii Marushchak, a researcher at the I.I. Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology in Kyiv, said after listening to the recordings:

    It is important to reiterate that the majority of interviewees at the time of participating in the study were far from the frontline, where the horrors of war are much more intense than anything that you will hear in the soundscape recordings. One can only imagine what it must be like for people and animals living in close proximity to frontline areas.

    Sound is relevant not just to criminal investigations but also the issue of environmental reparations. There now exists a Register of Damage for Ukraine, as the first step in creating an international compensation mechanism to deal with multiple damages – including to the environment – caused during the war. It would be a highly innovative, and welcome, development if this future mechanism were to admit soundscape ecology evidence.

    There is also scope for Ukrainian prosecutors to further expand their pioneering work in investigating environmental war crimes and ecocide (which has wider relevance to the work of the International Criminal Court in The Hague) by listening to such recordings – and to the rich information that animals, forests, rivers and soil can help communicate through sound.

    When the war ends, it will be essential to consider all the evidence of its many effects and consequences, and sound recordings could be very important.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: The Moscow Metro celebrates 90 years as the heart of the capital.

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

    MOSCOW, April 2025 — This May marks a significant milestone for one of the most famous and efficient urban transport systems in the world. Since its first run in 1935, the metro has remained a symbol of comfort, reliability and safety for millions of Muscovites and visitors to the capital.

    Moscow Metro to Celebrate 90th Anniversary

    The metro’s humble beginnings consisted of a single line running from Sokolniki to Park Kultury, with a branch from Okhotny Ryad to Smolenskaya – 13 stations in total. Today, the network has 302 stations, an impressive 120 of which have opened since 2010.

    To mark the anniversary, the city is preparing a series of festive events throughout April and May. Stations will be decked out with decorations, and special themed trains, trams and buses will run across the network. The historic Sokolniki station, the first to open, will be a key location for the celebrations. On May 15, it will host a historical reenactment of the grand opening of the metro in 1935.

    One of the highlights of the event will be the beloved train parade on the Circle Line, a spectacle that attracts thousands of passengers every year. In addition, for the first time, Polezhaevskaya station will host an exclusive exhibition of specialized metro equipment, including the unique diagnostic train “Synergy-2”, which monitors the condition of tunnels and tracks in real time.

    At the heart of the celebration are people: both passengers and the more than 60,000 dedicated metro employees, many of whom see their work as a true calling.

    Starting in April, anyone will be able to send their congratulations to the employees and the metro system via the chatbot Alexander. The messages will be displayed on more than 34,000 transport screens, and the most sincere of them will appear on the facade of the Smolensk metro bridge.

    As the Moscow Metro turns 90, it continues to be not only a means of transportation, but also a cultural and architectural landmark that connects the city’s past, present and future.

    Source: Novosibirsk State University – Novosibirsk State University –

    The team of the NSU student pedagogical detachment “Sintez” took first place in the cheerleading competition within the framework of the Winter Spartakiad

    This Sunday, the final stage of the XV Winter Spartakiad of the Novosibirsk Regional Branch took place at NSTU – a cheerleading competition, where NSU students took first place with their performance.

    We talked to the squad members and found out how long it took to prepare the number, what was the most difficult and what their impressions of the victory were.

    Alevtina Sapozhnikova, candidate for the squad (has not yet worked the summer virgin lands) and a first-year student majoring in Fundamental and Applied Linguistics Humanitarian Institute of NSU: “The hardest thing was to keep training in the moments when it seemed that fatigue overpowered the desire to go to training”

    — How long did you prepare for the competition, what did the preparation consist of and what was the most difficult part?

    — We prepared for a little over a month — we met for training 3-4 times a week as a team, rehearsed the program we were performing, and also did exercises as a warm-up and cool-down to become stronger and more resilient. Perhaps the hardest thing was to continue training at times when it seemed that fatigue overpowered the desire to go to training. But not showing up means letting the team down, so we steadfastly went through all the difficulties, and it was not in vain!

    — Share your impressions of the victory in general: what did you like and remember most?

    — Of course, it was incredibly nice to receive the coveted winners’ cup and just compete. But “cheer” became something more than just training for all of us. We became attached to each other, experienced ups and downs together. I would like to express my gratitude to our coaches — they did a lot for us, and we owe our victory, which Sintez worked towards for 3 years, to them in many ways! I will definitely miss this time, which left only the warmest memories in my soul.

    Polina Lukina, detachment commissar and third-year student Faculty of Economics, NSU: “It was important to convey the emotions with which we trained and which overwhelmed us all this time”

    — This year the competitions were as captivating as ever! All the teams that took part showed themselves in all their glory: bright costumes, cool music, well-rehearsed routines and incredible energy!! We also tried to keep up with everyone and show our team in the best light. But in addition to the technical component of the performance, it was equally important for us to convey the emotions with which we trained and which overwhelmed us all this time!

    — Tell us about the significance of this victory for the squad, what are your plans for the future — will there be similar competitions in the near future or are you perhaps already preparing for virgin soil?

    — This victory means a lot to the squad. We have been striving for it for 3 years, and this year we have succeeded, which once again proved that the impossible is possible! In the future, we will direct our efforts to other equally important events, such as the All-Russian rally of counselors in Perm and the Starting rally of NRO squads, where we will again try to show ourselves from the best side!

    We congratulate the team on their victory and look forward to conquering new heights!

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    On the border of the Gagarinsky and Lomonosovsky districts, the construction of the Vavilovskaya station of the Troitskaya metro line is underway. It will be located along Leninsky Prospekt, at the intersection with Stroiteley and Panferova streets. The exits from the southern vestibule will lead to the territory of the Lomonosovsky district, where there are currently no metro stations. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction Vladimir Efimov.

    “The station will be located in the northern part of the Lomonosov district. The construction of the main monolithic reinforced concrete structures is nearing completion at the site, and backfilling of the pit is in the final stage. Specialists have begun bricklaying the internal walls and partitions, and finishing the utility rooms. The station is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year,” said Vladimir Efimov.

    The Vavilovskaya station will be part of the Troitskaya Line section from ZIL to Novatorskaya. The ZIL, Krymskaya and Akademicheskaya stations are being built together with it.

    “ZIL” is being built at the intersection of Likhachev Avenue and Lisitsky Street, next to the Tyufeleva Roshcha Park and the Moscow Central Circle (MCC) platform of the same name. “Krymskaya” will be located between the MCC railway tracks and a residential area of the Donskoy District, and “Akademicheskaya” – near the intersection of Dmitry Ulyanov Street and Profsoyuznaya Street.

    “The Troitskaya Line became the 16th in the Moscow Metro. Last year, a section from Novatorskaya to Novomoskovskaya with seven stations was opened. The construction of each of them had its own peculiarities related to the location and architectural solutions. This year, work will be completed on the section from ZIL to Novatorskaya,” said the head of the Department of Construction of Transport and Engineering Infrastructure of Moscow

    Vasily Desyatkov.

    Interior finishing has begun at the Vavilovskaya station on the Troitskaya metro line under construction

    On the instructions of Sergei Sobyanin, the city is paying special attention to the quality and safety of construction of technically complex metro facilities.

    As added by the Chairman of Mosgosstroynadzor Anton Slobodchikov, each stage of work at the Vavilovskaya station is carried out under the control of the department. In February and March of this year, according to the approved program, regular inspections were held with the involvement of specialists from the subordinate Center for Expertise, Research and Testing in Construction. Inspectors assessed the compliance of the constructed structures and the building materials used with the requirements of the design documentation. The next visit to the site is planned for May.

    Earlier, Sergei Sobyanin told what it would look like Vavilovskaya metro station.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Moscow Metro Marks 90 Years as the Beating Heart of the Capital.

    MOSCOW, April 2025 — This May, the iconic —a monumental milestone for one of the world’s most renowned and efficient urban transport systems. Since its inaugural ride in 1935, the Metro has remained a symbol of comfort, reliability, and safety for millions of Muscovites and visitors alike.

    Moscow Metro will celebrate its 90th anniversary.

    The Metro’s humble beginnings featured a single line stretching from Sokolniki to Park Kultury, with a branch from Okhotniy Ryad to Smolenskaya—just 13 stations in total. Today, the network boasts 302 stations, with an impressive 120 of them opened since 2010.

    To mark the occasion, the city is preparing a series of festive events throughout April and May. Stations will be adorned with decorations, and special themed trains, trams, and buses will roll out across the network. The historic Sokolniki station, the very first to open, will serve as a key celebration site. On May 15, it will host a historical reenactment of the Metro’s grand launch in 1935.

    One of the event highlights will be the beloved train parade on the Circle Line, a spectacle that draws thousands of passengers each year. Additionally, for the first time, the Polezhaevskaya station will host an exclusive exhibition of specialized Metro equipment, including the unique diagnostic train Synergiya-2, which monitors tunnel and track conditions in real time.

    At the heart of the celebration are the people—both passengers and the more than 60,000 dedicated Metro employees, many of whom see their work as a true vocation.

    Starting in April, anyone can send their congratulations to the Metro’s staff and system via the Aleksandra chatbot. Messages will be displayed across over 34,000 transport screens, with the most heartfelt ones featured on the facade of the Smolensky Metro Bridge.

    As the Moscow Metro turns 90, it continues to be not just a means of transportation, but a cultural and architectural landmark that connects the city’s past, present, and future.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Telephone scammers and online extremism: Polytechnic University held training for students

    On April 8, a training session for students entitled “Counteracting telephone scammers, measures to prevent the spread of terrorist and extremist manifestations through telecommunications networks among university students” was held in the White Hall of SPbPU.

    Currently, telephone fraud is one of the most common forms of cybercrime in the modern world. Every year, the number of such scams increases, and the methods of attackers become more sophisticated. According to experts, the number of cybercrimes, as well as the number of fraudulent schemes, will grow. The training was dedicated to the methods and techniques of counteracting telephone scammers.

    We already held a similar event for the staff of our university a month ago. Today we appeal to young people. Our task is to know the tactics, methods and ways of action of fraudsters and intruders. This topic is very relevant, so we must be extremely attentive. Listen thoughtfully to our experts to help your friends and family, – said Vice-Rector for Security of SPbPU Alexander Airapetyan.

    The presentation was made by the Director of the Higher School of Jurisprudence and Forensic Science, Dmitry Mokhorov.

    Terrorism is a threat to the national security of the Russian state, and cyber fraud has become one of the tools used by criminals. Fraud is evolving along with technology, acquiring a transnational character. Digital scams and corruption crimes dominate, which have become more complex, larger-scale and more sophisticated. The fight against them requires not only tightening laws, but also increasing the financial and legal literacy of the population. Caution and critical thinking are the main methods of protection in the era of digital risks, – emphasized Dmitry Mokhorov.

    Tatyana Kalyamina, representative of the North-West Bank of Sberbank, shared the organization’s experience in the field of security. Lyudmila Tikhonova, head of the coordination center for issues of developing an active civic position among young people, preventing interethnic and interfaith conflicts, countering the ideology of terrorism and preventing extremism at the St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design, gave parting words.

    The event was also attended by representatives of the FSB of Russia, employees of the departments of the Center for Combating Extremism of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, the Main Directorate of the Russian Guard for St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, the UMVD of Russia for the Kalininsky District of St. Petersburg, and the chairman of the veteran organization OMON “Baltika” (on transport).

    The experts shared information about common telephone fraud schemes and methods of criminals, told how to act to prevent extremist activity, showed video materials. Particular emphasis was placed on the need to conduct educational and explanatory work among young people and the elderly. In conclusion, the polytechnicians asked questions.

  • MIL-OSI: Ellomay Capital Ltd. Announces the Execution of an Agreement to sell 49% of its Italian Solar Portfolio of 198 MW to Clal Insurance, a Leading Israeli Institutional Investor

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Tel-Aviv, Israel, April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ellomay Capital Ltd. (NYSE American; TASE: ELLO) (“Ellomay” or the “Company”), a renewable energy and power generator and developer of renewable energy and power projects in Europe, USA and Israel, today announced that it entered into an investment agreement (the “Clal Agreement”) with Clal Insurance Ltd., a leading Israeli institutional investor, and several of its affiliates (together, “Clal”), for an aggregate investment by Clal of approximately €52 million.

    Pursuant to the Clal Agreement, Clal and Ellomay will set up a new Israeli limited partnership (the “Israeli LP”) in which an entity wholly-owned by Ellomay will be the general partner and Ellomay will hold 51% of the limited partner interests and Clal will hold the remaining 49%. The Israeli LP will wholly-own a newly founded Luxembourg entity, to which Ellomay’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Ellomay Luxembourg Holdings, S.à.r.l. (“Ellomay Luxembourg”), will transfer all of the issued and outstanding shares of seven Italian project companies, who hold a solar portfolio in an aggregate capacity of approximately 198 MW (the “Italian Solar Portfolio”). The Italian Solar Portfolio consists of (a) solar facilities with an aggregate capacity of 38 MW that are connected to the grid and operating and (b) additional solar facilities with an aggregate capacity of 160 MW that have reached Ready-to-Build status and with respect to which Engineering, Procurement and Construction agreements were executed. Project finance agreements were executed with respect to the Italian Solar Portfolio in March 2025.

    The Clal Agreement includes customary representations and warranties of Ellomay and Clal and an indemnification mechanism for breaches of representations, warranties and undertakings, subject to customary caps and limitations, as a sole remedy, subject to customary exceptions. The Clal Agreement provides Clal with a right of first look commencing with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Clal Agreement with respect to investment in other solar projects currently developed or that will be developed by Ellomay and its subsidiaries in Italy for an investment under similar terms as the Clal Agreement, mutatis mutandis. Pursuant to the right of first look mechanism, Ellomay will provide Clal certain information with respect to each project that has reached Ready-to-Build status and Ellomay decided to advance its construction, and Clal will have a few months to notify Ellomay that it is interested in investing up to 49% in such projects or any portion thereof upon the terms set forth in the notice provided to Clal by Ellomay.

    The Clal Agreement provides that upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Clal Agreement, Ellomay and Clal will sign a partners agreement (the “Clal PA”) and Ellomay will issue Clal a warrant (the “Clal Warrant”).

    The Clal PA sets forth the relationship between the general partner and the limited partners, the governance and management of the Israeli LP, the funding and financing of the Israeli LP and the mechanism for future transfers of interests in the Israeli LP. Pursuant to the Clal PA, Clal undertakes to provide its pro rata portion of the amounts required for the development of the Italian Solar Portfolio to the Israeli LP, which in turn will fund the Luxembourg subsidiary and the Italian project companies. Ellomay’s aggregate funding commitment in the Italian Solar Portfolio has already been provided by Ellomay. The Clal PA also provides for the payment of annual management fees to Ellomay. The Clal PA provides each limited partner with customary rights, including a full tag-along right in the event of a change in control of Ellomay and includes customary veto rights. The Clal PA provides that following repayment of partners’ loans, the Israeli LP’s surpluses will be distributed to the limited partners, pro rata to their holdings, on a semi-annual basis, subject to maintaining the working capital required by the Israeli LP for the two following quarters.

    The Clal Warrant covers 416,000 ordinary shares of Ellomay, with an exercise price of NIS 69.7 (approximately $18.5) per share. The Clal Warrant is for a term of twenty-six months and may only be exercised on a cashless basis. In the event Ellomay’s shares are traded at a price higher than NIS 80 (approximately $21.2) per share when the Clal Warrant is exercised, Ellomay, at its discretion, may choose to issue shares on a cashless basis assuming a market price per share of NIS 80 and pay Clal the remainder in cash. 

    The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Clal Agreement is subject to the fulfillment or waiver of several customary conditions to closing, including receipt of regulatory approvals, that are not entirely within the control of Ellomay, Ellomay Luxembourg, Clal or the Israeli LP. There can be no assurance as to whether or when the conditions to closing will be satisfied.

    Ran Fridrich, CEO and a board member of Ellomay, commented: “Ellomay is pleased to announce the establishment of a partnership with Clal Insurance, which will invest in a 198 MW solar portfolio in central and northern Italy. The Company sees great importance in the entry of a quality institutional investor as a partner to part of its Italian solar portfolio, and in Clal’s interest in examining participation in the future in building the remainder of the Company’s Italian portfolio and views this as a vote of confidence in the Company, its management and its operations. The Company thanks the investment team of Clal, led by Barak Bensky, for their professional work in a complex cross-border transaction.”

  • MIL-OSI: InitVerse Shines at Hong Kong Web3 Festival: Leading the Next Generation of Web3 Infrastructure with Privacy and Innovation

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TORTOLA, British Virgin Islands, April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — One of the world’s most influential events in the Web3 space, the 2025 Hong Kong Web3 Festival, concluded successfully at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from April 6th to 9th. Co-hosted by Wanxiang Blockchain Labs and HashKey Group, the event attracted over 50,000 attendees, 300+ top industry leaders, and 150 cutting-edge projects. As a pioneering innovator in Web3 infrastructure, InitVerse stood out as one of the spotlight projects at the festival with its strong technical foundation and global strategy. Hakan Sezikli, Chief Business Officer of InitVerse, was invited to participate in several major panel discussions, sharing with global developers and investors how InitVerse is reshaping the future of Web3 through privacy protection and automation.

    Since its debut in 2023, the Hong Kong Web3 Festival has become a key bridge connecting blockchain ecosystems across Asia and Europe. This year’s theme, “Web3 Globalization: Technology, Compliance, and Innovation,” brought together notable guests such as Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, Binance founder CZ, and Telegram CEO Pavel Durov. Covering hot topics like infrastructure, DeFi, and AI+Web3, the event once again positioned Hong Kong—Asia’s first Web3 event with full government support—as a magnet for global capital and innovation. InitVerse’s participation not only highlighted its globally competitive technical solution but also marked a strategic step forward in the Asia-Pacific region.

    On the main stage and across various sub-events, InitVerse showcased the core strengths of its next-generation Web3 infrastructure to developers worldwide. Built on the INIChain blockchain, InitVerse is an all-in-one platform committed to offering full-lifecycle solutions for DApps—from development to deployment and scaling. Thanks to its technological innovation, InitVerse has already garnered significant attention from industry media and top-tier investment institutions.

    During the panel discussion titled “AI + DePIN: New Possibilities for All Things,” InitVerse CBO Hakan Sezikli remarked:

    “The core contradiction facing current cloud and AI ecosystems lies in the imbalance between data utilization and privacy protection. InitVerse’s TfhEVM technology combines Fully Homomorphic Encryption (TFHE) with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), delivering a highly secure, private, and fully functional decentralized computing environment. This allows developers to run AI models directly on encrypted data—without needing to decrypt the original information. This breakthrough is crucial for fields like healthcare and finance, where compliance and trust are paramount.”

    InitVerse adopts a modular architecture, separating the INIChain base layer, privacy computing layer, and AI service layer. This ensures decentralization and security while allowing INICloud to dynamically scale computing resources. Developers can flexibly access computing power based on their needs, ensuring DApps maintain high performance even during traffic surges.

    In the forum, Hakan Sezikli further elaborated on InitVerse’s technical vision and community ecosystem. He emphasized that InitVerse’s tech roadmap always seeks a balance between decentralization, performance, and usability. He also revealed that InitVerse is collaborating with multiple institutions to build the next generation of encrypted applications.

    The Hong Kong Web3 Festival marks the third stop in InitVerse’s 2025 globalization strategy. With the unique value of its technology stack, InitVerse has drawn attention from top institutions including **HashKey Capital**, and plans to expand its global influence through the following events:

    • Jakarta, Indonesia (April 12): Community meetup with local leaders to explore the Southeast Asian market
    • Moscow (April 23): First appearance at the Eastern European Blockchain Forum, pushing for enterprise collaborations in Russian-speaking markets
    • Dubai (April 30): Participation in Token2049, expanding into regulated financial use cases in the Middle East
    • (More locations are being planned and will be announced soon)

    InitVerse’s globalization efforts are not only reflected in technology deployment but also in its ongoing efforts to build a decentralized community. Through incentive programs and outreach, the official community grew by over 2,000 new members during the event—demonstrating the market’s strong demand for privacy technology.

    The 2025 Hong Kong Web3 Festival once again proved that the future of Web3 belongs to projects that can balance technical innovation with real-world needs. With TFHE encryption, modular architecture, and AI empowerment, InitVerse is offering developers the ultimate toolkit for privacy and performance. As Hakan Sezikli aptly put it during the panel: “If the future of AI is private, encrypted, and decentralized—InitVerse is building it.”

    On April 8, 2025, the Ministry for Territory Maintenance and State Housing Supervision of the Moscow Region held a seminar for the region’s management organizations, at which representatives of the State University of Management spoke.

    The event was moderated by Deputy Minister of Cleanliness of the Moscow Region Svetlana Vikulova.

    The speakers of the seminar from our university were the head of the department of scientific research coordination Maxim Pletnev and the deputy head of the department of “Statistics” Tatyana Pershina. The specialists presented the methodology for the efficiency and effectiveness of the activities of the heads of management organizations, the founders of which include municipalities of the Moscow region, developed in 2024 at the State University of Management.

    “The six main indicators included in the developed methodology will allow us to characterize the activities of the head of the management company as transparently as possible, identify problem areas and growth points. Now the working group faces the following task – collecting data from management organizations, on the basis of which the rating will be formed,” explained Maxim Pletnev.

    The heads of management organizations participating in the seminar were presented with the criteria included in the rating, the mechanism and frequency of the assessment.

    • 1.What does the Commission make of the Latvian Government’s decision to ban Russian in public service broadcasting from 2026?

    Source: European Parliament

    Question for written answer  E-001352/2025
    to the Commission
    Rule 144
    Marlena Maląg (ECR)

    Point 23 of the European Council conclusions of 20 March 2025 stresses ‘the specific character of the security and defence policy of certain Member States, and takes into account the security and defence interests of all Member States, in accordance with the Treaties’.

    In addition, the European Parliament resolution of 12 March 2025 on the White Paper on the future of European defence, in paragraph 66, calls for ‘the creation of a council of defence ministers and for the move from unanimity to qualified majority voting for decisions in the European Council, the Council of Ministers and EU agencies’.

    There is a good deal of controversy around the issue of how the EU institutions will interpret these provisions. Given the attitude of Western European countries which, despite the calls from the countries of my region in the period before Russia’s full-scale aggression, continued to pursue their interests with the Russian Federation, I would like to ask the Commission:

    • 1.What guarantees does the Commission intend to give those countries which are particularly at risk, such as Poland and other frontline states, if Western European countries take a different stance on security questions?
    • 2.In the Commission’s view, in the event of a threat from the Russian Federation, will Member States such as Poland be free to make decisions on their security and on the actions of their national armed forces?
    • 3.What action does the Commission intend to take to minimise any potential threats to the interests of Poland and other countries bordering the aggressor?

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Orenburgneft’s environmental investments in 2024 exceeded 3 billion rubles

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

    Source: Rosneft – Rosneft – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    Orenburgneft (part of the Rosneft oil production complex) allocated more than 3 billion rubles for environmental protection activities in 2024, which is almost 13% more than the previous year. The funds were used to implement the gas investment program, improve the reliability of pipelines, reclaim land, improve the efficiency of industrial waste disposal, resource conservation, reforestation and maintain the biodiversity of water resources.

    As part of the target gas program, in 2024 the main process equipment was installed at the gas compressor station of the Donetsk-Syrtovskoye field, and the construction of gas pipelines of the Eastern group of fields is being completed. These measures will allow additional volumes of associated petroleum gas to be sent to the Buzuluk gas processing plant, where the gas is prepared to commercial quality and a wide fraction of hydrocarbons is separated from it – a valuable raw material for the petrochemical industry.

    Investments in the implementation of the pipeline reliability improvement program ensured the planned replacement of pipeline sections, repair and inhibition of pipes. Stable operation of the field infrastructure is ensured, among other things, by diagnostics using modern devices.

    The company is implementing resource-saving technologies. Last year, Orenburgneft reduced energy consumption by 6.8 million tons of equivalent fuel, which contributed to improving the environmental performance of production. Key initiatives included optimizing the operation of pumping equipment in reservoir pressure maintenance systems, upgrading downhole submersible equipment in oil production, and reengineering ground infrastructure.

    The enterprise provides environmental monitoring of natural components. Regular sampling of atmospheric air, water, and soil is carried out in the territories where production activities are carried out. Methane emissions are monitored using advanced technical means.

    Orenburgneft uses modern technologies for recycling industrial waste. The resulting secondary products are re-involved in industrial use. The company’s volunteers contribute to preserving the environment. For several years, employees have been organizing the collection of used plastic and waste paper. Schoolchildren from the region participate in environmental campaigns of oil workers. In 2024, more than 12 tons of secondary raw materials were sent for recycling through joint efforts.

    Employees carry out volunteer campaigns to clean up the territories of the cities where they are present and the coastal zones of water bodies, and organize clean-up days. Over the past three years, oil workers have planted about 3 thousand young pines, firs, lindens, and birches. Together with activists from the “Movement of the First,” oil workers cleaned up the territory of the Dendrosad in the Buzuluksky Bor National Park. Earlier, with the support of the company’s employees, a tourist trail was laid in the reserve, which is integrated into the network of ecological trails of the National Park.

    The company’s environmental performance has been repeatedly noted at various levels. In the regional competition “Leader of Economy”, “Orenburgneft” has been recognized as the winner in the nomination “Leader of Environmental Responsibility” for over 10 years.

    Reference:

    JSC Orenburgneft, a subsidiary of NK Rosneft, carries out production activities in the Orenburg, Samara and Saratov regions. Cumulative oil production exceeds 470 million tons.

    In the 20th century, a pragmatic approach to the future began to form. In a certain sense, it became an object of management. “The task of people who professionally deal with the future — forecasters, strategists, futurologists and futurists — is now not to make forecasts, but to make the future. And the future began to be understood not as a certain calendar date, but as a project that a person or an organization can implement,” says Sergei Zhigarev.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Over the course of a year, small businesses purchased about 500 properties from the city

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    Since April 2024, small and medium-sized entrepreneurs have purchased almost 500 premises from the city under preemptive rights. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction Vladimir Efimov.

    “In April 2024, the term of ownership and use of real estate based on a lease agreement, after which a small and medium-sized business entity (SME) has a preemptive right to purchase it, was reduced from two years to one year. This made it possible to expand the pool of companies that have the opportunity to exercise the preemptive right to purchase. Since then, representatives of small and medium businesses have purchased about 500 premises from the city with a total area of about 61 thousand square meters,” said Vladimir Efimov.

    The possibility of buying out a property or building after a year of renting it is of primary interest to entrepreneurs whose business demonstrates high growth dynamics. After purchasing a property, the new owner can dispose of it at their discretion, for example, by renting it out.

    “SMEs buy real estate from the capital at market value, which is determined by independent appraisers. To provide additional support to entrepreneurs, the city has provided for an installment plan for up to seven years. This allows small and medium businesses to evenly distribute payments without using credit funds. Since April last year, 99 percent of former tenants have taken advantage of this opportunity,” said the Minister of the Moscow Government, head of the capital’s Department of City Property.

    Maxim Gaman.

    Business representatives who have been leasing the property for at least one year and are included in the register of small and medium-sized businesses can buy the property from the city. The lease rights must be acquired at regular auctions under general conditions. For premises sold at specialized auctions for SMEs, the lease term must be at least two years, and the property itself must be on the list of objects intended for use by small and medium businesses for at least five years.

    To buy out the property rented from the city, you need to apply for a government service “Paid alienation of real estate leased by small and medium-sized businesses from the state property of the city of Moscow”. This can be done exclusively in electronic form on the mos.ru portal.
