    What the hell are they supposed to eat…“and chips”?!

    This is a borderline act of aggression. But at least they didn’t do anything to the tea.

      Not only ships, but one of the biggest submarine fleets in the world. It’s absolutely hilarious that there are people out there who don’t realize Russia has one of the biggest navies. I guess that’s what happens when you guzzle propaganda out of a fire hose all day long.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Russia is preparing legislation to ban British fishermen from the Barents Sea, one of the biggest fisheries for cod and haddock in the world, according to a major Russian newspaper.

    Vladimir Putin’s government is in favour of draft legislation submitted by the agriculture ministry that would see Russia pulling out of a Soviet-era fishing agreement that allowed British vessels to operate in the sea, according to Izvestiya.

    Already fraught relations between the UK and Russia crashed in February 2022 when Putin ordered the invasion of European neighbour Ukraine, beginning a war that will reach the two-year mark late next month.

    The bill denouncing the Barents Sea fishing agreement has already been approved by Russia’s cabinet after it was submitted by the agriculture and foreign ministries, according to Izvestiya, and is now with the Kremlin.

    Short on cash and defence supplies, Ukraine is currently defending its lines against a fresh Russian assault after its own counteroffensive over the summer and autumn failed to yield significant gains.

    At the World Economic Forum meetings in Davos, Switzerland, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the gathering and called for a “strong” decision this year on what to do with frozen Russian assets held in Western banks.
