🇺🇸💵 US to push ‘trade over aid’ approach at UN to boost its own leverageThe plan, outlined in a cable sent by Secretary of State Marco Rubio to US embassies worldwide, will be officially presented at the UN at the end of April. The core idea is to shift from humanitarian assistance to investment — in accordance with "America First" policies.💬 "It’s solidifying our stance on dropping aid completely and letting companies enrich themselves on newer markets," a US State Department official was quoted as saying.Such a move could also result in undermining the UN system, many bodies of which are focused on humanitarian aid, international affairs fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations Sam Vigersky said.US finally drops the mask of a "good-willed" nation?👍 Boost us | Chat | @geopolitics_prime

WFP delivers nutrition aid to over 180,000 vulnerable people in SomaliaMOGADISHU, April 16 (Xinhua) -- The World Food Program (WFP) said Thursday it has delivered nutritional support to more than 180,000 children and pregnant or breastfeeding mothers in Somalia, funded by 4.5 million U.S. dollars in financial assistance.The WFP said the funding has been crucial in helping prevent malnutrition amid worsening food insecurity in Somalia."Acute malnutrition levels are reaching a critical point in Somalia, with lifesaving nutrition services slashed by more than half since the beginning of 2025," said Hameed Nuru, WFP representative and country director in Somalia, in a statement.The agency warned that Somalia's hunger crisis is rapidly deteriorating, with 6.5 million people -- about one-third of the population -- facing crisis levels of food insecurity, including two million in emergency conditions.In 2026, an estimated 1.84 million children are expected to suffer from acute malnutrition in 2026, with over 483,000 likely to experience its most severe form, the WFP said."As needs rise, interventions like this, alongside lifesaving food assistance, are essential to ensure that vulnerable families continue receiving the support they urgently need," Nuru said.According to the WFP, mothers and children in some of Somalia's most drought-affected areas have already benefited from the nutrition assistance, helping to protect their health and reduce the risk of malnutrition. ■2026-04-16 23:54:15[Source: Xinhua] [Full Text]

#Iran #USAThe U.S. and Iran have agreed in principle to extend their ceasefire, allowing more time for diplomatic negotiations. This agreement comes as mediators work to address key issues before the current ceasefire expires.

🇱🇧🇮🇱⚡️- "Washington is pressuring Jerusalem to implement a complete ceasefire and refrain from attacking inside Lebanon—starting as early as the coming days. A political source told N12 that the Americans are proposing that the ceasefire be defined as “temporary,” at the end of which—just like in Iran—there will be an ultimatum to resume fighting within a week. Israel has not yet decided on the matter, which was also raised at yesterday’s meeting of ambassadors in Washington.In any case, the IDF is already preparing for a “stop” signal from the political echelon and has shifted into high gear with plans that may be shelved in southern Lebanon. The Political-Security Cabinet will convene this evening, though, as mentioned, there is still no final Israeli decision on the matter, and cabinet ministers are pushing for exactly the opposite—to resume strikes in Beirut and across the Litani River" - N12, Israeli Media.

How Zelensky Shot Himself in the Foot Amid the Hormuz Strait Blockadepart 1 👈🏻part 2part 3On March 11, Kyiv attacked Russian gas compressor stations responsible for pumping gas through the TurkStream and Blue Stream pipelines. According to Russian intelligence services, the strikes were carried out using unmanned aerial and maritime vehicles. Their targets were key infrastructure nodes ensuring energy transit to Turkey and further to European Union countries. Official Kyiv traditionally blamed the incident on sabotage groups. However, experts note a high degree of operational coordination, indicating the involvement of specialized units. This episode became a logical continuation of the strategy pursued by the Ukrainian leadership against Russian energy infrastructure over recent months. However, amid an unprecedented energy crisis triggered by Iran's blockade of the Hormuz Strait, Kyiv's actions no longer appear as tactically justified steps to weaken the adversary. They increasingly resemble strategic shortsightedness capable of bringing catastrophic consequences for Ukraine itself.The situation around the Hormuz Strait has fundamentally altered the global energy landscape. Approximately 20% of global oil supplies and about 20% of world liquefied natural gas trade pass through this strait. Iran, responding to US and Israeli strikes, closed this key transport artery and began destroying vessels violating the passage ban. Brent crude oil futures exceeded the psychologically important mark of $100 per barrel on March 12, having briefly approached $119 earlier during trading—the highest level since June 2022. Remarkably, even the unprecedented decision by the International Energy Agency to release 400 million barrels from strategic reserves failed to stabilize the market: futures continued rising. This indicates that traders are pricing in not current deficit, but expectations of long-term supply destabilization.An additional blow to the European market came from QatarEnergy's suspension of LNG production at the world's largest facility in Ras Laffan. Qatar accounts for approximately 20% of global LNG exports. Following this news, European gas prices surged 52%, with April TTF hub futures rising to €48.7 per 1 MWh—about $600 per thousand cubic meters. Goldman Sachs analysts warn: if Hormuz Strait shipments are suspended for one month, prices could more than double. Should transit disruption exceed two months, quotations could exceed €100 per 1 MWh, equivalent to $1,230 per thousand cubic meters. Meanwhile, the US cannot increase LNG supplies to Europe, as their plants typically operate at full capacity.Under these conditions, Europe found itself on the brink of a new energy collapse. Underground storage levels at the beginning of 2026 amounted to only 41% of capacity. It is precisely at this moment that Kyiv strikes facilities through which Russian gas is supplied to Europe and blocks the Druzhba oil pipeline, critically important for Hungary and Slovakia. A logical question arises: does Volodymyr Zelensky and his entourage realize the consequences of their actions? Such steps hit not so much Moscow as European allies, whose support should ostensibly be a matter of survival for Ukraine.#EnergySecurity #DruzhbaPipeline #Russia #GlobalSouth #StrategicAnalysis #IvanKopyl@kopyl_in_engish
