Governor-in-exile reports an attack on "Wagner HQ."

Ukrainian soldiers, according to the governor-in-exile of Luhansk in eastern Ukraine, have attacked the headquarters of the Russian Wagner mercenary outfit.

Governor-in-exile reports an attack on "Wagner HQ."

Serhiy Haidai reported considerable damage to the hotel where the group had convened in Kadiivka, Luhansk.

Unfortunately, the BBC was unable to confirm Wagner's presence at the hotel independently.

There was also heavy fighting in southern Ukraine over the weekend, with Russian forces attacking the city of Odesa and Ukrainian forces bombing a target in the captured city of Melitopol.

Western experts have concluded that Wagner are state-sponsored mercenaries working to advance the interests of the Kremlin.

Yevgeny Prigozhin, a former restaurateur and close associate of Russian President Vladimir Putin, established the private military business that has been repeatedly accused of war crimes and human rights abuses.

Wagner forces have been sent to Crimea, Syria, Libya, Mali, and the Central African Republic before.

Mr. Haidai said Russia had suffered "major losses" in the Kadiivka strike, and he anticipated "at least 50%" of the surviving personnel to die due to a lack of medical care.

Additional battle in southern Ukraine preceded the attack on the "Wagner HQ" in the east.

About 1.5 million people lost power on Saturday after the Ukrainian army claimed to have shot down 10 drones and another 5 had damaged energy installations in the port city of Odesa.

President Zelensky remarked, "The situation in the Odesa region is quite severe," in his evening video address. "Unfortunately, the strikes were severe enough that it will take more than time to get power back on. It takes a few days, not hours."

Russian drones built in Iran reportedly destroyed vital infrastructure, as reported by Ukrainian authorities.

On Monday, Olaf Scholz, Germany's chancellor, will preside over a virtual conference of G7 leaders to discuss imposing additional sanctions on Russia and Iran.

The proposed measures would go after Iran for supplying drones to Russia, while the ninth package of Russia penalties would add the names of over 200 additional people to the EU sanctions list.

Executives involved in a $1.5 billion South Korean crypto exchange fraud have been imprisoned.

The latest court action brings the total number of V Global executives behind bars to seven, after the CEO was previously sentenced to 22 years in prison. Six executives were sentenced to up to eight years in prison for their roles in the $1.5 billion (2 trillion won) South Korean crypto exchange fraud V Global, but three were not detained so they could fight certain charges in court. V Global ran from July 2020 to April 2021, attracting approximately 50,000 investors by promising 300% returns as well as sizable payments for referring new customers. According to a translation of Dec. 26 reports from South Korean media outlets such as Economist.co.kr, two high-ranking executives named Mr. Yang and Mr. Oh were sentenced to eight and three years in prison, respectively, for their roles in defrauding investors. Another four unnamed executives were sentenced to three years in prison and five years on probation. Three of the six have not yet been detained because they have claimed innocence ...

Putin's plan to change the way the world economy works runs into trouble.

The European Union, the G7, and Australia agreed a few days before December 5 to cap the price of Russian oil shipped by sea at $60 per barrel. This was the start of a new phase in the economic war between Russia and the West. The price cap may be one of the most important responses to Russia's use of its energy reserves as weapons since the start of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, but most people don't understand what it means or what it hopes to accomplish. Many people seem to think that the price cap is a way to stop Russian crude exports, but that is not at all the case. On the contrary, it wants to make sure that they keep flowing even though regulations and sanctions are getting tighter and tighter, but not to Western markets. Since February, China, India, and many other third countries have been buying large amounts of crude oil from Russia at very low prices. They can still do this. The goal of the cap is not to stop these purchases, but to limit Russia's profit...
