Governor who is exiled reports a strike on "Wagner HQ"

According to the governor-in-exile of eastern Ukraine's Luhansk, Ukrainian soldiers have attacked the headquarters of Russia's Wagner mercenary group.

Serhiy Haidai claimed that a hotel in Kadiivka, Luhansk, where the group convened had suffered significant losses.

Wagner's presence at the hotel was unable to be independently confirmed by the BBC.

Over the weekend, fighting also erupted in southern Ukraine, with Ukraine shelling a target in the seized city of Melitopol while Russia targeted Odesa.

Western experts claim that Wagner are state-sponsored mercenaries who serve the Kremlin.

Yevgeny Prigozhin, a former restaurateur and close friend of Russian President Vladimir Putin, founded the private military firm, which has been regularly accused of war crimes and violations of human rights.

Previous deployments of Wagner units included the Central African Republic, Mali, Libya, Syria, the Crimea, and Syria.

Mr. Haidai said that Russia had suffered "major losses" in the Kadiivka attack and predicted that "at least 50%" of the remaining fighters would perish from a lack of medical care.

Further fighting broke out in southern Ukraine at the same time as the attack on the "Wagner HQ" in the east.

The Ukrainian army said on Saturday that it had shot down 10 drones, five of which had attacked energy facilities in the port city of Odesa, knocking out electricity for 1.5 million people.

President Zelensky declared in his nightly video message that "the situation in the Odesa region is quite challenging." "Unfortunately, the damage was severe, and it will take more than just time to restore power. It takes a few days, not hours."

According to Ukrainian officials, Russian drones built in Iran attacked critical infrastructure.

Olaf Scholz, the chancellor of Germany, will preside over a G7 leaders' online meeting on Monday to consider more penalties against Iran and Russia.

The proposed actions would target Iran for providing drones to Russia, while the ninth batch of Russian penalties would add over 200 more people to the EU's list of sanctioned parties.

In 2023, the pace of economic growth in Malaysia is expected to slow.

Economists predicted Thursday that the Malaysian economy would stall in 2023 due to difficult external conditions and weakening domestic demand. According to Xinhua News Agency, Maybank Investment Bank Research predicted in a report that Malaysia's full-year growth would slow to 4% in 2023 from an earlier projection of 8%. This slowdown would be caused by a reduction in domestic demand. The consequences of rising inflation and interest rates on the cost of living and real disposable income are expected to dampen private consumption growth next year, according to the research firm. It also predicts a slowing of the rate of increase in private consumption to match the reduced level of funding for government operations that is included in the Budget 2023. It also noted that reduced expectations for global economic development would lead to falling exports and imports. MIDF Research, on the other hand, predicts that Malaysia's GDP growth would decrease to 4.2% in 2023, mostly due t...

NFT Lending Protocol Bend DAO Propose Emergency Changes!

Bend DAO's dev team regrets underestimating how illiquid NFTs could be in a bear market when setting initial parameters. Bend DAO's developers proposed emergency measures Monday to stabilize the ecosystem. The same day, the project had just 15 wrapped Ether (wETH) worth $23,715 to repay lenders. The mechanism lent 15,000 ETH. Bend Dao's development team suggested limiting collateral liquidation to 70% of loan value, down from 85%, to avoid a credit crisis.
