Russia Deploys Entire Fleet Of Nuclear Icebreakers To Arctic

Hello, Hello, Canada, Hello! Are you listening?
Russia has deployed all eight of its nuclear icebreakers simultaneously in an unprecedented move. The fleet is being used to keep critical winter shipping lanes in the Gulf of Ob and the Yenisei Gulf open, ensuring continued access to key export terminals. The deployment sends a clear signal to the West that Russia can sustain year-round Arctic shipping and maintain its natural resource export revenues.

Ship tracking website MarineTraffic reported earlier this week:

Russia deploys all eight nuclear icebreakers to keep Arctic export routes open.

Russia has, for the first time, deployed its entire fleet of eight nuclear-powered icebreakers simultaneously to maintain winter navigation in the Gulf of Ob and the Yenisei Gulf. #MarineTraffic data shows that the nuclear icebreakers Taymyr, Yamal, Arktika, Yakutiya, Sibir, and 50 Let Pobedy have been operating in the Gulf of Ob since December 14, supporting traffic linked to Arctic Gate, Yamal LNG, and other terminals. Meanwhile, Ural and Vaygach are deployed in the Yenisei Gulf, enabling access to ports and industrial sites deep inside Siberia.

Were the Kamloops burials just talk?

... it was all just talk and rumours spread by people like Ken Manuel until the Kamloops Band crossed the Rubicon with its 27 May 2021 media release which shocked the world. Unfortunately for the Band, there was no way it could credibly backtrack from that media release once it realized its claim was false. Consequently, so as not to lose face, the Band has successfully stonewalled for over 5 years, refusing to excavate because excavation would decisively prove its claim that it had discovered ‘the remains of 215 children’ is false, and the Band doesn’t want to be held accountable for misleading the world.
