Recently the subject of the Russian withdrawal from The Joint Center for Control and Coordination (JCCC) on ceasefire and stabilization of the demarcation line between the parties to the conflict in Donbas has become widely resonant. The main reason for the cessation of the work of Russian military personnel in the JCCC, as it’s being claimed in Russia, is the creation by Kyiv the deliberate obstacles which hinder their work and the ensuring of a cease-fire regime. However, in fact, the Kremlin’s statements about the cessation of its military presence in the JCCC are nothing but the next blackmail of Ukraine on the eve of the adoption of a law on temporarily occupied territories, as well as the result of a progress in supplying arms to Ukraine by the United States and Canada. In other words, the Kremlin has raised the stakes again – writes Igor Fedyk from Defense Express.

Is the competition between battery manufacturers and the solutions that scientists work on, going to affect the shape of not only the automotive industry, but the transport of the future?

But what about lithium – the element on which the commonly used storage and production method of lithium – ion batteries is based? – writes Agata Rzędowska, editor of BiznesAlert.pl.
