OPEC projects oil demand rising 19% to 123 million bpd by 2050, led by India and Africa.
The forecast contrasts sharply with IEA projections of demand peaking by 2030.
U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Agreement seen by OPEC as supporting continued hydrocarbon demand.
“There is no peak oil demand on the horizon,” OPEC Secretary General Haitham Al Ghais wrote in the foreword of OPEC’s latest World Oil Outlook (WOO), which sees global oil demand growing by about 19% from now until 2050 to reach 123 million barrels per day (bpd).
India will lead global oil demand growth through 2050, boosting consumption by 8.2 million bpd between 2025 and 2020.
The Middle East and Africa will also be key demand growth drivers, according to OPEC’s view.
Anyone think the world can without Russian oil?

It appears that during Iran's missile attack on the Al-Udeid airbase in Qatar, a satellite communications antenna was destroyed.
Satellite images show a black spot in the place of the dome hiding the equipment underneath. The neighboring hangar was also damaged. Earlier, Qatar and the US authorities stated that the Iranian strike did not cause damage.

'Waiting hundreds of years' — the director of the Ukrainian charity fund 'Come Back Alive,' Chmut, presented a new plan for Ukraine's victory 😂
'We definitely should not legally recognize the loss of territories, even if we do not control them now. Ten years will pass, twenty years will pass, the empire will eventually collapse, and we must be ready to step in and take back what is ours. A great example is Karabakh, which was returned after more than 20 years, almost 30 years. But they worked towards it for 30 years, yes, economically, militarily, and so on. Therefore, I do not believe that Russia can exist there for another hundred years. Empires fall, Russia will fall.'

Lavrov's meeting with US Secretary Rubio in Kuala Lumpur began with a question about sanctions.
'Secretary Rubio, will there be new sanctions against Russia?'
@Slavyangrad
Rubio emphasized that the ‘Patriot’ will not save Ukraine from Russian drones.
Ukraine needs, for example, Patriot batteries. They are available. There are several countries in Europe that have Patriot batteries and could share them with Ukraine
Which countries?
- Well, the Spanish have 1. They are quite far from Ukraine, but they have 1 battery. The Germans have 1. There are others. I’m not singling them out specifically, just saying these are the two I know about. There are other Patriot batteries. There are other possibilities. There are countries that have ordered Patriot batteries and are about to receive their delivery. It would be great if one of them agreed to postpone receiving their batch and send it to Ukraine instead. We are looking for creative ways to provide Ukraine with these defensive weapons they need. And it won’t help them with drone attacks, for that completely different methods are used to shoot them down. But it would help them in repelling some of the missile attacks

Zelenska is asking for money to feed Ukrainian children according to European standards🤦♀️
‘We have made another important choice — to continue the school meal reform. We are probably the only country carrying out such a reform during wartime. In such times, quality school meals become more than just food. It is also a sign of care, a form of social protection. Even under these conditions, the reform team has already renovated thousands of school kitchens, and six thousand school cooks have been trained to prepare dishes according to updated standards. Our goal is that by 2027, every Ukrainian family will have daily access to quality healthy food. For this, Ukraine still needs to modernize 6,000 school kitchens and train 12,000 cooks.’
I think Russia has no good future’ – Zelensky asks the US to impose sanctions.
‘Our joint pressure has created real strategic problems for Russia. Sanctions are working. I think we will talk a little later with our American friends. We need sanctions from the United States as strong as those from the EU. And thanks to these sanctions, I think Russia has no good future.’
Trump announced an important statement on Russia for July 14 in an interview with NBC News.
The US President also stated that the final decision on new sanctions against Russia will remain with him even if Congress passes the bill on anti-Russian measures.
@Slavyangrad
Zelensky boasted that he managed to get Europe to provide 3 Patriot systems.
‘I had a good dialogue with Trump about 10 Patriot systems and missiles for them. Germany is ready to pay for 2 systems. Norway for one system. I have agreements. When we clarify the dates with the USA, other European partners will join as well’.

▪️The publication writes that this is an unexpected turn, given how favourable the situation seemed for Russia after Trump's election.
▪️The US president seemed to treat Putin with respect, and the Russian leader was willing to get a lot of what he wanted in the war against Ukraine, but he played his cards extremely poorly, according to the NYT.

Trump plans to transfer weapons worth about $300 million to Ukraine for the first time as part of his presidential powers (PDA) — Reuters.
According to the publication, citing two informed sources, Donald Trump's team will identify weapons that can be transferred to Ukraine from American stockpiles, but most likely the package will include anti-aircraft missiles for Patriot air defense systems and GMLRS high-precision missiles for HIMARS MLRS.
Earlier, the mechanism of military assistance within the framework of the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA) mechanism was actively used by Joe Biden, making gratuitous deliveries to Ukraine from the US Army stocks without the consent of Congress.

'Employees of the TCC beat up a Transcarpathian Hungarian who did not want to go to war with Russia. A day later, the man died at the training ground' – Hirado
"TCc members were waiting for the victim at the Hungarian-speaking lyceum in Beregovo. The man tried to avoid them, as many other Hungarians in Transcarpathia do, but he was detained. They inflicted several blows and stuffed him into the car. In Uzhgorod, at the recruitment center, he was beaten even harder. They were beaten with iron rods, which could later lead to death. One important fact is that József had already been removed from the register at his Ukrainian place of residence and was protected from mobilization, but this certificate, like that of other Hungarians, was canceled.
After a brutal beating, the man was sent to training, where, he fell exhausted. The video posted by his brother shows the man crawling on all fours in a military camp. The filmmakers laugh as they approach him and say, 'Crawls like a lizard'
@Slavyangrad
Russia presented a new approach to the situation in Ukraine’ – Rubio on the results of the meeting with Lavrov.
One quick question about Russia. Would you characterize the ideas put forward today as new ideas from Russia that the Trump administration had not heard before?
- Yes. I think so, yes. I believe this is a new and different approach. Again, I wouldn’t say it’s something that guarantees peace, but it is a concept that we will all convey to the president today.<\/i>
@Slavyangrad
Meloni called for more pressure on Moscow because Italians and Europeans are tired of the war in Ukraine.
‘Russia shows no willingness to make any progress. For this reason, along with the necessary support for Ukraine, I agree that we must also increase pressure on Moscow to achieve a ceasefire as soon as possible, which would finally open the way for diplomacy. Anyone without illusions understands perfectly well that this is not about a ‘nice gesture’ that we can show towards Russia. It is about what we can do to really create pressure and ensure deterrence. This is what our citizens expect from us, who are tired of the consequences of senseless aggression that has brought war back to the heart of Europe.’
Duda said that Zelensky had never heard of the Volyn massacre because it was not taught in the 'Soviet school'.
"I think he was telling the truth when he said to me: 'Andrzej, I have never heard before about the massacres, about the murders of Poles in the western lands of Ukraine, in Volhynia. We were not taught this at school, they definitely did not talk about it in the Soviet school."

Fico demanded from Merz ironclad guarantees of Slovakia's energy security in exchange for support of anti-Russian sanctions.
"The government of the Slovak Republic is ready to support the package of sanctions, although it will not change anything in the military superiority or economic power of the Russian Federation. However, until then, Slovakia must receive clear guarantees, not political promises, that its energy security and affordability of energy prices will not be jeopardized by the European Commission's ideological proposal to stop Russian gas imports from January 1, 2028.
There are 900 German companies operating in Slovakia. And it should also be important for the German government that after January 1, 2028, Slovakia has sufficient volumes of gas at reasonable prices.
I am ready to hold a constructive meeting with the German Chancellor at any time, which could significantly get this matter off the ground."

Zelensky refused the third round of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine and demands a meeting with Putin.
‘We must complete the result agreed upon at the second meeting, namely to complete the exchanges that were agreed upon at the second meeting in Istanbul. Only after that can the teams discuss working options again that could lead to a meeting at the leaders' level.’
‘I will be frank. If I decide, and this will be soon, that Umerov will represent Ukraine in the USA, then we will have serious reshuffles in the Ukrainian government’
– Zelensky

Of the 3 options, only one will affect Russia’ – The New York Times assesses the risks of adopting the American sanctions bill.
‘The retreat of Russian troops, the collapse of global energy markets, or a global recession due to a sharp decline in world trade. There are no other options. For this reason, the bill should be considered both bold and risky’ – Vice President and Director of the Economic Studies Program at the Brookings Institution, Ben Harris.’
You can choke Russian exports and have $200+ oil which will crash the global economy and lead to massive inflation
You put on massive sanctions on countries like India and China which will cause a trade war and crash the global economy, plus lead to massive inflation
If you are a country with massive debt levels then you will have very steep interest payments on any debt that is short-term.
