The United States and the United Kingdom imposed sanctions yesterday and today, respectively, causing the stablecoin A7A5, linked to Russian actors including Ilan Shor, to collapse by 99% as of today. The sanctions targeted a crypto scheme described as Kremlin-linked. An investigation into Ilan Shor's crypto scheme preceded the sanctions announced by the UK. The stablecoin A7A5 experienced a 16% crash following the US sanctions, according to a report from yesterday. The project has since plummeted to near zero value. Separately, a powerful fire continued at the Novosakhtyn plant of oil products in the Rostov region as of 20:30 today, with flames engulfing the facility and hindering firefighting efforts. Additionally, counteroffensive operations are reportedly underway in the Pokrovsk sector, with Ukrainian forces advancing further south on the city's outskirts. Earlier today, the center of the Chernihiv region reported an enemy reconnaissance UAV, identified as a potential gunner of hostile means of damage.
