Russian Oil Stuck On India-Banned Ship Finds New Tanker
A cargo of Russian crude that was on a ship rejected by Indian port authorities is now being transferred to another tanker, ship-tracking data show, a sign of how traders are finding ways to skirt regulatory hurdles to keep sensitive freight moving.
The Honduras-flagged Andaman Skies is now in the midst of moving its 767,000 barrels of Russian arctic crude to Ozanno, which sails under the flag of Sao Tome and Principe, according to ship-tracking platform Kpler. This came after authorities banned it from entering India because it didn't have the documents to prove its seaworthiness. Ozanno is scheduled to dock at an unspecified port in west India this weekend.

Ukraine has completed 47% of 2025 missile programme targets
As of 1 June 2025, Ukraine has completed 47% of its planned missile programme tasks for the year. Source: Deputy Minister of Defence Brigadier General Anatolii Klochko, as reported by Mezha Media, a technology and IT news platform within Ukrainska Pravda's holding company Details: Klochko outlined that funding for the missile programme comes from three sources: the state budget, which prioritises the development of modern missile weapons; private business initiatives, funded independently without state support; and international partnerships, providing additional financing and technological assistance. Klochko noted that the Ministry of Defence has established two new bodies to oversee missile development, separating it from the broader weapons systems framework. These are the Department for the Development of Missile Weapons and Missile Defence and the Main Directorate for the Maintenance of Missile Programmes, aimed at reducing bureaucratic obstacles. "If there are questions, we meet directly with manufacturers, communicate and take the initiative to understand what they need to accelerate progress," Klochko said. More details: Klochko highlighted that Ukraine's ballistic missile programme has reached a significant milestone, becoming a key focus of defence development. He described domestic ballistic capabilities as critical for striking strategic Russian targets deep within their defences. The programme is progressing rapidly, with further details to be shared soon. Support Ukrainska Pravda on Patreon!

Iconic vodka maker in Chapter 11 bankruptcy faces liquidation
While many consider it a value brand, Stoli Vodka markets itself as the original premium brand. It's a company that has a deep history. That history, you should note, no longer mentions "Russia" in its origin story due to boycotts of Russian brands after the nation invaded Ukraine. "Made from the finest wheat and distilled into the highest quality alcohol, the process starts in Latvia, at the magnificent Latvijas Balzams distillery (built by order of the Tsar in 1900) where the spirit is then filtered through charcoal and quartz sand and blended with pure artesian well water, to create vodka of unsurpassed smoothness. Latvijas Balzams has been one of the main production facilities for Stoli Vodka since 1948," the company shared on its website. Related: Popular brewery and distillery files Chapter 11 bankruptcy In addition to its classic vodka, Stoli Group owns a number of other popular spirit brands including Elit Vodka, Kentucky Owl bourbon, The Wiseman, a bourbon and rye line, Bayou Rum, Cenote, Villa One, and Se Busca tequilas as well as Tulchan Gin, and various wines. The company makes its overall approach clear. "Our brands push further, aim higher and bring people together over little shared moments of magic. Whether it's vodka or wine, the quality of our products is unlike anything else on the market – because we always strive for better. We care deeply and think creatively, building sophisticated brands that are revered worldwide," it posted on its website. The company, however, filled Chapter 11 bankruptcy in late-November and remains under court protection. That's something that could change soon. Stoli Group USA blamed its bankruptcy filing on a two-month-long cyber attack that impacted its U.S. operations. The Chapter 11 filing involved Stoli Group USA and its Kentucky Owl American Whiskey unit, Under the terms of the original filing, the company planned to continue operations as normal making all required payments. The filing showed the company as having between $50 million and $100 million in liabilities. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter In the filing with the Northern District of Texas bankruptcy court, it also showed between 299 and 1,000 creditors. It does have significant assets and reported holding between $100 and $500 million in tangible assets. The cyberattacks, according to the company, crippled its systems and forced it to rebuild them while operating fully manually.

Stoli used to be known as Stolichnaya, but changed its name in 2022 after Russia invaded Ukraine. On June 16, Stoli will return to court to involve a hearing on its next steps as part of the bankruptcy. The company's bank, Fifth Third has an objection to how it has been using its cash. In the hearing, the court will hear arguments from the bank which is demanding "adequate protection. It has formally objected to Stoli's "continued use of cash collateral without lender's consent," according to a court filing. In absence of that consent, the bank wants the court to appoint a new Chapter 11 trustee or "convert these Chapter 11 cases 11 to Chapter 7." Chris Caldwell, the company's CEO and current trustee, wants the court to continue its original motion and give his company more time to file a Chapter 11 bankruptcy plan. In theory, the bankruptcy court judge, Scott W. Everett, could order the company to liquidate its assets. If that happened, it's unclear if a company would bid for all its assets or whether the company would be sold in pieces. Stoli Group USA does not include the Stoli Group assets in the rest of the world.
