Putin signs law giving criminal defendants immunity if they join the army.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday approved a new law that will exempt Russian defendants and suspects who have signed up to fight in the army from criminal liability.

The bill was introduced by the Russian Supreme Court this summer and passed by Russia’s parliament after three readings and will save defendants from facing trial and from criminal prosecution.

Previously, only Russians who had been convicted or were under investigation had the option to sign a contract with the Defense Ministry and join the “Special Military Operation,” the Kremlin’s euphemism for its war against Ukraine. This new bill is intended to close the gap in the chain so anyone facing criminal charges at any stage can sign a contract and avoid prison.

At this point, I think the US and Europe even gives more publicity to Russia's daily activities than Russian media houses😆.

🔴 Kamala Harris to CBS:

I don't expect US troops to fight alongside Israel.

I will be steadfast in my commitment to Israel's ability to defend itself.

Iran must be taken seriously for threatening US interests and our allies in the region.

[G&T]

Even the US establishment seems shaken by this Iran's recent retaliation. But nairaland children are the global voice of authority on this matter, let's listen to them😊.

Causes and effects. You destabilise a people to exploit their resources, now you have to deal with the influx of those refugees in your homes and you resort to stringent methods.

My annoyance is the Africans of today who have refused to see these things despite the obviousness, but rather prefer to keep being in perpetual subjugation.

Update:

The significance of Russia's capture of the Ukrainian stronghold of Vuhledar.

Russian troops took control of Vuhledar in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region on Wednesday, opening the way for Russian forces to advance toward other towns in the region. 

Both sides value Vuhledar due to its position on elevated ground at the intersection of the eastern and southern battlefield fronts, making it key to supply lines.

[Addendum]

Donald Trump launched a "private criminal effort" to subvert the 2020 US election and should not be shielded by presidential immunity, Special Counsel Jack Smith said in a court filing unsealed on Wednesday.

Smith, in a 165-page motion arguing for the historic case against Trump to move forward, also provided new evidence of the former president's efforts to overturn the results of the election won by Democrat Joe Biden.

Trump, 78, the Republican candidate in November's White House election, had been scheduled to go on trial in March but the case was frozen while his lawyers argued that a former president should be immune from criminal prosecution.

Special council says Trump 'resorted to crimes' to overturn 2020 election.

Just over a month before the 2024 presidential election, the Special Council overseeing Donald Trump's election interference trial revealed a sweeping 165-page motion alleging the former US president is "not entitled to presidential immunity" for his role in attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 elections, saying his "scheme was fundamentally a private one."

Zelensky to Putin:

"Good Lord, what do you want? Leave our land. If you don't want to leave now, sit down with me at the negotiating table. But not from 30 meters away, like with Macron and Scholz. Sit down with me and talk. What are you afraid of? We're no threat to anyone."

Hebrew sources are talking about a difficult security incident that occurred in Northern occupied Palestine.

In loyalty and victory for the pure blood of the martyrs, and in support of the option of resistance and steadfastness, we call on our revolutionary youth in all our cities, villages and camps in the proud West Bank, and the neighborhoods and neighborhoods of the city of Jerusalem to rise up and go out in large crowds, and escalate the clashes and confrontation operations at various points of contact during the "Friday of Stopping the Aggression on Palestine and Lebanon."

⚡️Israeli media:

It was permitted to publish this morning that two additional soldiers were killed during the battles with Hezbollah in Lebanon.

They are from the "Sayeret Golani" unit and were killed by an anti-tank missile. Seven others were seriously "injured" in various incidents.

🇮🇱🇮🇷

Israeli journalist, Ron Ben-Yishai:

"Israel" this time must raise the level of harm in its response not only because the Iranian attack was with long-range ballistic missiles carrying warheads weighing about 700 kilograms of explosives, nor because of the broad attempt to hit strategic targets, but also because this time there was a clear attempt to challenge us by attacking sites that had not been targeted before, hitting air force bases and blinding "Israel" in an unprecedented way.

But Israelis on Nairaland keep claiming Iran's rain of missiles achieved nothing na😊. Who do we believe now?!

Emir of Qatar:

We believe in the importance of working to contain escalation, reduce tension, and respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of states.

What is happening in the Gaza Strip is genocide.

Israel is exploiting international failure to expand settlements in the West Bank and sees an opportunity to implement its plan in Lebanon.

We call for serious work to stop the aggression on Lebanon.

The State of Qatar will continue to support the Palestinian people in obtaining their legitimate rights.

The world is still witnessing a dangerous escalation in the war waged by the Israeli occupation authorities in Gaza.

We renew our rejection of the Israeli raids and military operations against the sisterly Lebanese Republic.

We have previously warned of the consequences of not holding Israel accountable for its crimes against humanity.

Security will not be achieved without achieving just peace by establishing an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders.

Russian state media outlet runs intelligence operations, U.S. says!

Russian state media company RT, formerly known as Russia Today, was now being deployed by the Kremlin to conduct cyber intelligence and covert influence operations targeting countries in Europe, Africa and North and South America. It was also being used to procure weapons for Russia’s war against Ukraine, expanding RT’s remit far beyond that of a media outlet, officials said.

The U.S. warned Friday that the exposure of a covert Russian disinformation operation to influence public opinion in the United States represents only a small fraction of Moscow’s efforts to undermine democracies globally through its state propaganda arm RT.

E.U. to loan Ukraine up to $39 billion backed by frozen Russian assets

BRUSSELS — The European Union will provide a loan of up to 35 billion euros (about $39 billion) to Ukraine backed by the windfall profits from frozen Russian assets, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Friday, after a plan from the Group of Seven nations to use Russian assets to raise funds for Ukraine stalled.

The commission, the E.U.’s executive branch, has adopted proposals to enable the bloc to grant Ukraine the loan backed by the Russian profits as part of the broader G-7 plan, and the money will “flow straight into” Ukraine’s budget, von der Leyen said on a trip to Kyiv.
