⚡Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov:

If Zelensky cares so much about the constitution of Ukraine, then he should remember the articles that oblige the preservation of the rights of Russian speakers in Ukraine.

And those rights are supposed to be enforced by a foreign nation just because they are speaking the same language. Top much vodka and thinking through the anus.

Donald Trump stated that he does not plan to participate in the first meeting between Putin and Zelensky, which will be held in a bilateral format.
"Decisions in the negotiations will be made by Putin and Zelensky, the USA is far from the conflict”

The US isn't far from the conflict, they are just trying to run away from consequences because nobody can’t predict it anymore

⚡US Treasury Secretary Bessent:

Before the war in Ukraine, less than 1% of India’s oil came from Russia. Now it is 42%.

The system is allowing India to profiteer by buying cheap Russian oil, reselling it, and pocketing $16B in excess profits.

This opportunistic arbitrage is unacceptable.

⚡Russia is working with China to create an automated command and control system for amphibious operations under the codename Sword, according to leaked documents published by the hacking group BlackMoon.

The papers show that in June 2024, Russia’s state arms exporter Rosoboronexport signed a contract worth €4.284 million with China’s CETC International Co., Ltd. The deal involves the transfer of technical documentation to support the development of the system.

The Sword project includes software and hardware designed for command vehicles, communication devices, field command posts, amphibious assault units, and wearable gear. The network is intended to provide secure data transmission and real-time coordination from corps level down to individual soldiers.

China plans to integrate these command elements into its domestic military vehicles, specifically the CSK131A Dongfeng Mengshi armored platforms.

According to the leaks, Russia has already completed the preliminary and sketch design phases, which have been approved by the Chinese side. The current stage focuses on prototype production and live testing at military proving grounds.

In parallel, Russia is training 60 People’s Liberation Army (PLA) personnel to operate the system. The program includes 152 hours of lectures, 130 hours of group exercises, and 150 hours of practical training on radios such as the R-187VE, R-188E, and InmarSat-BGAN Explorer 727. Training is partly conducted at Tulatotchmash, where simulators have been built to support exercises.

The leaked documents also describe how the system will display positions of friendly and enemy forces in real time, while allowing coordination with artillery and aviation assets on digital tablets.

I once mentioned that Zaluzhny is Ukraine's next president. Zelensky know that too. That's why he fought Zaluzhny back then before firing him.

On a Greece-bound sailing, Israeli passengers spotted a Palestinian flag hoisted to provoke them—and answered with a bold banner of their own: “LET OUR PEOPLE GO!” A clear call to free the hostages.

Greek ports have seen a surge of pro-Hamas demonstrations targeting Israeli cruise traffic in recent weeks, with flags, flares, and dockside protests increasingly common.

The American media company "The Free Press" investigated and found that ALL the photos of the "hungry Gazan children" that were published on the front pages of Western media outlets were of children suffering from pre-existing medical conditions, and not one of these leading media outlets even bothered to do a simple Google search to find this out . This is not what the average Gazan in the Strip looks like.
