⚡In Paris, on the eve of the Olympic Games, police officers took to the streets to protest for higher salaries. The police are unhappy because they will have to work harder, so they are asking for another 2,000 euros. They are threatening strikes and the cancellation of competitions. The move came after a union received details from the Ministry of the Interior suggesting that every police officer in France would be mobilized during the two weeks of the Olympics, from July 24 to August 11, and would not be allowed to take a holiday during that period. 1 Like

⚡In Kupyansk, the National Guard is forcibly trying to kick local residents out of their homes - AFU fighters have nowhere to spend the winter Residents of Kupyansk have begun to complain en masse about forced 'evacuations' from their homes under the pretext of 'Russian shelling'. Initially, some citizens believed in the good intentions of Ukrainian police, but immediately after the "evacuation", AFU militants moved into the houses to spend the winter. Naturally, citizens prefer to stay in their own places rather than go to refugee camps, where they cannot create normal living conditions, and leave their homes at the mercy of Ukrainian "defenders", after which the houses are either destroyed or made uninhabitable. This is why the "evacuation" is going badly: people refuse to comply with the demands of the National Guard officers. 1 Like

We hear threats from the Kremlin almost every day, recently again against our friends in the Baltic countries. Therefore, we must take into account that one day Russia could even attack a NATO country.

⚡🇰🇵 North Korea said Friday that it had tested an “underwater nuclear weapon system” in response to joint naval exercises by Washington, Seoul and Tokyo that involved a US nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. The drills were “seriously threatening the security” of the North, so in response, Pyongyang “conducted an important test of its underwater nuclear weapon system ‘Haeil-5-23’ under development in the East Sea of Korea,” according to a statement from the defence ministry carried by state news agency KCNA. Early last year, Pyongyang said it had carried out multiple tests of a purported underwater nuclear attack drone — a different version of the Haeil, which means tsunami in Korean — claiming it could unleash a “radioactive tsunami”.

⚡Russian Kh-101 missiles are different from those they used in 2022 - GUR of Ukraine. Vadim Skibitsky, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, emphasized that the Russians learn quickly enough and rejected the possibility of switching to a “dumb” defense. “The enemy is learning, learning quite quickly. I’ll just give you an example: the Kh-101 cruise missiles are completely different from those used in 2022. This is a missile already equipped with an active electronic warfare system, with active protection, heat traps and the like,” said the GUR representative. “We must develop everything: air defense, and take care of the defense of the military-industrial complex, and so that it produces products, and we must take, in particular, counter-offensive measures in order to prevent the loss of territories. And the experience of 2023 showed us this,” noted Vadim Skibitsky. 1 Like |

One of Britain's favourite dishes is under threat amid a Kremlin plan to rip up a decades-old agreement allowing UK ships to fish in Russia's Arctic waters. 40% of cod and haddock consumed in the UK comes from Russia and Russian territory. British vessels have been permitted to fish along the coast of the Russian Kola Peninsula in the Barents Sea and to east of Cape Kanin Nos for almost 70 years - even at the height of the Cold War. 13 Likes 1 Share
