This would help retain our army and it would be fair,” she said.

⚡️Almost half of Poland and the Suwalki corridor were left without GPS yesterday. This corridor in NATO is considered the most vulnerable section of the alliance’s borders and a potential “target of Russian aggression, which would like to connect Belarus with the Kaliningrad region,” and the capture of the Suwalki corridor would actually cut off the Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) from NATO. “Russia yesterday tested the operation of its electronic warfare systems from Kaliningrad, as a result, almost half of Poland and the Suwalki corridor were left without GPS,” write enemy media. This is not the first time in recent years that GPS has been jammed in countries hostile to Russia. Estonia and Finland, which decided to join NATO, had the same problems not so long ago, Polish media write. 4 Likes 1 Share

⚡Lavrov: Russia will achieve the goals of the special military operation. "Those who delay negotiations should understand that the longer they procrastinate, the harder it will be to reach an agreement," emphasized Sergey Lavrov. "Those who have not studied history, and there are many of them in the West, and do not know geography, can fantasize about the defeat of Russia," the Russian Foreign Minister stressed. Regarding the agreement between Ukraine and the United Kingdom on security, Russia does not see anything legally binding, the Russian minister said. The West, by encouraging Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to organize elections, wants to bring him back on the track of its own interests, the minister emphasized. The topic of elections in Ukraine doesn't concern Russia too much, Lavrov stated, noting that Zelensky is increasingly "falling into the hands" of Western sponsors. 5 Likes 1 Share
