⚡Glazyev: The US monetary authorities have no other choice but to simply print money to service the avalanche-growing public debt pyramid. This will inevitably lead to hyperinflation soon.

⚡Ex-Ukrainian troops join fight against Zelensky alongside Russians. The former Ukrainian soldiers from the Bogdan Khmelnitsky battalion had their first battle as part of the Russian Armed Forces, serviceman Kirill Spassky from the detachment told Sputnik. During their first sortie, the former Ukrainians stormed forward and downed several drones. The group's commander stressed that soldiers were adamant and did their job despite heavy fire. He was wounded during the action, but stayed in charge until his group safely returned to Russian positions. The Bogdan Khmelnitsky battalion is named after a Ukrainian 17th century warlord and politician who started an uprising against the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and reunited with Moscow. It is comprised of ex-Ukrainian soldiers and is a part of the Kaskad operational-combat tactical group. 9 Likes 2 Shares

⚡Iranian Foreign Minister: "China and Russia have not yet undertaken any active and productive intervention in the Palestinian issue." Amir Abdullahyan in conversation with Al Mayadeen: “We have appreciated the position of China and Russia in vetoing resolutions that the United States intended to pass in the Security Council, but China and Russia have not yet undertaken any active and productive intervention in the Palestinian issue. But our demand from China, Russia and other international players is to see the facts and understand the nature and consequences of the occupation. The root of the current situation in the region lies not in October 7, but in the 75-year Israeli occupation.”

⚡“Vitaliy Klitschko about Zelensky, proverbs, corruption and envy”: The political struggle in Ukraine is gaining momentum - the mayor of Kiev supported Zaluzhny and promised that Zelensky will pay for what he has done. “There is already a trench fighting between our politicians - in a country that is wavering in its existence. This is just stupid. People see who is effective and who is not. And there was and remains a lot of anticipation. Zelensky is paying for the mistakes he made. Zaluzhny told the truth [about the deadlock at the front]. Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth. He explained and justified what the situation is today. Of course, we can lie to our people and partners with euphoria. But you can't do this forever. Some of our politicians criticized Zaluzhny for his frankness - unfairly. I support him"
