⚡️The Spectator: Crimea makes Russia superior in the Black Sea

Naval bases in 🇷🇺 Crimea give Russia superiority in the Black Sea, which forces NATO countries to increase their presence in the region, The Spectator columnist Mark Galeotti said.

"As long as Russian forces are deployed on the peninsula, the Black Sea will continue to be subject to Moscow's will and ability to threaten and suppress," he pointed out.

According to Galeotti, the Western military alliance has long considered the Black Sea region a front line. And it sees Crimea as a platform for Russian attacks and a target for retaliatory 🇺🇦 Ukrainian air and sea attacks.

It is precisely because of that peninsula that NATO forces are making provocations near the Russian border in order to challenge Moscow's dominance in the waters that the military bloc is trying to control, concluded Galeotti.

⚡️ 🇷🇺 Kremlin views 🇬🇧 UK's new military aid package for 🇺🇦 Ukraine "extremely negatively"

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has told journalists that 🇷🇺 Moscow views the UK’s announcement of a new military aid package for Ukraine “extremely negatively.”

🇬🇧 “Great Britain qualifies to be able to take the first place among those countries that continue to pump Ukraine with weapons," Peskov said.

"This cannot have any significant impact on the course of the special military operation, but it will lead to further destruction and retaliatory actions. For 🇺🇦 Ukraine, this makes the situation more difficult."

⚡NATO’s “most urgent task” is to ensure that 🇺🇦 Ukraine wins against Russia’s war, the military alliance’s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg told the Copenhagen Democracy Summit on Monday.

“The most urgent task now is to ensure that Ukraine prevails — that 🇷🇺 (Russian) President Putin does not win this war,” Stoltenberg said.

“Fundamentally, NATO's task is to support Ukraine, as NATO allies and NATO have done now for more than a year, but also to prevent this war from escalating beyond Ukraine,” the official said.

⚡Some countries see "Western double standards" regarding war in 🇺🇦 Ukraine, German chancellor says.

🇩🇪 Germany’s Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Monday some countries see what they consider “Western double standards” in regard to the war in Ukraine.

Speaking at the Global Vision Summit in Berlin, Scholz said that leaders from countries — such as 🇮🇳 India, 🇿🇦 South Africa, and 🇻🇳 Vietnam — abstained from calling on 🇷🇺 Russia to end its invasion of Ukraine at the United Nations General Assembly in February because they are “struggling with the unequal application” of the West’s “principles.”

“What they expect is representation on equal terms and an end to Western double standards,” he said. These claims must be addressed if the West wants to "encourage" countries in Asia, Africa, and the Americas to “join us in building and defending a stable global order,” he added.
Scholz told the summit that the G7 group will take steps toward creating “secure and resilient economies based on partnerships with the Global South” at the G7 conference in 🇯🇵 Japan later this week.

“I will also remain personally committed to working towards a more inclusive, more equitable global order,” Scholz said, “particularly when it comes to [Europe’s] neighboring continent, Africa."

In his message, Prigozhin asked rhetorically, “Who is behind this?
