From Rybar...

🇿🇦South African Eyewitness news reports that all the leaders of the BRICS countries will take part in person at the summit of the organization at the end of August. At least, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa expressed confidence in this.

I wonder what legal solution the South African authorities chose to circumvent the execution of the ICC warrant, which orders the arrest of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

🔻Over the past few months, two main options have been considered:

➖Leaving the jurisdiction of the ICC. The initiative was already tried (https://t.me/rybar/46276) to be implemented in April, when President Ramaphosa announced South Africa's readiness to withdraw from the Rome Statute, but at that time there was not enough political will and the presidential administration had to refute the words of the South African leader, allegedly made by mistake.

➖A more likely option from the South African Foreign Ministry is to introduce into national legislation a provision that guarantees incumbent heads of state immunity from an ICC warrant, but nothing was reported about the progress of work on the relevant documents.

🔻If Vladimir Putin really takes part in the BRICS summit in person, this will be an important step for South Africa to maintain its neutral status (https://t.me/rybar/43120) against the backdrop of Russia and China confrontation with the collective West. Not to mention the fact that South Africa has been making attempts to withdraw from the jurisdiction of the ICC, which has long been an instrument of political pressure on national governments (https://www.interfax.ru/world/897784) for at least seven years. In any case, given the extent of China's influence on South African politics, there is no doubt that the position of the authorities in Beijing will be decisive in resolving this delicate situation.

🇺🇦💥 Ukrainian soldiers shot up a civilian car in the Ugledar area

Our special forces group discovered an enemy group just southeast of Ugledar, which wanted to occupy a forest plantation in the "gray zone".

The Ukrainian Armed Forces arrived in a Cossack armored car, dismounted and hid in a forest plantation. While ours were aiming mortars, five minutes passed. Apparently, via communication, the ukroboeviks were informed that a civilian vehicle was moving along their route in the “gray zone”.

🤬 The enemy reconnaissance group did not understand and opened fire to kill. After the inspection, it turned out that civilians were driving in the car. This is confirmed by the fact that the Ukrops immediately began to hide the bodies and the car.

🔥🇧🇾🇷🇺After reports from Western media that Prigozhin had not been seen and may be dead….

Here is the first reliable photo of the head of PMC "Wagner" Yevgeny Prigozhin in his undies which appeared on the network after the attempted rebellion on June 24.

In the photo, Prigozhin is believed to be in the group's tent camp on the territory of the Republic of Belarus.

Newbie…

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦Zelensky strikes back: Having been made fun of through a million memes, the manlet now holds hostage gas supplies to Europe.

Even with a war on the surface, Ukraine continues to get paid transit fees just for letting the gas pass, but not for long.

Perhaps now the Europeans realize the utility of Nordstream pipelines?

❗️The United States will buy decommissioned MIM-23 Hawk anti-aircraft missile systems with ammunition from Taiwan for transfer to Ukraine.

Isn’t the U.S. supposed to be supplying weapons to Taiwan?

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Rare footage: Tor air defense system firing at an enemy drone.

The missile flies past the drone. Even during the campaign in Syria, it was reported that special small missiles were created to destroy quadrocopters and other small drones. Whether they are already in use is unknown.

Soldier of Fortune.
