🇧🇾 The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belarus is "frankly disappointed" with the EU's decision to impose new sanctions

💭"The Belarusian side is frankly disappointed with the decision of the European Union on August 3, 2023, to impose new sanctions against the Republic of Belarus. We consider this step as a continuation of the EU's unfriendly policy towards our country, another attempt at blatant interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign state. Obviously, such actions by Brussels are destroying the paths to return to an acceptable level of Belarusian-European relations...", reads the statement from the ministry.

🤷‍♂️Specifically, a belarusian diplomat at the UN stated that "the illegal unilateral actions of Lithuania and other Western countries regarding the blocking of supplies of Belarusian fertilizers have already jeopardized the food security of not just individual countries, but entire regions and continents."

ℹ️We remind you that in connection with the "constant, systematic, massive, and gross violations of human rights and brutal repressions against all strata of belarusian society, carried out by lukashenko's illegitimate regime," the European Union announced new sanctions against belarus in the form of restrictions on 38 individuals and 3 legal entities.

🇳🇬🇳🇪Senate rejects Tinubu's request for troop deployment in Niger

🗣According to a senator who was present at the meeting, the senators agreed to adopt a resolution condemning the coup and endorsing the efforts of ECOWAS leaders to restore constitutional order in Niger. However, they ruled out military options, believing that the Nigerian army is poorly equipped and not prepared for war.

🤷‍♂️Instead, the Senate called for negotiations with the coup leaders and to resend a delegation to Niamey.

🤦‍♂️The Senate President "strongly condemned the coup that took place in the Republic of Niger" but asked Tinubu to explore a long-term settlement that would maintain the "cordial relations" that have existed between Niger and Nigeria for many years.

📹 Video footage emerges of the Defense Forces' assault actions east of the "fish"

🐠 The forest belt dubbed "fish" by our troops was captured by the enemy in the 20s of July. Yesterday, the enemy released footage of our unsuccessful assault on the area east of the "fish." Essentially, they stormed the very forest belt-ground from which everything once began. Regrettably, our troops had to withdraw.

✅ We received confirmation that these actions are relatively recent. As a result, the enemy no longer controls the southern outskirts of Novoyehorivka.

🇷🇺 Interestingly, during these events, one katsap ran out of the forest belt, attempting to single-handedly fend off 5 APCs with troops. The APC sent him straight to stalin.

🇨🇳🇵🇭A Chinese Coast Guard vessel with water cannons attacked a Philippine Navy supply ship

📍The two countries have a longstanding territorial dispute over shallow waters to the west of the Philippines. In 1995, China began constructing a military base and airfield there by reclaiming land from the sea, aiming to establish a foothold in the region.

⛴In response, in 1999, the Philippines placed an old, rusted ship on the Ayungin Shoal nearby. The ship continuously houses a garrison and serves as a symbolic claim to the territory on behalf of the Philippines.

⛵️On Saturday, a small Philippine Navy vessel was transporting fuel and provisions to the garrison when it encountered resistance from the Chinese Navy. According to the Chinese statement, there were two supply boats and two Philippine Coast Guard vessels carrying construction materials. They allegedly entered Chinese waters without permission, prompting the Chinese response.

🎥Today, footage of the incident has been released.

🇷🇺There is currently no basis for an agreement.

🍆This is the position expressed by dmitry peskov, often referred to in slang as "huylo's talking head," in an interview with a journalist from The New York Times regarding the war in Ukraine.

💬""Being ideological, the war is doubly intractable. 'There is currently no basis for an agreement,' said dmitry peskov, the kremlin's spokesperson. 'We will continue the operation in the foreseeable future.'"

😐There was also a cunning stance mentioned concerning the occupied territories that are under ruzzian control:

💬"I asked Mr. Peskov, the Kremlin's spokesperson, whether Russia wants to expand Ukrainian territory beyond the four annexed regions.
'No,' he said. 'We just want to control all the land we have now inscribed in our Constitution as ours.'"
