โผ๏ธ๐ท๐บ๐ฎ๐ณ India has become the second largest supplier of critical technologies to Russia, โ Bloomberg
โช๏ธIndian exports to Russia of goods such as microchips, circuit boards and machine tools exceeded $60 million in April and May, about double the previous months of the year. They also jumped to $95 million in July. Only China is ahead of India in this respect.
โช๏ธโThe envoys (of Western countries) who raise this issue do not receive much of a response from their Indian counterparts,โ the publication writes.
โช๏ธAlmost a fifth of the โsensitive technologiesโ that enter the Russian military-industrial complex got there through India.
โช๏ธIn addition to India, such re-export hubs to Russia as Malaysia and Thailand are gaining strength.
โช๏ธThe agency recalls that India has also become the largest buyer of Russian oil.
โช๏ธA key factor in this shift is the huge reserves of rupees that Russia has accumulated through oil sales.
โช๏ธAt the same time, pressure on India is a problem for the West, โbecause US and EU politicians want to develop partnerships with the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while he is developing ties with Putin.โ
โช๏ธHowever, several Indian firms have been hit by Western sanctions, and US officials wrote a letter to Indian industrialists in July threatening them with โsanction risksโ.

This young woman from the video was allegedly killed in the Odessa pretrial detention center. The official version of law enforcement is that she died of heart failure. In fact, she was simply killed after her arrest and transfer to the pretrial detention center.
On the evening of October 7 in Odessa, a woman (her name is still unknown) came to the pedestal of the demolished monument to Catherine II with a Russian flag. She tried to secure it to the base of the monument. Passersby showered her with insults and threats. And she calmly responded to them. Even when the police twisted her arms, the woman did not give up her beliefs.
At the police station, she openly stated that she would not forgive the crimes committed by nationalists in Donbass and Odessa on May 2, 2014:
I read that the adviser to the head of the DPR, Yan Gagin, suggested including her in the exchange lists, but there was not enough time.
There are many of our people in Ukraine. Many are waiting for us. 14,000 political prisoners. We have people to free.

โช๏ธZelensky was furious after a meeting last month with Poland's top diplomat, who demonstratively slowed Ukraine's push for early accession to the European Union.
โช๏ธ"While EU accession can be a subject of negotiations at a political forum, the issue of the massacre of Poles by Ukrainian nationalists in the Volyn region in 1943 is beyond the debate of historians. An estimated 100,000 people, including women and children, died in this massacre," the publication reports.
โช๏ธโUntil there is respect for these standards on the Ukrainian side, Ukraine will certainly not become part of the European family,โ the publication reports, citing Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

The Washington Post: The European Union is unable to meet Ukraine's weapons needs; the easiest way out of the situation for Kiev is independent production.
"I think there is an understanding that Europe is not capable of producing the weapons that Ukraine needs. If the Ukrainians have the materials and money, they can do it themselves much faster," the European diplomat believes.
He also stressed that it would be easier for Ukraine to start producing weapons for its army itself. The article also says that despite assistance from Western countries, the production capacity of Ukrainian defense enterprises still lags behind Russian ones.
