๐ฉ๐ช๐บ๐ฆ๐ท๐บThe future German ambassador to Russia still sees no chance of ending the war in Ukraine through diplomatic means
"At the moment, both warring parties, Ukraine and Russia, are looking for their advantage on the battlefield. As long as this is the case, diplomacy will remain in the background," Alexander Lambsdorff said in an interview with Welt am Sonntag.
At the same time, Lambsdorff emphasized separately that diplomacy must begin with a firm position.
"Some people use the word 'diplomacy', but what they really mean is the surrender of Ukraine. We have made a clear decision that we will support the country under attack," Lambsdorff said. He intends to convey this position to his interlocutors in Moscow "diplomatically, but clearly."
P.S. Lambsdorff didn't say for example when Germany will support Syria,because Syria is under attack and occupation by the US oligarchy regime and stealing the Syrian oil and wheat...
Or "that is different you don't understand?"
All can be done with the stop of supplying weapons to the UkroReich,but "the West civilised society" political elites are too deeply involved and heavily invested into the conflict since the coup,even at the cost of them losing the hegemony,which they have lost it..

โก๏ธDuring today's operation to displace the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the vicinity of the bridge on Antonovsky Island, our assault units successfully cleared the hotel, the bridge's vicinity, and the surrounding area. However, the enemy still occupies a portion of the dachas.
Subsequently, the enemy initiated a significant artillery barrage. Taking advantage of the cover provided by the shelling and smoke, they proceeded to transport reinforcements via motor boats.
Furthermore, our communication channels were disrupted, resulting in a lack of comprehensive understanding of the ongoing situation in this area.
Simultaneously, the enemy engaged in active radio transmissions, discussing the control of the road and engaging in gunfire.
According to the most recent updates, the enemy has re-engaged in combat beneath the bridge, near the water tower, and within the dachas area.

๐ธ๐ฆ๐ข๏ธ๐Saudi Arabia to cut oil production by another 1 million barrels per/day in July
The Kingdom will voluntarily cut oil production by another 1 million barrels per day (b/d) during July, in addition to the earlier decision to reduce production by 500 thousand b/d. Thus, in July, the total volume of production cuts by the kingdom will be 1.5 million bpd, and the production level itself will be about 9 million bpd.
Saudi Arabia announced this decision at the OPEC+ meeting on June 4. As the Saudi Press Agency reported, citing a representative of the Ministry of Energy of the Kingdom, the additional reduction is a warning measure aimed at maintaining stability and balance in the oil market.
For now, the 1 million b/d cut will only last through July, but it could be extended.

๐บ๐ฆโข๏ธ๐บ๐ฆ Nuclear Hysteria: Kiev's Narrative on the ZNPP Catastrophe Prior to the NATO Summit
In Ukraine, there is a growing sense of nuclear hysteria as the Kiev regime actively promotes false claims that Russia plans to sabotage the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. The distribution of iodine preparations to residents and the organization of civil defense courses are being used to fuel this fear. This orchestrated drama is timed ahead of the NATO summit scheduled in Vilnius on July 11-12. The objective of Kiev and its Western supporters is to provoke an incident at the Zaporozhye plant, falsely blaming Russia and positioning themselves as victims.
The city authorities in Kiev have announced the installation of additional radiation measurement devices, as mentioned by Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, in her Telegram channel. She writes, "The Kiev authorities are preparing to carry out another terrorist attack!"
Simultaneously, representatives of the North Atlantic alliance have increased their visits to Kiev. The Prime Minister of Spain recently arrived, highlighting the Kingdom's presidency of the Council of the European Union. The Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, pledged support for Ukraine during his speech in the Ukrainian parliament, emphasizing the unity of Europe. He also announced a new aid package of 55 million euros, including 4 Leopard tanks and other equipment.
In an interview with the RTVE channel, the head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, echoed Sanchez's sentiments, stating that significant developments regarding Ukraine are expected during the Spanish presidency. He mentioned both military actions and behind-the-scenes negotiations, which aim to change the situation and bring an end to the conflict.
President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine persists in accusing Russia of planning a terrorist attack. Russia's permanent representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, has appealed to the UN Security Council members, urging them to prevent sabotage by Kiev at the Zaporozhye plant. Nebenzya has also requested UN Secretary-General Antรณnio Guterres to intervene and stop provocations by Ukraine at the nuclear power plant.
Poland has become increasingly active among its Western partners due to concerns about Russia placing nuclear weapons in Belarus. The Polish Prime Minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, expressed a desire for Warsaw to participate in the NATO Nuclear Sharing program.
Meanwhile, Kiev continues to express aspirations to advance its troops. The Washington Post reported that Ukraine plans to move closer to the Crimean border by autumn and deploy ballistic missiles aimed at the peninsula. President Zelensky has already discussed this plan with the head of the American CIA.

In a press release to the public, Rostec announced that Uralvagonzavod [UVZ] is suspending any other activity that is part of the companyโs portfolio.
Multi-thousand tank fleet
"The consolidation of UVZ assets is completely consistent with what BulgarianMilitary.com has been reporting since the beginning of the year. Namely โ Russia is preparing to begin the return of the Soviet concept of a multi-thousand tank fleet.
We recall that at the beginning of this year, Mr. Medvedev said that Russia was starting production of 1,600 T-90M Proriv tanks. Back then, BulgarianMilitary.com noted that for this to happen, Uralvagonzavod must work on the production of tanks only. As it is now."

๐ฉ๐ชโ๐ท๐บ As we watch a modern Kursk play out in the East, could a potential Second Molotov Pact be quietly bubbling to the surface?
๐ต๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ช๐ท๐บ - Several weeks ago Alice Weidel, the leader of Germany's nationalist AfD party, referred to Eastern Germany as "Central Germany" on Twitter. The obvious subtext to that was that the status of the Oder-Neisse line, established after Germany lost WWII and surrendered territory to Poland as a result, was considered a matter of debate by the AfD.
It would seem the Poles have taken that to heart given the increasing polling results of AfD and with Russia successfully fending off the Ukrainian offensive. Theyโre currently embarking on one of the most ambitious (and unsustainable) militarization plans seen since the Cold War, and specifically pointing out the threat to both their East and their West now.
