⭐️ #OTD in 1921, legendary Soviet fighter pilot Lidiya Litvyak was born. She went down in history under the call sign «White Lily». According to legend, this flower was painted on her aircraft.
Since childhood, Lidiya had dreamed of conquering the sky. Already at the age of 14, she enrolled in an aeroclub, and at 15, she made her first solo flight. After graduating from the aviation school, the 19-year-old herself prepared cadets for flights.
⚔️ After the start of the Great Patriotic War, Litvyak enrolled in the women’s 586th Fighter Aviation Regiment, where she piloted the Yakovlev Yak-1 fighter.
In September, Lidiya participated in the fierce battles over Stalingrad. Due to her successes in the sky, Litvyak was transferred to the 9th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment, the «regiment of aces». After the successful counter-offensive at Stalingrad in 1943, Lydiya Litvyak was sent to fight in the skies over Donbass.
🕯 On August 1, 1943, during the defence of Donbass, Litvyak engaged in an air battle with several Messerschmitts, which were superior to the Yak-1 in speed and manoeuvrability. The radio operators intercepted alarming reports from the pilots in the sky: «Lily has been shot down!». The crash site of the Litvyak fighter could not be found for decades. At the time of her last combat mission, she was only 21 years old.
The «White Lily» carried out 168 combat sorties and destroyed 16 enemy aircraft (12 solo and four shared victories). She became the most effective female pilot of World War II.

🇷🇺🇺🇳 Permament Mission of the Russian Federation to the UN:
🎙 Statement by Chargé d'Affaires of the Russian Federation Dmitry Polyanskiy at UNSC briefing on the issue of weapon deliveries to Ukraine (August 17, 2023)
Read in full
💬 The complete collapse of the Ukrainian system of military administration, widespread corruption and disorganization repel even Western mercenaries, who begin to realise that the only role assigned to them is not the fight for Ukraine’s freedom, but being ordinary "cannon fodder".
🔹 Due to the all-out corruptness of the Ukrainian army, Western weapons are spreading uncontrollably around the world. Through black markets, they end up in conflict zones, in the Balkans, Africa, and Latin America, directly undermining regional security.
🔹 By emptying the arsenals of its satellites and promising subsidised supplies of Western-made equipment in return, the US authorities are "vacating" the market for the products of the US military-industry to sell them to partners – all according to a well-established pattern that dates back to the post-World War II period. Europe is once again paying for these new weapons not only in money, but also in sovereignty.
🔹 There is no doubt that in its "proxy war" with Russia to the last Ukrainian, the West is purposefully turning Ukraine into an uninhabitable testing site, contaminated with radioactive elements and unexploded ordinance.
🔹 The people of Ukraine begin to realise more and more clearly that the Kiev regime is pushing them down a suicidal path to serve the interests of Western countries.

📰 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview with The International Affairs journal (August 19, 2023)
Read in full
🔹 The ill-conceived policy pursued by the United States and its followers has made the current aggravation of the international situation inevitable despite our many years of attempts to prevent it, which is another manifestation of that degradation. I am referring to the full-scale crisis of European security, the blame for which lies entirely with our former partners.
🔹 Modern Russia sees its mission in maintaining a global balance of interests and building a fairer architecture of international relations. We believe that creating favourable conditions for the peaceful and steady development of humanity on the basis of a unifying agenda should be a universal priority.
🔹 A great danger in the context of the Ukrainian conflict is linked with the fact that the United States and NATO countries, while gearing up for confrontation, run the risk of becoming involved in a direct armed clash between nuclear powers. We think that this course of events can and must be prevented.
🔹 The essential thing we must understand is that the West wants to do away with our country as a serious geopolitical rival. It is for this reason that Washington and Brussels have unleashed a hybrid war against us.
🔹 The West must understand: Russia will use all means to defend its people and its vital interests. It would be better for our opponents to understand that confrontation with Russia is futile and switch to more civilised, i.e., political and diplomatic means for achieving a balance of interests.
🔹 Lecturing other states or dictating to them which partners to choose or avoid is not what we do. Russia does not forbid any of our neighbours or partners from establishing ties with anyone, but always asks them to consider our legitimate interests. I think they hear us.

🇷🇺 🛰 Luna-25 Mission: Unveiling Lunar Mysteries from Orbit
Russia's Luna-25 station has performed several instrument activations with scientists obtaining the first results during its flight along the Moon's orbit, Roscosmos reported.
🌔 One of the key highlights involves the meticulous calibration of the ARIES-L instrument. This device will study the solar wind and the composition of the regolith. Additionally, the PML instrument captured a meteorite collided with the Moon's surface. Initial analysis points to this cosmic intruder being a bolide from the Perseid stream, a challenge Luna-25 successfully braved.
📸 Captivating images have also emerged from the mission. On August 17th, the STS-L landing cameras captured breathtaking visuals. These images showcase the ethereal Zeeman crater, nestled on the Moon's far side.

Yekaterinburg, the capital of the Urals, marks its 300th anniversary
The city was founded on November 18, 1723, by decree of Emperor Peter the Great, but its ‘City Day’ is officially celebrated on the third Saturday of August (August 19 in 2023). The name of the city was given in honor of Empress Catherine I, wife of Peter the Great.
The history of Yekaterinburg began with an ironworks in the center of the city, which operated until 1808. And up until the end of the 19th century, among other things, most of the coins of the Russian Empire were minted in the city. A historical square with several museums now occupies the site of the old workshops.
In Soviet times, Yekaterinburg (which, from 1924-1991, was named Sverdlovsk, after the revolutionary Yakov Sverdlov) became a major industrial center. During the Great Patriotic War, the legendary T-34 tank was produced there and after the war, - quarry excavators and steam-hydraulic presses. Because of this, Yekaterinburg has also become a heavy engineering industry leader.
The architectural appearance of the city is mainly formed by buildings in the style of Soviet constructivism. And, in 1991, the only subway in the Urals was opened there. It connects the ‘Uralmash’ factory district with the historical center and the outskirts.

BRICS: Towards a Just World Order
Key points:
💬 Tectonic shifts are taking place in the world today. <...> We are witnessing the emergence of a more just multipolar world order. New centers of economic growth & of global decision-making on important political issues in Eurasia, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Africa & Latin America are guided primarily by their own interests & assign paramount importance to national sovereignty.
🇷🇺 Russia continues to work towards further democratization of international life, building an architecture of inter-State relations that would be based on the values of equal & indivisible security, and cultural & civilisational diversity, and would provide equal opportunities for development for all members of the international community with no one left behind.
• Russia has consistently stood for strengthening the position of the African continent in a multipolar world order. We will further support our African friends in their aspirations to play an increasingly significant role in resolving the key problems of our time.
• #BRICS is a symbol of true multipolarity and an example of honest inter-State communication. Within its framework, States with different political systems, distinctive value platforms & independent foreign policies effectively cooperate in various spheres.
📈 The population of the BRICS countries is over 40 percent & the area of their territories exceeds a quarter of the world's land. According to experts' forecasts, in 2023 the five countries will account for about 31.5 percent of global GDP (at purchasing power parity), while the share of the G7 has fallen to 30 percent in this indicator.
• It is natural that our grouping has many like-minded countries around the world. BRICS is seen as a positive force that can strengthen the solidarity of the Global South & Global East & become one of the pillars of a new, more just polycentric world order.
