The economic consequences of the war in the Gaza Strip for Israel will amount to at least $53 billion, the bulk of which is defense spending.

According to Israel's Ministry of Finance, each day of fighting costs the economy nearly $270 million.

Via Boris "Colonel Cassad" Rozhin:

The Armed Forces of Ukraine organized a crematorium at the bone burning plant in Konstantinovka (DPR) due to large losses

According to the Military Chronicle, the bodies of killed Ukrainian soldiers are brought to this facility from several directions - the flanks of Artyomovsk, Soledar, as well as from near Avdeevka, 40 km to the south.

In the spring of this year, for the uninterrupted operation of the bone burning plant, industrial refrigerators for storing corpses, as well as powerful multi-fuel generators, were installed in a separate building. To supply the plant, a train with fuel arrives at the Kondratievka railway station, 5 km to the north-west, every 10-14 days.

In order not to cause panic among the local population, the bodies of killed Ukrainian soldiers are transported to the plant in ordinary trucks without the “Cargo 200” markings.

Due to the uninterrupted operation and, presumably, the lack of working industrial filters in the plant's furnaces, there is a strong smell of burnt bodies in the area.

Listen, Slavs. The Russian tsar began his word.

Putin began his speech at the World Russian People's Council with a moment of silence: I know that many representatives of the World Russian People's Council are now in Donbas and Novorossiya among volunteers and volunteers, in the ranks of military units, together with their comrades-in-arms defending our brothers and sisters, the millions of people in the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, in the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. I am sincerely grateful to the participants of the World Russian People's Cathedral for the help you are providing to the front, to the families of our fallen heroes. They fought for us, for our Motherland. Eternal memory to them.

@Slavyangrad

Putin declared a minute of silence at the World Russian Cathedral in memory of the fighters who died in the SMO

He also made a number of statements:

- Russia's battle for sovereignty and justice has a national liberation character

- Modern Russia regains and strengthens its sovereignty as a world power

- Without Russians as an ethnos, there is and cannot be Russia and the Russian world

- Without a strong Russia, a strong world order is impossible

- It is the Russian world that has blocked the way of those who have declared themselves exceptional, but the dictatorship of the hegemon is getting decrepit

- Russians are more than a nationality, they are also a cultural and historical identity

- Being Russian is first and foremost a responsibility for the preservation of Russia

- The West does not need a big Russia

- Russia is now at the forefront of the formation of a more just world order

@Slavyangrad

"The dictatorship of one hegemon is decrepit, it has gone to pieces and is simply dangerous to those around it.
We are fighting for the freedom not only of Russia, but also of the whole world."
- Putin

@Slavyangrad

"They have started the old rant - they say that Russia is a "prison of nations" and Russians are a "nation of slaves".
In reality, they want to dismember Russia and plunder it" - Putin

@Slavyangrad

The Russian world is ancient Russia, the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and modern Russia - Putin

@Slavyangrad

Putin: Our battle for sovereignty and justice is, without any exaggeration, of a national liberation nature. Because we are defending the security and well-being of our people, the supreme, historical right to be Russia - a strong, independent power, a country of civilization. It is our country, the Russian world, as it has happened many times in history, has blocked the way of those who claim today for world domination, for their exclusivity. We are fighting now for the freedom not only of Russia, but of the whole world. We openly say that the dictatorship of one hegemon - we see it, everyone sees it now - is getting decrepit. It has gone, as they call it, to pieces and is simply dangerous for others. This is already clear to the world majority. But I repeat - it is our country that is now at the forefront of the formation of a more just world order. And I would like to emphasize that no lasting and stable world order is possible without a sovereign, strong Russia.

Having many children should become a norm of life for all peoples of Russia.
We will have to solve the tasks of developing vast areas from the Pacific Ocean to the Baltic and the Black Sea - Putin

@Slavyangrad

This is clearly contrary to Malthusianism. And that's fine. 2 worlds, 2 shapiro

Putin: Today, Russophobia and other forms of racism and neo-Nazism have become practically the official ideology of Western ruling elites. They are directed not only against the Russian, but against all the peoples of Russia. The West in principle does not need such a large and multinational country as Russia.

Our diversity, unity of cultures and traditions, languages, ethnicities simply does not fit into the logic of Western racists and colonizers, in their cruel scheme of total depersonalization, separation, suppression and exploitation. That is why again they started the old chant, saying that Russia is a prison of peoples, and Russians themselves are a nation of slaves. We have heard it many times throughout the centuries. They have also heard that Russia, it turns out, needs to be pre-colonized today. And in fact, what do they need? In fact, they need to dismember and plunder Russia. If they can't do it by force, then they need to sow confusion. I would like to emphasize that we regard any outside interference or provocation to cause inter-ethnic or inter-religious conflicts as aggressive actions against our country.

@Slavyangrad

Serbophobia is a rivulet falling out in a sea of Russophobia.

Putin: Russian is more than a nationality. This has always been the case, by the way, in the history of our country. It is, among other things, a cultural, spiritual, and historical identity. Being Russian is, above all, a responsibility. I repeat: a huge responsibility for the preservation of Russia. This is what true patriotism is all about. And as a Russian, I want to say: only a united, strong, sovereign Russia can guarantee the future and distinctive development of the Russian and all other peoples who have lived and live in our country for centuries, united by the commonality of historical destiny.

@Slavyangrad

A little nuance to the beginning of this meeting.

The President and Patriarch Kirill were greeted with the prayer "Heavenly King".

@Slavyangrad

Russia has become stronger: historical regions have returned to the country, and society is abandoning the superfluous and turning to true values - Putin

@Slavyangrad

It is necessary to remember the lessons of the revolution of 1917 and the civil war that followed, and the collapse of the USSR in 1991. It would seem that so many years have passed, but people of all nationalities living today, even those born in the 21st century, are still paying for the miscalculations made then, even decades later. For falling to separatists illusions and ambitions, for the weakness of the central government, for the policy of artificial forced division of the big Russian nation - the triune Russian people - Russians, Belarusians and Ukrainians. The bloody hotbeds that emerged after the collapse of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union are not only still smoldering, but are flaring up with renewed vigor.
- Putin
