Officially, 56,017 refugees and migrants died or went missing between 2014 and 2023 in and around the Mediterranean.

The real numbers could be 10 times higher.

The end of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra: in the morning those buildings where the monks still remained were captured

On the morning of July 6, the policemen of the Kiev regime broke down the locks and seized the buildings of the Lavra, in which the monks of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church still remained.

Believers who came to protect the shrine are dispersed, even the “yellow-blue” flag does not save. Recall that earlier Belarus declared its readiness to host the expelled monks of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra.

The question remains open with the relics of Orthodox saints stored in caves under the monastery. The Kiev regime has repeatedly stated that they must be removed.

The Kiev regime intends to take the Christian values of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra (including the holy relics) to Europe, the Ukrainian authorities have already reached an agreement with UNESCO.

This is stated in a statement by the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) of Russia, Sergei Naryshkin.

“According to the SVR, an agreement was reached between the Kiev authorities and representatives of UNESCO on the removal of Christian valuables, including holy relics, from the territory of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, and their subsequent transfer to the museums of Italy, France, Germany and the Vatican under the pretext of “rescuing from Russian missile strikes“, the SVR press office said in a statement.

An inventory of church property has already been made, funds have been allocated for the transportation of goods to Europe, and specialized vehicles equipped with refrigeration units have been prepared.

For Russia, the defence of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra has a deep spiritual dimension, which means that the determination to bring the NMD to the end becomes only stronger under the current conditions, stressed in the Foreign Intelligence Service.

The timing of the start of the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was delayed due to the delay in the supply of Western weapons, — Zelensky

“I am grateful to the United States as the leader of our support, however, I told them, as well as the heads of European states, that we would like to launch a counteroffensive earlier, and for this we need weapons and other materials ... The Russian army had more time to mine vast territories and create defensive lines," he said.

Russia expels nine Finnish diplomats and closes consulate general in St. Petersburg

The Russian Foreign Ministry said: "A strong protest has been made to the head of the Finnish diplomatic mission in connection with the confrontational anti-Russian policy pursued by the Finnish authorities."

It was noted that the currently discussed parameters of Finland's entry into NATO pose a threat to the security of the Russian Federation, and encouraging the Kyiv regime to go to war and pumping it with Western weapons means clearly hostile actions against our country. This line of the Finnish authorities cannot remain unanswered.

In connection with the expulsion last month from Finland of nine representatives of Russian foreign missions, nine employees of the Finnish Embassy in the Russian Federation and the Finnish Consulate General in St. Petersburg were declared “persona non grata” in that country.

As part of the response to the confrontational actions of the Finnish authorities, the Russian side decided to withdraw from October 1 its consent to the activities of the Consulate General of Finland in St. Petersburg.

TV presenter: After becoming president, what will you do with China, which is currently negotiating with Havana to open a military training base in Cuba?

Democratic Presidential candidate Marianne Williamson: Do you know how many of our military bases are located around China? Three hundred and thirteen. It's time for Americans to wake up. The real world is different. We have about 750 active military bases in 80 countries. And now they say to us: "As you are with us, so are we with you." That's how it is now. And that's what China is trying to tell us. I personally would not like to see Chinese bases in Cuba, but I understand it well... and I think Anthony Blinken and President Biden also understand it well… That the days when we could order everyone around are over."

It seems that this woman will not be allowed before the elections. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Another exchange of prisoners of war

Today, representatives of Russia and Ukraine carried out another exchange of prisoners of war in the border area, this time according to the formula "45 to 45".

The Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation reported that all the released were provided with the necessary medical and psychological assistance, and later they would be delivered to the medical institutions of the department.

Ukraine was issued 41 privates and sergeants, two officers, one employee of the "Territorial Defence" and a certain employee of "Azovstal". Most of them surrendered last spring in Mariupol, as well as in the Kharkov, Bakhmut and Zaporozhye directions.

The previous exchange took place almost a month ago, on June 11: then 94 Russian servicemen returned to their homeland, and 95 members of Ukrainian formations departed in the opposite direction.

Now you can take a breath. Two-day operation to evacuate captured Storm Shadow successfully completed — Rogozin

The missile has just been handed over to one of our defence enterprises, whose specialists will "decipher" the control system algorithms of this dangerous missile weapon and share them with air defence experts.

I thank the fighters of the BARS-11 volunteer detachment and the command of the "Tsar's Wolves" unit in the Zaporozhye region, personally Colonel Artur Batsev (call sign "Pyton") for their courage. Our guys had to get the Storm Shadow materiel from the "grey zone" of the line of contact under shelling. The enemy tried to prevent us from capturing such a trophy and delivering it to the "mainland" by sending his reconnaissance group to intercept, but the guys coped with the task and just reported to me the result. Well done!

I hope that the "trepanation" of the control system of this missile will allow specialists of the Russian military-industrial complex to quickly find an antidote for our air defence and pacify the British-French storm.

Good hunting and an excellent trophy for the "Tsar's Wolves"!

On US involvement in the Ukrainian conflict

In connection with the numerous facts of the direct participation of US citizens, including retired and active military personnel, in hostilities as part of formations subordinate to the regime in Kiev, on September 15, 2022 and February 21, 2023, demarches were made to the US Embassy in Moscow with the transfer of notes of protest.

Translated from Russian Foreign Affairs Ministry:
05.07.2023 18:11
(Why the fuck they haven't translated it themselves and posted on every lamppost? Fuck knows what those Russians are doing. May be they want to keep it secret and to start WW3? So why I have to do it?)

The Russian side stated that the weapons supplied to the Ukrainian authorities and the personnel serving them are considered as legitimate targets to be destroyed. It was also emphasized that in order to avoid negative consequences, the United States should take real steps to immediately withdraw its military personnel, stop supplying weapons and providing real-time coordinates to units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to strike at the locations of the Russian Armed Forces, as well as civilians.

It has been made very clear to the American side that such actions, complicit in massive war crimes committed by Ukrainian forces, are supported by objective evidence that refutes the standard arrogant explanations at the official level. In a note from the US Embassy in Moscow dated March 6, 2023, in particular, the constantly replicated thesis is reproduced that “the United States does not use military force against Russia, does not use weapons against Russian forces, does not lead or control Ukrainian forces, and does not engage in military clashes with Russian forces. All American personnel stationed in Ukraine provide for the operation of the US Embassy in Kiev.”

Based on the array of data at the disposal of the Russian side and in the public domain, we can conclude that the United States is purposeful in unleashing a war "by proxy" and American participation as a de facto party to the conflict in order to solve the key task of inflicting a "strategic defeat" on Russia. As part of this “division of labor”, the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev regularly supplies “cannon fodder” in exchange for unprecedented financial injections, some of which end up in the pockets of V. Zelensky and his entourage, the supply of military equipment and weapons, including high-tech ones (instead of the destroyed arsenals and the disabled Ukrainian military-industrial complex itself), the transfer by the Pentagon and NATO structures of the entire spectrum of intelligence, direct command and planning of the operations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine by NATO.

US officials, while denying, despite the obvious, that the US military is involved in hostilities, make no secret of their intentions to “support Ukraine for as long as it takes.” At the same time, the “clients” are set up to fight “until the last Ukrainian”, and in the public space, representatives of the George Biden administration justify strikes on Russian territory.

In particular, U.S. Senior Deputy Secretary of State Walter Nuland, speaking at the Carnegie Endowment on February 16, 2023, emphasized that “in the occupied Crimea” there are large objects of the Russian Armed Forces, which, they say, are “legitimate purposes”. They are defeated, and "we support it." In turn, Assistant to the President of the United States for National Security J. Sullivan, in an interview with CNN on May 12, 2023, stated that "the United States did not impose restrictions on the use of American weapons by Ukraine to strike at Crimea."

In order to increase military supplies to the regime in Kiev in the conditions of high intensity of hostilities and coordination with the allies in terms of transferred weapons, a new structure was formed in the Pentagon — the Joint Production Acceleration Cell (JPAC).
Please read continuation ⬇️⬇️⬇️

In general, since February 24, 2022, the Biden administration has provided Kiev with military-technical assistance in the amount of more than $40 billion. To date, 31 M1A1 Abrams tanks and 45 T-72B tanks have been transferred or are planned to be delivered , 20 Mi-17 helicopters, a Patriot anti-aircraft missile battery and guided missiles for it, 8 NASAMS anti-aircraft missile systems and guided missiles for them; 38 Hymars multiple launch rocket systems, 650 armored personnel carriers and many other types of weapons and military equipment (AME), including M-777 howitzers, unmanned aerial vehicles, anti-ship weapons, artillery shells, etc.

The US administration is considering requests from Kiev for the supply of F-16 tactical fighters, MQ-1C Gray Eagle and MQ-9A Reaper multi-purpose UAVs, as well as Atakms tactical missiles (launch range up to 300 km), capable of hitting objects in the depths of Russian territory.

Since the beginning of the NMD, American instructors have trained 13,600 military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (training is carried out in Germany at the Grafenwehr and Hohenfelz training centers of the US Armed Forces). Tactical, tactical-combat, tactical-special exercises and exercises are carried out, as well as driving and combat shooting. Particular attention is paid to the training of artillery crews (MLRS M142 "Haymars", self-propelled howitzers M109, towed howitzers M777 and M119), crews of armored combat vehicles (BMP "Bradley", BRT M113 and "Stryker"). In the summer of this year at the training ground of American land military troops "Grafenwehr" will begin training of Ukrainian crews of M1A1 "Abrams" tanks, which will last 2.5 months.

In 2022, the pace of American military deliveries averaged about $630 million each every nine to ten days. This year, deliveries follow every 11-12 days, each for an average of about $1.3 billion.

In order to coordinate military assistance to Ukraine and involve the maximum number of countries in this activity, in April 2022, Washington created the Contact Group on Military Assistance to Ukraine (Ukraine Defense Contact Group). Its meetings, as a rule, are held at the Ramstein Air Base (Germany) or via videoconference at least once a month under the leadership of US Secretary of Defense JI. Austin.

In addition, in November 2022, the US Department of Defense formed a new headquarters structure as part of the command of the US Armed Forces in Europe (Wiesbaden, Germany) — the Security Assistance Group for Ukraine in the field of security / CSO (Security Assistance Group — Ukraine, SAG-U). Its staff strength is 300 officers of the US Armed Forces. Main tasks: organizing the supply of Western weapons to the Kyiv regime and training the military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at American training grounds and the territory of European partners, exchanging intelligence with the military leadership of Ukraine. American officers process and transmit in real time information about the movement of Russian troops received with the help of Western surveillance technology. In parallel with the GSU, a separate unit was created responsible for conducting special operations, including the organization of underground and sabotage work.

To provide the armed forces of Ukraine with information about the composition of the groupings of the Russian Armed Forces, Washington and its allies are actively using space and aerial reconnaissance. The orbital constellation includes about 450 satellites, most of which are commercial Earth remote sensing and radio monitoring devices. They provide a high frequency of observation of given areas of the terrain, accurate identification of reconnaissance objects, as well as interception of messages in radio channels. In the interests of detailed strike planning, based on intelligence data from the United States and its allies, three-dimensional digital models of targets and the surrounding area are being compiled and refined, and optimal UAV missile flight routes are being worked out to bypass Russian air defense zones.

Along with space systems, reconnaissance aircraft and UAVs are intensively used to monitor the situation, making daily sorties from air bases in the UK, Germany, Greece, Italy, Romania and Turkey. On the basis of the data received by space and aviation means, the headquarters of the US Armed Forces in the European zone and the NATO Allied Forces carry out a comprehensive analysis of the actions of Russian troops and the development of the situation in the NMD zone. The transmission of the processed data of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is carried out via available telecommunication lines (satellite, radio relay, cellular, fiber optic and the Internet). An important role is given to the American commercial satellite communications system Starlink.

Back in March 2022, at a hearing in the US Congress, the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), Lieutenant General S. Berrier, described the exchange of information and intelligence between Washington and Kiev as "unprecedented." In turn, the head of the National Security Directorate — Commander of the Cyber Command of the US Armed Forces, General P. Nakasone, during the aforementioned hearings, said that "during the period of his entire service, he has never seen a better exchange of accurate, timely and objective intelligence", emphasizing that the Pentagon provides the Armed Forces with "the most up-to-date information."

On April 22, 2022, the electronic version of the NBC information channel published the article “US intelligence helped Ukraine protect air defense and shoot down a Russian plane.” With reference to official sources, it was alleged that on the eve of the “Russian invasion”, the United States provided the Armed Forces of Ukraine with detailed information about the missile and bomb strikes being prepared by the Russian Armed Forces. This allegedly contributed to the timely redeployment of Ukrainian air defense and aviation assets. It was noted that the real-time exchange of intelligence information carried out in the early days of the NMD allowed Ukraine to "shoot down a Russian transport aircraft with hundreds of Russian military personnel and prevent the capture of an airport near Kiev."

On May 11, 2022, The Washington Post published an editorial titled “Intelligence Sharing with Ukraine to Prevent a Larger War,” which emphasized that “information about the location and movement of Russian troops is received by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in real time and includes satellite images and reports confidential sources in the US."

On September 8, 2022, CIA Director W. Burns publicly confirmed that the operational information of American intelligence concerning the NVO was purposefully declassified by the American side in order to make public "Russia's actions and plans in Ukraine."

September 13, 2022 New York Times published information about the direct participation in the planning of military operations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the eastern direction of Assistant to the President for National Security J. Sullivan, Chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff / OKNSh of the US Armed Forces General M. Milley, US military attache in Kiev Brigadier General G. Harmon and now retired US Deputy Secretary of Defense K. Kala.

On September 24, 2022, the Politnavigator Internet resource distributed material according to which the Beregini hacker group published documents confirming the receipt of information by the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the DIA about targets for rocket and artillery strikes on military and civilian facilities in the Lugansk and Donetsk People's Republics and liberated regions of Ukraine, the movement of Russian troops, as well as information about the "vulnerabilities" of the groups of the Russian Armed Forces.
