🇹🇷🇸🇪🇫🇮In Turkish Diplomacy news, Ankara is not yet done with demands, it seems.

As per Erdogan, the Turkey parliament will not consider approval for NATO membership from Swedish & Finnish if they do not fulfill their demands to extradite Swedish & Finnish nationals of Kurdish extraction they accuse of terrorism.

That would mean a revision of their legal codes to allow for such extradition, and of course, debate on whether those people are actually terrorists or just opponents of Mr. Erdogan, debates which will roil Swedish politics for a long time to come if they abase themselves to do this.

Fresh footage from military reporter Andrey Filatov. The main battle tank T-72B of the 9th regiment of the DPR suppresses the firing positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the forest-steppe zone using 125-mm high-explosive fragmentation shells. Fire work is also carried out on Ukrainian positions on a number of dominant heights on the outskirts of New York (Donetsk Region).

In this direction, the allied forces are preparing a large-scale operation to oust Ukrainian formations from the network of fortified areas on the western approaches to Donetsk.

Translated from a very respectful source:

I myself have not been to the liberated territories of the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, and therefore I draw conclusions from the words of friends and publications in the TG. So, I sincerely applaud the speed at which these territories are being integrated into the Russian legal and economic field. This is not just important, but paramount work, and with all my heart I wish good luck to those who are engaged in this truly difficult and dangerous work.

It is necessary to win not only with cannons, it is equally important to make sure that the liberated lands quickly, reliably and in the shortest possible time truly return to their native harbour.

Vladimir Putin to the participants of the forum of regions of Russia and Belarus: Unprecedented political and sanctions pressure from the so-called "collective West" is pushing us to speed up the unification processes. After all, together it is easier to minimize the damage from illegal sanctions, it is easier to master the production of products in demand, develop new competencies and expand cooperation with friendly countries.

Vladimir Putin: Some states are not ready to put up with the loss of dominance on the world stage, they are striving to preserve the unfair unipolar model. Under the guise of the so-called rule-based order and other dubious concepts, they are trying to control and direct global processes at their own discretion, they are pursuing a course towards creating closed blocs and coalitions that make decisions that are beneficial only to one country - the United States of America. The natural rights of other participants in international relations are ignored, and the fundamental principle of the indivisibility of security is interpreted selectively.

Those countries that preach their exclusivity, and in their domestic policy step over the law, cross out such concepts as the inviolability of property, freedom of speech. The dominance of one country on the world stage is not only unproductive, but also dangerous and inevitably gives rise to large-scale, systemic risks.

‘I’d just come for the son´s body. But when I realised there’s pain, sorrow and grief everywhere here... I knew I had to do something for people.’ Oksana Pestereva lost her son, who fought for the People’s Militia of LPR. After his death, she didn’t give up and became a volunteer.

People's stories

‘I’d never cried in my life before. But I can’t help myself now.’ Residents of Luhansk say it’s too hard for them to remember the last eight years of Ukrainian shelling. At the same time, they will never be able to forget it.

German journalists are no longer shy in their words: "Nothing could have happened better for NATO than the war in Ukraine." Amazing directness!

After the collapse of the USSR, the question of whether the existence of NATO was justified arose so often that the enormous influence of the United States on European politics was under threat - after all, why do American soldiers need to be present on the continent if there is no enemy anymore? This question was asked by the Europeans themselves. Everyone has already forgotten, but in 2008 it was Sarkozy and Merkel who were against the entry of Ukraine and Georgia into the bloc.

As we can see, Washington has done everything to subdue the Europeans, convincing them of the existence of the "Russian threat": at the summit in Madrid, the allies announced about the upcoming increase in the American contingent in Europe.

I would like to hear how European parents explain to their children why foreign soldiers are marching on their land - what kind of independence can we talk about at all?

🇿🇦🇷🇺 “We are here in South Africa for the first time came across with white people who treated us as equals. These are Russians. They are our friends.

My friend's enemy is my enemy. We are on the side of Russia.

And the Ukrainians, you know, they sold out to the West."

Pentagon FAILS yet another hypersonic weapons test after an 'anomaly' occurred during flight that was supposed to reach speeds of Mach 5: Russia and China both have successful hypersonic programs

- Pentagon says a problem occurred following missile ignition
- China, Russia and North Korea are all pressing ahead with hypersonic programs
- Trial marked the second unsuccessful test flight of the prototype weapon
- A booster failure occurred in its first flight test in October, which prevented the missile from leaving the launch pad
- Hypersonic weapons are capable of flight at speeds five times the speed of sound, and can maneuver mid-flight, which makes tracking them difficult

The failure is another setback for the US as the military race to develop and field hypersonic weapons, while programs in China and Russia appear to be forging ahead.

Even North Korea appears to be moving forward with developing systems designed to evade being intercepted by flying at more than five times the speed of sound.

Johnson has two things in common with Putin that serve the Russian president's strategic aims far more than his support for Ukraine threatens them.
Ukrainians are dying for the right to join the European Union -- an international body Johnson fought to leave, and that Putin's worked hard to undermine.
"The price of backing down, the price of allowing Putin to succeed, to hack off huge parts of Ukraine, to continue with his program of conquest, that price will be far, far higher. Everybody here understands that," Johnson said in an interview on the sidelines of the G7 summit.
Ukrainians, he said, are facing real pressures, they're having to source energy from elsewhere, but they're doing it and making the effort and making the sacrifice. That's because they see that the "price for the freedom is worth paying," he added.

For years Johnson, the disheveled political magus, was the golden boy of Britain's Conservative Party. A favorite of comedy shows; the faux bumbling of Johnson delivered Brexit and a landslide general election win.
According to his sister, Rachel, a young Johnson said he wanted to be "world king." As an adult he's had to settle his ambitions at being Britain's head of government. And he stopped at very little to achieve that aim.
But in June Johnson's political crown slipped over face when his Conservative party was wiped out in two by-elections.

The same ⬆️ very characteristic material in a video format.

In a good connection with the two posts above ⬆️
Attention. Translated from Ukrainian channel:

There have long been rumours on the sidelines that British Prime Minister Johnson is the main beneficiary of the Ukrainian crisis, on whose continuation his political career depends.
Johnson's Churchill complex is manifested in the fact that he wants to appear, and not be what he pretends to be.

Can't say more or better‼️👍

MOSCOW, July 1 - RIA Novosti. Most of the servicemen involved by Kyiv in the exchange were tortured in captivity, the Russian Investigative Committee said.
"After the exchange on June 29, 2022, it was established that 95% of the military were tortured by the participants of the VFU, including by using electric current, beating," the Russian MOD stated.
The UK added that many prisoners will have to undergo treatment for complications caused by gunshot wounds and fractures.
Russian investigators will conduct their own checks.
The exchange of prisoners of war according to the formula 144 for 144 took place on June 29 on the direct orders of Vladimir Putin in order to save the life and health of the Russian military, fighters of the DPR and LPR.

Poland from July 1 stopped programs for the payment of benefits to most Ukrainian refugees.

Good old classics 🤣😂😆 However, now decision time is not 12 hours, but 12 minutes (at best)🤯😱
