New trophies (FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank systems) of the 6th Cossack regiment of Luhansk Army in Lisichansk.

The area near the UK embassy in Moscow was renamed «the Luhansk People's Republic Square».
Such decision was signed by the mayor of Moscow, Sergei Sobyanin, on 5th of July. The residents of Moscow have chosen such name during an online vote. 🤣😂💤

«The UK’s government, just like the rest of the international community, doesn’t recognize the so-called Lugansk and Donetsk people’s republics. The street renaming affair in Russia is the responsibility of the local authorities. However, it won’t affect the UK governmental position on the illegal invasion of Russia into Ukraine» — the embassy stated. The employees of the embassy ignored the question if the UK embassy will delete their new address, just like the US embassy.

Well, UK just has followed US (as always).
Previously similar decision (see above ⬆️) was taken about the address of the American embassy.

Currently the US Embassy in Moscow is located on the «Donetsk People’s Republic Square, building number 1». American diplomats refused to use the new address and are writing GPS coordinates instead.
However, the "Russian Post Service" will deliver correspondence only if a proper address is clearly stated.

Norway let the blocked containers go to Svalbard after Moscow, at the level of State Duma chairman, threatened to denounce the agreement on the delimitation of maritime spaces and cooperation between Russia and Norway in the Arctic Ocean and the Barents Sea.

There is a huge difference between Norway and Lithuania or Ukraine. Created after the collapse of the USSR, they demonstrate a complete inability to make independent decisions and fully comply with the overseas masters' playbook.

‘I'm so upset today that everything we've done, everything we've fought for, and the boys who died for it, it's all going to waste.’ 100-year-old World War II veteran Karl Spurley Dekel talks about today's America.❤️

Lavrov - when asked about Western media reports that "the Russian army in Ukraine is shelling its own cities to disrupt Western arms deliveries": "Well, in short - they lie! And the facts are well known, they are presented by our Ministry of Defence on a daily basis. But Western countries should of course be aware of their responsibility. Regardless of what and how Zelensky and his team interpret it, the West must be aware of its responsibility for the deaths of civilians, primarily in Donbass, but also in other parts of Ukraine, where the Kiev regime uses these weapons against civilians as a means of terror in the first place. This is state terror!"

Perhaps many of you have seen this video, but perhaps not. Maybe you've just heard of this "their kids will sit in the basements" threat made by former president of Ukraine Poroshenko. But just as a memory refresher, I thought I'd subtitle this clip I had set aside.

In the fall of 2014 President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko was giving a speech addressed to the security forces in Odessa. From the speech it became clear that Kiev intended to fight against the inhabitants of the DPR and LPR to the bitter end. They just didn't expect this bitter end will be for them, not for Donbass.

Briefly about Lisichansk: the AFU turned the city into a real fortress, Mariupol was not even close to such defensive preparation.

The point is not that Lisichansk is on a hill from where it was possible to shoot the advancing troops, but what the AFU had done.

All approaches to the city were thoroughly mined, and not just scattered mines on roads and roadsides, but with tunnels under roads and minefields in the greenery. All major intersections were blocked by barriers. Trenches were dug all over Lisichansk, and with shelters and tunnels, and this is a colossal work.

And what is the result? They abandoned everything and fled at the first sign of encirclement.

And this says a lot about the combat capability of the AFU and the nationalists. Mariupol, apparently, broke them — no one now wants to be in a cauldron or a siege. Moreover, the leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which until recently denied the obvious, could not prevent the desertion of entire battalions

Biden put a medal on the back of an official...😢

Activist fears were fuelled when Russia’s energy minister, Nikolai Shulginov, said the EU’s green taxonomy offered “a range of opportunities”. Speaking to the Energy Intelligence website before his country’s invasion of Ukraine, he said the inclusion of natural gas in the green taxonomy was evidence that the EU had realised it had made “a slight mistake” on the green transition.

Since the invasion, the EU executive has set out plans to phase out Russian gas, but member states have not fixed a deadline to stop gas imports, unlike Russian oil and coal.

Don't worry, none of the fighters were hurt in the video 😉👍

Now they are afraid of China

MI5 head Ken McCallum said his service had more than doubled its work against Chinese activity in the last three years and would be doubling it again.

MI5 is now running seven times as many investigations related to activities of the Chinese Communist Party compared to 2018, he added.

The FBI's Wray warned that if China was to forcibly take Taiwan it would "represent one of the most horrific business disruptions the world has ever seen".

The first ever joint public appearance by the two directors came at MI5 headquarters in Thames House, London.

McCallum also said the challenge posed by the Chinese Communist Party was "game-changing", while Wray called it "immense" and "breath-taking".

Wray warned the audience - which included chief executives of businesses and senior figures from universities - that the Chinese government was "set on stealing your technology" using a range of tools.

He said it posed "an even more serious threat to western businesses than even many sophisticated businesspeople realised". He cited cases in which people linked to Chinese companies out in rural America had been digging up genetically modified seeds which would have cost them billions of dollars and nearly a decade to develop themselves.

He also said China deployed cyber espionage to "cheat and steal on a massive scale", with a hacking programme larger than that of every other major country combined.

British Industry Minister Lee Rowley and four other members of the government have resigned and in a joint letter called on British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to step down.

Servicemen of Russian group "O" destroyed the Czech self-propelled howitzer "Dana-M2" with a precise artillery strike near Seversk.

Newly appointed (by BoJo) British Chancellor of the Exchequer Nadeem Zahavi called on Boris Johnson to resign. That, probably was his way to say "thank you for trusting me!"

"inside the bunker they are saying it's over" - Johnson's former chief adviser Daminic Cummings can't contain his joy!

#TransFormatorBuzzes :
Well, we do not have any illusions, that the new Prime Minister (and Foreign Secretary, hopefully) would change their stance towards Russia or would make any significant changes in the British foreign policy at all.

However, Liz Truss has personally very poor relationships with Sergei Lavrov after her visit to Moscow, and BoJo himself has something intimate in his attempts to compete (and fail every time) with Vladimir Putin.

The most recent was his disgusting attempt to measure whose p... is bigger ('We've got to show them our pecs!") at G7 summit. Previously there was a competition, in which country the COVID19 jab would be rolled out first. I remember, in UK it was Monday, but in Moscow it officially started on Friday... (though later, due to a higher level of discipline, British population has finished it en mass much faster). That bizarre competition, probably started even long before that - there was a speech by Putin about "democracy not working" (in context of modern Western states), which was instantaneously responded by BoJo...

At least we want to believe, that to the new leadership of the UK personal attitude and previously made mistakes would not completely prevail over common sense for which the British nation is renown. We hope, that if not blinded by Russophobia and hatred, they would be able to build more constructive relationships with Russia and the whole world. May be we are still naïve...

But not only we, as in Ukrainian channels there is also fear that "a major political crisis is brewing in Britain, which could also threaten global support for Ukraine on the international arena."

Well, that may be not the most burning issue in the modern world. However, it is very indicative in the demonstration of the attitude of the British (and US) officials to the international relationships and their own place and ability to cooperate. We have already written about the changes in the addresses of the British and American embassies in Moscow. Here is the continuation of the story:

MOSCOW, July 7 - RIA Novosti. The British embassy in Russia told RIA Novosti that it would not use the new address on Luhansk People's Republic Square and considered the old one on Smolenskaya Embankment to be relevant.
Recently the Capital's Department of City property reported that the embassy of the United Kingdom received a new address: Luhansk People's Republic Square, building 1. This information was entered into the address register of Moscow and the Federal Information Address System.

As follows from the commentary of the diplomatic mission, British diplomats do not intend to recognise this change.
"The current address of the British Embassy in Moscow is listed on the official website of the embassy," the press service said. There he is listed as 121099, Moscow, Smolenskaya embankment, 10.
The name "Square of the Lugansk People's Republic" was given to an unnamed territory located along the Smolenskaya embankment between Protochny Lane and the exit to Novy Arbat. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin signed the corresponding decree on July 5.

Also at the end of June, the city authorities renamed the area near the US Embassy - now it is located at the address: Donetsk People's Republic Square, Building 1. In response, the diplomatic mission removed the address from the site in the usual format - only latitude and longitude are indicated there.

You see, they think that they are entitled to "recognise" or "not recognise" changes made by the local authorities in a capital of a sovereign country (and this country is Russia).
We can only remind that the "Russian Post Service" will deliver correspondence only if a proper address is clearly stated.
