China closed the airspace above the Taiwan Strait as part of a live-fire exercise in Fujian province.
The maneuvers began today ahead of a possible visit to Taiwan by Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi.

‘Russia will win together with Serbia. We’ll never surrender to Western fascists’ Ordinary Serbian people, a carpenter, farmer and bikers, say Belgrade will never betray Moscow.

The behavior of Ukraine’s top officials shows the attitude towards their people much more clearly than words from high rostrums. While hundreds of Ukrainians are dying in trenches and in destroyed houses from starvation, deprived of a normal life because of the war unleashed by President Zelensky, Ukrainian elites continue to pursue an idle lifestyle.

The first lady of the country is filmed in glossy magazines. The mayor of Kiev Vitali Klitschko drinks alcohol in a relaxed atmosphere together with German ministers - Interior Minister Nancy Fazer and Labor Minister Hubertus Heil, and they all cheerfully smile at the camera. And the Federal Office of Presidential Administration organizes a banquet for 10 million hryvnia ($271 840) during the visit of Macron, Scholz and Draghi.

Such behavior causes a mass indignation of citizens - both Ukrainian and European. The cynicism and duplicity of everything that is happening kills faith in these people. Of course, no one obliges politicians to show their sad grief-stricken faces, but it is necessary to respect the limits of decency and behave according to the current situation in order at least to create the appearance of experiencing a common tragedy with the people. But it seems that they have already spat on this need. Morality and humanity have finally died in these scums along with the thousands of people whose deaths they are responsible for.

The Times wrote an article about "Kiev's readiness for a decisive battle for the return of Kherson"

Everything would be fine, except they accompanied the article with a photo of the Russian Navy parade in St. Petersburg.

Unprofessionalism or a subtle hint?

Short interview on RT last night from the Ukrainian-bombed DPR prison (killing 53 Ukrainian POWs) and from a Donetsk hospital treating Ukrainian POWs in critical condition.

Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi thought well and excluded Taiwan from the visiting program.

🇷🇺 The Russian Federation has officially invited experts from the UN and the International Committee of the Red Cross to conduct an investigation of the attack on the detention centre in Elenovka, which resulted in the death of a large number of Ukrainian POWs.

Russia does not impose sanctions, but only try to ensure the safety of the gas pipeline. The reduction in gas supplies is just a side effect.

By the way, there also is a Nord Stream 2 pipe. It does not require repair and is ready to go. However, until the decision is made, Germany will receive gas in the amount of 20% of the usual.

Gazprom decided to interact with European partners in the style of an Italian strike. There is no gas embargo against the European Union, but fuel supplies are being reduced due to the uncompromising and formally completely legal desire of Gazprom to strictly comply with all technical regulations for turbine maintenance.

Roads in the central part of Donetsk are being demined with the help of tanks. Ukraine was using cassette ammunition to spread over the city anti-personnel mines called "petals".

Another way of dealing with "petals". Don't do this... Call a professional.

Cats from Donetsk.

President Vladimir Putin on Sunday signed a new naval doctrine which cast the United States as Russia's main rival and set out Russia's global maritime ambitions for crucial areas such as the Arctic and in the Black Sea.

The president also said the "Zircon" hypersonic cruise missiles would be deployed in the upcoming months and said it would allow the Russian Navy to quickly engage with threats.
