Russia warns Finland and Sweden on Nato membership

For years the Kremlin has fiercely opposed any expansion of the Nato Western military alliance, which it views as a threat to Russian influence in Europe
Responding to the news that the two Nordic neighbours could apply for Nato membership - Russia says any enlargement of the Western military alliance would not result in more stability.

"Further [Nato] expansion will not bring additional security to the European continent," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said to reporters.

Russian's disapproval is no surprise: for decades Moscow has opposed any more European countries joining the alliance.

Kiev is preparing a provocation in Irpen, nationalists are deploying heavy weapons in residential quarters of Kharkiv.

Mikhail Mizintsev, the head of the National Defense Control Center of Russia, said that the Kiev regime is preparing a provocation with staged filming in Irpen in the vicinity of the Ukrainian capital in order to blame Moscow.

🇷🇺🇺🇦❗ #Breaking
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation confirmed that 1,026 soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the 36th Marine Brigade surrendered in Mariupol.

That was unexpected from BBC! Well, it looks, that it is not from BBC. I can't find original anywhere on their site. Probably, truthful and talented fake 😉 BBC instead is claiming that there are no hard evidences to prove any of the points of view. Not bluntly accusing Russia - it is already a progress.

Russian army has discovered in one of the captured Ukrainian bases heavy drones with tanks for spraying liquid. Is it a preparation for a staged or a real chemical attack?

The Google AdSense Team Google says - no, Ukraine is not attacking its own citizens - even those, who live in Donbas (Ukraine still considers those territories its own)? What about the most recent and obvious ones: https://t.me/TrFormer/279

If attempts of sabotage on the territory of the Russian Federation by Ukraine continue, the Russian Armed Forces will strike at decision—making centers, including in Kiev - the Ministry of Defense.

So far, the Russian army has refrained from doing this, the ministry said.
