The Ukrainian Armed Forces are suffering huge losses in Bakhmut because the city was not prepared for defence, Ukrainian Major-General Serhiy Kryvonos has said.

On Ukrainian TV, he pointed to mistakes made by Kiev and the AFU command, which, he said, should have abandoned the city back in February: "Every scrap of land in Bakhmut is already covered in Ukrainian blood. And this is a big problem: we are paying a terrible price."

He stressed that the problem with poor training of mobilized recruits is reflected in the situation in Bakhmut.

Earlier, the Western media reported that Ukrainian grave diggers had to work overtime due to the large number of two-hundredths (code word for KIA) from Artemovsk.

🇷🇺🇺🇳Response from the representative of the Russian Federation F.K.Strzhizhovsky during the general debate of the 45th session of the Committee on Information

Accusations of censorship, creation of an information vacuum, distortion of facts – all these attacks are as untenable as they are hypocritical. I would like to encourage all those who voiced them to look in the mirror.

<…>

We cannot but respond to the anti-Russian statements by the delegation of Latvia, which allowed itself to refer to the publication on Twitter of the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia Dmitry Medvedev, in which he allegedly calls for the destruction of Ukraine.

If the representative of Latvia had read not only the title (although he misrepresented it in a convenient wording for himself), but the entire article, he, like everyone else, would have no doubt what the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council meant. However, our Western colleagues do not care about this at all. It is only important for them to denigrate Russia, create a negative image of our country and justify their actions against it at any cost, including in the information field.

<…>

Separately, we note the speech of the US delegation, which has already repeated several times that they do not intend to answer our questions and claims. It is understandable. What can be objected to the obvious and blatant violations by the United States of its obligations as the host of the UN Headquarters, as well as the obvious disregard for the principles of media freedom and the non-issuance of visas to Russian journalists on time.

<…>

The representative of Ukraine advised us to remember historical facts, and at the same time accused us of trying to monopolize the victory over Nazism in 1945.

We just remember history, unlike those who seek to rewrite it in favor of their geopolitical ambitions and opportunistic interests.

<…>

We cannot but note the failed joke of the Ukrainian representative that Russia is afraid of being attacked by an army of "combat mosquitoes" from the territory of Ukraine. In his view, this is what our attempts to draw the attention of the world community to the military-biological activities of the United States in third countries, including Ukraine, amount to.

However, taking into account the objective data received by the Russian Ministry of Defense and presented at relevant briefings, no borders will stop the potential biological threat. This should be remembered by everyone who provides the territory of their states for conducting dangerous research.

Military conflict in Sudan through the eyes of an American:

Sudan intended to join the BRICS and reached an agreement with Vladimir Putin on the deployment of a military base in Sudan.

The US did not like this, so they ordered one "general" to attack another "general". Russia is behind some of the "generals", and the United States is behind others.

Putin has come a long way in 23 years, from the first cautious but resolute attempts to restore Russia's sovereignty as a state, almost completely lost in the 1990s, recognising that Russia (although sovereign) is part of the Western world, part of Europe (from Lisbon to Vladivostok) and generally shares Western values, rules and attitudes, to the head-on clash with the collective West, openly rejecting its hegemony, refusing to recognise its values, principles and rules as universal and strictly accepted by Russia.

Putin's signature on 31 March 2023 with the new foreign policy concept means that the road from a sovereign state in the context of a common Western globalist liberal civilisation to a sovereign civilisation, the Russian world and an independent pole has been definitively passed. Russia is no longer the West. The West was the first to proclaim this, launching a war of annihilation against us. After a year of SMO we also affirm it. Not with regret, but with pride.

In the above definition of Russia there are four levels, each representing the most important concept in foreign policy.

The statement that Russia is a civilisation-state means that we are not dealing with a simple nation-state according to the logic of the Westphalian system, but with something much bigger. If Russia is a civilisation-state, then it should not be compared with a particular Western or non-Western country, but with the West as a whole, for example. Or with another civilisation-state, such as China or India. Or simply with a civilisation represented by many states (such as the Islamic world, Latin America or Africa). A civilisation-state is not just a very large state, it is like the ancient empires, the kingdoms of kingdoms, a state of states. Within the civilisation-state there can be several political entities, even quite autonomous ones. According to K. Leontiev, this is a complexity in the making, not a linear unification, as in the common nation-states of the New Era.

Vladimir Putin visited "Rudnevo" Park, where the production of various drones is being launched: starting from startups, laboratory research, development work and ending with mass production of drones.

While inspecting the industrial park, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin briefed the President on the construction progress.

⬆️⬆️⬆️ On the issue of the allegedly forcible deportation of Ukrainian children, which PACE today recognized as genocide

I still continue to follow the fate of the boy Vova, who was recently “forcibly evacuated” from Bakhmut by PMC Wagner fighters.

After our last meeting things got even better for him. She and her mother were able to find her parents, and finally the family was completely reunited in one of the cities of the DPR.

So that the guy would not be bored and he could quickly adapt after the horror he experienced, the musicians, in addition to the tablet, gave him a soccer ball and a longboard.

Surprisingly, the boy’s mother, “forcibly evacuated with him,” broke down during the conversation and sent a message to Zelensky on camera:

“Only our Mr. president says that you are forcibly taking us away, we are bribed and we give you interviews for money. No, Mr. president, calm down. We really say a big thank you to the PMCs. They are not like your warriors who shot us in the back, smashed our houses, killed our parents. I want you to be in our place. With your relatives, with your parents, and so that at three o'clock in the morning your house would burn with your relatives. For you to feel it on your own skin. I swear: this is not bought and no one paid me anything,” the woman said.

By the way, today, with the direct participation of the mayor of the city, an employee of PMC "Wagner" began to resolve the issue of employment of the "forcibly evacuated" parents of the boy. Previously, they will go to work at a local city-forming enterprise with the subsequent issuance of housing.

Oh, this is violence.

❗️Our tasks are clear, the special military operation will be completed. Weapons transferred to Kyiv are coming on to a black market and then into the hands of terrorist organizations, which creates additional risks, especially given the announcement of the supply of ammunition with a depleted uranium core to the armed forces of Ukraine.

Shoigu said that Russia was left with no other options but to eliminate the threats emanating from the territory of Ukraine by military means.

The programs implemented by the United States in Ukraine are aimed at developing bioweapon components.

The US activity to transfer the most dangerous research to third countries continues, said Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.

On the example of Ukraine, we see the dual purpose of these programs and their actual focus on the development of biological weapons components, which is a direct violation of the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention.
