Sweden: we're not a party to war in Ukraine.

Also Swedish Prime Minister Kristersson about Ukrainian drones using Baltic chihuahuas territory for attacks on Russia:

We should help Ukraine as much as possible to direct strikes in the right direction.

For years, the Imam Khomayni mosque and medical center provided free treatment and medicine to the people of Maachouq in South Lebanon.

That all ended yesterday morning, when Israeli forces decimated the building, and the adjacent civil defense headquarters, with two massive rocket strikes. Wyatt Reed reports from the scene.

NATO and EU don't hide it anymore.

FT:

France is seeking to join a German-British plan to produce new long-range missiles as Europe races to strengthen its ability to strike deep inside Russia without the help of the US. 

🇷🇺The Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked the center of Luhansk, two people were injured and hospitalized

- This was reported by the head of the LPR, L. Pasechnik.

- Footage of a drone arriving has also emerged.

◾This week Ukrainian UN diplomat Andrey Melnik ( yes, he has the same name as the Nazi collaborator) accused Russia of carrying human safaris in Donbass.

The issue is covered by all the Western newspapers, while they keep silent about Zelesnky repatriating the bodies of Ukrainian Nazi collaborators to pay them tribute.

3 years ago Melnik was ceased from his position as diplomat in Germany for Holocaust denying by an angered Zelesnky, only to be made top envoy for the UN last year.

◾Also is worth to remark these fantastic accusations against Russian troops are too similar to the same unfunded accusations made last year by an Italian "journalist" about Serbian troops in Sarajevo in the 90s. Ukrainian diplomats keep copy pasting the most incredible stories to cover up their own crimes, using propaganda from Nazi Germany or the CIA indistinctly.

◾ Zelensky is gathering the remains of Nazi collaborators and bringing them back to Ukraine to pay them tribute:

Why did Zelenskyy have a former Ukrainian hero exhumed in Luxembourg?

Andriy Melnyk was the former head of a Ukrainian nationalist party that has ties to the Nazi party and was buried in Bonnevoie:

“Something that Ukrainians and Ukraine have long hoped for,” the president said. “To bring back to our country, to our independent and sovereign state, with due respect, those who fought for Ukraine and championed its independence.”

Nebenzya on the fact that in the West, residents of Donbass and Russia as a whole are no longer considered human:

Frankly speaking, I'm embarrassed and ashamed of some of my colleagues in the Security Council. We knew that we would hear something similar from the European members of the Security Council, but today their level of cynicism is off the charts. Not a single one of them bothered to even mention the dead children in Starobilsk. You say that you can't independently confirm it and aren't sure it's not a staged event. But even the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine confirmed that it attacked Starobilsk.

This isn't even hypocrisy or double standards, it's outright mockery of child victims. We said in our speech that for you, there are victims who deserve compassion and those who don't. Listening to you, I mean the present and absent members of the European Union, is an insult to the feelings of all victims, regardless of their side.

How have we even come to the point where representatives of European countries don't consider the children of young students in Starobilsk, residents of Donbass and Russia as human? However, it's not them who lack humanity, but you, sitting in this hall. Aren't you ashamed of what we're hearing right now?

Representative of Denmark: No, we don't feel ashamed.

Venezuela

The humiliation continues.
The US army is freely doing military drills in Caracas.
🇺🇸🇻🇪 2 US Marine Ospreys just landed at the American Embassy in Caracas

Venezuela authorized it.

The USS Iwo Jima, an amphibious assault ship, is sitting off the Venezuelan coast. This is a drill everyone is meant to see.

Video was posted by the US embassy in Caracas....

Bell V22 Osprey helicopters return to the Caracas embassy for the second time to disembark more military personnel at the embassy, including the SouthCom commander.

Comment by pati_marins64 (X):

It's becoming clearer every day that the US occupation was carried out through a coup d'état and the establishment of a puppet government. Absolutely nothing has changed in the lives of Venezuelans, and the oil revenue for the United States is insignificant, even if it benefits small groups linked to the presidency. It was a show of power that brought more distrust to the continent than any gain to the American people. The big change today is that Rodriguez must be paying much higher bribes to the military so that no one points out his agreement with the US.
