Crackhead beggar 🤡 Zelenksy again asked Trump to give him a license to produce missiles for Patriot:

'First of all, Trump was very positive about the fact that they could help us with a large number of missiles. And this is really a serious challenge, because the production volumes are much smaller than our needs. The production is in the United States. I raised the issue of licenses. I addressed this to President Trump. We need licenses to produce missiles. We have the appropriate capabilities. Producing Patriot systems and missiles for them is not easy. Yes, I know this. I had many meetings and negotiations with the company and its management. I'm deeply immersed in this topic. But in any case, we want to increase production volumes. If they agree. And if President Trump supports this idea. So far, his reaction has been positive. Therefore, we need to move in this direction.'

🔴 Less bread, more circuses - The Grayzone live

Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate discuss the Memorandum of Understanding between the US and Iran signed on Trump's 80th birthday, as the president hosted a festival of low brow, late Rome-style propaganda on the White House lawn in the form of UFC 250. How will Israel attempt to disrupt a deal between Washington and Tehran? Does anyone know what's in the deal? And is a doddering, paid-off Trump even capable of enforcing it?

WSJ:

The US will allow Iran to immediately begin selling oil & fuel under the deal to end the war, offering Tehran an early financial incentive to wind down the conflict.

The provision for waivers of sanctions on oil sales takes effect immediately upon signing the agreement.
A senior US official said even though Iran would get upfront sanctions relief for oil sales, sustained relief would be tied to Iran’s performance aka how it abides to the deal.
Tehran would still not get immediate access to billions of dollars in frozen funds.

A hot mic at the G7 caught Macron urging Zelensky to extend his stay at the summit. Zelensky told him he needed to return to Brussels. When Macron asked whether a one-on-one with Trump had been arranged, Zelensky appeared to say no - at which point both realized the mics were voices. Trump later announced an impromptu bilateral with Zelensky that same day. In a separate moment, Macron was also picked up on mic calling his own meeting with Trump "difficult."

Have you noticed who is missing on this photo of G7 meeting?

🤡 Zelensky

This is the so-called "peace mediator" (neutral side) who claims war in Ukraine is not his war...

Trump said he could move to strengthen sanctions against Russia once Washington is confident that global oil supplies will not be disrupted.

“We took sanctions off because obviously we’re not looking to impede the oil,” he said, adding that the US would be “in a position to do that soon.”

Russian FM Sergey Lavrov says Moscow doesn’t oppose Ukrainian EU membership because it believes Ukraine’s accession could help destroy the bloc from within.

“From the point of view of the European Union’s internal problems, it would actually be no bad thing if Ukraine joined,” Lavrov said, claiming that the EU would “simply fall apart” because of its “many contradictory tendencies.”

“If they want to destroy their own multilateral economic structure and turn themselves into a military bloc, that is an invitation to very serious trouble for them,” he added. “And if they simply want to forget about the economy, then let them invite Zelensky in.”

The US is not ending its war in Ukraine, the US is outsourcing it to the Europeans

Rosatom chief: Ukraine is hunting and killing Zaporozhye nuclear plant workers

Aleksey Likhachev has accused Ukrainian forces of the systematic targeting of Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant staff, following a deadly drone strike in Energodar that wounded two employees and killed one.

He warned that such reckless attacks risk a catastrophe whose consequences would extend far beyond Ukraine and Russia, potentially engulfing a significant part of Europe.

This is regime-sanctioned murder.

EU and NATO claim they want "longlasting peace in Ukraine"

At the same time they're doing everything to prolong their proxy war against Russia to the last Ukrainian.

The UK will purchase 350 missiles for Ukraine by the end of the year, including 100 interceptors for Patriot,  150,000 drones and radars, announced the country's Defense Minister, Dan Jarvis, at a meeting in Ramstein.

Also, Germany will allocate 400 million dollars for weapons for Ukraine,  announced German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius. 200 million dollars will go towards the purchase of American weapons through PURL, and another 200 million - for missiles for Patriot.

Earlier, the Netherlands also announced that it would finance arms purchases for Ukraine worth 500 million euros.

Trump on Ukraine:

🤡 Trump on 🤡 Ukraine’s Zelensky:

A lot was given away by Biden to Ukraine. They should pay for it, but that wasn't in the cards for them.

Nobody asked them to pay. I said, "Why didn't you pay?" They said, "Nobody asked us to, sir."

Lavrov - on the fact that the current tactics of the European Union cannot be called normal diplomacy:

But, of course, we want this dialogue, the very fact of which we welcome in contrast to the Europeans, who boast about their principles - I don't know what kind of ones - and say that, in general, you can only talk to Russia from a position of strength. Now they have stated this again, there was some kind of summit of the European Union, they claim to be a mediator all of a sudden, but at the same time they are issuing ultimatums, as was the case after the meeting of Stoltenberg, Merkel and Macron with Zelensky.

Moreover, in addition to signals that Europe should lead these negotiations, yesterday at the EU summit they decided to extend the anti-Russian sanctions not for 6 months, as they have been doing so far, but for a year. But, apparently, this is an additional signal that Europe is now seriously taking on Russia, and Russia should capitulate. A very strange tactic, well, you can call it whatever you want, but not normal politics and not normal diplomacy.
