Президент РФ заявил, что конфликт с участием Запада и Украины идет к завершению

"Западные страны пообещали помощь Украине и начали раскручивать противостояние с Россией, которое продолжается до сих пор. Я думаю, что дело идет к завершению, но все-таки это серьезная вещь, потому что возникает вопрос, зачем (было это противостояние - "ИФ")", - сказал Путин на пресс-конференции в Москве.

🤡 Putin believes that 🇦🇲Armenia's rapprochement with the West will lead to conflict with Russia.

"We're currently experiencing everything that's happening in Ukraine, but where did it all start? With Ukraine's attempt to join the EU," he said.

🇮🇷| The IRGC Navy announced in its official statement that from now on, any attack on Iranian oil tankers will be responded to with an attack on US military bases.

Great. More soldiers in the open.

🇮🇱l🇱🇧 In recent days, the Israeli army has introduced hundreds of "Khanjar" smart scopes for individual weapons into Lebanon, with the aim of improving fire against drones in southern Lebanon, according to Israeli ground forces officials this evening.

The "Khanjar" scopes are not new, but until now their distribution was limited, primarily to infantry soldiers.

Now, the Israeli army is distributing them more widely, having begun making additional purchases. (Israeli Broadcasting Corporation)
