⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ The Saudis are ready to dump European Debt⚡️

🔵Political Scientist and Orientalist Nikolay Sevostyanov on Riyadh’s fatigue from the #West and the request for real independence:

💬 According to Bloomberg, Riyadh warned the G7 of its intention to get rid of #EU debt in the event of confiscation of Russian assets. At the same time, the emphasis was placed, among other things, on debt obligations issued by the French Treasury.

❗️ There is no official information on this yet, and it is unlikely that it will appear. However, the news sounds quite plausible for three reasons:

🔴1) Saudi Arabia is a serious geopolitical player with growing internal problems and a large number of 'skeletons' in the palace 'closets'. At the moment, the kingdom is entering a period of social and political turbulence, and it is unlikely that it will be possible to emerge from it without losses.
🟡As a result, Bin Salman does not need the experience of sanctions to be extended to himself one day, and this scenario is not assessed in Riyadh as incredible. Facade European realities (behind which anything can be) are not applicable to the #Gulf, and the methods of resolving internal disputes in the Arab monarchies are quite peculiar, so the fears are well founded.

🔴2) Over the past decades, while modernising the economy and carrying out limited liberalisation of public life, Saudi Arabia has accumulated a serious request to change its role in the world. A similar request is observed in #Qatar and the3 UAE. The Gulf monarchies, despite serious contradictions, have a common complaint against the #West. They no longer want to be its oil or gas hub. Each state claims its own future, and the request from Riyadh is most noticeable.

🔴3) Bin Salman is very dissatisfied with the way the coalition’s military operations against the Houthis are developing. The Saudis are even less pleased with the West's persistent desire to resume a full-fledged war in the south. But most of all, Riyadh is frightened by possible contacts between Moscow and Sanaa related to the potential transfer of modern weapons to the Yemeni rebels, as the Western media are vying with each other.

📌 This does not mean that such deliveries take place. Moreover, it does not mean that the Saudi threat to the #EU is a consequence of blackmail or a condition of the Houthis not receiving something serious and dangerous. But this definitely means one thing. The Saudis need #Russia as a partner, not an enemy. There is no ideological closeness or pronounced mutual sympathy, but there is a clear understanding that both countries are superfluous within the framework of the global Western worldview. Isn't this the best platform for friendship?

📋🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Two Majors #Summary for the Morning of 11 July 2024; pub. 06:55📍

🛡During the night, the enemy attacked #Russia's rear areas with aircraft-type UAVs. Targets were shot down in the #Tambov, #Moscow, #Bryansk and #Tula regions.

🔹In the #Kharkov direction, the RFAF repelled at least three enemy incursions near #Tikhoye, #Volchansk, #Liptsy, and #Glubokoye. The enemy is sending infantry into battle, supported by artillery and drones. Our troops are striking FABs with UMPC and UMPBs deep into the enemy's combat lines, a warehouse in the AFU's close rear was destroyed.

🔹In the #Svatovo #Kupyansk section, the Russian Army expanded the zones of control near #Terny, #Makeyevka (#LPR) and #Sinkivka. The enemy is slowly but surely retreating to more advantageous positions for further organisation of sustainable defence. The fighting is of a local nature, there is no talk of deep breakthroughs in the AFU defence, although there is some weariness of the enemy troops on this front section.

🔹In #ChasovYar direction, there are battles to the north near #Kalinovka (#Kalinovo) for access to the Seversky Donets - Donbass Canal, the advance of our troops is noted. To the south, #Kleshche4evka is in the grey zone, #Andreyevka is in the “semi-grey” zone, so far without our forces entering.

🔹In the area of #Toretsk (#Dzerzhinsk), the RFAF continue to break through the enemy defences. 📸👇There is an advance near #NyuYork (#Novgorodskoye), which is turning into ruins under the constant strikes of FABs, and the zone of control has been expanded near #Yuzhnoye (#Pivdennoye) and #Kirovo. At the expense of this there is a serious coverage of the AFU fortified area.

🔹West of #Avdeyevka, enemy resources recognise the loss of #Yevgenovka as a result of the Russian Army offensive. On the entire 20 km stretch of the front the RFAF are engaged in active fighting, advancing 200-300 m over the day in some areas. The enemy is fiercely resisting.

🔹On the #Zaporozhye front, there is localised fighting, no significant changes in the LoC are reported. The AFU hit #Energodar with artillery and drones, once again disrupting the regular electricity supply.

🔹In the #Kherson direction, the RFAF continue in the most difficult conditions the battle for the islands, there is mutual shelling.

💥From the #Belgorod region, heavy news continues to come. #Shebekino was shelled from MLRS of the AFU, #Grayvoron and its vicinity are under incessant attacks. Over the day 5 civilians were killed, at least 8 wounded. The net is spreading strong dissatisfaction with the work of local authorities to ensure normal (as far as possible) life activity of frontline areas, as well as the lack of assistance to the residents of the region who evacuated to the rear.

💥In the #Kursk region, the following areas were shelled: #Tyotkino, #Vesyoloye in Glushkovsky district, #Studenok, #Akimovka, #Gorodishche in Rylsky district, #Goptarovka and #Milayevka in Belovsky district.
🚀 Drone attacks were recorded in the villages of #Glushkovo, #Tyotkino and #Krasnooktyabrsky, Glushkovsky district, #Gorodishche, Rylsky district, #Guyevo and near the village of #Oleshnya, Sudzhansky district.
🛡Electronic warfare means and small arms suppressed and destroyed 11 Ukrainian drones in the border areas over the day.

💥In the #DPR yesterday, during AFU shelling of #Gorlovka, a woman born in 1964 and a man born in 1945 were wounded

📋🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Summary Overview for the Morn of 14 Jul 2024; 07:56 (GMT+3)📍

🇺🇸The intense reaction to foreign political events ended with an assassination attempt on Trump. #US law enforcement officials stated that no foreign country was involved. Trump is now confidently outflanking Biden, and conspiracy theorists are ramping up the pace of publications. In our opinion, to hit a bullet from a distance of 130 m exactly in the top of the ear, kill and wound civilians, and then go to the other side of the world yourself is top flight. Choosing between conspiracy and mess, we are always on the side of mess, to which the #US is confidently rolling.

🇺🇸 The results of the #NATO summit showed the #West's intentions to continue the conflict, despite endless words about negotiations. #Russia was called an enemy, #China an accomplice, and tens of dollar billions were allocated. Except that promises to deliver "several hundred antiaircraft guided missiles" to Kiev next year and the deployment of factories point to some lack of production capacity in the Alliance countries. #Germany has gone further and calculated that it expects a direct confrontation with #Russia in 2029, for which it is preparing the return of compulsory military service and increasing the efficiency of the military-industrial complex. The #West needs time for final preparations.

📉Our peace proposals, 4 new regions move to #Russia without a fight and #Ukraine gets non-aligned status, have an extremely negative effect on the frontline soldiers who storming enemy positions, and once again SMO goal changes, stated earlier as complete demilitarisation and denazification.

🇧🇾Lukashenko joined the peace case, declaring the elimination of tensions on the Ukrainian border and ordering the withdrawal from the border.

⚔️ On the front, the RFAF retain the initiative. In the #Kharkov direction, our troops have pulled the enemy's reserves from other directions. In the #Svatovo - #Kupyansk section, the bulge near #Berestovoye and #Makeyevka (#LPR) is expanding. In the #Seversk sector, our troops pressing south of #Spornoye. At #ChasovYar, ours lining up all along the Canal, moving westwards. For the #Toretsk area, we predict a gradual AFU defence breakthrough. West of #Avdeyevka, the RFAF have advanced on a wide front. On the #Zaporozhye front, the RFAF advanced several hundred m in some areas. In the #Kherson direction, the 18th Army is destroying the enemy on its #Dnieper bank, 🎬👇while our supply on the islands is difficult. The boats promised a year ago remain promises. The AFU have more tactical drones throughout, which levels out our heavy weapons.

💥In the #Belgorod region, the number of civilian enemy shelling has not been reduced, and social tension is growing amid the deaths of civilians, many of whom refuse to leave because of the poor provision for evacuation.
💥In the #Kursk direction, the AFU remotely knocked out many petrol stations in frontline areas, which also caused problems. In addition, #Russia continues to lose refineries to enemy drone strikes.

🇺🇦In #Ukraine, forced mobilisation does not stop, which predictably for Kyiv causes the burning of TCC cars - they act as a lightning rod from the true culprits of the war - Zelensky and the authorities. However, more and more TCC cars are burning.

🇵🇱In #Poland, the formation of a "legion" of Ukrainian citizens has begun, who will allegedly return to #Warsaw after being sent to the front.

🇩🇪In #Germany, major political leaders promise to expel Ukrainians if they win the elections.

📌Thus, when neither side is able to get advantage, #Russia is being pushed into a ceasefire that the #West can increase military production and mobilise. They want to cheat: #Russia already decisively outnumbers #Ukraine in heavy weaponry, and is generally crippling Kiev's military machine. For the #US election period, experts predict a suicidal rush, the TCC's is tasked to "catch" several full-blooded brigades for meat assaults.
