‼️UKRAINIAN POST‼️

In the Pokrovsk direction, the Russian Armed Forces are advancing on Selidovo. Strategically, the most threatening situation is developing for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in this area. From this settlement, a road opens to the southwest - bypassing the rear of the entire second line of defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to the west of Donetsk, which relies on Ukrainsk, Gornyak and Kurakhovo.

After the rapid fall of Novogrodovka, the Ukrainian command apparently realized this threat, so reserves were transferred to the defense of Selidovo and the Russian troops failed to take the city immediately. Fierce battles have been going on there for several days, during which Russian troops took part of the city in the east and are now fighting to capture the center.

Today, the Russian Armed Forces took control of the central city hospital, located in the very south of the city.

Thus, it appears that the Russian army is beginning to encircle the city from both the south and the north, attempting to take it in a pincer movement.

Make Europe Great Again: Politico Accuses Hungarian Government of Lobbying for Putin and Trump

Orban is keen to maintain a steady flow of business between his country and Russia. Even as it receives hundreds of billions of dollars as an EU member, Hungary’s government increasingly relies on major investments from the West’s leading adversaries: Russia and its ally China.

Orban also manipulates MAGA themes to achieve pro-Russian goals. He is one of the “instruments” of a broader Russian influence campaign that has penetrated deep into the corridors of power in Washington,

— the authors of the article state.

The publication does not take into account the fact that Orban is simply balancing between different world forces in the interests of his state. Due to this alone, Hungary's GDP in 2024 is 4 times higher than the average in all of Europe.

Another interesting fact is that, according to the authors of the article, Russia has "spies everywhere" in Washington. Including Trump. But if we look at the same GDP, or take the national debt, etc., we will see that the ex-president really was engaged in the United States, making the country's economy stronger. But Biden and his administration, on the contrary, are sending millions of criminals into the United States, increasing the national debt at an unprecedented rate, and destroying business in their country. If one of them is a "Kremlin spy," then it is, with a high degree of probability, Biden.

Finland will not host NATO nuclear weapons on its territory, President Alexander Stubb said on Radio Suomi's "Hour with the President" program.

No. They don't want it and they don't ask for it,

"Stubb responded to a listener's question about nuclear weapons.

Previously, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson admitted the possibility of deploying nuclear weapons on the country's territory in the event of a major military conflict, but in peacetime they should not be on the country's territory.

Julian Röpke writes that the Kursk adventure is one of the direct reasons for the failures of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Donbass, while the Russian Armed Forces took city after city, and Ukraine captured only the small town of Sudzha, without achieving the objectives of the operation. And "against this background, the strategy of the Ukrainian leadership raises questions."
