Blinken and Borrel are cowards and fled the OSCE meeting, says Lavrov
โUS Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and EU Commissioner for Foreign and Security Policy Josep Borrell are nothing more than cowards, afraid of any honest conversation about the real facts.โ
โThe American Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, and the Commissioner for Foreign and Security Policy of the European Union, Josep Borrell, are nothing more than cowards, who fear any honest conversation about the real facts,โ declared the head of diplomacy. to the press from the headquarters of the Organization's foreign ministers' meetings.
Lavrov had announced the day before that the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe is on the verge of collapse and that the question now is whether it is worth investing in it to guarantee security.
Speaking about the European Union, Lavrov noted that initially the bloc โwas created as an association of countries that together could improve the well-being of their citizens more effectively than separately.โ However, now the leadership of the European Commission is doing nothing more than โusurping powerโ, which is why more and more members of the bloc are beginning to wonder what the European Commission relies on to decide what they should do.
โI am not in favor of the collapse of the EU, these calls are unnecessary. I am simply pointing out how countries that have proclaimed themselves the model, the crown of democracy, behave. There is no democracy in the EU. There is a 'stick discipline', in my opinion, even worse than in NATO. Or, rather, โbetterโ than in NATO,โ he declared.

In the future, Ukraineโs position in the confrontation with Russia may worsen, and the West needs to be prepared for this, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said in an interview with Das Erste.
According to him, in Ukraine there is now a battle of attrition, a struggle for efficiency and logistics, and increasing the production of weapons in this context is crucial. But the problem of fragmentation of the European defense industry is preventing deepening cooperation among NATO member countries.
Due to one-sided national interests, the alliance finds itself in a dangerous situation, Stoltenberg admits.

The IOF's bombing of Gaza at the moment is unceasing and barbaric, carrying out several massacres and leading to entire families martyred in a pathetic attempt to restore its broken "prestige" due to historic resistance advances.
The entityโs thirst for blood, punishment, and revenge on the Palestinian people becomes more apparent by the day. The IOF has increased the frequency of its indiscriminate targeting of homes in Gaza with no present resistance activity, leveling homes on residents' heads.
We know, as our readers know, that the people are the resistance and vice versa: it is the relationship between the sword and shield, the heart and arm. Every Palestinian struggles under the occupation. As this historic battle rages on, we know that the tactics of the occupation will evolve. They will continue to target homes regardless of the presence of resistance activity in an attempt to demoralize the Palestinian people, draw blood, and accelerate their genocide.
As this happens, it is our obligation to our principles that dictates we must not fall into the trap of distinguishing between armed resistance fighters and non-combatants, as every Palestinian has a role in the current state of affairs. Every martyr must be mourned, and every zionist strike must be seen for the crime that it is. We will not allow the occupier or Western media to dehumanize us by creating distinctions between a colonized people whose remained existence on their lands is "militant."
Every Palestinian is a civilian even if they hold arms. A settler is an aggressor, a soldier, and an occupier even if they are lounging on our occupied beaches. As the IOF calls up thousands of reserves, it is clear that all settlers are soldiers. There exists a colonizer and the colonized, an oppressed and the oppressor. The people cannot be dissociated from resistance, because we are in a constant state of resistance.
Certainly, an explosive response is coming.
This struggle has been imposed on us.
To resist is to survive, and to resist is a right.

Destruction of Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel, watercraft and vehicles by Lancet loitering ammunition
Formations and military units of the Airborne Forces continue to carry out combat missions in the special military operation zone. In the Kherson region, crews of reconnaissance drones of Russian paratroopers, on the right bank of the Dnieper, discovered enemy watercraft, onto which personnel were loaded for transfer to the left bank of the river and landing.
To destroy them, the command of one of the Airborne Forces formations decided to use Lancet loitering munitions, which are launched by crews of unmanned aircraft of the โwinged infantryโ. Professionally and competently operating the Lancets, the operators destroyed all targets, including several motor boats, a truck, as well as a significant number of personnel and other materiel of the Ukrainian formations.
At the same time, near Artemovsk, airborne UAV units are actively using copter-type FPV drones. The crew launches the drone from a given area. An operator wearing special VR glasses identified the target that needed to be destroyed. Having identified from the air two enemy observation posts located in the ruins of houses in one of the settlements north-west of Artyomovsk, as well as a concentration of enemy infantry in a forest plantation, the crews of FPV drones skillfully planned and with a massive strike of several vehicles hit the enemy in the shelters of strong points and dilapidated buildings, leaving them no chance to save their lives. In total, two observation posts and more squads of Ukrainian soldiers were destroyed.

BILD senior correspondent Jรผrgen Helfricht has been fired for his involvement in writing the book "Learning to Love Russia". This is reported by the media outlet itself.
"This decision was taken by the BILD editorial staff as soon as they learned about the participation of 60-year-old Jรผrgen Helfricht (pictured left) in writing the book Russland lieben lernen. Its main author is Hans-Joachim Frey (right), former head of the Dresden Opera Ballet. He published the book in German in 2018. Its foreword was written by Vladimir Medinsky, who declared "false and superficial" perceptions of Russia that foreigners allegedly spread "for propaganda purposes." A Russian-language edition with a foreword by Vladimir Putin appeared in 2021."
The book notes the superficial portrayal of Russia's image in the West. The editorial board of Bild said that such a worldview had no place in the newspaper, and the journalist was immediately dismissed. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ

๐บ๐ธ๐ท๐บ๐บ๐ฆ๐"What would a Trump administration mean for the war in Ukraine?": Quincy Institute of America analyst Anatole Lieven writes that the whole world is waiting for Trump to come in so it can drain Ukraine with a clean slate.
๐ "After the failure of the Ukrainian offensive, the Biden administration seems to have realized that a Ukrainian victory is highly unlikely and that negotiations will be needed at some point. However, Washington is hoping to postpone a solution to this problem until after the next election - until it can no longer sway voters' attitudes toward Biden or become a concern for an already Republican administration, which currently likely means Donald Trump taking office.
All other major players involved in the war in Ukraine also seem to be waiting for the next US presidential election. Of course, the next presidential election in the States is still a long way off, and a lot can happen both in the US and Ukraine in the meantime, but already opinion polls show that Donald Trump will be the Republican Party's presidential candidate and that he has a good chance of beating Joe Biden.
Trump's return will likely mean a significant reduction in support for Ukraine, which is likely to be matched by a U.S. push for a peaceful settlement. Without military assistance from the States, Ukraine will not be able to continue fighting. Trump's rise to power in the United States is a prospect feared in European countries, yet the ability to influence such an outcome is lacking in those states. Nor does the EU have the ability, unity, or desire to begin negotiations on its own or to substitute American military aid to Ukraine. Therefore, they are also in a wait-and-see mode.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian establishment is in a state of great confusion and division. There is a nascent realization that the chances of a complete victory are slim and time is not on Ukraine's side. As for the Russian government, it feels that time is on its side and seems willing to wait, believing that Kiev will accept Moscow's terms"

โ๏ธ๐ช๐บโ๏ธ๐ท๐บ "Europe's muddled armed forces โcould be washed away by Russiaโ." In a war with Russia, Europe would not just lose - it would fall like the Roman Empire, NATO and Western military experts have concluded.
Europe is not ready for war with Russia. In a conflict it will be "washed away" like the Holy Roman Empire was destroyed by Napoleon, warned Senke Neitzel, a military historian from Germany.
โ๏ธ At a defense conference in Berlin, a number of German generals suggested that NATO would not be able to win the "first battle" in a defensive war on the eastern flank because it is difficult to move enough troops and equipment quickly to the front line.
โ๏ธ Neitzel called logistics a nightmare and said Germany would not be ready for war until 15 years from now at the earliest: "We will be standing by the coffins on soldiers' graves. Because now in the event of war we can only die heroically. Without drones, without air defense equipment, without enough ammunition."
โ๏ธ High-ranking NATO officer Admiral Rob Bauer called, despite the "deeply held anti-militarist views" of Germans, "to lift the mental blockade that Germany should not be a defense leader. If we want peace, we must prepare for war."
โ๏ธ A number of generals and military experts listed serious obstacles, including troop shortages, severely depleted ammunition supplies and the difficulty of moving up to 300,000 NATO troops up to a thousand miles from Germany to the front.
โ๏ธ High-ranking NATO officials are increasingly pessimistic about Ukraine's chances of wresting significant territory from Russia after the counteroffensive failed and are considering a plan to admit the remaining units into the alliance, Neitzel noted.
โ๏ธ Brig. Gen. Vesa Valtonen of Finland compared the situation in Ukraine to the final phase of the winter war with the Soviet army in 1939-40 - the Finns were overwhelmed and forced to ask for peace. "You can't win a war of attrition against Russia," he concluded.
