📌 Russian cosmonauts unfurled the flag of the so-called "LPR" on the International Space Station. Ukraine demands that Russia be excluded from all space programs.

On July 4, three Russian cosmonauts - Oleg Artemyev, Denis Matveev, and Sergey Korsakov - hung the flag of the Russian entity "LPR" on the ISS. This happened immediately after the Ukrainian Armed Forces left Lysychansk. Roscosmos said that the Russians were "celebrating the liberation of the LPR" in this way.

This outraged former NASA astronauts who previously worked on the ISS.

“Russia is now officially using the ISS to promote their illegal and immoral war in Ukraine, where they kill civilians every day. We can’t ignore it anymore”, American astronaut Terry W. Virts wrote.

After that, the Ukrainian side demanded that Russia be excluded from all space programs.

💡Why is it important to strengthen the firepower of the Armed Forces of Ukraine? The Center for Strategic Communications explains

The heavy weapons supplied to Ukraine by the West have a tangible positive effect at the front. Thanks to it, the Ukrainian military strikes enemy depots, command posts, and accumulations of military equipment at a distance of tens of kilometers.

Important: Ukrainian troops do not shoot civilians! The Armed Forces of Ukraine strictly adhere to the principles of international humanitarian law.

Therefore, the explosions in Belgorod are one of Russia's attempts to discredit weapons supplies to Ukrainians. There will be more and more such provocations in the future.

The successes of the Ukrainian Armed Forces demoralize the invaders and create preconditions for the rapid expulsion of Russian troops from Ukraine.
📊 Analysts at NASA Harvest (a program on food security and agriculture) stated that Russia controls about 22% of Ukraine's agricultural land. Winter crops such as wheat, rye and barley are grown on these territories.

NASA specialists took the data from Planet Labs satellites and the Sentinel-2 mission of the European Space Agency. It turned out that the fields where 28% of winter crops and 18% of spring crops are sown (including corn and sunflower), are under occupation.

Analysts claim that Ukraine provided 46% of world exports of oil, 9% of wheat, 17% of barley and 12% of corn on world markets, so the occupation leads to a food crisis. In addition, some of the fields are already unusable.
