Secretary of the Communist Party Central Committee Alexander Yushchenko said that the leadership of the State Duma factions expects a meeting with President Vladimir Putin in the near future. He added that this was a planned event, traditionally held at the end of the Duma session. According to the secretary, the information was received from party leader Gennady Zyuganov.
According to the publication, the Briton sentenced to death filed appeal against the sentence. As The Guardian recalls, Aiden Eslin, 28, of British and Ukrainian citizenship, a former care worker from Nottinghamshire, was a Ukrainian marine who was captured by Russian forces in Mariupol in April. Earlier, two other foreign fighters convicted with him were also appealed against. It must be everyone's worst nightmare when a member of your family is threatened in this way. Obviously, I hope this is not true.”
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, calling the British citizens captured in Ukraine “prisoners of war”, said: “I strongly condemn the sentencing of Aiden Aslin and Sean Pinner, held by Russian proxies persons in eastern Ukraine.”
”We continue to do everything we can to support them,” the head of the British Foreign Office said. They both received their sentence along with Moroccan citizen Saaudoun Brahim after a trial in the Donetsk People's Republic Republic (DNR). “A cassation appeal against the verdict was filed today,” his lawyer Pavel Kosovan told the Interfax news agency. Aiden Eslin, who fought on the side of Ukraine, appealed against the harsh sentence
British mercenary Aiden Eslin, captured in Ukraine, has filed an appeal against the death sentence imposed on him in the Donetsk People's Republic. The bottom line is that Aiden said that the DPR told him that no one from the UK made contact and that he would be executed. Aiden was very upset when he called his mother this morning. “An important question is what will be the price for this, because the Russians said that some Ukrainian deputies would be exchanged for them,” said he is BBC News.

Captured captured in Ukraine, Briton Aiden Eslin, who fought in the ranks of the Marine Corps of the Ukrainian army, was convicted along with another British citizen Sean Pinner by a court in Donetsk, writes The Guardian. I have to believe what Aiden told us, that if the DPR doesn't get any response, they will execute him. Истoчник www.mk.ru Last month, Ukraine’s ambassador to the UK, Vadym Prystaiko, suggested that that British prisoners could be released as a result of a prisoner exchange with Russia. Earlier, the TASS news agency reported that the Supreme Court of the Russian-controlled territory received complaints from lawyers Brahim and Pinner.< /p>
Eslyn's grandmother Pamela Hall told the BBC earlier this month: “There are no words, just no words. Eslin was captured along with 48-year-old Briton Sean Pinner, who was also sentenced to death for “mercenarism” and “terrorism” by the DNR court.
This flywheel was unstoppable. The city is gradually returning to civilian life with the help of the Russian Federation. In the end, when the Ukrainian military realized that they could not resist us physically, their morale dropped noticeably. – In three days, we liberated a total of three cities. On the third day after the release, humanitarian aid arrived in Lisichansk on behalf of the head of the Chechen Republic – 26 Kamaz trucks, which brought 50 tons of food, water and medicines. The second corps of the People's Militia of the LPR and the grouping of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation advanced in other directions. Unfortunately, by the time we blocked the last section for a possible retreat of the enemy, most of them had already managed to jump out. They were waiting for Western weapons and believed that they would help them. – About twenty kilometers from Lisichansk, to the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic. We all know from the stories of prisoners of war from the other side that their units are already fighting only at the gunpoint of detachments from among the Nazis, who shoot those who retreat. The MK correspondent visited the city and talked with the commander of the Chechen special forces Akhmat, General Apti Alaudinov, who told how they managed to liberate Lisichansk in a short time. In addition to Lisichansk, the cities of Zolote and Gorskoe fell into the ring. Under our pressure, the enemy rushed to the run. – It turned out that all units simultaneously entered the city from all sides, – Alaudinov explained. Lysichansk, LPR. And now it is at zero. – The reason is that at first Ukraine flattered itself with hopes for help America and NATO countries. Photo: Lina Korsak
According to the general, all the forces that performed the task of blocking the city worked at the highest level. Истoчник www.mk.ru But I will note that all the equipment and weapons remained here. And they do it right. But whenever possible, Ukrainian soldiers try to avoid battle, retreat, or surrender. “This flywheel could no longer be stopped”
The last stronghold of Ukrainian armed formations on the territory of the Lugansk People's Republic – the city of Lysichansk – was liberated on July 2. Our unit entered from the side of Staraya Krasnyanka.

Japan's Defense Ministry said on Monday that Chinese and Russian warships had been sighted near the Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea at almost the same time earlier in the day. Zhou Yongsheng, in his commentary to Global Times, recalled that Russia, which is conducting a military operation against Ukraine, has island disputes with Japan, and actions of the Russian fleet in the Western Pacific are aimed at keeping Tokyo from reckless actions. According to the expert, Chinese and Russian warships can freely navigate in the contiguous zone of the Diaoyu Islands, but on different legal grounds, writes Global Times.< /p>
The Chinese vessel sailed in the contiguous zone of China, over which China has sovereign rights and jurisdiction, while the Russian vessel sailed freely in this area due to the right to free navigation in any contiguous zone in accordance with international law, Tian Shichen explained. According to a press release from the Japanese Ministry of Defense, the Chinese frigate involved is a Type 053H3 frigate equipped with YJ-83 anti-ship missiles, HHQ-7 anti-aircraft missiles and 37mm guns. Tian Shichen, founder of the Institute of Global Management and director of the International Center for the Law of Military Operations, told the Global Times on Monday that the contiguous zone overlaps with the exclusive economic zone, which means that foreign warships have the right to freely move to the adjacent zones of any country, as long as they comply with domestic laws established by the coastal country in accordance with international law. The patrolling and surveillance of the Diaoyu Islands by Chinese warships is an act of protecting national sovereignty, Zhou Yongsheng, a professor at the Institute of International Relations at the China University of Foreign Affairs, told the Global Times on Monday. According to him, the maritime activity of Chinese ships in the waters off the islands is completely legal, and Japan has no right to make irresponsible accusations. Chinese media saw Moscow's “warning” against Tokyo
Chinese and Russian warships approached the islands that China and Japan dispute among themselves, and Russia “sends a warning” to Tokyo on against the background of anti-Russian sanctions, which the Land of the Rising Sun actively joined due to the Ukrainian conflict. According to Chinese analysts, Moscow's recent actions serve as a warning to Japan against the backdrop of Japanese sanctions against the Russian Federation and are aimed at easing Western pressure on Russia due to the Ukrainian crisis. Истoчник www.mk.ru Zhao Lijian, spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, said at a regular press conference on Monday that the Diaoyu Islands and adjacent islands are China's inalienable territories. The Russian frigate entered the adjacent area of the Diaoyu Islands from 7:05 am to 8:16 am Monday, while the Chinese frigate stayed in the same area for about six minutes from 7:44 am, Kyodo News reported on Monday, citing the Japanese Ministry of Defense. As the Beijing-based Global Times notes, Chinese and Russian vessels have the right, albeit differently, to freely navigate in China's contiguous Diaoyu Islands, experts said, saying the Russian Navy's recent military activity in the western Pacific serves as a warning to Tokyo amid Japanese sanctions against Russia due to the Ukrainian crisis. According to press releases from the Ministry's Joint Headquarters defense of Japan, in June, several Russian warships circled Japan.
This means that less money will be spent on infrastructure projects, healthcare, and education. But we also have a good memory, and we remember how in 1706 in Poland the Swedes treated captured Russian soldiers who fought as part of the Saxon army. In general, their military-industrial complex is very developed. And not because these countries suddenly became anti-Russian overnight – even before that they loved us like a dog with a stick. Everything is pretty serious. – Yes, they have their own military-industrial complex. And in which case their army will be very motivated. – The Finnish army is a very powerful combat structure. Everything that they lack for their own army, they can buy either in other European countries or in the USA, as the Finns do, buying F-35s there. With modern weapons on board, this is a formidable military force that poses a danger, including even to our 5th generation aircraft, which we also currently have in very limited numbers. And now it doesn’t matter at all whether we did it ourselves or were dragged into it. – The Swedes have a smaller army than the Finns. So it is not surprising that the possibility of using tactical nuclear weapons in this area is becoming more and more relevant for us. It's just that two more countries are added to the European list that refuse to pursue a policy independent of the United States. And at any slightest opportunity, of course, they will try to return it. Therefore, now we will simply have to competently maneuver the available opportunities, restrain the unjustified or provocative impulses of these countries. – How to say … The Swedes say that they have not forgotten how the troops of Peter I ruled their territory 300 years ago. Photo: en.wikipedia.org
Despite the fact that Finland formally did not have any territorial claims against Russia, recognized the results of World War II, nevertheless, the Finnish political establishment, and many Finnish citizens, did not forget that the city of Vyborg was once the second largest Finnish city after Helsinki Viipuri. True, we had no illusions about these countries before. In some cases, a completely frank ballast, like, say, Montenegro, Croatia or Albania. Petersburg is turning into a front-line city. Now, their joining the Alliance may lead to the fact that their leadership – especially in conditions when governments are changing from more sane to less sane – is able to start provoking us, which will increase the risk of starting a war. In this sense, this is, of course, a valuable acquisition for the alliance. – I agree. However, they were not at least formally integrated into NATO structures, and accordingly, they behaved cautiously and correctly towards us. And the worst thing is that with the entry of Sweden and Finland into NATO, St. – I am sure that if there is the slightest opportunity to return their former territories, they will, of course, use such a moment. One is a military organization. But it's about politics. Their army, relatively speaking, can be called less militant. The other is political, through which the Americans conduct their policy in Europe. After the battle, the Swedes then methodically separated the Russians from the Saxons, after which all our soldiers were stabbed with bayonets right on the spot, thereby committing a war crime. Excellent infantry. So we can't be weak. They remind us of some burned church. I think that the Finns probably have largely worked out protocols for suppressing our air defense systems. The entry of many newcomers into the Bloc did not give the Alliance anything, since these countries were not security donors. And then, unlike Finland, we have no land border with the Swedes. The Baltic has been largely demilitarized since the 1990s. And the one who says that their entry into NATO means practically nothing to us, he, I think, is disingenuous. On July 5, the Foreign Ministers of Sweden and Finland signed the Accession Protocol at NATO Headquarters. – Yes, but in addition to aircraft, they also have their own beautiful corvettes, submarines, missiles… In general, both Sweden and Finland are rich countries. At one time there was even such a joke: in order to destroy this organization, it is necessary either for everyone to leave it, or for everyone to join at once. Previously, they mainly developed these ties with their neighbors – Norway, Denmark. And it will worsen with the entry of Finland and Sweden into NATO. During World War II, Sweden de facto, although not de jure, was ally of Hitler. The score is on the scoreboard. NATO, as a military organization, simply swelled from accepting such members, turning into something shapeless and poorly controlled. In some cases, partial – like Slovakia or the Czech Republic. However, the Swedes have the deepest, centuries-old Russophobic traditions. But there are two main components of the NATO structure. This puts it at risk, as the Alliance's modern weaponry gives them the ability to strike devastatingly at the city. – It all depends on the situation. We will have to spend more on defense than before February this year. Let me remind you that the border with Finland is more than a thousand kilometers. – Yes, it is observed correctly. For example, the Finns decided to buy the American F-35 aircraft. – If we talk about the everyday side of the issue, then, of course, the Finns are civilized, rich people. As Washington dictated its own will through NATO, so it will continue to dictate it. On the other hand, the military component of NATO at the expense of Sweden and Finland will experience a noticeable increase. Photo: Global Look Press
– Of course, this means the deterioration of our strategic position. It is quite obvious that in the 25 years since the first wave of NATO expansion, this structure has been growing for the first time not as a liability, but as an asset. And this fact also makes them very unpleasant opponents. Both the Swedes and the Finns have already experienced the power of Russian weapons. Most countries, including Russia, kept symbolic contingents of their navies there. Now, against the backdrop of our special operation, the military budgets of these countries will be increased, and in the field of defense they will begin to integrate more closely with the rest of the European countries of NATO. The Finns have good tank units. bad memories for them. This will force us to invest more financially in the arms race. On July 4, negotiations between these countries and the Alliance were completed in Brussels. In any case, such a move by Stockholm and Helsinki does not lead to anything good. Ruslan Pukhov, a military analyst and director of the Moscow Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies (CAST), spoke about the military significance of NATO expansion in the northwest. They still remember very well how they got hit in the teeth from us. To prevent this, we will have to seriously strengthen the air and missile defense system there. So they can cling to us again only if we turn out to be frankly weak. A naval and missile arms race will now begin in the Baltic. Not because she fought a lot, but because all her life she was well prepared to fight with us. The Finns would very much like to return Vyborg
The process of Sweden and Finland joining NATO has continued. If they have to fight with us, they will also be very motivated to do it. This is generally a very serious opponent. Истoчник www.mk.ru We've already gotten into it. The Swedes, for example, make aircraft, including early warning aircraft – air command posts. Now military cooperation will spread more widely to Europe and the USA, which, of course, is bad for us. Everything is different there. – After Poland joined NATO in 1997, all other countries were basically ballast for the alliance. I have no doubt that Vyborg and half of Karelia will try to “squeeze” us. In this second component, by and large, with the entry of these two countries, nothing changes. And if you suddenly forgot, so we can remind you. The Swedes have historically emphasized significant self-sufficiency. The Finns lost it in 1940, then left in 1944. They became consumers of security and could not give anything to the military organization of NATO. A kind of seatbelt to Washington. Being formally neutral, she took a position hostile to us, helping the Nazis. There is no need to have any illusions here. And any xenophobia is most often born out of poverty, when everyone is offended by everyone.
The seller is registered in Europe, which shows the legality of the transaction. At the same time, Turkish customs officials, contacted by the Aydınlık newspaper, argue that the information about the “detention” of the vessel – and even more so about its “arrest” – is not true. Turkish media claims that the information about the arrest of the vessel is not true
Turkey did not detain the cargo ship Zhibek Zholy sailing under the Russian flag, the Aydınlık newspaper reports. Moreover, he stressed that Ankara is in constant contact with Moscow, the United Nations (UN) and third parties on this issue. Meanwhile, Kazakhstan's KZT joined the solution of the situation with the dry cargo ship. “Ambassador Bondar wanted to lay a political mine in the grain corridor, opened thanks to the Turkish-Russian agreements and appreciated all over the world,” the publication notes. At the same time, the state company KZT assured that the deal for the sale of grain was concluded between the Estonian company and the Turkish side. “If there is a detention or confiscation, the Turkish side should inform us about this through our channel embassies or consulates,” said the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation. “The ship seems to be really Russian – under the flag of Russia, belongs, in my opinion, to Kazakhstan, and the cargo was under a contract between Estonia and Turkey.”
Истoчник www.mk.ru The publication also accused the Ukrainian ambassador in Ankara of “provocation” and laying “political mines”. Customs officials told them that as of Monday afternoon, July 4, Ankara had not yet made a decision about the bulk carrier. “If he (the lessee) was engaged in any activity that does not comply with the legal norms that are accepted in Kazakhstan and in international law, then, of course, this agreement will be terminated and this ship will be recalled,” the head of the department explained to reporters. “We must deal with this situation,” the minister said during a press conference. Meanwhile, Russia is waiting for clarification of the situation from the Turkish side. The day before, Reuters, citing a high-ranking Turkish official, said that at the request of the Ukrainian authorities, the cargo ship Zhibek Zholy was stopped in the port of Karasu. The interlocutor of the agency added that Kyiv's allegations are being thoroughly investigated. Only after that it will be clear whether there are legal consequences for the termination and return of this ship or not. According to her, the cargo ship is currently in the roadstead near the Black Sea port of Karasu. Bondar also said that the fate of the cargo ship would be finally decided at a special meeting of investigators, which, presumably, would take place already at This week. Uskenbaev believes that the Turkish side can give a legal assessment of this situation. According to Kyiv, on board the dry-cargo ship may be from 4.5 to 7 thousand tons of Ukrainian grain exported from Berdyansk. Its representatives also confirmed that the agreement and the shipment of grain are absolutely legal. According to him, the ship, which allegedly carries Ukrainian grain, is being held at the entrance to the port of Karasu. In addition, in order to clarify the situation and avoid violating international law, KZT obliged the Estonian company to provide all documents (contracts, certificates, etc.). “The grain does not say who it belongs to,” the source said.. The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Sergei Lavrov, also spoke about the need to sort out the situation with the detention of the Russian dry cargo ship off the coast of Turkey. Therefore, the ship continued to wait at the entrance to the territorial port. Meanwhile, the Minister of Industry and Infrastructure Development of Kazakhstan, Kairbek Uskenbaev, indicated that the authorities of the republic could terminate the contract with the company that rented the Zhibek Zholy vessel in case of violation of legal norms. In the autumn of 2021, she entered into an agreement on chartering the ship Zhibek Zholy without a crew with the Russian company Green Line for a period up to November 30, 2022. Photo: portaktau.kz
On Monday, July 4, the Ukrainian ambassador to Ankara, Vasily Bondar, informed that the Turkish authorities had detained and confiscated the cargo ship Zhibek Zholy, owned by the Kazakh state company KTZ (Kazakhstan Temir Zholy – Kazakhstan Railways), but sailing under the Russian flag. Earlier, the diplomat said that the Turkish authorities arrested the ship, which allegedly contained from 4.5 to 7 tons of Ukrainian grain. The Russian media have also addressed representatives of the Turkish customs services earlier. The Russian Embassy in Ankara reported that they had not yet received notification from Turkey on this issue. Earlier it was reported that after unloading the dry cargo ship in the port of Karasu, the grain was to be delivered to the city of Konya in Central Turkey. Earlier, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Moscow has no information that a ship flying the Russian flag was detained in Turkey.
Why? They are “seen” by our radars far away. – They are successfully hit by anti-aircraft gunners. According to him, this will increase the effectiveness of military aviation in air confrontation and increase the range of air targets hit, including small ones and those made using stealth technology. Anti-aircraft missiles normally get them. Hence, by the way, they have a trend towards low radar visibility of their aircraft – so that the airborne radars of our aircraft do not see the enemy for as long as possible. As for the “small-sized” targets, there is no need to guess – these are drones, which have become an indispensable attribute of the armed struggle. Here is what an expert in the field of aviation weapons, who wished to remain anonymous, told MK about the new missiles:
– The concepts of air combat between us and the Americans are fundamentally different. That is why we still have guns on planes. In the event that the missiles are used up, you finish off the enemy with a cannon. They also need to be hit with a long-range air-to-air missile. These are, for example, the American F-35 aircraft, which are more and more near the Russian borders. I think there are several reasons for this. UAVs are becoming the most important target
On July 5, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu held a conference call with the generals. One of the topics is the development of medium and short-range air-to-air missiles for the Russian Air Force. Or rather, with what is left of these Air Forces. As Shoigu said, the new missiles will be used by the 5th generation Su-57 aircraft and other fighters. And now it has been recognized as expedient to develop the segment of medium and short-range aviation missiles. “Bayraktars” do not go at low altitude. But, apparently, the task of combating drones is becoming so urgent that aviation is also aimed at solving it. In a word, no noble duels, but beat the enemy like a blind kitten. A mass-produced drone, as a rule, is an inexpensive device, and we have to spend an expensive missile to destroy it. – These drones, as a rule, do not approach the borders. Medium and small missiles are also needed to fight Ukrainian Air Force planes and helicopters. We need cheap air-to-air guided missiles so that there is an optimal ratio between the cost of an air target and a means of destruction. Истoчник www.mk.ru Pilots were taught how to start a fight, how to fight it at any distance. In recent years, we have seriously advanced in the creation of long-range aircraft missiles. And this can certainly be done only in close maneuvering combat. Photo: Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation
Air missiles are being developed for the Russian Aerospace Forces by Vympel Design Bureau. As the minister said, already in 2022 the first serial batches of new short-range and medium-range missiles will go to aviation units. One of them is the need to effectively destroy small, weakly maneuvering targets in the air, that is, drones. Aircraft manufactured using stealth technology have low radar visibility. We have always prepared our pilots for all types of air combat, including combat at short and medium distances. That is, they systematically solved the problem: to detect our aircraft as far as possible and shoot it down at a long range, preferably a hundred kilometers away. Including the Su-57. Although, of course, we have other means to fight drones – the same anti-aircraft systems, electronic warfare stations. In addition, there is one more argument – economic. They rely on air combat at long distances. MK asked a specialist why our fighters might need such missiles. Hence, I think, the question arose at a meeting with Shoigu. And the Americans have always had this attitude – to hit the Russians with long-range missiles, without approaching, in a long-range air battle. And we have the opposite.
Diplomacy, which from time immemorial was a subtle art, accessible only to selected virtuosos, has been turned into a round-the-clock reality show for the amusement of a bored public. In this context, we can also recall the recent Washington incident, when a journalist from the publication Politico, close to the Democratic Party, “unexpectedly” happened to be near the Russian ambassador during a private meeting of the latter, after which he circulated, as a kind of revelation, excerpts from a conversation he heard out of the corner of his ear. Today, professionals and heavyweights have given way to opportunists, for whom the skills of showmen and demagogues are much more important than a well-developed political program or intellectual maturity in order to succeed in elections in the countries of “progressive democracy”. But until the local electorate realizes the harmfulness of the path taken by the “people's representatives”, Moscow will have to patiently ignore the excesses of Macron-style PR diplomacy. Of course, in this brave new world, whose apologists boast of their imaginary openness and democracy, ideas of confidentiality and trust have finally given way to following the laws of the entertainment genre. At this time, he was clearly thinking not about the desired results of negotiations with Moscow, but about his rating and heroic image in the eyes of voters. Being “temporaries” in their psychology, they look at the crisis around Ukraine as another opportunity to increase their personal and party political capital. Concerned about their precarious domestic political situation, they spent more energy not on finding a way out of the impasse into which they had driven themselves, but on shaking the air with expressive slogans designed for the townsfolk who succumbed to anti-Russian hysteria. One can recall how, last year, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in the spirit of the times, first presented to the public the arguments on the “Ukrainian issue”, which appeared in correspondence with the German Foreign Ministry, and then the draft security guarantee treaties proposed by the United States and NATO. In the past, we observed such provocations either from individual odious figures like ex-NATO Secretary General A. The continuing calls for Kyiv to resist Russia, in fact, “to the last Ukrainian,” are nothing more than an effective way to shift the attention of a mass audience from internal difficulties to an artificially provoked conflict with a demonized Moscow. Far in the past are the times when the grand masters of world politics, ranging from Churchill to Kissinger, acted as the guardians of not only political, but also ethical traditions in international affairs. Random figures, who, thanks to the whims of voters and the efforts of sponsors, replace each other at the head of Western governments with enviable regularity, use the platform provided to them not to contribute to strengthening international security, but for the sake of quick self-promotion with an eye to subsequent employment in large corporations. Why Politicians Ignore Privacy Rules
The disdain of our former Western partners for good manners and diplomatic etiquette has long been a byword. We will proceed from the fact that the main negotiators in this direction are the heroic participants in the special operation – and it is their successes that will stimulate the accelerated political maturation of Western leaders. As it turned out, in order to gain access to a private conversation between the heads of the two leading world powers, journalists did not have to resort to tricks and bribing sources surrounded by Emmanuel Macron. At the same time, the Russian leadership has traditionally stood with two hands for increasing the transparency of international dialogue. The latest scandals, in a series of which the story of the unsightly behavior of the French leader turned out to be just one of the episodes, show us that the leaders of the Western countries today are, in principle, not ready for meaningful interaction, just as they were not ready on the eve of the start of a special military operation (when the mentioned conversation had place). Fogh Rasmussen (his trip with a voice recorder to a meeting with the Russian leader is memorable), or – most politicians in post-Soviet Ukraine, for whom the concept of confidentiality does not exist in principle. It can be confidently asserted that neither the United States nor Europe were ready for a true, constructive democratization of foreign policy processes. The publication of our proposals was perceived extremely painfully, as it prevented the West from continuing to pursue the previous line with an eye to emasculating a meaningful dialogue and disorienting public opinion on the question of the true tasks and demands of Russia. But every time it tries to add openness to diplomatic contacts, Moscow has faced criticism from Western capitals. It is even surprising that the corresponding conversation became public only now – probably, the French leader considered that she would be of little help to him in the election campaign, since in the published passage, against the background of the interlocutor, he looks like a nervous and fussing amateur. Истoчник www.mk.ru But the precedent has been set. We saw a typical example just the other day, when a transcript of a conversation between the Russian and French leaders got into the press. The President of France, the formal heir of de Gaulle and Mitterrand, himself invited them to his residence and, working on camera, called Vladimir Putin at an extremely difficult moment in the current crisis. Of course, over time, American and European voters will have to tire of this political theater, in which the civilians of Ukraine, Russia and the Western countries themselves act as extras. Photo: AP
At the recent G7 summit we could personally observe the signs of degradation of the leaders of its member states. Given the close cooperation between the Biden administration and the mainstream media in waging an information war and generating anti-Russian fakes, one cannot help but assume that the “lucky” in this case, the journalist acted as an instrument of much more influential curators behind the campaign of harassment against diplomats from our country. But now it looks like it's time to talk about the Ukrainization of European and American political life, where the pursuit of sensations and scandals has replaced a constructive approach to global problems.
