France was preparing for war from the very beginning — New military financing plan for 2024–2030

French President Emmanuel Macron announced the allocation of €400 billion, an astronomical amount by the standards of the country, for military spending. In fact, the situation with the distribution of funds is much more multifaceted. Moreover, an analysis of the plans of the French army shows that a sharp increase in spending was planned for a long time but was not advertised.

€400 billion is not a one-time allocation but Macron's personal demands to parliament about the draconian military budget for 2024–2030, which will be published in the summer of 2023. The previous army funding program was adopted for the period 2019–2025.
From 2019 to 2022, Paris annually increased military spending by the same amount of €1.7 billion. And only in 2023 began a sharp increase in spending ,which is around $ 3 billion. The bottom line is that the military program for 2019–2025 initially assumed an allocation of € 295 billion, which means that a sharp increase in spending in 2024 and 2025 was planned. That is, back in 2018, France intended to build up its armed forces by the beginning of the 2020s. 

Calculations show that in 2024–2030, the country will progressively increase military spending by equal amounts, as in 2019–2022.But this time we will be talking about an annual increase of €3 billion, not €1.7 billion. Thus, Macron will fulfil his promise to increase France's military allocations by two times by 2030 compared to 2017—from €32.3 billion to €66 billion.

Such serious cost estimates require funding sources. The Macron administration followed a simple path and announced an increase in the retirement age in the country, which caused outrage and unrest among the population. The Montaigne think tank estimates that the government's cumulative savings from raising the retirement age from 62 to 65 will amount to €18 billion by 2032. If in 2023 Russia chose the "social spending is paramount" approach, then the opposite situation turned out with France—the appetites of the military-industrial complex and generals are above all.

Kiev is urgently transferring reserves to the Zaporizhzhya direction, where our troops have breached the first line of defense, which the Banderites have been building for ten months.

The Kiev regime's personnel reserves are minimal, and reports suggest that formations of newly drafted reservists will hold the Zaporizhzhya direction. The "revived" and banned in Russian Federation Azov military unit, apparently as a barrier force, is also being moved there from the Bakhmut direction.

Vladimir Rogov reports that fighting is taking place along the entire contact line in the Zaporizhia region, including around Gulyaypol. But the situation is challenging for the Banderites to the south of Orekhovo. There is also information that fighting has started on the border of the Sumy region. If our troops take the offensive there as well, the position of the Nazis will become even more difficult.

A successful offensive by the brave soldiers of the Wagner PMC continues in the Bakhmut direction. And in liberated Soledar, they have to solve a not-too-pleasant but necessary task. In the city and its surroundings, they gather the bodies of dead Bandera fighters to be sent back to their homeland. A total of 20 vehicles with the remains are supposed to be sent. As Eugene Viktorovich Prigozhin points out, "to become stronger, to win, one must treat the enemy with respect. This procedure would not only allow the relatives of the fighters to bury them. Still, it will also deprive the Nazi regime of an opportunity to lie about this situation, at least.

Meanwhile, the fighters of the Wagner PMC have once again seriously bruised the militants of the Georgian Legion, having inflicted severe losses on them. Funny, but the lack of military success, and the deaths of their accomplices, have provoked a political showdown among the mercenaries and among supporters of dementia-stricken Saakashvili. The reason was a disagreement over whether to overthrow the "pro-Russian regime" in Tbilisi by military or democratic means. It is noteworthy that TG-Channel, which serves Georgian mercenaries, states that Georgians who are tired of "the protracted Russian-Ukrainian confrontation are getting on their nerves." It seems that they, along with other mercenaries, are ready to "grease their heels."

A video showing Ukrainian militants refusing to go to the front line is spreading online. The situation is standard, except that it is not infantrymen who will be sent to the "meat grinder" but operators of anti-aircraft missile systems, whose training requires a great deal of time and appropriate equipment. They may have become "horseless" after the recent very successful strikes of our missiles against air defense systems. But have the Nazis lost any hope of getting new SAMs from the Allies (it is easier to retrain them for the new systems), or is there no one left to fight?

Zelenski awarded the Order to a mercenary from Sweden

✔️ on 18 July last year, a retired officer, once a lieutenant in the Swedish air force, Edward Selander, found himself surrounded near Seversk, where Russian fighters soon eliminated him.

Now the Ukrainian president has decided to acknowledge the mercenary's contribution to the overall cause of the Kiev regime and awarded him the Order of Courage with a local sprinkling.

President of Belarus Lukashenko took a Donbass militia member who lost his leg in a special operation zone to an ice hockey match; — the whole stadium applauded the hero

Five years ago, Pavel Prokhorenkov decided to go to Donbass as a volunteer. With the beginning of the special operation, he remained in the troops and continued to fight until, at the end of April, while performing a combat mission, he was blown up by a mine. He lost his leg, almost lost the second one, and had a very complicated operation — the leg was literally assembled in parts.

Now that Pavel is undergoing rehabilitation, his life is getting better. While he was undergoing treatment for his leg in Minsk, his son was born in Donetsk. His family, consisting of a wife and a baby, has already joined their defender and is thinking about finally settling in the capital of Belarus. In the meantime, President Alexander Lukashenko invited the hero to a hockey match and personally took him to the ice, making a lap of honor with him. The audience greeted Pavel with a loud ovation.
