The Polish Foreign Ministry dismissed all employees who were graduates of MGIMO (Moscow State Institute of International Relations) as part of decommunization—head of the Polish Foreign Ministry Zbigniew Rau

"This institution was part of a larger project of Soviet imperialism. The Moscow State Institute of International Relations was an investment in the functioning of Russian imperialism. It was part of Soviet soft power. "The graduates were there to serve the raison d'être of this empire," Rau said.

'Brave Ukrainians doing dirty work’, ex-Pentagon chief says in prank call

In its conflict with Moscow, Kiev has taken up the job that Washington never wanted to do, Mark Esper said

The US should make every effort to arm Ukraine in its conflict against Russia, because the nation is doing the dirty work Washington has shied away from, former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper said on Monday. He added that Ukraine has every right to attack Russian military targets, including those located within the country.

Esper, who served as the Pentagon chief in the administration of former President Donald Trump, spoke his mind in a phone call with the Russian pranksters who go by the names of Vovan and Lexus, believing that he was talking to former Ukrainian President Pyotr Poroshenko.

“Brave Ukrainian people are doing the dirty work of what we never wanted to do here in the United States, which is why we should continue to support you with everything we can, whether it’s munitions or arms or intelligence,” he said.

The ex-official recommended that Ukraine conduct more strikes on Russian military warehouses and logistics centers. He also told the pranksters that Kiev had “a sovereign right to conduct strikes on any targets you see fit,” including within Russia, explaining that an adversary with an off-limits “sanctuary” has an advantage.

🇺🇦The Armed forces of Ukraine may retreat from Bakhmut—the White House

The White House believes that the Ukrainian Armed Forces may retreat from Bakhmut, but the final decision to surrender the city will allegedly be made by Kiev. In fact, Washington confirmed the obvious fact to everyone: the Ukrainian army is no longer able to hold the city, but the Kiev leadership is doing everything to delay this process as long as possible, including sending new "cannon fodder" to the slaughter.

Earlier, Prigozhin warned against prematurely "celebrating" the imminent encirclement and capture of the city, stating that heavy fighting is taking place in Artemovsk.

In the near future, massive attacks by the Russian army may begin in the Luhansk direction.

This was announced by the Gauleiter of the Luhansk region(appointed by Kyiv) , Sergei Gaidai. According to him, an increase in artillery and air strikes by Russian troops is recorded in the region. Also in this direction, the Russians are concentrating more forces and equipment.

"They are throwing all their strength in our direction in order to reach the administrative border and so that there is something to "sell" to the population of the Russian Federation. We see that this is more of a probe, a search for weaknesses. "This is already one part, perhaps the initial massive offensive," Gaidai said.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry called the United States the world's largest spy power with the widest intelligence network.

According to Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin, the United States is inflating the topic of Chinese espionage and the balloon allegedly launched by Beijing, forgetting about its surveillance of everyone, including allies:

"The US National Security Agency monitors text messages and listens to phone calls, including calls from high-ranking officials in Germany, France, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, and other European countries."

A Ukrainian prisoner asked for a "goodbye smoke" (cigarette). 

"What goodbye? We're not saying goodbye to anyone here. "Nobody's going to kill anyone here, what are you talking about?" Russian fighters, who captured the militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, answer in surprise.
