🇪🇺 Europe accuses US of profiting from war - Politico

High-ranking European officials are already questioning whether the US is their ally. Uncomfortable questions about the rising cost of living in Europe and subsidies for the industry in the US have increasingly started to come up from the podiums and media.

Also, for ordinary Europeans and for EU governments, it is not very comfortable to trade with an overseas 'friend' at prices 2-3 times higher than with Russia (before sanctions).

📝 "The thing is, if you look at it soberly, the country that profits the most from this war is the US, because they sell more gas and at higher prices, and because they sell more weapons," the source told Politico.

What's more, even when the Europeans make claims openly, the US ignores everything.

📝 "The rise in gas prices in Europe is caused by Putin's 'invasion' of Ukraine and Putin's energy war against Europe, full stop <...> LNG exports from the US to Europe "have increased dramatically, allowing Europe to diversify away from Russia," said a US National Security Council official.

‼️🔥"Solntsek" daredevils burned down AFU tanks on Liman front

Fierce fighting near Svatovo-Kreminna continues. Artillery is very active.
In the video, TOS-1A "Solntsecek" of the group "O" hit and "set fire to a tank of Germans (so our people call the Ukrainian Nazis), there was another tank of the AFU but exploded later, and this one banged beautifully", - say the soldiers.

‼️🇷🇺Battle footage: 9th regiment storms enemy stronghold

The 9th Regiment's artillery destroyed the AFU's long-term firing points, which covered the approaches to the Ukrainian stronghold, with accurate fire. This enabled the armored group to break through directly to the enemy fortifications. The BMPs of the 9th Regiment landed with their regular weapons fire and seized the Ukrainian positions.

The Chinese portal Sohu describes Russia's S-500 air defence system as the most powerful system in the world today. "After the S-400, Russia immediately started developing the all-new S-500 air defense system." "Its launch reflects a far-sighted decision of the Russian military to focus on the development of anti-aircraft missile systems," the journalists said. The authors of the article also believe that the S-500 air defence system has become a new shield for the future air and space defense of Russia. This is a powerful response to Washington's space strategy, the Chinese media stressed.

Let's see...no money, no electricity, no money to pay for the electricity you don't have, no heating, @hit falling from the sky on your cities occasionally, half of the family gone or escaped, no work, again no money...yap. You look like winners to me.

Part 1
Artillery, the GOD of war.

While there is a window and opportunity, let's talk about how the intelligence-art ligament has now started to work quite well.

Positions. Apart from Artemivsk and similar situations, there is now a gray zone between our positions and the enemy. It can be from a kilometer to 3. Thus it is possible to secretly move out small reconnaissance groups into these gray zones, which secretly observe the enemy's movements and activities (how and when to move out will be discussed with your comrades on the ground). Also, in each area of responsibility has artillery (let's omit the number), which is responsible for one or another section of the front. And here begins the most interesting part...

Part 2
Interaction. Earlier, we wrote articles on this subject. Here's a concrete example: artillerymen always have a representative from the surveillance (an experienced officer) who has a connection with his "eyes" in the area of responsibility. In case of a report by eyes that there is a worthy target, THIS officer decides to destroy or suppress the target that was uncovered by "eyes," thus bypassing the long knee from reconnaissance > chief reconnaissance officer > senior commander > chief of artillery > battery commander (SOB) > battery—because of this "knee," the time to make a decision stretched up to 12 hours (those who are in the subject, you know what I mean). Now it has been reduced to 10 minutes at the most, and the experience of our artillerymen in preparing a gun for firing and the expertise of our COBs and DISs in calculations has reduced the running time even further. The efficiency has increased in comparison with the beginning of the SMO by TIME. This is super.

Nuances. This is how the system works, where "initiative groups" are listened to by their superiors. And where subordinates are not afraid to go into arguments with their commanders with valid concerns (eh, Kherson brothers?). And in some places, everything remains the same.
Comrade commanders of all ranks, show SOMETHING of initiative and get movement from your superiors. You are in the trenches, not them. As a colleague of mine used to say: cognac does not flow under a lying commander. Only then will victory be ours.

Once again, we appeal to all brotherly channels not to share movements and redeployment of the Serbian army troops near Kosovo's administrative line.
Thank you.

Front Svatovo - Kremenna
Starashie Eddie
This is where the most difficult battles of the war are being fought by the 144th motorized rifle division. The story of the officer of the 144th motorized rifle division about today's trip to the 254th motorized rifle division.

I have already written many times about the feats of the 254th motorized rifle division and its commander, "Metis." It was "Metis" that took Dolghenkoe and led its people out of the encirclement in Terny through the combat lines of khokhlovaks. Today I was again lucky to talk to him and learn something interesting about how the situation at the front is changing in our favor.

"The Kohls are trying to pile us with corpses." Shaking his hands and frankly perplexed, "Metis" talked about the battle going on at the moment, distractedly talking on the radio and brushing plaster falling from the ceiling off the working map.

- They were being brought in columns of trucks from Yampol and taken to their positions. POWs said that it was going so far that their commanders sent soldiers to equip fortifications in the forest belts, where our troops were already sitting. We used to take them there. Those who tried to shoot - two soldiers were killed, and if they raised their hands, why would they kill them? We take care of our soldiers; we do not drive them into the attack for anything. If possible - go, no - iron with artillery until it does not appear. From the quad, for example, the Special Forces copied the dugout of the khoklya immediately to the tank coordinates. From closed firing points, they hit the exact p...ts, a deviation of 5-7 meters. Their pickups are coming up... The new ones. I wish I had one of those... They're pulling out the wounded. There were 5 of them... Our artillery is already working with a 50-meter fire transfer. In short, in the morning alone, 20 khokhils were killed. And it's like this every day; they keep bringing them in and out...

- All almost mobilized. But the funny thing is if they were all from these places before... Remember Izyum? Kharkov, Slavyansk... Now it's increasingly western Ukraine. Yesterday the scouts brought in a TRO man from Lvov. But we don't keep them here, straight to Russia. One wounded (AFU man)... It turns out they brought him in the day before yesterday. His leg was punctured, and an artery was damaged. He was sent to our hospital. Of course, the guys were angry with them, but they let him live...

- Not many mercenaries in the field here, actually. There were a few Poles; I did not see any black people. Their SDF soldiers do not fight against us. They only drop into their settlements to be photographed beautifully. Therefore we capture mainly our arms.

- Our snipers are working well. Boys in 2 weeks from "Lobayevka" killed 12 khokhlovs. Scouts in heat observe their positions at night and have already learned how to determine who is who.

"Metis" interrupted his story to receive a report from the scouts who had returned from the mission. Two young guys, drawing icons on the map, vied with each other to tell about an ammunition depot that the Ukrainian armed forces had set up at one of their positions and a tank that had attempted to drive out from the Ternov side unnoticed.

- Great. Come on, seven shells, seven shells at these coordinates... Want some coffee?

But I had to hurry. The day was coming to an end. We didn't say goodbye; we just shook hands in silence. As we were leaving, I heard him smoking one cigarette after another, praising the artillerymen in his "erka" pipe.

Iran says West admits miscalculation after gamble on riots falls flat

🔹Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kan’ani says Western countries bet on a losing horse when they put all their weight behind the recent riots across Iran, noting that they have now admitted their miscalculation concerning the violent unrest.

Everything is written correctly, especially about what Ukraine could have become if it had chosen a different vector of state building in 1991. For example, federal. A multilingual country in which Ukrainians, Russians, Hungarians and, in general, all the nations inhabiting Ukraine would have a great life. It would be logical and reasonable. And many of the problems that emerged later would have been nipped in the bud.

The only problem is that a normal, prosperous Ukraine was not at all in the interests of the West. They read Brzezinski there and imagined that if they make Anti-Russia out of Ukraine, then their centuries-old dream of eliminating the vast Russian space on the Eurasian continent will come true.
They counted, of course. They won't like the result much, and that's fine.

As for the words of the American human rights activist, so far such opinions are marginal, but ... they are heard more and more often. Smart people understand that there is no country as such. There is a debt black hole in which the economy and the population are being utilized, moreover, the rate of utilization is accelerating. And there is a large-scale project to launder the dough, which is put into a washing machine called Ukraine in billions.

Leonid Eduardovich accurately noted that Ukraine has lost its sovereignty, and I will only add that she did it with joy. An independent Ukraine can only be independent together with Russia. Otherwise, she needs to lie under someone - under the Germans, Poles, or Americans. The law of life is such and it cannot be changed.
