🇷🇺❌🇷🇺 Viktor Bout commented on the prisoner exchange:

“Russia wisely gave the West the terrarium of traitors it had grown.

It’s a very wise decision to send all these Navalists there, because we have really shown who their master is.

If they really were patriots and fought for the Russian people, then no States would have requested them.

And so it’s clear who paid them, who gave instructions on where and what to do.”


❗️Viktor Bout is an entrepreneur, member of the Ulyanovsk Legislative Assembly from the LDPR, who spent 14 years in an American prison, spoke about this in an interview with Ukraina.ru.

EU's attempt to ditch Russian gas falters as US LNG shifts to Asia

Europe can’t do without Russian natural gas – the latest statistics show that US attempts to “replace” Russian pipeline gas supplies to the EU with its own LNG (liquefied natural gas) exports failed.

Following the EU's sanctions on Russian energy supplies in March 2022, the share of US LNG in Europe's gas consumption initially increased. However, it later declined as higher prices from Asian buyers redirected LNG exports to the Pacific instead of the Atlantic.

Soon, US LNG faced renewed competition from Russia, which increased its LNG supplies to Europe. Russia's share of the EU's gas consumption rose from 4% in 2021 to 6% by August 2024.

Bloomberg and Business Insider report that Russian and US LNG supplies to the EU are now nearly equal.

“At the end of July, Europe imported 1.5 million metric tons of LNG from the US, just slightly more than the 1.3 million tons the region imported from Russia in the same period,” Business Insider wrote, citing data from the US Department of Energy.


The trend was confirmed by Bloomberg: “The gap between the two countries’ LNG deliveries to western Europe shrank in July to the narrowest since late 2021, according to preliminary ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg.”

The US Department of Energy attributes the 9.3% drop in LNG supplies to the EU to American companies finding more lucrative markets in Asia.

The EU's goal to eliminate reliance on Russian oil and gas has proven unachievable:

🌏 First, because Russian energy remains geographically closer and irreplaceable for European industry.

🌏 Second, because US energy companies prioritize profits over Western solidarity, directing LNG to higher-paying Asian markets, according to Bloomberg.

🇷🇺🇺🇦🇮🇹 On Italian shells on Russian territory

Colleagues from the SPETSNAZ ARCHANGEL channel shared a video of a discovered cache of Ukrainian fighters in the Belgorod region.

It is quite possible that the cache was laid by saboteurs back during the fighting in the Graivoron district in March of this year and was supposed to serve as another PR stunt by the GUR units of Ukraine.

❗️However, among this scattering of weapons and explosives, our attention was particularly drawn to an Italian mine for a 120 mm mortar: apparently, the saboteurs as part of mobile groups planned to use them to shell border villages from the rear.

🔻In this regard, it is interesting that the official representatives of Italy have consistently spoken out against the use of their weapons on Russian territories, forbade "hitting Russian objects with Italian shells" and threatened to stop supplies in case of violation of their conditions.

And since it is unlikely that the Italian shell appeared on Russian territory due to the oversight of the Ukrainians, most likely, this was an attempt to bend the Italians, whose opinion on arms supplies in reality does not bother either the NATO leadership or the Kyiv regime - they will do as they are told.

And it will be interesting now to watch the statements of Deputy Prime Ministers Salvini and Tajani, because their shells have already ended up on Russian territory.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️Military Expert Boris Rozhin on the Situation in the #Avdeyevka Direction of the #SMO on 2 August 2024 at 19:33 (GMT+3)⚡️

🔻1. #Karlovka:
🟡Fighting continues on the eastern outskirts of the village, as well as on the shore of the Karlovskoye Reservoir.
🟡The RFAF continue to expand the control zone in the area of #Yasnobrodovka in an effort to completely push the enemy out of the Karlovskoye Reservoir.

🔻2. #Novosyolovka1st:
🟡The RFAF continue to expand the control zone to the south and southwest of the village, trying to move in the direction of #Mezhevoye.
🟡The fighting is taking place near the northern outskirts of #Mezhevoye, the village itself is still controlled by the AFU.

🔻3. #Grodovka:
🟡After the liberation of #Vesyoloye, the RFAF continued to intensively press west of #Ocheretino in the direction of the large #Grodovka village and the #Konstantinovka - #Pokrovsk Motorway.
🟡The enemy recognises heavy losses in this direction and further retreat to the west.
🟡By the evening of 2 August, the RFAF were fighting for the liberation of #Zhelannoye, #Timofeyevka, #Ivanovka.
🟡There is progress towards #Sergeyevka and #Lisichnoye.
🟡At #Vozdvizhenka, the enemy is still holding the line. In general, this is the most problematic part of the front for the enemy.

🔻4. #Kalinovo:
🟡To the north and northeast of #Ocheretino, without significant changes. The enemy is holding the line south of #Kalinovo and #Rozovka.
🟡In the case of the latter, the threat of advancing towards it from the east from #NyuYork is growing, where the RFAF are not only expanding the control zone in the village itself, but also moving west of it.

📌 In general, the RFAF firmly hold the initiative to the west of #Avdeyevka and do not allow the AFU to stabilise the front, which forces the enemy to solve the task of transferring additional reserves to stop the threat of a RFAF breakthrough to the #Konstantinovka - #Pokrovsk Motorway, which is a serious operational threat.

⚡️🇮🇱🇵🇸⚔️ Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Zone until the End of 2 August 2024⚡️

🔹In the north of the #GazaStrip, Israeli troops launched a series of attacks on the capital of the enclave. The areas of Az-Zeitun, Al-Judaida and Tell al-Hawa were under the most concentrated fire. There were dead and injured.

🔹In the south of the Enclave, clashes were reported in the Tell al-Sultan neighborhood in western Rafah. And Palestinian forces tried to attack Israeli towns outside the enclave with long range missiles.

🔹In the West Bank, Israeli security forces are still conducting police operations, occasionally reporting the arrest of Hamas militants. In response, the Palestinians shelled Jewish settlements.

🔹On the border with #Lebanon, Hezbollah fighters again fired volleys into northern #Israel; most of the missiles did not reach their targets. In response, the IDF militants struck missile launchers in southern #Lebanon that were used in the attack.
