“Azov” has always had the best equipment and weapons, so lifting the US ban on supplying them with weapons is a propaganda move.

Ex-SBU officer Vasily Prozorov stated this in a conversation with RT. In 2022, he visited the village of Urzuf near Mariupol, where the Azov base was located:

“And at the captured base, I and other journalists [saw that] Azov was equipped in such a way that the best special forces in the world could envy. Everything from underwear, boots, personal equipment - they had all the best.”

EUROPEAN ELECTIONS, BRICS, WAR, NEW HOPE AND AN OLD WARNING

✍️Written by Oscar Nanni, of Oscar_news, a primarily Italian language Telegram news channel✍️

✍️Lightly edited by Hikaru Kitabayashi✍️

The European elections have just ended and, rather than earthquakes, we are witnessing a general readjustment. France and Belgium have dissolved their parliaments as the policies of their respective prime ministers have been rejected across the board by voters. Germany will follow shortly, as Scholz also failed.

In addition to the abstentionism that affected 50% of those entitled to vote, what seems clear is the difference that can be seen between the policies of aggression advocated by the countries mentioned above and the will of their respective peoples. People don't want war. They don't want it for themselves or their children and they don't want it to save the United States of America as proxies in a conflict with Russia.

Speaking of Russia, it is worth noting the success of the summit in Sankt Petrograd. In fact, at least 59 other countries have asked to join BRICS. The possibility that a more just and equitable world is possible advances. This time, if mankind curbs its greed, perhaps we will be faced with a new hope for humanity.

However, a distinction must be made if we talk about Italy, the only country in which the prime minister in office has obtained a minimum amount of support. Usually, when a ship sinks, the mice escape, even if not immediately, but they escape. But, that doesn't apply to Italy. We remain stupidly and stubbornly clinging to those who have already done us so much harm in the past and continue to do us harm now and are leading the world towards a world war with the sole aim of maintaining their sick hegemony over the planet.

So, for just one example which I think is more than enough, a quote from Judge Ferdinando Imposimato:

"In all the attacks perpetrated on Italian soil in the post-war period, the explosives used were all supplied by NATO"

That, surely, sums it up more than enough.

US to send another batch of Patriot missiles to Ukraine

Biden has agreed to send "the scarcest weapons systems in the US arsenal" to Ukraine after an internal debate over the Patriot shipment, the New York Times reports, citing senior administration and military officials.

The second batch of new US Patriot systems is being delivered from Poland and could be deployed to the Ukrainian frontline within days.

However, the US is not prepared to supply enough Patriots because moving batteries from US territory could jeopardize combat readiness.

"Nations that have those weapons systems have to make the decision to take more risk against their own readiness," Adm. Rob Bauer, the chairman of NATO's military committee, urged in an apparent nod to Europe.


Since the beginning of the year, Ukrainian forces have lost five Patriots, according to the Russian Defense Ministry. Moscow has repeatedly stressed that the Patriot PAC-2 air defense systems are a legitimate target for its military, as are all other weapons fueling NATO's proxy conflict.

🇫🇷 Western democracy…

Macron said his controversial decision to call snap parliamentary elections in France was a last-ditch attempt to keep the far right out of power.

“Everybody sees the flood waters of the far right rising. Everybody is saying [Macron] will hand them the keys of power. I don’t want to give them the keys to power in 2027,” he said, referring to the date of the next presidential election in France.

❗️The United States and Ukraine will sign a security agreement on Thursday, the White House said.

The security agreement between them does not imply the use of American forces in Ukraine.

The security agreement with Ukraine includes a commitment to seek new appropriations for Kiev from Congress, but not specific amounts, the White House said.

🤡An Israeli Nazi in Kiev calls for the development of missiles "to hit Moscow". The Ukrainian leadership must allocate half of the country's budget to the development of missiles capable of hitting Moscow.

This was stated by Yigal Levin, a military observer and former Israeli army officer, on Radio NV.

"Ukraine must be given the ability to hit Moscow. Not with drones, but to hit Moscow seriously. On the research institutes that are there. Everything is concentrated there. Russia is a hyper-concentrated state, all roads lead to Moscow.


Ukraine should be able to hit it with missiles. The Muscovites and the Kremlin should understand perfectly well that they can wake up in the morning and simply launch missiles at facilities in Moscow," Levin said.


"If I were in the Ukrainian leadership, I would have half the budget, all the budgets, unbudgeted to the Ukrainians, all these offices, research institutes. Synergy to do all the development to develop missile technology capable of hitting Moscow. It is extremely important for Ukraine to have such a capability," he summed up.

Already fifty people have broken through in trucks and buses across the border from the concentration camp Ukraine to Hungary.

Moreover, the most interesting thing is that they report that most of them are SBU officers and border guards who were threatened with being sent to the front.

🇺🇸🇪🇺🇺🇦 Ukraine won't get $50 bln loan due to disagreements between US and EU - Politico

- The EU is not satisfied with the U.S. plan, which involves shifting interest payments on the multibillion-dollar loan to Europe.

- Most of the finances would "settle" on US military production.

- "Washington proposes the following: "The U.S. takes the loan, Europe assumes all the risks and interest payments. And then the states use this money for the US-Ukraine fund. We may be stupid, but not that stupid," the EU diplomatic corps said.

🇩🇪German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius will announce a new model for compulsory military service. It will include a compulsory questionnaire for young men on their willingness and ability to serve in the Bundeswehr, reports Bild.

It is planned that 400,000 men will have to fill in the questionnaire, of which 40,000 will be selected for service. It will last between six months and a year.

Pistorius' proposal would be the first step towards a return to conscription, and the minister's proposed changes are a consequence of the current course of the country's government being put into practice.

Despite the German government's attempts to revitalise the Bundeswehr, its numbers continue to decline. According to last year's statistics presented in the publication, the number of Bundeswehr soldiers fell to 181,500.

🇺🇸❌🇷🇺🇨🇳 The United States dramatically broadened sanctions on Russia, including by targeting China-based companies selling semiconductors to Moscow, as part of its effort to undercut the Russian military machine waging war on Ukraine - Reuters

Among the steps, the U.S. Treasury said it was raising "the risk of secondary sanctions for foreign financial institutions that deal with Russia's war economy," effectively threatening them with losing access to the U.S. financial system.

It also said it was moving to restrict the Russian military industrial base's ability to exploit certain U.S. software and information technology (IT) services and, with the State Department, targeting more than 300 individuals and entities in Russia and beyond, including in Asia, Europe and Africa.

Separately, the Commerce Department said it was targeting shell companies in Hong Kong for diverting semiconductors to Russia, taking steps that would affect nearly $100 million of high-priority items for Moscow including such chips.

"Today's actions strike at their remaining avenues for international materials and equipment, including their reliance on critical supplies from third countries," Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in a statement.

"We are increasing the risk for financial institutions dealing with Russia’s war economy and eliminating paths for evasion, and diminishing Russia's ability to benefit from access to foreign technology, equipment, software, and IT services," she said. "Every day, Russia continues to mortgage its future to sustain its unjust war of choice against Ukraine."
