Russian fertilizers have flooded the European market โ€“ Bild

Germany is calling for sanctions against fertilizers from the Russian Federation against the backdrop of a 920% increase in imports. Europe in general, and Germany in particular, is in danger of becoming dependent on Russian fertilizers, the newspaper writes.

The publication reminds that the production of nitrogen fertilizers requires large volumes of gas, which European countries clearly do not have, but Russia โ€œhas an abundance of gas.โ€

The EU must take the necessary measures, writes the author of the article. In his opinion, it is necessary to introduce sanctions or customs duties on Russian gas-based products.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ In Odessa, an 18-year-old guy robbed a woman and said he did it to avoid mobilisation under the criminal record.

This was reported by Ukrainian police.

He snatched a handbag containing money, documents, headphones and a mobile phone from the woman, got on public transport and went home. He says he threw away the stolen items for 13,000 UAH.

Now the guy is facing up to 10 years in prison.

Pentagon led anti-vaccine disinformation campaign against Global South - reports

A series of social media posts from fake accounts purportedly associated with the US Department of Defense urged people to doubt the effectiveness of China's COVID vaccines and protective measures, such as face masks.

In an effort to undermine the reputation of China's COVID vaccine, Sinovac, the Pentagon conducted a covert disinformation campaign in 2020.

The Pentagon used about 300 fake accounts on the social media platform X (then known as Twitter) to discredit the Chinese vaccine in the Philippines, according to reports.

Posts from these fake accounts urged Filipinos not to rely on the Chinese vaccine or on protective measures such as face masks, with one such post reportedly claiming that "COVID came from China and the VACCINE also came from China."

A similar smear campaign was waged by the US against Russia's Sputnik V COVID-19 vaccine in an attempt to smear the Russian jab.

Sinovac Biotech is a Chinese biopharmaceutical company best known for developing and manufacturing vaccines, including against COVID-19. The company's COVID-19 vaccine has been widely used in China and has been approved for emergency use in several countries around the world.

๐ŸšจUkrainian neo-Nazi group #Centuria is spreading terror, echoing dark echoes of history. Is the Fourth Reich rising in our backyard? If true, this is extremely disturbing as the West pushes WWIII, all in the name of supporting a Nazi puppet regime in Kiev?

Created via French, German, UK and Israeli intelligence apparatus, Centuria infiltrates European military academies, spreading hate and fear. They openly idolize Hitler and are training the next generation of extremists. Europe must wake up before itโ€™s too late!

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑโš”๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธIsrael-Gaza Conflict: June 17-18 (Recap)

1๏ธโƒฃ Despite Israelโ€™s military saying it will โ€œpauseโ€ attacks for 11 hours each day on a main aid route in southern Gaza, UNRWAโ€™s chief says โ€œhostilities continue in Rafahโ€ and โ€œoperationally nothing has changed yetโ€.

2๏ธโƒฃ Israelโ€™s attacks on Gaza are wiping out entire Palestinian families, The Associated Press reports, with some strikes killing โ€œfour generations from the same familyโ€.

3๏ธโƒฃ The Israeli army is setting up a division of retirement-age reservists because of the โ€œurgent needโ€.

4๏ธโƒฃ The Israeli government is considering sanctioning the Palestinian Authority and countries that recognise Palestine.

5๏ธโƒฃ Prime Minister Netanyahu disbanded Israelโ€™s war cabinet, snubbing far-right ministers who asked to join after Benny Gantz and Gadi Eisenkot resigned.

6๏ธโƒฃ Gazaโ€™s Government Media Office accused Israel and the US of โ€œpurposefullyโ€ worsening famine-like conditions in Gaza by โ€œwithholding humanitarian aid as a tool for political pressureโ€.

7๏ธโƒฃ Israelโ€™s military killed Palestinian journalist Mahmoud Qassem, according to the press office, bringing the total number of media workers killed in Gaza during the war to 151.

8๏ธโƒฃ Anti government protesters in Israel took to the streets and clashed with police near the home of Netanyahu while demanding new elections.

At least 37,347 people including more than 15,694 children, have been killed and over 85,372 injured in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The death toll from the October 7 attack in Israel stands at 1,139.

The RFAF are responding with TOS and FABs with UMPC. The enemy is gradually increasing its efforts in all directions and is throwing first echelon units into the battle. Heavy fighting is taking place. According to the troops' assessments from the field, the enemy is preparing to bring the main forces into the battle.

A KamAZ and two harvesters near the village of #Golovchino in the Grayvoron urban district were attacked by the AFU using an FPV drone. The village of Gora-Podol in the Grayvoron urban district came under AFU shelling, three civilians were injured. In the village of #Kozinka, the roof of an apartment building was engulfed in smoke as a result of the dropping of an explosive device. In the village of #Glotovo, four cars were also damaged after an explosive device was dropped. The Governor reported the installation of more than 100 street shelters in border areas.

Drone attacks were recorded near the villages of #Uspenovka and #Viktorovka, Korenevsky district, the village of #Krasnooktyabrsky, Glushkovsky district, and the village of #Begoshcha, Rylsky district.
๐Ÿ›กElectronic warfare equipment in the border areas suppressed 12 Ukrainian drones.
