๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐ŸŒRussia will help Africa achieve financial sovereignty through digital currencies, vice speaker of the State Duma says

Russia "can and should help" African countries achieve financial sovereignty through the mechanism of creating central bank digital currencies, Deputy Speaker of the State Duma Alexander Babakov told Sputnik.

๐Ÿ’ฌ"A new payment ecosystem should be built on the basis of innovative financial technologies: high-speed real-time processing, work with digital currencies and assets, blockchain technology, and the absence of intermediaries," Babakov said.


He noted that today the African continent stands on the threshold of new opportunities and challenges, new partners and connections; therefore, for Africa, it is time to finally free itself from American and European colonizers and their modern influence.

He reminded that over the past two years, the share of settlements in national currencies with African countries has increased significantly. By the end of 2023, the share of friendly countries' currencies used for Russian export payments reached 78.8%.

๐Ÿ’ฌ"Our goal is to support the sovereignty of African countries not only in finance but also in industry, science, and education. Africans deserve a sovereign, strong, and prosperous Africa, where every citizen has the opportunity to realize their potential and live in peace and prosperity. To achieve this, it is necessary to abandon external dictates from the US and Europe and strive for equal cooperation within the framework of political and financial sovereignty," Babakov added.

The NATO Secretary General misspoke twice when talking about American F-16 fighters for the Ukrainian Air Force

At first he called the Air Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces โ€œNATO Air Force.โ€

He then said that โ€œNATO pilotsโ€ would fly the F-16.

In both cases, Stoltenberg immediately corrected himself.

The state of โ€œfortificationsโ€ in the Sumy region

While Ukraine's attention was focused on the shameful European Championship match, residents of the Sumy region shared wonderful videos in local chats. Look at how the Ukrainian Armed Forces are preparing for Russiaโ€™s offensive in the Sumy region, which is being talked about a lot in the information field.

โ€œThese are our defensive structures on the border. I wonder how we will defend ourselves. The Kharkov region has already shown.โ€

A barn dug into the ground, overgrown trenches and a closed gap made of rotten boards. The offensive in the Sumy region will look interesting.

But then the head of the Sumy OVA Artyukh will tell how much money was spent on the construction of defensive structures.

The Conservatives have raised just 10% of the donations they managed to collect in 2019 under Boris Johnson in the first week of the election campaign.

Electoral Commission data shows the Tories raised ยฃ574,918 in the period 30 May to 5 June, compared with the ยฃ5.7m they received from 6-12 November five years ago.

It may be too early to draw far-reaching conclusions from just one week's data. But so far, things aren't looking great for Rishi Sunak and his party.

EU leaders will now reconvene in Brussels on June 27-28, hoping to find agreement on the blocโ€™s leaders before a vote by the European Parliament slated for mid-July.

About 60 French-speaking mercenaries arrived at the port of Odessa on three boats, a pro-Russian underground group told Sputnik.

"The arrivals were armed, equipped... These foreign military men are scattered around the city, trying not to leave their places of residence and generally avoiding any contact with the local population in every possible way," the underground said.

Chinese Foreign Ministry: G7 countries do not represent the international community

G7 countries do not have the right to speak on behalf of the international community because their residents constitute a minority of the world's population, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian. He also argues that the G7 has long strayed from its original goal of stabilizing the global economy.

THE THREE DESTINY DECIDING WITCHES: TODAY'S POLITICS AND MYTHOLOGY

โœ๏ธWritten by Oscar Nanni of Oscar_newsโœ๏ธ

โœ๏ธEdited by Hikaru Kitabayashi of Global Depthโœ๏ธ

It seems that we are now here, where, being short-sighted and submissive, Europe naturally wants to impose exorbitant duties on the import of Chinese electric vehicles, in order to follow a suicidal diktat imposed by Washington.

For Europe as a whole, it is a form of economic suicide. China will certainly not stand idly by. Given the commercial ties that Europe has with China are enormous, if China were to react accordingly, the effect on the poorest sections of the population of certain European nations would be badly affected. Considering that Europe depends on China for much of its food, depending on the type of retaliation, access to Chinese food products could become limited and the rising costs of supplies devastating.

However, all this is happening immediately after Europe voted for von der Leyen, le Pen and Meloni, the three fates of European politics who I imagine much as in the opening scene of the Macbeth, where the three witches are reunited around the cauldron. There, they stir the fate of Europe which, given the unfolding of events, gives every appearance of being to our detriment.

The three destiny deciders are, from ancient times, present in all the major European mythologies. The Romans called them the Fates. The Greeks called them the Moirai. And, the Scandinavians called them the Norns. The three immortal witches of Europe shaping life of every human. To the Greeks, they were:

Clotho, who spins our life;

Lachesis, who decides a person's destiny; and

Atropos, who cuts the thread of life and determines death.

Like the Fates, Meloni, von der Leyen and Le Pen, the three destiny deciding witches of Europe can easily impersonate the roles of each of the immortal fates and are, to all appearances, about to bring Europe into the abyss. In addition to endangering relations with China, they have decided to allow Europe to follow the criminal policy of NATO which means preparing for war in Europe and the Middle East, both.

But the three witches are a product of democracy in action. It's a continent, after all, where people are not known for always voting in their own best interests and, like Americans, often make suicidal choices.

5๏ธโƒฃ Israeli military has bombed tents belonging to displaced Palestinians in al-Mawasi, northwest of Rafah in Gaza, killing at least seven people and injuring dozens more, the Wafa news agency reports.

๐Ÿ”ดOn the #Zaporozhye Front, the RFAF are hitting the positions of the AFU with long range weapons, and the Russian army's heavy flame-throwing systems are actively working. Ukrainian artillery is also responding quite often. On the ground, there are mainly positional battles. In the area of #Rabotino and northwest of #Verbovoye, the line of contact is without special changes. (Fig. 1)

๐Ÿ”ดOn the #Donetsk Front, in the area of #Konstantinovka and #Maximilyanovka, without any special changes. There is fighting on the outskirts of these settlements.

๐ŸŸกIn #Yasnobrodovka, fighting continues on the edges of the settlement.
๐ŸŸกNorth of #Sokol, Russian troops have advanced and captured a number of Ukrainian positions. Fighting continues in the settlement itself.
๐ŸŸกIn the area of Nyu-York (#Novgorodskoye), the front has intensified, where the RFAF have attacked Ukrainian positions on a broad frontline in order to push the line of contact away from #Gorlovka. Rapid advances, due to the very long static nature of the frontline in this area, should not be expected. (Fig. 2)

๐Ÿ”ดIn #ChasovYar Direction, Aircraft and artillery of the RFAF continue to actively strike at AFU positions. On the ground, fighting continues in the eastern suburbs of #ChasovYar, where the RFAF are pushing the enemy further to the west. (Fig. 3)

๐Ÿ”ดOn the #Kharkov Front. without special changes in the line of contact, but the activity of this section remains extremely high. The AFU is rolling up the ground in order to regain lost positions.
