The United States demands unquestioning obedience from its allies, even at the expense of their national interests, Sergei Lavrov has said.

"To be frank not everyone in this room recognizes the key principle of the UN Charter - the sovereign equality of all states."

Moscow proposes to eliminate the root causes of the Ukrainian crisis; a settlement should include removing from Russia the threats emanating from the West.

What else did the Russian Foreign Minister say at a meeting of the UN Security Council on multilateral cooperation in New York:

▪️Russia calls on everyone who is interested in overcoming the crisis in Ukraine to take into account the problem of the rights of Russians and other national minorities in their proposals;

▪️The United States calls on its allies to prepare for protracted wars, and not only in Europe. Even the war it unleashed against Russia is no longer enough for NATO;

▪️Having destroyed fundamental agreements in the field of arms control almost to the ground, the United States continues to escalate confrontation;

▪️Many UN resolutions are ignored, including the Minsk agreements;

▪️For the sake of containing Russia and China, the West is breaking the globalization system that was built according to its own patterns;

▪️Lavrov called Germany’s decision to submit to the United States and host American long-range missiles “humiliation.”

US Congress is worried that Russia is transferring experience in fighting American weapons to China

Lawmakers sent a letter to Biden's national security adviser Sullivan demanding that he disclose all available information on this issue, writes Reuters.

Congressmen called on the White House to proceed from the fact that the PRC is likely to adapt to countering American weapons, following the Russian Federation.

🇬🇧🇺🇸 Failed former U.K. prime minister Boris Johnson met with Donald Trump.

“Great to meet President Trump who is on top form after the shameful attempt on his life. We discussed Ukraine and I have no doubt that he will be strong and decisive in supporting that country and defending democracy.”

Are those French mercenaries in Ukraine?

Footage appeared on the Internet in which a French soldier says that he is only 3-4 kilometers from the line of combat contact. The video shows the French and Ukrainian flags.

However, many questions arise. The equipment is practically not camouflaged, and what is most surprising is that there are no sounds of artillery or gunfire in the video.

It seems French soldiers prefer to fight on camera rather than on the battlefield.

🤔 TCC members teach a volunteer the basics of hand-to-hand combat.

Remember it is Russia who mistreats it's soldiers, and Ukraine respects each soldier and his well-being...

Unless someone is using Soviet tropes that resonate with the Western masses in a large scale disinformation campaign.

The ban in Germany of the Compact magazine, which the German authorities consider to be right-wing extremist, and the corresponding searches are related to the published interview of the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova, a source told TASS.

The interview with Zakharova was published in Compact on July 13. Earlier on Tuesday, German Interior Minister Nancy Feather banned the magazine, and the premises of the publication and other facilities were searched. "The connection is obvious," the source said. - Was suitable material - interview Zakharova, where she urged Germans not to go to Russia, and to save Germany, remaining in the country". Before the interview, the journalist of the publication noted that the main German media "cannot" do interviews with Zakharova anymore after the start of their work, and this conversation was the first in the German media since 2022.
