One of the free politician is a Kurd and she has said she would vote against the Prime minister if she expel these 73 Kurds. If she and all the parties on the right vote against her- the Prime minister lose So the Prime minister is in a kind of dilemma- She want Sweden be part of EU, but she want to stay in power until autumn where there's election to the Swedish Riksdag. I could have missed something-I haven't been focusing on the Swedish news lately. Markus

Putin issues horror deadline to Bulgaria as Russia intensifies threats to Europe
The news comes as Bulgaria has declared 70 Russian officials as "persona non grata" on allegations of espionage incompatible with their diplomatic missions. Justifying the move, Prime Minister Kiril Petkov said: "This is what happens when foreign governments try to interfere in Bulgaria's internal affairs." The decision had been taken based on information gathered by the Bulgarian secret services, refusing to comment further. Yet Putin has reacted angrily, giving Bulgaria until 12:00 noon today to reverse the decision or risk the notion of severing diplomatic ties between Moscow and Sofia. Speaking of the move, the Russian Ambassador to Bulgaria Eleonora Mitrofanova made it clear that Russia could recall all its 114 diplomats and close the embassy and the Russian consulates altogether. She said: "Russia is considering severing diplomatic relations with Bulgaria over the scandal with the expelled 70 Russian diplomats." The top official said Bulgaria's actions were being seen by Moscow as "unprecedented". https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world...d323b22269cc5f

Elite Russian regiment fights for public support
One of Russia's elite fighting forces, the 331st Guards Parachute regiment, is back in Ukraine after suffering heavy losses at the start of the war. State media tells a story of the unit's great heroism, but back in the regiment's hometown support for the fighters looks less certain. Glimpsed on the official Rossiya channel earlier in June, an armoured vehicle races up to a field hospital carrying several badly-injured men in the Donbas battleground. "The [Ukrainian] tank was firing at us," one of the Russian paratroopers explains, as his wounds are dressed, "...first near us, then straight at us." These flashes of the bloody reality of this war are rare, but acknowledgements of the price being paid by the army are becoming less so.

Ukraine demands seizure of Russian-flagged grain ship
There is mounting evidence that Russian forces in occupied areas of Ukraine are systematically stealing grain and other produce from local farmers, contributing to a grain shortage and a global food crisis. Ukraine claims that some of the stolen grain has been transported in a ship from a Russian-occupied part of the country, and has called for the ship to be seized. The BBC's Reality Check team has monitored the Russian-flagged ship, the Zhibek Zholy, on its route from the Ukrainian port of Berdyansk to the Turkish port of Karasu. It is not clear where its cargo came from or how it was obtained, but Russia has been accused of stealing grain from areas of Ukraine it controls.

Snake Island: Why Russia couldn't hold on to strategic Black Sea outcrop
This tiny, rocky outcrop in the north-west of the Black Sea was seized by Russia on the first day of its invasion of Ukraine, and it has played an outsized role in the war ever since. After more than four months of repeated Ukrainian bombardment, Russian forces have abandoned Snake or Zmiinyi Island, as it is known in Ukraine. Russia says it has withdrawn its garrison as a "gesture of goodwill" to prove it was not obstructing grain exports, but Ukraine dismissed that claim, as Moscow continued to shell its grain stores. The island is exposed to attacks from all directions from air and sea, and the small garrison tasked with defending it - first Ukrainians and later Russians - has been described as "sitting ducks" by military experts. Seized by the Russians on 24 February, Snake Island is located just 35km (22 miles) off Ukraine's coast - well within the range of missile, artillery and drone strikes from the shore. And Ukraine's armed forces have done exactly that, claiming a series of devastating attacks on the island itself and any vessel bringing troop deployments and heavy weaponry.

Ukrainian forces withdraw from the city Lysychansk to avoid a large encirclement very few reports of fighting in the city, backed up by the fact that Russian media personnel appear to have entered very quickly the Chechen's are parading around, so that basically confirms there wasn’t any heavy fighting in the city.

"The Kremlin is likely setting conditions for crypto-mobilization of the Russian economy in preparation for a protracted war in Ukraine. The Kremlin proposed an amendment to federal laws on Russian Armed Forces supply matters to the Russian State Duma on June 30, that would introduce “special measures in the economic sphere” obliging Russian businesses (regardless of ownership) to supply Russian special military and counterterrorist operations.[1] The amendment would prohibit Russian businesses from refusing to accept state orders for special military operations and allow the Kremlin to change employee contracts and work conditions, such as forcing workers to work during the night or federal holidays. The Kremlin noted in the amendment’s description that the ongoing special military operation in Ukraine exposed supply shortages, specifically materials needed to repair military equipment, and stated that Russian officials need to “concentrate their efforts in certain sectors of the economy." Russian President Vladimir Putin is likely mobilizing the Russian economy and industry to sustain the ongoing war effort, but has not yet taken parallel measures to mobilize Russian manpower on a large scale." https://understandingwar.org/backgro...essment-july-1
Back to Bolshevik rule, this is how good the Russian economy is that they need communist measures to fund the invasion, only thing communism is at its best war economics. |

Belarusian journalist Franak Vyachorka said on https://global.espreso.tv/ that the military of Belarus is not preparing for offensive operations. They are very scared and afraid that they will be forced to cross the border into Ukraine. And even the middle officers are also not ready for combat.

In Belarus, a group of senior military officers in a Special Forces unit, in the ranks from captain to colonel, reportedly signed an open letter to the de facto ruler Lukashenko, openly speaking against potential Belarusian participation in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
" Open letter from servicemen of the 5th special operations brigade of the Belarus Republic Armed Forces Dear Aleksandr Grigoryevich! Personnel of the 5th special operation's brigade of the Armed Forces, in accordance with the Constitution and the laws of the Republic of Belarus, is carrying out tasks of ensuring security and the armed defence of the Republic of Belarus, its sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and constitutional order. Without exception, all servicemen of the brigade are ready to defend the borders of our motherland till the last drop of blood, despite any difficulties and hardships of the service. At the moment, officers of the 5th special operations brigade are observing gross violations of the 1st article of the Constitution of the Republic of Belarus by the highest political authorities of the Russian Federation. According to this article, “the Republic of Belarus possesses dominance and full powers in its own territory, independently carries out internal and external politics”. Occupation by the Russian Federation of internationally recognised territories of the friendly to us state of Ukraine, attempts of the president of the RF V. V. Putin to pull the Republic of Belarus into an unprovoked war against a sovereign state is nothing but a destruction of the sovereignty of the Republic of Belarus. As a result of the military aggression, the Russian Federation already ended up in an international economical and political isolation, which in essence rapidly destroys the economy of the country. The Republic of Belarus is a democratic, social and legal state. According to the 2nd article of the Constitution, individual is a supreme value and a goal of the state, as well as individual’s rights, freedoms and guarantees of their implementation. Support of the RF president Vladimir Putin in his aggression against Ukraine will lead to massive human casualties among military and civilians. Entering a war against Ukraine as well as European countries and the USA who support Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders will remove the Republic of Belarus from the community of civilised states, will make our state an outcast for years to come. Entering the war on Russia’s side will be a suicide for the Republic of Belarus. The political isolation and international economic sanctions, which will inevitably follow the aggression towards Ukraine, will be devastating for our country, which unlike the RF does not have the same safety measures in the form of natural resources. Taking the above into account, the personnel of the 5th special operations brigade appeals to you, dear Aleksandr Grigoryevich, with a call to not sacrifice the people of Belarus, the future of our children, sovereignty of the state you are leading to please the imperial ambitions of the President of the Russian Federation, which are alien to all citizens of Belarus without exceptions. By choosing the military profession we are all ready to give our lives to defend our motherland from aggression. At the same time, by joining an expansionist war against a friendly state, we will lose the right to be called officers in the eyes of our children, and turn into invaders and war criminals. Officers of the 5th special operations brigade of the Armed Forces. Names: Colonel – D. N. Osipchuk Lt. Colonel – V. G. Tolok Lt. Colonel – V. M. Markevich Major – M. G. Grazhdiyeru Major – D. V. Chernabay Major – A. A. Tsimbalyuk Major – P. P. Butrim Major – A. A. Vyazhevich Major – M. P. Bobrovskyi Major – E. V. Kraynyk Captain – V. V. Misyukevich Captain – E. A. Gorbachenko Captain – A. G. Dergachyov Captain – A. V. Gaydorov " https://wartranslated.com/belarus-of...to-lukashenka/ |
