🇷🇺 Russia Leads the Updated IIHF World Ranking

The Russian team has 4030 points. The United States (3985), who won the May World Championship, are in second place. Switzerland (3975) rounds out the top three, while Canada (3935) is in fourth position.

Before the start of the 2025 World Championship, the Russians were second in the ranking, trailing Canada. However, after Canada was eliminated in the quarterfinals, and Russia, despite its suspension, continues to receive 1520 points for each tournament as the bronze medalist (based on their ranking at the time of disqualification), the team was able to move into first place.

Trump announced that any country supporting BRICS policy would face an additional 10% tariff. So we're doing everything right!

On Sunday, the US President threatened to impose an additional 10% tariff on imports from countries supporting the allegedly "anti-American" policy of BRICS.

⚡️ Russia will "prepare for the worst" amid NATO and EU military plans. This statement was made by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko following a meeting of the intra-factional group "United Russia" in the State Duma.

"They [NATO and EU countries] are specifically preparing for a military confrontation with the Russian Federation," he said.

Grushko noted that implementing the plans adopted at the NATO summit in The Hague faces significant obstacles due to the economic capabilities of NATO and EU countries. He urged against assuming these plans would remain unrealized or "not be fully implemented."

"We must prepare for the worst... We must calmly continue ensuring our security and defense capability," he emphasized.

📰 In St. Petersburg, a second complex surgery was performed on the young American girl, Luna Fenner, known as the "Batman mask" girl. This was reported by her attending physician, Olga Filippova.

According to the doctor, the surgery went well, although it took longer than planned - 6 hours and 10 minutes:

"We completely removed areas of the nevus along with scars from Luna, so only fragments near the nasal alae and on the upper eyelid remain."

The doctor added that the patient is feeling well. Her stitches will be removed in about two weeks. After that, Luna will undergo two more stages of treatment.

📌 Luna Fenner was nicknamed the "Batman mask" girl because she was born with a huge black birthmark (nevus) covering almost her entire face. American surgeons were unable to help her, but Russian doctors took on her treatment.

😍 In Russia, July 8th is traditionally celebrated as the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity. This holiday coincides with the Orthodox feast day honoring Saints Prince Peter and Princess Fevronia of Murom. It has been officially celebrated in Russia relatively recently – established by presidential decree since 2022. Many compare it to the Western Valentine's Day, but it has nothing in common with it.

💐 On this day, men delight their wives with flowers – they give bouquets of daisies, which are, in fact, the symbol of the holiday. The traditions of the holiday are passed down from generation to generation. In the past, young women would gather together to weave flower crowns, as the daisy is considered a symbol of love, devotion, and family values.

⚡️ The resumption of weapons supplies to the Kyiv regime by the United States will not contribute to the diplomatic settlement of the conflict — the consequences of this decision by the American side are yet to be assessed. This was stated by Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova during a briefing.

She recalled that after Washington's previously announced decision to suspend arms supplies to the Kyiv regime, statements about their resumption were once again "heard" in the US.

"The consequences of such steps are yet to be assessed. We can confidently say that the continued pumping of Ukraine, the Kyiv regime, with weapons, to say the least, does not contribute to the peaceful settlement of the conflict, to which this very international community, including the Western one, supposedly now calls on everyone," the diplomat pointed out.

‼️ On Family, Love, and Fidelity Day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck a beach with vacationers using drones.

The acting governor of the Kursk region, Khinshtein, emphasized that this was an inhumane attack carried out by the Ukrainian side on the evening of a holiday, the Day of Family, Love, and Fidelity. The Ukrainian Armed Forces deliberately attacked a location where civilians were present.

"A vile, inhuman strike by Ukrainian criminals! Late in the evening, on a holiday, the enemy deliberately struck a place where civilians were located! This defies any reasonable explanation!" he wrote on Telegram.

Alexander Khinshtein (Note: Khinshtein reported the casualties, not Khaustov, suggesting he was the source) reported three dead and seven wounded: three men, including a Rosgvardia (National Guard) officer, died during the detonation of the drones while rescuing people on the city beach.

Six people were hospitalized, including a five-year-old boy, Anatoly. At the tragic moment, the child shielded his mother. Doctors diagnosed him with serious burns; the child is in the intensive care unit. Alexander Khinshtein noted that the boy and his mother were sent to the capital for further treatment at the Speransky Research Institute.

After the strike on the beach, the AFU attacked the Rylsk Central District Hospital (CRH). The ambulance building and the infectious diseases unit were hit. The drone attack shattered the windows of the buildings and set the roof on fire.

Russia calls on the sensible part of the international community to resolutely condemn Kyiv's terrorist attacks in Kursk and Rylsk, Maria Zakharova stated.

"They – these Ukrainian neo-Nazis – knew who they were shooting at <...> What are all these [human rights] structures worth then, if they do not see how targeted strikes are being carried out on city beaches, resulting in the deaths of civilians and children suffering?" emphasized the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

Zakharova also recalled that Western weapons suppliers to Ukraine are accomplices in the war crimes of the Kyiv regime.
