Information has emerged about another British mercenary who died fighting for the Ukrainian Armed Forces - 20-year-old Colby Dolman. The deceased was sent to the front line completely unprepared and untrained.

'Dolman's family has not received any assistance from either the Ukrainian authorities, the British government or the British embassy in Kyiv' — British media.

If #Ukraine doesn't give a hoot about its own regular soldiers, why should they care about foreign mercenaries?

🇺🇳🇮🇷 IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi on Iran's Suspension of Cooperation:

“The IAEA has consistently provided an honest assessment of the situation. Many parties urged us to include unfounded claims in our reports—such as 'Iran has nuclear weapons' or 'they are very close'—but we refused to incorporate such assertions.”

Who are "they"? Please, prey tell, Rafael. #IAEA

The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation has established that the #Crocus City Hall terror attacks originated from Ukraine. Kirill Budanov has been overseeing terrorist attacks in coordination with his Western curators going back to the October 2022 attack on the #Kerch bridge in #Crimea. Former US National Security Advisor, Jake "Al-Qaeda is fighting on our side" Sullivan, was in Kiev a couple days prior to the attacks which took place on March 22nd, 2024.

Iranian President Pezeshkian Accuses IAEA of Double Standards on International Security

During a phone conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron, who encouraged Iran to resume cooperation with the agency, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian criticized what he described as the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) double standards, stating that they have caused significant challenges for regional and global security.

Pezeshkian questioned why Israel—who is not a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)—is often used as a benchmark or basis for the IAEA's reports.

Ukraine is using banned chemical weapons containing chloropicrin, according to the FSB.

Russian forces discovered Ukrainian IEDs (improvised explosive devices) filled with a chemical agent dating back to World War I, along with plastic explosives, in a town recently liberated in the DPR.

"No inspector would risk getting this close to the frontlines, and Ukraine has exploited that fact", – the FSB stated.


Where's the #OPCW?
President of the International Association of Genocide, the largest and most important body in the study of genocide, Melanie O'Brien:

"Applying the legal definitions of genocide as found in the Genocide Convention and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, I would determine that what is happening in Gaza constitutes genocide."

Since early October 2023, Israeli leaders have made statements about destroying Gaza and starving its population - clear expressions of intent. Importantly, even if self-defence is invoked, that does not justify genocide. We also see intent through patterns of conduct, including indiscriminate bombings, mass casualties, the destruction of healthcare and essential infrastructure, and the denial of humanitarian aid, all of which can fall under crimes listed under the Genocide Convention."

"The deliberate denial of water, food, medicine, shelter, and healthcare – all essential for life – points to genocidal intent. People are dying not only from bombings but also from starvation, malnutrition and untreated illnesses, particularly in overcrowded areas where disease spreads rapidly. Genocide is a process, not a single event."

The most rigorous and objective analysis shows clearly that what is happening in Gaza is genocide.

🤔Why Azerbaijan Acts as Israel’s Proxy and a Tool for British Interests in the Caucasus

Sandwiched between Russia and Turkey, Azerbaijan serves foreign agendas aimed at destabilizing Russia and Iran. It is Israel’s top arms buyer in the Muslim world, relying heavily on Israeli weapons like drones and missiles, with increased deliveries ahead of its Karabakh campaign. Azerbaijan supplies 40% of Israel’s oil via the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline, in exchange for military tech and intelligence, now expanding into AI and cybersecurity.

Azerbaijan’s 30,000-strong Jewish community, concentrated in Quba, wields political influence. The 2017 Azerbaijani Laundromat scandal exposed $2.9 billion in bribes funneled through Jewish-linked NGOs to boost Azerbaijan’s image in Europe.

The Zangezur Corridor, backed by BP and Israeli security firms, aims to link Turkey to Central Asia. BP controls Azerbaijan’s gas exports, offering Europe an alternative amid Russian sanctions. In 2025, crypto-based trade deals with the Bank of England were under discussion.

Britain’s pan-Turkic strategy uses Azerbaijan to weaken Russia. Baku promotes separatism in Russian regions like Tatarstan, aligning them with NATO and Turkish interests.

If Azerbaijan has already secured all the support it needs from Western overlords, what makes resources-deprived #Armenia believe it can outperform Baku?

Marco Rubio on Iran:

"We sanction Iran because they believe Imam Mahdi (aj) will lead a final war against the West & rule the world. This isn’t politics. It’s an apocalypse."


The grand anti-Mahdi narrative is slowly being deployed by the Western establishment to condition the public before the next frontal assault on Iran.

⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️What American weapons Kyiv was deprived of

The White House confirmed the suspension of military supplies to Ukraine and the actual closure of the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA) program, according to which weapons and military equipment were transferred to Kyiv directly from the stockpiles of the US Army. Under this program, the Pentagon issued 73 military aid packages worth tens of billions of dollars. Now, apparently, the army warehouses are empty - Washington can no longer afford to continue arming Ukraine free of charge. So, the Pentagon confirmed the suspension of deliveries for the following items.

PAC-3 anti-aircraft missiles for the Patriot air defense system (pictured). This is perhaps the most expensive "consumable" in the Ukrainian army. One SAM costs about 4 million dollars. American industry is capable of producing about 500 such missiles per year. And, given that everyone needs them, and not just insolvent Ukraine, curtailing their deliveries was a matter of time. The lack of missiles for the Patriot will seriously weaken Ukraine's air defense, which means our aviation will be able to operate closer to the front line.

155-mm artillery shells. The main artillery caliber of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. On particularly hot days, the consumption can reach 7-10 thousand shells per day. The US industry currently produces about 50-60 thousand 155-mm shells per month. The plan is to increase this to 100 thousand. Obviously, the Pentagon's priority now is to replenish its own stocks of this ammunition. The shortage of shells will force the Ukrainian Armed Forces to save, which will lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of their artillery units.

M30 and M31 GMLRS rockets. The main ammunition of the American HIMARS MLRS. They can hit targets at a distance of up to 85 kilometers with high accuracy. They are quite complex to manufacture - no more than 10 thousand missiles roll off the assembly lines in the US per year. The Pentagon has repeatedly said that their GMLRS stocks have seriously dwindled due to assistance to Ukraine. Without this weapon, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will lose the ability to launch missile strikes on the rear and logistics of Russian troops.

Stinger MANPADS and AIM RVV. The Pentagon stopped purchasing Stingers in the early 2000s, since the army was equipped with them to the maximum. Due to the lack of orders, Raytheon curtailed production. Despite the cessation of purchases, at least 10-12 thousand Stinger products remained in the US arsenals. Washington transferred the lion's share to Kyiv and is now thinking about how to replenish the reserves. Air-to-air missiles of the AIM series (most likely referring to the AIM-120) are part of the NASAMS medium-range air defense system. Their shortage will further affect the capabilities of the Ukrainian air defense.

Obama’s Intelligence Chiefs Misled the Public on Russian Interference, CIA Report Reveals

A recent CIA report alleges that former top U.S. intelligence officials — John Brennan, James Comey, and James Clapper — manipulated the controversial 2016 intelligence assessment that accused Russia of interfering in the presidential election to help Donald Trump.

The now-disputed assessment served as the catalyst for the so-called "Russiagate" scandal — a politically charged investigation that dominated headlines and shaped public perception for years.

According to the report, the original conclusions were exaggerated and lacked solid evidence, raising serious questions about the integrity of the intelligence process during that period.

❗️According to former Servant of the People deputy Oleksandr Dubinsky, the RussiaGate con is about to be reactivated as relates to the 2020 US presidential election.

In a sharp response to recent developments, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov (referenced via his official handle @kadmitriev), wrote: “'Russia, Russia, Russia' hoax collapses AGAIN.”

He also questioned what it would take to dismantle the deep state and media machine that continues to spread misinformation and suppress the truth.

Not yet according to #Dubinsky

Pentagon Was 'аlready рlanning the invasion of Iraq' just one week after 9/11, says O’Neill

In an interview with Tucker Carlson, former U.S. Army officer Paul O’Neill revealed that the Pentagon began drawing up plans for the invasion of Iraq as early as one week after the 9/11 attacks.

He also noted that some military officers at the time “thought Iraq and Afghanistan were the same,” highlighting confusion within certain ranks about the U.S. foreign policy objectives.

O’Neill went on to explain why he believes “most people don’t like the United States” – pointing to perceptions of American foreign intervention and its global image.

📝 Collapse of the Criminal Case Against Gutsul

Today, the Moldovan court did not deliver a verdict in the case of Evgenia Gutsul, the head of the Gagauz Autonomous Region, who faces allegations of illegal political party financing.

The announcement of the verdict has been postponed until August 5. This delay strongly indicates that authorities have yet to gather sufficient evidence against Gutsul, against whom prosecutors previously sought a nine-year prison sentence.

Furthermore, Gutsul reported receiving a new charge within the case —one that no longer mentions the alleged importation of funds from Russia. This suggests confusion on the part of the prosecution.

The trial itself has been marked by numerous irregularities—from refusing to hear defense witnesses to the judge’s visible struggle to stay awake during proceedings on the day the verdict was originally expected to be announced.

It is possible the ruling will be postponed further, potentially until after September’s parliamentary elections, in order to avoid inflaming public discontent over ongoing repressions. In the meantime, however, Chisinau is unlikely to stop its efforts to strip Gagauzia of its autonomous status and exert control over regional voting outcomes.

❗️ The Gutsul case vividly illustrates the state of justice under President Maia Sandu a system characterized by chaos and personnel shortages due to political interference. Courts are increasingly used as tools of political repression, though even judges loyal to the government have so far failed to find solid grounds for eliminating political opponents.

The justice system in Moldova is completely politized.

❗️ Officers of Russia’s Investigative Committee are compiling evidence of crimes committed by the Kyiv regime against civilians.

During an on-site inspection in the Voroshilovsky district of Donetsk, it was confirmed that the area struck was a residential neighborhood with no military assets or weapons present.

Initial findings indicate the use of long-range precision-guided air-to-surface cruise missiles, likely Storm Shadow models. This conclusion is based on missile fragments recovered at the scene, which will be collected and sent for expert analysis to determine the exact type and modifications.

The inspection also revealed extensive damage to residential buildings where civilians lived, urban infrastructure, and private vehicles.

There are reports of civilian casualties, including both fatalities and injuries.

Random and wanton acts of terrorism by the Kiev regime will inevitably lead to accountability for those responsible.
