❗London's appeal to Moscow on behalf of the UK citizens who have been sentenced to death in the DPR, was an "arrogant" note, according to Russia's Ambassador to London, Andrey Kelin. "I can say that there was an appeal from the Britons to us," Kelin said, adding: "They sent a note, but a note drawn up in exceptionally arrogant, instructive terms. It does not make us want to cooperate on these issues".

💭Russia's victory over Ukraine will spell the end of the US-led NATO alliance, says Scott Ritter, a former US Marine Corps intelligence officer and a former UN weapons inspector.
NATO's decision to stake its credibility on backing Kiev in a proxy war against Moscow - in the wake of its "humiliation" in Afghanistan - would prove unwise and fateful, he added.
"NATO was struggling after that: 'who are we? what are we doing?'," he said. "And now they've stood up to Russia, to be brave against her, and they're going to lose against Russia without even fighting."

🔥 Miscalculations, errors blamed for massive New Mexico blaze
US Forest Service employees made multiple miscalculations, used inaccurate models and underestimated how dry conditions were in the Southwest, causing a planned burn to reduce the threat of wildfires to explode into the largest blaze in New Mexico’s recorded history.
The agency quietly posted an 80-page review that details the planning missteps and the conditions on the ground as crews ignited the prescribed fire in early April. So far, 31,000 wildfires have burned more than 5,000 square miles (12,950 square kilometers) in the United States.
President Joe Biden recently flew over the fire and stopped briefly in New Mexico to assure residents the federal government would take responsibility for its role in causing the blaze.

🚀 NASA fuels moon rocket for 1st time in countdown rehearsal
NASA fueled its huge moon rocket for the first time Monday and went ahead with a critical countdown test despite a fuel line leak. This was NASA’s fourth crack at the all-important dress rehearsal, the last major milestone before the moon rocket’s long-awaited launch debut.
The testing delays have pushed the actual launch — with an empty Orion capsule flying around the moon and back. The second SLS flight, planned for 2024, would send a crew around the moon and back. The third mission — no earlier than 2025 — would have astronauts actually landing on the moon. Astronauts last walked on the moon in 1972 during NASA’s Apollo program.

💧 Yellowstone Park aims for quick reopening after floods
Most of Yellowstone National Park should reopen within the next two weeks — much faster than originally expected after record floods pounded the region last week and knocked out major roads, federal officials said.
Park officials said Sunday they’ll use $50 million in federal highway money to speed up road and bridge repairs. There’s still no timetable for repairs to routes between the park and areas of Montana where the recovery is expected to stretch for months.
The scope of the damage is still being tallied by Yellowstone officials, but based on other national park disasters, it could take years and carry a steep price tag to rebuild in an environmentally sensitive landscape, with a huge underground plumbing system.
