📹 In an exclusive interview with Sputnik, former Austrian Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl commented on the recent investigation by Seymour Hersh, who named Norway and the United States as the bombers of the Nord Stream. Kneissl argued that the United States had been determined to make sure that the gas pipeline would never become operational since 2018, and now they can be sure that it does not work.

The European Union wants to get access to Central Asian countries' resources and create a corridor bypassing Russia, though it will be expensive, Director of the Third Department of the Commonwealth of Independent States of the Russian Foreign Ministry Alexander Sternik told Sputnik.
💭 "We clearly see EU efforts to turn the region into a transit corridor from the East to the West bypassing Russia and getting access to resources in Central Asia to replace supplies from our country. Brussels says it is introducing its standards of management, communications and logistics. And this is a costly affair," the diplomat said.
Sternik added that Central Asian states would have to disburse large sums to reach these "high European standards."

Sputnik presents a gallery showing Russian forces using Orlan-10 drones during the special military operation. What can the Orlan-10 do?
▪️Conduct radio reconnaissance, intercept enemy negotiations, videotape areas where Ukrainian militants are deployed;
▪️ Send SMS messages to mobile operator subscribers with instructions to lay down their arms.
▪️When radio signals are detected and negotiations are intercepted, a drone with video equipment is sent to the specified area, transmits the coordinates of the military infrastructure to artillery units which, in turn, fire at the enemy.

Russia Had No Opportunity Yet to Send Food as Part of Grain Deal, Russian Envoy to UN Says
Russia has not been able to export any food as part of the grain deal yet, as seizures and general licenses issued by the West for Russian goods are a sham and do not allow exporting products, Russian Permanent Representative to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzia said in an interview with Sputnik.
"For more than half a year of the Russia-UN memorandum, not a single grain and almost nothing of fertilizers have been sent through this line. And this is despite the demand and need for Russian products, which everyone admits," Nebenzia said.

Will Ukraine Fatigue Among US Lawmakers Bring Kiev Militarization to End?
Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz (Fl) has introduced the Ukraine Fatigue Resolution to Congress arguing that the US should stop arming and funding Kiev and rather persuade warring parties to reach a peace agreement. Ten House Republicans co-sponsored the bill.
"Representative Gaetz's resolution touches a deep strain of conservative American political thought. Original immigrants to the New World wanted isolation from affairs and wars overseas," explained Professor David Woodard, Clemson University political scientist and former political consultant for Republican lawmakers.
