🇺🇸 Besides Lavrov, Blinken is also not planning any talks in New Delhi with his Chinese counterpart Qin Gang. Washington seems to be concerned with what it sees as signs of support for Russia on the issue of Ukraine that are being shown by Beijing.
While we were waiting for the delegations to arrive, I discussed the divisions on Ukraine between Russia and the West with Associated Press journalist and diplomatic writer Matt Lee:
💬 “The divisions that were very bad at the beginning have only gotten worse over the course of the last year.” – he told me – “And now you see the Chinese siding even more with the Russians. And that, is alarming, I think, to the U.S. and to its Western allies.”

The morning session of the G20 Foreign Ministers meeting in New Delhi is being held behind closed doors.
Journalists were only able to hear the introduction speech by the Indian External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar and a recorded greeting by PM Narendra Modi.
❗️This session is very important for Moscow since food and energy security are on the agenda.
Ahead of the meeting, Moscow has announced that it wants to address the NordStream pipelines sabotage and the blockade of Russian fertilizer shipments to poor countries by the West.

Russia Developing New Type of Military Operations for Defense Against US, Reports Say
According to Russian military magazine, the United States is gradually losing its leading position in the world. As a result, the aggressiveness of the US military and political course towards Russia is growing, since Russia is named the main culprit for the loss of American global domination. The authors point out that the US apparently plans to defeat Russia in the form of a "strategic (global) multi-domain operation."
It says Russian military experts consider a Russian strategic deterrence forces operation to be the main means and tool to counteract attempts to implement the Pentagon's aggressive plans to destroy Russia through a strategic multi-domain operation.

Dreaded Sea Monster From Norse Sagas Outed as Harmless Whale
Modern-day technology such as drones has allowed sea mammals to be monitored closer than before revealing behavior that had gone unnoticed or that was thought to be mythical. The mystery of the dreaded and voracious giant sea monster from Norse sagas called Hafgufa, which it was claimed swallowed boats whole, appears to have been solved by scientists.
Researchers from Flinders University suggest that this behavior may have been based on the hunting strategy of whales. The mammals have now been seen floating upright near the surface with their mouths open, waiting for fish just to swim in.

⚡ Sputnik correspondent Denis Bolotsky asked Dutch top diplomat Wopke Hoekstra if the Netherlands considers itself a party to the Ukrainian crisis, because Dutch PM Rutte earlier called the conflict “our war”.
▪️ Hoekstra basically affirmed Rutte’s statement, saying that Kiev's success on the battlefield is important for the Hague, but he stayed mum on whether the Dutch people backed their government on this point.
