🇷🇺 All eyes on ‘Plastun’: Russia debuts cutting-edge all-terrain vehicle
Eric Sagymbayev, the CEO of Russian All-Terrain Vehicles Plastun, the company behind the development of the vehicle, spoke about its advantages in an exclusive interview with Sputnik:
💬 "The vehicle maneuvers easily in places where a person or a wheeled vehicle cannot go: on loose sand, in swampy terrain, in semi-liquid mud, in deep snow and much more. The ground clearance of the all-terrain vehicle is 0.5 meters, and the angles of approach and departure, even in the civilian version, are the same as, for example, the BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle. The payload capacity is up to 1.5 tons, and the normal operating speed on land is 40-50 km/h."

🇧🇫🇳🇪 Burkina Faso ready to back Niger if ECOWAS launches intervention, Defense Minister says
The country is ready to withdraw from ECOWAS because it considers the association's policy towards Niger illogical, Burkinabe Defense Minister Kassoum Coulibaly told Sputnik.
💬 "We have no right to fight each other. We are part of a single economic union. The very idea that some states of the association want to wage an internecine war is shocking. It is also shocking that some heads of state want to wage war against other countries under the guise of democracy," Coulibaly said.

🇷🇺 West’s slogans change, but goal of bending world to its will remain unchanged, Lavrov says
💬 “The West has people leading it today such as Josep Borrell which divide the world into their ‘flowering garden’ and the ‘jungle,’ where, in their view, most of humanity resides. With such a racist worldview (and I’m not afraid to use this word), it is of course difficult to come to terms with the arrival of multipolarity ... First and foremost, they are afraid of the prospect of losing the opportunity to live parasitically off the rest of the world, ensuring faster economic growth for themselves at the expense of the rest of the world,” the Russian top diplomat said.

☣️ US seeks 'license' to encircle Russia, China, with 'offensive strategic bio-labs'
The new Pentagon report claiming that America is facing “expanding biological threats” from its foreign adversaries is no more than an attempt "to seek license" for the US to continue developing offensive strategic bio-labs in countries that surround Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, Scott Bennett, a former State Department counterterrorism analyst, told Sputnik.
💬 "These labs will be used to develop bio weapons that target specific DNA and genetic vulnerabilities of people of Slavic, Asian, and Persian-Hindu descent. Of course the external cover explanation for the purpose of these labs will be as 'defensive' or 'proactive' countermeasures against the bio weapon development of other nations the American government defines as 'uncooperative', or 'unyielding', or 'hostile' to being an American vassal or slave state," Bennett said.
