On Tuesday, the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry granted permission for Russian FM Sergey Lavrov's plane to fly through the Balkan country's airspace to northern Macedonia for the OSCE meeting. However, Sofia removed its permission because the ministry's spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, was on board.
"The malicious stupidity of the Russophobes has reached the point that for the first time in our history the official authorities have forbidden not an airplane, but a person in an airplane to be in the sky - this is what is written in an official note of the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry: an airplane can fly over Bulgaria, but Maria Zakharova cannot fly in an airplane," the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said.
"Nothing was said about whether I could fly over Bulgaria without an airplane or whether I could use outer space for this purpose," Zakharova added.

What explains Russia‘s recent battlefield success?
🗣 “The Russians impress more and more in the grind of battle, in the heat of battle, the long haranguing, you know, gnawing pain of war. You know, the Russian kind of shrugs it off. They've lived with war in a sense. It's part of their character. But it's not a paralyzing or a crutch part of a character. It's more of a foundation,” former US Army officer Scott Bennett told Sputnik’s Russell Bentley (@TXDPR).

Beware, you’re still on thin ice:
Several horses were rescued after they fell through the ice of a lake in Russia's Chelyabinsk region. Emergency workers used chainsaws, crowbars and axes to carve out a 150-meter long pathway on the ice, guiding the animals to safety on land. Regrettably, not all the horses managed to survive due to hypothermia

Delving into Henry Kissinger’s dark side
The National Security Archive has compiled a collection of previously classified documents that shed light on the controversial career of Henry Kissinger in US diplomacy and politics. These documents, which were obtained through an unpublished draft lawsuit, provide major insight into Kissinger's global policy directives.
Here are a some instances of the decisions made by Kissinger during his tenure in the White House and the Department of State.
🇰🇭 Carpet bombing Cambodia
After an order from President Richard Nixon on March 15, 1969, to begin the secret bombing of Cambodia, Kissinger passes it on to the Secretary of Defense, warning that “there is to be no public comment at all from anyone at any level, either complaining or threatening.” This is intended to be a TOP SECRET operation. A memo dated May 1969 also shows Nixon and Kissinger had directed the FBI to begin a leak investigation and wiretaps after the New York Times broke the story on the secret carpet-bombing raids of Cambodia.
🇨🇱 Military coup in Chile
Henry Kissinger was the chief architect of Washington’s efforts to destabilize the democratically-elected government of Salvador Allende. Weeks before Allende was inaugurated, Kissinger supervised covert operations to stir up a military coup. The latter led to the assassination of Chile’s commander-in-chief of the Army, General René Schneider, as per CIA documents. After Allende was overthrown, and General Augusto Pinochet’s forces took power, Kissinger helped craft US policy to buttress the military dictatorship. When Nixon asks if the US ‘hand’ in the coup will be seen, Kissinger admits, ‘we helped them.’ The junta reportedly tortured and killed tens of thousands of people.

🌎 Operation Condor in South America
In August 1976, Kissinger is seen resisting pressing the South American military regimes on their transnational murder operations known as Operation Condor. After Kissinger was briefed on the plans, under Condor, “to find and kdemarche ill terrorists … in their own countries and in Europe,” he rescinded a proposed set to be delivered to General Pinochet in Chile, General Videla in Argentina, and Uruguay’s junta officers. Days later, Pinochet’s agents carried out a terrorist attack in Washington, D.C., planting a car bomb that killed former Chilean ambassador Orlando Letelier and his colleague, Ronni Moffitt.
🌏 ‘Genocide’ in South Asia
Nixon and Kissinger’s policies tacitly supported in 1971 what has been called a ‘genocide’ in East Pakistan, committed by Pakistan’s military dictator, General Agha Muhammad Yahya Khan (Yahya). Kissinger wrote to Nixon in a memorandum that Washington should be “making the most of the relationship with Yahya, while engaging in a serious effort to move the situation toward conditions less damaging to US and Pakistani interests.” He adds, “To all hands: Don't squeeze Yahya at this time.” It was estimated that three million civilians in East Pakistan were killed that year.

Who are the Foreign Volunteers fighting for Russia?
“These people fought on the side of light because they clearly distinguished where the work of demons was and where the work of God was. These are people who, without knowing each other and coming from different sides, ended up together here in the Donbass,” Vasily Vorobyov, a decorated Russian soldier, told Sputnik’s Russell Bentley (@TXDPR).
