Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who prevented Kiev from signing a treaty with Russia, is responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of Ukrainians, Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vassily Nebenzia said at a UN Security Council meeting.
"Thus, your former Prime Minister Boris Johnson is an accomplice to the crimes of the Kiev regime and responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of young Ukrainians on the battlefield, whose lives could have been saved if the treaty had been signed and if your British and American colleagues had not forbidden it from happening," he stressed.

"I would like to tell my British colleague that it was your former Prime Minister Boris Johnson in April 2022 who rushed to Kiev at a time when the treaty between Russia and Ukraine was almost ready. All that was left was to finalize it. He rushed to Kiev and commanded his Kiev puppets to continue the war against Russia," Nebenzia emphasized.

The Office of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was the one that extended an invitation to Ukrainian Nazi veteran Yaroslav Hunka to appear before the country’s House of Commons (HoC) in September, the Russian Embassy in Ottawa said on Tuesday.
The Embassy reacted to the reports of the Globe and Mail and a letter now circulating which says that Trudeau invited Hunka for a private reception.
Former Speaker of the HoC Anthony Rota had to resign and assume responsibility for supposedly not having made the necessary background screening which had led Canada into a rather embarrassing scandal.
"Now it’s official – it was PM JustinTrudeau who invited SS criminal to the Parliament last year," the embassy said in a statement shared via X.
The Embassy reacted to the reports of the Globe and Mail and a letter now circulating which says that Trudeau invited Hunka for a private reception.
“Dear Yaroslav Hunka, The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada, is pleased to invite you to a special event. The event will take place on Friday, September 22, 2023, at 8.30 p.m. in Toronto, Ontario,” the letter dated September 19, said.

❗️ The US House of Representatives rejected a $17.6 billion standalone Israel aid bill following a veto threat from President Joe Biden.
House lawmakers rejected the bill on Tuesday in a vote of 250-180 under suspension of the rules, which requires two-thirds support for passage.
On Monday, the White House Office of Management and Budget said that Biden would veto the bill if it were to pass the US Senate and make its way to his desk. The US Senate is set to hold votes on a supplemental aid package with both Israel and Ukraine aid later this week, although Senate leadership has expressed a lack of confidence in the bill.

Hardline ministers in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government are causing headaches for Washington with their outspoken criticism of US President Joe Biden.
National security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and finance minister Bezalel Smotrich have long been considered the most controversial members of Netanyahu’s cabinet, often making comments widely panned as racist and extremist. In recent weeks the ultranationalist figures have criticized US efforts to transfer aid to Gaza, while Smotrich accused the US president of leading an “anti-Semitic campaign” when the White House placed sanctions on a handful of Israeli settlers engaged in West Bank violence.
Former Israeli government minister Shulamit Aloni once admitted that accusations of anti-semitism are used cynically and indiscriminately against critics of Israel, confessing “it’s a trick,” in an interview with US media.

Biden's most recent blunders:
1) Hamas has been eluding Biden’s memory. Thankfully, there are kind reporters to help.
"There is some movement, and I don’t wanna, I don't wanna, let me be choose my words — there's some movement. There's been a response from the, uh, there's been a response from the opposition, but um...," the president stumbled.
"Hamas?" a journalist suggested to save the day.
"Yes, I'm sorry, from Hamas...," Biden sighed with relief.
2) Biden is still struggling to differentiate between a camel 🐫 and Vice President Kamala Harris.
3) Actions speak for themselves... or Biden speaks for them... After brief remarks on Black History Month, the US president reminded himself what he was going to do, "Alright, we're gonna walk off here and get that performance..."
4) Biden got lost again. Thankfully, his wife is there😊 to direct him on where to go saying, "Go out this way."
5) Keep it quiet🤫. Biden tries and fails to calm the crowd as he listens to a performance during a reception.

The Houthis fired six missiles toward the Southern Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden on Tuesday, with one of the missiles slightly damaging a Greek-owned vessel, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said.
The second missile aiming at MV Star Nasia fell into the water, and the third was shot down by a US destroyer, the command said, adding that the Greek vessel remained seaworthy and continued toward its destination.
"On Feb. 6, from approximately 1:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (Arabian Standard Time) [22:45 GMT on Monday to 13:30 GMT on Tuesday] Iranian-backed Houthi militants fired six anti-ship ballistic missiles (ASBM) from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen toward the Southern Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. Three of the ASBMs were attempting to hit MV [merchant vessel] Star Nasia, a Marshall Island-flagged, Greek owned-and-operated bulk carrier transiting the Gulf of Aden. At approximately 3:20 a.m., MV Star Nasia reported an explosion near the ship causing minor damage but no injuries," CENTCOM said on X.

Finland is unwilling to discuss with Russia alleged threats to the country's security from the Russian side of the border between the two countries and is avoiding direct dialogue between border services, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Sputnik.
In December 2023, Finland completely closed its border with Russia, citing an influx of undocumented migrants from the Middle East and North Africa seeking to cross into the European Union via Russian territory.
The Finnish position is politicized and "nothing more than the erection of new dividing lines on the European continent," she added.

"Helsinki is stubbornly refusing to discuss with us the alleged threats to Finnish security emanating from the Russian side of the border … The key to overcoming the current unhealthy situation on the border is direct and constructive dialogue between the border services of the two countries, which the Finnish authorities are avoiding," Zakharova said.

US’ stated objectives in the Middle East are "unachievable" while aid flows to Israel, said Beirut-based journalist Esteban Carrillo, adding that “there is a military objective, but it's so broad.”
Carrillo criticized US arguments that the Iranian government is orchestrating strikes on American troops, arguing that militants in the region “are acting independently towards a common cause because the Palestinian issue is a common cause across the Arab world, including Iran.” The treatment of Palestinians was among the founding principles of Iran’s 1959 revolution that ushered in the country’s modern-day political system.

“It's so unachievable, honestly, because they say, 'okay, we want the attacks to stop,' you know, what is the way to get the attacks to stop? It's to stop sending weapons to Israel,” said Carrillo. “It's to get Israel to stop killing people in Gaza. It's as clear as that,” the journalist clarified Tuesday on Sputnik’s Fault Lines program.
