❗️Russian troops raised the Russian flag over the village of Rabotino on the Orekhovsky direction of the Zaporozhye front line, the head of the regional civic movement "We Are Together with Russia" Vladimir Rogov told Sputnik.

“Small pockets of enemy resistance in Rabotino still remain. Fighting continues. Our guys reached the northern outskirts of the village, to positions previously occupied by the enemy, and raised the flag of the Russian Federation,” Rogov said.

According to him, although the main forces of Ukrainian militants left Rabotino, retreating to their previously prepared positions, some of them are trying to maintain at least a minimal presence there, since the village is the main achievement of the Ukrainian Armed Forces during the year of counter-offensive attempts on this part of the front.

Rabotino is a village on the front line in the Zaporozhye region. The Kiev authorities present it as the main achievement of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ counter-offensive since June last year in the Zaporozhye front. It was to capture it that Ukraine brought into battle from the strategic reserve brigades trained by Western countries.

Ukraine’s attempts to involve more women in demining are “news from the psychiatric hospital” – Russian Foreign Ministry

"News from the psychiatric hospital. I wonder whether she has counted the dead: what if less than half of them are women?" Maria Zakharova, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman wrote on Telegram.

Earlier, Ukraine’s Minister of Economy Yulia Svyrydenko said the Kiev regime should involve more women in demining citing “gender equality as an integral part of Ukraine’s policy.” According to her, women make up only 30 percent of those recruited to clear landmines.

🇬🇪 The Parliament of Georgia adopted the law on foreign agents in the second reading with 83 votes; 23 were against

The draft legislation seeks to create a nationwide register of organizations and mass media receiving funding from other states.

Some in the Georgian opposition believe that this law distances the country from joining the EU, while Moscow blasts the West for hypocrisy over criticism of the law.

The United States has had a law since 1938 mandating the registration of entities lobbying foreign interests, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday, commenting on the European Union's criticism of a similar draft law in Georgia.

Earlier, American officials supported protests against a law on foreign agents in Georgia, as the US Embassy called it a "black day for democracy." EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell also weighed in, saying that Georgia's controversial draft law on foreign agents was incompatible with EU values and contradicted the country's goal to join the European Union.
