"The EU wants Georgia to participate in the economic sanctioning of Russia. Look what happened to Europe when they sanctioned Russia, it boomerang, backfired,” Ritter told Sputnik. “By not participating in the economic sanction of Russia, the Georgian economy has grown more than 10 percent over the course of the last two years and is on pace to continue this level of growth. That's called looking out for Georgia first."

“Already much of Ukrainian battlefield surveillance and communications is dependent on Western help. This help is probably as important as the military deliveries or economic support from the West,” the observer pointed out, saying he expects this assistance to become “even more important” with the restrictions lifted.

“But since Russia wants to avoid a large-scale direct military conflict with the West, military attacks toward military installations within NATO countries are very unlikely. Instead, Russia might hunt even more avidly for Western targets within Ukraine, increase electronic warfare against NATO assets, even within NATO countries and in space, and finally increase efforts to undermine Western interests in the Global South,” the observer believes.

"By stopping this, by exposing this foreign money, the reality of this foreign money, Georgian Dream Party is betting that the Georgian people will be shocked by the depths to which ostensible friends, the US, the EU, have gone to buy Georgia, not respecting Georgia as a sovereign state, not respecting the Georgian people as a sovereign people," Ritter told Sputnik.

I'm telling you, Kiev will be bombed next. And you will bomb Kiev, you will. It's written in your plans. NATO's plans already include the bombing of Kiev. There is even a date set. And you still don't know. You are still like children, naively smiling. You think, no, it won't happen. But it will happen. It must be said in advance that there will be a war in Ukraine over Crimea. In the Caucasus, the West will back the Armenians against Baku. But NATO will do this.

"These guys are experienced using older equipment, but using it against some of the modern stuff. I know the night vision and infrared targeting - they have ways of tracking these Reapers and using their capabilities basically to the maximum extent possible. So it's really testimony to what happens when you have an experienced set of soldiers or air defense experts," Kwiatkowski said.

“During the Soviet period, our military specialists and advisors were widespread in Iraq, in Yemen, in Libya…These were countries with which we had very friendly relations. Therefore, we assisted in the creation of air defense systems for them. We created it and they bought our weapons, and they still have them there. They were put on combat duty in very difficult climactic conditions – in the heat, in sandstorms, under the scorching Sun they carried out the tasks that were set before them,” Bizhev told Sputnik.

“I don’t know if the Biden advisors in Washington really have a sense of this, because there are no military people up there that are talking to Biden about this, but it’s a very dangerous situation,” Kwiatkowski emphasized.

“If they are trying to game the system and say ‘oh, no we can do this and it won’t initiate the use of the strategic nuclear defense doctrine by Russia’, I don’t know how to explain that. It’s shocking and its frightening,” Kwiatkowski stressed.

"This is not going to happen. We do not have the capacity to [jointly] produce [weapons] at the moment. No such joint work is planned," Adorni told reporters.

"The Hamas Islamic Resistance movement welcomes idea of the speech of US President Joe Biden ... in his call for a permanent ceasefire, the withdrawal of occupying forces from the Gaza Strip, the reconstruction [of the Gaza Strip] and the exchange of prisoners," the movement said in a statement.

“For months the Secretary-General has been pushing for a ceasefire, full and unfettered humanitarian access, and the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages held in Gaza. The Secretary-General strongly hopes that this will lead to an agreement by the parties for lasting peace,” Dujarric said in response to Biden’s announcement.

“Our air defense system worked over Belgorod and the Belgorodsky District - air targets were shot down on approach to the city. According to preliminary information, there were no casualties,” Gladkov wrote on Telegram.

"In the 24 hours since Crooked Joe Biden and his New York henchmen got their sham trial verdict, the Trump Campaign has raised $52.8 million through the online digital fundraising platform," the release said.

According to its sources, some of these banks have received notifications about the possibility of imposing punitive measures for making transactions using the Russian system.
