❗️Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov instructed Gener Staff to take rapid response measures to US provocations over Black Sea
The department noted that the intensity of flights in the region of US strategic drones, which carry out reconnaissance and targeting of Western high-precision weapons of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for strikes against Russian targets, has increased.
As noted, such data indicate the growing involvement of the United States and NATO countries in the Ukrainian conflict on the side of Kiev.
Flights of American UAVs increase the risk of confrontation between NATO and Russia, because they multiply the probability of incidents in the air.

'Embarrassment for American democracy' — Scott Ritter on US Presidential debates
Ritter added that after the debate, the world finally saw the figurative political assassination of Biden:
📌 Subscribe to @SputnikInt
"For 90 minutes, the world got to watch what was, frankly speaking, an embarrassment for American democracy. Neither candidate did well. Let’s just be clear about that. But at least Donald Trump in performing poorly performed coherently. For Joe Biden, this is the end of his candidacy," former UN weapons inspector said.
Ritter added that after the debate, the world finally saw the figurative political assassination of Biden:
"CNN did what the Democratic Party could not do: create the conditions under which the American people were able to see firsthand the cognitive decline of a man who is not fit to be president of the United States. And that man is Joe Biden... This is someone who belongs in a retirement home, under the care of watchful people who ensure that he doesn't harm himself."

"Media reports have a 40% reduction in encounters since the executive order was signed. That still keeps us at over 1 million [illegal crossings on the southern border] per year," he said.

Who will Democrats pick to replace Biden as their nominee? Scott Ritter on aftermath of tonight's debates
The former UN weapons inspector also delved into what Trump will do next, now that Biden has clearly been eliminated as a viable candidate for the presidency in 2024:

"The Democrats now have a choice. Who are they going to pick to be the nominee? Because it's not going to be Joe Biden. And the Republicans have to sit there and say, 'Okay, we have our man, but now, without any meaningful competition going forward, what can be done to make Donald Trump an even better candidate?'"
The former UN weapons inspector also delved into what Trump will do next, now that Biden has clearly been eliminated as a viable candidate for the presidency in 2024:
"And so one of the clear outtakes of this debate is that the American people need to step up to the plate and start challenging Donald Trump. If he is to be the next president of the United States, and frankly speaking, after tonight's performance, this is clearly the direction America is heading," Ritter said.

‘In command Trump and stumbling Biden’: How world press reacted to first US presidential debate
The June 27 presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump at CNN's Atlanta studios has made headlines in the US and around the world, with many acknowledging POTUS' "disastrous" performance during the event.
🔹 CNN cited Biden’s “poor showing”, while CBS News pointed to the US president’s efforts “to struggle with hoarse voice” at the beginning of the debate.
🔹 The New York Times went further by reporting that Biden’s “fumbling, shaky and halting” performance “has top Democrats talking about replacing him on the ticket.”
🔹 The same tone was struck by Politico as the news outlet noted that POTUS’ “disjointed” and “rambling” answers reignited “Democratic concerns about his age and ability to take on former President Donald Trump.”
🔹 Politico was echoed by the New York Post, which reported about Biden’s “calamitous debate against Trump as Democrats freak out.”
🔹 In the same vein, UK media outlets referred to Trump’s apparent victory in the June 27 event, with Sky News rolling out the headline “In command Trump and stumbling Biden face off in first presidential debate.”
🔹 The Times, in turn, pointed out that “Democrats panic after president ‘freezes’”, while The Telegraph reported that Democrats “are in talks to replace Biden after the disastrous debate.”
🔹 Jen Psaki, former White House press secretary for the Biden administration and current MSNBC pundit, has since admitted that "It was not a good night for Joe Biden,” and that “it wasn't a good debate performance."
🔹 Julian Castro, former US Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, noted that “Biden had a very low bar going into the debate and failed to clear even that bar.” According to Castro, the US president “seemed unprepared, lost, and not strong enough to parry effectively with Trump.”
