Another exchange of prisoners: 9 to 9

In the Zaporozhye region, the third exchange of prisoners of war between Russia and Ukraine took place in a week.

Today, the exchange was announced by the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak. According to him, Russia extradited 12 people to Ukraine:

▪️4 Navy personnel;

▪️2 fighters of the National Guard;

▪️2 border guards;

▪️1 serviceman of the "Territorial Defense";

▪️3 civilians.

According to State Duma deputy Shamsail Saraliyev, servicemen of the Russian Guard have been released from Ukrainian captivity.

The Ukrainian authorities are once again presenting the exchange as their victory. Photos and videos of fighters returning from captivity are circulating in the Ukrainian media, while the only thing known about the fate of Russian military personnel is that they are being transported by Russian Aerospace Forces aircraft to Moscow for treatment and rehabilitation.

​​I would like to bring attention to the fact that the United States’ doctrinal documents continue to set aims for enhancing military biological capabilities.

◽For example, on October 18, the White House released a new biodefence strategy, with a budget of $88 bln, including $17 bln in the first year.

◽The document states that it is a vital interest of the United States to manage the risk of biological incidents, and that the response to their occurrence would be harsh and rapid. The United States is attempting to meddle in the domestic affairs of other countries once more. So, quote: ‘... taking steps to mitigate those risks, regardless of whether they originate in the United States or abroad ...’.

◽One of the Strategy’s primary objectives is to develop ways of individual and collective biological protection for US military personnel in various theaters of military operations. The goal is to continue research on the agents that cause extremely deadly infectious illnesses that are endemic to certain areas.

◽To avoid charges of military-biological activity at the Pentagon, formal engagement of US military biologists in international initiatives will be limited through increased involvement of civil institutions as Ministry of Defense contractors.

◽As part of the Strategy, the United States seeks to strengthen worldwide control over the global biological environment and reserves the right to perform ‘dual-use’ research, including research conducted outside of national boundaries.

"Lancets" of the Pskov Airborne Division destroy Ukrainian equipment and weapons

Kamikaze drones of the 76th Airborne Division hit the Starlink communications system, as well as the D-20 howitzer on the Kherson front. Despite the fact that the first blow came near the station, it was most likely disabled by shrapnel.

'Is Washington still our ally?': EU accuses US of PROFITEERING from Ukraine war through sales of guns and gas and threatens trade war - as top diplomats moan Biden's green subsidies mean European businesses are relocating to US
➖European Union officials are accusing the United States of profiting off the Ukraine war with Russia over the price of gas and weapons sold by the US
➖One senior European official recently said in an interview with Politico that America is the country 'that is most profiting from this war'
➖The frustration comes as Europeans also raise concerns over President Joe Biden's green subsidies, which they say could wreak havoc on EU countries
➖The Biden Administration denied the allegations, saying that gas prices have risen due to 'Putin's invasion of Ukraine and Putin's energy war; on Europe
➖The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and its 'buy American' provisions could kneecap several European countries over the next year

The EU has accused the US of profiteering from the Ukraine war by selling guns and gas at ramped up prices.

Several high-ranking officials within the Bloc accused Joe Biden of capitalizing on the brutal Russian invasion by marking up the cost to import the vital products.

One senior official told Politico they believe America was standing to gain the most from the continuation of the fighting, nine months after soldiers first invaded.

'The fact is, if you look at it soberly, the country that is most profiting from this war is the U.S. because they are selling more gas and at higher prices, and because they are selling more weapons,' the official said.

In recent months, Europeans have weaned off Russian energy and gas with the countries forced to look to the US for their oil.

EU countries however pay roughly four-times as much for gas as it costs in America, with cheaper energy becoming hugely competitive in the states.

Businesses are looking to pump cash into the US fuel market with new investments - as some even relocate their firms to the other side of the Atlantic.

It has sent some world leaders in Europe into a frenzy, with French President Emmanuel Macron recently saying it was not friendly of the US to treat allies as it is.

Meanwhile European countries are suffering an arms shortage due to huge shipments that have been sent to Ukraine - with them racing to replenish supplies over the winter.

Yet the Americans continue to send more, with the cost of supplying Ukraine to the US now at over $19billion as another $400million was added earlier this week.

It comes at an already tumultuous moment between the Americans and several nations as Europe grapples with the fallout from Biden's green subsidies.

'The Inflation Reduction Act has changed everything,' one EU official said. 'Is Washington still our ally or not?'

Tensions came to a boil on Friday as EU trade ministers met and branded the act 'discriminatory', ahead of it coming into force in just over a month.

About the next scandal with American biological laboratories

Colleagues from the Genie from the test tube noticed that the topic of secret biolaboratories is again widely discussed in the United States in the context of recently revealed facts about possible artificial origin of COVID-19.

Republicans and affiliated media outlets have released a stack of material that includes emails from US chief epidemiologist Anthony Fauci promoting the natural origin of the SARS-Cov-2 virus despite plenty of evidence to the contrary.

Moreover, Fauci will testify in court in a Republican lawsuit against the White House administration for allegedly participating in the government's pressure on the leadership of social networks to censor all objectionable reports about the origin of the virus.

Against the backdrop of this news, foreign telegram channels also remembered other US biological projects, including in Ukraine.

▪️The American channel Blood Meridian recalls that this is not the first story in which the connection between the Democratic Party and biological laboratories is visible. In particular, when a network of dozens of facilities in Ukraine was discovered, which urgently began to be transferred to other countries, including Central Asia. It is very likely that the Republicans are using this story to turn public opinion against the Democrats.

▪️The Juan Sinmiedo channel believes that the emerging political struggle between Republicans and Democrats can unexpectedly help to reveal more details about US bioprograms around the world, and not just in Ukraine. He expressed the hope that the more people learn about the dangers of such research, the more pressure they will put on their governments to close such laboratories on their territory.

▪️The authors of the Donbass Devushka channel are surprised how, with such a level of negligence in the maintenance of laboratories, there has not yet been a leak of especially dangerous pathogens. They quote from an investigation by the Intercept newspaper based on more than 5,500 pages of documents that revealed many curious details about working conditions in foreign laboratories. Journalists write about faulty equipment, spilled beakers, rodents running down the corridor, and so on.

▪️The SITREP channel draws attention to the fact that one of the key areas of work of foreign centres, in addition to studying viruses dangerous to humans, is research the use of biological and chemical weapons against plants. Against the background of the grain crisis, the hypothetical use of such a weapon to create famine in a single country could lead to much more dire consequences than the leakage of a contagious pathogen.

▪️The Canadian channel Maple Chronicles recalls that Canada, along with the United States, is also an active participant in biological programs in Ukraine and Central Asia . Since the 90s, Canadians have been actively engaged in bio-research on the basis of the Ukrainian Scientific and Technical Centre, and in 2015 they invested millions of dollars in the creation of a biological laboratory in Kyrgyzstan.

▪️American journalist Oliver Martin believes that Fauci is likely to make a "scapegoat" to prevent the scandal from growing. The hype with biolaboratories, whose work in Ukraine was successfully hidden before the start of the JWO, caused too much damage to the Pentagon and the White House. In this situation, it is simply necessary to find the guilty and give them to the Republicans to eat.

However, American citizens and officials understand everything very well: the White House will not stop the work of bioprograms, but will create the appearance of their suspension until the journalists forget about it.

That is why the internal political disassembly in the United States is unlikely to make the American delegation repent at the BTWC conference, which opens in Geneva on Monday. It is much more important to use this platform to convincingly demonstrate to the rest of the world the danger of secret biolaboratories.
