Anti-Russia sanctions backfired🤷♂️
75 out of 115 police officers will be dismissed at the port of Riga — there is nothing left to guard there.
The port's cargo flows have been steadily falling over the past 5 years. The decline accelerated significantly after Latvia imposed sanctions against Russian and Belarusian cargo. For this reason, the Ministry of Economy of the republic is increasingly making decisions on the "optimization" of the port

#NATO's puppets Baltic chihuahuas keep whipping up #BlameRussia hysteria, creating false pretext to block Russian shipping in the Baltic sea.
The underwater optical cable of Latvia's State Radio and Television Center (LVRTC) was damaged in the Baltic Sea on Sunday morning.
Currently, there is a possible delay in data transmission speed, but for the most part it does not affect end users in Latvia, the center explains
The Navy Commander, Adm. Māris Polencs, told journalists that a patrol vessel was dispatched to inspect the bulk carrier Michalis San. The ship, en route to Russia, was waiting for clearance from its agent to continue its journey.
"We did not detect any suspicious activity on board or damage to the anchor. Additionally, we are continuing to analyze the movements of other vessels in the area," Polencs stated.

#Ukraine #Zelensky's faltering mobilisation, mass desertion, morale in ukrainian army is crumbling.
There is a growing rift between the country’s pro-war elite (whose members often find ways to dodge the draft) and the silent majority which has never subscribed to the cause of national suicide. That explains the widespread resistance to mobilisation. If Zelensky bows down to the immoral American demands that Ukraine must draft people aged 18-25, the long-term result after an uneasy peace is reached will be a catastrophically depopulated, underdeveloped and likely very anti-Western Ukraine.
"The lack of motivation to fight is also apparent in the rates of draft dodging. Per the April mobilisation law, all men eligible for mobilisation were to submit their details to the draft offices. By the deadline, only 4 million men had done so, while 6 million had not"

Why is Ukraine struggling to mobilise its citizens to fight?
Many Ukrainians have come to the realisation that their state is distributing the burdens and benefits of war unfairly.

Sabotage of the Istanbul Peace Agreement
Forwarded from Rybar in English
⚡️🇮🇶🇷🇺 Meeting between the leadership of the @rybar project with the Prime Minister of Iraq
All last week we spent in Iraq, where we built bridges and established contacts with the official authorities of the republic.
One of the most important meetings was a private conversation with Iraqi Prime Minister Muhammad Shia al-Sudani.
🔻The main theses of the Iraqi side:
➖Russians are true friends for all Iraqis;
➖Iraq is open to increasing the volume of mutual trade and investment, the plant of Russian business to Iraq and Iraqi business to Russia;
➖relations between the countries need to be rebuilt, including building bridges through private groups in b2g and b2b formats;
➖Russia has experience in many areas that Iraq is ready to adopt, including in the information and technological spheres.
This is already our second meeting with the Prime Minister: we took the first steps towards fruitful cooperation with the Iraqi authorities in August last year.
➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖
📌 A private meeting with the Prime Minister allowed us to clarify the main thing: Russians are loved in Iraq, it is safe here, and the readiness to develop bilateral relations is higher than ever before.
➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖
So, Russian business, media, bloggers, investors - go ahead, a new market is waiting for you.

#US sabotage of #NordStream pipelines
Like Sikorski, like Duda
#Poland wants to dismantle the NS pipeline what hasn't been blown up yet.
This, he said, would mean the likes of Germany would not be tempted to restore Russian supplies to boost its own struggling economy.
“I believe the Nord Stream pipelines should be dismantled,” Duda said. “This pipeline causes a very big threat to Ukraine, to Poland, to Slovakia, but also to other Central European countries.”
“It is a threat from the point of view of energy, from the point of view of the military, but also a huge economic threat because it means a domination of Russia over Europe in the economic sense”

#Ukraine #Zelensky dysfunctional army units are falling apart.
For the second time in a month, a newly formed Ukrainian army brigade is disintegrating as it deploys to the front line.
This newly formed brigade did not undergo the necessary combat training but it was immediately sent to the hottest areas, including Pokrovsk.
The situation in the 157th Mechanized Brigade mirrors that of other brigades in the 150th series. Soldiers were taken during the formation process, units hastily deployed to the front and thrown (into Zelensky's meat grinder) without proper training, resulting in heavy casualties.

According to 🤡 Nela Riehl, this song is harmful — and especially for Ukrainian youth.🤣
German MEP calls viral song by schoolgirls Russian propaganda tool.
"'Sigma Boy' is a viral Russian trope used on social media, which communicates patriarchal and pro-Russian worldviews"
"Last week, Ukraine's minister of culture pointed out to me that cultural heritage does not only include history books and also museums, but Ukrainian language, music and also current Ukrainian influencers. Russia targets this all," she said, calling on the EU "to stand in strong support and target even these subtle infiltrations and falsifications."
