Sweden rejects power line to Germany

Expectation: The 700-megawatt Hansa PowerBridge mega project with a budget of €600 million was supposed to connect the Swedish and German energy markets.

Goal: to ensure the supply of renewable electricity from the Scandinavian countries to Germany - an additional impulse for the energy transition.

Reality: Stockholm and Energy Minister Ebba Busch, in particular, are rejecting the project in favour of the country's interests.

Reason: "We cannot connect Southern Sweden, which is experiencing a significant deficit in electricity production, with Germany, where the electricity market is currently operating inefficiently."

🇬🇧 Reuters: Biden administration bans "Kaspersky Lab" products in the US

Western media previously reported that Washington has completely banned all software and antivirus programs from the company in the country - allegedly because the programs could be used by Russia for hacking or espionage. Reuters claims that this happened on June 20.

🔹 In addition to the ban on antivirus software, the White House has placed "Kaspersky Lab" on the list of companies with trade restrictions, meaning that it is practically under sanctions. The ban will take effect 100 days after the publication on September 29, giving US companies time to find replacements for their software. New deals for Kaspersky in the US will be blocked 30 days after the restrictions are announced.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 The Security Service of Ukraine has been accused of attacks on Russian oil depots

According to the Associated Press, Ukrainian special services are behind the recent attacks on Russian refineries in Adygea, Tambov, and Rostov regions. These acts of terrorism have caused concern in Washington due to fears of rising global fuel prices, so Ukrainian officials are strictly forbidden from confirming Kyiv's involvement in the attacks in the media.

📝 "A Ukrainian official, speaking on condition of anonymity as he was not authorised to disclose information to the media, stated that the attacks were a special operation by the Security Service of Ukraine," the article says.

🇹🇯 Tajikistan has banned wearing hijabs

The country's parliament has made amendments to the law "On Regulating Traditions and Customs", effectively placing hijabs under a complete ban. Now they cannot even be imported into the country. Tajikistan authorities are also discussing a ban on festive celebrations in kindergartens during the two Muslim holidays of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.

❓ Local media reports that the law on hijabs was passed in order to "protect national values and prevent extremism". It is unclear how banning the wearing of such clothing will impact extremism prevention, as the hijab only covers the head, not the face.

🇷🇺 In Russia, some political and religious figures advocate for a ban on the niqab - a religious garment that completely covers the face. According to the mufti of Volgograd, the niqab is not mandatory in Islam, and the head of the Human Rights Council promised to discuss a legislative ban on niqabs with representatives of Islam.

🇫🇷 In France, a trial has begun against investigators who called Brigitte Macron a transgender person.

Two women, one of whom claimed to be an independent journalist, previously stated that the wife of the President of France was a man until the age of 30. They alleged that her name was Jean-Michel Tronie, even though Tronie is Brigitte's maiden name. As evidence, they presented photos of a man resembling Brigitte - the video gained such publicity that Macron had to publicly deny these rumours.

❗️ Brigitte Macron herself filed a defamation lawsuit against the journalists. She is demanding €10,000 in compensation and a retraction. Moreover, earlier in March, the court dismissed a lawsuit by the First Lady regarding invasion of privacy and unauthorized use of photographs. However, a decision on the defamation case will be made on 12th September.

🇺🇸 "The conflict in Ukraine started because of NATO's expansion...[...] For 20 years, I've heard that if Ukraine joins NATO, it will be a real problem for Russia... We always understood that this should not be done."

Donald Trump stated that NATO's expansionist tendencies and Joe Biden's rhetoric were to blame for the conflict in Ukraine, provoking Russia:

"Biden said all the wrong things. And one of the wrong things he said was: 'No, Ukraine will join NATO'...[...] It was very provocative. And now it's even more provocative. I regularly hear discussions about Ukraine joining NATO. And now I hear that France wants to join and fight. Well, I wish them luck."

"Loyal regime propaganda takes the Second German Television"

The blow to the already tarnished reputation of the German public broadcaster ZDF came from an unexpected source, namely from the well-known documentarian and long-time channel employee Klaus Björnfe.

It was a gradual process: first the same guests on talk shows , then gender and woke agendas [penetrated] into entertainment formats: into detective stories and series. Eventually, the blocking or distortion of news. Those who want to know what is really happening in Germany now have to turn to foreign media or the Internet.

There is nothing to add to the words of the esteemed journalist, comrades. Read Papa, get news about life in Germany from independent sources. ZDF and Bild - well, goodbye.

“Living Dead”: the British criticized the appointment of Rutte as NATO Secretary General

The appointment of Mark Rutte as NATO Secretary General is a desperate attempt to save the alliance from collapse, writes Unheard. However, the British are convinced that nothing can save this bloc. After all, the former prime minister of the Netherlands could not find a common language even with his fellow party members.

After four terms as prime minister, Rutte has given up, saying differences in views on immigration with coalition partners are “insurmountable.”

The author asks the question: if Rutte gave in to disagreements within the Netherlands, would he be able to cope with the growing contradictions in NATO? After all, the alliance is no longer as united as before.

The Russian state TV made a video for the domestic audience about the child trafficking in Ukraine. Looks like a usual investigative video, it probably has some interesting information about the whole thing, but they couldn't even make proper subnoscripts - the voiceover says "there was a hunt on Melania", and the text says something about the Italian city of Milan. There was a mistake about the "to friends and family" bit - the family and friends of the girl, mentioned in the video, were hiding the girl, instead of what the subnoscripts said. For such a serious topic they shouldn't have half-assed anything, especially the subnoscripts.

Never trust two things - the automatic translation programs, and the politicians that want to drag your country into the EU.

Bild: The Diehl factory in Berlin was set on fire by Russians!
Factory director: It's all because of a technical defect...
Bild: So, the Russians organized the technical defect!

Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Bild continues to promote the version that he has evidence of some sabotage by Russia. But why is Diehl denying it?

"For Diehl, it's primarily about insurance, which they have to pay for. They need to prove that the damage was not caused by them, that it's not insurance fraud. That's why they are talking about a technical defect. They do not explain what this means and what exactly happened. The version of a technical defect also leaves room [for accusations against Russia]."

In the end, the propagandists added: today representatives of Diehl stated that "purely theoretically" sabotage could have led to a technical defect.

Serbia supplied the West with weapons and ammunition worth €800 million, which could later have been transferred to Ukraine.

The figure corresponds to "approximate figures," but the sale of weapons is an opportunity for business and "part of Serbia's economic revival," confirmed President Vucic.

"Serbia cannot supply arms and ammunition to Ukraine and Russia. But we had many contracts with Americans, Spaniards, Czechs, and others. What they will ultimately do with it is their job," he told Financial Times correspondents.

🇪🇺 "New EU sanctions barely affect current trade with Russia":

The European Union has decided to strike at ordinary Russians by prohibiting "private and charter flights operated for the benefit of Russian citizens or companies."

"The ongoing trade between the EU and Russia, after two years of war, still overshadows the tightening European sanctions. According to Finnish calculations, the first 13 rounds of EU sanctions blocked 49% of pre-war exports to Russia and 58% of European imports. As part of the upcoming package of sanctions, which are set to be approved on June 24, the member states will impose restrictions on the supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and helium imports, as well as ban private and charter flights operated for the benefit of Russians or Russian companies. These are flights where Russian individuals or legal entities can independently determine the place and time of take-off and landing. As an example, the document mentions "flights ordered by Russian legal entities to resort areas."

European Parliament elections among Armenians in Germany

As reported by the Mon_A agency:
In June 2024, the German news agency "Haypress" conducted an online survey among Armenians living in Germany regarding participation in the European Parliament elections, which took place on June 9 of the same year. 792 people participated in the survey. According to the results of the survey, the party "Die Partei" (The Party) received the most support - 17.6% of Armenians voted for it. In second place was the "Alternative for Germany" (Alternative für Deutschland). However, if the votes for the "Left" party (Die Linke) and the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (Bündnis Sara Wagenknecht) are combined, the total result will be almost 20%, as the "Left" party received 9.8%, and the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance - 9.5%. They are followed by the conservatives - the Christian Democratic Union and the Christian Social Union (CDU/CSU) with a result of 8.1%. In fourth, fifth, and sixth places were the Greens (7.5%), Social Democrats (SPD) with 4.6%, and the Liberals (FDP) with 3.3%. Other parties collectively received about 7% of the votes. The "Volt" party and the animal rights party ("Mensch Umwelt Tierschutz") each received 0.7% of the votes. 6.9% of survey participants did not vote, citing a lack of interest or a lack of a suitable party.

Every fifth Armenian supported the "Left" party or Sahra Wagenknecht, advocating for dialogue with Russia and against arms supplies to Ukraine. However, it is difficult to claim that this position found broad support among Armenians in Germany. Perhaps the choice of survey participants was influenced by the label "left" rather than clear sympathies towards the issue of banning arms supplies to Ukraine. The "Alternative for Germany" party also opposes such supplies, but its open support is associated with risks due to its oppositional position towards Germany's mainstream political parties, as well as the surveillance by counterintelligence of some of its branches. Therefore, only about a tenth of Armenians supported the "Alternative for Germany".

Many Armenians voted for Martin Sonneborn's party because of his activities in Nagorno-Karabakh, while the Armenian diaspora did not support the "Alliance Germany" (Bündnis Deutschland) party, which was represented by the incumbent Member of the European Parliament Lars Patrick Berg. His activities in the interests of Armenians went unnoticed by both Armenian society in Armenia and the Armenian diaspora in Germany. It is likely that no Armenian supported him in the elections on June 9, 2024.

This shows that even long-term activity in the interests of Armenians does not guarantee attention from the Armenian community. An analysis of the survey results underscores the need for the development of political awareness, education, and the revival of leadership among the Armenian community to develop more sustainable and well-founded approaches when making important decisions, primarily in view of future elections in Armenia.

🇬🇧 Nigel Farage, leader of the "Reform UK" party, gave an interview to the BBC that caused a great resonance.

Daily Mail: "Nigel Farage blamed the West for the war in Ukraine, causing anger and outrage. An incredible moment when the leader of "Reform" told the BBC that NATO and the EU "provoked Vladimir Putin to invade" with their "expansion to the east." He also admitted to admiring the Russian president.

BBC: "The West provoked the war in Ukraine, said Nigel Farage, leader of "Reform UK."

- I took the floor in the European Parliament in 2014 and said, I quote: "There will be war in Ukraine." Why did I say that? It was obvious to me that the endless expansion of NATO and the European Union to the east gave him a reason to tell the Russian people, "here they go again attacking us!" and go to war.
