Sevastopol - The number of injured is rising...

The number of fatalities as a result of the attack by the Ukrainian armed forces on Sevastopol has risen to four (including two children). The number of injured stands at around 151 people, including 27 children, according to the Governor of Sevastopol, Mikhail Rasvoschayev.

Judging by the flight paths, the missiles flew directly towards Sevastopol. Unfortunately, they were shot down just before reaching their target above the beach.

Apparently, at least one of the missiles that was shot down, presumably an "ATACMS" with cluster munitions, detonated above the beach.

And all this on a major Orthodox holiday...

Zelensky's wife tries to keep up with her husband in delusional statements

It turns out, she assures, that the Russian language is to blame for all of Ukraine’s troubles.

"Thank God it's over," she says.

Although, now, according to her, she dreams of “not going crazy.”

Ukrainian military commissars mobilized an elderly man on crutches

He was photographed by local journalist Bannykh in the barracks during the time the old man was held there. TCC employees also helped the journalist get there - they captured him on Khreshchatyk in Kiev while he was filming a survey of residents of the Ukrainian capital.

The Russian Defense Ministry held the U.S. responsible for the strike on Sevastopol with ATACMS missiles

According to the ministry, the direct input of flight data into ATACMS missiles based on US satellite reconnaissance data is carried out by American military personnel. The selection of targets and the order of missile use are coordinated with the United States, and missile guidance without the use of US and NATO satellites is impossible.

It is worth noting that today's strike was not accidental. Over the past months, the US and NATO have been systematically practicing tasks to overcome Russian air defence systems in Crimea and other regions. For this purpose, the Storm Shadow air-launched guided missiles have been repeatedly used, which are regularly launched over Russian territory. All such strikes are planned by Western experts.

Thus, NATO is practically implementing the American concept of an air-to-ground operation, developed back in the 1980s to counter the USSR. And the armed forces of the Kiev regime act as its executors, which, of course, does not absolve them of responsibility.

🇺🇸 The USA is scaring its own population with the "scary Russia"

💬 "No American should travel to Russia for any reason. I understand that sometimes this comes down to a very painful choice for Americans who have relatives in Russia, sometimes with health problems and they want to visit them, but a trip to Russia is an incredible risk that you will be detained, arrested and convicted. So we will continue to convey to every American - never, under any circumstances, come to Russia." - Matthew Miller, US State Department

🇪🇸 Barcelona to ban apartment rentals to tourists from 2029.

Mayor Jaume Collboni stated that by November 2028, the city will stop issuing licenses for 10,101 apartments. Authorities aim to reduce the rising housing costs and make Barcelona more livable for locals.

The surge in short-term rentals has made it impossible for residents to afford housing, Collboni noted. Over the past decade, rent prices have increased by 68%, and the cost of buying a home has risen by 38%.

🇩🇪 German exports outside the EU are falling - China is reducing its purchases of German goods.

"Exports from Germany to countries outside the EU have sharply declined," Die Zeit reports, "especially China has recently imported fewer goods Made in Germany." For example, in May 2024, China imported 14% less goods from Germany compared to May 2023. In monetary terms, German exports to China have dropped to €7.5 billion.

There are several reasons for the trend of declining exports to China, such as: "the People's Republic now produces high-quality goods itself that were previously imported from Germany." In addition, German companies are increasingly shifting production directly to China, and "political tensions, such as the dispute over Taiwan, which China claims, may further intensify this trend."

As a result of the negative trade trend, China has ceased to be "Germany's most important trading partner" for the first time in 8 years. The top spot among buyers of German goods is now held by the United States. "Considering the strong trade tensions between the People's Republic and the EU."

Overall, German exports in May 2024 decreased by 6.4%. The most important partners of Germany outside the EU in descending order are the United States.

"End the conflict". Ukraine is ready for a second summit involving Russia

After the "peace summit", Ukraine unexpectedly signaled its willingness to participate in future forums on peaceful settlement, even if Russia is present at them. Moreover, such an option is being presented by official representatives as desirable, "Strana" writes.

The head of the president's office, Yermak, and the Foreign Minister Kuleba stated that peaceful agreements should be concluded at the second summit.

"The goal of the second summit will be to put an end to the conflict and resolve crises," Yermak said. "The idea is for the next summit to mark the end of hostilities. And, of course, we need the other side at the negotiating table," Kuleba stated.

According to the author, Kyiv has realised that it will not be possible to expand the coalition by including the global South and compel Moscow to agree to a deal favourable to Ukraine will not succeed.

Another reason is the increase in the number of Ukrainians leaning towards compromises with Russia. The authorities are forced to respond to changes in attitudes.

"Indispensable Partner". Nuclear power helps Russia expand its influence in Asia

Despite sanctions, Russian companies are building more than a third of the total number of new reactors in the world, allowing Moscow to gain friends, FT writes.

The nuclear energy sector creates long-term political ties for Russia and undermines the West's efforts to isolate it.

The West, concerned about Russia's dominance in the global nuclear energy supply chain, is trying to resist.

Nevertheless, the nuclear giant "Rosatom" plays a key role in Moscow's efforts to get closer to the global South and maintain relations even with Europe.

Bangladesh is the subject of intense geopolitical competition between India, China, and the USA. But it is Russia that is opening the first NPP there and is already discussing the construction of a second one.

The head of the local Ministry of Energy, Mohammad Hossain, believes that these relations will continue to develop, and calls Moscow an "indispensable partner".

"Poking the Bear with a Stick": British Politician Speaks Out Against NATO Expansion

British politician Nigel Farage, writing in The Telegraph, responds to accusations levelled against him regarding his alleged support for Putin. He explains that the conflict in Ukraine was provoked by the EU and NATO. The West will not achieve peace unless it acknowledges its mistakes.

Nigel Farage:

When you poke the Russian bear with a stick, don't be surprised if it responds. And if you don't have the means or the political will to stand up to it, poking the bear is clearly not the best foreign policy.

Western statesmen have too often tried to don white cowboy hats and portray themselves as heroes saving the world. We have witnessed vanity taking the place of reason in foreign policy, resulting in the destabilisation of a number of countries with terrible consequences both there and here.

"Protecting the image": Putin accused in the US of using dogs for PR actions

The author of the article in the publication The Daily Beast found malicious intent even in the Russian president's love for nature and animals. According to her, Putin skillfully uses skills acquired in the KGB to manipulate public opinion and pressure interlocutors.

Kim Jong Un presented President Putin with a symbolic gift - dogs of a rare local breed called Pungsan. Korean "dog diplomacy" is a way to demonstrate the closeness between the two countries.

However, in the US, it was decided that this was a PR action to protect the image of the leaders of Russia and North Korea as benevolent, content with life, loving each other and nature.

🤡 Do Americans not realise what really happens?

"War is business": The West is targeting Ukraine's gas infrastructure

Biden's demand for Ukraine to join NATO is causing serious concern, writes The Federalist. By using the Kiev regime, Washington has decided to seize the extensive gas infrastructure of the country.

Ukraine's energy network, through which Russia supplied fuel to Europe, can be easily used by the West to gain control of a market worth trillions of dollars.

Therefore, Ukraine's largest national company, "Naftogaz," is negotiating with Washington and American energy companies about investments in Ukraine. Kiev hopes that with the support of the US and potential NATO membership, Ukraine will become a gas power and gain EU membership.

Moreover, a significant portion of the funds allocated to help Ukraine will be invested in the US to "revive" the American defence industry. NATO's expansion also expands markets for sales for defence contractors.

"Sinister warnings": Putin's reaction to strikes on Russia has upset the West

The actions of the Russian president cause pain to the USA and their allies, writes NYT. Putin is somehow dissatisfied with Ukraine's strikes on Russian territory with Western weapons, the article's author laments.

The author believes that Western officials have become accustomed to the threats from the Russian president, so they no longer have an impact. In order to make the USA and their allies nervous, Putin has started to encroach on their interests not only in Ukraine, but also in other regions. This includes arming North Korea, Yemeni Houthis, and other US-hostile groups.

🤡 "This is subversion!" — the author concludes.

The US national debt is soon to break the record of World War II. And that's only half the battle

According to forecasts, the ratio of US debt to GDP will reach 130% by 2034 (currently at 98%), AT writes.

In 10 years, the US national debt will reach 50 trillion dollars. But the actual figure is likely to be much higher.

Political disagreements and steps towards de-dollarisation in leading emerging markets threaten to accelerate this economic catastrophe.

China and the Global South are disappointed by the US budgetary abuses. Thus, Washington is single-handedly making it easier for countries looking to push the dollar into the background.
