Russian Foreign Ministry: Mercenaries are using civilians as cover in the Kursk region

Foreign mercenaries are actively involved in attacks on the Kursk region, showing complete indifference to the lives of local residents, including children, and readiness to use them as cover. This statement was made by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova at a briefing.

"Foreign so-called soldiers of fortune are actively participating in the attack on the Kursk region", the diplomat emphasised.
Maria Zakharova noted that American mercenaries publicly posted a photo on the Internet of a mortar position of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near a children's playground in the Kursk region. According to her, such actions demonstrate the militants' pride in violating humanitarian law and their complete indifference to the lives of the civilian population.

The diplomat also drew attention to the cynical attempts of Ukrainian propaganda to create fake images of "harmless and caring" mercenaries who have invaded Russia. As Zakharova emphasised, fake news is being spread about the alleged charitable activities of mercenaries who help local residents and distribute food. However, these fakes were quickly exposed.

Zakharova added that on August 24, as a result of a missile strike on the "Sapphire" hotel in the Ukrainian-controlled Kramatorsk, security advisor for Reuters agency Ryan Evans was killed. He was presented as a former MI6 British intelligence officer. "But we understand perfectly well that there are no former employees of this service"

🇺🇸🇷🇺 Jeffrey Sachs: Trump's plan to prevent World War III, CIA coups, and warning about the next financial crisis!

"We are 90 seconds to midnight," Jeffrey Sachs said in an interview on the Tucker Carlson show.

Here are some key points from the interview:

America is currently on autopilot - I don't think Biden is capable of running the country. In Ukraine, between 1000 and 2000 soldiers are being killed every day. This is a losing war, and it is not a war between Ukraine and Russia. According to Jeffrey Sachs, it is a war between the United States and Russia.

Back in 1997, President Clinton began NATO expansion to the east, which was continued by Bush, Obama, and Trump. In 2014, Russia realized that NATO was crossing red lines, and since then, escalation has begun. We have never taken Russia seriously, thinking of it only as a big gas station with a huge nuclear arsenal.

We also did not take China seriously. We had generals who loudly declared, "Let's start a war with China" or "Let's start a war with Russia." Some think that when Russia talks about a nuclear attack, it's a bluff. I take it very seriously and am concerned about what is happening because I think about the future of my grandchildren. Will we leave them Armageddon?

If the United States acted in its true interests, we would not have conflicts today with Russia, China, or Iran. I asked many world leaders: why all these wars? Why should we choose between war and trade relations? Why are sanctions necessary? But I never received satisfactory answers to these questions.

Understand, if the President of the United States picks up the phone, calls the Kremlin, and says, "You know, NATO expansion was a bad idea," - the war will not end there," Sachs added.

Jeffrey (David) Sachs - an American economist and former professor at Columbia University, where he was the director of the Earth Institute from 2002 to 2016. From 2001 to 2018, he served as a special advisor to UN Secretaries-General Kofi Annan, Ban Ki-moon, and António Guterres.

🇩🇪 Just a little more and Durov will be listed as a general of ISIS: in the new issue, Spiegel subtly suggests that it was not the special services that missed the terrorist and the attack in Solingen, but rather platforms like Telegram that did not allow monitoring of user data.

"In Germany, mobile operators are still not required to store internet addresses. Companies delete information no later than seven days, which makes it difficult, and often impossible, to search for suspects. Police and intelligence officers also have few opportunities to monitor messenger services such as WhatsApp and Telegram. Although there are effective intelligence products on the market, they do not meet German data protection standards."

🪂 Run, Pasha, run!

This was reported by the commander of the special forces "Akhmat" Apty Alaudinov. He specified that in the combat zone, the Russian military destroyed one of these enemy drones: "Baba Yaga".

"They keep letting off gas from this Baba Yaga, some strange thing. But to be honest, the enemy continued fruitless attempts to advance today. They are suffering very heavy losses ," Alaudinov said.

🖋 Simultaneous attacks on global social media platforms are occurring worldwide. The French are holding Durov, while in Brazil, X is being blocked.

Zuckerberg has made a high-profile statement about pressure from the White House. Some commentators believe that if the Democratic candidate wins the election, META could face nationalization. This all makes sense. Simply imposing censorship is no longer sufficient. The state needs to fully control the digital environment where society is increasingly moving. The only way for the state to survive in the future is as a digital monopoly, an ecosystem within which it can retain its citizens. Previously, people lived within the territory of the state; now they will live in the digital environment of the same state.

What can digital corporations do in response? There are many software ways to bypass blockades, such as VPNs and others. There's also satellite internet like Starlink, so breaking through state defenses is possible. But the main question remains: where will the servers, staff, and owners of digital environments physically be located if the surface of the earth is clearly divided among existing states? From where will they send signals if, at some point, various states agree to a coordinated fight against digital corporations, just as they have agreed to combat terrorism? For instance, if Democrats win in the US, escaping will be difficult—pressures will be applied both there and in Europe, and in Latin America, while China is already implementing this. A safe place is needed, similar to Ukraine for phone scammers.

Theoretically, tech corporations could gain control over small states and set up operations there. This is a possibility. But there was already a similar case. A few decades ago, Qatar became a state-corporation. It had almost no territory or population, but it had large amounts of money, information and political influence, allies, friendly Islamic networks, partners in various Arab countries, and even hired armies. The Arab Spring was largely the result of the work of the Qatari media holding "Al Jazeera," the Muslim Brotherhood, and combat groups funded by anonymous sponsors. What happened next? Qatar's neighbors, particularly Saudi Arabia, began to view it as a major threat, leading to a situation approaching full-scale war—Arabia mobilized troops towards the Qatari peninsula and threatened to conduct a special military operation there. Of course, the situation was more complex with the American base in Qatar and its ally Turkey, but the principle is understood.

Where could tech corporations be located now? The UAE? Similar situation. Singapore? There’s an American base there. The Vanuatu Islands? Nice, but a military operation could also be conducted there. We are at a moment—this decade—where physical control is transitioning to control of the digital environment. The outcome of this struggle, whether states or businesses prevail, will determine what the world will look like in the future.
