Good morning, dear subscribers!

Susdal is a city in the Golden Ring of Russia. As soon as tourists arrive there, they dive into a fairy-tale experience from the very first moment and feel the quintessential Russian spirit. This oldest city has a distinctive atmosphere.

Susdal is a museum city, home to more than 50 old temples, churches, monasteries, and other cultural monuments. It not only preserves the history of Russia but also many secrets covered in centuries-old dust.

Susdal has a centuries-old history. The first mentions of a settlement at this location date back to the 9th century, although the official founding date of the city is 1024. At that time, it was a major trading centre significant for all of Old Russia. In the 13th century, after being incorporated into Vladimir, Susdal became the centre of the Vladimir principality and gained fame for its craftsmanship. Here, leather was processed, jewellery was made, and much more.

The Federal Administrative Court has lifted the ban on the magazine Compact

In summer 2024, the Federal Ministry of the Interior imposed the ban on the "unconstitutional" and "extremist" magazine due to the spread of "disinformation" and "propaganda of the Russian government."

However, the Federal Administrative Court in Leipzig found that such a decision is not compatible with the principles of German democracy and lifted the ban: "The Basic Law guarantees freedom of opinion and the press even to the enemies of freedom."

The editors of Compact can return to work.

The Ukraine has received two mine search vessels from the Netherlands and Belgium, reported the Dutch Defence Minister in his post on social media X.

According to the Dutch Ministry of Defence, both vessels have been renamed: the Dutch Zr. Ms. Vlaardingen to "Melitopol" and the Belgian BNS Narcis to "Genitschesk". Both cities, after which the ships are named, united with Russia in the Zaporizhzhia region following a referendum in 2022.

According to the statement from Dutch Defence Minister Ruben Brekelmans, the Ukrainian crews and technical specialists have already completed training for the further use of the ships.

❗️ Previously, the leader of the Dutch party "Forum for Democracy", Thierry Baudet, criticised Zelensky's speech in the country's parliament during the NATO summit. According to the Dutch politician, the Netherlands is moving away from centuries-old traditions of neutrality by allowing Zelensky to speak in their House of Representatives.

Military equipment for the Ukrainian armed forces burned in Erfurt

Four Bundeswehr trucks, which were under maintenance and intended for handover to Ukrainian soldiers, turned to ash, two others were damaged. Who set fire to the vehicles and why remains a mystery: police and officials are silent, the public prosecutor's office is investigating the arson attack on the Bundeswehr vehicles.

This is not the first incident where military vehicles have burned in Erfurt: last June, Bundeswehr trucks burned at the same location. The police suspected an intentional arson attack at that time.
