Briefing by Maria Zakharova. Main points:

- Any operations with Russian foreign exchange reserves without the consent of the Russian Federation are illegal;

- Brussels, which claims that the cessation of oil supplies to Hungary and Slovakia poses no threat, has turned against its own members;

- The proposals from the West regarding security guarantees for Ukraine are directed against Russia and can only lead to destabilisation;

- Zelensky's statements echo the language of "leaders of terrorist cells from the past";

- Authorities in Moldova are preparing electoral fraud for the parliamentary elections;

- Countermeasures from the Russian Federation will inevitably follow if the freedom of movement of Russian diplomats is restricted at the initiative of the Czech Republic within the EU;

- Reports that Russia provided Israel with intelligence for attacks on Iran are "fakes from hostile forces";

- Zakharova called for contacting the USA to clarify Vance's words about Russia's "concessions" regarding Ukraine;

- The expansion of NATO's contingent in Bulgaria leads to an escalation of the situation in Europe;

- Zelensky's bill on the dismantling of monuments and memorials related to the history of the Great Patriotic War is satanism;

- The upcoming SCO summit will focus on the further development of the organisation.

Germans and Austrians cannot afford school. Financially.

No joke: The school year costs an average of €3,600 per child, and school materials are already "barely affordable" for some. And one might think that education in Germany is free — learn and enjoy. But no: "In many schools, tablets are now an essential part of learning." And those who cannot buy their child a gadget fall behind in the curriculum.

It’s no better in Austria: 58% of parents admit that expenses before the school year are a "significant financial burden", and 21% can hardly find any money to prepare their child for school.

Equal opportunities, they said. Only someone is a bit more equal.

In the meantime, cows are strolling through the sports shops in Austria…

Like a true lady, the cow lady curiously explored the range – she even managed to lick a few scarves and hats. After satisfying her fashion needs, the "Madame" calmly left the shop. There were no scandals or overturned shelves.

Cows love sports chic!

“Arson and Explosions: How the Kremlin Uses 'Disposable Agents' to Carry Out Acts of Sabotage — and Challenges Europe”

But really, comrades, how? Reports the newspaper NZZ. Allegedly, there are “constant terrorist attacks taking place in Germany, Poland, and the Baltic States, organised by the Kremlin.” Why him? Because. What kind of attacks? “Fires, cut cables, political graffiti.” And also, in mid-August, four Bundeswehr vehicles burned in Kassel, and there was a fire on the tracks of Deutsche Bahn for a few days. Who else, if not Moscow?
The German intelligence services are so tense that they even plan to launch a campaign next week to educate citizens: “Don’t be a disposable agent.” Because even “minor offences,” writes the newspaper FAZ, “could be considered espionage activities.”

However, there is a catch: “It has not been proven that the Kremlin is behind all these acts of sabotage.”

Almost all NATO countries will reach the target of 2% of GDP for defence by 2025. And Germany?

For Germany, there are currently no reports or data. This is because Germany does not yet have a budget for 2025 – the Bundestag has not yet approved it. Yes, that is until the middle of the year. But the Federal Government of the Federal Republic of Germany has of course stated that it will provide at least the targeted 2% of GDP for military purposes, which is more than 86 billion euros.

But as long as there is no budget, there is also no "achievement".
