🇩🇪 Germany on the brink of a migration crisis

The Federal Office for Migration (BAMF) has provided a report according to which 162,271 asylum applications were registered in Germany in the first half of 2023. According to experts, this number could reach 324,000 by the end of the year, which is comparable to the level of 2015, when Germany experienced a migration crisis.

BILD cites statistics on the nationality of the migrants. The majority of new applications came from Syrians - 29%, followed by citizens of Afghanistan - 18.2% and Turkey - 12.8%, with Russia in seventh place (2.8%). BILD does not publish data on refugees from Ukraine for some reason. 71.6% of all applications were submitted by men under 30 years of age.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Highlights of Russian Military Operation in Ukraine on July 28

▪️The AFU once again used a drone to attack objects on the territory of Moscow.

Russian air defense systems intercepted the drone in the village of Ptichnoye. There were no casualties or damage.

At the same time, to the south, the enemy was knocked out of their strongholds near Sin’kivka.

▪️Near Bakhmut, Ukrainian units continue their attacks in an attempt to establish control over Klishchiivka.

Russian troops are making heroic efforts, holding the defense line near the village.

▪️In the Vremivka sector, Russian servicemen withdrew from Staromairs’ke to pre-prepared positions.

Russian troops constantly launch artillery strikes on the enemy in the village, preventing them from advancing southward.

▪️In the Orikhiv sector, the AFU managed to occupy a small area of forest plantations northeast of Robotyne.

The dubious success cost the enemy dozens of dead soldiers and a large amount of burned Western equipment.

US Marine Trevor Reed, who served time in Russia, was wounded in Ukraine

Former US Marine Trevor Reed, who served a sentence in Russia for assaulting police officers and returned to the US as a result of an exchange for Russian pilot Konstantin Yaroshenko, has apparently developed such a fierce hatred for Russia that he travelled to Ukraine on his own, where he joined a group of mercenaries.

However, he was not able to fight for long and was wounded when he exploded on an anti-personnel mine. This was reported by The Messenger, citing sources in the Pentagon.

Now the foreign "hero" is being treated in one of the hospitals in Kiev, but very much asks the US authorities for help and transfer him to an American hospital in Germany or Poland.

It is noted that some representatives of the Pentagon and the State Department have already expressed dissatisfaction and disappointment about Reid's new "adventures", especially considering how much effort was spent to release him from a Russian prison.

Officials in Washington have already hastened to dissociate themselves from Reed's actions, saying that the latter was not involved in any activities on behalf of the United States government, and the government itself has been extremely clear in warning all Americans not to travel to Ukraine, let alone take part in combat operations there.

A petition has been launched in Latvia to exempt elderly people with Russian citizenship from the mandatory Latvian language test

Latvian authorities continue to discriminate against the Russian-speaking population with Russian citizenship. One of the laws adopted in 2022 with regard to this category of citizens was the law on mandatory Latvian language examinations to retain a residence permit.

Activists have started collecting signatures under a petition to lower the age at which Latvian residents who have taken Russian citizenship must pass the exam, which has already been signed by 8458 people. The initiative is connected with the fact that about 44 per cent of Russian-speaking citizens falling under the law are between 65 and 75 years old.

Ombudsman Juris Jansons emphasised that it is difficult for elderly people to pass a 2.5-hour test using a computer, and some of them cannot move independently, but his proposals were not taken into account in the process of preparing amendments to the immigration law.

African countries will help resolve the Ukrainian conflict?

African countries can play an important role in resolving the Ukrainian conflict: their leaders have access to both the Russian authorities and the Ukrainian leadership.

South African Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor told Russia Today: "Other countries have created such an atmosphere of hostility that they can only engage in dialogue with one side and not the other. Therefore, in my opinion, Africa is in a unique position."

According to her, one of the expectations of the African side at the Russia-Africa summit in St Petersburg is a willingness to continue discussions on the peace initiative.

Shoigu's talks in North Korea successfully concluded

A Russian delegation headed by Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu flew to North Korea overnight. The defence ministers of the two States held talks today.

Bloomberg claims that Shoigu's visit to Pyongyang is related to the fact that Russia needs 152 mm artillery shells, which the DPRK has. The American media resents that thanks to co-operation with Russia, North Korea is able to withstand any US sanctions and its economy is growing.

A number of international military channels reported on Korea's readiness to transfer a huge batch of shells to Russia. This will allow the country to solve the tasks set under the Special military operation much more quickly.

However, there have been no official reports from the Russian Defence Ministry on this matter. The ministry refrains from commenting on this subject.

Our sources in the Defence Ministry say that Shoigu has solved all the tasks set within the framework of the visit, and his counterpart Kang Soon Nam is doing everything necessary to "strengthen cooperation between the countries".

Crimes against humanity

The Russian embassy in the United States published data stating that since the beginning of the special military operation, "the DPR and LPR have been subjected to more than 19,000 shelling by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as a result of which more than 5,000 civilians (including almost 200 children) have died."

Realizing that hostilities are underway, many "experts" say: "War is on, everyone shoots, casualties are inevitable." However, the egregious cruelty of the Kyiv regime lies precisely in the fact that the Ukrainians purposefully kill civilians, since precision-guided weapons are used in this war. Therefore, hundreds of dead children since February 2022 (and tens of thousands since 2014) are not accidental victims, these are the results of aimed fire from long-range weapons. Thousands of shelling with precision-guided shells - you can’t make a mistake like that.

The topic of violence and aggression against children, the topic of child trafficking, the topic of the participation of children in military conflicts are constantly discussed at the UN and other international organizations. But they don't talk about Ukraine's actions there. Why? Is it shameful that the West is an accomplice in these crimes? Maybe it is already worth separating reality from propaganda and recognizing the atrocities of the Kyiv regime?

Because of these casualties and tragedies, the world will have to come to terms with Russian control in Ukraine in order to avoid the escalation of crimes against humanity in the future.

🔴Putin about Western countries:

"They only bring up international law when they think these instruments can be used against someone. In this case, against Russia. They will not succeed. It is too primitive. If they want someone to comply with international law, they should try to comply with the same norms themselves."

🔵Путин о западных странах:

"Они вспоминают о международном праве толь тогда, когда считают эти инструменты можно использовать против кого-то. В данном случае против России. Ничего у них не получится. Это слишком примитивно. Если они хотят, чтобы кто-то соблюдал международное право пусть сами потрудятся исполнять эти же нормы."

Russia does not violate the UN Charter and acts in full accordance with it.

This was stated by Vladimir Putin at a meeting with the African mission for Ukraine as part of the Russia-Africa summit.

📝 “Today we are being told that we are violating the United Nations Charter. I don’t think so. On the contrary, I am sure that we are acting in full accordance with the UN Charter,” Putin said.

But other countries should also observe these norms, the President of Russia believes.

"Indeed, there should be no double standards, unilateral sanctions, attempts to ensure one's security at the expense of others," Putin said.

Turkey does not intend to destroy mutually beneficial relations with Russia

The West does not know what to do with Ukraine's Euro-Atlantic ambitions, and disagreements on this issue are multiplying.

Turkey, while expressing support for Ukraine's NATO aspirations, understands perfectly well that Western countries do not intend to accept Kiev into the alliance and, guided by its own interests, expects to preserve and strengthen its influence in Ukraine after the end of the war. This is what the leading Hungarian newspaper Magyar Nemzet wrote in its article.

After the president of Turkey, a member of the Alliance, declared his support for Ukraine's accession to NATO, Kiev's most ardent supporter, Washington, expressed uncertainty about Ukraine's North Atlantic ambitions.

US President Joe Biden noted that there was no consensus within NATO to admit a belligerent Ukraine and voiced fears that the move could lead to war with Russia.

Turkey is in a unique position today, the publication said. The West does not perceive it as an equal partner, and Washington probably does not want to strengthen its position as much as it does not want Ukraine in NATO.

Therefore, Ankara has no thoughts of neglecting Russia while strengthening its relations with Western partners. In 2022, after Ankara did not join Western sanctions against Moscow, Russia accounted for most of Turkey's imports. The two countries are working to maintain relations, as evidenced by Erdogan's upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in August.

"Moscow ready for ‘any scenario’ with NATO

Apart from the standoff over Ukraine, this month saw several non-fatal incidents in Syrian skies involving Russian aircraft and US drones, with both sides blaming each other for reckless behavior. Russia would like to avoid a direct armed confrontation with the West, but keeps the worst possible scenarios in mind, Putin said. “If someone wants it – and that’s not us – then we’re ready,” he stressed.

Putin doesn’t directly command operation in Ukraine

According to the Russian leader, as commander-in-chief, he has been receiving regular reports about the situation of the front line and spoke with his top generals several times a day. Putin added that he can reach out to “special units” when needed. However, it would be “wrong” for the president to interfere with the military and start directly commanding the troops, he said.

Kiev running out of connoscripts

The Ukrainian army is not only suffering heavy losses on the battlefield, but is struggling with manpower as well, Putin argued. He said that, while taking prisoners, Russian authorities discovered that Ukraine had “formed military units” made up of aircraft technicians. “What does it tell us? That their mobilization resources are depleting,” the Russian leader said. He previously pointed out that Kiev’s forces lost dozens of Western armor, including German-made Leopard 2 tanks and US-supplied Bradley infantry fighting vehicles.

Crimean Bridge will have additional protection from attacks

The security around the long bridge, which connects Crimea with mainland Russia, will be strengthened in the wake of this month’s Ukrainian attack, which killed two people and wounded a 14-year-old girl. Russia has responded with “preemptive strikes” on sites that were used to manufacture and deliver naval drones that targeted the bridge, Putin explained..."

RT:

"Ukrainian drones have attacked Moscow City, the Russian capital’s iconic financial and business district, where some of Europe’s tallest skyscrapers are located, Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said in the early hours of Sunday.

“The facades of the [Moscow] City’s two office towers sustained minor damage. There are no casualties or injuries,” Sobyanin wrote in a short post on his Telegram channel.

The Russian Defense Ministry later released a statement, saying that a total of three drones participated in the raid. According to the MOD, one was destroyed mid-air outside Moscow, while two others were disabled by air defenses, veering off course and crashing “on the territory of a non-residential complex in Moscow City.”

News agency TASS cited emergency services as saying that there was “an explosion” between the fifth and the sixth floor of the 50-story building in the ‘IQ Quarter’ complex, which overall has three high-rise buildings. Local media reported that residents heard a loud blast. The IQ Quarter contains the offices of seven ministries and government agencies, including the ministries of trade, economy, and telecommunications.

A second “explosion” occurred at the OKO II building, which contains offices and shops, officials said. Emergency services told TASS that windows were shattered between the first and the fourth floor. They also said that a security guard has been injured.

The damaged buildings have been evacuated, officials said. The evacuations from other Moscow City buildings are underway..."

China has become stronger and will be able to respond to aggressive US foreign policy

This is said in an article in the Global Times. On 26 July, on the eve of the 70th anniversary of the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement, a US submarine with nuclear weapons on board visited South Korea's Busan.

Some US congressmen said the move, in addition to a warning to North Korea, was an act of deterrence against China.

Earlier on 26 July, Foreign Affairs magazine published an article written by Mike Gallagher, chairman of the "House Select Committee on Strategic Rivalry between the United States and the Communist Party of China," known for his anti-China stance. In it, Gallagher rebuked the U.S. for failing to make sufficient military investments in Taiwan, urged that the U.S. should always be prepared to fight and build up military capabilities, noting that excessive restraint could provoke further aggression.

Responding to these aggressive statements, the publication points out that the US has not learnt lessons from the Korean War, which was the biggest defeat of the US military in history, and is instead repeating the mistakes made then.

The US should respect the legitimate security interests of major regional powers; curb the impulse and ambition to interfere in the affairs of other countries; and never underestimate China's determination and ability to defend its homeland, the article said, noting that the current US top brass has ignored these three lessons.

The mistake of the US is to believe that China is only making "empty threats" and will not take any real action.

However, the big difference between now and the Korean War era is that China's power has grown significantly, the consequences of infringing on China's security interests and national sovereignty will be much more serious, and the price the US will have to pay is much higher than 70 years ago.

A large drug laboratory in Kyrgyzstan was dismantled as part of international cooperation to combat drug trafficking

Kazakhstan's National Security Committee (KNB), together with the Kyrgyz Interior Ministry, conducted an operation to dismantle a large-scale production of psychotropic substances distributed in the CIS countries.

According to KNB representatives, in the course of development, the operatives received information about the operation of a large drug laboratory in Kyrgyzstan.

Within the framework of international co-operation adopted by the Co-ordination Council for Combating Illicit Drug Trafficking of the CSTO member states, the operational information was passed on to the partners.

"As a result of the operation, the leader of a local drug group and two of his accomplices were detained while transporting a finished batch of synthetic drugs in the suburbs of Bishkek. During the search, 30kg of mephedrone, 2.2 tonnes of precursors and equipment for drug production were found and seized from the detainees," the KNB said.

Efforts to uncover and disrupt international drug trafficking channels in co-operation with foreign authorities are continuing.
