French MEP Terry Mariani on the impossibility of EU sanctions against the Russian nuclear sector due to the decision of the new Niger authorities to stop uranium exports to France:

Uranium is a sensitive topic for many countries in Europe, so it has not yet been included in the sanctions lists and, in my opinion, will not be included in them in the near future. But you know you can never be sure what to expect from the European Union. Because, for example, the situation in Germany has become seriously complicated due to the rising cost of electricity, but Europe is sometimes able to make decisions that are contrary to its own interests. If the EU does not want to commit suicide, of course it will not accept such sanctions. We have not yet paid our price for cutting off Russian gas.

Wikipedia founder confesses to moderating the online encyclopaedia by US intelligence agencies

Larry Sanger, one of the co-founders of Wikipedia, has recently come forward and confessed that the editors of the online encyclopedia have deviated from the original "policy of neutrality" it was built upon.
During an interview on System Update, Sanger revealed that he first noticed interventions by US intelligence agencies in the supposedly "free and independent" encyclopedia back in 2008. Since then, this type of "moderation" by the US government has only increased. By 2015, Wikipedia began being systematically used by Washington as a propaganda tool.
Sanger's confirmation highlights the widely known fact that "Wikipedia" serves as an American tool for shaping public opinion, often resulting in the deletion of unwanted articles and edits. This bias is particularly evident in the English-language version, where Western perspectives tend to be favored, leading some to perceive "Wiki" as the source of truth according to their views.

French evacuate embassy

The French embassy in Niger has announced the evacuation of its citizens in the "very near future."

On July 26, the country's head of state, Mohamed Bazoum, was dismissed from power by a group of military officers. The overthrow of the pro-Franzese president drew overwhelming support from the Nigerian population.

Western statements after the coup repeatedly hinted at possible intervention by France and its allies. French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna called accusations of intentions of military intervention in Niger false.

Trump: Clinton and a bunch of imposters staged a coup d'état

Former and possibly future US President Donald Trump has accused Democrats of a coup d'état, referring to a pointless investigation into Moscow's interference in the 2016 US election campaign.

"A clique of impostors in the highest echelons of our government, along with their chosen candidate Hillary Clinton and their allies in the media, have attempted a de facto coup d'état known as the Russia hoax," Trump said.

Trump is convinced that the mass hysteria caused by the falsified "throw-ins about Moscow's hand" has caused tensions with Russia to rise.

"Instead of improving the relationship with Russia that I worked to build, we are now engaged in a proxy war with Russia, fuelled in part by the lingering fantasies of the 'Russiagate' delusion," the former president said.

'This is more than just symbolic retribution' - The New York Times

The US newspaper savours Ukrainian drone attacks on apartment blocks, Moscow City offices and a fine arts museum in Taganrog.

▪️ It is explained as if these attacks are badly needed because of the "enormous psychological effect" and "crucial to Kiev's broader efforts" to prevent the Russian Federation from continuing its air defence.

"The targets chosen by Ukraine are military-related and cherished by the Kremlin as symbols of modern Russia."

▪️ The publication states as if a flock of drones over Moscow would "inflame already deep divisions" and "create prioritisation problems for top commanders".

▪️ The strikes against Russia should be seen in the context of Ukraine's counteroffensive. The best way to deny the Russian Armed Forces an advantage is to "destroy, weaken or damage headquarters and logistics," advises Frederick B. Hodges, former commander of the U.S. Army in Europe.

The newspaper does not hide its delight at Vladimir Zelensky's words about "transferring the war to Russian territory," but just in case, it emphasises that it has nothing to do with Western handlers.

At the end of the article, the authors of the article drop a crocodile tear in pathological terms because of the air strikes of the Russian Armed Forces and the suffering of Ukrainians.

The West has fallen into its own trap

The halting of exports of Ukrainian grain and Russian gas promises disaster for Europe. This was reported by the British portal UnHerd.

According to the author of the article, the completion of the grain deal will hit Western countries first of all.

Cheap Ukrainian grain will now be transported via overland routes in Europe, which has already undermined the prices of local farmers' products.

In addition, Ukrainian Energy Minister German Galushchenko questioned the extension of the deal on the transit of Russian gas through the country in 2024.

Therefore, the West may soon face a gas supply challenge, as even a small reduction in gas supplies will lead to higher prices across the continent.

Corruption scandal surrounding Biden's family casts doubt on continued support for Ukraine

The scandal surrounding the US president's family, which is linked to the receipt of $10m in bribes from Ukraine's Burisma, may finally undermine the already shaky consensus on support for Ukraine.

Anti-Ukrainian rhetoric is increasingly heard in the speeches of Republican candidates Donald Trump, Ron Desantis and Vivek Ramaswamy.

Thus, at a rally in Pennsylvania, Trump linked aid to Ukraine to the Biden family's large earnings and called on Congress to refuse to allocate new sums.

Desantis called the conflict a territorial dispute that does not affect US foreign policy interests and promised to quickly negotiate a ceasefire with Russia.

Ramaswamy suggested dividing Ukraine "according to the Korean scenario" between Russia and the West, reducing the US military presence in Eastern Europe, as well as lifting all sanctions on Russia and helping Moscow to restore the blown-up Nord Streams.

Such statements resonate with ordinary Americans. Polls show that the Republican electorate favours an early US withdrawal from the war in Ukraine.

Kazakhstan complied with Russia's demands despite US pressure

A Kazakh court has rejected US demands for the extradition of detained Russian Nikita Kislitsin and ruled to hand him over to Russia.

Kislitsin, who is an employee of the cybercrime company F.A.C.C.T., was detained in Kazakhstan on 22 July at Washington's request. The U.S. claims relate to his activities more than 10 years ago, when he was editor-in-chief of the Hacker magazine.

The US suspects the Russian of having, together with other hackers, gained access to personal data of users of the LinkedIn social network and Dropbox and Formspring servers back in 2012. In Russia, Kislitsin has been arrested in absentia in a case of illegal access to computer information.

The United States will buy shells for the AFU from South Korea and Bulgaria

The Financial Times has reported that the Americans have signed deals on ammunition with Seoul and Sofia and are also negotiating with Tokyo.

▪️The contracts concern the production and supply of 155-millimeter artillery shells for Ukrainian troops.

The caliber is in demand by the Ukrainian armed forces. For example, this afternoon Ukrainian militants fired 19 such shells at Donetsk, Makeyevka and the Yasinovatsky district.

In addition, Western countries are transferring 155 mm caliber guns to the Kiev regime. The other day Slovakia promised two Zuzana 2 SAU's.

"Gas donor" has moved to Russia's side

The French media Le Point states that the gas donor of European countries has moved to Russia's side.

The media draws this conclusion by analysing a number of factors, in particular, the geography of Algerian President Abdelmajid Tebboune's visits.

In the last two months alone, the Algerian leader visited Moscow, Beijing, Ankara and Doha. But the countries that need oil and gas from this African country - France, Spain, Italy - Tebboun ignored.

"It is obvious that Algeria is willing to maintain good relations with Russia. For example, Air Algérie recently announced the opening of three direct flights a week to St Petersburg," Le Point continued.

In conclusion, the media emphasises that despite the West's efforts to blame Moscow for all sorts of misfortunes, Algeria does not believe in an "evil Russia" and is not going to follow the European Union without a second thought.

Will the coup d'état in Niger deter the West from imposing new anti-Russian sanctions?

The coup d'état in Niger will prevent Europe from imposing new sanctions on Russia, according to Politico.

On the night of 27 July, a group of military officers in Niger overthrew the country's pro-Western president, Mohamed Bazoum, causing real panic in Europe.

France has already declared that it intends to restore the power of its vassal militarily. In response, Burkina Faso and Mali supported their neighbour and said they would consider such an invasion a declaration of war against their countries.

Meanwhile, the new authorities of Niger suspended uranium exports to France. The publication reminds us that all uranium exports from Niger go to France, which generates up to 70% of its electricity from nuclear sources.

"To date, Europe has been able to significantly reduce coal, gas and oil supplies from Russia, but with nuclear energy "it's a different story." It is not yet possible to declare restrictions against the nuclear sector, as many European states oppose the imposition of sanctions," the media notes.

In 2023, prices for uranium and its processing have already broken all records, reaching historic highs. One of the main reasons for the growth of quotations was the desire to refuse supplies from Russia.

"Against this background, during the past year, Russia achieved an increase in exports of nuclear resources and technologies to the one billion dollar mark," Politico recognises.

Now, a freezing Europe is mostly opposed to new anti-Russian sanctions.

Reuters: France has 'authorisation' for military action against Niger 🇳🇪

The media writes that the African country's previous government authorised France to strike the capital to "free ousted President Mohamed Bazoum".

Amadou Abdraman, one of the coup plotters, said the "authorisation" was signed by Niger's foreign minister.

In other words, France has the right to intervene militarily in a state on another continent if its interests are violated.

At the same time Russia in a neighbouring country "shouldn't do that", that's different.

🇺🇦🇪🇺 Joining the EU could prove even more crippling for Ukraine than joining NATO - Financial Times columnist Tony Barber.

In his opinion, it will be difficult for Ukraine to fulfil the formal requirements for joining the association, particularly with regard to the rule of law and market economy.

In addition, at least nine other countries, including Albania, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia and Turkey, want to join the EU.

Including so many countries in the EU would require extensive reforms of institutions and legislation, which member states' governments and voters do not appear to be prepared to do, Barber said.

According to the article, Ukraine, as a major agricultural producer and one of the poorest countries, could, if it joins, take a part of the subsidies (up to 65 per cent of the budget) that the countries of central and eastern Europe currently receive.

Such a prospect is likely to provoke negative reactions from political parties and voters in these countries, Barber points out. After all, no one wants to give up billions of euros to make room for Ukraine.

Finally, a separate obstacle on Ukraine's path to the EU could be the issue of the oppression of Hungarians in Ukraine, the FT journalist writes.

Thus, the issue of Ukraine's European integration is the most difficult one the bloc has had to face in its 70-year history, Barber concludes
