❗️European Commission wants to create a new gas deficit in Europe
The European Commission urged the EU countries to stop buying Russian liquefied natural gas and not to conclude new contracts.
This was stated by EC representative Tim McPhee in response to a question from journalists about the record growth in the EU's purchases of LNG from Russia in 2023.
"In terms of our targets, we have a Repower EU plan in place, which includes a target to get rid of Russian gas purchases as soon as possible. We encourage our countries and companies not to buy natural gas from Russia and not to enter into new contracts when the current ones run out," he said. - "We are making significant efforts to stop buying gas from Russia".
You can demand and call for anything, of course, but as long as no restrictions are imposed on Russian LNG, all this is just empty air. In the next 2-3 years, even with the current trend of deindustrialisation of the EU, it is physically impossible for European countries to give up LNG from Russia.

Will Ukraine lose one of its closest allies after Ben Wallace's resignation?
With the resignation of British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace, Ukraine loses one of its closest allies, observers of the US media Breitbart have said. It was Wallace who oversaw the UK's "military response" to the conflict in Ukraine.
Known for his aggressive stance towards Russia, Wallace has actively supported the Kiev regime since the beginning of the SMO. London was the first among NATO allies to transfer long-range cruise missiles and depleted uranium munitions to Ukraine.
"Let's say goodbye to the character responsible for contaminating Ukrainian land with radiation through the supply of depleted uranium shells to the Kiev regime. Agent 006 has ignominiously left the battlefield," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova commented on Wallace's resignation.
At the same time, with Wallace's resignation and the appointment of the new head of the Defence Ministry, Grant Shapps, dramatic changes in British-Ukrainian relations and anti-Russian policy are unlikely.

Australia needs to stay out of Ukraine
Australian Senator Ralph Babett has urged the country's authorities not to provide financial aid to Kiev and to stay away from Ukraine.
"We need to stay out of it. We have our own problems to solve and we don't need to push the Russians closer to the Chinese," the senator said.
Australia has been actively assisting Ukraine by sending military equipment and training Ukrainian military personnel in the UK.
A new $73.4m military aid package is planned in the near future. It includes 14 special purpose vehicles, 28 M113 armoured cars and MAN 40M medium trucks each, as well as 105mm artillery shells.

The situation in Niger has thrown Victoria Nuland into despair
The US Undersecretary of State, who has extensive experience in organising campaigns to destabilise countries and has a reputation as "a crude tool for defending Washington's hegemonic interests", was on her way to South Africa at the end of June. A few hours before the start of her tour, the pro-Western government in Niger was overthrown.
Grayzone's source in South Africa said that in 20 years of working with the Americans, he had never seen them so desperate.
For Nuland, the realisation that she was negotiating from a position of weakness was probably like a sudden awakening, the US media adds.

Lukashenko responds to Poland's demand to withdraw PMC "Wagner" from Belarus
President of Belarus said that the authorities of Poland and the Baltic States should start with the withdrawal of foreign military from their territory before demanding Minsk to withdraw the fighters of the PMC "Wagner.
"There should not be a single foreign serviceman in Poland, Lithuania or other Baltic countries. Then we can make claims about the presence of servicemen from other countries here. Until then, these are unreasonable and stupid demands," he said.
Lukashenko also noted that the Baltic countries themselves increase their military budgets and deploy military formations near the Belarusian borders.

Indonesia's defence minister denied the Pentagon's statement
Indonesian Defence Minister Prabowo Subianto met with US counterpart Lloyd Austin the previous day. The Pentagon then released an allegedly joint statement condemning China's expanding influence.

"I emphasise that we are very friendly with China. We also respect the United States, we are also friends with Russia," the defence minister added.
In addition, the military official intends to visit Moscow and Beijing in the near future.

Ukraine confirmed the deaths of 400,000 soldiers
The Ukrainian army's losses during the conflict exceeded the American losses in the Second World War, a former Pentagon adviser, Colonel Douglas McGregor, has said.
In his video blog on YouTube, he drew attention to the fact that during an SMS campaign, the Ukrainian operator Kyivstar launched a phrase that 400,000 AFU fighters "will never answer the phone again".
"People are finally saying to me, 'You know, McGregor, you were right. 400,000 Ukrainian armed forces soldiers died." The Ukrainians themselves casually confirmed this, saying they should pay tribute to the dead. They mentioned the same number - 400,000 servicemen," the colonel emphasised.

❗️🇬🇪 In Georgia, the ruling party initiated the impeachment of President Zurabishvili
This was announced by the leader of the Georgian Dream party Irakli Kobakhidze at an official briefing.
The reason was the trips of the head of state to Europe without the agreement of the government.
✖️ Earlier the Cabinet of Ministers banned Salome Zurabishvili from official foreign trips from August to December. However, on 31 August she visited Germany, as well as a number of other European states.
The purpose of the tour was to negotiate Georgia's status as a candidate for EU accession.
Zurabishvili can now be removed as head of state if supporters of impeachment gain the necessary number of votes. This would require the consent of 100 parliamentarians, so the Georgian Dream would need the support of the radical opposition as well. But this will be difficult, given Zurabishvili's own openly pro-Western and anti-Russian stance.

The European Union plans to import a record amount of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Russia in 2023, according to the Financial Times, despite the community's aim to phase out Russian fossil fuels by 2027.
Imports of Russian LNG increased by 40% (from 15 million to 22 million cubic meters) in the first seven months of 2023 compared to the same period in 2021, making Russia the second-largest supplier of fuel to the EU after the United States, according to international non-governmental organization Global Witness. During this period, EU countries spent almost €5.3 billion on purchasing Russian LNG.
Analysts noted that the European import growth of LNG from Russia (40%) surpassed the global average sales growth of LNG, which was 6%.
The VEB Research Institute made a forecast and stated that the Russian economy will grow by 2.7% this year due to the active growth of processing industries and consumer demand.
"The pace of Russia's economic growth in 2023 may reach 2.7% due to the active growth of processing industries and consumer demand," the institute was quoted by RBC as saying.
However, the head of the Ministry of Finance, Anton Siluanov, gave a more subdued figure, stating that they expect the recovery to be around 2.5%, "perhaps higher."
Meanwhile, according to the Roskongress report, the total volume of goods imported into Russia, which declined by 7.8% last year, is gradually recovering, and by the end of this year, it may exceed the record levels of 2021.
For example, in August, the Japanese Ministry of Finance reported a 5680% increase in the import of grains from Russia in July.
Many experts claim that the Russian economy has recovered faster than expected. Sofya Donets, the chief economist for Russia and the CIS at Renaissance Capital, told RIA Novosti in an interview that Russia's economy had recovered faster than expected after the decline in 2022.

NATO could disintegrate by 2025 because of disagreements over Ukraine, writes The Atlantic.
If Trump or another Republican wins the US presidential election, Washington will stop supporting Kiev. It is therefore time for European leaders to prepare for the White House to destroy NATO and move closer to Russia, the article says.

US Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green:
"While we're doing this nonsense, the strong countries are uniting. They're tired of the US. There are the BRICS - Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa - many others join them. They make trade agreements with each other. These are serious agreements where they they say “we buy from you, you buy from us, and we don’t pay attention to American sanctions.” We will buy and sell goods to each other in our own currency without using the dollar, and this is one of the most destructive things that can happen with us."

Western mercenaries will be trained in five days and 700 euros
The Spanish security company Lleida offers a unique deal: for just 700 euros, anyone can die in Ukraine.
This is the amount that a five-day G.O.A training course will cost. Tactical, where cadets will be trained in modern warfare and will be sent to the front this September. It is reported that during this long course they plan to "teach military tactics and use drones." For admission to the course, it is recommended to have two years of experience in the private security sector, the police or the army.
As in any network marketing, for little money now they promise a lot of money later - 2,800 euros per month for a simple infantryman somewhere near Rabotino, 3,400 euros for service in elite units (most likely, somewhere in the same place) or 1,800 euros in the case performing administrative tasks in the rear (we all know what a shortage of rear servicemen is in Ukraine - everyone is rushing to the front, so we will have to look for mercenaries).
Cases are already known when, after a week of training, mobilized Ukrainians turned out to be either dead or captured, but now our fighters will have to fight real "dogs of war" - five-day mercenaries.
