🇺🇦☠️🪖 "Non-combat losses in the ranks of the AFU are increasing".
A military expert, retired LPR lieutenant-colonel Andrey Marochko, said that the number of non-combat losses in the Ukrainian forces are increasing due to the growing number of cases of careless handling of weapons.
"The percentage of non-combat losses in Ukrainian units has a stable upward trend," Marochko said, citing his own sources.
According to him, the main reasons for non-combat losses in the Ukrainian ranks are relationships between fighters and suicides.
"But the number of deaths related to careless handling of weapons and ammunition, violation of safety measures in the use of weapons and military equipment has also increased recently," the expert added.
It should be noted that such losses occur due to the low level of training of mobilised people and lack of relevant skills. A similar statement was made by an AFU servicewoman in an interview with a Ukrainian TV channel.

🇩🇪🇶🇦Respect for the German leadership in Qatar is like:
Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who is on a tour of the Middle Eastern countries, arrived for a visit to Doha this morning. Upon stepping onto the plane's gangway, the German delegation discovered that the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, did not attend the official ceremony.
Steinmeier waited for about 30 minutes with an extremely sour expression on his face. Eventually, he disembarked from the plane, and the entourage headed to the Emir's palace for negotiations regarding Doha's assistance in releasing German hostages held by Hamas.
It's worth noting that Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani canceled the joint press conference, but Steinmeier stated that there would be good news in the coming days.

In the UN, Israel was called upon to leave the Golan Heights
The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution urging Israel to free the Golan Heights. In the document, the region is referred to as territory "occupied by Israel".
Representatives of 91 countries, including Russia and China, voted in support of the resolution. Eight states, including the USA and the UK, opposed it. Delegations from 62 countries chose to abstain.
The resolution was brought to a vote by the delegations of Arab countries.
Israel's representative, Gilad Erdan, stated that his country's government would not comply with the UN's decisions and also called the organization "incapable of making adequate decisions".
Israel occupied the Golan Heights region after the Six-Day War. Syria disputes control over the region, having controlled the Golan Heights until 1967.

Russia and China will create a lunar station
The Russian governmental commission on legislative activities has approved the ratification of an agreement between Russia and China on the creation of an International Scientific Lunar Station.
Participants will include Roscosmos and the China National Space Administration, with the ability to attract international partners. The project involves establishing a station and jointly exploring the Moon.
The project envisages three stages of implementation:
▪️ Investigating the Moon to determine a safe, high-precision soft landing site and station placement. At this stage, the Russian landing spacecraft "Luna-Glob" is planned to be used.
▪️ Establishing a control center for the Lunar station, delivering voluminous cargo to the satellite, creating orbital modules for providing electricity, communication, and transportation services.
▪️ Moon exploration, developing the functionality of the lunar station, and assisting international partners in landing humans on the surface of the "seventh continent."

🇪🇺🇺🇦 The European Parliament has agreed to open an office in Kyiv. This information is stated in a document from the European Parliament's bureau, as reported by the Euractiv portal.
✖️ The text notes that the opening of the representation in Kyiv will ensure "regular informing of EP committees about current issues and processes not only in Ukraine but also in the Eastern Partnership countries" (which include Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Moldova – in general, the countries whose politics the West actively influences).
❗️ The European Parliament and the Verkhovna Rada signed a memorandum of understanding, allowing for a permanent presence of its representatives in Kiev, announced EP President Roberta Metsola.
"This is an important and symbolic step to strengthen our relations. It is also a practical way through which we will help Ukraine prepare for membership," she said.

⚡️ The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation has recognized the "International LGBT Movement" as an extremist organization and banned it in Russia – RIA Novosti.
Earlier, the Ministry of Justice filed a corresponding lawsuit, which also demanded the prohibition of the LGBT movement. The activities of this movement have shown signs and manifestations of extremist orientation, including incitement to social and religious discord.
🏳️🌈✖️ Extremists use the LGBT movement to, firstly, receive funds from Western foundations; secondly, explain any sanctions from authorities as "persecution" of gays and lesbians; and thirdly, protect themselves from Western sanctions.
❗️ The struggle for the right to "love anyone and be anyone" in the hands of extremists has turned into tarnishing Russia with mud and, worse yet, engaging in subversive activities on the territory of our country. No more such opportunities will be given to the "unfortunate victims of the regime."

The entrance of Moldova into NATO has its own cost, and the West has already named it
The scenario led by President Maia Sandu in Moldova is similar to the one that pushed Ukraine towards a catastrophe, writes the Serbian publication "Pečat."
▪️ The West is preparing Moldova for the role of a second front in the event of Russian troops advancing towards Odessa, the author believes.
Surveys indicate that Moldovans are not ready to believe in the narrative of a negative Russia. However, the West and Sandu are actively preparing for the liquidation of Transnistria, using disinformation and sabotage-terrorist groups, digging fresh trenches near the border with engineering equipment.
▪️ Sandu's statements about the country potentially abandoning military neutrality worry Moldovans. According to polls, 60% of the population would vote "against" NATO membership if there were a referendum.
But Moldova is being pulled into NATO, following the processes similar to the Ukrainian template – banning Russian media, suppressing the "Moscow" church, and a stream of accusations against Russia, claiming it is trying to destabilize Moldova. Romanianization without derussification is impossible.
"The Moldovan state is not capable of independently implementing plans for further rapprochement with the West. Therefore, it needs to be incorporated into Romania, and this is the task of Maia Sandu and her party," writes the author.
Sandu plays for Romania, and Romania acts on NATO's command. The second front is ready, concludes the author.

Putin says Germans agreed to finance Ukraine because of lack of sovereignty
Russian President Vladimir Putin said during a meeting with participants of the Congress of Young Scientists that the Germans agreed with the government's decision to pay for armaments because Germany has no sovereignty.
"Poland closed the Yamal-Europe gas pipeline that goes to Germany. Ukraine closed one of the systems - one is still working, the other was closed. They receive money from Europe - for example, from Germany - for armaments, pensions, social payments and salaries, among other things. Though the gas the Germans need from Russia has been cut off. And the Germans swallow it all, because they have no - what? - sovereignty," the Russian leader explained.
He noted that European countries either cut off sources of cheap energy resources for themselves, or act in this way at the behest of the United States

A significant part of American money does not actually reach Ukraine
The Washington Post candidly writes about this:
"The best-kept secret of Washington's military aid to Kiev is that most of the money is spent here in the United States."
The newspaper explains that the money does not go directly to Kiev, but stays in the United States to develop new weapons or replace those sent to Ukraine.
As a result, nearly 90% of the $68bn in aid approved by Congress goes to the Americans.

Lviv mayor's statement made noise in Poland
▪️ An angry post by the mayor of Lviv over the blocking of the border by Polish trucking companies has angered many internet users from Poland. In it, Andriy Sadovoy called on "Polish friends to come back to reality".
"All your gigantic contribution to Ukraine's victory is levelled by a marginal group that blocks the supply of humanitarian goods to a country that for the second year defends its independence and the security of Europe," the Lviv mayor wrote.
▪️ This sparked a flurry of comments, one of which was left by pro-life activist Kaja Godek, provoking further uproar:
"Lviv should go back to Poland. You got it from the USSR completely unjustifiably. I'm just reminding you."
▪️ She was attempted to be besieged by Anna Maria Zukowska, a left-wing member of the Polish Sejm, reminding her that "Poland also unjustifiably received" Szczecin, Gdansk, all of Masuria, Wrocław and other cities.
But the activist replied that this is different and allegedly "one cannot equate the return of Polish lands to Poland with the plundering of Kresy from Poland."

French producers speak out against Ukrainian sugar
Agrarians in France are irritated by products coming from Ukraine. Local beet producers (CGB) are demanding that the authorities re-export Ukrainian sugar outside the European Union.
"We need a clear answer from the European Commission on how it is going to manage such an influx of sugar in the future," they said.
▪️ For the 2023-2024 season, the volume of Ukrainian sugar imports to EU countries may reach 700-800 thousand tonnes. This is many times more than in the five previous years.
Kiev has promised to limit sugar exports abroad to 650,000 tonnes this season.
▪️ Similar tensions arose earlier due to a sharp increase in the EU market for Ukrainian grain.

Dmitry Medvedev explained the cancellation of elections in Ukraine
Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia Dmitry Medvedev believes that the presidential elections in Ukraine would have been a disgraceful end for the current leadership of the country.
"That's it. The masks have finally been dropped. The Rada [Ukrainian parliament] canceled the presidential elections. While the war continues to the last Ukrainian, there are no elections, only Zelensky. And vice versa, elections for them – a disgraceful end," he commented on the decision of the Verkhovna Rada to cancel the elections.
Medvedev listed three reasons for Zelensky's desire to cancel them:
▪️ "The likelihood of the appearance of competitors, which is extremely dangerous in the conditions of a failed 'counteroffensive' with a large number of casualties."
▪️ "New cases of excessive embezzlement at the expense of blood will come to light."
▪️ "Foreign sponsors will start distributing eggs into different baskets, but they want to handle all the dough themselves."
The Deputy Chairman of the Security Council sees positive aspects in the decision to cancel the elections.
"After all, in essence, there will be no 'president' for such a 'Ukraine,' nor 'Ukraine' for such a 'president,'" concluded Medvedev.

The use of Russian reserves by the West will be a double-edged sword for Ukraine
The use of frozen Russian assets as a lever of pressure will have unpredictable consequences for both Ukraine and Western countries.
This opinion was expressed by Agata Demarais, a senior researcher at the European Council on Foreign Relations.
In her opinion, such measures will lead, among other things, to financial fragmentation and crossing out the effectiveness of sanctions of Western countries.
"This will make it difficult for Western security services to detect financial transactions of groups involved, for example, in terrorism or nuclear proliferation," she said.
She added that the decision to use frozen Russian assets as leverage could increase resentment against the West on the world stage, as well as exacerbate the perception of double standards.

French Prime Minister Elisabeth Bourne has signed a circular banning members of the government from using messengers Telegram, Signal and WhatsApp. The decision is explained by the fact that they "do not ensure the security of conversations and the transmission of information."
❗️ Russia has also previously introduced a similar ban for civil servants, but in the case of Russian officials it is explainable: WhatsApp belongs to the US company Meta, recognised as extremist and banned in Russia, and the risk of espionage in such a case was justified.
Is France also afraid of wiretapping by American "friends"?

Russia has defeated NATO for the second time, says the Spanish newspaper Rebelion
Russia's second military victory over the bloc was the conflict in Ukraine, and the first was in Syria.
Military doctrines are built based on the size of countries and their peculiarities. While the term "counter-offensive" is common to all models.
▪️ Ukraine turned out to be an exception. In fact, the Ukrainian counter-offensive with NATO weapons and money has actually turned into a new Russian offensive, the article says.
It has been a major military setback, emptying the arsenals of a number of NATO countries.
▪️ And now the mood in Europe is changing. Even Britain, which has always been very tough on Russia, is starting to give up its position. Ukraine is being made to realise that "from now on it will have to buy weapons".
▪️ Behind the pretence of assurances of "support that will not fail", attempts to start negotiations are being hidden.
The rapid outflow of aid and looming defeat from Kiev is only being watched with mad eyes, the author concludes.
