🇭🇺🇪🇺 The European Union's energy sanctions against Russia should be lifted by the end of the year, as they cause more harm to European countries themselves. This is the view expressed by the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, quoted by Magyar Nemzet newspaper.

Kiev has offered US defence companies to test new US weapons on Ukrainian territory. The Ukrainian MoD has officially offered the country as a testing ground.

[...] "If you have any ideas or some pilot projects that need to be tested before mass production, you can send them to us and we will explain what you need to do," Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Volodymyr Havrylov said.

Havrylov is confident that once the weapons are used in Ukraine, they will be very easy to sell, as they return as a competitive, "battlefield-tested" product.

Chris Murphy’s warning: A GOP House would defund the Ukraine struggle

In an interview to Washington Post, the Connecticut Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy warned that increased GOP control over Congress might halt military aid to Ukraine.

“If Republicans win control of the House or the Senate, I think there’s a likelihood that they will hold up any additional aid," Murphy told us.

As of now, Senate Republicans appear supportive of the Biden administration’s most recent request, for $12 billion to be added to a continuing resolution funding the government through September. But if Republicans were to win the House (let alone the Senate), that could change everything.

“I think there’s a real risk that the continuing resolution will be the last time we supply funding to Ukraine,” Murphy said, noting that this is more of a threat in the House, because its members are more beholden to Trump.

Stolen elections and corruption have consequences. Infowars tells it like it is.

💢 Looks like Putin at the SCO conference built support for the escalation/partial mobilization.

On yesterday's livestream we got into how the Atlantic Council (NATO-CIA) had made all these media talking points for the New York Times, AP and Reuters, that Modi and XJP had criticised Putin for the course of the war.

Perhaps there is some grain of truth in there, but such a grain will never become a pearl inside the putrid crevice which is the CIA.

That bit of truth is this: no doubt Modi would like the SMO to end sooner than later. Lukashenko however, has also said the same.

So what's the code here?

Well, what happened right with the SCO conference? Putin authorises the mobilization.

Perhaps in order to finish this sooner than later, there needs to be a mobilization.

❗ The G7 countries issued a joint statement saying they would never recognise the results of the referendums.

Washington has never recognised Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania as part of the Soviet Union. The Americans have a similar position on Russia's Crimea and will do the same on Donbass. However, the USSR has never cared about Western opinion on this issue, nor will Russia care about it now.
