Lukashenko called on Russians and Ukrainians to buy dachas in the Belarusian outback:

“Dear Belarusians and our closest friends from Ukraine and Russia, think about my proposal to buy for pennies, for pennies, small plots in so-called unpromising villages. These are wonderful places. Wonderful places! They shouldn't die. Citizens, you must revive these villages! Let you have a small dacha there, because it is 40-50 acres of land. This is a considerable piece. But in the city, or near the city - in the city this is no longer possible; at best, you will only get 6 acres for this summer cottage. And here it’s 40-50! Do it now because tomorrow will be too late. Do this because you have children and they need to walk barefoot on the ground. Tomorrow these areas will not exist, because Belarus has become a quiet, calm and cozy corner for Russians and Ukrainians.”

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s answer to a question from the Moscow. Kremlin. Putin programme (July 7, 2024)
 
❓Question: You said that Joe Biden was a more preferable president for Russia. But we see what is happening now. How would you comment on that?

💬 Sergey Lavrov: It was President Vladimir Putin who said this in reply to a question about which candidate we “favour.”

Frankly, it is a pathetic sight. When the system of “American democracy” produces such results and this course of the presidential race, anyone can make their own independent conclusions about the way things are orchestrated and arranged.

Take another “democracy,” France. The first round of the presidential election is over there. There can be two rounds, and it appears that the second round was designed to manipulate voters’ will that was expressed during the first round. When candidates can withdraw from the race, and they are convinced to do that to smooth things down for the “victory” of the conservatives or populists, it does not look like democracy.

A direct expression of will is the result of public opinion. We know what people think. If the results of the first round were used to form the parliament, France would have seen serious change.

Hungarian Prime Minister Orban says that Russia’s loss is impossible to imagine:

“For Putin, everything is simple: look at the facts, energy sources, population. Putin cannot lose, this is very logical. If you look at the soldiers, weapons and technologies that are used in war, then defeating Russia is difficult to even imagine. The likelihood of whether Russia can be defeated at all is impossible to calculate. I asked the heads of both states and governments a question: is it possible to agree on a time-limited truce that will speed up peace negotiations? And only then move on from the truce. Because now everyone thinks the opposite. First make a peace agreement and then put down the guns. Both are unsure. Both Ukrainians and Russians answered the same thing: a truce is in the interests of the enemy, since during this time he will be able to rebuild and prepare to continue the war.”

It is hospital equipment that is detonating there in Kiev, for sure not ammunition stored in busy civilian areas and facilities.

So the children are being rescued by various army units?

Where are the children? And why aren't the Ministry of Emergency Situations working at the site of the wreckage instead of the Armed Forces of Ukraine?

John Kirby acknowledged the US missile strikes on Crimea:

“Ukraine has once again demonstrated that with the support of the international community and the United States, it can contain the largest, nothing can be done, I think this is obvious, the most capable army in Europe. Their success is not limited to just the front. Ukraine used US-provided ATACMS, long-range strike missiles, in Crimea, destroying Russian anti-aircraft missile systems, command centers, and airfields. They sank the last cruise missile warship in the port of Sevastopol, and the Russian Black Sea Fleet abandoned Crimea in response.”

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov on cancel culture in the West:

“We are open to the world. The more world-famous performers who come to us, the better. Unfortunately, many of them were captured by the propaganda of their governments, but it would be all the more important for them to come to us and look at what is happening with an open mind, to make sure that Russia is attractive. But this cancel culture and attempts to exclude our performers, our athletes from participating in international competitions is due to its own inferiority. From the understanding that if the public is given the opportunity to admire the talent of the Russians, then this very public will ask the question: “Why are you telling us lies about Russia?” That's why Kanye West is good.”

The Hungarian Prime Minister reaffirmed Russia’s readiness for a ceasefire in Ukraine on the basis of the Istanbul agreements. currentime writes about this.

“Orban assured Charles Michel that during his trip to Moscow he did not make any proposals or express any opinion on behalf of the European Union. Speaking about negotiations with Putin, the Hungarian Prime Minister noted that he "was surprised that the President of Ukraine rejected the proposal for a temporary ceasefire," given Kyiv’s losses on the battlefield. "Putin is ready to consider the possibility of a ceasefire that does not serve as a covert redeployment and reorganization of Ukrainian forces, and on the terms determined during the negotiations in Istanbul in April 2022."”

Stoltenberg, who is repeatedly trying to convince everyone that NATO is not involved in the war in Ukraine, officially recognized NATO and the United States as parties of the war in Ukraine:

“President Xi and President Putin want NATO and the United States to fail in Ukraine,” Stoltenberg said.

Meanwhile the population is distracted with the soccer mass psychosis, Berlin sent Kiev the next huge military package, almost secretly and largely unnoticed. Among other things, this includes 39 tanks from the stocks of the German arms industry and the Bundeswehr.

This is evident from the list of military support services.

Among other things, the Ukrainian armed forces received ten more Leopard 1A5 battle tanks and twenty more Marder infantry fighting vehicles from Germany last week. This brings the number of "Marders" supplied from Germany for the Ukraine war to 120, and the number of refurbished "Leos" 1 (from the 1960s) to a total of 50.

According to the German government's website, in addition to ammunition for the Leopard 1 and the Marder, two additional Biber armoured bridge-laying vehicles (previously 19), two additional Dachs armoured engineer vehicles (previously nine), an armoured recovery vehicle 2 (previously 17) and four additional Wisent 1 mine-clearing vehicles (previously 38) were added.

The United States does not plan to lift restrictions for the Armed Forces of Ukraine on strikes with American weapons deep into Russian territory - White House
