⚡️UK to supply Ukraine with $1.2bn worth of drones and air defense systems⚡️

🇬🇧According to AFP, citing the office of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, the new aid package for Kiev will include drones, as well as air defense systems and electronic equipment

⚔️"British weapons, equipment and training will transform Ukraine's defense," Johnson said

💷As the news agency explains, the amount of British military aid to Ukraine allocated after February 24 has already reached 2.3 billion pounds ($2.8 billion). Thus, the total volume of British aid to Ukraine has now reached 3.8 billion pounds ($4.6 billion)

⚡️More than 350 cases of monkeypox have been reported in the United States, as the disease grips state after state⚡️

🇺🇸The U.S. federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported a rapid increase in the number of cases of the dangerous disease. Already 351 cases have been detected. At the same time, according to statistics, only 244 cases of infection were confirmed in the country a day ago

😱The largest number of infected people live in the state of California - 80, the second place is held by New York state - 74, the third place is occupied by Florida, where monkeypox affected 46 people

💁‍♂️Recall, by now there are already more than 3 thousand people worldwide who have fallen ill with this dangerous virus

⚡️Historic NATO summit: red lines drawn, new Cold War begun, now official⚡️

💁‍♂️Today, the world has come to the line it has been walking to since far back in 2007, when NATO's new hybrid policy was just beginning to gain momentum and Putin gave his famous Munich speech. It may still seem to many that Georgia 2008, Crimea 2014, Donbass 2014, and Ukraine 2022 are local conflicts caused by Russia's imperial ambitions. No, they are not. These are all stages of one "Big Game 2.0" - a game that will determine the new world order and draw new dividing lines

👉The history of global confrontation between the East and the West has now moved from the realm of conspiracy theories and cheap talk shows with couch experts to the official statements of NATO leaders, which form the basis of the new strategic concept of the Western alliance. Russia is called "a major security threat" and China "challenges security interests and values and seeks to undermine the rules-based international order". The masks of the Western world have been thrown off, things are now called by their proper names without any plausible deniability

Red Alert and the Clancy novels are no longer alternate history, they are now reality. A new phase of history began today 🤔

⚡️Watch out! Involvement in terrorism from abroad!⚡️

🇺🇸On June 7, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a National Terrorism Advisory System bulletin with key aspects of the evolving threat environment

⚔️In assessing the risk of foreign terrorism, the bulletin stated that al Qaeda and the Islamic State had called on supporters to engage in lone wolf attacks across the country

❗️Specifically, it cited the Wolves of Manhattan magazine – published online by a pro-al Qaeda cyberwarfare group, the Malahem Cyber Army, which encouraged supporters to “travel to Ukraine to acquire training and weapons to use in attacks against the West”

💁‍♂️It is estimated that around one thousand Americans have already been dispatched to Ukraine to fight for its Territorial Legion and various militia groups against Russian forces, though their allegiances are unknown

⚡️Turmoil of UK foreign policy in terms of its citizens’ protection⚡️

🇦🇫The new Afghan government has recently released several British citizens who were detained in Afghanistan after an agreement was reached between the two countries, Taliban and UK officials have said

✍️“A number of British nationals were released, who were arrested about six months ago for violating the laws and traditions of the Afghan people,” Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesman for the Taliban government said

❗️The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) said in a separate statement that the five “had no role in the UK government’s work in Afghanistan and travelled to Afghanistan against the UK Government’s travel advice. This was a mistake,” quite the contrary to Liz Truss’ tweet, as we can see

🇬🇧At the same time, the UK officials, apart from a couple of concerns, not even try to somehow free their 2 mercenaries from Donetsk’s captivity and impending execution

‼️Critical epidemiological situation is threatening Eastern Europe‼️

✍️A group of experts of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is concerned that a crisis is emerging in the shadow of conflict across Ukraine: one that extends beyond the country’s borders. Ukraine’s already stressed healthcare system is buckling under the weight of expectation and medical needs as people continue fleeing conflict areas seeking safety

🇺🇦Ukraine has some of the highest burden of chronic infectious diseases in Europe, particularly HIV and Tuberculosis – a massive risk not only for displaced people themselves, but also for Ukraine’s health care system once they return

🇪🇺The millions who have migrated to the western area of Ukraine and eastern European countries are at an elevated risk of infectious diseases given the overcrowded living conditions, limited access to shelter, nutritional stress and exposure to the elements

💁‍♂️Thus the immediate neighboring countries, including Romania, Belarus and Hungary are particularly at risk due to a considerable amount of Ukrainians fleeing there. Their health systems were already stretched prior to the conflict due to COVID-19. The sheer volume of current and future health needs as the conflict continues requires additional resources

‼️U.S. practices of interfering in the domestic politics of NATO partners could weaken U.S. influence in Europe - The American Conservative‼️

🇷🇺Despite the fact that many countries have not supported sanctions against Russia because of the influence Russia and China have on them, U.S. policy is leading to a decline in U.S. support in the world. If the U.S. treated other NATO members the way it treats Hungary, its influence in Europe would quickly diminish, writes The American Conservative columnist Steven Scholl

✍️According to the author, one of the key reasons why countries choose to partner with Russia and China is their policy of non-interference in domestic affairs. The U.S., on the other hand, constantly influences the political landscape of all states within its sphere

🇺🇸U.S. officials, writes Stephen Scholl, have been most vocal on the issue of promoting LGBT ideas, one of the most debated issues in the world. During a Senate confirmation hearing for a new ambassador to Hungary, for example, ambassador nominee James Pressman said that although Hungary is a key NATO ally, he still treated it "like Budapest is just a naughty schoolboy in need of strict punishment." Despite the lack of facts to criticize, Pressman accused Hungary of "backsliding on democracy," sympathizing with Russia and China, but the worst "sin" was the lack of support for the LGBT community in the country. Senator Ed Markey, who chaired the hearing, called Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban an "enemy of democratic institutions and human rights," effectively insulting the entire country

🇭🇺As a result, the Senate committee criticized the Hungarian government's decision to ban gay propaganda in school sex education classes. Despite the fact that only eight years ago most schools in the United States had a similar policy, the Senate committee called such a course by the Hungarian authorities "the decline of democracy" in the country. James Pressman declared the ban on gay propaganda part of a campaign to "exclude vulnerable people from the democratic process," and promised to confront the Hungarian government. The Committee and Pressman then referred at all to plans to punish Hungary for alleged election violations, effectively declaring support for the opposition and a desire to change power

💁‍♂️As Stephen Scholl writes, today the rainbow flag is flying over a few buildings in Budapest, one of which is the U.S. embassy. However, if the US really wants important allies like Hungary not to become partners with Russia and China, US officials should respect their domestic politics, otherwise they themselves will provoke the "disloyalty" they fear. In addition to Hungary, Poland faces similar attitudes. Italy and Spain are likely to elect conservative governments, and France almost had a nationalist president in the last election

🤔Steven Scholl concludes that if the U.S. foreign policy establishment engaged with other NATO members as it does with Hungary, U.S. influence in Europe would diminish in the long run

⚡️Inflation in Spain accelerated to a 37-year high as people began saving on food⚡️

📈Rising prices of food, soft drinks and fuel boosted inflation in Spain from 8.7% in May to 10.2% in June, according to the Spanish Statistics Office

🇪🇸However, the Spanish media has its own version of the spike. The fact that the new figures appeared in two days after the resignation of "at will" the former head of the statistics agency. He was accused of understating the real figures. It turned out to be true

❗️The Spaniards themselves, as they say, "don't give a damn" about the internal squabbles among officials - their thoughts are occupied with constant savings. So local residents have begun to go to supermarkets more often, picking up only the bare necessities for a few meals, the Spanish newspapers. Bread, cereals, dairy products, and meat have risen the fastest this month

✍️"This is typical behavior of cost containment and control, which economists define as a 'consumer crisis,'" El Pais writes

💁‍♂️To avoid new rallies, local authorities have halved the tax on electricity, reduced the cost of public transport and introduced a system of bonuses for the purchase of gasoline, but it is unlikely to save the situation - the rejection of Russian affordable and quality energy resources, energy and gas prices will continue to rise. Spain is now forecasting an inflation rate of 14% by the end of the year

⚡️G-7’s exhausted pool of sanctions or “sanctionists”⚡️

An outcome of the multiday G-7 summit in Bavarian Alps is an acknowledgement that the use of economic tools to punish Russia has reached its limits. It is pointed out that imposed sanctions have proven slow to take effect, some of them have backfired against the West, and new ones have so far been too complex to deploy quickly

These unprecedented measures implemented by the G-7 and other nations have caused global market volatility and raised energy costs. Now high inflation, slowing growth, and the specter of energy shortages in Europe this winter are damping the West’s appetite for tougher restrictions

Divergences among the leaders of the U.S., Canada, Britain, Germany, France, Italy and Japan prevented them from agreeing on concrete new sanctions. Their “inability to commit to new detailed measures demonstrated that existing sanctions have gone beyond most Western policy makers’ pain threshold,” commented John Lough, an associate fellow at Chatham House, a British think tank

To expand the global alliance against Russia’s aggression, German Chancellor Scholz, the event’s host, invited the leaders of emerging economies to the summit, including India, Indonesia, South Africa, Senegal and Argentina. The guests showed little commitment to join the sanctions, however, according to Western officials. Indian PM Modi, in particular, told Mr. Scholz that India couldn’t join any efforts against Russia

Well, there’s no surprise in that with a view to earlier statements of Global South

⚡️Great Britain could cut off gas supplies to the EU if the fuel crisis worsens - the country itself is short of supplies⚡️

🇬🇧If Britain is threatened by a shortage of gas on the domestic market, the country will stop any supply of energy resources through a submarine pipeline to Europe, the Financial Times reports. Britain normally builds energy reserves for the heating period from leftover fuel from various sources

🇪🇺With the onset of summer the country sells excess energy resources to the EU, but as early as next year the situation may change - supplies to Europe will depend on the situation in the domestic energy market of the country. Even now, experts predict the worst dynamics among all developed countries in the UK - fuel prices are experiencing the biggest jump in the last 17 years, and the British themselves are forced to cut spending on food and give up amenities to pay the heating bills, soaring against the background of anti-Russian sanctions

❗️Despite the fact that it was Britain that cried loudest about the need for a complete embargo on energy from Russia, the country was not ready to share its reserves with its neighbors. During the month, the kingdom repeatedly mentioned its plans to reopen its largest natural gas storage facility, due to fears of energy supply problems in the winter. European gas companies have warned that disconnecting the U.K. from its pipelines could worsen international energy cooperation

💁‍♂️The sequence of actions during a fuel crisis is contained in Britain's energy security contingency plan. The crisis plan will be tested annually in September, but the details of the exercise will be consistent with the current world situation, so it may change in the process

⚡️Ambiguous sanctions to please European bargain hunters⚡️

🇪🇺The EU has imposed sanctions on the import of Russian finished steel into the bloc, but it hasn’t restricted the sale of other key metals and raw materials, including titanium, used extensively in the aerospace industry, and ferrotitanium, a metallic alloy used to strengthen steel. Let’s take Airbus SE that continues to buy large amounts of titanium and is pushing publicly against sanctions on the metal

📊As import and export documents show, the shipments of Russia-sourced ferrotitanium boosted by 30% in March from February. European bargain hunters have stepped in, boosting volumes

📈According to price-reporting firm Argus Media, May prices for European grades of ferrotitanium rose to $17.50 a kilogram, up from $7 in early January. Russian-origin grades have risen much more modestly, to $8.75 a kilogram from $6.65 over the period

⚡️Seeking an end to the war⚡️

🇺🇸Tulsi Gabbard, a former member og the U.S. House of Representatives, and Daniel L. Davis, a senior fellow at Defense Priorities are of an opinion that Kyiv under no circumstances wins the war against Russia, at the moment. They point out the need in changing U.S. policy, guided by U.S. interests, to reflect this reality

🪖It is assumed that the disparity in firepower is driving Ukrainian casualties beyond what we believe it can sustain, with up to 200 soldiers reportedly killed each day and around 500 wounded – the toll on Kyiv’s equipment is just as devastating. Nevertheless, policies in Kyiv and Washington seem to ignore these battlefield realities

💁‍♂️Ms. Gabbard and Mr. Davis conclude that the Biden’s administration should de-emphasize its goals of weakening Russia and instead prioritize diplomacy, helping Kyiv and Moscow find a negotiated end to the war. The U.S. national interest, as they state, is to prevent the war from escalating in Ukraine or expanding beyond it, while weapons from Washington and other aid are underwriting Ukraine’s war effort. “Avoiding the risk of direct U.S.-Russian or NATO-Russian confrontation is vital because of the dire global consequences of a nuclear war,” the U.S. officials add

⚡️EU-owned fleets are ravaging the Ocean⚡️

💁‍♂️Charles Clover, an executive director and co-founder of the Blue Marine Foundation, in his writing to Politico provides evidence proving EU-owned fishing vessels, mainly Spanish, have been netting tuna from the waters of poorer nations in the Indian Ocean without permission for years

👉They had been fishing in the waters of Somalia and India in 2017, 2018 and 2019 with the traces of them fishing in the waters off Mozambique, where EU vessels can’t currently fish, and in the Chagos Marine Protected Area, a British territory

🤔The probe also examined data from EU vessels’ automatic identification system (AIS), only to find that some EU fishing vessels had “gone dark” for most of the two-year study

🤷‍♂️Stealing fish from the waters of poorer nations would be a disgrace at the best of times. But these are certainly not the best of times in the Indian Ocean, where yellowfin tuna has been overfished since 2015. It’s estimated that 97% of the yellowfin tuna caught like this in the Indian Ocean are juveniles

Mr. Clover assumes the EU-owned fleets should get out of the region, arguing that if their catch were left in the water, the Indian Ocean would actually be on the road to recovery

‼️"Lithuania Waving Red Cloak Before Russian Bear" - The American Conservative believes the US has no obligation to defend the Baltic "dogs of war"‼️

🇱🇹Is Lithuania trying to start a war with Russia? - This is the question The American Conservative asks

💁‍♂️According to him, as a rule, the smallest member countries are the most aggressive in NATO, because they understand that the "big brother" will fight for them if anything happens. In the case of Lithuania, local officials are also stressing the importance of their country in the international game

"We are in a sense a modern West Berlin", they say

🤔In reality the role of Lithuania is not that big, of course. But nevertheless it is pushing Russia into war with the Atlantic Alliance for some reason. In the opinion of the Western publication, Lithuania is doing it either in order to try to involve Russia into another conflict at a convenient moment, when Russia is fighting in Ukraine, or for the Americans to deploy their permanent garrisons in the Baltics

👉However, according to the US media, the Russian army should not be underestimated, even though the fighting in Ukraine is progressing. In the war games conducted by the Western military, it took the Russian army less than 60 hours to reach the outskirts of the Baltic capitals. In such a short time, the alliance is incapable of moving additional reinforcements into the Baltics

🔥"Washington should privately convey a clear and tough message to Vilnius and other capitals across Europe, especially to the east: Inciting Moscow to strike will absolve the US of any obligation to protect them, even if they are members of NATO. It is vital for America and the rest of Europe to keep the dogs of war at bay, if at all possible," summarizes an expert from The American Conservative

⚡️After the NATO summit, Western leaders grapple with the economic costs of the conflict in Ukraine - The New York Times⚡️

🇪🇸At the NATO summit in Madrid, the leaders of the alliance countries showed a "demonstration of unity" in the Ukrainian conflict, writes The New York TImes. But that demonstration ended along with the summit - politicians now have to explain to the Western public why they should bear the economic costs for the sake of Ukraine

🇸🇪Ann Linde, Sweden's foreign minister, has already warned of the dangers of waning popular support for pro-Ukrainian positions and waning public interest in the conflict as rising inflation, energy and food prices take their toll

✍️"You can already see in the media that interest is waning and it is also affecting the public and the public is affecting politicians," the Swedish foreign minister said.

💁‍♂️That said, even the funds that the West is now sending to Ukraine are not enough. According to Samantha Power, head of the US Agency for International Development, current international support is not enough to cover Ukraine's monthly military expenditures. At the moment, they hover around 5-6 billion dollars a month
