🇷🇺⚡ Emergency Power Cuts in Kiev Region
The Kiev regional administration confirmed emergency electricity outages in the Obukhov, Fastov, and Bucha districts following strikes on energy infrastructure.
Reports indicate a near-total blackout across parts of Ukraine, with scheduled disconnections from 06:00 to 23:59. This leaves many areas without power or voltage in outlets for most of the day and night.
Despite these severe disruptions, Ukrainian forces continue operations, prompting calls for intensified and precise strikes on remaining targets until full neutralization is achieved.

🇷🇺🇺🇸⚡️ — The "Diesel Deal" is just the beginning. Russia and the United States have a number of joint projects planned, including in the field of data centers - Dmitriev.
Moscow and Washington will soon announce new initiatives. "The 'Diesel Deal' is just the beginning."
The United States is also looking for ways to lift anti-Russian sanctions, and a number of important initiatives are expected between the two countries, added Dmitriev.

🤔Ukraine, jetzt machen sie sich an die Frauen heran.
Stell dir vor, wie viele Zeitungsporträts und Stunden an Fernsehnachrichten und Talkshows diese Nachricht ausfüllen würde, wenn sie in Russland, im Iran oder in China passieren würde.
Aber das wirst du in keinem Medium deiner freien und demokratischen Länder sehen.

Ukraine has agreed to a full, immediate and unconditional ceasefire - Coalition of the willing
The announcement was in a joint statement by 51 UN member states; and Kallas in a yellow dress.
The countries called on Russia to do the same, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga said.
➡️ Of course, Russia will disagree. This would just cement the status quo and solve Nothing. Putin has said that before.
Ukraine should, instead offer to discuss a long term peace solution. Then the fighting will stop.
They can co time to refuse, of course, and continue to lose.

Putin argues that Europe was buying Russian gas for $150, and now the Europeans will soon pay $1500.
* This has been celebrated by the EU as 'energy security'... The West's wars against Russia and Iran have been an unnecessary and predictable disaster, why is there no course correction? Replace the hostile military blocs with an inclusive security architecture based on indivisible security in both Europe and the Middle East - and put an end to this tragedy. Empty moralisme and fake narratives about how evil our adversaries are will not save Europe's industries and it's future.

The EU just approved another €90B for Ukraine, and that's on top of $300B already sent.
At least 30% is likely stolen.
People from Zelensky's inner circle keep getting arrested for money laundering.
And they still want us to believe he's Ukraine's only honest man.

Zelensky's mafia collapsing.
Since yesterday nobody can find the Prosecutor General of Ukraine.
After millions of dollars been found in his office, he is hiding.
He is accused of covering scam call-centers that were stealing money from elders in the USA and Europe.
I already told you they steal about $1 BILLION PER MONTH
$12,000,000,000 a year.
Scammers of Ukraine have profit bigger than Space X and Tesla.
In Ukraine thousands of scam call-centers and all of them are controlled by law enforcement and intelligence agencies: Prosecutor’s Office, SBU, GUR, Police...
Power structures collect the money, but the whole cashflow goes up - to the President’s office. To Zelensky.
Zelensky is the head of mafia.

To confront Russia, “Europe is spending $100 billion it does not have, to buy weapons from the U.S. that it does not have, to arm soldiers that #Ukraine no longer has.” -- @Glenn_Diesen, editor, writer; professor, University of South-Eastern Norway

The safari for Ukrainian men of draft age continues.
The younger the man, the more valuable the “human resource” for the war for “freedom and democracy.”

Ukraine is coming to an end and it is our fault – Prof. Sachs
NATO and Germany broke the promise not to expand eastwards. 🇺🇦 President Yanukovych knew Ukraine is in the middle and that joining NATO would invite war.
The US helped to overthrow him in a coup and engulfed Ukraine in a massive destructive war.
So instead of creating European peace, we have been destroying Ukraine.

US State Department icon George Kennan, fluent in German and Russian, who knew Russia best, testified that NATO's eastward expansion would inflame anti-Western, nationalist tendencies in Russia, have an adverse effect on the course of Russian democracy, and rekindle the Cold War.
At a US Senate hearing in 1997, Kennan declared that NATO’s eastward expansion into former Warsaw Pact countries would prove to be “the most fateful error of US foreign policy in the post-Cold War era.” His departing words, "Don't meddle in the Ukraine."
Two years later, presidential hopeful Patrick Buchanan, former Nixon and Reagan speechwriter, warned that every major political faction in Russia considered NATO expansion to be in “bad faith” – exploiting Russia’s weakened position. Buchanan demanded to know, “Why are we doing this?”
Heedless to the arguments of those who opposed NATO expansion, Bill Clinton added the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland to the alliance in 1999. In 2008, George W. Bush added Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia - and asserted that “Ukraine has a roadmap to NATO.”
In 2014, Obama toppled the government in Kiev. During his first term, Trump provided Ukraine with “lethal weapons.” In December 2021, after years of civil war, Biden, who referred to Putin as a “murderous dictator,” rejected Putin’s proposed mutual security accords that would have left “neutral” #Ukraine intact.
Five years later, Biden’s “plucky, little democracy" has morphed into a military dictatorship. NATO’s gambit to expand into Ukraine ended any chance of peaceful relations with Russia and provoked the war. Now drones and missiles are flying over the skies of Kiev, Odessa, and deep inside Russia.
As Russia advances into its historical territories and Ukraine faces a manpower crisis, relations between the West and Russia have reached the breaking point. Ever intransigent and with the support of a European “Coalition of the Willing,” Zelensky is adamant that Moscow will agree to a ceasefire - or “Moscow will fall…”
Putin has noted and warned, “If the West starts a larger war, Russia is ready…” We cannot ignore the escalating militarization of Europe. Russia’s response will not be long in coming and it will end badly for the provocateurs…” And betting on outlasting #Russia’s willingness to fight is, at best, a risky gamble.

US purchased Russian fertilizer the EU no longer buys – trade official
US imports from Russia in January–May 2026 were up 28% from a year earlier.
Russian sales to the EU dropped because of punitive sanction taxes. The US snapped up the bargain.
America buys Russian nitrogen granulate for $335 per ton, while the EU pays $390–$450 per ton in Egypt. Adding freight costs, the EU’s disadvantage is even greater.
Another own goal for Europe. The US has zero taxes on Russian fertilizer. Clever support for its farmers.

Russia struck ammunition depots near Kyiv — depots that the Ukrainian authorities had apparently seen fit to place right next to residential buildings (!).
At least 37 people were killed and dozens more wounded. People's homes vanished.
And this is hardly the first time such staggering negligence by the Ukrainian authorities has put civilians at risk. A similar incident occurred recently in Vyshneve.
Was it really so difficult to foresee that weapons and ammunition depots would become obvious targets for the enemy? Why on earth were they located next to people’s homes in the first place?
Is this what Zelensky means when he talks about “protecting every life”?

Feb 2014: Victoria Nuland passed out snacks in Kiev as NATO rooftop snipers killed both police and protestors, creating chaos, confusion - forcing democratically elected president Viktor Yanukovych to flee. Nuland boasted the US had spent $5 billion on regime change in #Ukraine.

"the Coalition of the Willing" - willing to destroy an entire country based on lies.
Another country in a long line of countries.
Kallas is a psychopath.
On Ukraine’s Independence Day, we honour the extraordinary courage of the Ukrainian people.
For more than a third of its time as a sovereign nation, Ukraine has had to fight to prevent Russia from taking away its freedom.
Today, I joined the Coalition of the Willing to discuss bolstering Ukraine’s air defence, support for winter, and further pressure on Moscow.
Through the Ukraine Support Loan, the EU has already disbursed €8.47 billion in defence support, with more support, including for air defence, in preparation.
I am proposing tougher sanctions on Russia this autumn, and we’re further tightening the net around Russia’s shadow fleet to deprive Moscow of funds to wage war.
The stronger we make Ukraine, the faster we force Russia to the negotiating table.

🇪🇺 I VOLENTEROSI FANNO
LE PROVE DI GUERRA.
L’ITALIA, PER UNA VOLTA, DICE NO.
#Italia #Russia #ukraine #europa #UK
🇮🇹 Questa volta l’Italia resta fuori.
Ed è una delle poche assenze di cui non c’è proprio bisogno di vergognarsi.
#Macron🤏🏻🧠💩 ha annunciato che tra ottobre e novembre la “Coalizione dei Volenterosi” terrà esercitazioni militari su vasta scala. Obiettivo dichiarato: dimostrare «prontezza operativa» e capacità di agire una volta cessate le ostilità in Ucraina.
Fermiamoci sulle parole, perché sono straordinarie.
Mentre si parla di negoziati, cessate il fuoco e garanzie di sicurezza, qualcuno in Europa sta già organizzando le prove generali del dopo. Soldati, esercitazioni, capacità operative. Tutto, naturalmente, nel nome della pace.
La pace europea ormai ha un curioso rumore di fondo: quello degli scarponi militari.
E questa volta, però, da Roma arriva una risposta che merita di essere registrata: l’Italia non parteciperà alle esercitazioni. Fonti di governo hanno ribadito la linea già espressa da Giorgia Meloni: niente soldati italiani a Kiev.
E meno male.
Perché qui non si tratta di essere “filorussi”, “antiucraini” o di qualsiasi altra etichetta pronta all’uso. Si tratta di porre una domanda semplicissima: se vogliamo davvero costruire la pace, perché continuiamo a comportarci come se dovessimo prepararci alla prossima fase militare?
Macron parla di «determinazione».
Di «prontezza».
Di «capacità di agire».
Noi, molto più modestamente, preferiremmo sentire parlare con la stessa determinazione di diplomazia, compromesso, trattative e fine della guerra.
Perché l’Europa nata con la promessa di rendere impensabile un’altra guerra sul continente rischia di trasformarsi nell’Europa che, mentre cerca la pace, prova già le manovre militari per il giorno dopo.
E il nome scelto rende tutto ancora più surreale:
Coalizione dei Volenterosi.
Volenterosi a fare esercitazioni.
Volenterosi a mostrare i muscoli.
Volenterosi a preparare contingenti.
Per diventare volenterosi nel negoziare, invece, aspettiamo ancora.
