🇷🇺🎖🇰🇵 Belousov awarded medals to North Korean soldiers who distinguished themselves in the liberation of the Kursk region
- The North Korean soldiers were presented with Orders of Courage.
- The Russian Defense Minister emphasized that today we are honoring the true heroes of our time, who are the elite of the Korean armed forces, their pride and strong support.
- He noted that the presentation of state awards is not just a recognition of the professionalism of military personnel.
- "Behind every medal lies the hardest military work, sleepless nights, enormous mental and physical strain. The readiness to sacrifice oneself for the sake of fulfilling the task and saving the lives of comrades-in-arms. You acted in the most difficult conditions, demonstrating not only excellent training, but also a steely character. Your courage and determination greatly contributed to the achievement of our common success", emphasized Belousov.

The graph of Germany's GDP decline. Deutsche Bank expects a 0.2% drop in GDP in the second quarter and has halved its growth forecast for the entire year to 0.5%. The consensus forecast still suggests a slight increase of 0.15%, but the Germans manage to show results worse than forecasts year after year.
Germany's new industrial revolution suggests that its exports will not be cars, but military equipment.
At least people used to pay for German cars, but now Germany wants to sell military equipment to Ukraine on credit under the condition of reparations from Russia. If this does not happen, this money will lead to inflation.
Reparations are hard to imagine even hypothetically. For this, Ukraine would need to capture Moscow, but on the way it would face dozens of nuclear strikes and be left without a rear. But now Ukrainian politicians have abandoned their dreams of conquest.

From the Russian side, footage of the destruction of French Caesar self-propelled howitzers by the Ukrainian Armed Forces continues to emerge. It's unclear how much of the footage is recent, but it's clear that the Ukrainian side, lacking the ability to maneuver artillery, resorts to using rare self-propelled howitzers even in the face of the threat of their loss.

🇮🇷🇮🇷⚔️🇺🇸🏴☠️ Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps: “We have prepared prisoner-of-war camps for enemy soldiers.”
“The enemies should also look at their burned and destroyed bases in the region, which, under the decisive and devastating blows of Iran’s Armed Forces, can no longer be revived or rebuilt. The only path and option available to them is to gather their human and logistical remnants and leave the region quickly and unconditionally.”
“Controlling the Strait of Hormuz and maintaining its deterrent effect on America and its White House allies in the region is the decisive strategy of Islamic Iran in continuing the 3rd imposed war against the global hegemonic camp. This strategy also includes facilitating the passage of commercial ships and vessels for all countries, with the exception of hostile American, Zionist, and their affiliated vessels.”

🇪🇺🇺🇦German Chancellor Merz - again refused Kiev entry into the EU:
I also want to welcome the fact that yesterday we managed to adopt the twentieth package of sanctions. The message to Russia is clear: we will not back down; on the contrary, we will continue to increase the pressure. We also discussed Ukraine's accession to the EU. It's clear to everyone that Ukraine's immediate accession to the European Union is, of course, impossible.

‘During the FM's visit to Islamabad, Pakistan will act as a mediator to convey Iran's stance on ending the imposed war.
No direct talks with the U.S. are scheduled.
This trip is essentially a reciprocal response to Field Marshal Assim Munir's visit to Tehran.’

In Cyprus, they decided that "Ukraine's immediate accession to the EU is, of course, impossible," Merz said.
The Chancellor emphasized that this is clear to everyone.
"However, I proposed launching a process within the European Union to develop a strategy for Ukraine's gradual rapprochement with the EU, which should, of course, end with full membership. But for this, we need interim steps. I have also discussed this repeatedly with Zelenskyy in recent days.
I would like to ensure Ukraine's closer participation in European institutions—for example, through participation in European Council meetings, in the European Parliament, or in the European Commission without voting rights. I would also like to ensure Ukraine's gradual integration into individual political areas, depending on the progress of reforms.
I have received significant support for my proposals from my colleagues in the European Council."
Turkey and Ukraine.... those eventual members 😂
@Slavyangrad
'It's very hard to imagine now that Ukraine will be able to completely oust Russia from its territory. It seems that they have to exhaust Russia, contain it, and then, perhaps, come to some kind of 'frozen' front line. And when you visit Ukraine, of course, I can't speak for all Ukrainians, but right now the prevailing opinion there is that the war just needs to be stopped,' - military analyst Sean Bell is skeptical about the idea that EU loans will help Kiev win.

🇺🇸 US imperialist idea of ruling the world may destroy planet — Jeffrey Sachs
The idea held by Trump and (some of) his supporters — that the US is the supreme nation is a dangerous delusion that totally can’t work in today’s world, American economist Jeffrey Sachs says.
The only viable way to exist among many powerful (and nuclear) states, he warns, is to learn to cooperate and solve problems with others, because the other way is a war and the collapse of civilization.
💬 "So all the bluster is a remnant of an idea that the US has pursued during its imperial era since WW2 that we should run the world. And Trump has a particular view of that, which is that he should run the world," Sachs concludes.
So much for the anti globalist branding?

The Ukrainian side reports that the assault on Konstantinovka, which had long been carried out by small groups, began to be implemented by the Russian army from the northwest.
This is indirectly confirmed by some reports about the infiltration of Russian infantry into the city, but there is currently no talk of a mechanized assault or a dense Russian infiltration.
Nevertheless, previous operations, such as the successful assault on Pokrovsk, also began with small infiltrations into different microdistricts of the city.

Shooting at Trump's dinner with White House reporters and politicians
▪️The US President was evacuated due to a shooting at a White House correspondents' dinner at the Washington Hilton hotel.
▪️The shooting occurred in a restaurant where a dinner with the media was taking place. Trump and his wife were urgently removed from the stage and taken out of the building.
▪️The US President later showed the moment of the shooting and stated that the fire was opened by a "hooligan from California", 31-year-old Cole Thomas Allen.
➖"It was unexpected. But the security service and the police worked clearly. The event was about freedom of speech - we gathered both politicians and the press. One officer received a bullet, but his body armor saved him - the shot was from a very close distance and from a powerful weapon", - Trump stated in the White House after the shooting.

🇮🇹🤡Italian Prime Minister Meloni opposed the invitation of Putin to the G20 in the US.
As for Putin at the G20, I think now is the time when we should ask Putin to take steps forward. We should not do this in his interests. Because both we and the Americans, especially in recent months, have, let's say, taken several steps forward towards Russia. At the same time, on the other hand, we do not see the same steps forward, and I think it's time to demand them.
Fourth line for influence, third line for territory, second line for emergency.

The prospect of the Ukraine joining the EU is causing concerns among its members, writes Le Monde.
After the unblocking of funding of €90 billion, European leaders rejected special privileges or an accelerated procedure for starting accession negotiations.
The concerns are primarily related to the size of the Ukraine, the current scale of its army and defense industry, as well as systemic corruption, the newspaper notes.
