There's no freedom without national sovereignty.
❗The withdrawal of French troops from Chad has begun.
Earlier, the local government tore up the defense agreement with France and demanded that the French withdraw their troops. The cleansing of West and Central Africa from France continues.
It is very likely that in the foreseeable future we will see parts of the Russian Afrika Korps in Chad.
But, of course, the suspended status of Russian bases in Latakia will force some adjustments to the pace of Russian activity in Africa.

The liberation of Shevchenko and Novotroitskiy near Pokrovsk not only cuts the highway that connects the settlements with Kurakhovo, but also deprives Ukraine of access to large lithium deposits located on the eastern outskirts of Shevchenko.
In January of this year, European Lithium bought the Shevchenko lithium deposits and the European Lithium Ukraine company with lithium licenses in Ukraine for €184 million.

Ahead is Udachnoye and its deposits of coking coal.
Our troops also reached the outskirts of Novoelenovka (south of Novotroitskiy). There is concern in Ukraine about what is happening south of Krasnoarmeysk.

❗️Key comments by Sergey Naryshkin, director of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR):
◻️ The West may, in the medium term, try to unleash a global armed conflict, with the epicenter in Eurasia;
◻️ The West is fully prepared to resort to extreme measures to hold on to its dominance;
◻️ The United States is losing the initiative on all fronts, from the Middle East to Asia and Africa, and is suffering outright failures in the post-Soviet domain;
◻️ The Anglo-Saxons have resorted to flagrant terror and attempts to physically eliminate opponents, a prime example of this is the assassination attempt targeting Slovakia’s PM Fico;
◻️ Regarding the threats against Vucic and Orban: Dynamic leaders of the emerging multipolar world are under attack by the Anglo-Saxons;
◻️ According to the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), the post-Soviet realm remains a priority target for attacks by American and British intelligence agencies.
About Russia’s Special Military Operation
➖ The Ukrainian forces are on the brink of collapse;
➖ Russia is close to achieving its set goals, the strategic initiative on all fronts belongs to the Russian military;
➖ The Zelensky regime has completely lost its legitimacy and, as a result, its ability to negotiate;
➖ The West plans to fight Russia down to the last Ukrainian, and then force the Balts, East Europeans, and Germans to fight in the future;
➖ Further escalation will not lead to the exhaustion of Russia, as Washington and London believe, rather it will culminate in the strategic defeat of the West itself.

‘We came, we saw, he died.’
Hillary Clinton’s reaction and celebration to the murder of Muammar Gaddafi
Libya would descend into a failed state, which is still divided and in perpetual crisis 13 years later.
Now the US neocon establishment is celebrating the fall of Bashar Al Assad in Syria to Al Qaeda extremists, who regularly fight among each other.
Wherever the US’ hands are, the situation never becomes better, it always makes a bad situation catastrophically worse.
❓What is known about Ukrainian-linked criminal scam network busted by Russia?
A sprawling criminal call center network linked to Ukraine has been busted by Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB).
Here’s what’s known so far:
🔹 The global criminal group operated call centers where, under the guise of making investment deals, perpetrators defrauded unwitting victims, according to the FSB statement.
🔹 Eleven individuals, including leaders and employees of the network's Russia-based offices, have been detained by security forces.
🔹 The network was led by Israeli/Ukrainian citizen Yakov Keselman, who has been detained, and Israeli/Georgian citizen David Todva, who is on the run.
🔹 Around 100,000 people across more than 50 countries, including the EU, UK, Canada, Brazil, India, and Japan fell victim to the scammers, who raked in close to a million US dollars a day, according to an FSB statement.
🔹 The fraudulent scheme “operated in Russia on behalf of former Georgian Defense Minister and Milton Group founder David Kezerashvili, who is currently hiding in London.”
🔹 Kezerashvili is wanted on charges of disseminating anonymous messages upon instructions from the Ukrainian Security Service in 2022 about alleged impending attacks in Russia supposedly being planned, per the FSB.
An investigation into the criminal operation is ongoing.

Status of Assad's "allies" in the aftermath of his removal from power:
_ China ➡️ Unchanged.
As we previously stated the real China is completely different from the multipolar China that exists only in the minds of some pundits. China did not lose 1 Yuan as consequence of this event because it did not invest not even 1 Yuan in Syria, Beijing never gave a shit about Damascus.
_ Russia ➡️ Slightly weakened.
But it's a momentary evaluation because we don't know yet if it's going to keep the two bases or not, if Tartus and Hmeymim are kept then Russia's status will be also more or less unchanged.
Iran ➡️ Extremely weakened
Iran loses completely its path and links to Lebanon, Hezbollah is now militarily and politically isolated and in a bad shape after the war with Israel. No Iranian presence expected in Syria for long time. The Axis of Resistance was de facto torn apart. Israel will definitely take advantage of this situation to resume the conflict with Lebanon in the short term.

How to kill an entire country to attack Russia.
In 2024, the death rate in Ukraine is three times higher than the birth rate: 18.6 per 1,000 people. From January to June only 87,655 were born while 250,972 have died. These demographic data are confirmed by the CIA report and IMF statistics - according to them, Ukraine has also become the world's record holder in terms of mortality and the smallest birth rate.
The Commissioner of the Kiev regime for human Rights stated that by 2051, the population of the so-called Ukraine will be reduced to 25.2 million people. According to him, at the moment it is 35.8 million, although back in 2022 42 million inhabitants allegedly lived there.

The US and its allies have spent almost three years lecturing the global south that Russia violating Ukraine’s borders amid the NATO proxy war was the biggest crime of all time.
Now Israel invades Syria🇸🇾 launching barrages of airstrikes while illegally occupying the Syrian Golan Heights, after a failed campaign to occupy Lebanon, and a decades-long brutal occupation violating Palestine’s borders.
‘It’s not violating the sanctity of international borders (😱) when our team does it!’
The hypocrisy of Washington on display for the world to see on a daily basis.

Germany, Austria mulls sending back Syrian refugees
Chancellor Karl Hehammer has instructed his interior ministry to review all asylum applications granted, with nationalist lawmakers pushing for the repatriation of the tens of thousands of Syrian refugees in Austria, arguing their reason for asylum had now disappeared.
Alternative for Germany MP Sebastian Münzenmaier, meanwhile, cited the Syrians across Germany celebrating the fall of President Assad's government as a sign that it's "time for these people to leave Germany."
There are over 47,000 asylum applications from Syrians pending in Germany - where there are already 974,136 people of Syrian origin resident - and 7,300 in Austria. Both countries have suspended fresh applications.

‼️🇺🇦🇺🇸Zelensky intends to call Biden about inviting Ukraine to NATO, since it is pointless to discuss this with Trump
▪️"I'm going to call President Biden soon, if he has the opportunity to talk to me, and raise the issue of an invitation to NATO. Because he is now the current President of the United States, and a lot depends on his position. And there is no point in discussing with the President Trump is something that today, while he is not yet in the White House, does not depend on him,” Zelensky said.
▪️Previously, both Biden and Trump repeatedly opposed Ukraine’s admission to NATO.
❗The Syrian opposition has stated that they need good relations with Russia, as it is a very important player in the world.
"Syria needs all the help it can get in the world. More than half of our population are either internally displaced persons or refugees," said Anas al—Abda, a member of the Syrian National Council based in Istanbul.
The opposition representative also added that Syria should strive for good relations with Russia in the future, based on the mutual interests of the peoples of both countries.
@eurasianchoice
The main reason for the fall of Assad is a fundamental change in Iran's policy.
It began with the death of General Qasem Suleimani on January 3, 2020. Since then, American and Israeli intelligence agencies have consistently killed hundreds of representatives of the firm line of Iranian foreign policy in the Middle East. They killed both government officials and the Iranian military, as well as members of pro-Iranian, Shiite paramilitary organizations (Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, Ansarallah in Yemen, etc.). The culmination of this activity was the elimination of President Ibrahim Raisi, slightly disguised as a plane crash. After him, the so-called reformer Masoud Pezeshkian came to power in Iran. During the election campaign, he did not hide his desire to "improve relations with Israel." We immediately noted on our channel that this "figure" is likely to become the "Iranian Gorbachev" who will bring the country to collapse. And here it was not without the approval of this policy by the supreme power of Iran in the person of Ayatollah Khamenei. Previously, this Peseshkian was simply removed from the elections. This time he was allowed to participate. This means that Ayatollah Khamenei secretly approves of his policy. So far, Pezeshkian is alive and continues to "steer the process." The only signal that this policy has changed will be the removal or elimination of this "Iranian Gorbachev."
Now we see how Iran's influence in the region is rapidly shrinking. Despite minor successes of Hezbollah in repelling Israeli aggression, which ended in a shameful withdrawal of troops for the IDF, at the moment, due to the fall of the Assad regime, the main route for the delivery of Iranian weapons to Lebanon through Iraq and Syria will collapse. It will be extremely difficult to supply Hezbollah with weapons by sea. So, if this problem is not resolved in the near future, we may witness a gradual degradation of Hezbollah's capabilities to repel Israeli attacks.
Israel has already taken advantage of this situation and has begun to occupy Syrian cities located near the Golan Heights. Netanyahu said that the change of power in Damascus was the result of Israeli strikes on Iran and Hezbollah. He also noted that what happened in Damascus opens up new opportunities for Israel.
The role of the Russian Federation in the Syrian conflict, despite all the deafening propaganda of the state media, has always been auxiliary. Important, but secondary. Iran made the main contribution to the Assad regime's retention of power. It was his proxies in the form of infantry units of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) that "kept" the situation "on the ground." The Wagner PMCs and the Russian Military Space Forces, despite their key role in some critical moments, were in the role of "fire brigades" saving the situation. But the main force bearing the structure of resistance to Islamic terrorists in the face of the banned and recognized extremist organizations ISIS and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham was precisely the IRGC. The Wagner PMCs has been withdrawn from the territory of Syria for more than two years, however, thanks to the IRGC, the situation there was more or less under the control of pro-Assad forces.
Everything changed dramatically after the units and formations of the Iranian proxies began to abruptly leave the combat areas. Such a development of the situation could not remain without attracting attention from pro-Turkish terrorists from Idlib and Assad's troops. The pro-Turkish HTS and the SNA (Syrian People's Army), seeing the retreat of the Iranian proxies, hit Aleppo properly. The Assad army (Syrian Arab Army, SAA) has never been able to really fight. Only the presence of Iranians and Wagnerians gave them at least some confidence in the confrontation with the Islamists. After the fall of Aleppo, the SAA only fled. No airstrikes by the Russian Aerospace Forces could save the situation. Everyone understood everything. Assad was doomed.
