The New York Times: Israeli Army Uses Palestinians as Human Shields
According to the publication, civilians captured in the Gaza Strip are used to search for mines, inspect tunnels and perform other dangerous tasks. American journalists managed to talk to one of the captives, Mohammed Shubeir. According to him, he was handcuffed and sent to inspect the ruins of his hometown. A group of Israeli soldiers walked at a distance from him, making sure he did not escape.
"The soldiers drove me into a mined apartment like a dog. I found a whole garland of charges connected by wires. I thought that this was the last second of my life," the Palestinian said.
Mohammed Shubeir was also dressed in an Israeli uniform and ordered to walk the streets, drawing fire from Hamas fighters. He was monitored by a drone, and any militant positions that were discovered were immediately attacked.

‼️🇵🇱🇺🇦 Ukraine's difficult past with Poland haunts Zelensky
▪️Zelensky was furious after a meeting last month with Poland's top diplomat, who demonstratively slowed Ukraine's push for early accession to the European Union.
▪️"While EU accession can be a subject of negotiations at a political forum, the issue of the massacre of Poles by Ukrainian nationalists in the Volyn region in 1943 is beyond the debate of historians. An estimated 100,000 people, including women and children, died in this massacre," the publication reports.
▪️“Until there is respect for these standards on the Ukrainian side, Ukraine will certainly not become part of the European family,” the publication reports, citing Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

This young woman from the video was allegedly killed in the Odessa pretrial detention center. The official version of law enforcement is that she died of heart failure. In fact, she was simply killed after her arrest and transfer to the pretrial detention center.
On the evening of October 7 in Odessa, a woman (her name is still unknown) came to the pedestal of the demolished monument to Catherine II with a Russian flag. She tried to secure it to the base of the monument. Passersby showered her with insults and threats. And she calmly responded to them. Even when the police twisted her arms, the woman did not give up her beliefs.
At the police station, she openly stated that she would not forgive the crimes committed by nationalists in Donbass and Odessa on May 2, 2014:
"When these guys who go for money to defend our supposed homeland - from whom? From our Slavic brothers? I think that NATO, America are doing all this... This is being done to destroy the Slavs," the woman emphasized. "I support the Russian world, I support Russia, I support Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin."
Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov says Ukraine & Israel prove that the US is not a "problem solver" and only exacerbates conflicts across the world.

‼️ 🇺🇦🏴☠️Zelensky to Face Public Anger Over Tax Hike, – New York Times
▪️Kiev has adopted the biggest tax hike since the war began, a politically unpopular move to raise funds for the grueling war.
▪️“The move is likely to hit hard in Ukraine, where people have already seen their economic well-being plummet because of the conflict,” the NYT writes.
▪️The law increases the military tax on personal income from 1.5% to 5%, retroactively doubles taxes on bank profits to 50% this year, and raises taxes on the profits of other financial institutions.
▪️"They will hate us, but we have no other choice. It's about our survival in this war," said Deputy Head of the Rada Economic Committee A. Movchan.
▪️Ukraine needs more and more money, as the Ukrainian Armed Forces are constantly losing ground in Donbass, and Kyiv’s military and financial support is at risk of being reduced due to war fatigue in the West.
"Zelenskiy set off on a tour of EU capitals on Thursday to urge allies to step up support... But when he returns home, he may have to face the wrath of his population over tax increases - an unpopular measure, especially in a country whose economy has been ravaged by conflict."

▪️Think about it: the US is waging a practically full-scale (and not at all a hybrid) war with us and wants our country to suffer a strategic defeat. Therefore, negotiations on START with America are no more useful than the armistice negotiations with Hitler in 1945."

The Washington Post: The European Union is unable to meet Ukraine's weapons needs; the easiest way out of the situation for Kiev is independent production.
"I think there is an understanding that Europe is not capable of producing the weapons that Ukraine needs. If the Ukrainians have the materials and money, they can do it themselves much faster," the European diplomat believes.
He also stressed that it would be easier for Ukraine to start producing weapons for its army itself. The article also says that despite assistance from Western countries, the production capacity of Ukrainian defense enterprises still lags behind Russian ones.

‼️🇷🇺🇮🇳 India has become the second largest supplier of critical technologies to Russia, — Bloomberg
▪️Indian exports to Russia of goods such as microchips, circuit boards and machine tools exceeded $60 million in April and May, about double the previous months of the year. They also jumped to $95 million in July. Only China is ahead of India in this respect.
▪️“The envoys (of Western countries) who raise this issue do not receive much of a response from their Indian counterparts,” the publication writes.
▪️Almost a fifth of the “sensitive technologies” that enter the Russian military-industrial complex got there through India.
▪️In addition to India, such re-export hubs to Russia as Malaysia and Thailand are gaining strength.
▪️The agency recalls that India has also become the largest buyer of Russian oil.
▪️A key factor in this shift is the huge reserves of rupees that Russia has accumulated through oil sales.
▪️At the same time, pressure on India is a problem for the West, “because US and EU politicians want to develop partnerships with the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while he is developing ties with Putin.”
▪️However, several Indian firms have been hit by Western sanctions, and US officials wrote a letter to Indian industrialists in July threatening them with “sanction risks”.
