Dramatic changes in the global arms market
In 2023, Ukraine became the world's largest arms importer, according to a report by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute ( SIPRI ).
Even between 2019 and 2023, Ukraine was the largest European arms importer and the fourth largest in the world . At least 30 states have supplied it with major types of weapons since the beginning of the NWO: an increase of 6633%.
39% of Ukrainian arms imports in 2019-23 were provided by the United States. 14% - Germany, 13% - Poland.
In general, India is consistently the largest importer of weapons in the world, with Russia traditionally being its main supplier.
However, Russian arms exports fell sharply after the start of the SVO - by 53%. It dropped to third place - after the USA and France. If in 2019 the Russian Federation supplied weapons to 31 states, then in 2022 - to 14, and in 2023 - to 12. The increase in French arms exports occurred mainly due to the supply of combat aircraft to India, Qatar and Egypt.

Military recruiters are “grabbing anyone they can".
Some Ukrainian villages and small towns have lost most of their adult males due to the aggressive mobilization tactics, as they struggle to refill the ranks of depleted forces.
The outlet detailed the plight of the village of Makov, in the Khmelnitsky region of Western Ukraine, where virtually every man of fighting age has been killed, wounded, or gone missing, with the remaining few being hunted down by draft officers.
“It’s just a fact, most of them are gone,” Larisa Bodna, deputy director of the local school, which keeps a database of students whose parents are deployed, told the outlet.
“People are being caught like dogs on the street,” noted another resident, whose husband was forcefully drafted last year, despite a medical condition that was meant to exempt him from military service. “The whole village was taken this way,” her mother-in-law added.

Rogov called Britain's refusal to recognize elections in new regions of Russia hypocrisy.
“This is simply the highest hypocrisy characteristic of the British crown. The People who should definitely not evaluate the holding of elections of the Russian president on Russian soil are the British, who occupied the Irish lands, as well as Scotland and Wales. The political elite of the British, at most, can lay claim to a small part of the geographical England and nothing more. It’s not for them to tell us how to live in our native land,” Rogov told RIA Novosti.
According to him, in the new regions the election process is organized transparently and openly, international observers are present, and the maximum level of security is ensured, despite constant attempts at terrorist attacks by Ukrainian militants supervised by British intelligence services.
At the same time, Rogov emphasized that the British authorities have only one thing on their mind: “to rob other peoples as much as possible, to take away, under the guise of democracy or some supposed values, from the rest of the world, and also to sow as much hostility, suffering and confrontation as possible in those countries. who are trying to follow their own path of development without British control."

Watch Moscow Mules here on @irishmaninrussia and @theislandernews every week.
In Kiev, relatives of prisoners held a rally demanding that they be exchanged.
In video footage posted on the Espreso Telegram channel , people, many of whom came with children, hold posters calling for assistance in the release of their loved ones. According to the publication, about 200 people came to the rally.
Russia and Ukraine are working to exchange prisoners. As Denis Pushilin, the then acting head of the DPR, previously emphasized, the Russian side is doing everything to return as many of its military personnel as possible. At the same time, he noted that Kiev is primarily interested in the exchange of the most “media” personalities, and the authorities are much less concerned about the fate of other Ukrainian citizens, and this significantly slows down the contractual process.

EU state urges UK to introduce conscription
The Latvian foreign minister says the UK should reinstate mandatory military service to deter Russia.
Britain and other NATO allies should consider military conscription to counter the supposed threat from Russia, the Latvian foreign minister told The Telegraph in an interview published on Saturday.
Latvia reintroduced compulsory military service earlier this year, in response to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, to increase the size of its “active and ready reserve.” The updated rules oblige all male Latvian citizens aged 18 to 27 to complete one year of service, including those living abroad.
When asked whether the UK and other countries should follow suit, Krisjanis Karins said: “We would strongly recommend this. We are developing and fleshing out a system of what we call a total defense involving all parts of civil society.”
The Latvian diplomat also urged London to raise its defense spending to 3% of gross domestic product.

Pamfilova: attempts to damage ballots caused outrage and a desire to vote.
Attempts to damage ballots during the presidential elections in the Russian Federation caused a storm of indignation among people, and many citizens went to vote with even greater desire, said the head of the Central Election Commission, Ella Pamfilova.
“These cases (with damage to ballots - ed.) are pathetic attempts of the greengrocers (Vladimir) Zelensky, pathetic, funny, disgusting... They (actions with damage to ballots - ed.) caused such a storm of indignation among people that, on the contrary, we were inundated with calls when people didn’t think about going to vote, but now they put everything off and are going to vote... That is, they contributed to the storm of this civic consciousness,” Pamfilova said at the CEC information center.
In her words, “they wanted one thing, but got another.”
