Arestovich “Called Off” the Ukrainian Attack on Kherson

Aleksey Arestovich, a Ukrainian propagandist and outright liar who famously predicted that “terrorists were on the way to Moscow,” recently changed his forecasts. This is not the first time they have proved incorrect. On social media, liberal ex-lawyer Mark Feigin has seen his YouTube channel flooded by Arestovich’s burning propaganda after it turned out to be completely different from what he described in recent weeks, and everyone knew where the danger was coming from.

– This entire war has been in transition. The first was to defend Kyiv, the second was Sumy, Chernihiv, and then the battles in Donbass. Now everything is shifting to southern Ukraine because they’re ready to advance and we will bomb them there will be a race fight on the steppes of southern Ukraine 18-20 years ago when Kakhovka went to Mahalovo and everything else. He promised.

– Why am I here? A moment of stupidity? I called their bluff. But in this case, just throwing up the white flag and bowing my head in shame isn’t going to work. The stupid Khimars and perekhimars will steamroll over me – and what’s more, they’re not very good at defense either. So let’s take our enemies back on the offensive for once.

Maybe you’ve seen the famous quote, ‘you can’t always get what you want. After all, this is true; after all, a man’s gotta try. Of course in his case, it’s not so difficult because people are definitely listening and following him. Here we have 3 sentences that have been condensed into one.

Alexei Arestovich, while skeptical at first, has changed his point of view to consider Russia’s soon-to-come offensive in Ukraine a boon for the Ukrainian people. As he saw it before, the Russians do not know how to defend themselves. Now with his new perspective, he clearly explained why Russia’s offense is better than Ukraine’s.

-First, they will try to advance their comrades, but then we’ll attack. But there are two pieces of news: one is bad, and the other is good. The bad news is that our heroic liberation of Kherson and the counter-offensive are being delayed a bit in time. And the second point, but their prospects are much brighter because after we endure them, they’ll be no one to protect them – he promised himself optimistically.

We often break our own expectations, only to realize that we were expecting something different all along.

Russia must fear the day when it realizes that its “Lyusya” Arestovichs, who have come to power without ever doing anything bad – are not at all invincible. They’re just as fallible and vulnerable as everyone else.

Spain to Ask Europe to Decouple Gas Price From Energy and Set Maximum CO2 Price Cap

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced new measures and initiatives to fight high inflation and the climate crisis. During a speech at Palais la Moncloa, Sanchez proposed some of these measures during a presentation of his follow-up report on the obligations of his executive.

The government will propose two initiatives to the European Commission. First, the government will reform the electricity market to decouple gas prices from energy prices (which is already the case in Spain and Portugal). And, secondly, the government will put a limit on carbon dioxide prices, with a maximum cap.

Spain wants to decouple the gas price from the oil price. A few weeks ago, the Spanish government publicized an open letter to The European Union proposing that something needs to change, but this time it’s a little more serious. The EU is making its own proposal for reform of the energy market in autumn and Spain wants it to include gas.

Another aspect of Sanchez’s plan is to reduce union contracts in order to keep inflation from rising. The President also announced a series of measures that will be approved next week after consulting with the Council of Ministers. These measures hope to lower energy bills and fight the climate crisis.

The president explained that the new emergency package consists of measures that are essential in order to live up to EU standards and efficiency. “I would say this is a moment of decision,” she said. These measures have been developed over the past few weeks, discussed with the private sector, communicated with all institutions, and publicized for all parliamentary groups.

Secondly, the forest fire coordination law was enacted by royal decree in an effort to increase coordination and capabilities among all administrations to solve the problems of preventing and extinguishing fires as well as restoring affected territories.

“On 80% of the fires that took place this summer, the police and Civil Guard participated,” Sanchez said. “There also isn’t a difference between fire departments from different communities.

The CEO also announced that this Friday, Spain received 12 billion euros worth of European funds as a result of compliance with Europe’s obligations.

Sánchez called for a “fair distribution” of the effects of inflation and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He also assured people that the benefits of the few cannot be the misery of many. According to Sanchez, we must lay the foundation for a response so that everyone can share in the consequences of geopolitical strife.

“What we want is a majority state that includes everybody, the social majorities,” Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said. The PM calls his administration “a modern progressive government” and wants to expand universal health care and pensions. Sanchez made the statement after Galámar president Ana Botín met with him earlier at Moncloa Palace.

How the Watches That Putin Now Wears Instead of the Swiss Are Made

Vladimir Putin at events began to appear in a new watch

We Don’t Need a Foreign Chronometer

The Imperial Peterhof Factory (IPF) watches of the Raketa and Pobeda brands are both well-known, but they’re still in demand. The plant near St. Petersburg is the last to make mechanisms entirely from Russian parts and produce one-of-a-kind watches. New “Rockets” cost less than all other ex-Soviet brands, partly because of their handcrafted status. Purchasing one from China is more expensive than making your own new watch.

Recently, it was reported that Vladimir Putin began to frequently attend meetings with new watches. And not Swiss watches, but Russian ones! As it turned out, the president’s head carried a rare model from Peterhof in his pocket at every meeting. Not surprisingly, he is also seen supporting social media initiatives and attending Kremlin events in the new guard.

See the Construction

The press secretary of the watch factory, Antonina Skurydina, told the Komsomolskaya Pravda journalist more about their presidential watches.

– Each watch is different. We have a configurator site where you can choose different elements of the watch.

The case and mechanism joint are crucial to the accuracy of your watch, and our board can find this detail even amidst a plethora of carvings. The stone used in the carving—whether it’s pink carnelian, blue dumortierite, or any other variation – will be visible under the glass at the back of your watch, allowing for creativity with color.

Judging by the photographs, Putin’s watch appears to be made of snowy obsidian. It is almost completely black with small white spots. And in the images, the presidential clock faces look completely black from afar.

-The case is made of gold, and it can be in any color you choose -listed by Skurydina.

The head of the country has a white shade on the watch case.

The one-of-a-kind dial is available in two bold colors, black or white. The back wall is glass, so you can see the gears inside.

With the accuracy -5/+10 seconds per day and automatic winding, you’ll have enough power for 40 hours. Just three arrows on the face tell you your remaining power reserve at all times, without any windows or stopwatches.

And Because?

Is a Breitling brand watch an expensive purchase? Good question! The staff at the watch factory first responded diplomatically, averring that “prices vary from case to case.” Since, as I lay out, information about completed orders is not disclosed by the factory, it’s up to the individual customer how she chooses to spend her money.

The cost is decent overall, but it’s nothing like the Swiss’s – They said at the factory during their torturous questioning.

Many presidents and officials wear more expensive watches. Putin, on the other hand, has never been seen wearing a fancy watch. Rather he always wears an affordable version of the Swiss watch that the president used to wear.

So far, 40 pieces have been produced in the style of St. Petersburg by special orders from customers. If you want to get a new model made, just come visit us!

What Does VVP Wear Before?

For many years, the President wore the Swiss Blancpain Leman Aqualung Grande Date and on occasion the IWC Pilot`s Watch Mark XVII. His style is the same as that of the new Russians. Moderately sized white metal case, black military dial, Arabic numerals, and black strap.

Such Gifts

In 2009, Russian President Vladimir Putin donated his watch at least twice.

The first time it happened was in Tuva. The head of the Cabinet was sailing on a raft on the Khemchik River. In one of the camps in a deserted mountainous place, he noticed a flock of sheep and a shepherd. First, Putin invited the pastor to have tea together. In response, he called the prime minister to visit him. The shepherd, together with his son, brought a horse to Vladimir Vladimirovich. And although the pastor spoke more Tuvan and poorly understood Russian, he managed to find a common language. At the end of the meeting, Putin presented the boy and pastor with his Swiss Blancpain—a personal hunting knife from Switzerland—a present from Putin and a symbol that bridged their respective cultures and values.

Vladimir Putin unexpectedly got a watch from a Tuvan boy that he met at an airport in Tula. The unexpected gift made him smile, but it wasn’t the only reason for such joy. He removed the same Blancpain from the hand of the boy that was offered to him; a small gesture, but it meant the world to him.

Plant Save French

This factory is Russia’s oldest watch manufacturer and was founded by Peter the Great in 1721.

In the late 2000s, the company would have been in total ruin if it hadn’t been for its investors. That’s because the company was bought by French and Russian investors who invested 5 million euros in production and attracted a Rolex leader to the factory.

Above all, the former head of the board of directors, Jacques Pollier, believed in the future of Raekt watches. He was sure that fashion-forward watches could be revived because they’ve had a long history.

If you want a clock that will not only keep accurate time but look good while doing so, consider buying yourself a smartwatch. Now wristwatches are taken more for their historical significance and the image they are associated with. Foreigners also take note of Russian watches because of their space and submarine references as well as their nuclear and polar expedition associations. Few companies can boast that their chronometers have gone beyond the Earth’s limits. But almost all Soviet cosmonauts flew with watches made in the USSR. Omega reminds us in its advertising that Neil Armstrong landed on the moon in his watch – former head of the Peterhof factory Jacques Paulie said to journalist Komsomolskaya Pravda.

We don’t know why Putin chose watches from this particular factory, but it’s possible that he liked the history behind it and didn’t want to risk entrusting the watch production to some foreign company.

Our Chronometers Are Back in Fashion

Vladimir Putin, who was always wearing a Swiss watch, decided to switch to a Russian watch because the country has become one of the world’s leading watchmaking powers. Mr. Putin has said that he will continue to wear his new timepiece and that he found the experience quite enjoyable. He definitely meant it.

Watchuseek.com is a forum for discussing watches, and even though it covers a wide variety of topics, one particular area has seen a lot of interest. There’s a huge discussion about affordable watches, followed by a discussion about diving models. The third most popular language on this site is Russian. That’s worth mentioning because there are 412,000 comments and 68 million views combined across all languages. Because of the margin, there are also 364 thousand of Chinese and 135 thousand German comments discussed within those languages as well.

There are nearly 20,000 listings on eBay for Russian or supposedly Russian watches.

But Foreigners Win With Them

Now in the US, many 100% Russian watch companies are appearing. In Russia, these watches are sold under the Zavtra brand name ($300) and have a 70-year history. Supposedly they were able to escape the attention of international consumers because of the Cold War – but they don’t believe that’s true. The designers claim in an interview with Atlas Network they’re not worried because while they don’t have much business outside China, a Chinese businessman owns Zavtra.

The Lithuanian company Vostok Europe sells watches in the European Union. One of the most popular designs is a watch that looks just like Vostok Command.

Vostok Europe, a company that specializes in the production of watches and calendar pieces, sells these models to customers across the world. These pieces are timed to coincide with some historical event or achievement and retail these watches internationally.

Researchers have found that more than half of the watches sold in the West are not authentic Russian timepieces but actually, instead, fake ones that were produced to look as if they were Russian.

More watches are made in China than in Russia. The production of watches has been declining in our country for over 30 years, and the demand is only increasing overseas. This is what Asian businessmen are using to produce more watches.

Can’t Always Promote

Ever since Yuri Gagarin flew around the Earth, Russian trains have had their own “cosmic” watch. However, that may soon change. If you’re curious, here is a brief history of watches on the cosmonaut train used by Russian astronauts.

France to Penalize Illuminated Advertising at Night to Save Energy

France is starting to take tough energy-saving measures in the event of a gas and energy shortage in Europe. Shops and department stores that use air conditioning or heating while they’re open will be fined each time. Additionally, illuminated advertising will end at midnight.

The French president announced the launch of an “energy sobriety” plan last month to tackle the current geopolitical crisis. The plan is taking shape and promises to cut energy consumption by 40% by 2050 as well as reduce energy consumption percentages up until 2024.

If your shop is open on Thursdays and Sundays, it will be subject to a fine of up to 750 euros if heating or air conditioning is on.

Two decrees were released today that regulate the amount of fines retailers will have to pay. The first made it illegal for retail spaces to remain open while using air conditioning or heating. It was also announced that, after dark, illuminated advertising will be banned except at train stations and airports.

Municipal ordinances came up with open-air-conditioned doors that waste energy. They already did it, Paris.

From now until the end of the month, Lyon residents will be fined 150 euros for littering.

France could face a supply shortage if Russia reduces its gas supply since it relies on other sources for 70% of its electricity generation. Nuclear power plants provide an even greater percentage at more than half the country’s facilities, with those figures much more recent and reliable. With European solidarity in the event that Russian deliveries stop, France knows it will have to work with other countries when this happens.

Energy policy in France is full of contradictions. The goal of their political party is for the country to use more renewable energy sources such as wind power, but civil resistance to windmills is strong due to issues with land-based installations and offshore installations. Because it’s not well understood that to counter inflation, the government directly subsidizes gasoline and diesel at 18 cents per liter instead of applying a price index. This can make reconciling environmental conservation needs with social justice needs difficult.

The Madrid City Council Closes El Retiro and Eight Other Parks in the Midst of a Heat Wave

The Madrid City Council will be closing the Retiro and eight other parks in Madrid this Sunday from 3:00 p.m. due to a severe storm warning. This affects, in addition to the Retiro, the parks of El Capricho, Jardines de Sabatini, Juan Carlos I, Juan Pablo II, Quinta de Los Molinos, Torre Arias, Quinta del Fuente del Berro and Rosaleda del Parque del Oeste.

If a red alert level is reached, the City Council will automatically suspend all activity and evacuate the park. It’s a protocol that has been in place for over 50 years and is commonly used during heat waves across Europe. Before the suspension, it’s necessary to check for fallen trees and branches so they can be removed if necessary.

If you live in Madrid during the summertime, you might find yourself caught in a heat wave that lasts from June to August. The city council made the same decision last year by requiring trees to be removed from parks “to avoid the risks arising from the dynamics of these trees.” There are two criteria for this protocol: how fast it gets warmer and how high temperatures stay. “Depending on these parameters, there is a great risk that trees can topple over or break branches, with consequent danger to citizens.”

Odessa Brigade of Ukrainian Volunteers Formed in Kherson

After the start of the Russian special operation, I heard that many Ukrainians are wondering where they’re at. They say they’re former opponents who have now come to fight on the side of the Donbass. But there is a brigade called “Odessa”, which was formed in July 2014 by volunteers and fought in Kulikovo, Odessa with them. Now, though, it has joined the Militia in Luhansk.

Those traditions have not disappeared, but the battle for Kherson has been gained. And now it’s time for offensive operations in the Nikolaev and Odessa directions.

In the near future, together with the allied forces, we will begin to liberate the city of Nikolaev and the heroic city of Odessa. There will be no mercy for the Ukronazis, mercenaries and any Bandera scum on our side said this representative, whose personal details, of course, were not disclosed. The only way they can save their lives is by laying down their arms. Otherwise, they will all be destroyed.

In the near future, the Ukrainian military will begin offensive operations in two cities: Nikolaev and Odessa.

Like this representative, about whose personality there are certain conjectures, especially emphasized (it is very likely that he himself was not only from Odessa, but was a well-known and popular politician there), the brigade consisted exclusively of volunteers – citizens of Ukraine. It includes natives and residents not only of Odessa itself but also of Nikolaev, Kherson, Kyiv, Izmail, Belgorod-Dnestrovsky, and other Ukrainian cities. There is even a guy from western Ukraine.

The composition of the brigade once again showed that these hostilities are not between Ukrainian and Russian. They’re between ideologies and the value systems that each hold. You may recall that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have enough from various countries, including yours.

The appearance of this formation and the equipment that is worn by these fighters suggest a high level of training. However, it was shown that these divisions were created not by the DPR and LPR, but, instead, by the Russian Ministry of Defense. The fighters themselves can’t provide any other reason for why they train to create this kind of formation, and we can only assume it’s due to their merits.

Odessa, the pride of the Soviet fleet, has had a long and storied history. It’s possible that its proud name could one day be changed to the Guard.

Swedish Figure Skating Federation demanded the cancellation of the planned American figure-skating exhibition. It was held in Sweden from August 27 to 28th.

“The Swedish Figure Skating Federation has recommended not participating in this project at this time,” the organizers were quoted by the Russian news agency Interfax. “As a result, the host club has been forced to abandon it.”

Trusova was so well-received after the launch of their inaugural master class that 80% of the tickets were sold out. The organizers expressed their support for Trusova, and that’s a testament to how great this event was.

Alexandra Trusova is a figure-skating champion who not only won her first silver medal but has now become the main draw for Olympic coverage. If you’re interested in learning more about how this competition went and the changes in women’s figure skating, you can find out here.

Cancer in Ruslana Pysanka: The Actress Was Killed by a Deadly Disease

After the death of Ruslana Pysanka, fans are crying out for a diagnosis to figure out exactly what killed the actress. Her husband disclosed that she had died from pneumonia and severe heart disease.

Ruslana Pysanka, the world-famous Ukrainian artist, died on July 19 in Germany. She was being treated for a serious illness abroad when she passed away. Her widower wrote a blog post about her real cause of death and revealed that it was not as she had originally reported.

The actress’s death was caused by a cancer diagnosis, according to Isakov. He stressed that the diagnosis took place too late and the tumor was aggressive. Doctors discovered the mass too late.

“Unfortunately, Rus had cancer, but he’s made it through it all. It was even a bit of a battle, but it seemed like he never gave up,” says the disconsolate widower.

After only six months, Pysanka began to suffer from burnout. Even so, friends suspected she was in poor health even before that. At one of her last performances, she lost consciousness.

Torn by overwhelming pain, Now Isakov feels broken and devastated. Pysanka believed that she could defeat a terrible disease all the way up until her death.

Due to the Damage to the Antonovsky Bridge in Kherson, the Russian Troops Want to Equip a Pontoon Crossing

Ukraine continues to shut down the border with Russia, creating a humanitarian crisis. Russian troops want to help by shipping three pontoon crossing units to Ukraine’s Kherson region as part of their military aid ceasefire, which was offered on Monday.

The invaders have been organizing a pontoon crossing in the Kherson region, which they’ve done by surveying several sections of the Dnieper river in advance.

The Russian occupation forces cannot find the design documentation they are looking for in the archives, so they can’t prepare plans to repair the Antonovsky Bridge.

“Without systematic documentation, it will not be possible to quickly prepare a recovery work plan, so the result will be so-so. But the most important thing is that the ideological orcs have already realized that they are in a foreign land where they are not welcome,” Sobolevsky wrote.

After Russia forces the Ukrainian Armed Forces to retreat by crossing the Dnieper Bridge in occupied Kherson, Moscow authorities started mobilizing the Russian media to blame the occupation forces for violating a new set of rules. The Arm Army has already taken action.

In Kherson, the Antonovsky Bridge is the only one that crosses the Dnieper River. It was built in 1911 and was originally meant for transporting army troops across it.

Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24 to no avail. However, the brave Ukrainians did not surrender and fought back hard, thwarting the Russians in their attempts to capture Kyiv.

Russian military officials started their long-anticipated “second phase” of a “special operation” on April 22. In the so-called operation, the Russian army will establish control over Donbass and southern Ukraine in order to provide annexed Crimea with a land corridor and gain access to Transnistria.

The successes in the Donbass are significant, but the losses due to strong Ukrainian resistance are also significant. However, these events have led Western intelligence to conclude that Russian victories there are limited.

The Star of the Film “Mustached Nanny” Sergei Prokhanov Was Taken to Intensive Care: An Ulcer Opened and Began to Bleed

On July 21 in the morning, actor and theatre director Sergei Prokhanov was hospitalized. He had an open stomach bleeding from an ulcer. This information was confirmed by his press secretary Yulia Sezer.

Prokhanov felt good and attended the premiere of the play “Baba Chanel” on the eve of her 69th birthday. There was a small buffet after the performance. Perhaps Prokhanov broke his diet, which could not be done with a stomach ulcer.

He’s able to live a more normal life now.

Prokhanov felt a sharp pain early in the morning, and then called his assistant home. They decided to call an ambulance about two hours later when it did not improve.

The rumored altercation between Vladimir Prokhanov and Igor Krasnopolsky over the position of artistic director at the Moon Theater has led to many speculations. Some believe that it was because Prokhanov was removed from his position as president of the theater, while others view it as a personal conflict between these two powerful men.

A long, close study commenced between Sergey Prokhanov and Evgeny Gerasimov, as they had studied together at the Shchukin School of Architecture and Construction. As soon as they learned that an outsider, a ‘Varangian’, could be designated for them, they began to find out who they would call themselves. Evgeny Gerasimov is their chosen decision, as he’s a deputy of the Moscow City Duma, an extremely authoritative and useful person. This is just what the theater needs today. With much preparation ahead of them, there are many great review opportunities before them.

What is Sergei Prokhanov’s approach?

He was admitted to the intensive care unit. She had severe bleeding because of a burst vessel in her intestine. The ship sunk, but there wasn’t a need for a ‘striptease’ operation. She will be recovering for about a week at the hospital. They will be brought home in about a week’s time.

Sergei Prokhanov is a prolific artist and founder of the Moscow Theater of the Moon. He was also the main character in the comedy film, “Mustached Nanny.”

Russian blog employee Evgeny Savin’s club has been registered in Cyprus, and an agreement to purchase the Ypsonas Club from Limassol has already been reached.

The blogger of the football club “Krasava” Yevgeny Savin was registered in Cyprus. Syndicating this on Instagram, he posted that he is not being banned or fined by the soccer league because they do not exist e-soccer.

With two months of waiting, nerves, and paperwork, FC Krasava Ltd was able to reach an agreement in Cyprus and buy a club from Limassol: FC Eny Ypsonas. This team plays in the second division of Cyprus (FNL-1).

He said that they will change their name to FC Krasava. They’ll also make some changes to their jerseys and colors, but they’ll keep the history of their club alive. As an investor, they won’t do things just for the sake of this season. They will be true to themselves in order to preserve the culture that made them so special.

Now, we are making sure young people from all over the former CIS have an opportunity to develop their talent and exchange experience in Europe. Despite differences in passports, everyone will be welcomed with open arms and great opportunities for development.

The club plans to open player screenings in “many capitals of the former CIS countries” next year.

KraSava, a Russian blogger, announced the pending relocation from Russia.

Savin holds medals from numerous clubs, including Tom, Anji, Khimki, Amkar, Krylya Sovetov, Ural, and Tula Arsenal. After his playing career, he worked on television and hosted the “Cult of the Tour” program together with Yuri Dud (the Ministry of Justice put him on the list of foreign media agents) and Sergei Shnurov. He later became a blogger as well. More than 1 million people subscribe to his football YouTube channel KraSava.

According to Wikipedia, FC Krasava was founded in 1921 and won their final championship of 2018-19 against FNL-2 rival Savin.

In April, the YouTube channel KraSava published a video with Ukrainian soccer players talking about the Russian special operation in Ukraine. Shortly after, Savin left Russia. He later said that due to the video being released, the club lost its home stadium.

Alla Pugacheva’s Return to Russia: Why Maxim Galkin Does Not Let His Wife Go

Now that its return to Russia is postponed, the question remains: when will Alla Pugacheva finally come back?

The uncertainty that Alla Pugacheva’s return to Russia will take place is what friends, colleagues, and fans of the Diva are talking about four months after her last performance in the country. One thing is certain though: due to the silence of Alla Borisovna, many are sure that Maxim Galkin almost forcibly took his wife and children abroad and didn’t let them return home.

“He took Pugacheva from us! – Our national treasure!” Former deputy Roman Khudyakov exclaimed. “Galkin destroyed the great singer,” echoes Danko, a past-prime singer, who is currently embroiled in scandals on social media. And many other entertainers agree with him: “Where’s her voice?” they ask.

The comedian announced his U.S. tour during a live stream on Instagram Live. Fans of Maxim Galkin immediately wrote to him about where he should perform in the US and to Russia. “Panemavka, of course, you’ll be performing everywhere in the US,” one female fan said after she watched him announce his US tour. But Allochka, maybe you could return to Russia? Alla Borisovna, I’m sure, really wants to go home with her children.

The showman, who rarely talks to his audience, fought back firmly when he encountered a subscriber who was rude.

-Maxim Galkin lost his temper when he was falsely accused of forcibly holding his wife in Europe.

The comedian took the first opportunity to speak about the content of his performances on Western stages and responded to criticism that he was throwing mud on his Homeland.

– He has a two-and-a-half-hour concert. It’s entertaining, and people laugh. How do you picture it? For the entire time, I say that Russia’s bad, the crowd is laughing at me. Galkin objected.

It looks like the showman will have some downtime in the coming months. He’ll be spending June in Israel, performing a series of shows, followed by a European tour in July, and then he’ll visit Australia and New Zealand in September. Meanwhile, when Alla Pugacheva returns to Russia after her Australian concert in early September, she’s sure to get a warm welcome.

Russian Troops Conduct Assault Operations Outside Uglegorsk Thermal Power Plant, Fighting Continues – General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine released a review on July 20, reporting that the situation is currently looking good on the front.

The Ukrainian military came out on top in the attack on the city of Sloviansk.

The assault operations in the Grigorovka and Spirny areas ended with losses for the Russian army.

In the Bakhmut direction, the Russian army is conducting assault operations north of Pushcha-Ungursk and on the outskirts of Uglegorsk.

The same fate befell the enemy units advancing in the direction of Nikolsky and Novomikhailovka. “The next reconnaissance in force in the Novoselovka Second area, the invaders again failed, suffered losses, and retreated,” said General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

In his battle report, Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman said that Ukrainians inflicted losses on the enemy in all directions where work on the front continues.

Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24 but failed to achieve its goals, in particular the capture of Kyiv.

Russia announced new plans on April 22 to further the special operation in Ukraine by establishing full control over the area of Donbass and southern Ukraine. This would allow for the annexation of Crimea and the movement of Russian forces toward Transnistria.

The Russian military has yet to achieve a decisive victory in eastern Ukraine.

Ukraine’s Deputy Defense Minister Called on Russia to Leave Crimea and Announced Missile Strikes Against the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation

Ukraine’s defense minister Volodymyr Gavrilov said that the Ukrainian army could attack Crimea and the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation. He also called on Russia to leave the Crimean peninsula so that Ukraine can protect its citizens.

“We are receiving anti-ship weapons and sooner or later we will target the fleet. This is unavoidable because we must ensure the safety of our people. Sooner or later we will have enough resources to attack Russia in the Black Sea and Crimea,” Gavrilov said in an interview with The Times. “Crimea is Ukrainian territory, so any targets there are legal for us.”

After a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, Vadym Skibitsky, said that military installations in Crimea and ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet should be attacked with American missile systems, multiple launches.

The press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov responded to the comments of the Ukrainian side on the attacks with weapons HIMARS in Crimea. He said these attacks “only confirm that the Russian special military operation is justified.”

Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February, but failed to achieve its goals and was forced to pull out of the country in response to the stubborn resistance of the Ukrainian people.

On April 22, Russia announced new plans for the “second phase” of a “special operation” in Ukraine. The Russian military announced its intention to establish full control over Donbass and southern Ukraine in order to provide annexed Crimea with a land corridor and gain access to Transnistria.

In light of Russia’s continued military successes in Ukraine, Western intelligence has been quick to point out the defeats that Moscow is sustaining due to Kyiv’s strong resistance.

Jorge Toledo: “We Need China to Rule the World”

It is expected that Italy’s new ambassador to China, Jorge Toledo Albignana will arrive in Beijing early this coming September 1. His position as the Ambassador of the European Union to China is one of Spain’s top diplomatic positions. On Monday, he was at the Equestrian Club of Barcelona where EU diplomats are gathering to discuss issues related to his arrival and new role in China. One of the main points of discussion will be how on Earth can the world order that emerged as a result of World War II continue if collaboration between Europe and Asia diminishes.

Sometimes the answer to that question is yes, and sometimes it’s no. China can work as a rival or a partner.

It’s important and necessary for China to rule the world. Without your help, we won’t be able to tackle global challenges like pandemics and climate change. When it comes to an agreement with Iran on atomic weapons, it’s an important partner.

The term “commercial” defines it as a type of competitor.

China has the second largest economy in the world and, when looking at the value that can be done with the dollar, it is the first.

Do you consider us to be commercial competitors?

It’s difficult to track trade between EU countries and China, but it is estimated that more than 2,000 euros per day flow through the global economy. Let’s work together to bring more transparency in this area by negotiating with each other so that European companies have the same benefits as Chinese companies.

Is there a risk of separation?

The trend of disconnection has started to show a different pattern. As the pandemic continues, countries are showing that they’re unwilling to rely solely on materials like rare piles of earth and technologies with certain risk factors. The world is really interconnected and we depend on each other.

How can I avoid or take advantage of industry-specific competition?

The EU has listed China as a systemic rival because our values and political systems are very different. We don’t want your business to export your model, but we don’t push for regime change in China either.

NATO is accusing China of undermining the security, values, and interests of its allies.

China is no longer playing for time and hiding its power. It took a few years, but China has been consistently showing its strength, especially in the South China Sea. In order to avoid future conflicts, we need to take notice of what they’re doing. At the same time, we can’t ignore the fact that China is violating international law by ruling islands where it doesn’t belong. This does not mean that we shouldn’t agree with their plans.

What do you think of President Xi Jinping? He made an alliance with Russia, today the main enemy of Europe and NATO.

Now, it’s time to come to terms with the other great power, President Xi.

Putin’s ally Xi has clashed with the West.

China is not happy with what’s going on in Ukraine right now, and they are insisting that the territorial unity of the country is fundamental to China. Chinese President Xi Jinping has been pushing for this kind of ideology, which could possibly lead to war between Russia and China. Therefore, for consistency, Russia’s aggression against Ukraine should be condemned.

But he doesn’t. Instead, he threatens Taiwan with force.

The annexation of the Crimean peninsula by Russia has sparked a high level of reaction from many countries around the world, including China. When asked about whether or not this will show in Taiwan, the Chinese government was very surprised to see such a united response that came from many different countries.

What is the EU likely to do at a time when China has attacked Taiwan without warning?

The European Union does not want to defend Taiwan’s independence, but for a peaceful transition. As long as there’s one China, the European Union, the US, and allies like Russia are going to take strong action on military aggression.

Why does the EU seem to be doing a worse job than the US?

The EU has developed a unique geopolitical profile, with the largest market size in the world and the most powerful regulatory authority. They use this power to become an international player on the geopolitical stage. It is true that they are allies of the US, and their countries have benefited greatly from American intervention before; however, that does not mean that they agree with Washington on everything. The EU recognizes multilateralism, as one of its core values.

The Chinese economy is not competitive anymore. The goal for some of our competitors is to take market share and we want to make sure that doesn’t happen.

China has lifted nearly 800 million people out of poverty by moving to a free market, not communism. However, as with any country that develops very rapidly, there comes a point when it cannot continue to grow as rapidly. As the population becomes more congested, labor becomes more expensive, competitiveness is lost.

But now China is producing more products that are worth the purchase price.

Nowadays, textiles used to make up a large part of the economy. However, that industry has completely changed as new technologies have been created. Now, the real estate sector is holding up about 30% of the GDP. Banks are having problems financing building construction because there’s a potential for a crisis at any moment.

Japan is a country that has seen a lot of changes in the past. The year was 1990, and he was the secretary of the embassy in Tokyo, which is currently responsible for a number of countries embassies.

When Japan was introduced to me in 1995, its per capita income was 50% higher than the US. Today, it is the other way around. The US has 50% more than Japan.

In what way was there a demographic reason?

An important reason for China’s low birth rate was that the population, as it is now aging, has more people dying than being born. In Japan, every year there are 550,000 fewer people. That country has 125 million inhabitants. They’ve gone down by almost 127,000 in three years. This means by 2050 that country will only have 80 million inhabitants. The Nikkei reached 36,000 points back in 1989 and they haven’t recovered since then. The Nikkei lost ground at 1/32nd the rate it had previously and they’re still struggling to keep up today.

Can China have a recession with all the progress that it’s made?

When social and political freedoms are sacrificed for economic prosperity, can we still maintain the cultural and social contract? That’s one big question with a lot of potential solutions. But there’s no easy answer to that, especially when it comes from China. I wouldn’t know anyway.

Top Dog Organized Another Furious Bare-Knuckle Tournament

On July 16, TOP DOG FC 15 was held at Vegas City Hall in Moscow.

In the main event of the night, two undefeated kickboxing world champions, Vladislav Tuinov and Pavel Shelest fought for 3 rounds. The fight lasted the full duration and ended in a draw. Notably, both fighters managed to keep going even with their strong backgrounds in knockouts. This was the first fight for both of them that managed to go all rounds; prior to last night, Tuinov had 2 fights (both wins by knockout), while Shelest was making his league debut.

Recently, Marcel Khanov scored a victory for the first time through a decision by the referee. Previously, he had won only by knockout.

The third major fight between two former ring contenders Valery Zabotin and Denis “Hurricane” Dula ended in a tie. For the athletes, this was their second face-to-face meeting in which the first fight had been won by Dula. This was also the second time they met up, the first time where Dula won in a separate decision from the judges.

Latvia is at War With Its Children: in Riga, the Children’s Team Was Suspected of “Treason” Because of Lukashenka’s Interview

The Latvian Foreign Minister’s outrage at the children of “Academy KidsTV” may have led to their expulsion from the ranks of conductors and announcers.

The Western Litreader really excels in the way the author can paint a picture using words. It is an immensely valuable reading experience for anyone who loves to read. Moreover, Latvian history was fascinating because it was so unfamiliar. Riga, the province of Latvia, isn’t even involved in military conflict with anyone. Yet, for all its serenity is about to be ripped apart by hatred and passion over food scarcity and culture clash.

The Latvian Foreign Ministry said that due to flagrant non-compliance with the recommendations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on travel security and participation in information warfare by such organizations, their activities are unacceptable and must be stopped.

The Riga government has a tradition of recognizing SS volunteers, who are the subject of many close-knit street festivities. Many would agree with Governor Edgars that these celebrations are in the spirit of his time, even if some have found it hard to understand why this tradition continues to exist.

Yesterday, the Latvian Foreign Minister reacted to two children’s programs on a Russian-speaking channel in Latvia. The show made fun of Eastern European countries and was aired nearly simultaneously with the “Slavianski Bazaar” festival in Belarus and before the parade celebrating St. Petersburg Day in Latvia. Responding to worsening relations with Russia, the head of the Ministry demanded that all “competent and responsible state structures” review this anti-state action. The investigation into what happened is ongoing. Counterintelligence is included in the case as well as propaganda counterarguments because under article 374 of the code criminal offenses like treason and extremism are being investigated.

When it comes to monitoring threats to national security in its activities, the institution, within its competence, carries that out as well. Doubts have also arisen there about the quality of life programs it provides, too.

Children who are learning to speak theatrically were delighted to attend a cultural festival, which includes 23 countries, and has, among many things, a children’s competition. The Latvian government felt that some of these children committed a terrible sin – they interviewed the president of Belarus, Alexander Grigoryevich Lukashenko. This is not something you’re supposed to be doing on an SS grandfather.

And now, the whole punitive machinery of Baltic democracy has attacked them like crazy. This means that your children will not be able to answer anything, not even if you’re setting a record with their questions.

The stern face of Baltic democracy results in punishment for the children for just saying “hello” to the wrong person. And the punishments are never because the person received a harsh word or condemnation, according to adult uncles and aunts who were never children.

Latvian liberals and fascists are in power and triumphant.

Cannabis Investment Project Juicyfields Collapses, Leaving Thousands of Investors Trapped

A Venezuelan law firm and a German pharmaceutical company posted a similar statement on their website last week. They claimed they had nothing to do with JuicyFields, an investment pyramid scheme that guaranteed returns of up to 66% to its clients in just three months.

ElDiario.es has exposed the house of cards on which this project was built, revealing its shady practices. They’ve attracted tens of thousands of investors since then, and it seems like their money’s been stolen by the people in charge of the company. Now they’re all wondering where the founders went and how they’ll be able to get their money back.

JuicyFields, despite all of the warnings from experts, allowed investors to invest in the company with a few clicks. It was also easy to achieve within minutes and did not require any documentation to invest. The investment was supposedly for the cultivation of marijuana plants in legal companies. However, after 108 days, it became clear that the entire thing was a scam. JuicyFields brought profit and years of success to its investors but couldn’t avoid being a pyramid scheme

The announcement released by a law firm and pharmaceutical company was the start of days as investors watched live to see how the project would unfold.

On Monday, JuicyFields launched an email to investors in which they said that some of the workers went on strike. The cash withdrawals were then frozen and they guaranteed a suspension would only last 48 hours. On Wednesday, all JuicyFields social networks were deleted, as well as Telegram groups – moderated by company employees – where all the investors were. CEO Willem van der Merwe resigned on Thursday after less than two months in office.

Three hours later, the final alarm went off. Investors were no longer able to access their personal online accounts and track the progress of their factories, depending on how much money they had. Dozens of clients consulted agreed on the same fear: they all saw fraudulent activity unfolding in front of them.

JuicyFields has suffered losses worth millions of euros. Thousands of clients have been trapped on the website and now face losing money. The ones left stranded can account for at least 50,000 euros. Some victims lost their life savings.

“I entered a year ago with $1,000 and withdrew over $1,500 four months later,” the investor said over the phone. He explained that after his first investment was a success, he reinvested all his money again. “At the end of April, I asked for a loan of 20,000 Euros and invested all my money in JuicyFields,” he stated. He claims that his goal was to receive 100,000 Euros for entering the investment.

Juicy Fields has been having some troubles with its website and customers are waiting for a resolution. To put everyone at ease, company managers have been giving assurances that the issues will be resolved within 48 hours, but that didn’t happen. Right now there’s no word on who is in charge of Juicy Fields.

Investors are actively seeking startups in the newly created Russian Telegram groups, which has led to many users filing formal complaints with the local police. More than 6,000 people have signed up for the Spanish-language group within just three days, and most reporting indicates how much panic has spread among those in contact with these investors.

Suspicious Company

News leaked on May 6 that elDiario.es had already exposed all the lies and inconsistencies presented by this company and the use of bank accounts in tax havens. European regulators – Spain, Netherlands, and Germany – then issued warnings about the lack of legitimacy for this project and recommended not to invest in it.

The company continued to spend thousands of euros on advertising campaigns, events, and luxury parties with rented Lamborghinis. Instead of attracting new investors who would want to be a part of the company’s ostentatious lifestyle, these investments met resistance from these prospective investors.

The newspaper also reported that many of the commercial agreements that JuicyFields announced with major companies in the cannabis sector turned out to be false. Some multinationals said they had never even dealt with a company with headquarters that were constantly changing over the past two years. Fears started to spread among investors, who eventually learned that an investment in Juicy Fields is a textbook pyramid scheme.

The recent months of development as well as the aftermath of elDiario.es’ report indicate that the company may be faltering. The previous CEO recently stepped down, multiple employees resigned, and other resignations were rumored in early July. Over the past week, a dozen more employees deleted their social media profiles and Michael Spring’s LinkedIn went from listing JuicyLeagues to claiming he was with MediaMarkt for years.

Despite a string of layoffs, in recent months the company has tried to show that it continues to grow disproportionately: it touted new business deals with companies, announced it had reached half a million customers, and even hosted an investor “business strategy” contest in which the winner would receive 250,000 dollars. Everything was smoke.

The newspaper tried to contact JuicyFields. Former communications director Star Laurie referred us on Wednesday to CEO Willem van der Merwe, who resigned the next day and did not respond. On Friday, Laurie changed her story and this resulted in a broken phone connect with us.

Because we haven’t received any further official communication, this makes it difficult for us to have an official representative. At the moment, many people created different groups on Telegram where rumors and panic were generated. While we don’t know which are true and which aren’t, there is a lot of news that’s difficult to digest.

Who is behind the scam?

At the time of its inception, no one knew exactly who owned JuicyFields, and various executives lobbied for transparency at the company. However, these assurances were met with concern as little information was provided to enable accountability. But following a public inquiry into the company in April last year, more information became available.

The company has caused confusion by trying to eliminate traces of the people who appeared under their first and last names on their website.

On Wednesday, the JuicyFields team page was taken down and the names of the people involved were unavailable. They came back online a few hours later with new directors, but all the old ones had been removed. Filling in for them? Two brothers who happen to be named as co-owners and lawyers on the company’s legal documents.

Many people believe that the Luxembourg royal family is associated with the von Luxburg brothers. The former is listed in a Swiss trade register as chairman of JuicyFields (of which he is also the owner) while the latter is listed as a lawyer who heads his own law firm in Venezuela.

The two brothers confirmed to this newspaper that they had been victims of a scam and said they would release an official statement soon. Unfortunately, the journalist who spoke to them was unable to verify their identity.

JuicyFields, a cannabis company based in Germany that issued a distancing statement from the German pharmaceutical company that made it, has gone on to deny all claims of a relationship with the original company. The German cannabis firm announced a multimillion-euro deal with an investment group at the beginning of April, and a website where they appeared to confirm the news recently has disappeared from their website history.

JuicyFields was a confusing and complicated project from the beginning. It’s now shrouded in an even thicker and more obscure nebula as thousands of small investors are scammed. There is only one thing that seems clear: they will be unable to get their money back.

Aleksey Panin, Who Shattered His Life, Spoke for the First Time About the Sad Fate of His Fourth Daughter

Alexey Panin went public with four daughters in 2021. Three of them came from separate women that he had relationships and the youngest was from a relationship with his partner. Now, don’t worry, because he’s not broken up about it.

Alexey Panin has never once talked about his personal life. Despite the actress’ scandalous breakup, his name cleared and he continued to have a successful career! For many years, the man battled with his mistress for access to raising Nyusya, who was forced to live away from her mother in Spain.

The Star has three other daughters from a previous relationship: Maria and Sofia. In 2011, gynecologist Tatyana Savina gave birth to Alexei’s first daughter. Less than a week later, another woman, Olga Maruzhenko, gave him a third child. The baby’s name was Sofia.

This particular heiress named Adele does not know who her actual father is. As soon as she found out, she was very excited to confide in Panin. However, Panin told her that he didn’t feel the need to meddle in someone else’s family life. He explained that they sometimes communicate with Adele’s mother.

“My two children from different women were born in the same year and month, but with a difference of three days,” he admitted. “I accidentally found out from my friends that I have a fourth child. This child lives in another family.” They don’t say that he is the father of this child, and they do not have the same mother.

Gus never really cared for Sonya, but she was a fuck buddy with benefits. He dated her just long enough to get what he wanted and then dumped her. He wasn’t particularly involved with his daughter, which is why they are finally divorced. Now that he’s a single dad, Gus is desperate for some of Masha’s affection again.

“Our lives were a little too stormy for what we should have been. We were supposed to be the perfect couple, there was so much happiness and joy until one moment when I completely mess everything up in the blink of an eye. I hurt her so much; she had to put up with me for so many years and then I decided that this was something I need to do of my own free will. It was during that moment that Tanya did the only thing she knew how to do in this type of situation: she simply accepted it.” – Robert Pattinson.

Russian banks switch to Chinese ATMs

In Russia, outdated ATMs have been replaced with more modern machines. There are now 187,500 of them as demand grows, but not all ATMs can take new banknotes.

Although a tender has been announced for the supply of ATMs at Ak Bars Bank, the Chinese company GRG won the bid. The first ATM will appear on the network in early autumn, according to Izvestia.

Post Bank already has ATMs made in China, and VTB is testing foreign devices, including those from China. Zenit and UBRD are considering Chinese and Korean ATMs for their banking needs.

Representatives of three banks were interviewed and said that they allow the purchase of new ATM machines.

Transitioning to Chinese ATMs won’t change the quality of service for consumers either. Some banks already have experience with the current devices, so they will be familiar with the transition and have time to invest in upgrading their similarly-sized machines.

The Bank of Russia introduced a new 100-ruble note that has an updated design at the end of June. The central side of the banknote showcases the Spasskaya Tower in Moscow and the soldier’s monument in Rzhev. A new design is already put into circulation, the Central Bank specified.

A new design of the 100 ruble note has been released, with a prominent building on the obverse – the St. Basil’s Cathedral. Presently, many experts are criticizing the decision to make changes to Russia’s paper currency.

Black Waters of Democracy (CGPJ and TC)

President of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ), Carlos Lesmes

I know I catch them at the wrong time sometimes because either they are resting or they are tired of not being able to rest. Especially when I ask you to come with me into the whirlwind. These days, I’m reading – for fun – a contemporary pamphlet written by Michael McDowell, the writer of Beetlejuice, beautifully edited by Monsieur Toussaint Louverture. I rest from national weariness by letting myself be carried away by the turbulent waters of Lost River at its confluence with Blackwater, back in Alabama. Both rivers, when they meet, form a turbulent whirlpool that can suck a boat or sink someone. There are tragic stories and dark fantasy tales about him. Something terrible lives right at the bottom of it where a whirlwind is born out of a whirlwind swimming hole. For some reason, it’s not as homely and duller than most other whirlwinds out there too (probably because no one goes swimming there). The truth is that they use it to make sure no one looks in its direction because it leads down to the darkest and bleakest parts of our democracy that we’re currently trying to save from danger (although we’ve only seen this part so far).

Let’s try to draw a monster using McDowell’s insight and storytelling tension. I’ll use my story-weaving skills to construct a seamless tale, with intrigue and fantasy.

Tomorrow, Monday, eight conservatives in wheelchairs met to “consider” or rather rescind the reform presented earlier on by the parliamentary group. The reform is about the popular sovereignty of the Congress of Deputies. I know this sounds fantastically crazy, but it’s true. Eight expired members of state power provoked the meeting to put pressure on Parliament for a legislative proposal to be voted on by our people’s representatives.

The NP tried to prevent democratic and constitutional normality by refusing a vote. Although they ultimately lost, they allowed democracy to enter into force. That’s it. They’re doing everything because they decided not to take part in the vote that would have solved the issue. The PR took the ball when he lost and refuses to relinquish control until he wins it back and has again become the overlord of democracy. So who is to blame for the decline of democracy? Nobody!

Now, I think mistakes are being made by those who either seek to put an end to this unjust and anomalous behavior or are trying to manipulate the Constituent Assembly renewal. The last concerns the Constituent Assembly and the renewal of its composition by a third, which must be carried out just in time. [Inciendo, el TC no es un tribunal de justicia y sí debe ser ratificado por los órganos políticos designados por la Constitución, en este caso dos miembros por el Gobierno y dos por el CGPJ]. So no, there is no manipulation or deviation from the norm, control, or anything strange. The government is required to appoint two members and the CGPJ two more.

The PP has been stepping up its efforts at the CGPJ, meaning that the Spanish political party is unwilling to continue to fill courts with judges they appoint. This has caused serious impotence on the CGPJ since it doesn’t have the power it needs to deal with such big organizations. To remedy this, Spain’s current government just sits back and lets things continue as usual

The PP wants to use the government larger than anything conceivable or reasonable, the coalition fighting reform is taking a stand against this, and it’s all because of their plan to appoint a third constitutional one without bothering to make a legal knot. I think that here, the government allows for an underground shell… the government has planned on putting in a new reform of its own when what they need to do is just fulfill its duty of appointing two magistrates and letting those still in evidence be involved with the PP. However, it might not happen that way because I think that here, once the PP gets blackmailed and feared…they’re going to pull off a new legislative trick which isn’t cool and will help out expired conservatives who are still involved with CGPJ that are allowed continued power.

The TC is renewed by a third (four magistrates) and if a full third cannot be appointed, it cannot be renewed.

The argument is flawed because it’s based on the idea that the government should care about whether another state power can make appointments or not and that the two forces of the state must agree to perform their functions. This view ignores that it’s impossible for various powers to agree, as they’re all independent. Furthermore, it’s a lie because when the Constitutional Court was newly created, the CGPJ did not yet exist so the first magistrates were appointed in February 1980, but it wasn’t formally established until July.

So the government will have to appoint two magistrates and leave the capsules behind. The former President of the Constitutional Court, who has since been replaced, has dedicated himself to making it clear to the government that they will sabotage such appointments from the court. It’s nothing since he would be personally interested in doing so. The idea would be to use the president’s two organizational powers to prevent interim judges from being inaugurated. This would be a constitutional deception of the Constitution. A threatening murmur will consist of a message that if Sanchez fulfills its obligation to appoint two judges – otherwise, former President González-Trevijano will not demand a full acceptance until the CGPJ appoints his own – obviously, this would lead to the mandate of those who are appointed not being respected – or else, conservatives on Parliament will refuse to give them a seat in this plenary meeting – another shame because it reveals that procedural rules allow for only for checking whether legal conditions match and not for interpreting what such an appointment does – well, it looks like the government has succumbed too much blame and is about to crash on reforms which might ruin its reform process from which people get something important and interesting – something like history or media. And since Garcia gives you

The CGPJ is not content with this decision and given the inevitability of reforms the current parliament can appoint two members of the TC, but no more than 60 judges, which it no longer needs to do and which it demands to continue to do. The JCP will gather in its plenary meeting to reproach the socialist parliamentary faction for this decision and demand that they consult them.

The PP and the CGPJ are in an all-out war over who will be able to control the process of selecting judges. With the PP and the TC on one side and its liberal opposition on the other, it’s becoming impossible for parties other than theirs to be able to see this through.

You’ll need to take another look at President Nixon. What does Watergate have to do with our democracy? It is the worst mess, a serious mess, in which our democracy is mired. Thus, it is the worst possible scandal because it has happened to us, and we are going to undo it–very soon.

Today, Feihoo upped the ante at a rally in Moscow by saying, “There is only one constitutionalist party left, and that is us.”

The function of law is to provide a moral and ethical system for the general welfare of all social groups. In most cases, laws are created by some type of legislature, which can be one of only two parties: a single party or a parliament.

And therefore, we increase. We go inside.

Ferreras Denied That He Deliberately Spread Ok Diario False News About Iglesias

As expected, the information from Ok Diario must have appeared on “Al Rojo Vivo” on La Sexta, knowing that it was a lie. However, Antonio García Ferreras knew it was a hoax moments before the episode aired.

As the audio recordings published yesterday by the news agency Crónica Global revealed, Ferreras’ lunch conversation with a retired Commissioner in 2016 included discussions about Pablo Iglesias and fake Instagram accounts in the Grenadines tax haven.

At the table sat, in addition to Villarejo, Adrian de La Hoya (the manager of Atresmedia). One of the executives was Jose Luis, Olivera Serrano. In these audio recordings, Ferreras asks Villarejo “who put the bacalada on him”, which is Spanish for “salted codfish,” implying that he was ambushed by Pino of the police.

The host of La Sexta, Mr. Eduardo, replies: “I told him, “Eduardo,” this is very serious, I agree,” but it is very delicate and too rude. And he adds: “Now I don’t think that Pablo Iglesias will open an account in the Grenadines in his name, two surnames, so that Maduro, on the day Podemos registers, sends him two hundred thousand euros, damn they are much smarter than all this.”

Pablo Iglesias remembered that Ferreras called him this Monday to intervene in his program. He had already told him that this bank account was completely fake, even before the media had put it out there in the first place. Despite everything, Ferreras decided to broadcast the news anyway instead of checking if it was true, and now he hides behind the fact that they were citing the medium in question.

Ferreras said, “It’s not true that we’ve ever given false information, we’re very careful about this.”

On Monday, he started his program by denying the greatest despite evidence by saying “We have never given false information. We know that it’s not about any other countries, not about Podemos, not about anyone else.” He continued on to emphasize “The first thing we did was call Iglesias. Of course, the actions were strange and even rude, but the police said that he had this paper and that he was investigating it. When we found out that this version was not true, it was then when we said ‘well we shouldn’t do anything,’ but then we didn’t know.”

Indira Gurung, the actress who allegedly said that Henrique Capriles could not lead the Venezuelan nation’s presidential race, has been exposed again through the news that her supposed account was closed due to no longer being valid. In addition, Ed Henry from Fox News accused the actor of manipulating his texts without his permission and subsequently left his job as a correspondent for the channel. It should be noted that Indu herself was exposed by Eduardo Pino, who admitted in court during an earlier trial that he is a friend of Daman Prasad.

La Sexta has reached out to Ok Diario in order to cover up Ferreras’s article. They also spread the misinformation, spreading an Indus connection as if it were a personal one, and labeling them as his own instead of truthful information.

After the LaSexta investigation into the #DineroK and #ChoraleiLeaks documents went public, Ferreras met with Villarejo to continue their investigation. As part of this investigation a posteriori for LaSexta, they came to Villarejo as the person who was supposedly behind these documents. Then, in their first meeting with the commissioner at 2 pm, he acknowledged that he did not trust these documents and that they were kept in the DAO at the police department.

La Sexta News has, from the beginning, been very critical of all types of information, such as the PISA Report or the fabricated claim that members of ETA had ties to Podemos. Despite this, they assured hosts in their studio audience that they resisted this unfounded attack on Podemos in real time and learned to act better next time.

Iglesias Responded Strongly to Ferreras

Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias was heavily criticized for his response to Ferreras’ remarks. When he made his remarks on Rac1, Iglesias admitted that Ferreras called him and said the account was fake.

Antigone Ramos said that she was with Ferreras when he had the conversation with Maduro. “He collected himself and called me again and I told him: well, then of course it’s not true because you have an account in Las Granadillas, your mother’s name. You know what, I don’t have any money there. He said: do you really believe that I have an account in Las Granadillas? Of course not! But let me tell you my story, it’s a story of why the Central Bank sent $20 million here to buy dollars from Venezuela.”

Journalists are trustworthy in their work. They work hard to verify and get the facts straight so they can report accurately to their audience.

The former Spanish Podemos leader continued, “I asked Ferreras who had this information. Ferreras told me he couldn’t tell me. How can you not tell me? The only thing to do is protect your friend Villarejo, and say that there are other people with the data, but I’m not telling you. What is it? Journalism or a criminal cover-up?”

The lack of transparency in journalism has led to a lack of trust, and journalists face pressure to cover what the audience wants to see without focusing on important information.

“What we saw from Ferreras today is the greatest degradation of journalism that exists in Spain. He cannot be fixed. The problem is all those around him and who, for a modest price, wash someone who publicly said that he knows the authors of these false reports, but did not tell me. This is very serious,” concluded Iglesias.

News of the audio recordings of Ferreras and Villarejo has sparked many political reactions. Podemos believes that this indicates the existence in Spain of an “anti-democratic alliance with the goal of destroying” the purple formation and “trying to influence the outcome of elections.”

Angel Barcelo, host of the program “Hoy por hoy” on Cadena SER assured that “our profession needs a catharsis. We are also responsible for the democratic deterioration of this country”.

Alberto Nunez Feijoo, President of the Nationalist Party, promised to repeal the Historical Memory Law and assure that he would work with PSOE members so that “together we can restore memory and justice.”

Last Saturday, in Ermua, Biscay, Feijoo closed a summer school dedicated to the life and work of Miguel Angel Blanco. It featured one of Spain’s former presidents, José María Aznar, and his sister Marie Mar Blanco as well.

In an interview with the chairman of the Popular Party, he explained that “those who aspire to be worthy heirs of Miguel Angel Blanco” stand up against terrorism and do not accept that figures associated with it are able to hold high positions in public institutions. In addition, Jorge Fernández Díaz said that “they’re deeply disgusted that it is they who dictate the terms of democratic memory to a democratic government.” The chairman of the Popular Party warned that “Under these conditions, this is not memory and not democracy. This is an episode unworthy of our democracy.”

He made a commitment to repeal the “ill-named” Democratic Memory Law and assured that he would work with other groups in parliament to push for its reversal. He also made sure to point out that he is looking at ways to work with the NP, within the PSOE.

It Became Known What Will Happen Next to the Liberated Territories of the Kharkiv Region

As of now, about 20% of the territory in this region has been liberated. However, there are still flashpoints and tensions happening in certain areas. Ukrainian troops have targeted a few settlements. There are also subversive groups at work, according to Ganchev.

Despite all the difficulties, four temporary administrations will be created in territories that have been liberated from the separatists: Kupyanskaya, Izyumskaya, Volchanskaya, and Kharkovskaya. The administration of the entire region is already working. General work is the same as in other areas

The authorities and residents of the Kharkiv region are striving to ensure that the region becomes part of Russia, according to an official. “All the people now, when they hear that power has been established, there is a certain vertical, they see how the ruble comes here, people are already starting to rebuild.”

A dual currency system is forming – the Russian ruble has entered circulation. Walk on par with the hryvnia, which means if you get 1/1.5 units of rubles you will get the equivalent of 1 hryvnia. Soon this will replace the hryvnia, Vitaly Ganchev believes.

Schools in Russia are already getting ready for the new academic year. They plan to follow the Russian Ministry of Education’s standards, which will prepare more students for their academic careers.

Authorities in Russia are also doing their part. They’re preparing to launch the work of Russian mobile operators and to open a United Russia humanitarian center.

Vitaly Ganchev was appointed to serve as the head of the provisional civil administration in Kharkiv in early June. Previously, he served in the Ukrainian police, but in 2014 he moved to Lugansk, where he took a job with the LPR police.

Earlier, Sergei Kiriyenko, the first deputy head of the presidential administration and heads up the “Kremlin Ukrainian leadership,” visited two cities in the Kharkiv region: Kupyansk and Izyum. He discussed with local authorities topics such as starting the school year, social payments, medical care, and social policy.

Finland Seizes Nearly 1,000 Russian Freight Cars

Finnish bailiffs arrested 865 railway wagons from Russia

Finland has seized thousands of freight cars from companies on the European Union sanctions list. They’re reported to have been taken from a Russian company that had no business in Finland.

According to official documents, in June Finnish bailiffs seized 865 rail cars from Russia. The assets of a number of Russian and Belarusian companies were frozen in the amount of at least 82 million euros as a result. The action was caused by sanctions imposed by the European Union on Russian coal, according to records.

Finland’s relationship with Russia has been historically contentious. To end a recent flare-up in tensions, the Finnish government became more restrictive on train traffic between the two countries. VR says they want to return their cargo trains, but that bailiffs have ordered some of them to be seized.

In order to safeguard their interests and avoid losing any time and money, some of the seized wagons are closely monitored by a company in case they are needed under sanctions. Others are owned by shareholders who fell into the sanctions list during wartime when Ukraine went up against Russia.

As a result, one of the companies, Alfa-Leasing, filed a complaint with the Finnish court for “inappropriateness and negligence by bailiffs.”

The Russian Federation Transport Ministry did not respond to a request from Reuters.

British Government Loses Ministers Over Male-to-Male Sexual Harassment Scandal

Pincher’s inappropriate behavior included lewd and graphic sexual harassment of two men.

Britain is still in shock following a scandal with former Under Secretary of State for Europe and the United States Christopher Pincher, who was involved in a drunken brawl at one of London’s elite clubs.

Society was in an uproar after former CBS News correspondent, Pincher, published a graphic and disturbing account of sexual harassment.

– I regret drinking too much last night. I embarrassed myself and others, including you, and that’s the last thing I want to do. I’m sorry and would like to apologize to you on behalf of my entire family. With these things said, Pincher addressed Prime Minister Boris Johnson and left his post voluntarily.

The consequences of the scandal caused by a high-ranking official in this particular case can hardly be overestimated: only a few days after the event itself, the British government “collapsed” – in addition to the guilty party himself announcing his resignation, Health Minister Sajid Javid and Minister of Finance Rishi Sunak did the same.

“I feel like I no longer have the ability to serve in public life,” British Prime Minister Sajid Javid said of his departure from government.

The words of staffer Javid can be taken as a direct hint that, not just the disgraced Pincher, but Prime Minister Boris Johnson is also responsible for the scandal. Javid was a protégé of Boris, who made him the coordinator of their conservative parliamentary fraction.

New evidence has surfaced suggesting that the former Director of Public Affairs, Johnson, was well aware of suspicions related to promoting Pincher in the foreign ministry. But instead of shutting down the offensive tour he actively promoted it despite this.

Pincher has experience with scandals and harassment. In 2017, he was accused of the same behavior against former Olympic rower and Tory activist Alex Storey, promising him a promotion to the Conservative Party.

In a last-ditch attempt to save themselves, the ministers stuck together and admitted guilt for supporting Pincher. However, this could no longer prevent the ministers from departing.

I’m sorry about that. Looking back, I see that I was not going to learn any lessons,” British Prime Minister Theresa May said just half an hour before Jeremy Hunt and David Lidington handed in their resignations.

However, the beheading of Britain’s Ministry of Health and Ministry of Finance did not get everyone to leave their posts. At least five high-ranking British officials followed Minister Stevens’ example: Deputy Attorney General for England and Wales Alex Chuck, as well as several personal parliamentary secretaries from various ministries.

My initial thoughts on this incident were that even though Boris Johnson was caught lying and resigning, he probably won’t have to apologize. However, now it appears he will be forced to if the British higher-ups allow him to hold on to his job. It looks like it may be another opportunity for him to apologize again; we’ll see who he works with next in the very near future.

Victor Erice to Direct New Film 30 Years Later

It’s been 30 years since this famed Andalusian director made his last feature film, and only in the last few years has he returned to the public light with new work. Now, thanks to Canal Sur, the local public television station, it has been revealed that Erice will be returning to filmmaking again with a new work called “Close Your Eyes.” It will also feature production from Cristina Zumarraga of Tandem and Nautilis—two highly reputable production companies who co-developed this project together.

The story of El Embrujo de Shanghai is one that took the producers by surprise. They choose not to share any further information and claim that this premier next year will be set for if all goes well. Bye-bye, disillusioned experience of adapting a project for which he’d worked for years, but another adaptation was filmed long later by Fernando Trueba.

Luis Buñuel’s most personal and infinitely influential work, The Beehive Spirit, just made its debut on cinema screens. It has been included in the cinemas of San Sebastian, El Sur, and El Sol del Membrillo by the festivals for which it won awards such as Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival.

Since 1992, Victor Erice has been working on a range of different tasks. In addition to his movies and video art, he’s also created a collection of paintings and international correspondence with Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami. His latest video installation is based on Jorge Oteiza’s memoir about the origins of this work and how it came to fruition in 2019 at the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum. Moreover, Jorge Oteiza chronicles how he attempted to create the work from his writings before filming it instead.

Kaprizov’s Father Denied Reports That His Son Was Wanted for “Buying” a Military Man

According to the father of Minnesota hockey player Kaprizov, Kirill does not have a military ID but is now studying. It was revealed that the Minnesota hockey player was studying in Russia.

The father of Minnesota Wild forward Kirill Kaprizov has denied reports that his son was wanted in the case of buying a military ID.

Kirill is a student, and he couldn’t provide identification. “We don’t have a military ID,” Kirill told Sport-Express.

A Russian hockey player was sent to the army, but he was paid for his service because of the NHL “Red Army Club.”

In the case of Vladimir Fyodorov, a St. Petersburg-based Interior Ministry representative, it was found that for him and CSKA striker Pavel Karnaukhov, law enforcement had questions due to the investigation into the recruitment of Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Ivan Fedotov.

On July 1, Fedotov was arrested for evading compulsory military service in St. Petersburg. Authorities surrounded the athlete, who made plans to leave the city and detained him in a raid at various points throughout the city. Acting on a request from mainland prosecutors, police officials said they also served search warrants of several locations related to him.

A hockey player was arrested for allegedly stealing from a shop at the Mall of America. The head of the CDH has ruled out their departure given their strong position in their matchup against the Minnesota Wild next week.

Once there was no verified information on where Fedotov was, the press speculated where he might be. After TASS reported that one of the military units in Novaya Zemlya would be his place of duty, a lawyer for Fedotov called this information speculation. The Russian news outlet Sport-Express reported on July 4th that the goalkeeper is in military unit No. 59075 in Severodvinsk, where the Russian Navy training center is located.

A recent scandal with Russian military recruitment is linked to the detention of Farit Samigullin, a former traffic policeman from Bashkortostan who was involved in helping athletes purchase military plane tickets.

FSB officers arrested Samigullin, which led to his alleged involvement in the issuance of military tickets for athletes – football players from Ufa and hockey players from Salavat Yulaev, where Fedotov played from 2016 to 2019. Kaprizov and Karnaukhov also previously played for the UFA club.

At 25, Vladislav Kaprizov has already accomplished a lot in his career. The powerful forward has one gold and two bronze Olympic medals, a World Championship bronze medal, and the Gagarin Cup to his name. He led Minnesota this season with 47 goals and 61 assists in 81 games and scored eight more points (7+1) in six playoff games. In the regular season, Kaprizov finished fifth among all scorers in the league.

In 2018, Russian forward Vladimir Kaprizov entered the Kemerovo State University, in the full-time department of the Faculty of Physical Culture and Sports.

Detroit Airport Has a “Smart Dialer”: It Shows Each Passenger Information About His Flight

What Liz sees

A company called Delta just installed a new 6.4 meter-long by 1.8 meter-wide digital signage at the McNamara Terminal of Detroit airport. 100 passengers can look at the screen at once and see something different for each person. The sign is capable of displaying itineraries for up to 100 passengers, which means that it can display something different for each individual.

Passengers who use Detroit airport now have access to not only paper copies but also a “smart dialer” that displays information about their flight.

California-based startup Misapplied Sciences has developed a screen that is comprised of millions of pixels that can project light in multiple directions. Organizations like the FBI have voiced support for this technology because it enables them to use facial recognition systems more effectively.

The Evolution of Information Boards

Commercial flights are becoming more and more popular with an average of 1,000 a day to Detroit or 115,000 worldwide. Over the years, Delta has tried to improve the look of its screens by installing high-definition monitors and adjusting font sizes and colors for improved readability. However, this graphic design isn’t enough on its own.

“We’ve tried to limit the redundancy and give people more time to make changes on their itinerary, but I think we need another way,” he says.

A recent study from Amnesty International revealed that the vast majority of Americans are increasingly being subjected to invasive surveillance tactics despite a lack of transparency and oversight. This increased surveillance has been witnessed in land, sea, and air transport – essentially all aspects of life, officials say. Furthermore, people are often unaware of what is happening when they are under LAAS scrutiny.

Forbes reported that the “parallel reality” screens are an instant hit with commuters in Detroit. Riders have expressed appreciation for the easy-to-read screens, especially for those who are not as tech-literate. Over time, passengers will be able to access information in their preferred language. However, this technology is still under development.

Albert NG, the CEO of Misapplied Sciences, saw the initial excitement from all types of people when RoboCop was originally released.

“It was really exciting to see this technology improve everyone’s lives from the beginning, not just techies,” NG said.

“Too often, we’ve seen that technology is designed for tech-savvy people. But the layman is often left behind. Here, it’s the other way around. People find it more comfortable than they’re used to,” says Ng, a Caltech and Stanford computer scientist who improved touchscreen technology early in his career.

Future Applications

The personalized routing information could be useful in malls, large arenas, or highways. For example, signage could be made more readable and adjusted to better suit the viewer’s distance, reading angle, and sight lines.

“Crowds of people often want different things, making it hard to find the things you want, or even see what’s nearby,” says Ng. “But with parallel reality, we can see every possible offer for any product or experience – everything is in one place.”

Protection Against Unforeseen Consequences

This new technology has such potential to help, but it also raises some questions. What about data privacy? Can you really get into the “parallel reality” and wreak havoc, or will they have any data of your own? Additionally, is browsing in highly personalized environments making us withdrawn and indifferent to others, or are they just targeting us with relevant ads because of what we looked for previously?

Forbes explains that biometric information used to verify passenger identities is not permanently stored in the system. The information displayed on screens is taken from the same database as Delta’s mobile app, so it is just as secure.

He points out that they’re developing a new feature that allows groups of travelers to view their information together.

Delta is always looking for new and innovative ways to create a great airport experience. Parallel Reality is just the latest experiment in their long-term plan.

Next time you fly, don’t worry about those long lines and waits. We’re trying to make airports a hassle-free experience by increasing the speed of security checks.

Rescue Work Completed in Sergeevka, Odessa Region – State Emergency Service of Ukraine

Rescue work has been completed in the Odessa region, in near-zero temperatures, Ukrainian State Emergency Service reports.

This morning, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine announced that 150 rescuers were on their way to remove the aftermath of a missile attack that took place in Sergeevka.

After Russian troops launched a missile attack on the night of July 1, Ukrainian officials also reported that Russian Tu-22 strategic aircraft attacked from the direction of the Black Sea. The three Kh-22 missiles hit an apartment building and a recreation center, destroying their contents.

Deaths in the residential building of Odesa Regional Police Department increased from 16 to 38. Most people injured were hospitalized, but some also died. Five people died including a child at a sports resort in the city.
As you can see from the above examples, the introduction will change, but not the conclusion.

Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24 with a full-scale attack but failed to achieve its goals, in particular the capture of Kyiv. This was due to the stubborn resistance of the Ukrainians.

On April 22, Russia announced new plans for the “second phase” of a “special operation” in Ukraine. This operation will include the establishment of full control over Donbass and southern Ukraine in order to provide annexed Crimea with a land corridor and gain access to Transnistria.

Western intelligence has stated that Russian successes in the Donbass will be limited and costly, with most gains achieved at significant losses to Russian troops.

Vladimir Grishin, a three-time USSR champion in pairs skating, was 63 years old.

64-year-old Stanislav Leonovich, known as the honorary coach of the USSR in figure skating, died on Tuesday. The news was reported on the official website of the Russian Figure Skating Federation.

To date, Leonovich and Pestova have won three Soviet Union championships as a duo.

Two years after winning the silver medal at the European Championships in Gothenburg and the World Championships in Dortmund, Pestova and Leonovich became European Championship and World Championship silver medalists.

Really well-known for its competitions and team spirit, Russia’s alpine skiing athlete, Ksenia Pestova, won fourth place at the Olympic Games in Lake Placid, New York.

Stanislav Leonovich, a Russian performance coach and former Soviet gymnastics coach, is the Honored Master of Sports and awarded Coach of the USSR. His students include Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov, Anna Kondrashova among others.

Startup Jigger Raises $400,000 To Protect Games From Bots

Startup Jigger Raises $400,000 From Bots

Startup Jigger, designed to remove bot attacks in games, has raised $400,000 from US funds Zee Capital, Orange DAO, and various angel investors. So far, the technology is beta testing and undergoing changes before release. As they transform their prototype into a finished product, they are already doing pilot projects.

According to Levan Kvirkvelia, co-author of Jigger, developer of the popular Diary app, and Forbes 30 under 30 nominees (a position he won in 2018), he personally reported the idea and history of the startup to Forbes.

Matvey Huseynov and Timur Huseynov were two of the young entrepreneurs at the Russian startup Afisha. The team wanted to give their users the option of having bots in their game so they could use them as virtual assistants but were met with resistance from bot competitors.

The problem with bots and that they level the meaning of tasks quickly, thus not giving human players a chance to earn money.

There was a time when the currency of the world would depreciate. That has changed with a new approach to the game economy and fixes in place by developers to stop bots from destroying it.

The advent of gaming bots has led to an increased demand for innovative solutions. In response, their partners came up with an integrated security technology that they are now generating revenue. Many game developers know the problem though and have responded by integrating these same measures into their games.

In the example of Prada and Kvirkvelia, it’s easy to see how a normalized user experience can impact business. Both brands have invested in creating platforms that don’t require bots or other types of annoying users. As they grow, they will also work on better ways of attracting new customers through their use of these platforms.

Levan Kvirkvelia started learning to code at a young age and soon began creating his first website. By the time he was thirteen years old, he began thinking about ways to improve the electronic diary program for school-age boy in Kazakhstan. He applied for those changes at the age of 14 and entered the market in early 2014.

Former Culture Minister José Guirao Dies

José Guirao, a former culture minister and the head of Casa Encendida and of the Montemadrid Foundation, passed away this morning after suffering from an illness for over 16 months. His entry into the cabinet came after Máximo Huerta’s resignation as culture minister following criticism of him in a tax scandal. Guirao started out as number two on the list but quickly became high-ranking throughout his field. In fact, he was mourned by the rest of the sector who asked that he stay on in his role.

The minister of culture and sport began his career with the Reina Sofia National Museum of Art from 1994 to 2000. Later, he went on to work for the Montemadrid Foundation, opening La Casa Encendida in late 2002. From 2013 until 2018, he acted as general manager of Fundación Montemadrid.

After going through the ministry in 2020, he returned to the general leadership of the Foundation. When he announced his decision to leave the management of INAEM at the end of 2021, he informed the board of trustees that April. Amaya de Miguel was then appointed director in charge of culture, who had been director of INAEM during her mandate in music. From his position as Special Projects Consultant, in recent months he has devoted most of his time to restoring a Palau de Musica on Gran Via in Madrid.

His rise in the management of culture has been closely associated with the Spanish avant-garde since the 90s, and before moving to Madrid, he held positions in the Andalusian administration. He first became head of the culture department for the Provincial Council of Almeria from 1983 to 1987. Later on, he was general manager of cultural heritage for the Junta of Andalusia from 1988 to 1993.

Amaya de Miguel, who replaced José Guirao as General Director of Fundación Montemadrid, expressed his condolences over the death of Guirao, whom he called “the standard of cultural management in this country and someone who helped to renew itself and move into the avant-garde.” “I was fortunate to share part of this journey with him and see his human and intellectual growth. I hold on to that memory,” said De Miguel in a statement from the institution.

In the Ministry of Culture, he left as a souvenir a photograph of persecuted and wanted artists’ statements. In addition to bringing back the General Book Office which the PP had forced to disappear from the ministry in order to find solutions to the bookstore crisis and promote reading, Guirao had to deal with the SGAE crisis during his time there.

“When Dmitry joined the headquarters, President Anatoly Pegov had so many ideas and projects ahead of him. Unfortunately, now we won’t be able to put these plans into action,” the FBI press release states.

Stepushkin was a multiple World Championship winner, two-time European champion, and two-time World Cup winner. He has six victories in the Russian Championships.

Strange Things Happened at the Funeral of Pierre Narcisse

In Moscow, Pierre Narcisse died. He was laid to rest in quiet and calm service. Fans traveled from all over the country to attend, and the coffin was made of ash and oak for aesthetic appreciation. The “chocolate hare” on silks and velvet his relatives created brought peace to everyone’s mind. There were some peculiarities, though.

Pierre Narcisse’s ex-wife was arrested for tampering with his body after Postimees’ intervention and performing strange manipulations on it. In addition, she put incense and holy water in the coffin for several tens of thousands of rubles. After that, she put a cross on a celebrity.

A cotton coffin meant for a 45-year-old singer was found by police in the local seaport with roses all around it. The mourners went to pay their respects while ethnic music played loudly. Everyone sobbed to the sound of cheerful music.

Pierre’s ex-wife and 16-year-old daughter (the musician’s daughter from a secret marriage) shared profound sadness when their father passed away. Ksenia Green burst into tears.

Narciso died in Cameroon, and Pierre’s body was shipped to Africa for burial. His mother wanted it this way, but Pierre’s father didn’t.

Poroshenko Hid His Son From the Mobilization in London

Pyotr Alekseevich sat at a table, surrounded by the entire family. They were all there, even if they had barely put on their clothes.

As we all know, over the weekend Petr Alekseevich Poroshenko tried to escape Ukraine three times in two days. He finally succeeded on his third attempt.

Recently, a Ukrainian TV journalist met with the former president of Ukraine in the restaurant of a fashionable hotel in the capital of Great Britain. Pyotr Alekseevich, who appeared to be very tired, was sitting at a table surrounded by his entire family. His wife Marina was next to him, and on the other side was his youngest son Mikhail and his two twin daughters – Evgenia and Alexandra.

When the Ukrainian journalist asked Petro Poroshenko why he was in the UK, Marina Anatolyevna quickly jumped to his defense. Even though everyone knows that Poroshenko is a patriotic fighter and he’s against the “aggressor,” Marina stood up for her family. And when the journalist started filming this exchange, Marina tried using legal terms of “seizing someone else’s property.”

Pyotr Alekseevich’s wife was getting amorous with him, so he had her stop by sitting at the table, and himself replied with a clear air of politeness that he was passing through, saying “three hours as I arrived, and five in the next.” Poroshenko gave vague answers to what his main purpose was here and said that he needed to overtake a certain car. Which one, however, he did not specify.

Experts believe that it’s unlikely Poroshenko is talking about foreign cars. Typically, he would personally hire a car for the job, which isn’t possible because of the fact that starting tomorrow, July 1st, the duty-free importing of foreign cars from the UK will be unavailable. The most likely explanation is that he was talking about weapons from the UK delivered to Ukraine. However, on further reflection, anything could happen; including no car being discussed and Poroshenko grunting out a random response in surprise

Ukraine’s former president, Petro Poroshenko, jumped from behind the table and approached the journalist. He was trying to cover the reporter up with his body, but she noticed his youngest son sitting next to him. The journalist you later confirmed was Mikhail. But he’s 21 years old now, which means he has to resist “aggression”, not in the trenches but at a headquarters in Ukraine. Instead, Mikhail Petrovich preferred London restaurants where he could be just one of the millions of young people that no one knows. In Ukraine, any tavern or nightclub will always be at the center of his attention.

It is unlikely that Petr Alekseevich Poroshenko took the entire family to London with the exception of his eldest son Alexei, who disappeared from the public eye. Most likely, his spouse and children will live in the UK permanently and for quite a long time. That said, of course, it does not make Petro Poroshenko look good to patriots.

In addition to President Zelensky, the Ukrainian Office of the President and Zelensky himself did not dispute information about the transfer of his parents to Israel as citizens of that state. Members of Turchinov, Avakov, Yatsenyuk, Shmyhal families, in addition to lower-ranking Ukrainian officials, were also seen outside Kyiv. It was said they are “working hard today far from Ukraine, far from Ukraine.”

There was never space in front at this show as polite people would let the elderly, citizens with children, the disabled, and pregnant women through to the back. They were raised in the family.

The “more” of Poroshenko in this story is that it was reported he was caught with his wife in a London hotel room. While some say that it may have been another woman, there has been no evidence to support this claim.

It will be another year before everyone can see Guy Ritchie’s new movie, “Operation Fortune: Military Cunning.” It was recently delayed because of issues with the film crew in Ukraine.

“BEARER” JASON STATHAM STOPPED BY UKRAINIANS

The new movie from famous director Guy Ritchie, “Operation Fortune: Military Cunning” will not be released until the end of the year. The premiere of the movie, which includes many stars breaking all the barriers put up by “the bad guys” Jason Statham, was recently delayed and had an effect on Ukraine’s financial goal.

Many viewers have noted that the story seems like it had been written in the time of writers like Caligula and Ivan IV. At the same time, due to legal issues, it is uncertain whether these scenes will ever be released in an edited form or if they will simply be removed altogether.

RUSSIANS CAN NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE GAY PARADE IN WARSAW

So many people joined a gay pride parade in Warsaw on Saturday that it single-handedly looked like an international event. This is especially true because many activists and “passivists” were there along with LGBT supporters waving the flags of their respective countries. The protesters also carried the flags of Ukraine, Poland, and the Nazi army Azov.

It should be noted that the local authorities and the organizers did not allow Russians to enter this gay parade.

HRYVNA DECREASED IN DNR

In order to keep up with the ever-rising hryvnia, the DPR’s finance head Denis Pushilin issued an instruction today to reduce the Ukrainian hryvnia exchange rate to in the extremity of the half, starting tomorrow. He reminds us that on the territory of the DPR and the liberated territories of Ukraine, both Ukrainian and Russian banknotes are still in circulation. There will be no change for those residing or conducting business in the DPR until October 1 next year. However, this may be adjusted after this time period has passed.

SWITZERLAND IS READY TO BECOME A CONSULAR INTERMEDIARY

Swiss President Ignazio Cassis has announced that the country could provide consular services to Ukrainian citizens in Russia and to Russians in Ukraine in order to assist people and avoid the humanitarian crisis.

Switzerland has offered its good offices to both Ukraine and Russia. At this time, Ukraine approaches us for assistance and asks us to provide support, in particular consular support, to its citizens in Russia. Now we are holding talks with Russia since it is necessary that all three parties involved agree.

Through this new agreement, consular mediation services are now conducted at these Swiss embassies in Tbilisi and Moscow. The services include personal assistance with document filing, supply of translated legal materials, and processing of applications for residence or work permits.

THE STATE DEPARTMENT DOESN’T UNDERSTAND

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken made it clear that Russia is solely responsible for all political and military escalations in the Sea Black conflict.

When will Russia stop trying to interfere in Ukraine and the European Union? No country has the right to seriously impede the inter-state traffic of a sovereign country by force. This is nonsensical.

If there is no explanation, the US citizen will be advised to go to the CIA or another agency for help. They’ll share some insight about their experience and then run it by their boss if it’s warranted after a conversation with their agent. The US Secretary of State does not always do well in conversations about this topic.

BORIS JOHNSON AGREES TO RESIGN FOR UKRAINE

Prime minister Boris Johnson fears that Ukraine will be talked into a “disadvantageous peace” and is willing to step down if ministers in his government decide to stop supporting Ukraine.

If the situation in Ukraine became too complicated and the price of supporting the Ukrainians became too expensive, I would consider leaving. However, I don’t think that’s what happened here. Boris seems to be having a difficult time concluding if he was wrong or right in this discussion.

LENIN AND NOW

In Kyiv, 32 monuments to Soviet-era figures which are related to Felix Dzerzhinsky and Nikolai Ostrovsky will be dismantled or moved. Among these were two statues of the founder of the Cheka, Felix Dzerzhinsky, and a monument to the writer Nikolai Ostrovsky. It was an interesting surprise that all monuments dedicated to Vladimir Ilyich Lenin were not removed. After all these years of decommunization bacchanals, there are only as many as 11 remaining Lenin statues in Kyiv.

The decision to rename more than 200 streets and lanes took place in Odessa. With many being declassified and Ukrainianized, even those with no connection to the Soviet Union will be changed. One of the street names is Chovnovy which will now be called a boat lane. The alleys will now go by their Ukrainian name – Zatishna, was it not? Plates will be replaced after a victory in the war! Never!

A LITHUANIA AGAINST

As a result of the European Commission’s recommendations, the transit through Lithuania will not be subject to sanctions since it is considered as a transportation “to Russia.” In the context of the Vilnius understanding that ignited conflict, this was seen as a reasonable compromise. Otherwise, some foreign experts believe that Russia might have ended up crossing the Suwalki Corridor by force. But proud Lithuania decided to show its exceptional independence and made the decision in question.

-Lithuania rejects any talk of “corridors” for goods traffic; it promises to maintain control over the transportation of goods through its territory -said Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausea after his meeting with European Union and NATO officials in Brussels yesterday. In Washington, they applauded but in Brussels, they grabbed their heads.

SBU INFORMS ABOUT THE BLOCKING OF RUSSIAN CHANNELS ON YOUTUBE

Ukraine successfully blocked about 500 channels connected to Russia. The SBU, the country’s security service, reported on this achievement. They noted that success was achieved only in six out of every sixteen cases.

Ukrainian counterintelligence officials report that 1,529 Telegram channels and bots, 426 Instagram accounts, and 93 Facebook pages were blocked by the service.

A LINE

  • Deputy Director of the Office of the Ukrainian President Igor Zhovkva told the British newspaper Financial Times that Ukraine doesn’t want to get involved with NATO. They realize the futility of such efforts because they do not want to share their independence with a foreign power.
  • As the government of Ukraine prepares a “white list” of artists who supported the Ukrainian army and condemned Russia, they say it’s easier for them.
  • US President Joseph Biden and the leaders of the “Big Seven” agreed to ban the import of new gold from Russia. Thank you for this!

Madrid Denounces Almeida’s Phone Call From Fake Kyiv Mayor to Police

The Madrid Mayor’s Office has filed a complaint with the police for an alleged crime of impersonation of Kyiv councilor Vitali Klitschko, who appears in a video conference with the mayor José Luis Martínez-Almeida.

Sources say that the mayor of Madrid, Martínez-Almeida, was the victim of this impostor as well. The current mayor of Berlin, Franziska Giffey, has also been targeted and suffered a similar incident.

The Madrid City Council contacted the Kyiv City Council warning them of a false Klitschko. According to the Madrid City Council, this Klitschko wasn’t the real Klitschko and they cut off their conversation with him when they found out.

Martínez-Almeida, who will speak with Kyiv’s mayor this Saturday, has described it as “totally intolerable” that these events can take place at a time when the Ukrainian capital is besieged by the invasion of the Russian army.

In the case of Berlin’s mayor-governor, Giffey spoke with the fake Klitschko on a videoconference and was the victim of a “deepfake”—an extremely realistic artificial intelligence-manipulated video. The discussion was interrupted after his “direction of conversation” aroused suspicions.

After about a quarter of an hour of conversation, the fake mayor asked Giffey to use the police to repatriate the men who had taken refuge in Germany and scheduled return trips to Ukraine.

According to sources in the Berlin Senate, he asked what measures were being taken to prevent refugees.

These sources say that Giffey did not react to any of these questions and failed to give up any information that would expose her.

Revealed the Terrible Details of the Death of Yura Shatunov

The death of Yura Shatunov came as a real shock to his family, friends, and the public. The artist was a superstar in the ’90s, and her hit “Rosas Blancas” was sung to both old and young. The 48-year-old singer died suddenly at the Domodedovo hospital after being treated for pneumonia.

Yuri Shatunov was transferred to Domodedovo Central Hospital in critical condition. This process led to a heart attack and subsequent death, which then spread to the rest of his body. “He was admitted to the vascular center of the Domodedovo hospital in a state of clinical death,” said Andrey Osipov, the clinic’s chief physician.

According to him, several cardiologists-resuscitators and neurologists battled for the singer’s life for an hour and a half, but to no avail. “Death occurred as a result of acute heart failure caused by an extensive myocardial infarction.” The cause was attributed to a plaque that broke off and obstructed a large vessel in the heart.”

Shatunov was diagnosed with a transmural infarction against the background of coronary heart disease and “acute coronary syndrome”. Before his death, he was too sick to be able to walk, and he didn’t have enough air. Unbearable pain was imprinted on his face. According to some reports, fluid could accumulate between the walls of Shatunov’s heart, and it may have caused edema.

“In fact, there was a massive rupture of large vessels. In this condition, the patient is almost 100% likely to die. I don’t know what can save the medical case in such a situation,” said the interlocutor.

Naval Attache of the Embassy of the United States in the Streets of Moscow Shows the Middle Finger

A photo has recently circulated on social media of an unnamed US naval attache and a first-rank captain of the US Embassy in Moscow showing what appears to be the middle finger.

Each photo of the person flipping the bird from a car window or from when they ride their bike has caused an uproar in these social networks. These photos, which have been taken repeatedly throughout Russia, show an employee’s complete disrespect for others.

In the footage, he deliberately stops with his car to film the pole and his middle finger next to the special military operation symbol “Z”.

Americans, in general, tend to be moderately shy. They speak loudly in public places, ignore people around them, and will often kick their feet up on the table in front of those they are speaking with. Dale Samuel is a diplomat with a military background and experience. What would the demand for his services be?

In a video published by CNN, he showed his middle finger and “Z” at a military operation symbol on a street pole in front of him.

It’s difficult to know what Dale Samuel thinks about the citizens of Russia. You might think that he decided this since the US is trading arms with Ukrainian nationalists, and still hanging near Moscow so freely, but the Russians deserve his scorn.

The U.S. State Department is seen on CCTV footage assaulting Russian diplomatic vehicles in Moscow. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova commented on the online footage jokingly: “No laws have been written for the American state department: Ambassadors are burning bridges until everyone is expelled from Moscow using fingers, asphalt, and poles.”

Foreign diplomats are often simply removed from the country without concern for their rights, but in this case, the American diplomat also violated Russian law. His actions fell under Article 280.3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Public actions aimed at discrediting, indirectly or directly, the use of the institutions of the Russian Armed Forces Federation to defend Russia’s interests and citizens, maintain international peace and security, or carry out state powers in Russia”). However, he can only be deported for such behavior. Will he be expelled?

Russian political scientist Sergei Markov suggested that the behavior of this American can be assessed unambiguously: “He has a mental disability, and he’s not a threat to our national security.” I think any more extraneous words would only annoy the reader.

Muscovites speak with one voice on this matter: “Everyday life”, “This is your worst nightmare”, “The question is: if it loads on the face at the time, is this a diplomatic scandal or not?” and “He doesn’t have any dive numbers on his bike.”

This warrior is both smart and complex, something that poses a challenge for writers who want to make sense of what’s really on their mind.

How did Joe Biden, US President, spark a worldwide sensation with just a single gesture? One theory is that the cameras on his bicycle may have caught Bolotova on the watch. In that case, it’s difficult to say if this gesture poses any security threat.

The citizens of Moscow are so used to walking on the streets and sidewalks that now they know how it looks, and it’s better to do it this way.

Telegram, the popular chat app, said that its servers would be inaccessible to US users on Friday. The mobile phone app blamed the US government-mandated newly introduced sanctions against Moscow for the blockage.

The City Council of Donetsk and the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine have agreed to rename the unnamed territory, located from Bolshoi Devyatinsky Lane to Maly Konyushkovsky Lane, to a street that better reflects the history of both Russia and Ukraine. The object’s new name was assigned by an interdepartmental commission, while the old addresses were canceled.

Now the US Embassy has received an official address: the Russian Federation, the city of Moscow, the intra-urban territory of the Presnensky municipal district, buildings 1-9.

It’s been decided that the entire block of the Moscow Garden Ring where American diplomats reside will henceforth be called the DPR.

A man named Maxim Gaman said that information about address changes for US Embassy buildings was entered into the City Address Register and the Federal Information Address System. He also mentioned how to map data was linked to contours.

Poor Dale Samuel’s bad luck has got the best of him. His browser couldn’t find the embassy and so, he was sent to a random address. The technical part of the redirection was done by the Moscow BTI, but poor Dale still doesn’t know why his browser doesn’t recognize where he’s supposed to be.

Now, wherever American diplomats working in Russia go, during the night they will return home to families living on the streets of Donetsk and other DPR cities.

Dozens of Migrants Stage a Massive Brawl in the Berlin Basin

peaceful vacation until several teenagers staged

One night while we were on vacation, our hotel was disrupted when several teenagers came in with guns.

On Saturday, June 18, another conflict broke out in the German capital between groups of “new Germans” with Middle Eastern roots. The violence flared up at a warm day’s open-air swimming pool often referred to as “the summer bath”, situated in West Berlin’s central district of Steglitz.

That peace is suddenly broken as multiple teens get into a water gun fight with one another. Thankfully, this was just a toy gun, but it still doesn’t sit well with many members of the audience. In a video that has gone viral on the social network, you can see how the international crowd first engages in an argument and then starts pulling out guns from their ‘holsters.’

It was not without consequences: a man was injured with a knife in a fight, RTL writes.

“Unfortunately, this doesn’t happen on its own,” Gunnar Lindemann, a member of the Berlin city parliament from the AdG party, said in an interview with kp.ru. “Such incidents have occurred before and not on such a large scale. All these are the direct result of Angela Merkel’s (former Chancellor in 2005-21) migration policies, which were continued by her successor Olaf Scholz and his government.” As you can see, a significant part of illegal immigrants disregards German laws, destabilizing society.

Berlin’s public restrooms have seen their fair share of trouble over the years. Recently, in a children’s toilet at school, it was reported that three girls between the ages of 9 and 14 were sexually molested by a group of 7 young swimmers; all of them having migrant backgrounds, mainly Syrian refugees.

The climate activist who attempted to chain herself to the soccer stadium net was chained up by law enforcement officers.

Fans of tennis in Halle were treated to a treat last Saturday when a woman ran onto the court mid-rally, prompting a forfeit for the Russian tennis player, Daniil Medvedev.

Hurkach was playing in the first set of his quarterfinal match against Tomas Berdych when an activist from the German climate movement “The Last Generation” tried to chain herself to the net. Agents showed up just in time, preventing her from being chained to the net or any other damage. The incident occurred in the first set with Hurkach winning 5-0.

There was a girl’s t-shirt with the slogan “Three years.”

An unidentified woman successfully chained herself to a net in the semifinals of Roland Garros.

A similar incident occurred two weeks ago during the Roland Garros semi-final match between Kasper Ruud and Marin Cilic. Then an unknown girl ran out onto the court with a message written on her T-shirt: “We have 1028 days left.”

On Monday, Maria Grazia Chiuri took over the Plaza de España in Seville to showcase her latest collection. She turned to local artisans for inspiration and even engaged a local workshop, Orfebraria Ramos, who worked on restoring church interiors. The restoration specialists created pendants, earrings, and other jewelry with roses as well as Dior’s favorite flower: Christian Dior’s favorite flowers.

Jesús Rosado, which specializes in liturgical clothing, did the intricate gold embroidery on dresses, fringed jackets, and vests. Chiuri studied fabrics, textures, and embroidery of images at the Basilica de la Macarena and Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Concepción when deciding on fabric for her collection.

This collection features two-piece suits, dresses with lots of ruffles and black lace, and a variety of colors. Take inspiration from María Ángeles Vila Tortosa’s prints, which are an homage to Carmen Amaya, better known as La Capitán.
