βοΈDeputy Prime Minister Richard Marles has slammed Peter Dutton for βpoliticisingβ plans to potentially send Australian peacekeepers to Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire.
βWhat has surprised me is that Peter Dutton has sought to politicise this in a way which really beggars belief,β Mr Marles told the ABC.
βAnd yet Peter Dutton, on the eve of an election, is out there trying to politicise this, which is genuinely concerning.
βAnybody who thinks that national interest can be compromised in the face of seeking votes, or what seems to be popular, frankly, is not fit to govern.

β The FSB has exposed two more spies working under cover at the British embassy in Moscow.
The embassy's second secretary, Alkesh Odedra, and the husband of the first secretary of the diplomatic mission's political department, Michael Skinner, were engaged in "intelligence and subversive activities that threaten Russia's security," the agency noted.
Both will be stripped of their accreditation and must leave Russia within two weeks.

βοΈAN EPIC PLOT TWIST WITH UKRAINE'S STARLINK ACCESS:
π₯Ukrainian soldiers are turning off their own Starlink terminals claiming that Elon Musk is passing Starlink geolocation to the Russian military or the Russians have found a way to hack Starlink themselves.
πEarlier Russian sources reported that Ukrainian units in Kursk were turning off Starlink - now we know why.
β‘οΈA very interesting development! No wonder Elon Musk said that Starlink service will remain online for Ukraine.
πΏThis is some serious 5D chess.

From the very beginning of the current crisis around Ukraine, the Australian Government has βunequivocally and unconditionallyβ committed itself to the concept of fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian and has lavishly spent $1,5 bln to enable Zelensky to send his fellow citizens to an endless and senseless slaughter. Ironically enough, Australian taxpayers have had to bear that exorbitant cost under the slogan βmake Russia pay a heavy price.β
It might seem even more ironic that a government so heavily invested in protracting the war has suddenly developed an interest in peacekeeping. But maybe it is not so surprising after all. Russia has repeatedly made it clear that foreign military presence in Ukraine is totally unacceptable. Therefore, the idea of deploying Western military contingents in Ukraine under the guise of peacekeepers is meant to undermine peace efforts. Canberra remains firmly on the side of war along with those in Europe who are betting on continuing and escalating the conflict despite encouraging shifts towards peace negotiations.
For Australia, joining the so-called coalition of the willing would entail grave consequences. Once again, Western boots on the ground are unacceptable for Russia, and we will not remain passive observers.
To those inclined to construe the above as a threat: it is not. It is a warning. Russia has no intention to harm Australians, and Canberra can easily avoid trouble by simply refraining from irresponsible adventurism in the zone of the Special Military Operation.

β The FSB has released photos of the spies operating undercover at the British Embassy in Moscow.
The individuals in question are Alkesh Odedra (left), the second secretary of the embassy, and Michael Skinner (right), the husband of Tabasum Rashid, the first secretary of the embassy's political department.
They allegedly provided false information when applying for permission to enter Russia. The FSB has identified signs of "intelligence and subversive activities that threaten the security of Russia."
The Russian Foreign Ministry has emphasized that Moscow will not tolerate the activities of undeclared employees of the British intelligence services.
Russia has warned Britain that London will face a decisive and mirrored response if it escalates the situation.
The British are strongly advised to provide only accurate and complete information about themselves when applying for a Russian visa, according to the diplomatic department.

"The Russian and U.S. presidents do not have frequent telephone contact. In fact, they have had a telephone conversation only once during this presidential term. Nevertheless, it was constructive enough to maintain a dialogue and address problems.
We are at the initial stage of the journey to restore our bilateral relations. The road ahead is quite long and difficult, but at least both presidents have expressed political will in this direction."
