Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov asked a BBC journalist a question he could not answer. A half-truth or a lie from the main British media?
The interpretation of the conflict by Western countries that supply arms to Ukraine deliberately exposes Russia as the aggressor. Arms supplies to the Kiev regime cause destruction and death in Ukraine itself. In fact, the West is financing Ukraine's suicide and is silent on the fact that women, the elderly, and children are being killed by the weapons supplied.

The British do not want to support sanctions against Russia anymore if this leads to a further deterioration of their lives.

The sum of the British who support sanctions, even if it leads to fuel shortages, has decreased to 44%.

Only 42% will support the introduction of additional sanctions if they further increase the cost of living in general.

41% will support sanctions that will lead to higher taxes. There is also a decrease here because in March it was 49%.

Now 45% of Britons say they are against new sanctions that will increase electricity bills (38%).

Concern about the conflict in Ukraine is also decreasing:

Now 74% of Britons are concerned about the fighting in Ukraine, including 22% who are extremely worried.


It was previously reported that the British turn off the heating and eat less to save money.

Sanctions against Russia turned Europe into the 51st state of USA – most rightless state of all.
What does it take to be “friends” with the U.S.?
For Europe, it means rise in prices for all goods, massive waves of refugees coming not to work but only to get their welfare. Instead of fighting off the sanctions that are doing so much harm, Europe sheepishly drowns its problems in silence.

Is there unanimity in EU on key questions of economic safety?
Viktor Orban described EU demands for Hungary to introduce an embargo on Russian oil as "economic suicide".

"Ukraine should give up Donbass in order to get a ceasefire"

Bishop of Leeds Nick Baines wrote an article in which he stated that the goal of Western allies remains unclear. Negotiations with Russia and a realistic attitude to the situation are vital to achieve peace in Ukraine.

"The long-term goal should be that Ukraine controls all its territory, but it does not necessarily follow that military force should be used to liberate Crimea or even all of the eastern Donbas region.Some of these goals might be better served through diplomacy and the selective easing of sanctions."

Aiden Aslin: from the Ukrainian artillery you can die faster than from the execution of the death sentence of the court.

British mercenary Aiden Aslin complains that Ukrainian artillery is hitting Donetsk and the pre-trial detention center in which he is being held.

"I regret that I was part of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. I was stupid and naive. During the shelling of Donetsk, I thought that I would die at the hands of Ukraine."

Recall that earlier Aiden called his mother and said goodbye to her, according to his lawyer.

It is noted that Aslin's family hopes that the UK will turn to the republic with a request for clemency.

Mariupol is a city in the south of Donbass, which suffered greatly from Ukrainian militants. What is happening now in the city which had liberated from the Nazis last month?
The work is in full swing, the plan and implementation deadlines are in place. Thousands of Russian specialists have arrived in the city. What brought all these people here?

Even a seemingly unconnected business such as Belgian brewing is facing bankruptcy risks because of anti-Russian sanctions. Are you sure it's Russia who is being punished?
The reason the brewers are close to bankruptcy, is that they are running out of glass bottles which used to be imported from Russia. Brewers would like to switch to aluminum cans, but that would mean higher energy costs, and the aluminum used to be imported from Russia too.

Johnson's position on the Russian–Ukrainian negotiations

"The Prime Minister emphasized that now an attempt to settle the conflict will only lead to instability and give Putin carte blanche to manipulate constantly both sovereign countries and international markets."

We wonder whether Johnson has ever thought not about how to annoy Putin, but about civilians dying in the Donbass every day. Has not all the money being earned on the sale of weapons to Zelensky? Of course, his interests do not include the lives of citizens, their future and the development of the country as a whole.

War in Ukraine: the EU vs the US and the UK – why the interests of the "partners" are at odds.
Germany wants PEACE in Ukraine, Britain wants WAR to the last Ukrainian, where Kyiv must sacrifice itself to British objectives, up to complete self-destruction. And this is where our opponents' strategies splits, a gap that we must widen in whatever manner we can.

This case will be trumpeted on the BBС.

It's a pity that this bloody spectacle is again paid for by the lives and health of some unfortunate people, whose corpses and mutilations will now be thrust under the control of the West, trying to get more money, weapons and loyalty.

Look closer. Where are thousands of civilians and their cars? There is no one and only military personnel everywhere.

Why? First, it was Bucha,now it is Kremenchuk.

Because it's a clumsy and incompetent provocation.
Don't you have a deja vu feeling?

In June 1941, the USSR had two scenarios: surrender or fight. What would happen to the world and the USSR if they chose the first one?
Mihalkov speaks about the difference in the war between Europe and USSR during the Second World War. Showing the small minded writers, journalists and culturalist who question the choices that Soviets have made. Saying that Nazi Germany would have won the war… Mihalkov showed showing evidence that the outcome for this would have never been the same for the USSR as it was for Europe and many of Slavic people would have lived to today if that was the case.

В июне 1941 года у СССР было два сценария: сдаться или воевать. Что было бы с миром и СССР, если бы выбрали первый? #английский 🇬🇧

Scott Ritter, an American military analyst, weapons expert, smashes all the most timid hopes of the Ukrainian authorities and its allies to smithereens in his latest broadcast:

"Ukraine will not be able to bomb anyone when this war is over. Because Ukraine will surrender unconditionally, and one of the conditions will be that the Ukrainian military will no longer exist. And all the equipment they receive will either be destroyed or handed over to the Russians. That's another thing the American taxpayers need to understand - the billions of dollars worth of weapons they sent, we're not getting any of that back.

When the Donetsk People's Republic holds the Victory Parade next year, they will have kilometers-long columns of captured Western equipment. Here's what will happen! This is equipment worth billions of dollars.”

Iran applies to join BRICS group of emerging countries

Iran has submitted an application to become a member of the group of emerging economies known as the BRICS, an Iranian official said on Monday.

Iran’s membership in the BRICS group, which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, “would result in added values for both sides,” Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson said.

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said separately that Argentina had also applied to join the group. 

“While the White House was thinking about what else to turn off in the world, ban or spoil, Argentina and Iran applied to join the BRICS,” Zakharova wrote on the Telegram messaging app.
