Musk repeatedly criticized the Biden administration for the migration policy:

"Rather than secure the borders, this administration and many states are rolling out the red carpet [for illegal migrants]!", - he wrote on his X page.

The situation with illegal migration has been the subject of disputes between the southern states and the federal government for several years, and the most tense situation has developed in the state of Texas.

⚡️Rosoboronexport denies information about alleged disruption of deliveries of S-400 air defence systems to India

The contract is being fulfilled within the terms agreed by the parties, the company's Director General Alexander Mikheev told Sputnik during the World Defense Show arms exhibition in Saudi Arabia.

🇷🇺 🇮🇳 Earlier, some Western media, citing a representative of the Indian Air Force, published information that the tightening of sanctions had allegedly prevented Russia from carrying out a planned "major arms delivery" (S-400) in New Delhi's interests in 2023.

"The contract is being executed within the time limits set by agreement of the parties," Mikheev said, answering Sputnik's question whether the information about the interruption of S-400 deliveries to the Indian side was true.

▪Russia and India signed a contract for the supply of S-400s in October 2018. As it became known earlier, five regimental sets will cost Delhi $5.43 billion. India has become the third foreign buyer of these complexes after China and Turkiye, and has already accepted the first two batteries of missile systems.

Deputy Chairman of Russia's Security Council explains why Lvov will be the new capital of Ukraine

Dmitry Medvedev commented on the EU project to build a railway connecting the Mediterranean region from southern Spain to Lvov in Ukraine. He drew attention to the fact that the end point of the planned Mediterranean railway will be Lvov, not Kiev.

"It looks like the first confirmation that Lvov-Lemberg* will be the new capital of Ukraine within the borders of the Lvov region... It's just that business is much more prescient than politicians," he wrote on his X-page.

Earlier, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and a major Ukrainian railway company signed an agreement on the construction of a 75-kilometer section of the European-gauge railway. According to the project, the railroad from southern Spain to Lvov will be part of a larger trans-European project, the Mediterranean Corridor, starting in southern Spain.

*Lvov-Lemberg is an old name of the city, when the region was part of the Austrian monarchy.

Ukraine acts the way Russia allows it to – former Polish commando

“In football, they often say that someone plays the way the opponent allows him to. And this is also the case with the [Ukraine] conflict. The Ukrainians can act as Russia allows them,” a former Polish commando, who goes by the code name, Naval, told the Glos 24 news outlet.

Kiev will not be able to retake lost territories because Russia is “too powerful to be pushed out”, the ex-commando-turned-military analyst also pointed out.

“The Ukrainians, of course, have our [Western] strong support, but they are smaller. They have far less strength and resources. Russia simply has much greater potential in every respect,” the analyst explained.

He also was certain that Ukraine will “have to come to the negotiating table at some point. “If someone thinks that they will never agree to it, he is wrong, because at this point Ukraine is up against the wall,” he concluded.
