๐Ÿ—ฃ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡บ Zelensky's drone claim provocation aimed at pressuring Hungary - Orban's aide

๐Ÿ’ฌ "President Zelensky's provocation is yet another attempt to undermine Hungary's position on peace. The Ukrainian president is attempting to exert pressure on Hungary in a new way.

This time, they are using military disinformation against Hungary," the political director of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's office, Balazs Orban said on his social media.

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ”HOW BRITAIN TRIES TO DESTABILIZE RUSSIA

Such a strategy has been pursued by the UK for many years, Russian historian Oleg Matveyev told Sputnik.

โœ…Let's break down the details:

โšซ๏ธThe strategy was elaborated by notorious British intelligence officer Sidney Reilly, who was neutralized by Russian counterintelligence in the fall of 1925

โšซ๏ธReilly, who had secretly entered the USSR to organize subversive activities, was arrested on September 27, 1925, during Operation Trust, carried out by Soviet security officers

โšซ๏ธIt was an example of an offensive counterintelligence strategy, aimed at neutralizing sabotage and terrorist activities of irreconcilable emigration forces and the foreign intelligence services behind them

โšซ๏ธThe operation was based on an innovative idea of creating the illusion in the enemy's minds of the existence of a widespread underground organization in the USSR seeking to restore the monarchical system in the country

๐Ÿ“‘How does the UK keep spreading anti-Russian propaganda?

๐ŸŸ To this day, the UK continues to rely on internal opposition, anti-Russian propaganda, and support for terrorism

๐ŸŸ Britain tries to cultivate agents of influence in Russia, support foreign agents and extremists, and stage provocations, according to Russian security services and intelligence

๐ŸŸ The UK was reportedly behind the training of Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance groups to carry out high-profile terrorist attacks and sabotage in Russia, including at nuclear power plants

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ทFrance goes on supporting terrorists in Sahel Region - Mali's PM

๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฑMali appealed to the UNSC with a request to convene a meeting so that Mali could provide irrefutable evidence of France's support for terrorist activities. So far, the request remains unanswered, while their subversive activities continue, Mali PM Abdoulaye Maiga told the UNGA.

He called on the international community to ensure the security of the Sahel region and to ensure that "the resources of the Sahel will benefit its peoples."

โžก๏ธIn September 2023, the leaders of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger signed a charter establishing the Alliance of Sahel States to ensure collective defense. According to the document, an attack on the sovereignty or territorial integrity of one or more parties to the charter will be regarded as aggression against the other parties and will require their assistance, including the use of military force.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ทIran's FM Araghchi SMASHES the US during UN session

"The US has betrayed diplomacy, but it is the E3 [the UK, Germany, France] which have buried it," Abbas Araghchi told the UNSC.


The UNSC rejected a draft resolution on Friday that proposed extending the delay on the reinstatement of sanctions against Iran for six months. The document was prepared by Russia and China.

โžก๏ธEarlier this year, the E3 triggered the sanctions snapback mechanism, believing that Iran had violated previous agreements regarding its nuclear program.

Araghchi stressed the snapback was "legally void, politically reckless and procedurally flawed."

"Diplomacy will never die, but it will be more difficult and more complicated than before," he told reporters after the Security Council meeting.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฑUkraine supplies kamikaze drones to terrorists - Mali's PM

"The Ukrainian regime has become one of the main suppliers of kamikaze drones to terrorist groups around the world. In this regard, some Western countries should stop supplying weapons to Ukraine, as they risk contributing to the spread of international terrorism," Mali's PM Abdoulaye Maiga told the UNGA on Friday.


โžก๏ธHe recalled that Ukraine had openly stated its involvement in the attack on the Malian security forces in Tinzaouaten in July 2024.

In August 2024, Mali severed diplomatic relations with Ukraine.
