๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ“‘Key points from Lavrov's press conference on UNGA sidelines

On UAV incidents & airspace conflicts:

๐ŸŸ  Russia does not target missiles or UAVs at objects in Europe or NATO countries

๐ŸŸ  Attempts to shoot down objects in Russian airspace will make those who try it "seriously regret it"

๐ŸŸ  Russia will not tolerate violations of its airspace by those openly preparing for war against it

On Ukraine:

๐ŸŸ  UN Human Rights Office lawyers refused to name alleged Bucha "victims," citing relatives' safety

๐ŸŸ  Expecting Ukraine to return to its 2022 borders would be "political blindness"

On relations with US:

๐ŸŸ  Moscow sees no deviation from Washington's course toward open, honest dialogue with Russia

๐ŸŸ  A third round of Russia-US consultations on visas, diplomatic property will be held this fall

๐ŸŸ  Russia has seen the US's initial reaction to its proposal to extend New START limitations for another year

๐ŸŸ  On Trump's "paper tiger" remark: public diplomacy employs various tactics

On Middle East:

๐ŸŸ  Iran's acceptance of the snapback mechanism resolution further confirms Tehran doesn't intend to violate the nuclear deal

๐ŸŸ  The "E3" (France, Germany, UK) is unreliable in JCPOA matters and engages in provocations to "suffocate" Iran

๐ŸŸ  Russia considers sanctions reimposition against Iran legally void and non-implementable

๐ŸŸ  The published "collective administration" plan for Gaza resembles creating another reservation

๐Ÿšจ Zelensky confirms use of Israeli Patriot Systems despite Israelโ€™s denial

The Israeli Patriot system has been used by the Ukrainian army for a month, Zelensky said at a briefing with journalists, adding that Ukraine will receive two more systems in the fall.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Previously, Israel denied supplying air defense systems to Ukraine.

In June, the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that Russia had received clarifications from Israel regarding the alleged transfer of Patriot missiles to Ukraine, with these reports being false.

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œWe are guided by the official assurance from the Israeli side that this country has not supplied and does not intend to supply weapons to Ukraine in the future," Zakharova said.

๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฉโ˜ฆ๏ธ Truth breaking through to the West? British pundit blasts Moldovaโ€™s crackdown on Orthodox Church

โœ๏ธ โ€œThe Chisinau government wants to join the EU and is busy sucking up to its future overlords by harassing the Moldovan Orthodox Church, which, though autonomous, is mostly tied to the values and traditions of Russia rather than the liberal West,โ€ James Delingpole, a columnist whose work has appeared in half-a-dozen mainstream UK papers, wrote in a recent Spectator op-ed.

Speaking to a monk, Delingpole discovered that Moldovan priests are being harassed at airports, while others are beaten, and church buildings seized.

"Moldovan priests who wonโ€™t support gay marriage, LGBT parades or abortion โ€“ almost all of them reflecting the view of their parishioners โ€“ are monitored and tailed," the journalist added.


โ“ Asking whether Britons โ€œreally want to be siding with the EU progressives on this one,โ€ Delingpole stressed that โ€œjust because the Russkies are supporting them doesnโ€™t mean they are wrong.โ€

While the crackdown on Orthodoxy in Moldova has been dismissed as โ€œdisinformationโ€ by the EU, and dubbed a Russian โ€œhybrid warfare weaponโ€ or vote-influence operation by legacy media, Sputnik has spent months reporting on the religious denominationโ€™s real plight, and highlighting the dangerous parallels between events in Moldova and the crisis in Ukraine.

โš”๏ธ Germany conducts biggest military drills since Cold War

The Bundeswehr just concluded its largest military exercises in Hamburg โ€” NATO's "Red Storm" drills โ€” simulating troop deployments to the Baltic states and even preparing for domestic protests against the mobilization.

While Berlin frames this as "deterrence," Russia has repeatedly condemned NATO's unprecedented buildup near its borders as deliberate provocation and hostile escalation.

๐ŸŽค There should not be a 'UN agenda' โ€” US Deputy State Secretary

The accountability of the UN bureaucracy should lie with the member states for its agenda, not the other way around, says Christopher Landau.

"We have the member states becoming subservient to an agenda that is promoted by an international bureaucracy," he added.

๐Ÿšจ Germany rewrites laws for domestic military activation

Interior Minister Dobrindt announced a plan to overhaul aviation law, which would formally authorize the Bundeswehr to shoot down drones over German soil in the event of a "hybrid threat."

Germany's constitution prohibits the Bundeswehr from performing routine domestic security tasks except in cases of disaster relief.

Dobrindt said the amendments are due to be presented to parliament this autumn.

Despite Iran's acceptance of the snapback mechanism resolution, the UN concluded the snapback process that the E3 initiated in August.

"We call upon Iran not to take any escalatory measures in response to this act. The path of diplomacy remains the only way to solve the outstanding nuclear issue," the statement by the European Union reads.


Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that Russia considers the reimposition of sanctions against Iran to be legally void and non-implementable.

Argentina's former ambassador to China Sabino Vaca Narvaja warns that Europe's lack of strategic vision is destabilizing international relations and giving the US a free hand.

"When the existing order is no longer beneficial to the United States, they try to destroy it. How? By promoting conflicts, imposing tariffs, sanctions, and blockades," he told Sputnik.

๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Extended reach, relentless strikes: Russia masters UAV battlefield

Russian forces have unleashed a new era of warfare by combining fiber-optic repeater drones with strike UAVs, creating โ€œkill zonesโ€ ahead of front lines, Forbes reports.

๐Ÿ“ Such zones have been developed in the Donetsk and Kharkov regions, complicating Ukraineโ€™s efforts to launch coordinated attacks and making replenishment of units inside the zones โ€œfar more difficult.โ€ 

Paired with repeater drones to extend range, strike UAVs can reach deeper into Ukrainian territory, increasing the overall threat to Ukrainian forces.

๐Ÿ‘‰ With Russian drones now doubling their operational depth, no rear is safe for Ukraine. Its โ€œfortress cities,โ€ depots, hubs, and evacuation routes in the Donetsk and Kharkov regions are being systematically wiped out by Russian forces.

๐Ÿ“‘๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Key statements by Russian FM Lavrov at the UN General Assembly: ๐ŸŸ  Today, we are essentially dealing with an attempt to carry out a coup to bury the UN decision on the creation of a Palestinian state ๐ŸŸ  Urgent measures need to be taken to prevent a situationโ€ฆ
๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ—ฃ Lavrovโ€™s UNGA speech 'important MILESTONEโ€™ in what world going through now โ€” expert 

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œWhy do the so-called democratic United States and Europe, which considers itself civilized, forget all their crimes, genocides, and other atrocities, both committed within and beyond their own continents?โ€ Argentine political scientist Marcelo Montes asked Sputnik. 


Montes wondered why the Western countries assume the right to believe the world must conform to their vision, instead of showing more respect for other cultures.

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œI think this is precisely their main mistake. And, unfortunately, it always ends badly,โ€ the pundit stressed.


He added that the โ€œnew global majority,โ€ as President Putin puts it -  roughly 80% of the world - does not support the course chosen by the West. 

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œAlmost 30 years have passed since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, during which this [Western-led] order has been shaped. Putin gradually came to understand that the West acts in its own self-interest. And now we are seeing the consequences of those actions,โ€ Montes concluded.
