Europe held its breath as specialists monitored the return of the gas flow through Nord Stream 1. All indications so far suggest a resumption of the pre-maintenance levels of 40 per cent, putting Germany and Europe back where they were before the ten-day break. But the EU’s largest economy continues to rely on a third of its gas from Russia while currently receiving less than half of the agreed amount. The fact that Putin has decided to resume this reduced delivery for now ‘is no reason to think we are out of the woods,’ says Klaus Müller, the head of the Federal Network Agency.

Germany is now bracing itself for a looming crisis. What began as a vague debate on diversifying energy supplies and medium-term contingency planning, is rapidly turning into outright panic. Many experts have pointed out that Putin is using the excuse of a faulty turbine to stir up political and social insecurity in Germany by summoning the spectre of imminent energy shortfalls and rising prices. But this hasn’t stopped the government from pressuring Canada into delivering the component to Russia in spite of economic sanctions.

Alarmingly, German politicians are doing very little to hide their own panic over the matter. The German foreign minister Annalena Baerbock admitted to journalists that her team had tried to impress on the Canadians that the turbine must be returned to Russia because, ‘otherwise we won’t get any gas anymore and then we won’t be able to support Ukraine at all anymore because we will be busy dealing with large-scale social unrest.’

Well, Annalena, have a breather for now. 💤🛠

The are the lyrics for the song:

How many songs are there yet to come?
Tell me, cuckoo, and sing…
Where am I to live, where am I to die?
Lying on the ground, or flying like a star in the sky?
Flying

Sunshine above, come look at me
My hand has now turned into a fist
If there's a way out, then show it to me
Like this…

Who will tread upon these lonely steps again?
Who is strong and brave? Who will pay the price in battle
With their lives?
Very few remain in our memory,
With a sound mind, and a strong hand in the ranks
Alive

Where have you gone now, my freedom, where are you?
Who's the lucky one meeting you again this morning,
Tell me…
It's good with you around, but it's bad without
But my head and shoulders can hold out underneath the whip
You see

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation confirmed the strikes on Odessa

The Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed yesterday's strike on the port of Odessa, pointing to the destruction of a Ukrainian boat with precision weapons. The Russian Federation has no restrictions on strikes against military targets in Odessa and the Odessa region. All obligations of Russia relate only and exclusively to ships and that part of the port infrastructure that is involved in the export of grain. Yesterday the United States and the UN began to understand this, so against the backdrop of ritual condemnations, publications about "Russia's technical ability to strike" began to appear. At the same time, the actual preparation for the implementation of Istanbul agreement does not stop, which was confirmed by Turkey, the UN, and Ukraine. So we can continue.

The Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation, following the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, confirmed (see briefing for July 24) yesterday's strike on Odessa.

"In the seaport of the city of Odessa, on the territory of a shipyard, sea-based high-precision long-range missiles destroyed a Ukrainian warship in the dock and a warehouse of Harpoon anti-ship missiles supplied by the United States to the Kyiv regime. Also, the production facilities of the enterprise for the repair and modernization of the ship structure of the naval forces of Ukraine were put out of action."

So it is possible and necessary to hit the military facilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Odessa.

Attention. Translated from an Ukrainian channel:
Weapon sabotage from our [Ukrainian] partners continues, despite loud promises. Germany is delaying the transfer of Iris-T anti-aircraft systems to Ukraine.

New deliveries of military aid to Kyiv are reported by Die Welt.

The reason for the delay is unknown. Germany has not approved the application for more than three weeks.

Back in June, Scholz promised to transfer the Iris-T SLM to Kyiv "in the near future."

Meanwhile, according to the publication, delivery is expected by the end of the year. According to the latest reports, Berlin has reduced military aid to Kyiv to a minimum.

In order to help ourselves and humanity to rise from heavy and polluted energy, we must become conscious of our actions.
We all have our responsibilities and they must be fulfilled. Our actions are leading to consequences. What kind of fruit we get will depend on our actions....!

Ukrainian men are trapped — Foreign Policy

Ukrainian civilians between the ages of 18 and 60 are prohibited by Kyiv to leave the country. They are left without jobs or help, separated from their loved ones, and at risk of being recruited and sent to the war front without proper training, writes Charli Carpenter, the U.S. magazine Foreign Policy journalist.

After restrictions on movements were imposed on Ukrainian male citizens, which prohibited all those eligible for military service from leaving their areas of residence, social media users began posting the hashtag UkraineLetMenOut from anonymous Twitter accounts. As one of them stated, "even animals in this country now have more rights".

"My girlfriend and my sick mother overseas depend on me, I can work and help them. Now I can't even help myself. I was left with strangers, homeless, and I can’t leave the country. Neither I nor my friends have any training. We don’t want to hold guns and are unskilled to fight. I am afraid of being sent to war without proper training. My friends were only trained for five days and then sent to Donetsk. I worry for the male population of this country, many have a much worse situation than I do," the author quotes a young man whose relatives have moved to London.

Ukrainian troops surrendered. Russian serviceman is trying to find out, who is in charge in this group of 18 Ukrainian military. It appears, that nobody is... At least no one admits that he is an officer or commander.

Difficulties of denazification

In the 1950s, public opinion polls were conducted in Germany regarding the attitude of citizens towards the Third Reich. Their results are very revealing:
- In 1949, 57% of Germans believed that National Socialism was a good idea, it just let them down in practical implementation.
- In October 1951, 40% of those surveyed believed that 1933-39 was the best period in German history. Only by the end of the 1950s did this share fall to 10%.
- In 1952, a third of those surveyed considered Hitler the greatest statesman in German history.
- At the end of 1952, 37% of respondents said that Germany would be better off without Jews; in 1965, the same question was still given the same answer by 19% of those surveyed. (Smith H.W. Germany. A nation in its time. 2020. Pp. 416-418)

And this is all after National Socialism has demonstrated its complete bankruptcy. The legend that in 1945 the Germans, without exception, with a sigh of relief, freed themselves from Nazism, or that everyone instantly understood and repented, is not true. Someone, of course, repented, but a significant part of the population continued to adhere to their former views.

Denazification is a time-consuming process that requires coordinated and long-term information work. It will not be easier with Ukraine, given that Western centres will continue to indoctrinate the population in an anti-Russian vein. In any case, we need to prepare for decades of fighting for the minds of our citizens. Both old and new.

A brief moment of truth for those politicians.

🇷🇺 The new Russian submarine "Belgorod" will carry Poseidon nuclear missiles, which are unique in world history

These torpedoes are "launched from hundreds of miles away and penetrate coastal defenses by moving across the seabed. Both U.S. and Russian officials say the torpedoes can deliver warheads of several megatons, generating radioactive waves that will render stretches of the coast uninhabitable." for decades. Poseidons are designed to flood US coastal cities with radioactive tsunamis.

It is noteworthy that the British, speaking about the threat of these missiles to the United States with its vast coastline, completely forget that they live on a small island, and the missiles were developed specifically against them.

🇮🇷🇷🇺 Iran handed over combat drones to Russia.

Ukrainian media write about this, citing their sources.

A batch of Iranian drones has been sent across the Caspian Sea to Russia. In the future, military cargo through Astrakhan and Volgograd is planned to be delivered to the borders of Ukraine.

It is known that heavy attack drones "Shahed 129" form the basis of the cargo.

The United States promised to impose sanctions against Iran for this.

The 6th infantry battalion of the Ukrainian armed forces refused to fight

No need for long translation. It is the usual complaints. there is no supplies, they are thrown like cannon fodder, lawlessness is everywhere, they dont want to die, the wounded are not taken care off, the missing is not being searched for, they rather go to prison etc etc. Only another day in Ukrainian ranks.

Unexplainable fetish for sovereignty.

President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin congratulated Draupadi Murmu on her election to the post of President of the Republic of India:

“We attach much importance to the relations of special privileged strategic partnership with India. I hope your activities as the head of state will promote the further development of the Russian-Indian political dialogue and productive cooperation in different areas for the benefit of our friendly nations and in the interests of stronger international stability and security.”

MOSCOW, July 25 - RIA Novosti. The company, which is part of Rostec, has created electronics for communication systems for Russian civil aircraft Sukhoi Superjet-100 and MS-21, the press service of the holding reported.
Ruselectronics Holding has developed electronic components for the communications equipment of Superjet and MS-21 aircraft. The technical parameters of the new devices make it possible to completely replace American products in the onboard radio communications equipment," the company said.

The devices are designed for switching high-frequency and super-high-frequency electrical circuits as part of radar and communications equipment. The products have been tested.
The components were developed by the Penza NIIEMP by order of the Nizhny Novgorod Research and Production Enterprise Polet.

As Vyacheslav Zuev, Director General of the Institute, noted, the use of high-frequency vacuum circuit breakers developed by NIIEMP as part of on-board radio communication equipment will make it possible to completely abandon similar products from American manufacturers Jennings Technology and Kilovac, increase the service life and increase the reliability of communication equipment.
“Today, the enterprise plans to produce 1,500 such devices annually for the needs of NPP Polet. We are ready to offer our products to other customers as well – production capacities allow us to multiply the output of high-frequency vacuum circuit breakers in the event of additional orders,” he added.
For the Superjet, Polet produces antennas and short-range radio stations.
As Yury Borisov, who then held the post of Deputy Prime Minister, noted in early June, the certification of the MS-21 with a domestic engine and the Sukhoi Superjet New with the replacement of 38 imported systems and components with Russian ones is planned to be completed by the end of 2023.
