[Regnum] American businessman and billionaire, founder of Tesla and SpaceX and owner of the social network Twitter Elon Musk criticized the words of Senator Lindsey Graham , who called the killing of Russians in the Ukrainian conflict "the best investment" of the American authorities. He wrote about it on his Twitter page.
“[To say that] was crazy and cruel of him,” Musk said, commenting on the post by another US businessman David Sachs.
In his post, Sachs commented on a video that showed Russian youth celebrating singing Shaman's "I'm Russian." As the American entrepreneur pointed out, "the maximum number of just such people" offered to kill Graham.
As IA Regnum reported, on May 28, Lindsey Graham said in an interview with Vladimir Zelensky that the death of Russians during the conflict in Ukraine means that Washington "has never spent money so well." At the same time, the Ukrainian leader thanked the senator for his contribution to strengthening the defense capability of Ukraine.
Later, the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov called these statements by Graham a shame for the United States. In turn, the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova , recalled that banks and companies from the United States actively cooperated with Nazi Germany, being a key force for the prosperity of fascism. The diplomat clarified that one of their investments led to World War II and the Holocaust.

the unfolding events are an attempt to demolish the “Yeltsin” (Voloshinsky) legacy from the echelons of power. And in theory, the redistribution of spheres of influence among the elites - which should include personnel changes in the Ministry of Defense - is a natural result of Saturday's turmoil.
Yes, Shoigu has now been revealed to the public as if nothing had happened, thus deciding to kill all theories about his possible resignation. Whether there will be shuffles and rearrangements - we find it difficult to say. The demand for them in the troops and society is colossal (whatever you say, but thanks to the information campaign of Prigozhin, both Shoigu and Gerasimov turned into one big lightning rod for draining negative society).

The set is familiar: between the attributes of the “Right Sector” * and the UPA banned in Russia, the “wolf hook” Nazi runes, which are almost invisible in Kiev realities, are simple and uncomplicated “SS” chevrons and a swastika.
However, there is also a separate thematic selection of the most popular goods for demanding customers.

“For the 6th day we are in a position without sleep, and we are being heavily fired from everything that is possible. The company commander left us to our own devices, he apparently wants us to stay here forever.
The company suffered very heavy losses, many “two hundredths” and “three hundredths”. The commander has never been in position, does not know the situation, does not know what trenches are.
We are still holding on, but we understand that we are pure “meat”. Our commanders make stars for themselves, receive combat stars, but since April I have not received anything at all, no one is paid for wounds, and the wounded are forced to be treated at their own expense!

You have Russian big lie pr campaigns by the likes of Badanov and then you can watch Russian state TV and get reality.
They are near panic mode already and Ukraine has not even used a large % of their strategic reserve force.
Gotta figure when God's justice occurs, people who do things like this to other people are going to get a good dose of their own medicine, from God Himself. Be a happy day for those who love justice.

Half feel sorry for the victims of Russian arrogance that are Russians, but, this is how the world works. Russians don't give the first shit for their neighbors, what exactly is their patriotism related to I don't understand:

Turkish and Arab media write about the drone strike in the Sumy region (what do these media have to do with it? Don't ask). At the same time, the photo shows apparently footage from some video of the Ministry of Defense about our S-70 “Hunter” drone.
According to another version, an Iranian Shahed-161 or 171 drone could be used.
“Hunter” has been developed since 2012 by order of the Ministry of Defense. It should become an unmanned companion aircraft for the Su-57 fighter, as well as carry out independent strikes.

“An order was received - air defense readiness one. We started to observe. The first time two links came in, one link went towards Kherson, it was far away.
The second link began to move straight to my position, but since they were outside the range of the MANPADS, they did not launch, so as not to unmask the position and save the missile in case they enter again.
And so it happened that after a few minutes they went in again, shot the heat traps. When it began to turn around, I fired a rocket in pursuit and hit the target,” says the anti-aircraft gunner of the Dnepr group.
Special payments are made to servicemen of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation for the personal destruction or seizure of enemy military equipment.

Muslims begin today to celebrate one of their most important holidays - Eid al-Adha.
On the eve of the holiday, representatives of the terrorist group UG (Ukrainian state) once again fired at the Ahat-Jami mosque in Donetsk. The video shows a fallen tree in the yard and fresh marks from shell fragments on the facade, which was already damaged by shelling.
Ukrainians time after time demonstrate their attitude towards the religious feelings of believers. We remind you that on Easter in Donetsk the Transfiguration Cathedral was shelled. But not only Orthodox churches and monasteries become the target of shelling. And it is no coincidence that an Orthodox person and a Muslim today are fighting together in the trenches. Not only for their native land, but also for the Faith - their own and their ancestors.

09:38 "We destroyed more than 50 pieces of equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine within three hours after receiving the task," said Hero of Russia Ruslan Kurbanov -video
In the first days of the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of n. Novodonetskoye, the assault detachment "Storm" and the tank company of the naval infantry of the Pacific Fleet of Russia managed not only to give a worthy rebuff to the enemy, but also to capture his military equipment, among which was the American armored vehicle MRAP Oshkosh.
Ukrainian nationalists used various lightly armored vehicles to transport and support infantry. An attempt to push through our positions with a large amount of equipment was not successful. The endurance and combat skill of the Far Eastern tankers allowed them to crack enemy vehicles like nuts. As a result, the enemy retreated from the battlefield in fear and abandoned the equipment without even turning off the engines.
MRAP Oshkosh went to the naval infantry in almost perfect condition and was evacuated from no man's land for further detailed study. According to the commander of a tank company, Ruslan Kurbanov, “modern Oshkosh is inferior even to Soviet technology, since the presence of a huge number of computers and electrical equipment in battle can only interfere”

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Denis Davydov
[REGNUM] A Ukrainian inhabitant complains that they are pumping about an imminent explosion at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant from every iron: “like in February last year.” Indeed, besides officials, only the lazy did not write about the “Russian trucks with explosives” that allegedly had already arrived at the station, and it is easy to see that this is directed at a Western audience. Including vigorous exclamations on social networks with simultaneous translation into English.
In particular, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, reported sensational information to the British publication The New Statesman : the plant’s cooling pond was mined by Russian troops, and without cooling, nuclear reactors “ can melt in a period of ten hours to 14 days .” Or, according to the publication, the voltage will be raised in the power lines of the station, which will lead to a nuclear accident "in a shorter time."
Uniformity in this is not very respected by everyone, since at the moment it is difficult to draw an unambiguous conclusion about what was mined: the ZNPP power units, a pond dam, some unspecified "cooler" or another place. After all, even the IAEA statement that the agency was aware of some mines planted to defend the station was immediately interpreted as "information is being confirmed." However, on June 22, President Zelensky said that Ukraine was transferring “all available information and all evidence” to partners in Europe, America, China, Brazil, India, the Arab world, and Africa.
Why is it Russia?
According to Budanov, everything is very simple, a nuclear catastrophe is designed to stop the successful offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, or even act as a "preventive measure." Therefore, the Ukrainian media seem to be competing who will paint the consequences of the explosion at the ZNPP more terrible, expanding the “radioactive cloud” from a 30-kilometer zone around the station to the “second Chernobyl” in a few days, then to Turkey and even to the Urals. And adviser to the presidential office, Mikhail Podolyak, outlined the prospect of a catastrophe on an “all-European level”.
At the same time, the second wave of hysteria is already flaring up in social networks related to the need to take iodine. What kind of iodine, how to take it and how much - all this is a super-popular topic: in a street poll conducted by a well-known pediatrician Yevgeny Komarovsky, 90% of the respondents in Kiev said that they would drink iodine. Potassium iodide tablets in pharmacies have already become a terrible shortage, and GP-5 gas masks on Internet sites have risen in price from 150-200 hryvnia to 1300-1500 hryvnia.
Taking into account all the previous experience, we can confidently assume that the Ukrainian leadership is really aware of the plan of the terrorist attack at the ZNPP, under which public opinion is being prepared in advance. Only the plan is their own and it can be implemented differently. Since the design features of the VVER-1000 reactors and the current state of the station do not allow for a "nuclear catastrophe", even if mines are dragged directly into the reactor core.
Firstly, all power units are stopped, which means that there is nothing to melt there. According to the Institute for Safety Problems of Nuclear Power Plants of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, the maximum temperature of the fuel, which is continuously cooled, is about 300 degrees. At the same time, there is enough water in the cooling pond, its level, as officially stated by NNEGC Energoatom, is stable and does not depend on water from the Dnieper. Even if something does melt, it will only mean damage to the reactor, which can no longer be repaired.
Secondly, structurally the power unit is a super-protected facility. The reactor is located inside a hermetic "confinement", a shell of prestressed reinforced concrete one and a half meters thick, which can withstand an earthquake, external and internal explosion. In addition, after the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant, stress tests were carried out at Ukrainian plants (as well as around the world) to make sure that there was no possibility of a reactor explosion even if there was a loss of power supply, coolant, and other accidents.
By the way, electricity is supplied to the Zaporizhzhya NPP from the Ukrainian side via the 750-kilovolt Dneprovskaya power line, and intelligence has already come out on its own in its reliable information about the impending power surge.
Thirdly, even if, through painstaking and hard work, it is possible to blow up the stopped ZNPP reactor, then there is nothing to burn there. The VVER-1000 reactors are “water-cooled” reactors, they use completely non-combustible water as a coolant, moderator and neutron reflector. And the uranium pellets in the fuel are enclosed in a zirconium alloy metal shell. It is even technically difficult to imagine how all this can turn into a “radioactive cloud”, in its current form, media hysteria is classic yellow press nonsense.
The only reliable way to arrange some semblance of it is to launch an air strike on the station storage of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive materials (SHSF). This is about a hundred barrel-shaped reinforced concrete containers standing in the open air. In the event of a successful hit, some of them will open up and give rise to an official worldwide hysteria about an explosion at the ZNPP. With a contamination zone within the IDF site, but for an explosion in the information field, this is not so important.
Characteristic in this sense is the recommendation of one of the Ukrainian media resources: “it is advisable to use iodine half an hour before the explosion (100% protection) or in the first minutes after the alarm is announced (90% protection probability”). That is, about a sudden terrorist attack in Russia, everyone will be warned in half an hour. This will be the beginning of the mass use of iodine preparations by citizens of Ukraine, which is probably the main plus of this whole story.
This will not have any preventive effect, since the half-life of iodine-131 is only eight days, and the nuclear reaction in the ZNPP units has not occurred for more than six months. But it can have a beneficial effect on human health. It is widely known that iodine deficiency causes a number of serious diseases, in particular cretinism. And it is clearly manifested both in the construction of a case with a nuclear catastrophe, and in the reactions of Ukrainian society to it.
Thus, while creating a problem on a global scale, Ukrainians are simultaneously creating the ground for their recovery. At least for enlightenment in the brains after thousands of people get internal burns from taking pharmaceutical iodine dissolved in water, Lugol's solution and poisoning with potassium iodide.

Only a Russian like Badanov could support an invasion of a neighbor who never threatened anything BUT having an open and half decent society to compare the shithole lives of Russians to and blame the victim for it.
While Badanov wastes his time and rubles on these ridiculous posts, Ukraine is prepping the battelfield. They are going to kill every Russia unfortunate enough to be in Ukraine and it's coming soon.

[Regnum] On June 27, the Public Relations Center of the Federal Security Service announced the termination of the criminal case on the armed rebellion.
“The criminal case initiated on the fact of an armed rebellion by PMC Wagner has been terminated,” the security service said.
The reason for the completion of the criminal prosecution in the FSB was that the participants in the rebellion on June 24 stopped their actions directly aimed at committing a crime.
On the night of June 24, members of the Wagner PMC, led by businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin , entered Rostov-on-Don on military equipment. Another column headed towards Moscow.
On the morning of the same day, Russian President Vladimir Putin, during a video message, called what was happening a rebellion. The head of state also informed colleagues from a number of partner and allied countries about the development of events.
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko , with the consent of the Russian leader, held talks with Prigozhin and succeeded in stopping the movement of Wagner columns to the capital and de-escalating the situation. On the same evening, the fighters left Rostov-on-Don.
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov later said that Russian intelligence agencies were investigating whether Western intelligence was involved in the attempted rebellion. Earlier it became known that American intelligence received information about the impending rebellion, warned the US authorities, including Congress, but they did not transfer this data to their Russian colleagues.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Wagner PMC was fully provided by the state, including finances from the budget. For the period from May 2022 to May 2023 alone, more than 86 billion 262 million rubles were allocated for the maintenance of the Wagnerites. Thus, the company-owner of Concord earned 80 billion rubles on government orders.
The President noted that it is necessary to deal with the use of Concorde funds.
“I want to note and I want everyone to know about this: the content of the entire Wagner group was fully provided by the state ... From the Ministry of Defense, from the state budget, we fully funded this group,” the president said at a meeting with military personnel of the Ministry of Defense .
The head of state stressed that the Wagner group had always been treated with great respect, because, indeed, the fighters and commanders showed courage and heroism. Moreover, if the Russian military had not prevented the rebellion, it would have escalated into real chaos and civil war.
“I want us all to understand what happened and what would have happened if you hadn’t done what you did, and hadn’t fulfilled your military duty, and hadn’t shown loyalty to the oath and the Russian, Russian people. As always happens in such cases, the same thing happens always and everywhere: after armed rebellions, complete chaos and civil war ensue,” the head of state said.
He stressed that the fighters of the Ministry of Defense and other law enforcement agencies prevented the tragedy. Putin thanked the servicemen for their work.
According to media reports, the Concord company is owned by Yevgeny Prigozhin, who also headed the PMC. It was noted that the organization was engaged in the supply of food to Moscow schools, sanatoriums of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. The Concord food plant began serving the capital's schools in 2011.

Article in the NYT that Gen Surovikin knew about the Wagner coup/mutiny beforehand. The newspaper cited U.S. officials briefed on U.S. intelligence regarding the matter, and reported that the officials were "trying to learn if Gen. Sergey Surovikin, the former top Russian commander in Ukraine, helped plan Mr. Prigozhin's actions last weekend."
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] 1. Prigozhin, after negotiations with Lukashenko, agreed to withdraw his main demands and began to negotiate a way out of the current situation.
2. Lukashenko gave personal guarantees to Prigozhin that if he stops the columns, they will not be fired upon.
3. According to Lukashenko, there were up to 10,000 armed security officials on the defense of Moscow.
4. The columns were stopped after, at the request of Lukashenko, Prigozhin spoke with FSB director (Aleksandr) Bortnikov.
In general, the scheme for stopping the crisis is as follows.
By agreement with Putin, Lukashenka acted as the main mediator.
Through Yevkurov, he was able to contact Prigozhin and establish a stable communication channel.
During the negotiations, Lukashenko persuaded Prigozhin to drop his demands.
After Lukashenko gave personal security guarantees to Prigozhin, he agreed to stop the columns.
Lukashenko was able to organize a telephone conversation between Bortnikov and Prigozhin, where, apparently, the guarantees were confirmed.
After that, Prigozhin stopped the movement of columns to Moscow and the crisis moved into the stage of eliminating the consequences.
In the bottom line, during the crisis, Putin acted as an evil cop, and Lukashenko as a good cop.
Prigogine understood everything, and by the evening of June 24 he realized that his rebellion would not receive political support, so he withdrew his demands, for the sake of which the whole campaign against Rostov and Moscow was actually started.
In the presentation of Lukashenko, the people who stopped the fratricide near Moscow are Putin, Lukashenko, Yevkurov, Bortnikov.
More from Rozhin: How Lukashenko convinced Prigozhin Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin is in italics. Lukashenko's story about the course of negotiations with Putin and Prigozhin on June 24. The conversation with Putin took place in the morning, when, according to Lukashenko, the decision was made to kill Prigozhin and Wagner.
I ask Putin: "Where is he?"
"In Rostov".
I say: "Good. A bad peace is better than any war. Take your time. I'll try to contact him."
He once again says: "It's useless."
I say, "Okay, wait." Somewhere we talked, probably for half an hour.
Then he informed me that he was at the front. I remember his words: "You know, but at the front, oddly enough, it's better than it ever was."
I say: "You see, not everything is so sad."
At 11 o'clock... I should have found these phones...
I say: "How can I contact him? Give me the phone."
He says: "Most likely, the FSB has a telephone."
We have clarified. Installed by the middle of the day as many as three channels:
"At 11.00, he (Prigozhin) immediately picked up the phone.
That is, Yevkurov called him, gave him the phone: "Here, the President of Belarus is calling, will you talk ?"
Euphoria. Eugene has complete euphoria.
The first round of 30 minutes was spoken exclusively in swear language.
There were 10 times more swear words (I later analyzed) than normal vocabulary. He, of course, apologized and began to tell me in swear words."
"The guys are only from the front. They saw thousands of their dead guys. The guys are very offended, especially the commanders. And, as I understand it, they greatly influenced (I calculated this beforehand) on Prigozhin himself.
Yes, he is such, you know, a heroic guy, but he was pressured and influenced by those who led the assault squads and saw these deaths. And in this situation, having jumped out of there to Rostov, in such a half-mad state, I am having this dialogue with him."
I say: "Zhenya, no one will give you Shoigu or Gerasimov, especially in this situation. You know Putin no less than I. Secondly, he will not only meet with you - he will not talk on the phone due to this situation."
Silence.
"But we want justice! They want to strangle us! We will go to Moscow!"
I say: “Halfway you will be crushed like a bedbug. Despite the fact that the troops (Putin told me about this for a long time) are distracted on the corresponding front.”
Think about it, I say. "No" is such a euphoria."
“For a long time I convinced him. And in the end I said: “You know, you can do whatever you want. But don't be offended by me. The brigade is prepared for transfer to Moscow. And, as in 1941, you read books, an educated, intelligent person, we will defend Moscow. Because this situation is not only in Russia.
This is not only because this is our Fatherland. And because, God forbid, this turmoil would go all over Russia, and the prerequisites for this were colossal, we were next. People tried to pour mud on you and FSB director Bortnikov
PS Lukashenko also said that the fighters of PMC "Wagner" would advise the Belarusian military.
"If their commanders come to us and help us ... Experience. Listen, they are on the front line - assault squads. They will tell us what is important now. They went through it. They will tell you about weapons: which worked well, which did not. Both tactics and weapons, and how to attack, how to defend. This is priceless. This is what we need to take from the Wagnerites
"He also added that they keep their ears sharp in Belarus and there is nothing to be afraid of them.
Lukashenko also spoke about those who demand reprisals against Wagner.
Lukashenko on the demands to "plant" and "wet"
In Russia, as always, it always happens, jingoistic patriots appeared, I saw this trend, who began to howl and shout, condemn Putin, demand that he not stop criminal cases, catch, wet, plant.
This is what I would like to warn both us and Russian society against. And in this regard, when unfolding, as President Putin called it, this turmoil in Russia, somehow everyone was sitting under a broom.
Matvienko turned out to be courageous, Volodin, the Patriarch, a couple of people - that's all. And after a fight, we can wave our hands, oh, how we can, and advise: "Wet, wet and wet." Listen, well, there is someone to wet, especially you know where. There is someone to plant where it is needed.(c) Valentina Matviyenko is a Russian senator from St. Petersburg PS3. Zolotov also said today that Moscow would not have been handed over to Prigozhin, but there would have been a lot of blood. Viktor Zolotov is Director of the National Guard of Russia.
1. The maintenance of the Wagner group was fully provided by the state, from May 2022 to May 2023, 86 billion rubles were spent on the maintenance of Wagner. In a year through Voentorg "Concord" earned 80 billion rubles.
2. I hope that no one stole anything or stole less, but we will deal with this all.
In general, what I wrote about for several years was confirmed - the word "Private" in PMC "Wagner" is very conditional. It was armed and financed by the PMC by the state for use as a tool for implementing policies by other means. Until recently, the tool worked effectively.
But due to named and unnamed problems with the use of this tool, they almost caused serious injury to the state. Therefore, the audit and restructuring process has been launched. According to unofficial reports, Prigozhin will lose most of his business in Russia.
PS. Also announced some progress in the Russian Defense Ministry.
“From those who participate in the NMD and showed themselves in combat work there, the backbone of the leadership of the Ministry of Defense PS2 should be formed . The Russian Guard will again have tanks and heavy artillery.
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko explained the success of negotiations with the founder of PMC Wagner Yevgeny Prigozhin by the fact that the fighters of PMC Wagner did not allow casualties in Rostov-on-Don and by the mediation of the former head of Ingushetia, Deputy Minister of Defense of Russia Yunus-Bek Yevkurov, who was in headquarters of the Southern Military District together with Prigogine. Lukashenko said that the founder of PMC "Wagner" arrived in Belarus.
The "Caucasian Knot" wrote that on the evening of June 23, the founder of the PMC "Wagner" Yevgeny Prigozhin accused the Ministry of Defense of shelling the rear positions of the PMC and promised to "sort it out". Later, in the center of Rostov-on-Don near the command building of the Southern Military District, armored personnel carriers and vehicles of the Russian Guard appeared, Prigozhin himself, accompanied by armed fighters, entered the territory of the General Staff of the Southern Military District on the morning of June 24, where he voiced threats and ultimatums from the Deputy Minister of Defense to the former head of Ingushetia, Yunus-Bek Evkurov and Deputy Chief of the General Staff Vladimir Alekseev. In the evening of the same day, Prigozhin announced that he was stopping his campaign, it became known.
During the armed rebellion of Prigozhin, an explosion occurred near the headquarters of the Southern Military District in Rostov-on-Don, eyewitnesses reported that Wagner fighters installed barriers from anti-tank mines in the city center, and the building of the Rostov Rostelecom was also fired upon.
Information about the events in the south of Russia related to Prigozhin's rebellion has been collected by the "Caucasian Knot" on the page "Prigozhin's rebellion." The "Caucasian Knot" has also prepared a report " Putin and Kadyrov's reaction to Prigozhin's rebellion."
Lukashenko said that he himself offered to negotiate with Yevgeny Prigozhin during a conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin. According to him, Putin assured that the founder of PMC "Wagner" does not answer calls, the Belarusian state agency "Belta" reported today.
Lukashenko said that Yevkurov invited Prigozhin to the phone. “Yevkurov called him, gave him the phone: “Here, the President of Belarus is calling, will you talk?” - “I will be with Alexander Grigoryevich.” I hear their conversation. 30 in obscene language," Lukashenko's words are quoted in the publication of the Belta agency.
Lukashenko noted that during the first round of negotiations it was very important to get confirmation that as a result of the arrival of Wagner PMC in Rostov-on-Don, no one was injured in the city, according to him, Prigozhin swore to this. "And it turned out to be true. It was very important. Note, it was very important that they, having entered Rostov, did not touch anyone," the head of Belarus stressed.
Lukashenko said that there were four rounds of negotiations in total. He noted the role of Yevkurov in their organization. "In this regard, I must especially thank General Yunus-Bek Yevkurov. I must say that this general played a very important role. <...> A very brave man. He was seriously injured when he worked as a leader in Ingushetia. Very seriously. I remember Putin told me, he was barely pulled out of the grave. He is a military man, responsible, and he did a lot in the framework of these negotiations," Lukashenko said.
Yunus-Bek Yevkurov served as the head of Ingushetia in 2008-2019, and since July 8, 2019, he has been one of the deputy defense ministers, the "Caucasian Knot" biographical note says.
Lukashenko also said that Prigozhin is in Belarus. "Security guarantees, as he (the President of Russia, - note of the "Caucasian Knot") promised, were provided. <...> Yes, indeed, he is in Belarus today. As I promised, if you want some time with us to turn around and so on, we will help you," Lukashenko is quoted in today's publication of the agency.
In Belarus, they began to build camps to accommodate fighters of the PMC "Wagner" - this is reported by "Nimage".
The publication confirmed the construction of a camp in Osipovichi, Mogilev region for 8,000 fighters. According to them, there will be several camps.
We are working, we are already working today. Tomorrow, before lunch, the task is [to build],” said the source of the “Layout”. He added that the area of the camp will be 24,000 square meters, it will be designed for 8,000 beds. Another source of Nyorstka, close to the leadership of the Mogilev region, also confirmed that the authorities were instructed to build a camp for PMCs in the region.
By the way, Prigozhin was spotted at the Green City Hotel in Minsk. He drinks milk and looks thoughtfully out the window. The Wagner field camp near the Belarusian Osipovichi will not be the only one in Belarus. This is the most phenomenal strengthening of the union state in history.
Nuclear weapons and Wagner - Power.
Stoltenberg said that NAT is closely monitoring the development of the situation around the PMC "Wagner" and information about its alleged "potential redeployment to Belarus" and "are ready to respond quickly" It is reported that units of the Wagner PMC, along with regular weapons and military equipment, entered the territory of Belarus. The first columns of the Wagner Group have reached and are parked in Belarus. Posted military protection. Tomorrow normal work will start. Meeting with commanders early in the morning.
[Shafaq News] S&P Global Commodity Insights has revealed that Iraq and Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... are witnessing a decline in their market share in Asia as India and China opt for more affordable Russian crude.
According to preliminary data, Indian refiners imported a record high of approximately 2 million barrels per day (bpd) of Russian crude in May. This surpasses the combined purchases of Iraq and Saudi Arabia and displaces supplies from the Middle East, Africa, and some US sources.
S&P Global predicts that these imports will make up around 40% to 45%, equivalent to 2-2.5 million bpd, of India's total crude oil imports. This is on the assumption that Russian crude remains competitively priced compared to alternative sources.
Similarly, China's crude oil imports from Russia hit a new record of 2.30 million barrels per day (9.71 million metric tons) in May, exceeding Saudi Arabia's 1.73 million daily barrels.
China's imports from Russia are expected to continue growing, supported by increased supplies of the ESPO Blend crude.
In May, China received 29 cargoes of the total 39, while India received the remaining 10, according to data from Kpler and Platts cFlow ship and shipping data, which track commodities.
Addressing this trend, OPEC Secretary-General Haitham al-Ghais expressed no concerns, stating that "the market is open to all players."
Al-Ghais acknowledged Russia's prominence and significant role in the global oil markets, highlighting Malaysia and Asia as key importers. He further emphasized that the growing demand in the market accommodates all players.

[REGNUM] London's The Telegraph informed readers that a missile defense network would be created in Europe capable of intercepting " Putin's hypersonic missiles." This British newspaper said the head of the defense concern MBDA Eric Beranger. He claims that the firm has already begun developing such missile defense systems.
MBDA, formed on the basis of British, French and Italian aircraft and missile companies, is considered one of the leading manufacturers of missile systems in the EU and the United Kingdom. To develop anti-hypersonic missile defense systems, the concern additionally connected military-industrial complex companies from France, Italy, Germany and the Netherlands, Beranger said.
The result of the development is that the new missile defense system is to be deployed throughout Europe and will be able to "shoot down missiles that move at a speed of 6900 miles per hour," The Telegraph emphasizes. It was announced that the first developments under the new program will be presented in the next two to three years.
In reality, the introduction of new developments should take a much longer time, the military expert and author of the Russian Engineer Telegram channel Alexey Vasilyev is sure . “There is a difference between the development of the first types of weapons and their mass production. That is, until they are produced, until they begin to be massively supplied to the troops, in any case, at least five to seven years must pass , ”explained the expert IA Regnum .
THE MAIN THING IS MANEUVERS
The main question is not the timing of the development of new missile defense systems, but what kind of hypersonic weapons they should counter, the expert explained.
“Hypothetically, it is quite possible to produce such systems. In practice, as usual, everything is somewhat more complicated, ” Vasilyev notes.
By itself, the interception by missile defense systems of missiles operating at hypersonic speeds (including those at the indicated 6,900 miles per hour or 11,100 km/h) is technically feasible. “But the question is not to shoot down missiles that fly at hypersonic speeds. Here we are talking about missiles that maneuver at such a speed, ” the expert emphasized.
When a target simply flies at hyperspeed, everything is quite simple: a lead point is selected, calculated, and a missile defense system is sent to this point, which can fly even without guidance, Vasiliev explained. But if a hypersonic missile maneuvers, then it is much more difficult to bring it down.
“It will be necessary to correct the movement of anti-missiles. At the same time, an important point is that a rocket, when it flies at hypersonic speeds, is surrounded by a cloud of heated air, plasma forms at such a speed ,” the expert pointed out. “ Neither infrared rays, nor radar channels, nor optical ones pass through the plasma. Therefore, there are difficulties with detection.
"DAGGER", "ZIRCON" OR "VANGUARD"
So, in order to develop such a missile defense system, you must first solve all these difficulties. But, Vasiliev notes, in principle, this is not impossible.
The British-French concern MBDA is one of the few arms manufacturers that is really capable of creating and releasing such missile defense systems, the source explained. It is this company that produces Storm Shadow missiles , which have become a serious test for Russian air defense systems in the NVO zone. Technical capabilities allow the European firm to find a way to counter the Russian "hypersound", the military expert believes.
The question is what kind of our weapons the Europeans are trying to counter. “If the anti-missiles are designed to intercept the Kinzhal or Zircon complexes, this is one story, and the Avangard is another matter,” says Vasiliev. - Avangard flies at speeds close to the first space one. There, acceleration is much greater - to enter the earth's orbit. Accordingly, the time of missile detection, reaction time and decision-making is reduced.”
Therefore, the speed of the anti-missile should be correspondingly higher. “And it’s still not very clear what kind of threats they want to counter,” Vasiliev added.
THE AMERICANS RELIED ON "KINETIC INTERCEPTION"
The Europeans, we note, are not the first to attend to the creation of new missile defense systems to combat the "Russian hypersonic threat." The American agency DARPA, which is responsible for advanced defense research at the Pentagon, presented the concept of a hypersonic missile interceptor back in 2018.
The concept developed by DARPA was called the Glide Breaker. We are talking about the creation of a small aircraft that should disable hypersonic missiles using "kinetic interception" (in other words, a direct collision of the vehicle with a hypersonic missile), The Drive portal noted . The layout of the device does not provide for a separate warhead, as in the design of anti-missiles. No additional data was provided to DARPA.
But the fact is obvious: the United States and European countries are looking for an answer to the development of hypersonic weapons by Russia, in which it is clearly ahead of the West so far.
The Russian air defense system for the first time hit the aircraft of the Armed Forces of Ukraine without the participation of the operator
There are other - in addition to those that have become known - the concept of countering hypersonic missiles, but the details are kept secret by the Americans and their allies. The implementation of "anti-hypersound" in life is complicated by a number of factors.
PROBLEMS WITH STRATEGY
“Western countries can run into weaknesses in their own defense strategy,” Vasilyev notes. He recalled that Western air defense and missile defense systems are based primarily on the use of air-launched missiles. “That is, military aircraft perform air defense functions, and ground-based anti-aircraft missile systems exist to cover objects,” the military expert explained.
This approach differs from ours - in Russia, ground-based air defense systems are more common and cover much larger areas.
“They have the basis of air defense - air superiority. To create a missile defense system, you need to reconsider their entire concept of warfare, Vasilyev points out. “ And since the development, production and introduction of new missile defense systems into the troops will take time, the West will strategically approach the solution of the problem differently.”
Most likely, emphasis will be placed on knocking out carriers of hypersonic weapons from us. That is, to prevent the launch of missiles, and not to intercept already fired missiles . “The bet will be placed on this. But in parallel, the development of anti-missile defense systems will also go on, therefore, in any case, this fact should not be ignored , ”adds the expert.
RACE OF MEANS OF DEFENSE AND ATTACK
On the other hand, Vasiliev notes, Russian developers see attempts by the West to develop new missile defense systems and, accordingly, will increase the capabilities of hypersonic weapons.
Moreover, it is precisely the presence of such missiles today that allows Russia, if necessary, to launch a preventive strike against NATO forces and disable the enemy's nuclear arsenal.
“There is nothing surprising in the fact that the West is developing missile defense systems, no.
There is a usual fight between "sword" and "shield". They are developing means of protection, we will modernize our missile weapons, ” the expert sums up.
The refinement of existing funds may begin, in order to master their management in a plasma cloud, Vasiliev predicts. “It will be difficult, it will require the introduction of various technical solutions and “crutches”, but this is possible ,” the expert believes. We need to use more maneuver, use quantitatively more complexes, work on unpredictable trajectories of a possible missile attack, in a word, make it as difficult as possible to intercept our hypersonic weapons, the interlocutor listed.
“We have room to develop, so there will certainly be opportunities to counter Western missile defense systems when they begin to take over on duty,” predicts Vasiliev.

MIM-104 system, AN/MPQ-65 (GaN)-based AESA, PAC-3 missiles, and the secret sauce AN/MSQ-132 control & routing etc.
lets any sensor (best detecor) for any guidance (best intercept) to steer any missile (best probability of kill), and hand it off mid flight mid fight, as geometry and such change the solutions.
It even includes a Patriot battery firing based off a AWACs sensor targeting and the missile to be grabbed by an F-35 and terminal guided to the kill.
And thats assuming the launching aircraft lives long enough. The Bears that launch these things are stayin way back in Russia where the Ukes cant shoot them because of politics. Not the case if they come rolling into Poland. Or Finland.
