"Serbia will provide humanitarian aid to Ukraine to overcome the consequences of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant explosion. This includes medicines.

The Serbian government will also organize a sports rehabilitation camp for youth and children's teams of the Dynamo Kyiv Football Academy."

VIDEO:

"After four years in office, British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace is considering leaving the government, The Times reports.

He could be replaced by Chief Secretary of the Treasury John Glen, Security Minister Tom Tugendhat or former Foreign Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan."

AND

"Ben Wallace confirmed his plans to resign and said he would not run in the next election

At the same time, he added that he was not going to resign early and create the need for additional elections.

One of the reasons for his decision is that the British prime minister failed to convince US President Joe Biden and other leaders that Wallace should become the next NATO secretary general."

British intelligence has reacted to the dismissal in Russia of Major General Ivan Popov, commander of the 58th Army, who allegedly reported to the command on the difficult situation in Zaporizhzhia region.

In the leaked video, intended for his subordinates, Popov sharply criticized the leadership of the Russian Defense Ministry, saying that it "attacked us from the rear, brutally decapitated the army at the most difficult and tense moment."

The ministry adds that his statements largely echo the complaints of Wagner group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin before his mutiny"

Surprised not to see China on this list, but I would expect about 70% positive and about 20% negative to make it one of the countries with the most favorable view of Russia.

Yes, just go into the advanced editor and hit "select files from your computer" (on my iphone I have to hit closer to the top of that box) and it will allow you to upload it from your phone.

"British Storm Shadow missiles and American GMLRS like to find senior Russian officers and generals in the depths of Ukrainian occupied territory.

Another Russian brigade commander, Colonel Maksym Kharlamov, who commanded the 96th separate reconnaissance brigade of the Russian Armed Forces, was destroyed"

Oleksiy Arestovych, ex aide of Zelensky.

Formerly a member of a far-Right organisation in Ukraine, he’s been accused of spouting “propaganda” and lacking expertise. He has been criticised for a lack of expertise, and for lying.

He’s even admitted it himself. In 2017, three years after the Donetsk and Luhansk regions were partially occupied by Russia-backed separatists, Arestovych wrote on Facebook that he had “lied a lot since the spring of 2014”, tweaking numbers of people who had been wounded on both sides, for instance. He added: “It was pure propaganda work, prompted by Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine.”

Arestovych also made a name for himself off the back of his public predictions – including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

In 2019, he described in detail what a Russian invasion might look like. “An invasion by Russian troops from our borders, the siege of Kyiv, using troops built up [in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions], transfer of troops via Crimea, taking of the Kakhovka reservoir to give Crimea water. An attack from Belarusian territory. Setting up of new ‘People’s Republics’. Attacks on critical infrastructure. Use of paratrooper forces. This is what a big war will look like,” he said, calling 2022 the most likely year for the conflict.

According to Bortnik, Arestovych was not a lone voice. “Almost every serious Ukrainian political scientist predicted [the war]. Arestovych is great at PR, but he is not a forecaster nor an insider, nor a political or military expert. He is a screenwriter, coach and populariser,” Bortnik said.

Bortnkik added that Arestovych “makes a lot of predictions and only some of them come true. He predicted Russia would collapse in 2014. He said the Kerch bridge [connecting Russia to Crimea] would never be built and that Ukraine would regain control over the Luhansk and Donetsk regions by November 2014.” None of these predictions came true.


Maybe they can interview steven seagal next about his predictions and publish it.
