Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to replace Sergei Shoigu as defense minister, the Kremlin has announced. The 68-year-old Shoigu is a long-standing ally of Putin’s and has been in the role since 2012. BBC News reports: https://flip.it/t8AIUQ #News#WorldNews#Russia#Putin#RussiaUkraineWar
"Countries within the #EuropeanUnion, as members of #NATO could potentially safeguard the airspace above #Ukraine, even from within the confines of the North Atlantic Alliance... German legislators posit that the precedent set by #Israel, where the #US, #France, the #UK, and other nations aided in repelling an Iranian air assault, serves as evidence that such a decision would not implicate NATO nations in the conflict...
The Kremlin dictator does not have strong leaders, so he took a “gray horse” - Andrei Belousov , whom no one had even heard of until today.
Apparently, his main task as head of the Ministry of Defense will be to organize the transfer of the country to a military footing, strengthening the production of weapons, and the like. A purely nominative and not decisive figure. #AureFreePress#News#press#headline#Russia#Putin
In the Moscow region, a drunk car driver flew into a huge fenced-in hole of water on the road. The “crater” or “pool” is already six months old, but the authorities apparently don’t care about it.
Where exactly this pool for drunk ladies is located is unknown, but it is quite logical that the situation is typical. What for the Moscow region, what for Saratov... #AureFreePress#News#press#headline#Ukraine#Russia
Alexey Milchakov, war criminal, co-leader and co-founder of the Rusich Group, that operated from 2022 within the Wagner Group, calls for the killing of prisoners of war.
He says that he hasn't taken Ukrainians prisoner since 2014, but killed them right away.
Milchakov is known for torturing and executing Ukrainian prisoners of war. He has repeatedly been photographed against the backdrop of dead Ukrainian soldiers. #AureFreePress#News#press#headline#Ukraine#Russia
#Russia is now at peak #military-industrial capacity, practically zero unemployment, pay hikes because not enough labour force to man the weapons factories. 35% of government spending go to military. 7.1% of GDP. All of it to go up in smoke in #Ukraine
However, if we look at the numbers, this output only matches current EU military spending. Countries which are on avg spending less than 2% on it currently.
Tell me again how Ukraine supported only by Europe can’t possibly win?
