Meanwhile, the second phase of the Ukrainian counter-offensive, announced yesterday, began with a crushing defeat on the Zaporizhia front near Rabotino. Ukraine threw its strategic reserves into organizing a breakthrough, and dozens of armored vehicles remained on fire on the battlefield.

How it is going with North Korea and Africa poor countries,the only nations which are still doing business with Russia,I hope well as even some delegations from Africa did not attend the Russia-Africa summit,from 43 just 17 delegations and they even call on Putin to revive the grain deal as soon as possible.

No matter how long it takes it has started and it will continue for as long as the zones are liberated meanwhile how are my fellow Moscow people enjoying the drones,yet there has not been casualties but very soon there will be and at a huge scale,just wait,that is what will make Russia people think that this war has also got to do with us and will remove their opinion so far that this war does not belong to us.

What's next from you, that you heard that Putin eats babies for breakfast? I can't imagine how such outlandish claims, completely devoid of even slimmer of truth, can achieve anything besides people seeing you for a fool/propagandist. Educate yourself

We are not sure of his eating habits, however he is effectively convicted for deporting children. do not try to make him look like an innocent person, he is not.

[...] responsible for the war crime of unlawful deportation of population (children) and that of unlawful transfer of population (children) from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation (under articles 8(2)(a)(vii) and 8(2)(b)(viii) of the Rome Statute). The crimes were allegedly committed in Ukrainian occupied territory at least from 24 February 2022.

India's oil imports from Russia hit new high in June but growth slows
Intelligence report accuses China of acting as sanctions backdoor for Russia

GDP growth may exceed 2% this year and consumer price inflation may not rise above 5% in annual terms, Mishustin told Putin at a meeting at the Kremlin. The International Monetary Fund expects the Russian economy to grow 0.7% this year.

The news says that someone told Putin that their economy is super. Would anyone tell him otherwise in public? (you know... would you like a Kremlin tea or would you prefer to jump out the window?)

After all of crackdowns, risks of social unrest in Russia were at a minimum but Prigozhin's march on Moscow proved that social unrest can come from somewhere where nobody expected, from ultra-right hawks. With UA military counteroffensive loosing all steam, and with just around 4 weeks left until September rains, it appears that efforts are being applied at social unrest from ultra-rights. Ironically it attempts to stir a reaction from hawks that call for massive bombardments and general mobilization, in response to some drone strikes at empty buildings. Huh

Edit:
And are you seriously calling for mass targeted killing of civilians at a huge scale towards the end there?

The most interesting thing about the "march to keep my army" of Prigo is that nobody gave a shit one way or the other. The RF is in such as state of "embracing the suck" that they are socially zombies.

RE mass killings, as of now, the only ones that have engaged in extended war crimes are certain sections of the RF army and the chief Psychos.

We need a durable peace. One of the things that may help is the fact that the RF is "demilitarising" itself by sucking into an useless war most of the old soviet arsenal and a large part of their modern war means, which cannot be replaced at pace. Some people out there spend a lot of time looking at the stores of old equipment and these are going really quick.
