  14. Former US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has suggested that supporters of the man who defeated her in the 2016 election, Donald Trump, need “formal deprogramming” so Washington politicians can be set free from their intimidating “extremism.” “So many of those extremists – those MAGA extremists – take their marching orders from Donald Trump, who has no credibility left by any measure,” Clinton said in an interview aired by CNN on Thursday. “He’s only in it for himself . . ., and when do they break with him?

  33. In my opinion, the supply of heavy armored vehicles to the Zelensky regime will not change anything drastically, even the supply of military aircraft will have little effect, but the constant escalation from the Western elites and the prolongation of the conflict may force Moscow to act more radically, to the point of using tactical nuclear weapons to send a clear signal for Western elites that it is necessary to stop before it's too late. The question is, what I also talked about on my channel, with such a development, will the West stop, or will it go to a greater escalation, up to a full-scale nuclear exchange with the Russian Federation?

  41. Here in Russia we have a lot of new data today on the course of hostilities in the special military operation zone, including that Wagner PMC units have taken more than a third in the city of Artemovsk (Ukrainian name Bakhmut), and continue to push the Ukrainian military out of their positions. On my channel I also spoke about the successes of the Russian side in the direction of Seversk, Bakhmut and Vugledar, but during the day there were too many updates in almost all directions. For example, this afternoon it became known that as a result of the offensive, Krasnaya Gora is under the complete control of the Russian side, as is Mariinka, a suburb of Donetsk and the settlement of Sin'kovka too, northeast of Kupyansk. Ukrainian units also lost control over Paraskovievka. In addition, Russian Volunteers of the assault detachments, with fire support from the troops and artillery of the Southern Group of Forces, have taken control of Nikolaevka in the Donetsk People's Republic. At the same time, dozens of Ukrainian soldiers were captured in the Mariinka, according to telegram channels, citing sources in the combat units participating in the operation. There are still not officially confirmed reports that some units of the Ukrainian army have begun to leave Bakhmut. It seems that the Ukrainian defense lines are collapsing along the entire front line.

  44.  @johnniblueeyes2786  This opinion was expressed on Saturday by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, speaking in Budapest with a speech about the political priorities of his government. The Russian media may have interpreted Orban's words, but the point is that he did not rule out the possibility that the EU could send "peacekeeping forces" to Ukraine. That would mean war, a direct military confrontation with Russia, wouldn't it?
