🇷🇺🇺🇦Russian troops are developing a large-scale offensive in the east of the Kharkiv region, follows from the published satellite images of the Telegram channel ZOKA's Channel.
The last few days have brought the Russian army a lot of success:
Reporters pressed Lavrov and Rubio with questions on Ukraine and Iran, but Lavrov replied, "Speak louder," while Rubio smiled. The 35-minute meeting ended without statemen
🇺🇸⚡🇷🇺Y otra reunioncita más justo cuando Ucrania está contra las cuerdas otra vez,fingir que se quiere llegar a un acuerdo de paz solo para darle tiempo para que Zelensky se rearme y pueda tener un respiro y así Rusia baje la presión,parece que Rusia ya aprendió,la cara de Rubio
Embarrassing moment of truth for Russia today during @SecRubio’s meeting with Sergey Lavrov, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation when a reporter asked Rubio if he would press Russia today about working with Iran to target and kill US soldiers.
Rubio was silent. Russia mocked the death of US soldiers by saying, “Speak Louder”.
We need to get serious as a country about having zero tolerance for the Islamic-communist alliance.

LIEU: How many US troops have been wounded in the Iran war?
WALTZ: My understanding is over 100
LIEU: That number is wrong. It's actually 482. It's not surprising to me you didn't know the answer to that. The reason you are here today is because you were fired by the president from your former position as National Security Adviser. You disclosed classified information that harmed American pilots and put them at risk!
NEW: The Kremlin continues to reiterate Russia’s commitment to its maximalist war aims of complete Ukrainian capitulation while Russian forces fail to achieve operationally significant gains.
Other Key Takeaways:
The Kremlin appears to be setting conditions for potential mobilization and is preparing for possible civil unrest in Russia resulting from mobilization.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is attempting to downplay Russia’s economic problems despite the ongoing fuel shortage crisis and broader Russian economic decline.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky appointed Ukrainian General Staff Deputy Chief Major General Ihor Skybyuk as the chief of the Ukrainian General Staff on July 22 to replace Major General Andriy Hnatov.
Ukrainian forces struck two additional logistics facilities of Russia’s largest online retailer Wildberries (roughly equivalent to Russia’s version of Amazon) overnight on July 21 to 22. Russia launched one Iskander-M ballistic missile, three Kh-59/69 cruise missiles, and 216 drones against Ukraine overnight.
Russian forces recently advanced in the Kostyantynivka direction.
🇻🇪 Muy recomendable este artículo del Financial Times sobre el manejo de los ingresos petroleros de Venezuela en 2026.
El reportaje estima que EE.UU. ha recibido alrededor de USD 13.000 millones por exportaciones petroleras venezolanas, sin dar registro público de como se ha utilizado.
Me gustaría añadir, que no todos estos recursos han sido "recibidos". Parte de la historia podría obedecer, simplemente, a rezagos entre las ventas, los cobros y las transferencias. Como decía George Shultz: "Lo que para un economista es un rezago, para un político es una pesadilla."
Precisamente por eso, sería muy importante que se publiquen los informes auditados de KPMG, de manera que el país pueda conocer con claridad el origen, destino y calendario de esos recursos. La transparencia fortalece la credibilidad y evita especulaciones innecesarias.
Una lectura muy recomendable.

Ossoff demolishes Hegseth -- then Hegseth has an epic crashout
Sen. Jon Ossoff used Hegseth's premature declarations of victory against him during his Senate testimony, repeatedly reading back statements Hegseth made in March and April about Iran's military being "destroyed" and "obliterated" and asking him if he stands by them.
After Hegseth spent five minutes dodging, Ossoff concluded by noting that "you will not answer whether your statement made on the 14th day of the war that Iran's military was 'destroyed and made combat ineffective' was a truthful statement to the American people as you sit here and ask for tens of billions more."
A reeling Hegseth then crashed out in response to a similar line of questioning from Sen. Gary Peters, snapping at him that "you have Trump derangement syndrome!"
Peters replied to Hegseth that "you, sir, are the failure," as Susan Collins brought the hearing to an abrupt close.
Here's all of Ossoff's questioning followed by Hegseth's tantrum:
🇺🇸🇻🇪 | Estados Unidos ha recaudado aproximadamente 13 mil millones de dólares de las exportaciones de petróleo venezolano desde que tomó el control de las ventas de petróleo del país en enero, pero ha proporcionado poca transparencia sobre adónde ha ido el dinero.
Aunque Washington inicialmente dijo que mantendría los fondos en fideicomiso para Venezuela, los funcionarios han dado explicaciones contradictorias desde entonces.
El presidente Trump ha dicho que Estados Unidos está "ganando mucho dinero" con el petróleo, mientras que el Departamento de Estado dice que miles de millones han sido devueltos a Venezuela bajo estricta supervisión. Los registros públicos muestran que solo 300 millones de dólares han sido oficialmente divulgados.
Los economistas dicen que la recuperación económica de Venezuela, más débil de lo esperado, sugiere que gran parte de los ingresos del petróleo no han llegado al país.
Jonny Two- Terms has Hegseth sweating through his caked on High-T makeup:
OSSOFF: You stated on March 8th on day nine of the war on 60 minutes, you assured the American people of Iranian surrender. Does that remain your prediction?
HEGSETH: They won’t have a nuclear weapon.
OSSOFF: So to be clear you won’t answer the questions… and be truthful to the American people when you’re asking for tens of billions more?
Imagínate ser Argentino, ir riéndote de los españoles toda la semana y no son capaces de ni llegar a su área y ahora sale este video de que tenían todo preparado para celebrar 😭😭
Vocês viram isso?
Um cara comum, 5 anos de namoro com a “mulher da vida dele”. Aí chega um DM simples de um jogador futebol, eles começam a conversar e ela larga o relacionamento em duas semanas. Dois meses depois o jogador já começa a ignorar ela.
Brutal demais
🚨BREAKING KEY MOMENT:
Jon Ossoff nailed Hegseth to the wall and forced him to confess UNDER OATH that they never actually "destroyed" or "obliterated" Iran's missile threat.
Trump's 'mission accomplished' moment just crumbled on live TV.
Pete Hegseth's career might be DOA.
