The Russian leadership is now pulling more air defense assets to Moscow, Valdai, and Putin’s bridge across the Kerch Strait – at the expense of air defense elsewhere.
In the Moscow region alone, they have amassed hundreds of launchers for S-400, S-500, and Pantsir systems. Nearly 90 launchers have been redeployed to Valdai from other regions of Russia, and a special air defense division is also being formed there to safeguard the peace and quiet of the Russian chief.
To compare, there are only a couple of launchers per direction across Russia and around their other cities. Those are their priorities. They are protecting their power – the source of this war. More than 60 Russian regions are already experiencing fuel shortages. There has also been a sharp increase in gas and diesel prices – if they are available at all.
Russian security services have even proposed postponing or cancelling altogether the ritual of electing “United Russia” to the State Duma. Their latest imitation of elections was scheduled for September, and intelligence reports now show that Russia itself is not confident about what will be happening by September.
There are many difficulties – all because Putin refuses to end his war and to hear our proposals for a meeting, genuine negotiations, and a dignified peace.
NO!
The central factor behind the creation, cover-up, and global spread of #COVID19 was not USAID funding. https://t.co/AVXHUIAvmo
• The central factor was Xi Jinping's direct control and the CCP's decades-long clandestine unrestricted bioweapons program.
• The key evidence was exposed as early as 2020 in the #YanReports:
The laboratory development of SARS-CoV-2 was built upon the Zhoushan bat coronaviruses ZC45 and ZXC21, viral backbones discovered and uniquely controlled by the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA).
• Yes, there were people in the United States who promoted dangerous collaborations, ignored warnings, funded high-risk research, and even helped suppress investigations.
Those actions deserve full accountability.
• But without CCP’s
- state secrecy apparatus
- military-civil fusion programs
- nationwide censorship and information control
- destruction and concealment of evidence
- transnational influence and cover-up networks
- state immunity and diplomatic protection…
COVID-19 could never have evolved into a historic catastrophe that killed millions and reshaped the world order!
• The CCP invested vastly more money, manpower, intelligence resources, and political power into these programs than all foreign research grants combined.
❗️Do not focus only on who helped.
• Focus on who designed the system, controlled the system, concealed the system, and ultimately exploited the pandemic.
‼️The CCP was not a passive recipient of foreign funding.
• It was the architect, the operator, and the ultimate beneficiary of the entire enterprise.
Цю війну час завершувати. Але російський керівник хоче воювати. Тому працюють українські санкції за цю агресію. Минулої ночі наші дрони подолали відстань близько 1000 кілометрів до регіону Петербурга – до арсеналів ВМФ ворога та бази в Кронштадті. А також наші далекобійні санкції подолали близько 500 кілометрів до Краснодарського регіону і вдарили по нафтобазі. Важливі ��езультати спільної роботи воїнів ЗСУ, СБУ та ГУР. Росії треба завершувати свою війну і зупиняти удари по життю. Будь-які прояви несправедливості проти України матимуть справедливу відповідь. Дякую нашим воїнам за влучність.
It is time to end this war. But Russia’s ruler wants to keep fighting. That is why Ukrainian sanctions against this aggression are working. Last night, our drones covered a distance of about 1,000 kilometers to the St. Petersburg region – to the enemy navy’s arsenals and a base in Kronstadt. Our long-range sanctions also reached about 500 kilometers into the Krasnodar region – and hit an oil depot. These are important results of the joint efforts by warriors from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine. Russia must end its war and stop its attacks on life. Any manifestation of injustice against Ukraine will receive a just response. I thank our warriors for their precision.
