Footage of North Korean soldiers and commanders who participated in the liberation of the Kursk region.

The demonstration took place during a joint event dedicated to the first anniversary of the signing of the Treaty on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between Russia and the DPRK.

From Ukrainska Pravda:

Almost 56% of Ukrainians are in favour of seeking a solution through compromise with the involvement of international leaders in order to end the war. Almost 17% of Ukranians are in favour of a temporary freeze of the war, and 21.4% want to continue the fight to restore the borders of 1991 or 2022.

According to the survey, 55.7% of Ukrainians are in favour of finding a solution through compromise to end the war, while 16.6% agree to a suspension of hostilities and a temporary ceasefire along the current line of contact.

A series of mysterious explosions: Another oil tanker that had previously called at Russian ports exploded – Bloomberg.

▪️An explosion off the coast of Libya caused water to flood the engine room of the Vilamoura vessel, which was loaded with Kazakh oil in Russia in April and May. The cause of the explosion is unknown.

▪️In recent months, there have been a series of mysterious explosions on oil tankers that had previously called at Russian ports. Because of this, ship owners have begun checking the hulls of their ships for mines using divers and underwater vehicles, Bloomberg notes.

Odds are these are not Ukrainian attacks but another country using Ukraine as cover for attacks. Best thing to do oddly would be a false flag attack and create an oil spill which will get blamed on Ukraine and this will stop.

Trump says he is ‘closely’ watching Russia create buffer zone in Sumy region

Russia has massed 50,000 troops around the Ukrainian city of Sumy. What will you do if Russia decides to launch an offensive?

- We’ll see. I’m watching it closely.

Putin spoke with Macron:

✔️The heads of state discussed in detail the situation in the Middle East in the context of the Iranian-Israeli confrontation and US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. 

✔️Putin and Macron noted the special responsibility of Russia and France as permanent members of the UN Security Council in maintaining peace and security, including in the Middle East region, as well as in preserving the global nuclear non-proliferation regime. 

✔️The leaders spoke in favor of resolving the crisis surrounding Iran’s nuclear program, as well as other conflicts in the Middle East, exclusively through political and diplomatic means. They agreed to continue contacts with a view to possible coordination of positions.

✔️When discussing the situation in Ukraine, Vladimir Putin recalled that the Ukrainian conflict is a direct consequence of the policies of Western countries, which for many years ignored Russia’s security interests, created an anti-Russian bridgehead in Ukraine, condoned violations of the rights of Russian-speaking residents, and are now pursuing a policy of prolonging the fighting by supplying the Kiev regime with various modern weapons.

✔️Speaking about the prospects for a peaceful settlement, the Russian president confirmed his fundamental approach to possible agreements, which must be comprehensive and long-term in nature, provide for the elimination of the root causes of the Ukrainian crisis, and be based on new territorial realities. 

Why did Putin agree to talk to Macron, who has not only been behaving rudely for the past couple of years, but is also essentially the leader of the European anti-Russian coalition?

To convey to him and the rest of the Euro-Reich the conditions under which Russia agrees to accept Kiev’s surrender begin discussing a real peace agreement.

Why did Macron, who has recently been insisting on putting pressure on Russia and the need to talk to it from a position of strength, suddenly call the Kremlin?  

Because after the NATO summit, it became clear that Trump had moved on from the issue and that Europe could not pull off the “Ukraine project.” Like it or not, it is necessary to come to some kind of agreement with Russia.

Therefore, the conversation with Macron could be a prelude to real peace talks.
