The effectiveness of air defense depends not only on the type of weapons used, but also on the skillful actions of the people who use these weapons. Yesterday, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine to Colonel Serhiy Yaremenko, commander of the 96th Anti-Aircraft Missile Brigade of the Center Air Command, under whose command it was possible to repel massive air attacks on Kiev in May-June, without allowing any of the more than 200 targets to be accurately hit targets and have already destroyed 13 Russian "invincible" Kh-47 Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles. If this is not the merit of the "Patriot" air defense system, then we can assume that the Ukrainians shoot down the vaunted "daggers" with small arms.

Only in Russia after this, three scientists from the Novosibirsk Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (ITAM), who were involved in the creation of the Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, were arrested. The authorities accuse them of treason. Among the scientists are Valery Zvegintsev, Alexander Shiplyuk and Anatoly Maslov.

People are always selfish and talk a lot and inconsistently, even if they are on the verge of an abyss. Our climate is changing very dramatically due to the predatory attitude of man to nature. And we are still discussing whether it is worth correcting the situation or not, because not everyone is ready to change their habits. Humanity will never be ready for this. Here you need to act tough, otherwise the consequences can be catastrophic. In any case, gasoline engines must be abandoned, this problem has long been overripe.

Now the population of this country can only remember about the economic and military power of Russia. There was no need to attack Ukraine. A fatal mistake of the great empire, which, in a collision with a small Ukraine, became weak and vulnerable.

Today, the Russian currency has depreciated to 94.94 against the euro and 11.98 against the yuan, and analysts expect it to fall further. Even the not entirely successful campaign of the Wagnerites against Moscow influences the current fall. Because the shock of the Russians was so great that the panic continues to this day. Everyone suddenly realized that the king was naked and not in control of the situation, a sick and weak old man.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine are now conducting an offensive carefully and systematically, and have not yet committed their main reserves to the battle based on the terrain and the deep defense of the enemy. The south of Ukraine is an almost bare flat steppe, divided by forest plantations and irrigation canals. The Russians stuffed the entire front line of defense for many kilometers with mines, making continuous minefields. To attack in such a situation, not having superiority in the air, not every even a very strong army would risk. But the Armed Forces of Ukraine are gradually advancing and even incurring much smaller losses than the defending Russians.

But at this stage, the main task of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is not to win back the maximum of its territory. At this stage, the enemy is bled. There is an identification and destruction by pinpoint strikes of ammunition depots, command posts, the accumulation of equipment and manpower of the enemy, the identification and destruction of artillery, air defense, rocket launchers, armored vehicles. The invaders will soon simply have nothing to fight with. They will still find live untrained meat, but they already have big problems with military equipment. Therefore, after the Russian defense is broken, the entire front will quickly crumble and they will run. Therefore, not only will Ukraine not need 50 years to return its territories, in general, everything should be decided by autumn.

I do not consider Elon Musk a specialist in the cryptocurrency market, and therefore I am almost indifferent to his advice and predictions. It's quite difficult to be an expert in several different fields these days. His large fortune allows him to treat cryptocurrencies as a hobby, and he uses this to attract the attention of millions of people.

It must be clearly understood that it was Russia that attacked Ukraine, and Ukraine is only defending itself. In order to make Russia less able to continue attacking the territory of Ukraine and bombing it every day and shelling peaceful cities with cruise and ballistic missiles, sanctions were imposed both on oil and gas, since they brought Russia the most profit, and on goods that can be raw materials for the military-industrial complex. Therefore, in order for the war to end quickly, it is necessary to inflict a military defeat on the aggressor country, that is, Russia, and for this Ukraine needs even more help with weapons.

The cessation of the supply of weapons to Ukraine will lead to the fact that Ukraine will be conquered and cease to exist as a state, and the people of Ukraine will be killed and tortured to a large extent by the occupiers, and some will be forcibly resettled across the territory of Russia.

But you don't seem to care about tens and hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians killed, the main thing for you is to have cheap and bloody Russian gas.

June is already ending. Although a new bullish period has not arrived, however, positive news has influenced the current rise in prices for cryptocurrency. The price of bitcoin has risen above 30 thousand dollars and this is already not bad. But the second half of the summer almost never had a good price increase. This is due to the period of summer holidays and a decrease in business activity in all markets. Most likely, prices will rise in the fall.

South Africa has not only a problem with the possible supply of weapons to Russia for use in the war against Ukraine.
South Africa invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to take part in the BRICS summit, which is scheduled for August 22-24. Putin is wanted by the International Criminal Court for the kidnapping of Ukrainian children, and as a member of the court, South Africa will be under an obligation to arrest him if he turns up.

South Africa has refused to support sanctions against Russia or condemn its aggression against Ukraine. However, the issuance of an arrest warrant for Putin by the International Criminal Court for the forced deportation of Ukrainian children from Russian-occupied territory has put South Africa's ruling party in an awkward position.

The South African authorities announced in April that they intended to withdraw from the Rome Statute, but then announced that the Republic of South Africa remains a member of the International Criminal Court and will continue to consistently apply international law. It was also reported that South Africa asked Vladimir Putin not to come to the BRICS summit, but to participate via Zoom. How will this problem be solved for South Africa,

Russia's economic situation is deteriorating not only as a result of international sanctions due to the military attack on Ukraine, but also as a result of an internal struggle for power. The recent failed rebellion by PMC Wagner, led by Yevgeny Prigozhin, plunged the Russian ruble to a 15-month low, i.e. almost since the beginning of the full-scale war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.

An attempted military coup by the Wagner PMC, which took place on June 23-24, hastened the fall of the ruble. As of morning, the Russian currency was trading at 85.1 rubles/dollar. This is the lowest level since March 2022, when it fell to record lows a few weeks after the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. At the same time, analysts believe that the ruble will continue to fall - up to 90 rubles / dollar. After all, a period of uncertainty continues in Russia.

However, the cash exchange rate of the ruble has already overcome this mark. As early as Saturday, June 24, Russian banks and exchangers raised rates to more than 100 rubles per dollar. A day after Prigozhin announced the withdrawal of his PMC from Moscow, the value of the dollar fell slightly.

In general, since the beginning of the year, the ruble has lost about 13% in value. This made the Russian currency one of the worst in terms of stability among the currencies of the emerging markets of the world.

Now even more significant events have begun to take place in Russia than the beginning of the national liberation movements of the regions against the Kremlin. It seems that there is a large-scale struggle for power with the use of tanks, aircraft and the capture of Russian cities.

It all started with the fact that, according to the head of the PMC "Wagner" Prigozhin, the Russian army received the task of eliminating the militants of the PMC "Wagner", who remained in the vicinity of Bakhmut. Apparently, the Kremlin decided not to let armed prisoners out of the front. However, Yevgeny Prigozhin's mercenaries did not wait for their enemy to start executing the order, and they themselves opened fire on Russian regular troops.

On the afternoon of June 23, Prigozhin accused the Russian Defense Ministry of lying about successes at the front in Ukraine and said that the Kremlin had lied about the reasons for the invasion of Ukraine. He stated that Ukraine was not going to attack Russia and did not pose any threat to it, and that for the past eight years it had not shelled the Donbass region, but defended itself from the attack of Russian soldiers. For such statements, the Kremlin opened a criminal case against Prigogine.

On the evening of June 23, Prigozhin accused the Russian military of attacking the rear camp of mercenaries. According to Prigozhin, "a huge number of fighters died." In his last audio address, he specified that a missile strike was carried out, after which helicopters and then artillery worked. Prigozhin noted that the orders to destroy the Wagner came from Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov after a meeting with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. Therefore, Prigozhin announced his intention to eliminate Shoigu and the military command of the Russian Federation.

Russian media recently reported on the seizure of the headquarters of the Southern Military District, the buildings of the local FSB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as well as the administration of Rostov by Prigozhin's armed men. At the same time, Prigozhin said that his people, and these are 25 thousand fighters, had already shot down two helicopters that fired at their columns moving towards Rostov.

Rostov was taken without a fight, but a fight with Kadyrovsky Akhmat is expected on the Rostov-Taganrog highway," the military correspondents write.

Ukraine is watching with interest and curiosity what is happening in Russia and rapidly developing events.

As a rule, banks provide their loans secured by real estate or movable property such as cars. At the same time, the appraised property is significantly underestimated in its value, and if the client for some reason could not repay the debt, then the property is sold by the bank or the bank retains it. At the same time, the profit from such a sale is much higher than the collection of ordinary interest for using a loan.
In addition, significant profits for banks bring the collection of penalties for delay in using the loan.

Of course, inflation will continue to grow this year, because the economic and food situation continues to deteriorate, the political situation in the world continues to be tense. Russia continues its war in Ukraine. By blowing up the Kakhovka HPP, Russia deliberately caused an ecological disaster, turning the fertile lands of Ukraine into a desert, which means that Ukraine will not be able to export agricultural products in the same volumes and in many countries the prices for products will increase. Now the Russian occupiers have mined the largest Zaporozhye nuclear power plant in Europe, as well as the Titan chemical plant, located in the north of the Crimean peninsula. In addition, the political leadership of Ukraine has already stated that, according to intelligence, the military received an order from the Kremlin to blow up the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant and cause a radiation leak. If world states do not take preventive measures against Russia, it will be fun. For many countries, hunger and  radiation will be provided.

These are serious allegations against the head of the SEC. If this information has become public, then the US Congress or other competent authorities should appoint an appropriate check and conduct an objective investigation.
But, in any case, over the past week, the price of bitcoin has already increased by more than 20 percent, and ethereum by more than 16 percent. The cryptocurrency market is recovering well. We expect the trend to continue.

South Africa is really in a quandary right now, and not only because of the possible supply of weapons to Russia to wage war against Ukraine. The BRICS summit is approaching, and South Africa, as the host country, must decide how to deal with Putin's possible visit to this summit. An arrest warrant has been issued for him by the International Criminal Court, and South Africa is a member of this organization and should arrest Putin when visiting its territory.
Apparently, they wanted to resolve this issue by the arrival of a number of leaders of African states, including those from South Africa, to Ukraine, allegedly on a peacekeeping mission. Therefore, one of the group's first proposals was to suspend the ICC warrant for Putin's arrest. But this plan was not destined to come true. Therefore, South Africa continues to look for a way out.

Your example once again proves that it is very difficult to get rid of generally recognized currencies for international trade. But Russia simply has no other choice than to try to trade with other countries using their national money. After all, international sanctions have cut Russia off from the dollar and the euro. At this forum, there were suggestions that Russia could switch to the use of cryptocurrencies, in particular, bitcoin. But for this, it is necessary that the partner state also agrees to trade in cryptocurrency. And this seems to be a big problem. Probably, in Russia now there is hope for the currency of the BRICS countries, time will tell how this issue will be resolved.

Difficulties with economic development have been, are and will always be and in all countries. Trials come to the share of almost every generation and they need to be overcome. Despite this, it should be recognized that with each new generation the standard of living, and therefore the quality of life, is still improving. Therefore, I do not see any economic impasse. Hard times will pass and give way to development and prosperity, which will again be replaced by economic difficulties.

If we compare Hitler's fascism, as well as Stalin's, and then Putin's rashism, then the Kremlin deliberately killed Ukrainians much more than Hitler's Germany did. Both of them attacked Ukraine without declaring war, and both of them set themselves the task of destroying Ukraine as a state and carried out demilitarization and denazification, that is, they destroyed Ukrainians as a nation and Ukraine as a state.

The Soviet-Ukrainian war of 1917-1921 ended with the defeat of the Ukrainian People's Republic, the Bolshevik occupation of Ukraine and the entry of the Ukrainian SSR into the Soviet Union in 1922. Since then, the Kremlin has been methodically destroying Ukrainians, their language and culture. Only through the artificially created famines of 1932-1933 and 1946-1947, in which the Bolsheviks took the last grain from Ukrainians and then destroyed it, according to various estimates, they killed from 3.5 to 7 million Ukrainians.

In addition, according to historians, during the political repressions of the late 1930s, 198,918 people were convicted on the territory of the Ukrainian SSR, of which about two-thirds were sentenced to death.

The memory of the deceased ancestors of Ukrainians who fought against Nazi Germany offends just the current daily bombing of peaceful Ukrainian cities by the current Russian Nazis and their attempt to destroy Ukraine by war and force.

If the US is now saying that it does not support Taiwan independence, then this is indeed a very interesting turn in US-China relations. The issue of Taiwan brought these countries closer to a serious war. In the United States, the outcome of a military clash between these states was simulated on a computer, and it turned out that the United States was winning the war, but by a very small margin. We can say that both states as a result of the war between themselves will be drained of blood.

So far, this is a reasonable move on the part of the United States to push back the threat of World War III. And this is not about weakness, as some here believe. The policy between the two big states should be wise, but the situation towards Taiwan may change in the future.

Answering a "joking question" I agree that the capital of a country beginning with the letter "M", that is, Moscow can already be a bargaining chip here. It is much more profitable for China to stay closer to the US and the EU than to Russia. Part of the territory of Russia, which there has long been considered Chinese, because it previously belonged to China, China will still take away from the weakening Russia as a result of its war with Ukraine. At the same time, if China does not openly support Russia in this war, then Russia will lose it relatively quickly.

Praying that there will be no war is clearly not enough now, when the Russian invaders on the territory of Ukraine, retreating, blow up and destroy everything they can after themselves. At the same time, man-made and environmental disasters are easily created.

So, on the night of June 6, Russian invaders blew up the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, as a result of which dozens of settlements in southern Ukraine were flooded, and the Kakhovka reservoir located above turns into a narrow river. At the same time, the south of Ukraine and the Crimean peninsula remain without fresh water for a long time, and the land without irrigation. Back in October, Ukraine stated at the UN that the occupiers were mining the Kakhovka HPP, but there was no reaction. I don’t even remember that they tried to pray for Ukraine and the planet as a whole. Even after the catastrophe, the invaders do not allow the UN and other international organizations to provide assistance to the population in the flooded settlements. Therefore, the corpses of the dead float between the houses and in the houses themselves, since the level of flooding often becomes five or more meters. Those civilians who try to evacuate on their own are shot in the back.

While the UN began to argue who is to blame for this situation and make stupid assumptions that the HPP could collapse itself, the invaders blew up another dam - on the Wet Yaly River in the Zaporozhye region. The rushing water is flooding settlements on both banks of the river, threatening the homes of local residents. With these attacks, Russian troops are trying to delay the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the liberation of their territories.

A very dangerous situation has now developed at the largest Zaporozhye nuclear power plant in Europe, which is also still in the hands of the Russian occupiers and which the Russians have turned into a military base. The undermining of the Kakhovskaya HPP made it very difficult for the process of cooling nuclear reactors.

After the Armed Forces of Ukraine began to successfully counterattack and broke through the Russian defenses in several directions, having already liberated seven settlements, the Russians realized that they might not be able to hold the Crimean peninsula either.
According to the intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the Russian invaders are mining and preparing to carry out a terrorist attack at the Crimean Titan plant in occupied Armyansk in the north of Crimea. There are hundreds of tons of ammonia and other chemicals, which could cause another environmental disaster. Will we just pray, or is it time to finally act to discourage the Russians from acting like a monkey with a grenade?
