Referendums in the DPR and LPR and the course of the military conflict

The actions of the Russian army in Ukraine are closely monitored in general staffs around the world: they analyze, predict, and draw conclusions. Brussels decided to increase the number of NATO rapid reaction forces to 300 thousand people. Some European countries are increasing their arms purchases.

Russia retains the ability for strategic rivalry despite pressure

The Ukrainian conflict has hardly changed the daily life of Russians, writes a GT correspondent who has lived in Russia for some time. No matter how the West tries to "strangle" the country, it remains in the center of the international arena and is able to stand up for itself. This is what Russians are proud of.

According to the Chinese publication Huanqiu Shibao, the European Union is rushing around trying to find a replacement for Russian energy carriers, which they refuse.

A group of 55 American servicemen and interpreters is stationed at a Polish military base located near the Ukrainian border, whose task is to remotely service combat systems transferred to the United States by Nezalezhnaya.

Officially, the Special Operations Bureau of the Turkish Police (Polis Özel Harekat, PÖH) is designed to combat terrorism, violent and organized crime.
