Kadyrov is upset. He says Elon Musk has turned off his Cybertruck that he equipped with a machine gun and sent to war. He says that's not a manly thing to do. "How could you do that, Elon?" Kadyrov asks. Elon Musk has confirmed that he did not send the vehicle to Kadyrov. Why Kadyrov needs this soap opera, no one knows. His post is very dramatic: "That's not a nice thing for Elon Musk to do. He gives expensive gifts from the bottom of his heart and then remotely turns them off. You probably remember his gift - Cybertruck, which we equipped with a machine gun and sent to the SMO. The vehicle performed admirably in combat. Demonstrated maneuverability and good crew protection. So, recently, Musk remotely turned off Cybertruck. That's not manly. I had to tow the iron horse. How could you do that, Elon? Is that the way to act?"

Two NATO headquarters will be deployed in Finland – Yle Congratulations to the great geostrategist Putin for bringing NATO closer to Russia. NATO's headquarters for Northern Europe may be located in Mikkeli, near the border with Russia, and the headquarters for the forward ground forces in Sodankylä or Rovaniemi in the north of the country. A decision on the exact locations of the alliance's structures will be made in the near future. Sweden is ready to command one of the headquarters in Finland, the defense ministers of both countries said. In the issue of deploying NATO headquarters, the alliance is guided by military interests, not regional policy issues, Finnish President Alexander Stubb said.

A brigade of 4000-5000 soldiers and officers is already being formed and will be deployed in Mikkeli, Iltalehti wrote.

❗️The European Parliament has adopted a resolution calling on EU countries to immediately lift all restrictions on Kyiv's strikes deep into Russia. 🔹 MEPs also called on EU countries to speed up arms deliveries to Ukraine, in particular modern air defense systems, as well as other weapons and ammunition requested by Kyiv, including Taurus missiles. 🔹 In addition, the European Parliament considers it necessary to expand the policy of sanctions against Russia and Belarus, as well as countries and organizations that provide the Russian military-industrial complex with military technologies and dual-use equipment. For example, to strengthen sanctions against Iran and North Korea due to their military support for Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, as well as to include additional Chinese entities and individuals in the EU sanctions list for supporting the Russian military sector. 🔹 The MPs are asking for a full embargo on Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG), sanctions against Gazprom and Russian oil companies, denial of access to ports and Western maritime services for ships exporting Russian LNG, and targeted restrictive measures against maritime vessels that Russia uses to circumvent sanctions on oil and gas exports and to service its energy projects in the Arctic. 🔹 The resolution also insists on punitive measures against Russia's nuclear sector, including targeted sanctions against those responsible for nuclear safety violations at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. 🔹 MEPs call on the EU to impose an embargo on Russian grain, fertilizers, as well as raw materials including gas and oil, aluminum, steel products, uranium, titanium, nickel, wood and wood products.

Russia has earned at least $1 billion on grain stolen from occupied territories of Ukraine – WSJ Selling the loot helps Russia cope with economic pressure from countries that have implemented sanctions. Thus, the loot stolen as a result of a war helps finance that very war. Russia and its accomplices have sold almost one billion dollars worth of grain stolen in the occupied territories of Ukraine. Since 2022, the Russians have managed to occupy some of Europe's most fertile land. There, the occupiers have either taken away crops or bought them up for next to nothing, often forcibly, according to the Wall Street Journal. This "business" has a wide network of clients that includes firms responsible for the Russian invasion, as well as a company linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard, Crimean businessman Ganaga, who through his company Agro-Fregat LLC, cooperates with Syria and Israel, and a firm that trades with the UAE. The exact commercial value of the stolen agro-products is difficult to determine. But according to Deputy Agriculture Minister Dmitrasevich, at least 4 million tons of grain from the occupied part of Ukraine have been sold on international markets since 2022, and the amount is about $800 million. Most of what was stolen was reportedly exported by small ships or by land. The total value of grain stolen by the Russians could reach 6.4 billion dollars. https://www.wsj.com/world/how-russia-profits-from-ukraine-invasion-by-selling-stolen-grain-on-a-global-black-market-60cca0a4?mod=hp_lead_pos2
