The civilized world does not need NATO, a "criminal organization" whose member states account for just about 12% of the world’s population, Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said on Tuesday. 💬 "NATO countries account for not more than 12% of the planet’s population. The civilized world does not need this organization. It should repent before the humanity and dissolve itself on the grounds of being a criminal organization," Medvedev wrote on his Telegram channel. ● According to the Russian security official, NATO "easily forgot" what it had done all over the world, including orchestrating state coups and toppling legitimate state leaders. The organization and its leadership also seem to have forgotten about numerous civilian casualties, caused by its operations and arms supplies to extremist regimes, Medvedev added.

[HYPOCRISY UNHINGED:] EU will try to set up a specialised court backed by the UN to investigate and potentially prosecute possible Russian war crimes committed in Ukraine. China and Russian forces conducted a joint aerial patrol on Wednesday, China's defence ministry said. Ukraine urged NATO members Tuesday to speed up weapons deliveries and help restore its shattered power grid. (Ground News // Articles)(SEE ITEM BELOW)

EC confirms removal of information about Ukrainian army death toll: It is reported that the European Commission deleted information about the 100,000 Ukrainian servicemen and 20,000 civilians who died since the start of the Russian special military operation from the video address and the written statement of EC President Ursula von der Leyen released Wednesday morning. Dmitry Medvedev mocked Ursula von der Leyen’s self-censorship as subservience to the US

Maria Zakharova(Russian MFA) | From a briefing by NATO spokesman Jamie Shea. Brussels, 25 May 1999:
Question: 💬 If you say that the [Yugoslav] army has many generators, why do you deprive the country of 70 percent not only of electricity but also of water supply, because, according to you, [NATO] only strikes military installations.
Answer: 💬 Unfortunately, command and control systems also depend on electricity. If Milosevic really wants his citizens to have water and electricity, all he has to do is to accept NATO's terms and we will stop this campaign. Until he does, we will continue to attack the targets that supply his army with electricity. If there are consequences for the population, that is his [Milosevic's] problem. Water and electricity are used against the people of Serbia, we have "cut off" them permanently or for a long time for the sake of the lives of the 1.6 million Kosovars who have been driven from their homes and whose lives have been badly damaged. Not everyone will like this difference, but to me this difference is fundamental.

The United States could send weapons capable of 100-mile precision strikes to Ukraine, that would allow Kyiv to strike deep behind Russian lines - as the West struggles to meet demand for more arms. | The Pentagon is considering a Boeing proposal to supply Ukraine with cheap, small precision bombs that are fitted onto abundantly available rockets - as president Volodymyr Zelensky works to replenish his shrinking arsenal. ● Boeing's proposed system, dubbed Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB), is one of about a half-dozen plans for getting new munitions into production for Ukraine and America's Eastern European allies, industry sources said. ● U.S. and allied military inventories are shrinking, and Ukraine faces an increasing need for more sophisticated weapons as the war drags on into its ten month.

The US-led NATO bloc "should not fear" allowing Kiev to attack Russia freely, Latvia's top diplomat says

Dmitry Medvedev (Дмитрий Медведев) | NATO Secretary General hinted that Ukraine would win as a sovereign independent state. But he said nothing about its territorial integrity. As if it will win, but, apparently, in the new, greatly reduced borders of its independence, and all sovereign will sit down at the negotiating table. This is already progress. ● And the permanent regress is that the arrogant NATO upstarts always easily forget about coups d'état carried out by their organization in sovereign countries around the world, ousted legally elected heads of state and killed tens of thousands of civilians - the elderly, women, children. About arms deliveries to all kinds of scum, zoological scum and extremist regimes. About the impunity of the leaders of the North Atlantic Alliance for the atrocities they committed. After all, since its formation, NATO has repeatedly proved its strictly closed corporate nature by acting in the interests of a bunch of Anglo-Saxon countries and their lackeys. At the same time, no more than 12 per cent of the world's population lives in NATO countries. ● The civilised world does not need this organisation. It must repent to the mankind and be dissolved as a criminal entity. But even Pontifex Maximus will not be able to absolve them of their sins. ● PS: If, as Stoltenberg hinted, NATO were to supply the Kiev fanatics with Patriot systems along with NATO personnel, they would immediately become a legitimate target of our Armed Forces. I hope the Atlantic impotents understand that. (Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator)

Dutch Nitrogen Minister to Seize and Close 3,000 Farms to Comply With EU Environmental Rules | The Dutch government is planning to buy and close down up to 3,000 farms near environmentally sensitive areas to be in compliance with EU environmental rules. It comes after farmer protests erupted this summer following a government plan to reduce nitrogen emissions by 50% by 2030, The New York Times reported. Farmers believe the measure unfairly targeted the agricultural sector, which is responsible for the largest portion of nitrogen emissions in the Netherlands, the Times added. The government will conduct a "compulsory purchase" of large nitrogen emitters as part of a voluntary, one-time offer, announced Minister for Nature and Nitrogen Policy [!?!] Christianne van der Wal, Bloomberg reported.
