1/5 Russia seems to have proof that Kiev eliminated Ukr POWs lest they divulged sensitive details on Mariupol operations. Moscow demands UN/ICRC investigation, has evidence Kiev used HIMARS, which probably explains Pentagon’s evasive stance on who committed the war crime.
2/5 MOD in Moscow issued special statement, unusually so: “On July 29, a deliberate missile strike of the Kiev regime using US-made HIMARS MLRS at a detention facility near Olenivka killed and maimed most of the 193 sleeping Ukrainian prisoners.
3/5 “According to updated figures as of the morning of July 30, 50 Ukrainians were killed in missile strike. The bodies of 48 Ukrainian POWs were found & recovered from under the rubble of detention facility.
4/5 “Two more Ukrainian POWs died of serious wounds, while being transported to a medical facility. 73 Ukrainian POWs were taken to medical facilities with serious injuries. All of them were given necessary medical treatment…
5/5 “All political, criminal and moral responsibility for the carnage … falls on Zelensky personally, his criminal regime & Washington who supports them."

1/5 A tutorial for USAID chief Samantha Power & India’s third-rate analysts: “Sri Lanka’s foreign debt is made up of multiple components. The share of China-related debts is far lower than that of the international capital market and multilateral development banks…

1/6 For 2nd time in recent months, head of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (formerly KGB) Sergey Naryshkin speaks up on Poland’s revanchist / territorial ambitions in western Ukraine. He had alleged previously that US is quietly encouraging Poland’s territorial ambitions.
2/6 Both times he’s claimed to have hard intelligence. This time around, Naryshkin expands on the topic, warning that Poland may be opening a Pandora’s box, setting precedents for other European countries too. Naryshkin’s remarks:
3/6 “This (Poland’s plans) is dangerous for Ukraine and for all of Europe. The thing is that there are quite a few locations on the European continent where neighbours are silently interested in the territories of adjacent states.

1/5 IMPORTANT… Russian Ambassador to China Andrey Denisov at 10th Global Peace Forum in Beijing: "Russia is calling for the expansion of the UN Security Council based on a broad consensus.
2/5 “It requires increasing the proportionate share of African, Asian and Latin American nations for the UN Security Council to be able to reflect the aspirations of people around the world and be a more democratic body.
3/5 “At the same time, I would like to be frank - we aren’t ready to support the accession of actors such as Germany and Japan. We don’t see any added value from their potential accession.

1/4 Why did Macron call Putin on Tuesday? According to grapevine, a Canadian general who tried to sneak out of Azovstal in Mariupol posing as ‘refugee’ was nabbed Monday by Russian forces & taken to Moscow.
2/4 This guy was apparently leading an 18-member staff team & heading one of the super secret labs in Ukraine to reduce biological weapons. Probably, Russians plan to put him on trial. Russia has alleged a nexus between Canada and Ukrainian neo-Nazis.
3/4 Macron has reason to be worried because 400-odd foreign volunteers trapped in the underground labyrinth at Azovstal & surrounded by Russian forces also include French military personnel. Now, what if Russians flush them out before French parliamentary elections in June?

1/6 Lavrov discusses rationale behind ruble payments by Europeans for Russian gas:
“A simple thing has happened that those who have been criticising and condemning our actions don’t want to talk about: our money, more than $300 billion, has been stolen.
2/6 “Most of the money came from oil and gas exports. We hold a responsibility to our people and we cannot let the West carry on with its criminal ways.
3/6 “The theft became possible because under Western rules, the Gazprom company had to keep the money in Western banks. They decided to ‘punish’ Russia and stole [the money].

1/8 Lavrov discloses the impasse in Russia-Ukraine negotiations:
“As Vladimir Zelensky asked, we agreed to hold talks, they started developing. Some agreements were outlined at a meeting of negotiators in March in Istanbul on the basis of what Zelensky said publicly.
2/8 “He said Ukraine was ready to be a neutral, non-bloc, nuclear-free country understanding that it will be provided with security guarantees.
3/8 “We were ready to work on this basis, understanding that, as the Ukrainians offered themselves, the agreement will say that security guarantees do not cover Crimea & Donbass.
