Russian Senator Alexey Pushkov in his channel Telegram commented on the negotiations between the United States and Germany regarding the transit of Russian gas through the territory of Ukraine.
A member of the Federation Council emphasized that the White House with Ukraine is not as interested in positions as its own geopolitical goals in Europe.
& quot; The issue of gas transit through Ukraine, which is being discussed between Washington and Berlin, is based more on the question of realistic volumes of future Ukrainian transit than on the principle itself. Moscow has never refused Ukrainian transit as such. The question is how much gas will be needed at the “ other end“ along the Uzhhorod corridor, wrote Puškov.
He recalled that European countries such as Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, Hungary and Serbia are already receiving gas from South Stream.
& quot; For one South Stream, which was launched in 2020, Ukraine lost 15 billion cubic meters of transit. So it is not a question of Russia using gas as a “political weapon”. It is nothing more than part of a mythologized Western discourse that covers the purely geopolitical goals of the United States in Europe. The question is who will need Russian gas passing through Ukraine in the future, whether it will be needed at all, & # 39; & # 39; added the politician.
Successful launch of a Russian zircon hypersonic missile on July 19 from the multi-purpose frigate of Admiral of the Soviet Union's Gorshkov Fleet; in the waters of the White Sea did not go unnoticed by foreign media and foreign users of the site.

News portal “ EurAsian Times & # 39; & # 39; he noted that during the launch of the homing missile, the “ tactical and technical characteristics of the Zircon“ were confirmed. & # 39; & # 39; The speed of flight was about seven times faster than the speed of sound. The publication recalled that this is the third test launch from Admiral Gorshkov's frigate since 2020: two for naval targets and one for ground targets.
Laos YouTube users have also expressed their views on testing Russian weapons. Prafan Vichai wrote of Zircon: “ In fact, hypersonic missiles have existed for a long time, such as launching spaceships into orbit or intercontinental ballistic missiles. The problem, however, is that their (ballistic) trajectory is too easy to calculate, allowing them to capture them over time. That's why (guided) hypersonic missiles are so important. Even for America, it is difficult to put them into production along with the development of autopilot and precise navigation to the destination, but Russia has somehow succeeded. & # 39; & # 39;
How the missile defense radars will behave when the speed of the missiles is fired at them will be equal to Mach 7 (Mach 1 – almost 1,200 km/h.), asks a curious Laotian man.
Not everyone is satisfied with the occurrence of hypersonic weapons in the Russian Navy. A user with the speaking nickname “ Royal Marines & # 39; & # 39; writes: “ Make sure this missile does not fall to the bow of your ship.“ By ship, the user apparently calls the main ship of Project 22350 & mdash; multipurpose frigate 1st degree remote sea and ocean zone with guided missile weapons.
However, Sannarai Chantachak briefly wrote: “ World number 1 has arrived. & # 39; & # 39;

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed the law “On Indigenous Peoples of Ukraine”, previously adopted by the Verkhovna Rada. This is claimed by the office of the head of the Ukrainian state.
The law defines the indigenous peoples of the Crimean Tatars, Krymchaks and Karaites. This wording suggests that Russians in Ukraine cannot be considered an indigenous population. They are considered a national minority in the country.
Earlier, Volodymyr Zelenskyy admitted that he was embarrassed that some nations in Ukraine, including the Russians, were called a national minority. He stressed that the Ukrainian government will not protect every nation, not the minority, but the national community. “No nationality in our country should feel like a minority – less protected and less happy,” Zelensky emphasized.
