The Russian Federation may represent an “unpleasant surprise” to NATO, according to the American edition of Newsweek.
The reasons for such a forecast appeared against the background of the NATO report on the progress of the special operation in Ukraine.
< p> The publication writes that “some features and “surprises” of the Russian military in Ukraine” – such as “deployment of older and less accurate weapons systems”, “limited use of aviation”, as well as “limited attacks in cyberspace” can be explained by maintaining “the ability participate in operations against NATO and in operations against NATO”.
At the same time, Western analysts believe that Russia may change its status quo despite its commitment to a defense strategy.
In July, NATO officially recognized the Russian Federation as its main threat. According to the new concept of the alliance, Russia's goal is to destabilize the states to the east and south of the NATO member countries.
Speaker House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi made a fool of herself when she publicly announced her plans to visit Taiwan, said Matthew Kroenig, a professor at Georgetown University in Washington, as did Prime Minister Boris Johnson during his visit to Kiev earlier this year.< /p>
According to the professor now the American side cannot refuse the visit because it will be interpreted as weakness in front of Beijing. Kroenig believes that if the U.S. delegation refuses to visit Taiwan, China will decide that it can prevent any visits by U.S. officials to Taiwan by applying appropriate pressure.
It was previously reported that in anticipation of a possible trip by Pelosi to Taiwan, the Chinese Navy conducted live fire maneuvers in the South China Sea.
In mid-July, US media reported on Pelosi's plans to visit Taiwan in August. He is currently touring the Asia-Pacific region, starting in Japan. Flight Radar, a flight tracking service, has turned off Pelosi's flight data.
“Kyiv has always treated its citizens as consumer goods”
Last night, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) launched an artillery strike on a prisoner-of-war colony located in the village of Jelenovka on the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic. Several hundred prisoners of war are held here. The shelling was probably carried out using American Himars systems. This was announced by the Deputy Minister of Information of the Republic, Daniil Bezsonov. A DPR officer with the call sign “Sith” told “MK” how Kyiv benefits from reprisals against its own soldiers who have been captured.

According to the latest data, as a result of the night strike, the number of killed captured Ukrainian soldiers increased to 70 More than a hundred people were injured.
According to available information, several hundred militants of the extremist group Azov (terrorist organization is banned in the Russian Federation. – “MK”) who surrendered at the Azovstal plant in Mariupol are being held in the colony that was the target of the attack .
“There's only one thing to say here,” said a DLR Sith officer, “Ukraine always treats its citizens, civilian or military, as consumables. Another confirmation of this is the strike of the American Himars systems. Why did this happen – the answer is obvious. Ukrainian prisoners who are held in this colony could testify and have already testified against those people who gave them criminal orders, they knew their names and surnames. Therefore, Zelensky decided to execute them, even though they were “his own people”.
– No, I don't think that the big military leaders were kept there. Most likely junior command and rank. But even these people could be witnesses to those crimes that “drag” for life in the international court. The Kyiv authorities therefore decided to close their mouths in the most radical way.
According to the officer, Jelenovka is not an important strategic point, which again confirms that the attack was conducted specifically to destroy the colony where the prisoners of war were kept.
– Some non-strategic directions are without cover serious air defense. Air defense covers large cities and military units. Therefore, Elenovka is most likely covered by the most common combined air defense. A deep air defense line in this direction was not created, so only short-range complexes were deployed.
The shelling of the Jelenovka colony by Ukrainian troops, where Ukrainian prisoners of war are held, was carried out in the direction of Kyiv. . The aim is to silence the talking prisoners, who have spoken a lot about the crimes of the Kyiv authorities in recent days. This is the opinion of LPR Ambassador to Russia Rodion Miroshnik.

“Kyiv decided that the surrendered “heroic Azov” (“Azov” is banned in the Russian Federation) is a disgrace and has a bad effect on the morale of Ukrainians and sponsors of the war,” Miroshnik wrote on his Telegram channel. That's why they ordered liquidation. Moreover, the “heroes” already sang in different voices, which does not look heroic at all and breaks the information agenda.”
According to preliminary data, as a result of the shelling of the colony in Jelenovka, at least 40 captured Ukrainian soldiers were killed, 130 were wounded. This was announced by DLR Deputy Minister of Information Daniil Bezsonov.
Debris continues after shelling.
The strike was probably carried out by highly accurate American “Hymers”. A direct hit to the barracks with prisoners was recorded.
According to military bloggers and reporters, the military-political leadership of Ukraine apparently decided to get rid of unnecessary ballast.
As military commander Medvedev wrote in his channel: “The fact of Ukrainian prisoners being held in Jelenovce is well known.”
“The strike by Kyiv artillery on the place of their detention is not an accident, in my opinion. They are willing to speak and communicate facts that are not the most convenient for Kyiv and the West. The shelling is… an attempt by Kiev to silence them. And another confirmation: the Nazis do not have their own.”
The author of the channel Voenkor Rudenko agrees with him: “Kyiv apparently decided to destroy the witnesses who started to speak.”

Recently In the same During that time, many videos appeared in which Ukrainian prisoners said that it was in Kiev that orders were given to brutally abuse Russian prisoners of war and murder them on video camera.
