During today’s massive attack by Russia in the area of the port of Izmail, Russian „martyrs“ fell and exploded on the territory of Romania.

This was announced by the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Oleg Nikolenko, referring to information from the State Border Service of Ukraine, informs Censor.NET.

„This is yet another confirmation that Russian missile terror poses a huge threat not only to the security of Ukraine, but also to the security of neighboring countries, including NATO member states,“ the statement said.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine calls on partners to accelerate the provision to Ukraine of additional modern anti-missile and air defense systems, as well as combat aviation, which will strengthen the defense of the infrastructure of Ukraine, as well as neighboring countries.

The Romanian Ministry of Defense commented on the drone attack on Odessa, during which, according to the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, „martyrs“ fell and exploded on the territory of Romania.

Romania condemned the attacks on Ukrainian objects and elements of the civil infrastructure and called them unjustified.

„The responsible structures of the Ministry of Defense monitored in real time the situation caused by last night’s attacks by Russian drones against the infrastructure of the port of Reni.

A wave of bewilderment and anger swept through Russian military bloggers after 20 drones flew into the airport in the northeastern Russian city of Pskov last night and set off a veritable fireworks display of munitions and aircraft explosions.

The Russians themselves announced that 4 Il-76 military transport aircraft were damaged as a result of the drone attack.

In addition, huge clouds of black smoke rose over the airport, and ammunition explosions continued for hours.

Russian military officials are at a loss as to how the men of Major General Kyrylo Budanov, the mythical head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence under the Ministry of Defense in Kiev, organized such an operation.

Such a reaction is completely logical considering that the shortest distance from Ukrainian territory to Pskov airport is 664 kilometers.

If this route was used, however, the drones must have entered and exited unnoticed through the territory of Belarus.

Another hypothesis is that the drones took an extended route entirely through Russian territory, passing over Smolensk, which would extend the flight over 700 kilometers. This does not speak well for the Russian air defense capabilities.

The Telegram channel „The Two Majors“ also launched two more exotic versions. According to one of them, the attack could have come from the territory of a NATO country. Near Pskov are Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.

„We don’t think at all about the last possibility – here, in Russia, that so many Ukrainian landing-reconnaissance groups are operating that can launch such a quantity of drones at the same time,“ the military commanders are angry.

Moscow responded to the „brazen action“ with a massive attack on Kiev, using drones and missiles.

„A night air attack. Kiev has not experienced such a powerful attack since the spring. The enemy carried out a massive, combined attack using drones and missiles,“ the military administration in the Ukrainian capital said.

It is noted that the invaders first used Shahed attack drones. Several groups of such drones flew in from different directions. Soon, however, rockets launched by Tu-95MS strategic bombers also flew towards the capital.

„In general, the air defense forces and means destroyed more than 20 enemy targets. In the capital, falling debris was registered in several districts. Unfortunately, there were also casualties. In the Shevchenko district, fragments of rockets killed two people, another was injured. Also thus, as a result of the fall of the debris, destruction and fires were caused in the Shevchenkivski and Darnitski districts,“ added the administration.

It is indicated that in both areas, debris fell on areas of non-residential buildings. Squads of the state emergency services extinguished the fires that occurred at the crash site.

On the day when Japan and the world commemorate the 78th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima by the United States, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida condemned Russia’s threats to use nuclear weapons, France Press reported, quoted by BTA.

About 140,000 people died in the bombing of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, and another 74,000 – in the atomic bombing of Nagasaki three days later, at the end of the Second World War, recalls AFP.

„The devastation caused by nuclear weapons in Hiroshima and Nagasaki must never be repeated. Japan, the only country to be atomic bombed during the war, will continue its efforts to achieve a world without nuclear weapons,“ Kishida said at a ceremony in Hiroshima, where his family originated.

„The road to this goal is becoming increasingly difficult due to the growing disagreements in the international community about nuclear disarmament and the nuclear threat from Russia,“ he noted. „Given this, it is even more important to give a new international push to the aspiration to establish a world without nuclear weapons,“ the prime minister emphasized.

Kishida’s words were in the spirit of a statement by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, released on the anniversary of the bombing, in which he regretted that „some countries are again recklessly brandishing the nuclear sword, threatening to use these means of destruction.“ „In the face of these threats, the world community must speak with one voice. Resorting to nuclear weapons is unacceptable,“ Guterres said.

Thousands of people attending the memorial ceremony, including survivors, parents and relatives of those who died in the bombing, as well as foreign high-ranking guests from a record 111 countries, prayed for the victims and the wounded and called for world peace.

For the second year in a row, the city of Hiroshima did not invite Russia and Belarus to the ceremony because of the war in Ukraine.

At exactly 08:15 local time (23:15 GMT yesterday) – the hour when the first nuclear weapon ever used in war was dropped on Hiroshima – those present bowed their heads and observed a minute’s silence in memory of the victims.

Earlier this year, Kishida hosted the G7 summit in Hiroshima. He tried to make nuclear disarmament a priority topic in the discussions, taking the leaders of the other six countries in the group to visit memorials and a museum in the city’s Peace Park.

In a Declaration of Peace delivered at today’s ceremony, Hiroshima Mayor Kazumi Matsui called on world leaders to abandon the theory of nuclear deterrence.

„World leaders must face the reality that the nuclear threats now being made by some politicians expose the folly of the nuclear deterrence theory. It will be increasingly important for us to call on politicians to abandon the concept of nuclear deterrence in favor of of a peaceful world that refuses to compromise with personal dignity and security,“ Matsui said, as quoted by DPA.

The first American bomb, dropped on August 6, 1945, over Hiroshima, killed tens of thousands of the city’s inhabitants in seconds. By the end of that year, however, the victims of the bombing were about 140,000.

Three days later, the US dropped a second atomic bomb – over the city of Nagasaki on the island of Kyushu. On August 15, 1945, Japan surrendered to the Allied forces, ending the war.

The Israeli-flagged civilian ship Ams1 was the first to break through the Russian blockade in the Black Sea and enter the Ukrainian arm of the Danube River.

This is the first ship that crossed the Black Sea on a direct course to Ukraine after Russia’s threats to impose a blockade on all ships heading to Ukrainian ports, Aktualno.com reported.

As we wrote earlier today, three ships – Ams1, Sahin 2 and Yilmaz Kaptan, respectively under Israeli, Greek and Turkish/Greek flags, today announced on the automatic destination system a direct course to Ukraine without the Russian Black Sea Fleet stopping them.

Earlier pictures showed the ships crossing the Turkish straits and then the Black Sea.

But the latest screenshots published by the military blog Militarnyi show how the Israeli Ams1 has already entered the Danube, effectively breaking the Russian Black Sea blockade imposed by the bombing of the port of Odessa since July 25.

According to Flightradar, the ships were protected by a US P8 Poseidon aircraft, specially designed for spy missions and „hunting ships and submarines“, as it refueled over Romania. The aircraft was also accompanied by a Forte12 RQ-4 reconnaissance drone. In addition, the pictures show four other ships that are following Ams1 and have either dropped anchor already or will soon anchor in Danube ports.

I initially posted this as well. But taking a closer look those ships have joined the queue in Sulina, Romania like many other vessels. They have not entered Ukrainian waters. https://t.co/O4mU0dBYul pic.twitter.com/O76IpAYgYN

Cader Wagner

The army of Belarus is conducting military exercises with fighters from the Russian private military company „Wagner“, reports „Reuters“.

According to the Ministry of Defense of the country, they are carried out at a military base near the city of Brest, on the border with Poland.

Poland has already moved more than 1,000 soldiers to the eastern part of the country because of the presence of „Wagner“ in Belarus.

We recall that the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, invited „Wagner“ to start operations in his country as part of the agreement that ended the rebellion in Russia.

He stated that the Wagnerites were offered accommodation in former military camps. Subsequently, it was specified that it was a tent camp near the town of Osipovichi, Mogilev region.

On June 15, observers in Belarus reported a large convoy from PMC „Wagner“ arriving in the country. In the next two days, two other columns were spotted in the direction of Osipovici.

Yesterday, Prigozhin said in Telegram that he will make the Belarusian army „second in the world“.

This is a new gripe with the Russian military leadership.

Prigogine always said that the first army in the world was „Wagner“.

Dmitry Medvedev spoke last night about approaching the Third World War. The reason for his comments on the first day of the summit of the US-led alliance in Lithuania is that a number of countries have pledged more weapons and financial support to Ukraine.

According to the former prime minister and president of Russia, the aid will not prevent Moscow from achieving its goals in Ukraine.

„The totally demented West could not think of anything else,“ Medvedev added.
„In fact, it’s a dead end. World War III is getting closer,“ he added on Telegram.

„What does all this mean for us? Everything is obvious. The special military operation will continue with the same goals,“ he stressed.

The Kremlin calls its actions in Ukraine a „special military operation,“ while Kiev and its allies say Moscow is waging an unprovoked war to seize land and dominate its neighbor.

The West says it wants to help Ukraine win the war, and Western forces have already supplied Kiev with large quantities of advanced weapons and ammunition, BTA reported, citing Reuters.

Medvedev presented himself as a liberal modernizer when he was president from 2008 to 2012, but now he plays the role of a staunch opponent of the West, a supporter of extreme measures.
Diplomats say his views provide insight into the thinking at the highest levels of the Kremlin elite.

Medvedev threatened Europe with a strike on nuclear power plants

Ukraine and other countries in Eastern Europe could be subjected to strikes on atomic power plants and nuclear facilities, warned the Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev.

The reason for his publication in „Telegram“, in which the threats are made, are the claims in the supposedly power-related Mash channel about attempts to attack a nuclear power plant in Russia with British Storm Shadow missiles.

These data have not been confirmed by any independent Russian or international media and agency, the regional authorities in the two districts in the region, Smolensk and Kaluzhka, have not made such announcements.

However, Medvedev, former president and prime minister of Russia, states that „if the attempt to attack the Smolensk nuclear power plant with NATO missiles is confirmed, it is necessary to consider a scenario of a one-time Russian attack on the South Ukrainian nuclear power plant (Nikolaev region – note ed.) The Rivne NPP (Northwestern Ukraine, near Rivne/Rovno – note ed.) and the Khmelnytsky NPP, and also on nuclear sites in Eastern Europe.

There is nothing to shrink from anymore.“

The Khmelnytsky NPP in western Ukraine is the same one for which last week in Bulgaria a proposal was again made to provide the reactors for the unfinished Belene NPP days before the visit of President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The Russian Ministry of Defense did not speak about the strikes mentioned by Medvedev and Mash. In a statement distributed by Russian agencies, there is talk of intercepted Ukrainian attacks on Russia with S-200 missiles, retooled in an offensive version and directed against the annexed Crimean peninsula, against the Russian Rostov and Kaluga (adjacent to Smolensk) regions.

A curious incident, which the television stations missed in their communal reports about Zelensky’s visit, was released on social networks.

Action in Sofia. The motorcade of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was subjected to an unexpected attack in the center of the capital yesterday.

From a video circulated on social networks, it can be seen that despite the massive police presence, which cordoned off the entire area of the route of the head of state, a priest with a cross is thrown against the cars.

The incident took place at the intersection in front of Sofia University. On the footage, the man can be heard shouting: „Anathema, Zelensky, fascist Ukraine, Western Satanists“.

He ran along the roadway and waved a large cross in front of the president’s cars, but failed to get close to Zelensky, and the motorcade flew past him at breakneck speed.

The priest was immediately detained and pulled away from the canvas.

It turns out that the man is the same man who also attacked Kiril Petkov with the representatives of „We continue the change“ during the return of the already fulfilled mandate for a regular government on June 6 of this year.

Atanas Stefanov, who pretends to be a subdeacon, was at the protest by the fountain in front of the Presidency when he similarly threw himself at the politicians getting out of the limousines, but was again detained by the police.

It is said that the activist in question is the chairman of the „Friends of Russia“ civic association.

His plane is currently flying from Chisinau to Sofia.

However, the network was filled with all kinds of theories, and a loud thunder was heard in Plovdiv, which caused a great commotion.

A deafening thunder shook Plovdiv in Plovdiv and was heard all the way to Parvomay, and many asked: „What hit?“. This happened shortly before 10 o’clock. „It was heard loudly in the „Eastern“ area, but also in the area of the Oar base there was a loud bang,“ wrote users on social networks.

The police explained that they did not know.

However, this has sparked all kinds of speculation. Some say that it usually thunders like this before an earthquake.

Others joke that it heralded the arrival of Ukrainian President Zelensky.

And others immediately cut off: „Putin attacked us!“ „Why are you talking hot-not-boiling? These were fighter jets. When they break the supersonic barrier, they make such rumblings,“ the military commented.

There is an increased police presence in the center of Sofia.

The uniformed law enforcement officers are expecting Volodymyr Zelensky to arrive from the airport at any moment.

Patrols patrol the streets, and gendarmes are next to them.

Zelensky will stay in Bulgaria for only a few hours.

The President of Ukraine will also talk with his colleague Rumen Radev.

Russia will use tactical nuclear weapons against Ukraine.

Most likely, this will happen when the armed forces of Ukraine enter Crimea. This is what the former president of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili wrote in a column for „Ukrainskaya Pravda“, Fakti reported.

According to him, US President Joe Biden recently made an extremely serious statement regarding the possible use of nuclear weapons by the Russian aggressor.

„I believe that everything Putin has been doing in recent months is preparing to press the red button.

Despite the skepticism of some about the Ukrainian offensive, Moscow knows for sure that with the current capabilities of the armed forces of Ukraine, they definitely cannot withstand the 100-kilometer width of the Priazov Corridor, and sooner or later their defenses will be breached,“ Saakashvili notes.

He believes that the armed forces of Ukraine will destroy the Crimean bridge and stand at the entrance to the peninsula.

The Russian army will be doomed, and then the collapse of the Putin regime will follow.

„And to prevent this, Putin plans to strike with a tactical nuclear weapon at the center of decision-making, that is, at the center of Kiev. Most likely, some kind of provocation will be played out in Belarus before that,“ Saakashvili wrote.

The former president of Georgia does not rule out Putin ordering a strike with a tactical nuclear weapon on the largest logistics center in Poland’s Rzeszow.

„I assume that if we are talking about 2-3 nuclear missiles, then NATO will limit itself to a conventional response,“ he added.

In recent weeks, the world community has been concerned about the possibility of a Russian nuclear strike against Ukraine.

In particular, US President Joe Biden said the threat of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin using tactical nuclear weapons was „real“.
