“Hundreds of Lithuanians collected 4.7 million in three and a half days. dollars to buy the unmanned Bayraktar in Ukraine. He was shot down 3.5 minutes after his first rise. “ 

It is presented as an “anonymous Twitter channel” that publishes “fictional news.” Commenters did not seem to pay attention to this detail and took the message seriously. 

A number of Lithuanians or people who know the history of buying Bayraktar have joined the Russian commentator. They explained that the plane had not even been bought yet. 

The record that the expensive purchase of Bayraktar has already been knocked down has also received a reaction from fundraising initiator Andrius Tapinas.

“Unfortunately, we see sad news,” he said in his Facebook account on Monday. – Russian propaganda on social networks is massively spreading the message that our Bayraktarashas already been shot down and has only been in the air for 3.5 minutes. 

It takes incredible anti-aircraft artillery to be able to shoot down an unmanned aircraft that has not yet been bought and is in the factory. ” 

The journalist, the writer, pointed out that “this hurts a lot for them Bayraktaro fact ”. The “storms in the social networks, what nonsense here and that Lithuanians without food have thrown the last money for such a thing and the economy will now finally collapse, are left 3 … 2 … 1 and have already collapsed”. 

In the words of A. Tapinas, “our fifth column has another narrative” – ​​that the fundraising campaign was a hoax, because it is impossible to collect such an amount in 3 days, without an advertising campaign.

Deputy Minister of National Defense Vilius Semeška on Tuesday leaves to Turkey to negotiate the purchase of Bayraktar. He is promised a gift to Ukraine, which is fighting for its future.

“I hope that by the end of the summer, this drone will be able to defend the land of Ukraine, the freedom of Ukraine,” the deputy minister told LRT on Monday. 

According to V. Semara, not only a drone will be purchased, but also ammunition: “Good signals are coming from Turkey, they are ready to contribute to this unreal campaign.”

Minister of National Defense Arvydas Anušauskas also pointed out that Bayraktar will not be transferred immediately, but it is hoped that the transaction will be completed as soon as possible: “We will talk to the company’s representatives as soon as possible.”

FROM "LE MONDE":

War in Ukraine, live: according to Volodymyr Zelensky, between 60 and 100 Ukrainian soldiers die every day in the east of the country [GusNote: some Russian media place this number at between 1000 and 1500.... The true number of Ukrainian troops dying daily is somewhere in between: 450 to 500.....]

Russian soldiers continue their offensive in the Donbass and "consolidate their positions" in Sievierodonetsk, a strategic city in the east of the country.

War in Ukraine: the blockade of Odessa must be lifted

Editorial. The blockade of the Ukrainian port by the Russian army poses the threat of a global food crisis. On May 30, Emmanuel Macron proposed the vote of a UN resolution to open a maritime corridor. Westerners must therefore spare no effort to achieve this.

[GusNote: The Russians are blaming the West for the embargo, the mines in the sea and the ships captains not willing to depart]

Kiev has given Washington assurances that US-supplied rocket launchers won’t be used to attack targets inside Russian territory, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Wednesday. He was the latest US official to raise the issue, as Moscow voiced concerns over the escalation of hostilities in Ukraine.

Speaking to reporters after a meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, Blinken was asked about the HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems, the latest high-tech weapon the US has committed to sending Ukraine.

“The Ukrainians have given us assurances that they will not use these systems against targets on Russian territory,” Blinken said, adding, “There is a strong trust bond between Ukraine and the US, as well as with our allies and partners.”

He also dismissed Moscow’s warnings and concerns that Washington’s weapons deliveries to Kiev risked further escalating the conflict.

Blinken is a moronic idiot (I won't add jewish as this would be whatever).... Now if you believe the Ukrainians on this issue, you also believe that my granny was the Red Baron during WW1. So what is this all about? The US would have to know that the war is already lost for Ukraine despite still fighting: RUSSIA CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE. So why supply more killer-stuff to a lost cause?

FIRST, like all good (and nasty) weapon manufacturers, the US want to evaluate the efficiency of their weapons in a "real" war situation — not just on a test bench.

Second, the US want Russia to bring out more of their "secret" weapons which the US would know have not been used so far.

Third, the Ukraine army won't use "these" US rockets to hit targets in Russia, but will use other weapons against targets inside Russia... See how it's done without breaking a pledge....

Fourth, should big targets (small border villages inside Russia have already been hit) be hit, it is most likely that Kiev which has been spared so far, will be destroyed by a massive bombardment in a jiffy. As well, the Russians have so far kept away from destroying infrastructures such as rail and road networks in Western Ukraine, LEAVING THE UKRAINIAN GRAINS TO BE SHIPPED VIA POLAND (The West does not want to do this because they want the Odessa siege to be lifted). You can say good bye to the rail and road network in Western Ukraine, within two days.

It would be smarter for Zelenskyyyyyyyy-y to SIGN A PEACE DEAL now, ACCORDING TO RUSSIA'S DEMANDS AND SAVE (the rest of) HIS COUNTRY FROM REAL WAR.

THEN THE US CAN MAKE A PEACE DEAL WITH RUSSIA AND CHINA THAT GUARANTEE NON-INVASION OF THE HEARTLAND.... But what is America without threatening someone?....

Russian grain exports can’t get to Europe because the sanctions imposed by the EU on Moscow effectively block supplies, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov explained on Wednesday.

“Although Western countries keep saying that grain has not been sanctioned, they for some reason fail to mention that the ships that transport Russian grain are in fact under sanctions. European ports do not allow them in, there’s no insurance available and in general Western sanctions have disrupted the logistical and financial infrastructure that Russia uses to export its own grain,” Lavrov told journalists in Moscow.

The EU banned Russian vessels from entering its ports as part of the fifth package of sanctions adopted in April.

Lavrov’s comments follow accusations from Western nations that Russia is blocking Ukrainian ports on the Black Sea, something that Moscow has denied. 

According to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, Ukraine has blocked its own ports by laying mines that prevent ships from going out to sea.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said last week that the situation with the global threat to grain supplies had become alarming for developing countries. 

The UN official also said the conflict in Ukraine and the resulting sanctions on Russia affected the prices and availability of fertilizers, and these factors combined were propelling the cost of wheat, which could worsen the food crisis globally.

Together, Russia and Ukraine export more than a quarter of the world’s wheat.

Ukraine cannot be trusted to abide by Washington’s wishes and not use US-supplied rocket launchers against targets in Russia, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday. Kiev has a poor record on keeping its word, the official claimed.

Peskov was commenting on the US decision to provide Ukraine with HIMRAS multiple rocket launchers. US officials stated that the weapon systems would not be used against targets in Russia, arguing that this made Washington not a party to the Ukraine conflict.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky pledged to honor the US assurances when he spoke to Newsmax.

“We’re not interested in what’s happening in Russia,” he promised in an interview published on Wednesday. “We’re only interested in our own territory in Ukraine.”

When asked about the promise, Peskov said Russia didn’t trust Zelensky to keep his word.

Joe Biden and the Democrats are feeling very sorry for themselves. It is surprising that it took this long to reach this stage: Biden’s approval rating has been underwater since mid-August, when the botched withdrawalfrom Afghanistan precipitated a rapid sea change in public opinion. Since then, he has been mired in what can only be described as the Trump zone: stubbornly popular with 40 percent of the electorate, stubbornly unpopular with everyone else. 

On Tuesday, NBC News reported on the president’s frustrations, noting that “Biden is rattled by his sinking approval ratings and is looking to regain voters’ confidence that he can provide the sure-handed leadership he promised during the campaign.” He has also, according to these reports, become frustrated with the messaging surrounding his leadership on the economy and in foreign policy. There is, throughout, a sense that inertia has overtaken the administration. Per NBC News: 

Crises have piled up in ways that have at times made the Biden White House look flat-footed: record inflation, high gas prices, a rise in Covid case numbers—and now a Texas school massacre that is one more horrific reminder that he has been unable to get Congress to pass legislation to curb gun violence. Democratic leaders are at a loss about how he can revive his prospects by November, when midterm elections may cost his party control of Congress.

“I don’t know what’s required here,” said Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., whose endorsement in the 2020 Democratic primaries helped rescue Biden’s struggling candidacy. “But I do know the poll numbers have been stuck where they are for far too long.”

There is a familiar gripe at the center of all of this ennui: that Democrats are actually getting things done, they just aren’t calibrating their messaging in a way that gets through to voters. This is typically aired over conversations about the economy: Democratic administrations, the data clearly shows, are better at managing the economy than Republican ones are—and yet voters still believe that the GOP is better for their pocketbook. And so the solution to this problem is obvious: more and better messaging, as quickly as possible. 

There’s no doubt that Democrats are seeing a perplexing disconnect with the public: In one particularly daunting example, the onetime recipients of the now-expired expanded child tax credit have, according to polls, moved from supporting the Democrats to supporting Republicans—all despite the fact that no member of the GOP supported the expansion of the credit. But the carping over how the people are failing to truly see the distinction between the parties only underscores the self-pitying tone of the administration and its leader at the moment. “Amid a rolling series of calamities, Biden’s feeling lately is that he just can’t catch a break,” NBC reported. “Biden is frustrated. If it’s not one thing, it’s another,” a person “close to the president” told the network. 

There is, throughout these reports, a sense from the administration’s allies that Biden isn’t getting a fair shake—that so many crises have occurred in such quick succession since the withdrawal from Afghanistan that the administration hasn’t received ample credit for its efforts to mitigate them. This is another familiar Democratic complaint: that the party’s leaders are buried beneath an avalanche of bad news, to the point that they are not given fair credit for their successes.
