Tehran presented Moscow with an unnamed European leader’s proposal for a “peace initiative” to end the war in Ukraine, Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian confirmed on Wednesday, according to a report in Al Jazeera.
It is obvious at this point that Ukraine's "path to NATO" appears to have been dropped as a prominent talking point among Ukrainian officials and in Brussels for the time being. This is how Boris Johnson has sabotaged the Ukraine-Russia peace deal in April.
The Joe Biden administration is concerned about Indian involvement in Russia’s massive war games, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on Tuesday. Roughly 50,000 troops from several countries will participate in the “Vostok” military games held in far eastern Russia.
The Beginning. “I come from the South and I know what war is, for I have seen its terrible wreckage and ruin. It is easy for me as President to declare war.

According to a Bloomberg report, the seized super yacht of Russian businessman Dmitry Pumpyansky will be auctioned with the proceeds going to J.P. Morgan after he secured a court order in Gibraltar last month allowing the sale of the yacht.

Russia stated that it anticipates the serial manufacture of AK 203 rifles to commence in Amethi in late 2022 or early 2023, as the second regiment of the S-400 Triumf air defense system begins to be delivered. With this, Russia wants to build the next generation of tanks and submarines with India.
