⚡️BREAKING: The United Kingdom has lost part of its territory
The Prime Minister Starmer has confirmed signing a deal transferring control of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius.
The agreement includes the crucial Diego Garcia military base. But Starmer claims that now the base holds “strategic impotence.”
The Chagos Islands have been British territory since 1814.
An army veteran from Chagos Islands spoke live on air condemning the prime minister’s decision: "I risked my life for this country… Now Starmer’s handing away our homeland. I’d rather die than see my country go to Mauritius!"

@Faytuks Zelensky looks like a clown trying to cosplay dressing like Fidel Castro. At least Castro picked up a gun and fought.

One small but not insignificant factor that irritated Trump was the fact Zelensky didn't wear a suit, two sources with direct knowledge told Axios.

In Israel, the daughter of Russia's chief rabbi married the son of Ukraine's chief rabbi
The wedding of Rivka Lazar, daughter of Russia's chief rabbi Berel Lazar, and Sholom Wolff, son of Odessa and Southern Ukraine's chief rabbi Avraham Wolff, took place in Israel.
Around 200 guests attended, including representatives of Jewish communities from Russia and Ukraine. The ceremony was conducted in both Russian and Hebrew.
The headline performer was pro-Kremlin artist Djigan, who had previously performed in occupied Crimea and at Russia’s "reunification concert" in Moscow.

@Tendar That would have been a terrible deal for Ukraine! They should destroy it all in Russia starting with the gas pipelines going through Ukraine.

There are rumours circulating that Russia wanted to negotiate with Ukraine a deal in which Russia will not strike Ukrainian energy infrastructure in exchange for Ukraine not striking oil facilities, but called off the deal because the Ukrainian operations in Kursk.
There are good reasons for both versions, that the rumour is true and that it is not. In the past Russia used those kind of claims whenever it got defeated on the battlefield and excused those shortcomings with fabrications such as this one.
But let us entertain the idea that there were indeed intentions of that kind, then Russia's oil industry is at a critical point, not capable sustaining more strikes. Russians never offer negotiations in good faith. There is either a ploy or they are in distress and they need a pause. Both interpretations are good reasons to even intensify those strikes and put Russia even more into distress.
Rumours aside, the Ukrainian air campaign against Russian oil facilities, especially against the refining industry, is going well. As recently stated, Russia had to extend the ban on exports of refined products. The destruction of the oil depots of Proletarsk are only the latest episode that Russia absolutely got caught off-guard, and worse, is not capable of fending this off.
As I mentioned in the beginning of this year (Retweet), Russia's oil and gas industry is achilles heel. It is there lifeline, the lifeline of imperial Russia. Killing that lifeline or at least strangeling it to an extent so that the Russian Federation implodes, is another way to victory. Ukraine would be well-advised to continue that path.
(((Tendar)))@Tendar
The strike against Russian oil facilities in Tuapse, Russia, only days after the successful strike against the Ust-Luga terminal removes all doubt that we are dealing with a targeted effort to eliminate all major Russian oil and gas ports, so that they are rendered useless for any operations. When looking at the Russian oil and gas pipeline map, then you will notice that almost all of them head West. There is a small pipeline going east, but it is not connected to the main oil fields in Western Siberia and only small in size. Russia's economic lifeline goes all the way West. In the past, this was the matter of problems for the West, since Russia used this power to blackmail Europe. Now, its close proximity has become the source of weakness. Among all of those pipelines only 5 end in Russian sea ports. Every other pipeline, especially the Druzhba pipeline, enters Western (NATO) territory and are therefore subject of sanctions or worse. The Druzhba pipeline goes anyway partly through Ukrainian territory and the rest such as the pumping stations are anyway in firing range. 3 of the pipelines end near Sankt Petersburg in the Baltic Sea, 2 of them go the Black Sea. Among of them, Ukraine successfully struck 2 already. Ust-Luga is inoperable for the next weeks or even months. Shipping companies will increasingly reconsider sending their vessels to those ports which are military targets. This will be a big headache for the Russian war effort. The current attacks are still small in size, using a handful of drones, but already caused considerable damage. When Ukraine starts mass-hitting those ports, then the Russian air defense will not be able to stop the outcome, even when destroying 99% of all drones. The National Geographic map is from 2006 and yet not much has changed since then. The major difference I see is the extension of the natural gas pipeline grid of which some have been turned into "sea water pipelines". The irony behind that speak for itself. Putin and his oligarchs never ever anticipated this situation, like everything since February 2022. Everything what Moscow does makes a bad situation worse and I'm sure that sooner or later somebody in Putin's circle (of which nobody is a saint but simply tired of this vicious cycle) will do the math that it is easier to remove Putin than remove the Ukraine will for freedom and independence. #Ukraine #Russia #Oil #NaturalGas
