Biden vs. teleprompter again In this battle, Biden didn't stand a chance:

More people die from extreme heat than floods, hurricanes and tornadoes combined... "say that again"... combined. More people die from heat than those three other major issues.

We've seen a lot of back and forth in control but I should note Russian military tends to pull back then request additional fire support to smash defensive positions and Ukrainian troops with FABs, artillery, and the infamous TOS. No point getting into small arms against defensive positions when you have the advantage of firepower. #Source @Slavyangrad

The German right-wing party Alternative for Germany (AfD) will join Viktor Orban's newly-formed European right-wing bloc, The Times reports. A few days earlier, the Hungarian prime minister announced the creation of a "Patriots for Europe" bloc together with the Austrian and Czech parties (FPÖ and ANO), which became leaders in the European elections. Orban is confident that the new grouping will quickly grow to become "the largest faction of right-wing forces in Europe."

"We have launched a new parliamentary group that is growing at an incredible pace, very soon we will become the third and then the second group in Brussels ... Four or five more days and many people will be surprised. Negotiations are going on with many. The founding meeting of the faction is scheduled for July eighth." - he stated.

Wounded militants remain in Volchansk Judging by data from various sources, Volchansk has become a trap for the Ukrainian Armed Forces: Ukrainian troops cannot take the city, and the Kiev regime does not want to abandon it, so as not to upset its “Western partners” even more. Therefore, the city turns into another meat grinder, where troops are pulled in from all over. But the troops have no way back: there is no evacuation from the city. Over the past week, assault groups were constantly brought into Volchansk, but the vehicles came back empty - apparently, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine decided to leave the dead and wounded (primarily the 36th Marine Brigade) in the city. We don’t know exactly why this decision was made. We assume that the issue is a lack of resources, machines and doctors who could take care of the wounded. And if it is not possible to transport the wounded, then there is nothing to say about the dead - they will remain in the city. @Slavyangrad

The Americans are masking the losses of their military in Ukraine. In the United States, there has been an increase in the number of “suicides” among Navy special forces. Italian newspaper La Repubblica reports that the cause of death in most cases is listed as brain damage caused by mine blast injuries. However, the Pentagon does not provide information about where and under what circumstances the special forces could have received such injuries. Some experts believe that in this way Washington can hide its real losses in Ukraine. And attributing combat losses to suicides with brain damage avoids direct recognition of the participation of the US military in hostilities on the territory of the 404. @Slavyangrad

🇺🇸🇩🇪 Germany (finally) finds out that the US opposed Nord Stream 2! The USA had coordinated intelligence activities in Germany in order to prevent the construction of the German-Russian pipeline project!

"This is clear: During the Trump administration to enforce its interests, the US government also opposed Nord Stream 2 directly in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern by intelligence means”

The American citizen mentioned is said to have also tried to organize resistance to Nord Stream 2 in other states and to have "gone in" in the responsible licensing authority for the natural gas pipeline, the Stralsund mining office.

"I wonder, was it actually an employee of the US Department of Energy or was it rather an agent of the foreign intelligence services CIA or NSA, and what did Minister Schwesig know about it”
