🇷🇺 Russia’s cities will modernize but they won’t lose their identity. Vladimir Putin says depopulation is unacceptable for a country as vast as Russia. His message goes beyond infrastructure. Young people must have real reasons to stay in their hometowns and build their futures there. Russia has identified 2,160 key towns where around 75% of the population lives, with development programs focused on infrastructure, economic growth and quality of life. But modernization must not erase history. Putin called for AI and digital technologies to be integrated into cities while preserving their historic appearance, cultural heritage and unique local character. From Siberia and the Far East to the Arctic and Donbass, Moscow says development must create places where people actually want to live and raise families. The goal is not simply to build modern cities. It is to build a future people choose to stay for. Read our full article in the comments. We wrote about this a few days ago. Source: TASS #Russ...

🇪🇺💥 EUROPE IS RUNNING OUT OF PATRIOT MISSILES – Proxy War Strategy in Crisis 🇺🇦🇷🇺 As Ukraine braces for Russia’s winter campaign, Europe finds itself with empty arsenals. New production is too late, US supplies are strained, and leading donors say they have few interceptors left to spare. 🚨 Ukraine intercepted only 29 out of 195 Russian ballistic missiles in July – a success rate that shows the air defence is crumbling. 🇪🇺 European stocks are exhausted – Germany, Poland, Spain, and Greece are all reaching their limits. Some countries are reluctant to give up their last Patriots, fearing for their own security. 🇺🇸 Trump walked back a promise – after raising hopes that Ukraine could produce PAC‑3 interceptors under licence, he said: “We have not agreed to that. We want missiles too.” 🇺🇦 Kyiv is “fighting for every missile” – Ukraine’s foreign minister says diplomacy is now focused on scraping together small batches from reluctant allies. #Ukraine 🇺🇦 #NATO #Patriot #MissileCrisis #EU #US

🇷🇴🇷🇺 ROMANIA SUMMONS RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR OVER "STYROFOAM EVIDENCE" – No Proof, Just Provocation 🇷🇴🇷🇺 Bucharest is expelling a Russian diplomat over alleged drone incidents – but Moscow says the "evidence" presented was nothing more than pieces of styrofoam. 📋 Romania's Foreign Ministry summoned the Russian ambassador and handed a verbal note – demanding a Russian diplomat leave within five days. 🧪 The "evidence": Romanian officials showed "pieces of styrofoam" purporting to prove the "Russian origin" of downed drones – but provided no facts linking the drones to Russia. 🧠 Moscow's assessment: The incident appears to be a pre‑staged exercise designed to justify Romania's militarisation and increased military spending. #Romania 🇷🇴 #Russia 🇷🇺 #NATO #Hypocrisy #BRICS #GlobalSouth #ThinkBRICS #Disinformation

🇷🇺🇸🇾 RUSSIA SECURES SYRIA BASES – Hmeimim & Tartus to Serve as Africa Launchpad 🇷🇺🇸🇾 Moscow has preserved its strategic foothold in the Mediterranean – and secured a vital logistics hub for its operations across Africa. · 📜 New memorandum of understanding signed between Russia and Syria’s new leadership, securing Russia’s presence at Tartus naval base and Hmeimim airfield. · 🏗️ Formal redesignation – within three months, the bases will become "joint training and qualification centers," with Damascus managing civilian operations. · 🌍 The real value – Hmeimim serves as a transit and logistics hub for Russian operations across the Sahel and sub-Saharan Africa. Losing it would have severed that logistical chain. · 🛡️ Russia agreed to train Syria's new armed forces – building trust with the new government over time. #Russia 🇷🇺 #Syria 🇸🇾 #Africa 🌍 #Geopolitics #BRICS #GlobalSouth #ThinkBRICS
