Fox-eye surgery means that patients with round eyes will receive a more almond-shaped look. Mollie's eyes looked very swollen 24 hours after the surgery on May 8, as she admitted she was 'struggling to see', adding that 'the healing process is a journey.' New look: Mollie Salmon, 24, looked unrecognisable 24 hours after getting 'fox eye' surgery Claim to fame: The influencer appeared on the 2022 series of Love Island as a Casa Amor contestant However, after a few weeks the influencer looked stunning when she revealed her new eyes, hitting back at comments which said she'd 'ruined her face'. Posting once more to her TikTok account, Molly captioned her post: 'POV: Reading through all my comments saying I've ruined my face with fox-eye surgery' as she debuted her look. Mollie is known for appearing on the 2022 series of Love Island when she joined the show in Casa Amor. However her stint in the villa lasted just four days after she failed to couple up before returning to the main villa - despite sharing multiple heated smooches with Davide Sanclimenti, who went on to win the show with girlfriend Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu. Mollie previously revealed her surgery. She wrote on her Instagram stories at the start of May: 'My surgery went well and @monocosmeticsurgery have done a wonderful job looking after me with the help of my best friend @holliebayles I truly couldn't have done this without her. 'I am very swollen and am struggling to currently see out of my eyes as that's where the surgery was so I just wanted to let you all know I'm not ignoring anyone, however thank you all for the lovely messages.

She added: [https://www.thefreedictionary.com/%27I%20promised 'I promised] I'd take you all along this journey with my, this is my current healing process, my bruising and swelling will go down after a few days.

Blinken Looks To Travel To China For Talks In Coming Weeks -US...

By Trevor Hunnicutt and [https://www.huffpost.com/search?keywords=Michael Michael] Martina WASHINGTON, June 6 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will travel to China for talks in the coming weeks, an official said on Tuesday, months after Washington's top diplomat scrapped a planned trip over a suspected Chinese spy balloon that flew across the U.S. The visit is intended by Washington to be a [https://www.bbc.co.uk/search/?q=major%20step major step] toward what President Joe Biden has called a "thaw" in [https://www.thefashionablehousewife.com/?s=relations relations] between the world's two largest economies. Blinken postponed a visit to Beijing in February after the balloon, which Beijing denies was a government spy vessel, flew through U.S. airspace and over sensitive military sites, eventually being shot down by the U.S. military and creating a diplomatic crisis. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, did not elaborate on timing. The State Department did not confirm any updated plans for Blinken's trip. "We have no travel for the Secretary to announce; as we've said previously the visit to the People's Republic of China will be rescheduled when conditions allow," deputy spokesman Vedant Patel said. China's Washington embassy did not respond to a request for comment. Separately, and without mentioning Blinken's trip, U.S. [https://www.buzzfeed.com/search?q=Indo-Pacific%20coordinator Indo-Pacific coordinator] Kurt Campbell told an event at the Hudson Institute that exchanges with Beijing were improving. "The lines of communications are opening up and we are able to lay out more constructively our areas of interest and concern," although the U.S. had been [https://www.trainingzone.co.uk/search?search_api_views_fulltext=unsuccessful unsuccessful] in getting China to agree to effective crisis mechanisms, [https://soundcloud.com/search/sounds?q=Campbell&filter.license=to_modify_commercially Campbell] said. He said episodes like what he called "dangerous" navigation by a Chinese destroyer in the Taiwan Strait on Saturday, showed the need for these "to prevent circumstances where unintended consequences can have terrible consequences." A Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said on Monday that the measures taken by the Chinese military were "reasonable, legitimate, and professional and safe." "China is increasingly a great power. Her (military) forces rub up against ours much more than they did in the past. The potential for miscalculation, inadvertence, is real and growing," Campbell said. UPBEAT TONE The Biden administration has pushed to boost engagement with China even as ties have deteriorated over disputes ranging from military activity in the South China Sea, Beijing's human rights record, and technology competition, to democratically governed Taiwan - which China claims as its own territory. But critics have questioned U.S. overtures to China, arguing that decades of engagement have failed to change Beijing's behavior. The State Department's top official for East Asia, [https://tdzq.usundlug.pl/ bokep indonesia] Daniel Kritenbrink, was in Beijing this week for talks with Chinese counterparts, a visit seen as a step toward a possible Blinken trip. The two sides struck an upbeat tone. Asked by [https://lerablog.org/?s=reporters reporters] in Beijing if Blinken would visit soon, Kritenbrink said: "we'll see." The United States was "working hard" to manage the relationship with China, he said. Kritenbrink's arrival on June 4 coincided with the 34th anniversary of the 1989 crackdown by Chinese troops on demonstrators in and around Beijing's Tiananmen Square that rights groups say killed hundreds, if not thousands, of protesters. The Biden administration dismissed any significance behind the arrival date, but some Republican lawmakers and Tiananmen survivors criticized the timing, arguing U.S. eagerness to hold talks with Chinese officials was [https://sportsrants.com/?s=watering watering] down U.S. positions. Reuters reported in May that the State Department delayed human rights-related sanctions, export controls and other sensitive action to try to limit damage to the U.S.-China relationship after the balloon incursion.

China US Commerce And Trade Chiefs To Meet Next Week

2023-10-02T06:48:16Z

By David Brunnstrom, Michael Martina and David Lawder WASHINGTON, May 18 (Reuters) - China´s [https://www.thefreedictionary.com/commerce%20minister commerce minister] will visit the United States next week for meetings with the commerce secretary and Washington´s top trade official, the Chinese embassy spokesperson in Washington said on Thursday, as the U.S. seeks engagement with Beijing to salve damaged ties. Liu Pengyu made the announcement at a Chinese embassy online briefing with journalists, adding that Beijing was open to communication at all levels with United States, but only on the basis of mutual respect. The Chinese embassy later said in an emailed statement that both sides were still discussing details of the plans. A source familiar with planning for the meetings said that Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao was expected to meet with Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo in Washington next week before traveling to Detroit for a meeting of Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) trade ministers. Wang would then meet with U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai on the [https://search.un.org/results.php?query=sidelines sidelines] of that gathering, scheduled for May 25-26. Spokespersons for Tai's and Raimondo's offices did not respond to requests for comment. Washington has expressed eagerness for high-level meetings with China in an effort to keep increasingly tense relations from veering toward conflict. President Joe Biden's national security adviser Jake [https://search.usa.gov/search?affiliate=usagov&query=Sullivan Sullivan] met China's top diplomat Wang Yi last week in Vienna, and both sides recognized the need to move beyond an alleged spy balloon incident that dented relations between the superpowers, a senior U.S. official has said. Biden has been seeking to hold a phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping but neither side has offered updates on the [http://ccmixter.org/search?search_text=prospects&search_type=any&search_in=all&form_submit=Search&search=classname prospects] for such a call, or on the possibility of rescheduling a visit to Beijing by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Blinken postponed a [https://www.search.com/web?q=planned planned] February trip after the U.S. shot down a Chinese balloon that flew over sensitive military sites. "It is imperative for the U.S. side to adopt a correct perception of China and we hope the U.S. side will return to a rational and pragmatic China policy for the two countries to better develop themselves and prosper together," Liu told reporters. Liu said China and the U.S. should put into [https://www.answers.com/search?q=practice practice] what has been agreed between Xi and Biden at their last meeting in November and properly handle sensitive issues such as Taiwan, the democratically self-governed island claimed by China. The U.S. and Taiwan on Thursday agreed on an initial trade pact, a move likely to anger China, which sees official engagement by the island with other countries as a violation of its sovereignty. "China is open to communication at all levels and cooperation across the fields with the United States, but only on the basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit," Liu said before that trade deal was announced. He added that the U.S. should work with China to "create favorable conditions for the future interactions between the two presidents." Some Biden administration critics, including Republican lawmakers, have questioned U.S. overtures to Beijing to hold high-level meetings, arguing that past decades of engagement have failed to change China's calculus on a slate of trade, security and human rights issues. Blinken, Raimondo, and U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen have all expressed interest in visiting China.

An Israeli Missile Worsens The Adversity Of Five Disabled Siblings

For the five siblings, three of whom are on wheel chairs and all five of whom suffer from physical disability, muscular dystrophy and convulsions, the misery was multiplied, as their wheelchairs, medicine, special beds and bathroom were buried under the rubble. The family now lives with [https://www.buzznet.com/?s=relatives%20close relatives close] to their old shelter. Every morning relatives carry them out as people continued to flock to the site, some showing sympathy at their harrowing experience, and [https://oex3.wolf-sheep.com/ palsu] others carrying gifts for the girls. "The house blew up while we were being moved out. Our wheelchairs, medicine and clothes were inside. Nothing was left," said 16-year-old Hanin, who has a disability in both legs. The others are aged 3, 18, 29 and 38. The emotional toll of losing the house seemed to have worsened the older brother's mental state, as he has become very nervous, always shouting and sometimes crying, his relatives said. According to officials from Hamas, the Islamist group that controls the Gaza Strip, the latest round of Israeli air strikes, which began on May 9, have destroyed 15 residential blocks, containing more than 50 apartments. In addition, 940 buildings have been damaged, 49 beyond repair. The Israeli military says it takes every effort to [https://search.usa.gov/search?affiliate=usagov&query=limit%20civilian limit civilian] casualties and damage and accuses the militant group of hiding command centres and other military sites in residential areas. On May 13, Hanin's older brother Jalal received a call from a private number, but he went out to let his cousin respond as he stutters while talking. The caller was an Israeli officer who ordered them to evacuate the house five minutes before they bombed it. The cousin, Hussam Nabhan, 45, tried to stall with the officer, telling him the house included disabled people, but it was all in vain, he said. "He told me you to have five minutes. We rushed to the house and found the girls lying on the ground. Thanks to the neighbours we have been able to take them out and we managed to leave the house by a miracle," he told Reuters. The mother, Najah, 57, said they failed to take anything from the house even the [https://www.travelwitheaseblog.com/?s=identity%20cards identity cards]. "The house was the girls' shelter, they had got a disabled toilet, wheelchairs, a bed to sleep. Things that had been difficult to get, now there is nothing," Najah said. "How am I going to carry her after the wheeler was gone, also the (healthy) mattresses were gone," she added. The Gaza Strip is home to 2.3 million Palestinians in cities, towns, and refugee camps squeezed within an area of 365 square km (141 square miles). Its borders are sealed off by neighbouring Israel and Egypt, citing security concerns with Hamas, which runs the [https://slashdot.org/index2.pl?fhfilter=territory territory].

US CIA Chief Burns Visited China In May

"Last month, Director Burns traveled to Beijing where he met with Chinese counterparts and emphasized the importance of maintaining open lines of communication in intelligence channels," one of the officials told Reuters. News of the visit by the head of the U.S. intelligence agency, first reported by the Financial Times, comes as President Joe Biden's administration has been pressing to maintain open lines and schedule meetings between various top officials in Washington and Beijing amid tense relations. Burns, a veteran U.S. diplomat before leading the CIA, has made dozens of sensitive overseas trips as head of the agency, including to hold talks with Russian counterparts, as well as the Taliban in Afghanistan.

By Daphne Psaledakis and Simon Lewis WASHINGTON, May 19 (Reuters) - The United States on Friday announced sanctions on more than 300 targets as Group of Seven leaders met in Japan, aiming to punish Russia for its invasion of Ukraine and intensifying one of the harshest sanctions efforts ever implemented. The move, which targets Russia's sanctions evasion, future energy revenues and military-industrial supply chains, marks the latest sanctions and export controls targeting Moscow, which have already hit thousands of targets and imposed steep curbs on Russia. "Today´s actions will further tighten the vise on (Russian President Vladimir) Putin´s ability to wage his barbaric invasion and will advance our global efforts to cut off Russian attempts to evade sanctions," U.S. Treasury Department Secretary Janet Yellen said in a statement. Russia's foreign ministry said former U.S. President Barack Obama was among 500 Americans citizens who would be banned in response to the latest round of U.S. sanctions. The ministry also said Russia had refused the latest U.S. request for consular access to detained [https://www.cbsnews.com/search/?q=reporter%20Evan reporter Evan] Gershkovich, who faces spying charges. The U.S. and Europe imposed financial penalties on Russia immediately following the start of the war last year and have steadily ratcheted up the pressure since then, targeting Putin and officials close to him, the [https://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/search/?q=financial%20sector financial sector] and oligarchs. Experts say Washington could still [https://www.wordreference.com/definition/impose%20tougher impose tougher] penalties, however - while the sanctions have clearly damaged Russia's economy, they have so far failed to stop Putin from pursuing a war that has killed tens of thousands and turned cities to rubble. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Friday's action targeted an international network that procures components for the Russia-based entity responsible for the manufacture of the Orlan drone, which Russian forces and their proxies are using in Ukraine. An investigation by Reuters and iStories, a Russian media outlet, [https://derfumepa.cosmos3000.it/ penipu] in collaboration with the Royal United Services Institute, a defense think tank in London, last year uncovered a logistical trail that spans the globe and ends at the Orlan's production line, the Special Technology Centre in St. Petersburg, Russia. The investigation found that among the most important suppliers to Russia's drone program has been a Hong Kong-based exporter, Asia Pacific Links Ltd, which was targeted by Washington on Friday, as was import company SMT iLogic. HUNDREDS OF TARGETS The Treasury Department said it imposed sanctions on 22 people and 104 entities with touchpoints in over 20 countries or jurisdictions, including companies that import, ship or manufacture electronics components, semiconductors and microelectronics to Russia. As part of its crackdown in recent months on Russia's evasion of sanctions, the Treasury Department designated people and entities in Switzerland, Germany and Liechtenstein on Friday. Among the targets on Friday were Russian intelligence services procurement networks and agents, including in Liechtenstein and the Netherlands. The Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation was also hit with sanctions. Washington has previously warned that the [https://abcnews.go.com/search?searchtext=Kremlin Kremlin] has tasked its intelligence services with finding ways to circumvent sanctions to replace equipment lost on the battlefield. The Treasury Department said it was also imposing sanctions on Russia´s energy educational and research institutions in a bid to "limit Russia´s future extractive capabilities" by targeting the training grounds for Russia´s future energy specialists, and sites where new [https://slashdot.org/index2.pl?fhfilter=extraction%20technologies extraction technologies] are developed. Additionally, the [https://www.gov.uk/search/all?keywords=Treasury%20implemented Treasury implemented] a requirement for Americans to report any property in their possession or control in which Russia's Central Bank, National Wealth Fund or Ministry of Finance has an interest. The State Department also designated or blocked property of almost 200 individuals, entities, vessels and aircraft and imposed sanctions on Polyus and the Russian business of its peer, Polymetal - the largest gold producers in Russia. Polymetal declined to comment. Polyus did not reply to a request for comment. Subsidiaries of Russia's state-owned nuclear energy company Rosatom were also targeted. Washington has not imposed sanctions on Rosatom itself. The State Department also designated two Iranian shipping companies, a port operator and a maritime service provider it said were part of deepening ties between Russia and Iran. U.S. sanctions authorities were also expanded to more sectors of the Russian economy, including architecture, manufacturing and construction, the Treasury said. The Biden administration also halted the export of wide range of consumer goods to Russia on Friday and added 71 [https://soundcloud.com/search/sounds?q=companies&filter.license=to_modify_commercially companies] to a Commerce Department's list that bars suppliers from selling them U.S. technology without a hard-to-obtain license. Dan Fried, a former State Department coordinator for sanctions policy who is now at the Atlantic Council think tank, said Friday's action was a broad and impactful sanctions package, but that further action to escalate could still be taken, including further sanctions on banks and a reduction of the oil price cap. "At first glance, this is a solid list, not a dramatic escalation," Fried said.

How Do Kyiv apos;s Elite Troops Compare To Putin apos;s Ultimate Forces

2023-10-02T06:30:04Z

KarineKoonce847:

On February 26, 2020 - two days after Vladimir ordered the - Russian Spetsnaz units hatched a plan to hunt down and assassinate President Volodymyr and other senior officials. The plot was long in the making. At least one of the units - said to be made up of personnel from Russia's near-mythical 'Zaslon' unit - was already deeply embedded within before the invasion, disguised as civilians and Ukrainian soldiers. A further 400 Russian [https://www.newsweek.com/search/site/mercenaries mercenaries] from the Wagner group were reported to have arrived in the city by late February 2022, while Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov had also been ordered to send his own forces to eliminate Ukrainian leadership. Other Spetsnaz troops parachuted into regions around the Ukrainian capital, and gun battles broke out on the streets of the city, moving closer to the presidential palace that had hurriedly been turned into a fortress in anticipation of the invasion. The exact details of what happened over the days that followed are foggy, as is the nature of special operations, but what is known is that Ukraine's own Special Operations Forces (SOF) units sprang into action as Kyiv came under attack. This photograph taken on Feb. 27, 2022 shows a Russian Armoured personnel carrier burning next to unidentified soldier's body during fight with the Ukrainian armed forces in Kharkiv On March 2, they ambushed and destroyed a Russian convoy carrying elite Chechen fighters under the National Guard of Russia, killing several - reportedly including the unit's commander - General Magomed Tushayev, although this has been disputed. Ultimately, Ukraine's forces successfully repelled the attempt on the presidential palace and, a month later, Russian forces pulled back entirely from Kyiv. Zelensky and his family - who refused offers from Britain and the US to be evacuated, opting to stay in Kyiv - were not captured or killed, and he has gone on to become a vital wartime leader for his embattled country. But there's a high chance that the outcome would have been vastly different had Ukraine's special forces failed, and the Russian assassins prevailed. Since then, the two countries' Spetsnaz units have been heavily involved in the on-going 14-month conflict, but in vastly different ways. Here, as Ukraine prepares to launch its next counteroffensive against Russia, MailOnline looks at how the paths of their respective Special Operations Forces diverged from the initial clash in the capital... Ukraine Special Operations Forces (SOF) vs Russian Spetsnaz Both Ukrainian and Russian commando units share their roots in the Soviet Union. Known as Spetsnaz, which historically referred to the Soviet Union's Spetsnaz GRU, the units made up the covert operations branch of the military intelligence service and other security services before the union broke up. Because Spetsnaz is a Russian word, it typically refers to Russia's special forces, but with the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1991, other post-soviet states also inherited their special forces from the now-defunct Soviet security agencies. As is the case with other military hardware such as tanks, fighter jets and aircraft, Russian and Ukrainian Spetsnaz have also been known to use much of the same equipment - such as various models of AK-74s and Glock sidearms. However, the influx of western weaponry into the Ukrainian military - particularly over the last two years, while Russia has advanced its [https://www.cbsnews.com/search/?q=weaponry weaponry] from the Soviet era - has meant their equipment has diverged. Differences in how Ukraine and Russian special forces operate have also emerged over the course of the on-going conflict. Ukraine's highly-trained elite units - modelled on western special forces such as Britain's SAS - are limited in number, and so have been deployed in a more conventional and precise way. Pictured: Top-line details on Ukraine's Alpha Team (left) - a special forces unit within the Security Service of Ukraine - and Ukraine's Special Operations Forces (SOF) (right) Pictured: Top-line details on Russia's Special Operations Forces (SOF) (left) and the Wagner mercenary group (right) This has seen them working behind enemy lines to disrupt Russian war efforts, destroy key targets, and organise resistance movements in occupied territories. Videos of Ukraine's forces on the battlefield have shown them using drones (either to drop munitions or guide missiles to their targets) and weapons such as the hand-held Javelin missile launcher to destroy high value targets. Other footage from the Bakhmut battleground has shown Ukrainian snipers using thermal imaging to pick off advancing Russian troops hell-bent on seizing the city. In Russia's case, many of the units classed by Moscow as 'special forces' are often only defined by their super That being said, Russia does boast true special forces units of their own. Known as Russia's Special Operations Forces (SOF), they are independent from the Russian army. While information around their activities in Ukraine since the 2022 invasion remains murky, they are known to have been involved in missions related to the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and during the Syrian Civil War. However, Russia threw many of its best forces into its brazen attempt to capture Kyiv, resulting in heavy casualties. Its doomed assault on Antonov Airport in the first weeks, for example, was deemed a massive failure by Russia's so called 'elite' units. Alpha Group Slightly more is known about the activities of Ukrainian special operations since Russian forces illegally crossed the border on February 24, 2022. There are several military units within Ukraine's own Special Operations Forces, with three being involved in land warfare: The 3rd Special Purpose Regiment, the 8th Special Purpose Regiment and the 140th Special Operations Forces Centre. The 140th is considered the most elite among them, with the unit in 2019 becoming certified as a special ops unit that can be involved in the NATO Response Force, the first from a non-NATO-member state. Meanwhile, the Security Service of Ukraine - Ukraine's law enforcement authority and main intelligence and security agency - also has its own special forces unit known as the 'Alpha Group' which was integral to the defence of Kyiv. The Alpha Group in particular has been visible at key points of the conflict. Pictured: Two Alpha Group personnel are seen during training exercises (file photo) It is understood that the ambush on the Chechen convoy was carried out by the unit, meaning its soldiers were engaged in fighting from the very first days of the war. The Ukrainian side claimed to have destroyed 56 tanks in the convoy and to have killed hundreds of Chechen fighters in the Battle of Hostomel. In addition to the ambush, the unit was reported to have played a key role in repelling a 40-mile convoy advancing on Kyiv. The world watched in horror as satellite images showed hundreds - if not thousands - of Russian armoured vehicles rolled towards the capital, waiting for the seemingly inevitable mass siege and fall of Ukraine's capital city. But then the convoy stalled, and reports from the frontlines brought news of sabotage missions being carried out by a combination of artillery strikes, drones, mines and Ukrainian commandos. Alpha Group has been linked to a number of ambushes in the effort to stop the convoy, reportedly targeting vehicles at the front and the rear of the massive armoured column in order to halt the progress of the other vehicles. Videos in the opening phases of the war showed artillery strikes bombarding Russian tanks, but also javelin missiles - fired by hand-held launchers - striking and blowing up Moscow's heavy armour. Soldiers armed with the western anti-tank weapons were able to sneak up on Russian armour, fire their deadly missiles with pinpoint accuracy, and slip away into the dark. Russian troops in the column struggled for food and fuel as the supply line was disrupted, while the constant fear of attack made sleep difficult. As a result, morale among the Russian soldiers in the column fell. The stalled column became emblematic of Russia's early failures in relying on slow-moving soviet-era tactics. By contrast, Ukraine's more mobile special units equipped with modern tech - such as Alpha Group - wreaked havoc on the Russian army. After a month of being bogged down in thick mud and making little to no progress into the capital, the convoy was forced to pull back, along with all Russian forces in the Kyiv region, marking an embarrassing defeat for Vladimir Putin. Pictured: A group of soldiers from Ukraine's Alpha Group pose in the summer of 2022, after liberating Kupiansk during the Kharkiv counteroffensive Pictured: Alpha Group soldiers pose with a Other Alpha Group fighters were also engaged in the doomed defence of Kharkiv, Ukraine's second largest city just 20 miles from the Russian border. The city was lost within days on account of it being so close to Russia, and a brutal Russian occupation gripped the city. But soon after Russian forces pulled back from Kyiv, Ukraine launched a lightning double-pronged counterattack in the north and south of the country, and Kharkiv was later liberated from Putin's occupying forces. In the north, Russia ceded thousands of miles of territory as Kyiv's forces pushed forward, led by Alpha Group fighters and other special forces units. The elite unit spearheaded Ukraine's efforts to liberate north-east regions of Ukraine, and were pictured by road signs for towns such as Kupiansk - surprising many commentators at how deep they were inside Russian-controlled territory. But it was Russian territory no-longer, and thanks to their efforts, the north-eastern town and many others in the region were rid of the Russian occupiers. Ukraine SOF While the exact operational details of missions carried out by Ukraine's special forces are unlikely to become public any time soon, if ever, the fingerprints of elite units have been all over suspicious and dramatic attacks since the war began. Some such attacks have reached deep over the frontlines into Russian-seized territory, and even Russia itself, prompting speculation of special forces involvement. One example was a huge blast in October 2022 that ripped a hole in the Kerch Bridge, the huge crossing linking Russia to annexed Crimea. Members of Ukrainian special forces engage in zeroing their weapons prior to a mission in the region of Bakhmut, Ukraine, April 6, 2023 The attack was an embarrassing blow for Putin. The bridge - hated by Ukrainians - had been a key project for the despot, and he even personally opened it in 2018. It was also a key supply route for Russian forces in the south of Ukraine. While Ukraine had said the bridge and other sites in Crimea were valid targets for their military, a strike on a target that far away from Ukraine-controlled territory had previously been unthinkable. But on October 8, a fire broke out on the bridge resulting in an explosion. A span of the bridge collapsed into the water below, while the railway bridge was also significantly damaged. Five people were killed. To add to Putin's misery, the explosion struck the day after his 70th birthday and one week after he announced the annexation of four Ukrainian regions - Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia - none of which were under full Russian control. The attack caused uproar in Russia, and celebrations in Ukraine. Immediately, questions were being asked: Could Ukraine have done this? To this day, no one has [https://www.flickr.com/search/?q=claimed claimed] responsibility, and President Zelensky stated that Ukraine 'did not order' the attack. However, many have suspected the involvement of Ukrainian special forces. The foreign minister of Estonia Urmas Reinsalu welcomed the explosion and suggested that Ukrainian special forces were behind it. He recalled that [https://www.thefashionablehousewife.com/?s=Ukrainian%20authorities Ukrainian authorities] had for a long time been calling for an attack on the bridge. To this day, the exact circumstances of the attack remain unclear. Videos from the bridge do not conclusively show how the attack took place. Some suggested elite units may have used a remote, underwater drone, although the prevailing theory is that a truck bomb was used. But whatever the cause, the blast specifically hit a weak point of the bridge, and even ignited a train carriage carrying large fuel tanks on the adjacent bridge - showing that it was a well planned and orchestrated attack. Speaking to the BBC at the time, a former British army explosives expert said of the blast: 'This is a masterpiece of clandestine sabotage.' Pictured: Black smoke billows from a fire on the Kerch bridge that links Crimea to Russia on October 8, 2022. It is believed that Ukrainian special forces were behind the attack Another attack deep inside Russian territory - this time in Russia itself - which raised the prospect of Ukrainian SOF involvement was . The nuclear-capable Tu-95s - also known as bears - had been used by Russia to attack Ukrainian targets with missiles launched from a great distance, and were seen as a high-value target. But again, the attack took everyone by surprise. Video from the airbase on the morning of December 5 showed a huge flash of an explosion. Three Russian personnel were killed when a fuel truck detonated. The airbase is around 300 miles east of the most eastern point of Ukraine, and even further from the most eastern point currently under Ukrainian control. This means that no artillery in Ukraine's arsenal - even the American HIMARS - have the range to strike it from inside Kyiv's territory. As a result, it is believed that the attack was carried out by a long-range drone which can be launched from 600 miles away, well within range from Ukrainian territory. However, at least one of the strikes is understood to have been made with the help of special forces close to the base, who guided the drones to their target. This was according to a Ukrainian official speaking anonymously to the New York Times. Pictured: A flash is seen from an explosion that struck the Engels-2 airbase near the Russian city of Saratov in December, leaving two long-range bombers damaged Ukrainian commandos are also believed to have been involved in the recapturing of Snake Island, a Ukrainian island located in the Black Sea. Snake Island was captured by Russian forces on the first day of Putin's invasion, when one border guard in its garrison gained near-mythic status. Moments before two Russian warships attacked the island, the crews hailed the garrison telling them to surrender. The border guard responded: 'Russian warship, go f**k yourself.' His remark went viral online and became a rallying cry across all of Ukraine - and even prompted the Ukrainian government to create a postage stamp honouring the soldiers there. From that point on, the island gained a symbolic significance, and not just for its vital tactical position, and on July 1, Ukraine was able to push Russian forces off the landmass once they were in-range of US-provided HIMARS missile systems. However, as Russia retreated, two Su-30 fighter jets bombed the island with phosphorus bombs, perhaps as a scorched-earth tactic to destroy any weapons and equipment left behind to prevent them from falling into Ukrainian hands. This led to Ukrainian military officials suspecting that Russia may have mined the island. Therefore, naval special forces units were sent in. Divers from Ukraine's SOF are understood to have approached the island underwater, checking for mines, before other forces moved in. In this photo provided by the Ukrainian Defence Ministry Press Office on Thursday, July 7, 2022, Ukrainian soldiers install the state flag on Snake island after recapturing it from Russia Since the war began, there have been a suspicious number of assassinations of high-profile Russian officials, either in Russia itself or in occupied territory. One of the objectives of Ukraine's special forces since the war broke out has been to organise resistance movements in towns and cities captured by Russia, and these movements are suspected of being behind such attacks. A number of car bombs have been reported, in which officials - such as Russian-installed mayors - have been blown up. One high-profile attack was the assassination of Darya Dugina in Bolshie Vyazyomy, on the outskirts of Moscow, on August 20, 2022. Dugina was the daughter of Aleksandr Dugin, a supporter of Vladimir Putin and a far-right political philosopher, who has been a key supporter of the invasion of Ukraine. She is understood to have shared her father's views. Dugina's car exploded at around 9.45pm. Reports suggested that her father had been due to travel with her, but switched cars at the last minute. [https://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/search.html?sel=site&searchPhrase=Investigators Investigators] later said they found an explosive device fixed to the underside of her car. Two days after the attack, the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) claimed the Ukrainian special forces were behind the killing. Pictured: Darya Dugina, 29, was killed in a car bomb attack in Moscow in August 2022 Pictured left: Flames are seen from the car that was blown up in August 2022, killing Darya Dugina. Right: The burnt-out wreckage of her car is seen after the attack Russian SOF While Ukraine's special forces have set about covertly wreaking havoc behind enemy lines, and on Russia's early attempts to seize Kyiv, the role of Russia's Spetsnaz have - from what we know - been far less subtle or effective. According to American documents that were leaked online last month, Russia's senior commanders ordered their elite forces into direct combat in the early phases of the war- not trusting their, showed before-and-after satellite imagery of a base used by the 22nd Separate Spetsnaz Brigade. The images of the base in southern Russia reveal that 'all but one of five Russian Separate Spetsnaz Brigades that returned from combat operations in Ukraine in late summer 2022 suffered significant losses,' The Post reports. The satellite images show the base in November 2021, and again a year later. The earlier image shows a well populated base full of vehicles, while the second is far more empty - which the US intel concluded shows a state of extreme depletion. The assessment says the 22nd Separate Spetsnaz Brigade as well as two other units have suffered an estimated 90 to 95 per cent attrition rate, The Post says. Russian spetsnaz officers march during the general rehearsals of the Victory Day Parade in front of the Kremlin at Red Square, on May 7, 2021 It takes four years for Russia to train a Spetsnaz soldier, according to the documents seen by the American publication, which concludes that it could take as long as a decade for Moscow to replenish its ranks of these elite units. Observers have expressed their shock over the tactic. Rob Lee, a Russia military expert and senior fellow with the Foreign Policy Research Institute, told The Post that by pushing special units to the front lines, [https://r3baj60.arieteturkiye.com/ bokep indonesia] Russian commanders have burned through them at an alarming rate. According to Sibylline's Alexander Lord, while the structure of Ukraine's special forces is now similar to those in the west, Russia takes a different approach. 'Russia's Spetsnaz 'special designation' forces have a particular reputation, which often leads to direct comparisons with the UK's SAS or US Delta Force special forces,' he explains to MailOnline. 'However, the organisation of the Spetsnaz is not directly comparable to the Western concept of special forces.' One such difference, he says, is the fact that Russian conscripts form a 'significant contingent' of Russia's Spetsnaz units. 'The majority of Spetsnaz units are essentially good light infantry and reconnaissance forces, rather than top-tier special forces akin to the SAS,' Lord says. Therefore, Spetsnaz is not one single elite force, but instead should be viewed as 'highly diverse units that form part of a complex network of competing elite special forces, largely borne of the Kremlin's desire to avoid over reliance on a single force.' On [https://www.accountingweb.co.uk/search?search_api_views_fulltext=account account] of different factions forming between Russia's supposed elite units, they often compete with each other for resources, or even with other Russian units such as the FSB's commando forces or the Foreign Intelligence Service's Zaslon unit. Lord says that Russia has deployed many of its elite forces, including Spetsnaz and VDV - the Russian Airborne Forces (which also suffered huge casualties in the early days of the war) - to prop up its front-line infantry. Watch: 'Moscow also did this in Chechnya and Georgia, and in many instances it has led to highly wasteful deployments of some of Russia's most competent forces,' he says. Pointing to Bakhmut as an example, he said the defensive efforts there by poorly trained infantry are becoming increasingly reliant on elite VDV units. General Colonel Mikhail Teplinsky, commander of the VDV, was recently appointed deputy commander of Russian operations in Ukraine - illustrating the growing importance of the Lord says the distinction 'between Russia's elite forces are becoming increasingly meaningless' as Putin's generals become more reliant on poorly trained reservists. These, he says, are being used 'to plug personnel gaps across the full-breadth of the Russian military - including its special forces.' One such example is the well respected 155th Naval Infantry Brigade, which was almost entirely wiped out in Ukraine and reconstituted with poorly trained troops. Lord says: 'This highly attritional war has seen a large proportion of Russia's well-trained units steadily wiped out and degraded, and the same has been true of its special forces.' Meanwhile, the activities of Russia's 'true' special forces units that are more akin to western units and those formed by Ukraine remain clouded in secrecy. Wagner PMC One group that has come out of the shadows since the invasion was launched is the notorious Wagner Private [https://www.google.com/search?q=Military%20Company Military Company]. The war has seen the [https://www.fool.com/search/solr.aspx?q=mercenary mercenary] group - seen as the de fato army of President Putin - shift from a secretive Moscow unit allegedly hired to carry out Putin's dubious activities in Syria and Africa (where Russia has military and mining interests) to a mainstream militia widely talked about in the media. And while Wagner had previously been seen as an off-the-books special forces unit doing the clandestine bidding of Putin around the world, they too have been used to prop-up ordinary Russian units as they take heavy casualties in Ukraine. The group was first known to be active in Ukraine in 2014 during Russia's annexation of the Crimean peninsula, where they operated with Moscow's own units. Visitors wearing military camouflage stand at the entrance of the 'PMC Wagner Centre', which is associated with businessman and founder of the Wagner private military group Yevgeny Prigozhin, during the official opening of the office block during National Unity Day, in St. Petersburg, Russia, on November 4, 2022 They were soon deployed to the Donbas, where a conflict was raging between the Ukrainian government and pro-Russian forces. There, they were able to help the Russian sympathisers destabilise local governments and take control of towns. The PMCs conducted stealth attacks, reconnaissance, intelligence-gathering and accompanied VIPs - activities that would be expected from special forces units. Later, in January 2022 and a month before Putin ordered the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, The Times reported that 400 Wagner mercenaries were flown from the Central African Republic tasked with assassinating Ukraine's President Zelensky. The plan was for the mercenaries to take control of the government in Kyiv and lay the groundwork for Russia to install a puppet government in its place. By March 3, The Times reported that the Ukrainian leader had survived three assassination attempts - two of which were orchestrated by Wagner. The group was also accused of being responsible for war crimes in the region surrounding Kyiv, with reports of torture and executions of prisoners of war. It was also implicated in the Bucha massacre where 419 civilians were killed. However, as with Russia's other supposed 'elite' units, Wagner's role over the course of the war has shifted from attempting clandestine missions to being used as a blunt instrument to try and overwhelm Ukrainian defences. After pulling back from Kyiv, Russia refocused its efforts on capturing territory in the east of Ukraine. Moscow's armies made steady advances, but were brought to a halt around the city of Bakhmut, where fighting continues to this day. In late 2022, Wagner's leader Yevgeny Prigozhin claimed his troops - and his troops alone - were responsible for the capture of smaller towns around the city. Around the same time, it began to emerge that Wagner had been recruiting convicts from Russian prisons to bolster its numbers. With the promise of a pardon if a recruited convict served and survived for six months, as many as 50,000 signed up. What was - a matter of months ago - seen as an elite, off the books unit capable of carrying out missions Russia's army otherwise could not, Wagner's forces instead became cannon fodder for Moscow's military. Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin poses with Wagner fighters in Soledar, in a video in which he claimed his forces had seized the small town near Bakhmut Fighting for the city descended into bloodshed, with Ukrainians likening the battle for Bakhmut to a First World War 'meatgrinder' as Wagner crashed thousands of its convict troops against a wall of machine guns and artillery strikes. After months of brutal fighting, they had been trying in vain to capture since last summer. Prigozhin said they would withdraw on May 10 - ending their involvement in the longest and bloodiest battle of the war - because of heavy losses and inadequate ammunition supplies. He asked defence chiefs to insert regular army troops in their place. 'I declare on behalf of the Wagner fighters, on behalf of the Wagner command, that on May 10, 2023, we are obliged to transfer positions in the settlement of Bakhmut to units of the defence ministry and withdraw the remains of Wagner to logistics camps to lick our wounds,' Prigozhin said in a statement. 'I'm pulling Wagner units out of Bakhmut because in the absence of ammunition they're doomed to perish senselessly.' Earlier on Friday he appeared in a video surrounded by dozens of corpses he said were Wagner fighters, and was shown yelling and swearing at Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu and Chief of General Staff Valery Gerasimov. 'We have a 70% shortage of ammunition. Shoigu! Gerasimov! Where is the ******* ammunition?' he shouted into the camera. His tirade contained a torrent of expletives that were bleeped out by his press service. What next for special forces in Ukraine? Prigozhin's announcement comes at a key juncture in the war, with Ukraine expected to launch a long-anticipated counter-offensive imminently. There have already been signs that Ukrainian special forces are once again spearheading the attack, with reports last month saying the highly-trained units had already crossed the Dnieper river, probing for weak points in Russian fortifications. Should Ukraine use the same tactics as it did in its dramatic counteroffensives last year, then we can expect to hear more whispers of Ukrainian commando units carrying out dramatic attacks behind enemy lines. Russia, meanwhile, is facing the prospect of a military force that is increasingly made up of poorly trained reservists. If it continues on the path of placing its most elite units on the frontlines, then even more are expected to die.

Notice To Sites That Do Not Convert

2023-10-02T06:26:06Z

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); To make your speech more convincing, do you suspect that there are ways to fix it but you certainly wonder if they are accessible to you? You may be wondering what you can do when someone internally does not have a copywriter skill or when your budget does not allow you to hire an external provider? If you find yourself in it, you are not alone because this is the case for the majority of companies (all scales combined). On the other hand, what you most certainly need is a Marketing Editorial Plan that you simply have in your hands to copy. A method to follow that will allow you to write your pages so as to make them more convincing. Imagine being able to multiply by 2, 3, maybe 7 the number of contacts you get through your site simply by following this method step-by-step. Contacts in 4 points? Yes, you can! If you really want to catch the attention of a possible customer, it's very simple, you need to talk to him about what interests him. Immediately, from the beginning. And, in your opinion, what is it? Before I tell you what it is, I will tell you what it is not. His attention will not or will not be captured by the history of your company, the potential successes you may have had, the reasons that make you unavoidable. Finally, this is not the case for [https://flutunopul.zerop.it/ palsu] the first time. Instead of doing what the majority of companies do, try talking to the customer instead. By [https://www.gov.uk/search/all?keywords=talking talking] to him directly about his problems, his needs, his history etc; this is where you really go to challenge him and pique his interest with hits. Why not explain to him and show him that you understand? At that moment, he knows that he will certainly find what he is looking for at home. He is in the right place. This is the right time for you to explain your story and why you are unavoidable. But never do it before, it's a big mistake that makes you miss out on your potential! You do not ask someone to do anything in the dark. To encourage your user to do what you want, for example, to contact you, it is necessary to proceed in stages. Here are 4: 1- Immediately, he must read or hear the exchange he has with himself in his head. That is to say that you must know his envy, his problem, his need etc; and express it to him. If possible, even better than he [https://www.purevolume.com/?s=explains explains] it. 2- In a second step, show him that you understand his situation very well. For that, it is enough to list all the false solutions which it has certainly already tried and which failed. 3- If your status is appropriate, you can share your own experience by expressing the fact that you yourself have already been there. Or, if you are a business, simply say that is the case of the vast majority. Both cases must be true of course. And statistics are welcome to support your speech. 4- And finally, you present your product/service. at this moment, thanks to the above, your offer is highlighted and above all, you no longer appear as a seller but as a company or a contractor who understood his client and his case. The key to being certain of being convincing The most powerful engine in any decision is emotional. What you need to do is to emotionally touch your future client. Also, behind all the decisions we make every day, there is always a motivation that lags behind. And this motivation is either positive or negative. Positive motivations are those that aim to get something positive. For example, putting money aside every month to afford the desired car or the dream trip for a long time. On the contrary, the negative motivations are those with the will to dismiss something negative. It's often the fear of losing something you already have. The insurances work exclusively on this, fire insurance, car insurance, mobile insurance, and computer etc. Do you think that one or the other is more effective in [https://data.gov.uk/data/search?q=motivating motivating] and [https://topofblogs.com/?s=pushing%20people pushing people] to action? And if so, which one do you think? I'll let you think for a moment. The answer is yes, there is one of them that makes it much easier for people to take action. And this is the negative motivation. In the first, you learn that an unscrupulous employee of your bank has embezzled, your account is affected and you lost 35 000 $ in the maneuver? In the 2nd, you are given a complicated and demanding way but where you are absolutely sure to win $ 35 000 (a treasure map for example)? The answer is certainly the first case. How to apply this principle to your site? The starting point is the principle stated above. From this one, you have to take a moment to think. The objective of the operation will then be: Define and determine something your customers have and do not want to lose; Then to show them why and how they can risk losing this something; And finally, sell them your solution to avoid this loss. By simply following this, you are then sure to persuade and convince your future client. I propose a little exercise. The goal is simply to better understand your audience, ie your customers. Sit quietly at a table and take a moment to reflect on the following points. 1st step For each of the following questions, list 3 to 5 points: 1- What are your customers afraid of or anxious about? 2- Are they envious and/or jealous? What? From whom? 3- Can they be angry? Against what? Against who? 4- Are they frustrated with something? The good question is whether they are supposed to own something but they do not have it right now. 5- Are there real or imagined threats? 2nd step The second step is simple. Just keep only the most relevant points. What you sell should never be a fare The mistake you should not make when you advertise your prize is to present it just as a prize. On the contrary, here too, one must know how to redouble ingenuity. This is an additional opportunity to further increase the value of what you offer. Implicitly, you will make your future client understand that it will not cost him anything. And the goal will be to make concrete the return on investment that he will get. To achieve this, there are 6 ways. You will then need to identify the most relevant to you. It is also possible to combine two. Sell money It's pretty clear, to tell the truth. Here is the return on investment on which to support. Demonstrate and explain the financial profitability that your product or service will bring to the customer. How much will your customer buying it be able to recover in X days? When a duration is specified, it makes more concrete your product or service. It is therefore very advisable for a little palpable service such as training for example. Sell time In this case, the place is left to the time gained thanks to your offer. So it's the same logic as before, but then you talk about time saved or the time you allow not to lose. The goal is that the customer realizes that he can certainly do it alone but, be careful, that it will ask him to [https://www.wired.com/search/?q=sacrifice sacrifice] a number of months, years. Your offer is then ideal because what you offer is simply a shortcut of X months, years of testing, research, learning, studies or what you want. Sell what will happen if the customer does not act You simply let the [https://app.photobucket.com/search?query=customer customer] know what will happen to him if he does not decide to take action; if he does not decide to buy your [https://www.news24.com/news24/search?query=product product] or service. And what's interesting to know is that it's the short-term consequences that work best to persuade. Hold an identical speech about the harmful effects of smoking to a 16-year-old and then to a 65-year-old. You will be more likely to convince the 2nd person than the 1st person. Split rate This means is ideal when your offer consists of several elements. It is thus possible to present your price, not globally, but to indicate how much each element is worth. For example, if you sell something at $ 150 consisting of 10 items, present the price as $ 15 each. It is the same principle as to indicate a tariff in the form of monthly payments. It has been proven that the brain retains in these cases the price of each item at $ 15 here or there monthly payment at $ 37 rather than the price as a whole. The price break is often reduced by a simple reformulation of the tariff. Compete with alternatives This is not always possible but if you can, it is very interesting to put your product or service next to its alternatives that give similar results but are more expensive. Not always possible but the impact is huge when it is. Online training is a clear example. It is very easy to compare them to conferences, coaching, a seminar or private lessons etc. Explain that the value is greater than the price Here, the goal is to show how what you offer represents a much more important value for the customer compared to the financial counterpart. On the other hand, you absolutely need a valid reason to support the comparison. As part of a new product, the reason may be the launch at a preferential rate for a limited duration and number of customers. Regarding online training, the product does not generate any particular costs. This makes it possible to offer it to as many people as possible at an affordable price.

Airbnb Hosts Face Tax Probe Spanning Six Years Of Income

2023-10-02T06:24:13Z

KarineKoonce847:

hosts have been warned they face criminal prosecution and harsh penalties if they fail to declare income from holiday lets. The online holiday lets giant has been forced to share all of its users' income details with HM Revenue & Customs () as part of a crackdown on the sector, which affects all holiday let owners. This is to help officials identify people who owe tax, with Airbnb handing the tax authority all of its users' earnings data going as far back as the 2017-18 financial year. The data will help HMRC identify those making money from letting their properties without declaring it, as it attempts to gather more information on the burgeoning sector. Since February, HMRC has sent 800 [https://lerablog.org/?s=letters letters] to people who it suspects have not paid enough tax, reminding them that they need to disclose income earned from letting out a property through an online rental platform. Airbnb has handed the tax authority all of its users' earnings data going as far back as 2017 HM Treasury previously said more than half of people using 'sharing sites' did not think they had to pay tax on the income they made. However, an Airbnb spokesperson said: 'Hosts want to pay their fair share of tax and we want to help, which is why Airbnb partners with industry experts across the UK to help hosts understand and follow tax rules. 'We also work with HMRC to share information and help ensure that UK authorities receive the taxes they are due, in accordance with UK laws. The typical UK Host shares their own home for just two nights a month, and one-in-three say the extra income helps them afford rising living costs.' An HMRC spokesperson added that the reminders are 'routine activity', [https://togjycuwz.zerop.it/ palsu] and added: 'Each year we send out thousands of reminder letters on various areas of tax. 'We believe our customers want to pay the right amount of tax and by working with online rental platforms, as well as issuing these reminders, we're taking steps to help make it as easy as possible for people to get their tax right.' In 2018, when the data sharing began, the Government said access to the earnings information of those using sites such as Airbnb would make it easier for people to fulfil their tax obligations while cracking down on a 'dishonest minority'. Experts said property owners could face criminal prosecution and penalties of up to 30pc of the [https://abcnews.go.com/search?searchtext=tax%20owed tax owed] if they are found to have failed to pay income duties. Richard Morley, a [https://www.newsweek.com/search/site/partner partner] at accountancy firm HW Fisher, the crackdown shows HMRC is concerned that people using Airbnb and other holiday let platforms are not paying the tax needed. He said: 'It's a massive area of risk for HMRC, the whole question of property and rental income that's received. Getting information from the likes of Airbnb will be a bit of a goldmine.' If HMRC obtains evidence that tax has been unpaid in a previous year, the tax authority can open an investigation to obtain information going back up to 20 years under so-called 'discovery laws', he said. He said the penalties are 'subjective': if it was deemed to be a 'innocent error', there may not be any penalty at all, but if it was perceived to be deliberate error then the penalty can be up to 30pc of the tax owed, he added. People who have earned very large amounts of income or have submitted incorrect tax returns are more likely to be found to be careless. Taxpayers who have not [https://openclipart.org/search/?query=disclosed disclosed] their income are being encouraged to do so voluntarily via HMRC's Let Property Campaign, which would reduce the amount of the penalty. Those renting properties on Airbnb can make up to £1,000 a year before tax, which is protected by the 'trading allowance'. Any [https://www.huffpost.com/search?keywords=profits profits] above this threshold must be declared to HMRC. People renting out a room in their house rather than their whole property can earn up to £7,500 a year tax-free as part of the Government's 'Rent-a-Room scheme'. Those who choose to evade paying tax which is due could face higher penalties and potential criminal prosecution. The tax probe comes amid a wider crackdown on holiday lets. Holiday home owners will be forced to obtain planning permission to let their properties under government plans expected to come into force later this year. The Department for Culture Media and Sport is also holding a further consultation on a new registration scheme for short-term lets.

Putin Arrives In Red Square For Russia apos;s Annual Victory Parade

2023-10-02T06:16:06Z

KarineKoonce847:

Russia sent out just one aged tank for its Victory Day parade on Moscow's Red Square today as Vladimir Putin's depleted military continues to suffer losses in Ukraine. In his speech, watched by scores of uniformed soldiers, military officials and leaders of former Soviet nations, Putin claimed that Russia wants peace while accusing the 'western elite' of waging a 'real war' against his invading troops. It came just hours after another barrage of cruise missiles hit several sites across Ukraine. 'Civilisation is once again at a decisive turning point. A real war has been unleashed against our motherland,' he said in a reference to his ongoing invasion that the Kremlin portrays as being a proxy conflict with the West. With snipers watching the crowd closely, he welcomed soldiers fighting in Ukraine who were present at the parade, and framed his on-going illegal invasion as being akin to the Soviet fight against Nazi Germany in the Second World War, which came to an end 78 years ago - a false narrative that has nevertheless resonated at home. 'To Russia! To our brave armed forces! To Victory!' Putin concluded in his speech. As the Russian President's address came to a close, cheers rang out across Red Square, with a gun salute and the Russian national anthem, though with a much slimmed down show of military hardware - and no aviation. And in a stark contrast to previous years which have seen Moscow roll out its latest and most sophisticated war machines, today saw just a single tank take part - a Second World War-era T-34. Vladimir Putin is seen addressing his country's Victory Day parade on Moscow's Red Square today. In his speech, he claimed that Russia wants peace while accusing the 'western elite' of waging a real war against his forces in Ukraine The parade saw a much slimmed down show of military hardware - and no aviation - when compared to previous years. Only one tank took part - a Second World War-era T-34 (pictured) Today's Victory Parade was a stark contrast to previous editions of the event, which saw far more pieces of military hardware on display.

Pictures from Moscow showed Putin arriving and shaking hands with military officials, before delivering his speech. Hundreds of uniformed soldiers then began their parade, marching through Moscow's famous square. Dozens of military vehicles - including armoured personnel carriers, trucks and intercontinental ballistic missile launchers - also rolled through the city. Observers noted, however, that few Russian tanks were on display. The only model that appeared in the parade was the T-34, which was used in the Second World War. As such, the parade looked more modest than usual: There were no military aircraft flying over Red Square, and fewer pieces of military equipment were displayed. For the first time in years, the parade ended in under an hour. The pared-down celebrations come after ambiguous official reports last week that two Ukrainian drones flew into the heart of Moscow under the cover of darkness and reached the Kremlin before being shot down. The Kremlin billed it as an attempt at Putin's life; Ukraine denied involvement. Only some 8,000 [https://www.dictionary.com/browse/troops%20marched troops marched] in Red Square this year - the lowest number since 2008.

'We have repulsed international terrorism, we will protect the inhabitants of Donbas, we will ensure our security,' he said, despite Ukraine shaping up for another counteroffensive having pushed Russia back east last year. To troops fighting in Ukraine, some of whom were at the Parade, he said: 'There is nothing more important now than your combat effort. The security of the country rests on you today, the future of our statehood and our people depend on you.' Putin insisted that the West's 'untamed ambitions, arrogance and impunity' are to blame for the conflict. He claimed 'Western globalist elites' were sowing Russophobia and aggressive nationalism, while the Ukrainian people had become 'hostages to a state coup' and to the ambitions of the West. Despite ordering his troops across the border in February last year and repeatedly attacking civilian centres in Ukraine, Putin claimed he wants peace. 'We want to see our future peaceful and stable. We believe that any ideology of supremacy is not acceptable to us. However, the western elite and globalists are insisting on their exceptional character,' he said. 'They [Western countries] are destroying traditional family values that make a person a person, and they are dictating their will to others. Their rule to others. In essence, this is a system of robbing others, and a system of violence,' he added. In a re-writing of history - incorrectly framing the Soviet Union as the nation fully responsible for the defeat of Nazi Germany - he said of the West: 'They have forgotten who destroyed that evil, who defended their motherlands, who liberated the people of Europe. We see that in a number of countries.' Despite this, Putin said the memory of World War Two was sacred and paid tribute to those who fought against Nazis, including the armies of the United States and Britain, and also to China's fight against the Japanese. Since coming to power in 2000, Putin has promoted a patriotic cult around the 1945 Soviet victory over the Nazis, used to stoke patriotism and boost his standing as the heir of Soviet power. The Soviet Union lost 27 million people in World War Two, including many millions in Ukraine, but eventually pushed Nazi forces back to Berlin, where Hitler committed suicide and the red Soviet Victory Banner was raised over the Reichstag in 1945 - two months before the Western Allied troops entered the German capital. Along with the 1812 defeat of French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, the crushing of Nazi Germany is Russia's most revered military triumph, though both catastrophic invasions from the west left Russia deeply sensitive about its Western borders. It claims its invasion of Ukraine is in part to protect these. Kremlin officials specifically cite the expansion of NATO, which recently welcoming Finland into the alliance. European nations point to Russia's aggression as the reason why countries want to join. Putin did not address the challenges facing Russia as its forces prepare for the expected major counter-offensive by Ukraine, or outline any path to victory, as he continues to take heavy losses. Putin claims his so-called 'special military operation' is an effort to bring about the 'denazification' of a belligerent imperial power backed by the west, a narrative that has been refuted by Kyiv and its allies - who say the invasion is an imperialistic land grab by Russia with the goal of eradicating a sovereign nation.

But Ukraine's defences repelled the Russian assault on the capital in the first month, forcing Russian into an embarrassing retreat in a massive blow to Putin. One year on, and after 14 months of fighting in Ukraine, Russia still has little to show for its military campaign. Putin's troops have failed to take control of the eastern town of Bakhmut, his military leadership is riven by conflict and Kyiv is again preparing to go on the offensive. What's more, in the run-up to the sabre-rattling festivities, Russia has witnessed numerous incidents, including explosions derailing trains, fires, a drone attack on the Kremlin and a bombing attack that wounded a fiercely pro-Kremlin writer, Zakhar Prilepin. For the first time since the Second World War, a sense of vulnerability has been felt in Moscow. Meanwhile, more than two dozen cities and towns - near the Ukraine border, but also in more distant Russian regions - have cancelled plans to stage their own military parades over security concerns. Russian media have counted 24 Russian cities that cancelled May 9 military parades - the staple of celebrations across Russia - for the first time in years. The Immortal Regiment processions, in which crowds take to the streets holding portraits of relatives who died or served in World War II - another pillar of the holiday - have also been canceled in multiple cities. Regional officials blamed unspecified 'security concerns.' Some speculated, however, that the reason behind cancelling Immortal Regiment marches was the fact that Russians might bring portraits of relatives who died in Ukraine to those processions, illustrating the scale of Russia's losses in the drawn-out conflict. Moscow sought to project a show of force during its flagship parade on Red Square, with top-notch military equipment rumbling through it and leaders of ex-Soviet nations standing beside President Vladimir Putin. Ahead of the parade, Political analyst Arkady Dubnov said that 'for the first time in many years' Putin will be surrounded at a Victory Day parade by a number of post-Soviet leaders. 'Despite the serious weakening of its global positions after February 24, 2022, Russia remains to a certain extent the metropolis of a former empire whose actions have to be taken into account,' Dubnov said. The leaders of Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Armenia and Putin's closest ally - Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko - are all in attendance. Tuesday also saw Russia unleash a barrage of cruise missiles on Ukraine [https://search.yahoo.com/search?p=overnight overnight] into Tuesday, hours before the start of the parade. The Kremlin's forces launched 25 missiles overnight in a wave of attacks across Ukraine, the Ukrainian air force said, adding that air defence had successfully destroyed 23 of them. In a Telegram post, the air force said eight Kalibr cruise missiles were launched from carriers in the Black Sea toward the east and 17 from strategic aircraft. 'As at the front, the plans of the aggressor failed,' Serhiy Popko, head of the Kyiv's city military administration, said in comments posted on the Telegram messaging app. Tuesday's attacks - the fifth in May - came a day after Russia launched its biggest drone swarm yet in a renewed air campaign unleashed 10 days ago after a lull since early March. '(They) try to kill as many civilians as possible - on this day,' Popko said. He said that according to preliminary information there were no [https://www.newsweek.com/search/site/casualties casualties] in the attack that was carried out with cruise missiles from the Caspian Sea region. Falling debris fell on a house in the Holosiivskyi district in the southwest of Kyiv, Kyiv's Mayor Vitalii Klitschko said on his Telegram messaging channel, adding there were no casualties or much damage. In the often-targeted Shevchenkivskyi district of central Kyiv debris was found on a road. 'Kyiv stood up again and will stand up in the future!' Popko said.

His statement appeared to row back from comments hours earlier that initial data showed they had begun to get it. But Yevgeny Prigozhin, whose forces have spent months trying to capture the eastern Ukraine city of Bakhmut, added that he did not want to 'spoil' Russia's big Victory Day parade set for 0700 GMT, and would reveal more details afterwards. 'The people who were supposed to fulfil the (shipment) orders have so far, over the past day, not fulfilled them,' Prigozhin said in a video post on the messaging app Telegram. The Institute for the Study of War has pointed to 'chain of command problems' for the Russian army in Ukraine that cast doubt on Moscow's ability to 'coordinate a coherent theatre-wide defensive campaign'. Russia and other ex-soviet states celebrate Victory Day on May 9, while most other European countries mark the date on May 8, due to the time difference when Nazi Germany signed to surrender in 1945. Western nations that celebrate Victory in Europe Day (VE Day) do so to mark the end of all combat actions in the Second World War, which was officially specified as 23:01 Central European Time, which was already May 9 in Eastern Europe. By contrast, Ukraine commemorated the end of World War II together with Europe on Monday, with President Volodymyr Zelensky vowing that Russian forces would be defeated just as Nazi Germany was beaten in 1945. The Ukrainian leader said the Kremlin was responsible for 'aggression and annexation, occupation and deportation', as well as 'mass murder and torture'.

For years the anniversary was marked on May 9, as it was in Russia and other ex-Soviet countries. Ukraine will also mark a separate Europe Day on May 9, which promotes peace and unity on the continent, he said. European Union chief Ursula von der Leyen arrived in Kyiv on Tuesday to mark the celebration of peace and unity, in a symbolic retort to Moscow's Victory Day parade. The president of the European Commission travelled on an overnight train from Poland to see President Volodymyr Zelensky and work on Ukraine's quest for eventual EU membership, a reporter on the train said.
