Russia ‘using weapons smuggled by Iran from Iraq against Ukraine’

Russia is receiving munitions and military hardware sourced from Iraq for its war effort in Ukraine with the help of Iranian weapons smuggling networks, according to members of Iranian-backed Iraqi militias and regional intelligence services with knowledge of the process.

RPGs and anti-tank missiles, as well as Brazilian-designed rocket launcher systems, have been dispatched to Russia from Iraq as Moscow’s campaign has faltered in the last month, the Guardian has learned.


An Iranian-made Bavar 373 missile system, similar to the Russian S-300, has also been donated to Moscow by the authorities in Tehran, who also returned an S-300, according to a source who helped organise the transport.

Israel slams Russia's foreign minister for comparing Zelenskyy to Hitler

Israeli officials are castigating Russia and demanding an apology for comments its foreign minister made about Nazism over the weekend. It's the strongest condemnation of Russia by Israel since the war in Ukraine began in February.

It all started on Sunday — days after Holocaust Remembrance Day — when Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov made antisemitic comments in an interview with Italian television program Zona Bianca.

Lavrov was asked about Russia's claim that it had invaded Ukraine to "denazify" the country, which has a democratically-elected Jewish president.

"So when they say 'How can Nazification exist if we're Jewish?' In my opinion, Hitler also had Jewish origins, so it doesn't mean absolutely anything," he told the station in Russian, referring to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's religion, according to the Associated Press. "For some time we have heard from the Jewish people that the biggest antisemites were Jewish."

the ukraine 'war' has created havoc in the food markets all over the world.
most countries are now starting to ban export of agricultural products due
to precieved expectations of shortages.
turkey is suffering even more since they are a key trading partner for both
russia and ukraine.
but the arms business is thriving :LOL:

Russia-Ukraine live news: Germany slams Moscow’s Donbas offensive
Berlin accuses the Kremlin of attempting to ‘flatten’ and ‘depopulate’ the conflict-hit eastern Ukrainian region.

  • Germany’s foreign minister accuses Russia of attempting to “extinguish civilisation” in eastern Ukraine’s Donbas region.
  • The United States has announced it will provide Ukraine with the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), a move the Kremlin warns will add “fuel to the fire” and increase the risk of a direct confrontation with Washington.
  • Russian forces have seized control of most of the eastern Ukrainian city of Severodonetsk, according to a local official.
  • Pope Francis appeals to Russia to lift the blockade on Ukrainian wheat exports via the country’s ports, saying the food cannot be used as a “weapon of war”.

Two Britons and a Moroccan sentenced to death by pro-Russian court in separatist part of Ukraine



From left to right: Aiden Aslin, Brahim Saadoune and Shaun Pinner were sentenced to death on Thursday.

(CNN)A court in the pro-Russian, self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) sentenced three foreigners to death on Thursday, after accusing them of being "mercenaries" for Ukraine, according to Russian state media outlet RIA Novosti.
DPR authorities said the three -- British citizens Aiden Aslin and Shaun Pinner, and Moroccan national Brahim Saadoune -- were foreign fighters who had been captured in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol by Russian forces in April. RIA Novosti said the three will be shot.
Russia is the only country that considers the DPR independent. The international community does not recognize the region and its institutions, and considers the territory to be part of Ukraine. Independent watchdog groups have long accused the separatists of a dismal human-rights track record and ill-treatment of prisoners.
The Ukrainian government said in a statement on Wednesday that it considers all foreign volunteers to be members of its armed forces and to be lawful combatants entitled to treatment as prisoners of war under the Geneva Conventions.
