The international community is choosing not to see repeated incursions, creeping territorial expansion, new facts and posts on the ground, including around vital water resources.

The amount of Patriot interceptor missiles the US are using to counter Iranian attacks is mind-boggling. Between 60 and 100 missiles, possibly even more, fired in a matter of minutes, the majority being PAC-3 MSE interceptors.

Vild rekord i Tyskland 🚗🔌 Næsten hver tredje ny bil i august måned var en elbil💪
Og i Frankrig var endnu vildere med næsten fire ud af 10 nye biler, mens Spanien også er over 10% grænsen🔥
Høje brændstofpriser og massive støtteordninger er hovedårsagerne.

⚡️Russia to abolish border zones with occupied Ukrainian territories.
Border zones along Russia's boundary with occupied parts of Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts will be eliminated due to the "completion of the annexation" of the so-called Luhansk People's Republic and Donetsk People's Republic.
