❗️Russia cannot be defeated on the battlefield, and the current moment is decisive for the country, Putin said. The president claimed that Ukrainian forces are retreating along the entire line of contact. According to him, the West has failed to defeat Russia on the battlefield, so it is now trying to destabilize the political situation inside the country — but that is not working either. Russia has always been strong and has always won through national unity, Putin added.

The development requirements include resistance to electronic warfare, the ability to operate without communications or GPS, and the capability to strike multiple targets at once. The technologies are set to be demonstrated as early as September 3 of this year in Poland.

He also suggested that active VK users switch from Apple to Android. Russia is waiting for an explanation from Apple regarding the removal of VK apps from the App Store, Peskov said.

They’ll be issued the relevant documents, and they’ll be able to cross the U.S. border in either direction only with American papers, as American citizens,” Lavrov said. Lavrov added that forcing Russian diplomats’ families into a situation where their child becomes an American citizen and falls under U.S. law “simply cannot happen.”
