Ukraine has called on the Hague tribunal to force Russia to demolish the Kerch Bridge, illegally built after the annexation of Crimea in 2014.

— It was Russia that cut off the Crimean peninsula from mainland Ukraine and thus severed hundreds of thousands of family ties, deprived the residents of Crimea of ​​a future and created a territory of despair and despondency out of Crimea. It is ironic, and even cynical, to hear how Russia, in its speeches before this esteemed Tribunal, claims that someone else, and not Russia itself, is to blame for the suffering of Ukrainians in Crimea.

Moscow claims that the pretext for building the so-called Kerch Bridge was the so-called blockade. But the real blockade is the one that is not considered by this Tribunal – Russia's blockade of Ukrainian ports in 2022, which has caused a global food crisis, Zolotareva said.

She stressed that the real goal of this crossing is to turn the Azov Sea into a closed Russian lake.

The Foreign Ministry representative added that the dismantling of the bridge, as requested by Ukraine, is extremely important for the Black and Azov Seas and the Kerch Strait.

— Dismantling the bridge is the only way to restore passage for ships from all countries that have used the strait in the past and for ships that will use the strait in the future. Russia illegally built this bridge, and now it must remove it to ensure passage through the Kerch Strait in accordance with international law, Zolotareva summed up, speaking in The Hague.

Russians spread fake news about detention of Ukrainian intelligence officers: the Center for Political Affairs responded Sofia Rozhik

The Central Intelligence Agency denied the detention of Ukrainian intelligence officers/Collage by Channel 24

The Center for Countering Disinformation denied this information. They say that this is another provocation.

Russians say that the GUR allegedly wanted to kidnap a child

Russian propaganda resources are spreading information that the FSB allegedly detained employees of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. According to the Russians, they allegedly tried to enter Russia from Lithuania. They say they wanted to “collect information about border security and kidnap a child.”

️The Center verified this information – it is fake. Also, the information is absolutely meaningless and has nothing to do with reality. Ukrainian intelligence does not use such methods. This statement is another provocation by Russian special services, – the Center noted.

The Center asks Ukrainians not to let the enemy mislead them.

Recall that this is already the second Russian fake in recent days. Thus, the day before, the Russians absurdly stated that the Ukrainian Armed Forces allegedly attacked the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry reacted sharply to this and noted that the Ukrainian Armed Forces strictly adhere to the norms of international humanitarian law and do not attack civilians or civilian infrastructure.

In the Rivne region, border guards detained a 53-year-old Ukrainian who was trying to illegally cross the border with Poland. However, he accidentally ended up near the Belarusian border. Having lost his way, the man spent a day in the forest and accidentally ran into military personnel.

However, instead of the Polish border, he found himself near Belarus, where he spent almost a whole day wandering through forests and swamps.

The detainee said that he was guided by the instructions from the stranger and was convinced that the area would be similar to the forests of the Kirovograd region. However, he encountered dense thickets and swamps.

— I didn’t even understand where I was. Then I decided that I had enough of these adventures, I would make my way to people. I came across a pond, from which I drank water, because before that I had to collect dew from plants, — the 53-year-old Ukrainian said.

The State Border Guard Service of Ukraine reported that the emaciated man accidentally met Ukrainian border guards. At first, the Ukrainian mistook them for Polish soldiers, so he addressed them in a foreign language.

The detainee was brought to administrative responsibility under Article 204-1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of Ukraine (illegal crossing or attempted illegal crossing of the state border of Ukraine).

This entails a fine of 200 to 500 non-taxable minimum incomes of citizens or administrative arrest for up to 15 days (with confiscation of the tools and means of committing the offense).

China Wants to Save Putin's Regime: Is Beijing Capable of Forcing Moscow to Make Peace? Angela Figin

Xi Jinping supports Vladimir Putin and is not interested in overthrowing his regime. However, China's actions and statements often contradict each other.

On the one hand, Beijing opposes the nuclear escalation with which the Russian dictator blackmails the world, and on the other, it promotes the “Friends of Peace” initiative, which is a plan for Ukraine's capitulation. Russian opposition politician Gennady Gudkov told Channel 24 whether China has the tools to contain Russia and why it warns against nuclear threats.

China is afraid of losing its main advantage

Despite the fact that Beijing continues to cooperate with Russia and helps it earn money for the war against Ukraine, at the UN General Assembly, China, Brazil, Turkey, Kazakhstan and eight other countries issued a joint statement warning against the threat of using nuclear weapons, as well as attacks on nuclear facilities.

China understands that the only factor that can offset its dominant position in terms of its large population is nuclear weapons.The PRC has also seriously increased its nuclear potential, but Xi Jinping is not interested in nuclear weapons being used as a means of war.
