War Speeches. Russia creates nuclear threat and seeks negotiations on their terms and conditions
The first week of August was characterized by nuclear set-ups of the Russian army at the Zaporizhzhya NPP. However, the representatives of the RF in the UN reject the presence of troops at the nuclear power plant. At the same time, they declare they took the Zaporizhzhia NPP under protection in order to prevent any nuclear provocative acts by nationalist formations.
The Russian side yet again spoke of a diplomatic settlement of the war, but on their own terms and conditions.
Statements about peace provoked many negative reflections of the Ukrainian side. Volodymyr Zelenskyi warned about the impossibility of negotiations in the event of referendums in the occupied territories of Ukraine.
At the same time, the occupiers are developing the phobia of HIMARS. They are trying to go all lengths to disrupt the supply of Western weapons. The situation in the energy market remains dangerous due to the gas blackmail of Russia. In fact, they resorted to burning the blue flame gas in order not to supply it to Europe.
Nuclear crimes and set-ups of the Kremlin army
Since the beginning of the full-scale war, Russia has been posing a nuclear threat to the world. Back in February, Vladimir Putin gave an order to transfer the Russian deterrent forces to a special combat duty regime. In addition to constant threats about the use of nuclear weapons, Russia violates the rules of peaceful uses of atomic energy by seizing Ukrainian nuclear facilities. However, on the eve of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) Review Conference, the Russian side suddenly began to publicly state the need to preserve the security of the world community.
However, russian terrorists on Ukrainian soil should be upset, because propaganda does not work. Instead, a third type of MLRS, similar to HIMARS, came to Ukraine.
"The third brother in the Long Hand family arrived in Ukraine, the MARS II MLRS from Germany. I thank Germany and personally to my colleague Christine Lambrecht for these systems. Our artillerymen welcome German partners!", — said the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Oleksii Reznikov.
Energy and food front: Ukrainian grain export started, and russia burns gas
In the first week of August, the export of Ukrainian grain from the deblocked ports began. Ukraine is fulfilling its obligations to ensure food security in the world.
"A day of relief for the world, especially for our friends in the Middle East, Asia and Africa, when the first Ukrainian grain leaves Odessa after months of russian blockade. Ukraine has always been a reliable partner and will remain one if russia respects its part of the deal, " said Dmytro Kuleba.
Continuity and regularity should be important principles of Ukrainian grain export. The more Ukrainian grain there is on the world market, the smaller the harvest of political chaos is in many countries.
"Ukraine remains an important player in the world food market. We contribute to world food security. We are a reliable partner, and our allies around the world providing us with weapons and finances, appreciate our work in this area," stressed the Prime Minister of Ukraine, Denys Shmyhal.
The aggressor has repeatedly demonstrated their unreliability, so Ukraine should prepare for provocations aimed at disrupting exports. According to Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine has no illusions that russia will not attempt to disrupt the exports.
"russia has consistently provoked famine in countries in Africa and Asia, which traditionally imported significant volumes of Ukrainian food. And now, in the extreme heat of this year in Europe, some European countries also face the threat of price crisis and a certain food deficit," said the President of Ukraine.
The opposite situation has developed in the energy market, where russia artificially creates a deficit and speculates for a raise in prices for political concessions. Even with the transferred turbine for gas pumping, russia finds ways to blackmail. Kremlin spokesman, dmitry peskov, said that it is important for Gazprom to obtain legal documents stating that this turbine is not under sanctions.
"Words alone are not enough in this case," he said. — The EU can claim certain things but there is the UK, and service maintenance on an ongoing basis is carried out by the British daughter of the Siemens company from British law, from British jurisdiction. Therefore, certainly, in this case, in the context of the sanctions imposed on Gazprom, on our country, Gazprom simply has to secure themselves; they have to secure their property, and the turbine is the property of Gazprom. "
Therefore, russia has not invented anything better than just burning blue flame fuel.
"Instead of supplying gas to the territory of Europe, according to contracts, russia even goes for burning it — and they have been doing it for weeks now. Why do they do it">
The situation in the energy market remains dangerous due to russia's cynical and pre-designed gas blackmail.
"Gazprom, russian gas pipelines bypassing Ukraine, are the same weapons for russia as tanks, or as artillery; each of us is their target, each person in Europe," emphasized the President of Ukraine.
