China tied to Russia an China trying to make nice to African countries as they look for more materials to propel their industrial complex. Rare earth elements much sources from these same African nations. It would not look great for them if they don't try to get Putin removing his blockade. There are significant geopolitical issues with how this will be received.
"Rare-earth elements (REEs) are used as components in high technology devices, including smart phones, digital cameras, computer hard disks, fluorescent and light-emitting-diode (LED) lights, flat screen televisions, computer monitors, and electronic displays."

These click bait thumbnails are really bad.
China here does have some leverage vs Russia too.
Russia isn't self sufficient in lithium and some rare earth metals supplies and there China does have relatively huge leverage vs russia.
Especially for lithium and europium ....
Europe btw is using in some ( not all ) paper money notes and documents europium nanoparticles as 1 additional aid from xxx security measures ....
It is reality.
For cash USD main check up is ....paper in the hands of experienced person.
These bitches in reality never had managed to make ....this paper sort.
Partially I agree.
While russia in reality had a lot of shit in their ammo depots and I even don't think that all these cases were cos strikes or partisans.
One from warehouses had bah bah 70 hours in row.
Btw they sometimes might transfer ammo there and here and IF shell etc does have fuse insterted and fuse is old and in bad conditon & still working + handlers dumb then....
Central Bank of Russia had rised base key interest rate ....they ofc are talking about that this will help to deal with inflation
....
Putin told that special operation is going as had been planned and russia's economy is in very good condition.

China has called for Russia to end its blockade that's tied to China's business interest in Africa. China has been developing these relationships over the course of years this will cause significant problems.
This report is all over the place but mentions China has called for Russia to enter back into the grain deal.
Russia is chinesse puppet and will be.
Ofc small nation will not recognise that they are small nation and puppets.
.
Ukr had offered chinesse to transport grain from black sea. If they doesn't need then I for example definitely will not care.
According to Kremlin and parasites in certain countries we are enemies and parasites.
Why not. We even should switch off financing for food programs because we should care about our taxpayers money spending in proper way...

Is Russia going to bomb Romania ports now? This could pull NATO into this action.
"
BUCHAREST, July 21 (Reuters) - Romania's Constanta port, Ukraine's main alternative route for grain since Russia's withdrawal led to the collapse of the Black Sea shipment deal, has capacity to handle extra cargoes until mid-August, the head of the port's business association said.
He added operators were also seeking to increase capacity.
Even before Russia on Monday quit a safe passage grain corridor through Ukraine's own ports, Constanta had emerged as the biggest alternative shipping route. It has handled roughly a third of Ukraine's grain exports since the start of the war."

This guy is a tad click baity but he also does have some real and the latest info most times. There are others who are click bait and then go on to tell fantastic lies about how the war is going for UKR. If you watch some of them every day you would wonder how Russia hasnt lost yet.

I don' think they got 200 troops with that one JDAM strike, I think they meant that troops were 200'd (Russian for K.I.A.)
Open protests in Moscow by some Chechens(?)

Today looks that Ukraine failed even to launch any large scale counter offensive not alone something more here.
Partially it might be because despite nice talks, in reality Ukraine did almost 0 homework 2008-2021. It is reality. Zelensky doesn't looks that is concerned at all.
Partially because west " friends " had delayed supplies and had calibrated them carefully looks in order to not worry their comrade Putin.
So for Ukraine today maybe better might be to gave up territories Putin want to get and for rest part of Ukraine maybe to ask be part of China or Iran rather than be loser till end of universe?
All thus far looks like this reality and why not?
Zelensky better had applied to incorporate Ukr in Iran, India or China. Realpolitik.
