Ukraine dismisses defence minister – BBC News
Ukraine’s Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov has been dismissed from his post, with President Volodymyr Zelensky saying it is time for “new approaches” in the defence ministry.
The 57-year-old had led the ministry since before the start of Russia’s invasion, and Ukrainian media has speculated that he will become Kyiv’s new ambassador in London, where he has developed good relations with senior politicians.
But his dismissal has not come as a complete surprise, amid a wider anti-corruption drive in Mr Zelensky’s administration – which has been seen as essential to Ukraine’s ambitions to join Western institutions like the EU.
Rustem Umerov, who runs Ukraine’s State Property Fund, has been nominated as Mr Reznikov’s successor.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Russia has already put its Sarmat RS-28 on alert and handed it over to its army. Alert! Alert! as the United States has done, this is not a weapon to be used close to home. And it will definitely be used against Ukrainian arms suppliers. It is bad? Because it can get worse in minutes!
US is inclined to transfer ATACMS long-range missiles to Ukraine, media reports
The administration of US President Joe Biden tends to deliver US Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) from the US requested by Kiev to Ukraine, ABC News TV channel reports with reference to representatives of US authorities.

Your only luck to survive is to make peace with Russia and they will guarantee the integrity of the Ukrainian people and territory and no one will be able to touch you .. otherwise, Ukraine will disappear completely.. Take a SMART decision! Your only way out is to make a secret deal with Russia and ignore NATO and the democratic west.

It's good to see the US supporting Ukrainians who sometime like to wear Nazi insignia, and hero worship Bandera, whoever he was… because we want to make sure everyone feels safe and inclusive… except Christians, and Russians… but that's Ok… right?

Estimated 66 thousand Ukrainians died since “counter offensive” begun and not there is no braking first line of defense yet so at what cost will be enough for western leaders and most for Zelensky who is distorting a nation. Stop it! And start negotiation with the other side to resolve it

The ever-lying Western media spins yet another lying spin to portray the EU's unilateral support of Ukraine in the war against Russia as a success but is a catastrophic failure costing the taxpayers of Europe $800 billion with no military success by Ukraine and has instead led to corruption of tens of billions and an increased presence of neo-Nazi groups and the risk of sky-high prices on the energy market ahead of the coming winter.

It's all a distraction! Plans are afoot for the yanks to move in on Russia "officially" and carry on with the war that Ukraine failed in.. But putin is ahead of the game.. He has readied his nuclear arsenal! America will be devastated and the UK will be devastated and all those very stupid and sad people will perish while staring at their phones with the "i love Ukraine" "glory to Ukraine" flags in their bio's wishing they had listened to the people who know exactly what is going on instead of the propaganda they see and hear on mainstream TV radio and print! History is where it's at, and we're supposed to learn from our history, ya know, to do things differently, but the leaders don't care about any of that because "they, the leaders" have the "power" and not the "intelligence"…. Reap what you sow America and UK!

surely that's a war-crime ?
