Ukraine responds reciprocally to Russian blackmail, will consider "vessels heading to Russian ports as potential carriers of military cargo" - Euromaidan Press
[...]

Reciprocally, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense published a statement on 20 July:

The Russian Federation has once again brutally violated the universal right to free navigation for the whole world and is deliberately undermining food security, condemning millions of people to starvation,” the statement reads. “Openly threatening civilian ships transporting food from Ukrainian ports, launching missile attacks and drone attacks on civilian infrastructure in peaceful cities, deliberately creating a military threat on trade routes, the Kremlin has turned the Black Sea into a danger zone, primarily for Russian ships and ships heading to the Black Sea waters in the direction of seaports of the Russian Federation and Ukrainian seaports located on the temporarily occupied territory. The responsibility for all risks lies entirely with the Russian leadership. The fate of the cruiser “Moscow” proves that the Defense Forces of Ukraine have the necessary means to repel Russian aggression at sea. The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine warns that from 00:00 on July 21, 2023, all vessels heading in the waters of the Black Sea in the direction of the seaports of the Russian Federation and Ukrainian seaports located on the territory of Ukraine temporarily occupied by Russia may be considered by Ukraine as carrying military cargo with all the corresponding risks.

Telegram blogger and former FSB officer Igor Strelkov arrested — Meduza​

Law enforcement officers have arrested Telegram blogger Igor Strelkov (real surname — Girkin), who also led the troops of the Russia-backed self-proclaimed “DNR” in 2014.

"According to RBK sources, the former FSB officer was taken from his home around noon on July 21. A search is currently underway in his apartment. IA message from his wife Miroslava Reginskaya appeared on Strelkov’s Telegram channel. She claims that charges of “extremism” have been leveled against her husband.

Today, at about 11:30, representatives of the Investigative Committee came to our home. I was not in at that time. Before long, according to the concierge, they escorted my husband out and took him away in an unknown direction.

My friends told me that my husband has been charged under Article 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (extremism).

I don’t know anything about my husband’s whereabouts, he has not contacted me.

Igor Strelkov is a former FSB officer. He led Russia-backed troops in eastern Ukraine. From May to August 2014. He also served as defense minister of the self-proclaimed “DNR.”

In November 2022, a court in the Netherlands sentenced Strelkov to life in prison after finding him guilty in the case of the 2014 Malaysia Airlines crash in the Donetsk region.

Since the beginning of Rissia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Strelkov has regularly commented on the course of the war, and has often criticized the actions of the
Russian leadership."

Russia-Ukraine war at a glance: what we know on day 514 of the invasion

Moscow ‘waging war’ on global food supply, US tells UN; Putin says it will use ‘all means at its disposal’ to defend Belarus after Warsaw moves troops to east
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com
  • Russia is “waging war on the world’s food supply” and has “upended peace and security around the world”, the US ambassador to the UN has a told a meeting of the security council. Linda Thomas-Greenfield called on Moscow to cease attacking Ukrainian food facilities and reenter the Black Sea grain deal, from which it withdrew on Monday. “Russia has zero legitimate reason to suspend its participation in this arrangement … It is using the Black Sea as blackmail.”
  • Vladimir Putin has said Russia will use “all means at its disposal” to defend Belarus after Poland and other EU countries voiced concerns about the deployment of Russian paramilitaries near their borders. The Russian president claimed at a meeting of the Russian security council that Poland was seeking to invade Belarus, a Russian ally, after Warsaw moved troops nearer the border with Belarus following Minsk’s commencement of exercises with Wagner trainers.
  • Russia has arrested Igor Girkin, who was convicted by a Dutch court over the shooting down of MH17, on extremism charges, probably fuelled by his criticism of the Russian war effort in Ukraine. Girkin is a former battlefield commander of Moscow’s proxy forces in eastern Ukraine.
  • Russia’s navy carried out a live fire “exercise” in the north-west Black Sea, Moscow’s defence ministry said, days after the Kremlin said it would consider ships travelling to Ukraine through the waterway to be potential military targets. The Black Sea Fleet “carried out live firing of anti-ship cruise missiles at the target ship in the combat training range in the north-western part of the Black Sea”, Russia’s defence ministry said in a statement on Telegram.
  • The Ukrainian president condemned a Russian artillery attack he said killed two children and damaged a school in the Donetsk region. Volodymyr Zelenskiy said a cultural centre and residential buildings were also damaged in the attack on Druzhba village.
  • An employee of a cultural centre had been found dead after Russian shelling in the Chernihiv region of northern Ukraine, governor Vyacheslav Chaus said. In the Odesa region, governor Oleh Kiper said that out of 21 people wounded in Russian attacks over the past four days, four were still in hospital.
  • The US plans to announce a new military aid package for Ukraine worth up to $400m – primarily comprised of artillery, air defence missiles and ground vehicles – as soon as Tuesday, three US officials have said. The US was not including cluster munitions in this package, two of them said.
  • The number of ships looking to pick up grain cargoes from the Black Sea area fell 35% week on week amid growing uncertainty over whether commercial traffic could be hit as Russia continues to pound food facilities in Ukraine.
  • Bulgaria said it had decided to send about 100 armoured personnel carriers to Ukraine in the Balkan country’s first shipment of heavy equipment to Kyiv. Bulgaria has so far sent only one military aid package to Kyiv, containing mostly flak jackets and helmets, but a pro-EU government took office last month.

@PommyMommy
Thank you so much for your daily updates.
Unfortunately, I can't see them anymore because I don't have a Twitter account. Some show up and some don't It's a shame what Elon Musk has done to Twitter.

Take care
