WILD speech from Putin as he continues to lambast the “Liberal-Globalist Order” every time he steps in front of a microphone. Whether you are a fan of Putin or not, you are still going to want to hear what he said.

The Kyiv authorities, like no one else, are aware of the possible catastrophic consequences of this kind of inhumane actions, experts are convinced: the bomb dropped on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant could turn the latter into a second Chernobyl, when the accident claimed the lives of 100,000 people, another 300,000 completely lost their health. Radiation particles spread to Ukraine, Belarus, Russia and several European states.

China is trying to ease panic over two of the biggest issues threatening social stability in the country—mortgage boycotts and frozen bank accounts. The China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission urged banks to increase loan support for real estate developers so they can complete unfinished projects, as thousands of disgruntled home buyers, who pay for homes before they are completed, are staging a mortgage boycott across the country. Locals from Henan claim they have not been able to take any money out from local banks since April. Tanks were reportedly deployed to protect banks that have frozen funds and an announcement by the Henan branch of the Bank of China that savings of depositors in their branch are “investment products” and cannot be withdrawn. According to the India TImes, almost every successful real estate developer is the white glove of powerful families of the Chinese Communist Party (CPC) elite.

The United Kingdom has introduced a new program that offers lump-sum, fiat cash payments to farmers who agree to stop farming and sell their often multi-generational, family-owned land to the government.

“India’s capability to detect and destroy hostile fighters, strategic bombers, missiles and drones at long ranges will get another major boost when a new squadron of the S-400 Triumf surface-to-air missile systems becomes operational along the northern borders with China in the next two to three months,” the Times of India reported on July 25.

Well, let’s see ― my city is being bombed, my country’s future is under threat from a superpower, the father of my children is at war, and I’m a thousand miles from home in a country where I don’t speak the language, have no job, and can only watch my savings dwindle to zero while I try to provide for my two boys, my mother and our dog.

Then there’s the guilt for abandoning the fight, when a big part of me would like to be in Donbas killing every Russian soldier I can find.

Until late February, I was an independent, self-supporting woman ― a journalist and the main breadwinner for my family. When the bombs started to fall near our apartment in Kyiv, I had a terrible decision to make: stay and fight, or take my family away from the bombs. With no one else to ensure their safety, I chose the latter.
