The new US sanctions against Russia are imposed in such a way as to reduce the influence of Moscow on the European elites, to prevent the technological development of the country, and to accelerate the fall of the regime of President Vladimir Putin.

This opinion was expressed by the military expert Oleksiy Arestovich in an interview with the "Apostrophe".

"The sanctions are imposed in such a way that the countdown of the regime of Putin began. These sanctions are not intended to show Russia that its actions are inappropriate, that it is necessary to return to the club of civilized states, namely, aimed directly at demolishing Putin's established regime This is not a warning, but an attack on the part of the United States is a very good news for us, they blot out the Putin regime and its influence on Europe, "Arrestovich said.

According to him, the second goal is to neutralize Russia's influence on Europe and its political elite, which was corrupted by the Kremlin since the 70's.

"This is a big problem that is tied to the European oil and gas market, and Americans are struggling with these sanctions in order to cope with the main source of income for the Putin regime - the supply of energy to Europe - the second objective of sanctions is to break the eternal mechanism of corruption of European economic and political leaders, Related to agreements with Russia, a blow to the established order in Europe, an important geopolitical decision ", - added the expert.

At the same time, he stressed that Russia has a sufficient margin of safety to last for a long time under sanctions.

"The stockpiles of strength in Russia are much more than we have accustomed to accumulating. Sanctions do not kill the Russian refrigerator right now, although they are already killing, and are aimed at the fact that in 10 years Russia will forever lose a civilization race with the West," Arrestovich says. .

He also noted that the new sanctions aimed at destroying the existing regime in Russia.

"By these sanctions, the Putin regime began to beat and stifle, and they work in such a way that the further existence of the Putin regime becomes unprofitable for Russia itself." The sanctions are a token that separates the Putin regime from Russia. "Thus, the West says:" Russia is a gut , And the Putin regime is not gut. "Until the Russians themselves understand that the existence of the Putin regime is killing their civilizational perspective," the expert concluded.

In the first 15 years of Vladimir Putin's presidency in Russia, he was accompanied by some political success, which allowed him to deceive Western leaders.

This is what famous journalist Yulia Latynin tells on the radio station "Echo of Moscow".

"Here, in my opinion, something happened and Putin went luck, because in the first 15 years of Putin's presidency, in general, he was extraordinary lucky. And it's not that the authorities behaved differently." Recall the businessman Kolesnikov, Who tells us that it turns out that Putin, in the first year of Putin's rule, calls on his friend Shamalov and orders the founding of Metromed, and this company, according to Kolesnikov, functioned so that she received money from oligarchs, spent 70% To the medical equipment, the rest went to the construction of the palace in G. Elendzik, and everything was fine, NTV was taken away, Khodorkovsky was arrested, and despite this, world leaders gathered to mark the Victory Day in Moscow on the anniversary of 2005, a triumph of Putin, "the journalist says.

She remembered the stories that European leaders were assured that Khodorkovsky would give 5 years of parole, just to arrive in Moscow on Victory Day. And when the Victory Day passed, Khodorkovsky was sentenced to 9 years.

"That is, such a style of communication with the West - it was already then, and it was taken, probably, from a very bad book of a man called Robert Green" 48 laws of power ", in which it is written that the law of power is a throw, most importantly - Because every communication with the leaders of the West - it was even considered to be a special operation "Deceived and overwhelmed", and every successful deception gave rise to the certainty that, of course, the bastards, they all get stuck, and they suffered, they swallowed, they swallowed The beating of Polish diplomats, they swallowed riots in Estonia By and large, swallowed Litvinenko's poisoning, swallowed Putin's Munich speech.But in Bucharest, on the eve of the Russian-Georgian war, they were actually denied an ultimatum put by Putin on Georgia's membership of NATO, that is, Seized Russia's hands for the war. Also, the Russian-Georgian war was swallowed. After her there was another excellent report by Ms. Heidi Talyavini, in which it was said that "Well, the Russians say that the Georgians started the war, the Georgians say that the Russians started the war, and where are the truth, we do not know", - said Latinina.

"It evolved into one simple word" luck "because here the ancient Scandinavians had the human quality - luck. There was a man lucky when he was fat or bald. And of course, in this sense, Putin was a man lucky. And, now, after the annexation of Crimea something this good fortune disappear. Because, see, everything is still useful, began working at harm. by Crimea rolled sanctions. Well, then held Donbass to distract Europe from Crimea. Vkotyly new sanctions are for failure to Minsk That's when Putin explained that he was in Georgia We are not there, right? .. Well, not "us there," Why, then, this type of Abkhaz separatists and Abkhazian air force struck in Georgia, when Russian tanks were in Gori. That's honestly believe he did, then Ms. Heidi Thalyavini, I remember In his investigation, even devoted a whole chapter about the actions, imagine, the Abkhaz aviation. She has long debated whether Abkhaz aviation had the right to attack Georgia? Mrs. Tagliavini even decided wisely that she had not had Abkhaz aircraft. Here, then, believed in the Abkhaz aircraft, and now in Donbass something was not believed about tractor drivers and miners. However, the same Mrs Heidi Tagliavini was in the commission that signed the Minsk Accords. And about the "Boeing", which was shot down by bloody coins on a fighter plane of a size of 800 meters, they also did not believe ", - the journalist notes.

Latynina noticed that when Putin decided to get involved in the war in Syria: "The same as was brilliant completely idea:" Here, we are of the western suckers circle around your finger, say they are ready instead to fight IDILom they rozimliyut we under this deal will achieve the lifting of sanctions, instead IDIL wet Assad enemies, do yourself a decisive power in the Middle East and we are in chocolate. "and just fuckers did not agree, because sooner or later realized that the only way not to lose Schuler - is not sit down with him at the table. Then decided to intervene in the am erykanski elections again to feel that we are strong and tough. So, the result - new sanctions. "

"And then, all this is the disappearance of foreign policy success - what is it based on? On the fact that the money was over, they became not enough. The machine is some money - it began to choke back in 2008, because then it turned out, for example, that The US produces more gas than Russia, and this gas in the domestic market of the USA was cheaper in 2008 than in Russia, that is, the whole model of oil and gas rent collapsed, because it turned out that in principle the commodity superpower can not be in the modern world, but you can Be the only raw appendage. Here is some time in the Kremlin There they explained to themselves that the shale bladder would soon burst that oil would cost 250. But shale gas came from shale oil, and the bananas were completely over. Here, I can not even understand that, nevertheless, it was before, the Crimea or the fall The price of oil? And I think that first of all, nevertheless, There was a fall in oil prices. Formally, it was later, but I think that it was easy in the Kremlin to understand that oil is a kayak and one has to somehow distract the attention of the people ", - summarizes Latinina.

Russia hopelessly lost the military-political confrontation of the West, in particular the United States.

This opinion was expressed by the military expert Oleg Zhdanov in an interview with Obozrevatel.

According to him, while the Kremlin, by the methods of the XIX-XX centuries, captured foreign territories, Washington intercepted the European gas market in Russia, which, in fact, won the opposition.

"Shale drilling technology and gas liquefaction technology make American gas cheaper than Russian gas, and the US expansion to the European market has virtually won." Merkel, by the way, understands this, hence his attempts to lobby the North Stream 2 and his attempts to confront American expansion, "he said. - said Zhdanov.

He stressed that at the moment, the Kremlin has nothing that he can offer Washington to exchange.

"Russia will now intensify its methods of propaganda warfare, but this is already post-factum or beating on the tails, because the West understands the devastation of this influence, their intelligence services are strong enough and will now work to counteract." Today, Russia does not even have a " "With which she would be able to enter talks with the US", - summed up the expert.

On August 13, 1941, a women's army corps was created in Canada. It was a new, experimental formation, created to use the potential of an active patriotic woman in the name of a warring country.

Unlike the Soviets, Canadian girls did not have the right to serve in military units, says the FM Army.

Women were confronted with troops exclusively as nurses. The mass mobilization of the male population in the army put all the countries that fought in the Second World War into a common problem: the lack of personnel for civilian occupations and the provision of troops.

The women of the Canadian Women's Army Corps (CWAC) worked as drivers, mechanics, stenographers, cooks, telephones, and other jobs to free men for service in the armed forces, writes Historical Truth.

A set to the Corps was carried out on a voluntary basis, but the applicants were supposed to meet strict requirements: age from 18 to 45 years; Excellent health and physical form; Height of at least 152 cm and weight of at least 48 kg .; At least 8 classes of education.

After compilation of norms and training, women were enrolled in units organized on a military basis. Employees of CWAC wore uniforms, ranked and obeyed their command.

CWAC was headed by Anna Hrapllova, born in 1920 in Canada in the town of Lidivud, Manitoba Province. He lived in Winnipeg.

She graduated from the University of Manitoba in the field of home economics, and after studying the bookkeeping, she worked as an accountant. A little later, this determined her role in Ukrainian organizations in the British Isles.

During the existence of the CWAC in 1941-1946, none of the 22,000 of its members died in military circumstances. Only four women were injured during the bombing of Antwerp with the ballistic missiles of the Fu-2. In July 1945, after the defeat of Germany, Anna was sent to the continent to prepare the arrival of parts of the Corps in the British occupation zone. The storm served in Germany until the beginning of 1946. In August 1946, the CWAC was disbanded.

Khrapelya was also co-organizer of the Union of Ukrainian Canadian Soldiers (KUKV), which was delivered on January 7, 1943.

In total, the Royal Canadian Army then fought 40,000 Ukrainians.

In the summer of 2016, the army of Canada headed by the grandson of Ukrainian settlers from Lviv, Paul Vynnyk .

Iran has put heavy weapons components into Russia in spite of the UN Security Council sanctions.

Iran's arms came to Russia through Syria, writes Welt am Sonntag (Sunday edition of Die Welt) with reference to sources in Western special services.

According to the publication, in June two Iranian planes landed at the Khmeimim Air Base in Syria, which is based on Russian aircraft.

The aircraft delivered heavy-duty components for their further transportation to Russia.

Then the components were transported by trucks to the port of Tartus in the Mediterranean Sea, the interlocutors of the publication say. Already from there, Iranian weapons were delivered to Novorossiysk on the Russian ship Sparta III.

US sanctions will have a long-term negative impact on the Russian economy.
As reported by Censor.NET with reference to DW , this was stated by the Russian oppositionist, the founder of the public movement "Open Russia" Mikhail Khodorkovsky in an interview with Spiegel Online .

According to him, technological sanctions in the 21st century can "doom the Russian Federation for a whole decade of stagnation." "The ban on the export of technology for Russian well drilling projects will postpone the cost-effective development of the Arctic shelf by Russia for at least a decade," he added.

Khodorkovsky laid the blame for tightening sanctions on the Russian leadership, which he described as "incredible idiots." "They gave the Americans an excuse for this step: how stupid should one be to interfere in the elections in the US?" - said the oppositionist. According to him, from the point of view of the United States, the new restrictive measures are "understandable and politically unavoidable."

At the same time, according to Khodorkovsky, they also have a "commercial dimension". "The Americans firmly believe that their shale gas is clearly a promising product, and they want to prepare markets for it in Europe," the oppositionist explained.

. On July 25, the House of Representatives of the US Congress voted for a bill providing for additional sanctions against Russia, Iran and the DPRK. The Senate, following the House of Representatives, approved the document.
