55 Ukrainian drones shot down overnight
Moscow - Saba: The Russian Ministry of Defense announced on Tuesday that its air defense systems intercepted and destroyed 55 Ukrainian drones over Russian territory overnight. The ministry said in a statement: "Last night, from 8:00 PM Moscow time on July 14 to 7:00 AM Moscow time on July 15, air defense warning systems intercepted and destroyed 55 Ukrainian drones. The ministry explained that "32 drones were shot down over the territory of Belgorod Region, 12 over Voronezh Region, 6 over the Black Sea Region, 3 over Lipetsk Region, and one drone over each of Rostov and Kursk Regions." Ukrainian forces target the Russian border regions of Crimea and the Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk, Voronezh, and Rostov Regions with drones and missiles almost daily. Russian forces, for their part, respond by targeting exclusively Ukrainian military infrastructure, as well as facilities of the military-industrial complex and everything related to the storage, repair, or manufacture of military equipment, as well as centers for the concentration of Ukrainian armed forces personnel and foreign mercenaries.

Russian Foreign Ministry mocks US State Department staff cuts
Moscow - Saba: Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova mocked the US State Department staff cuts. Zakharova wrote on her Telegram account on Sunday: "1,300 people have been dismissed from the US State Department as part of the state spending reform. They insist that this constitutes a violation of human rights." She continued: "It is ridiculous that American diplomats in particular have been trying to convince the world for all these years that human rights are only properly observed in the United States, and that everyone else should look to them as an example." The Associated Press reported that the US State Department intends to dismiss more than 1,300 diplomats under the Trump administration's plan to restructure the State Department.

Via Leaked Recordings...Trump Threatens to Bomb Moscow and Beijing
Washington - Saba: Leaked audio recordings attributed to former U.S. President Donald Trump, obtained by CNN, reveal that he threatened to bomb Moscow and Beijing prior to the last U.S. presidential election. In one of the private meetings held with major donors to his 2024 election campaign, Trump said: 'I told Putin: If you enter Ukraine, I will bomb Moscow heavily. I have no other choice,' noting that the Russian president 'didn't fully believe me — maybe 10 percent.' Trump also said he issued a similar warning to Chinese President Xi Jinping in the event of an attack on Taiwan, stating: 'I told him that the United States would bomb Beijing in response. He thought I was crazy, but we didn't have any problems.' According to CNN, which reported the recordings on Wednesday, Trump is heard speaking very candidly in front of top donors in New York and Florida, portraying himself as a strong candidate capable of deterring global adversaries — in contrast to what he described as the "weakness" of his successor, Joe Biden. The recordings also contain controversial remarks about pro-Palestinian demonstrations on U.S. college campuses. Trump said: 'Any student participating in protests — I would deport them. They made a big mistake.' When one donor expressed concern that some of these students could become part of the future ruling elite, Trump responded: 'If I win, we'll roll this movement back by 25 to 30 years.' Trump also pledged, if re-elected, to launch a large-scale deportation campaign targeting foreign students involved in the protests — echoing previous efforts by his administration to revoke student visas during his presidency.
