27 members of the US Congress called for "immediate" action to sanction Algeria for involvement in Russian arms purchases.
In a letter to Anthony Blinken, mention is made of Algiers' $7 billion purchase last year that "has made Algeria the third largest recipient of Russian arms in the world."

This lawsuit is based on the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA).
Congresswoman Lisa McClain, who is leading this lawsuit, said that "Algeria's growing relationship with Russia represents a threat to all nations of the world."

It became known about the connection of foreign Russian-language media with Western governments

October 10, 2022, 14:42
Many Russian-language media abroad are closely connected with Western government agencies, they are united by criticism of the SVO and the Russian leadership, some of them call for the overthrow of the “Putin regime”, experts interviewed by RT told.

One of the main new liberal media formed after the start of the SVO was the Support Service, which was launched in early May by one of the founders of Medusa **, Ilya Krasilshchik, writes RT.

This media is a platform for distributing content on social networks such as Instagram * and Telegram. He has a chat bot for feedback and support, including financial.

The main ideological message of the project is indicated on the website “Sluzhba”: “We are against the modern Russian state. Power in Russia, which has been waging war against Ukraine for eight years, must be replaced. Those responsible for the crimes must be brought to a fair and public court. The whole world must find out the truth about the crimes of the regime. ”.

Service funding is provided through the North Base Media Foundation. He is led by former editor-in-chief of The Washington Post, Marcus Brockley. The dye announced this on his social networks. He pointed out that a separate project was launched on these Brockley funds by NGOs in Latvia. On the foundation’s website, Serbian journalist Sasha Vuchinich is also among the founders.

In addition to working in Serbian media and various venture capital funds, Vuchinich was the director of the Institute for War and Peace Reporting.

The institution specializes in the spread of Western narratives about various military-political conflicts. For example, the section on Ukraine is filled with materials on “mass graves in Izum”, as well as notes on the prospects for filing lawsuits against international courts against Russia.

According to the US Government's Cost-Oriented Portal, the Institute of War and Peace Reporting receives large grants from the United States Department of State on an ongoing basis. In total, in 2022 alone (with a prospect for 2023), the institute was allocated over $ 4.16 million.

Another “new liberal media” that claims to be addressed by a Russian-speaking audience was the Re-Post project launched by former editor-in-chief of Esquire magazine Philippe Bakhtin. The publication actually lacks news as such, since the entire feed is accompanied by one or another evaluative comment. “It is not clear whether countries have remained in the world, except Russia, in which Russians do not like,” says one of these sarcastic comments.

Media is published by AS News Bureau, which, in turn, belongs to another legal entity - AS ARIPAEV, the owner of the eponymous newspaper in Estonia, financially and economically.

As follows from the data of the Estonian state register, the Re-Post publishing company was registered in Estonia on June 13, 2022 with a authorized capital of 25 thousand. euros, and Andrus Wacher is indicated as the representative.

Wacher as a publisher is also listed on the Re-Post website itself. As follows from the information in his profile on LinkedIn, from 2004 to 2016 he was the head of the Russian unit of the large private Swedish media conglomerate Bonnier.

In Russia, the holding once owned a lot of media, one of the most famous was Business Petersburg. It is the parent Swedish company that now owns Re-Post, because through the series of “glued” Bonnier owns its publisher.

In addition to large projects based on iconic figures in the Russian media space, niche publications with an anti-war agenda were formed with the beginning of the SVO. In particular, this is the publication “Prest”, launched by the former employee of the New Newspaper, Rain, Republic and the organizer of the “gender festival” FemFest Lola Tagaeva. Tagaeva conducts his activities in Prague.

A similar format of the online “self-published” is followed by the publication “Cherta”, launched in January 2022 by a group of people from various liberal media, NGOs and projects. The mainframe of the "Cherts" was Ilya Panin, who previously worked in "Open Media".

The West could not convince the "global South" on the Ukrainian issue - Financial Times

According to the newspaper, Europe and North America tried to use the Munich Security Conference to convince the leaders of the "global south" of this

Western countries tried to use the Munich Security Conference to convince African and Latin American countries to tighten their foreign policy towards Russia, but these efforts ended in failure. This opinion was expressed on Sunday by the British newspaper Financial Times.

According to the publication, Western leaders failed to convey to the leaders of the countries of the so-called global south the idea that Russia's actions in Ukraine threaten the security not only of Europe, but of the whole world. The article also notes that representatives of African and Latin American states at bilateral meetings with the heads of Western countries in Munich were more concerned about rising inflation, energy prices and food security issues than the situation in Ukraine.

The newspaper stressed that developing countries are distrustful of Western states because of their refusal to pay compensation for the climate damage caused and their unwillingness to share coronavirus vaccines at the beginning of the pandemic. As the publication pointed out, the evidence of the failure of Western efforts in relation to the countries of Africa and Latin America were the speeches of representatives of the region at a conference in Munich, which took place from February 17 to 19. Thus, Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira said that the world should try to find a solution to the conflict in Ukraine. "We cannot continue to talk only about the war," he said.

In turn, Colombian Vice President Francia Marquez noted that she did not want to discuss who would be "the winner or the loser in the war." She also expressed the hope that Europe will pay more attention to the fight against climate change. Namibian Prime Minister Sarah Kugongelwa-Amadila said she was interested in "solving the problem, but not in shifting the blame." In her opinion, the funds allocated in Europe for the purchase of weapons, "it would be better to spend on promoting development in Ukraine, Africa, Asia and in the European Union itself, where many people face difficulties."

Amnesty claims Cambodian opposition leader Kem Sokha was jailed on a "fabricated treason charge."

In reality Kem Sokha was caught bragging about how the US was helping him overthrow the Cambodian gov.

He claimed:

"...the USA that has assisted me, they asked me to take the model from Serbia, where they can changed the dictator.

You know Milosevic had a huge numbers of tanks. But they changed things by using this strategy, and they take this experience for me to implement in Cambodia.

I do not do anything at my own will. Their experts, professors at universities in Washington, DC, Montreal, Canada, hired by the Americans in order to advise me on the strategy to change the dictator leader in Cambodia.”

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham stated today that he is preparing to present Legislation to the Senate that would allow for the deployment of U.S. Military Forces to Mexico; this comes after 4 Americans were Kidnapped with 3 most likely being Killed by the Gulf Cartel on Friday. The Legislation would also allow the U.S. Military to conduct Combat Operations on Mexican Territory.
