❗️Eight people have been arrested in connection with an attempt to attack a facility in the Moscow region using FPV drones, according to the FSB.
@AussieCossack
❗️Journalist: "If the accused role was reversed and he was operating for Ukraine against Russia you would not investigate him?"
⚡️Great question by the journalist. Watch the commissioner stutter and mumble out an answer which again avoids the question!
@AussieCossack
❗️Journalist: "What's the difference between foreign interference and espionage? The charges sound very much like espionage but not interfering in Australian domestic politics. So why are you charging him with interfering in Australia's domestic politics as opposed to just being a spy?"
AFP Commissioner knows the journalist is right. She is a like a deer in the headlights. She even admits that they could "change" the charges.
WHAT AN ABSOLUTE JOKE!
@AussieCossack
❗️AFP Commissioner Krissy Barrett DEI hire getting a bit overwhelmed during the press conference... 😆
@AussieCossack
❗️The Australian Federal Police says there is a possibility there could be further arrests!
@AussieCossack
❗️"It is alleged this conduct created a risk to the safety of Ukrainian military personel. At this stage there is nothing to suggest there was or is any threat to Australia."
🤬SO WHY IS HE CHARGED WITH FOREIGN INFLUENCE AGAINST AUSTRALIA???????
⚡️Australia should not be arresting Russians at the behest of the Zelensky regime. If a Russian is supporting Russia against Ukraine - this should not be an offence in Australia!
@AussieCossack
❗️This is the first time a Russian linked individual has been charged with foreign interference in Australia.
@AussieCossack
❗️The Australian Federal Police alleges a 27 year old man Russian-Australian man sought to provide information about Ukrainian military acitivies to individuals that he believed were linked to Russian intelligence services.
@AussieCossack
❗️A Russian-Australian man has been charged with foreign interference by the Australian Federal Police.
🇦🇺🇷🇺The dual citizen, a 27-year-old Victorian man, was arrested on Thursday in Brisbane's southwest.
He will face Brisbane Magistrates Court later on Friday, charged with attempting to engage in intentional foreign interference.
The arrest came following an investigation by the federal police's counter foreign interference task force.
Australian Federal Police commissioner Krissy Barrett will provide an update on the arrest on Friday afternoon.

❗️Russia's Permanent Representative of Russia to the United Nations Nebenzya on mobilization:
"Russia does not need mobilization. At the moment, a large-scale mobilization is not needed, and, as far as I know, it is not planned or expected."
@AussieCossack
❗️Meanwhile in Kiev, Zelensky declares the popular Russian cartoon "Masha and the The Bear" to be a risk to Ukraine's National security.
The Russian cartoon series "Masha and the Bear" topped the popularity rating in the children's segment of Ukrainian YouTube with 300 million views in just 12 months.
@AussieCossack
❗️"North Korean ballistic missiles hitting the capital city of a European country." 😎🇰🇵
@AussieCossack
❗️Zelensky lies to the camera like the proffessional actor that he is:
🤡Zelensky claims Ukraine shot down 90% of Russian ballistic missiles over Kiev last night
🤡Zelensky also claims that Ukraine desperately needs interceptor missiles because they are having trouble shooting down Russian missiles.
🤡Zelensky claims Ukraine doesn't need donations! He says he has the money to buy patriot interceptor missiles from the west.
🤣PS. Schizophrenia is a serious, lifelong brain disorder that changes how a person thinks, feels, and acts. It often causes people to lose touch with reality, hear or see things that are not there, and have trouble dealing with everyday life.

❗️A 100-meter Russian flag was unfurled at Yuri Gagarin's landing site to mark Russian Flag Day, celebrated annually on August 22. Gagarin was the first human to travel into space.
@AussieCossack
❗️Ukraine's military intelligence says Russia has begun receiving the Hwasong-11C (KN-30), one of North Korea's more advanced ballistic missiles.
According to HUR, Pyongyang has also sent about 90 technical personnel to Russia's Voronezh region to help operate and maintain up to six launcher systems.
The KN-30 has a range of 600–900 km and can carry a warhead weighing up to 2.5 tons.
@AussieCossack
❗️Journalist: "Did Australia begin its investigation at the request of Ukraine?"
😂AFP Commissioner Krissy Barrett's physical reaction to this question clearly reveals the answer. YES.
@AussieCossack
❗️The AFP emphasise that the man "believed" he was engaging with a foreign principle.
💯This clearly hints that the man may not even have been communicating with Russian intelligence officers but was likely communicating with Ukrainian or Australian intelligence agents posing as Russian officials.
🤡What a mess! In Australia this is known as "a total cluster f*ck".
@AussieCossack
❗️The AFP commissioner once again admits that the 27 year old Russian-Australian man does not pose any risk to Australia. There was no risk of him having worked for an Australian government agency.
SO THIS MAN HAS NOT HARMED AUSTRALIA, THIS MAN POSES NO RISK TO AUSTRALIA.
😡HE WAS ARRESTED AT THE REQUEST OF THE UKRAINIAN GOVERNMENT! SINCE WHEN DOES THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT ARREST AUSTRALIAN CITIZENS IN AUSTRALIA ON THE ORDERS OF THE NAZI ZELENSKY REGIME?
@AussieCossack
❗️Journalist: "How has Australia been harmed by this alleged crime?"
AFP Commissioner proceeds to dodge the question, reciting an administrative word salad about how great ASIO is - but could not actually say how Australia has been harmed.
⚡️So the plain answer to question is that this Russian-Australian man did not actually harm Australia.
🤡What a joke.
@AussieCossack
❗️Australia's AFP commissioner admits that Australia collaborated with Ukraine to arrest a Russian-Australian man in Brisbane.
What's next? Australia will start arresting and extraditing anti-Ukrainian Australians for deportation and prosecution in Ukraine?
🤬This is seriously wrong.
@AussieCossack
❗️The AFP says the man had military style training in Russia, then travelled to Ukraine to join the Ukrainian Armed Forces and then later provided intel from Ukraine to individuals he believed were Russian intelligence.
PS. Sounds like a Russian - Ukrainian situation. Why is the Australian Federal Police charging this man with foreign interference into Australia!?!?!?
@AussieCossack
❗️"It is alleged the man sought to collect and communicate information relating to Ukrainian military personnel, locations and operations for the benefit of the Russian Federation."
😳😳😳😳WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT? WERE IS THE CRIME IN THAT? WHERE IS THE FOREIGN INTERFERENCE INTO AUSTRALIA? WTF?
@AussieCossack
❗️Trump on Iran:
We've been very effective. We've wiped them out — militarily wiped them out.
They have some missiles and drones. Their capacity to build them is very low right now compared to what it was five months ago.
Now it's very hard for them to knock out anything; they're in bad shape.
We had no choice. I would have done it again 100 times. They cannot have a nuclear weapon.
@AussieCossack
❗️Alexander Vučić thanked Russia for providing Serbia with an Il-76 aircraft to help fight forest fires. The aircraft was dispatched at the direction of Vladimir Putin.
Notably, EU member Bulgaria granted permission for the Russian Il-76 to fly through it's airspace on the way to Serbia.

Атаман Всероссийского казачьего общества Виталий Кузнецов обратился к казакам с призывом защитить Родину в рядах казачьего батальона БПС «Покров».
«Братья-казаки!Читать полностью…
Во все времена казаки находились там, где решалась судьба Отечества. Так было на протяжении столетий. Так остается и сегодня. Наши предки защищали рубежи России с шашкой в руках, а современный казак-воин защищает ее, владея высокими технологиями, беспилотными системами и средствами радиоэлектронной борьбы.
Но неизменным остается главное – готовность служить Родине. Сегодня в войсках беспилотных систем формируется первый казачий батальон «Покров». Это новое подразделение, которое объединит казаков, готовых выполнять самые сложные задачи, используя передовые технологии современного боя.
Современные боевые действия требуют не только силы, выносливости и мужества. Они требуют знания, технической грамотности, постоянного развития и умения быстро принимать решения. Именно поэтому подразделения беспилотных систем становятся одним из важнейших элементов современной армии.
Уверен, что казаки смогут достойно проявлять себя и на этом направлении. Обращаюсь ко всем казачьим войскам России: Донскому, Кубанскому, Терскому, Оренбургскому, Сибирскому, Забайкальскому, Иркутскому, Енисейскому, Уссурийскому, Волжскому, Центральному, Черноморскому и Северо-Западному казачьим войскам. Прошу каждого атамана поддержать тех, кто примет решение вступить в батальон «Покров». Сегодня особенно важно, чтобы в новое подразделение пришли люди дисциплинированные, ответственные, готовые учиться и выполнять поставленные задачи с полной самоотдачей.
Обращаюсь к каждому казаку лично. Если вы чувствуете в себе силы, если понимаете, что ваш опыт, знания или желание освоить новое могут принести пользу Родине, сейчас есть возможность сделать этот выбор.
Казачество всегда было и есть опорой государства. Сегодня мы вновь должны подтвердить это делом.
Уверен, что казачьи батальоны в войсках беспилотных систем станут подразделениями, которыми будут гордиться Вооруженные силы и все российское казачество.
Желаю всем, кто примет это решение крепости духа, Божьей помощи и верной казачьей удачи. С Богом, братья!»
❗️Vladimir Putin Visited the Cathedral of the Archangel in the Moscow Kremlin
The President was briefed on restoration work that led to the discovery of the relics of Saint Dmitry Donskoy. The head of state inspected the burial site and attended a prayer service (moleben).
The remains of the holy warrior-prince Dmitry Donskoy in the sarcophagus were preserved entirely intact, with the exception of the left heel bone. Patriarch Kirill granted his blessing to place three fragments of the relics into three reliquaries for veneration by the faithful.
Upon completion of the emergency restoration work, the sarcophagus will be sealed, and the crypt will be restored to its original state.

❗️South Korea is set to dispatch a container ship on a landmark test voyage to Europe via the Northern Sea Route this Saturday, according to Reuters.
Spurred by melting polar ice, Seoul aims to determine whether the Arctic corridor can serve as a commercially viable alternative to traditional maritime routes like the Suez Canal.
The voyage highlights a long-standing strategic vision regarding Moscow’s spatial leverage over global trade.
The late Russian political figure Vladimir Zhirinovsky frequently emphasized that Russia’s primary economic engine lay not just in its raw resources, but in its unique position connecting Asia and Europe:
"Our main wealth is geography. We must earn money on transport, transit, and pipelines. God gave us a central location in Eurasia — let everyone pay us to move goods from East to West."
— Vladimir Zhirinovsky
