UK, France Revamp `Reassurance Force' Plan for Ukraine - Paris HQ, Air Defense, Naval Demining  | Kyiv Post  |

The coalition leaders announced further military and political support to Ukraine, but provided no immediate plans on peacekeeping forces for Ukraine until after a "cessation of hostilities".

The announcement focused on the opening of a new Coalition of the Willing headquarters in Paris and helping Ukraine stabilize its military on the ground, air, and sea following a ceasefire.

A press release from Starmer's Office provided details on support in the following areas:
Following the cessation of hostilities, the force is expected to:

• Regenerate land forces: providing logistic, armament and training experts to assist with the regeneration and reconstitution of Ukraine's land forces.
  
• Secure Ukraine's skies: The Coalition will provide safe skies alongside Ukraine's Air Force using Coalition aircraft to deliver Air Policing, reassuring the Ukrainian population and establishing the conditions for normal international air travel to recommence. 
  
• Support safer seas: The existing Black Sea Task Force of Turkey, Romania and Bulgaria will be bolstered by additional specialist staff to accelerate the clearance of mines from the Black Sea and ensure safe and secure maritime access for all vessels transiting to and from Ukraine ports. 

The two leaders also agreed to increase the size of the Combined Joint Expeditionary Force (CJEF) from 10,000 to an army corps size of 50,000 troops. The CJEF was established in 2014 following the Russian annexation of Crimea and is an Anglo-French joint military force capable of peacekeeping, disaster relief, humanitarian aid, and combat operations in all domains, including space and cyber. 

The Black Sea Naval Co-Operation Task Group-BLACKSEAFOR" has been initiated by Turkey at the second Chiefs of the Black Sea Navies (CBSN) meeting which was held in Varna/Bulgaria in 1998

Russian forces continue advancing, creating buffer zones along way -- Kremlin spokesman

The Russian Armed Forces continue to advance, creating buffer zones to ensure the security of the country's regions, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said at a press briefing.

When asked to comment on the Ukrainian army's stated intention to retake positions in Russia's borderline regions of Kursk and Belgorod, he noted that the Kremlin "did not react to that in any way."

"You know that our troops are advancing, creating buffer zones to ensure the security of our country's regions. The military continues this work," Peskov added.

A number of media outlets reported on July 8 that Alexander Syrsky, commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian armed forces, believes that Ukraine needs to retake and hold positions in the Kursk and Belgorod regions.

Ukrainian intelligence officer accused of sabotage attacks in Russia shot dead in Kyiv

Ivan Voronich was part of the Security Services of Ukraine (SBU) and is thought to have been involved with missions aimed at embarrassing Vladimir Putin sabotage attacks with MI6/CIA intelligence.

In a video from Ukraiinska Pravda, an assailant can be seen shooting Voronich several times before running away.

A post from Telegram channel New Military Columnist revealed: "The head of one of the departments of the Security Services of Ukraine (SBU) Special Operations Centre, Colonel Ivan Voronich, was killed in Kyiv. An unknown person fired from a pistol with a silencer, after which he disappeared."

Assassinations as part of a losing proxy war on Russia and retaliation. Don't cry for me.

Much of recent weeks brutal Russian drone strikes are clear retaliation for unwanted escalation as negotiations were started in Riyadh and Istanbul. A repeat of April 2022.

Lynval Golding, founding member of The Specials, is angry that this summer's riots have given him "flashbacks" of his experiences in Coventry in the 1970s and 80s.

But after violence flared across the UK, fuelled by online misinformation and anti-immigration sentiment, Love Music Hate Racism (LMHR) is being relaunched, more than 40 years after its predecessor Rock Against Racism (RAR) first combined pop music with politics.

A Coventry event on Saturday, involving a gig with local bands, will add poignancy, organisers say, given the city's history of brutal racist killings and violent assaults.

After the violence across the UK this summer, British Asians recalled the 1970s and 1980s, when racist violence was widespread and the National Front was on the rise.

With the National Front at its most vocal, they were then coping with day-to-day harassment, police brutality and later on, riots.

The disorder was triggered by the fatal stabbing of three young girls in Southport - followed by false speculation that the suspect was a Muslim asylum seeker.

It sent a thunderbolt of fear down Asian and minority communities.

[...]

Those involved, along with their descendants, have continued to play prominent roles in various effectively Zionist "anti-racist" groups up to the present day.

Notably, a follow-up organization to the 43 Group -- the 62 Group, active in the 1960s -- served as a springboard for many of these efforts. Key figures from the 62 Group included head of intelligence Gerry Gable and head of finance Gerald Ronson (a convicted fraudster).

Among the Zionist groups they went on to establish were the Jewish Aid Committee of Britain (JACOB), Searchlight, Community Security Trust, Hope Not Hate, and Tell Mama [registers Islamophobic attacks].

Alongside these explicitly Zionist "anti-racist" groups, broader alliances also emerged, many of which were either co-opted, infiltrated, or ultimately sabotaged by Zionist influence.

One such example is Love Music Hate Racism, which came out of the tradition of grassroots, broad-based anti-racist movements aimed at building genuine unity.

The history of these groups -- starting in the 1970s with the Anti-Nazi League, followed by Unite Against Fascism, Stand Up To Racism, Rock Against Racism, and ultimately Love Music Hate Racism -- has consistently included Zionist infiltration from the very beginning.

Zionist lobby's covert war on Irish rap group Kneecap | PressTV |

Kneecap, a popular Irish hip-hop group, has been the target of a massive cancellation campaign by the Zionist movement in both the United States and the United Kingdom.

All the usual suspects have been involved, including public letters from the Board of Deputies of British Jews cloaked with misnomer Campaign Against Antisemitism.

However, there is another key Zionist group that prefers to operate undercover whenever possible.

In other cases, it conducts its bullying campaigns -- supporting genocide -- in the shadows.

Press TV show Palestine Declassified obtained private correspondence sent to the Glastonbury Festival, attempting to intimidate the organizers into cancelling Kneecap.

Marked "Private and Confidential," the email states that the authors wanted to "raise" Glastonbury's "awareness" about Kneecap. The message further claims the band is "propagating hate" and therefore should not be protected by "free speech," a notion the letter writers claim to support.

One of the most remarkable, indeed egregious, things about this @KNEECAPCEOL row is the contradiction between one particular signatory - record exec Paul Samuels - and Love Music Hate Racism.

Humiliation for Starmer as he loses control of Commons | BBC News |

The extraordinary thing about Tuesday's welfare reform vote is it felt, albeit perhaps just fleetingly, like the fraught and chaotic parliamentary rows about Brexit.

Or even the bumpy moments for Boris Johnson and Liz Truss.

It is extraordinary to say that because the parallel seems absurd: those moments in recent years happened to prime ministers without their own mandate or much of a majority or when engulfed in scandal.

But the parallel is this: a government transparently not in control of events, shoved around humiliatingly by parliament.
