Video from the series: Will it Explode or No?
The valve was torn off a gas tank in the middle of the Tyumen-Kurgan highway. Liquefied gas streams into the air, the driver in shock calls emergency services, and everyone else looks and films on their phones.

A fitting is torn from an LNG tanker so some stop to record while others drive by!

"Vanya, my phone doesn't have zoom. Let's drive closer."  🤡  🧨

"Ivan, I really need a cigarette... "

@freerussia_report. I CAN'T FIND THE VIDEO. SORRY.

A war veteran who groomed a 13-year-old girl corresponding about sexual topics was released in the courtroom and given a suspended sentence.

n Adygea, they gave a suspended sentence and released in the courtroom of war participant Magamet Datkhuzhev, who demanded that a 13-year-old girl send him intimate photos, Gazeta.ru reports.

He drove the girl home and exchanged phone numbers with her. Then, for a month, he communicated with her in a messenger on sexual topics and asked her to send him pictures of herself in her underwear.

After a while, the child's friends became aware of the correspondence, and then at school and parents, and the man was detained. During the trial, the girl said that Datkhuzhev, after giving her a ride, hugged and touched her.

Big-mouthing again
The Kremlin threatened to strike European capitals in response to the deployment of American missiles.

"America continues to make money, Europe is in the crosshairs of our missiles, our country is in the crosshairs of American missiles in Europe. <… >We have enough capacity to deter these missiles. But the potential victims are the capitals of these states," press parrot pesky Peskov told propagandist Pavel Zarubin.

At the same time, Peskov added that earlier "we went through all this," and found such a situation "paradoxical." "The United States deployed different types of missiles, of different ranges, but traditionally aimed at our country."

Conveniently omitting that that the ruZZian Fuckeration has significantly increased the number of weapons, especially among the systems that pose a threat to Europe, as noted by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz who said that the deployment of US missiles in Germany is in line with Berlin's national security strategy.

Conveniently also omitting that ruZZia was the one to suspend russia’s participation in the 2010 New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) on February 21, 2023, undermining arms control. Abandoning arms control is part of Putin’s modus operandi. Russia also suspended participation in the Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty in 2007, and in 2014 was found to be in non-compliance with the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. Putin also moved with all pomp and glory nuclear weapons to Belarus in violation of nuclear non-proliferation agreements to frighten the Western allies.

Putin is a nuclear bully, attempting to use nuclear threats to deter conventional Western support and intervention in Ukraine. He is intentionally increasing nuclear risks, believing that NATO members have a lower risk tolerance than Moscow and do not care enough about the fate of Ukraine to continue supporting them.

At the same time, the russian capacity of really attack the West with any kind of missiles is still deemed low by analysts.

A schoolgirl from Chita, sentenced to 3.5 years in prison for graffiti “Death to the regime,” came of age in a pre-trial detention center

Today is the birthday of Lyubov Lizunova, a tenth-grader who was sentenced to three and a half years in April for "calls for terrorist and extremist activities". Lyuba and her friends were caught when they left the graffiti on garages. The FSB accused them also of administered anti-war channels.

The 18 year old is preparing for the Unified State Exam. “Good news - I still won!!! I was given a French tutorial, a dictionary and three reference books to prepare for the Unified State Exam! Now I'm waiting for "War and Peace" by Viktor Frankl. Now I’m taking notes on chemistry,” she wrote from the pre-trial detention center. The letters and postal address of the political prisoner were published by the No Future channel.

Another defendant in this criminal case, 19-year-old Alexander Snezhkov, was sent to prison for 6 years by the court.

In Vladivostok, an 18-year-old girl brutally beat an 8-year-old boy on a playground.

8-year-old Savely got in trouble with a group of 4 teenagers aged 18-19 who 'objected' that the boy was throwing grass into trees, making “bird’s nests.” One of the 3 girls "taught him a lesson" and began beating him. Savely raised a stick which the 18-year-old wrestled away, threw him to the ground to beat him on body and head, and finished with a bite to the head. Then she took the boy’s phone and called his mother.

His mother Christina, who ran out to help got also bitten in the hand. After succeeding in recuperating the phone, she filed a complaint with the police, and later wrote to a local public page to find the parents of the aggressors.

The girl’s father wrote to Christine denying all wrongdoings, blaming the boy "for provoking aggression". Then came insults and threats from different numbers, and a counter-report was filed against the boy.

Again ruZZian traditional values. Sweet RuZZki Mir

MEPs call to strip Hungary’s EU voting rights amid Orbán’s ‘peace missions’.

Members of the European Parliament demanded Hungary’s EU voting rights be stripped after its Prime Minister’s trips to Russia and China.

In a letter, 63 MEPs addressed European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, European Council President Charles Michel and European Parliament chief Roberta Metsola, saying Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán “has already caused significant damage by exploiting and abusing the role of the Council Presidency.”

Hungary took over the rotating Council of the EU presidency from Belgium on 1 July. Since then, Orbán has launched self-declared “peace missions” to Kyiv, Moscow, Beijing and Washington and claimed, without authorization, to be representing the EU.

Orbán “undertook several diplomatic visits, notably to visit Putin in Russia and Xi Jinping in China, during which he intentionally misrepresented his empowerments,” the lawmakers wrote, and called on the Parliament to respond accordingly. “This requires real actions, such as suspending Hungary’s voting rights in the Council, since practice has shown that mere verbal condemnations of this situation have no effect.”

The letter, supported by MEPs from a number of countries and parliamentary groups including the EPP, Renew, the Left and the Greens, is the latest attempt to censure Budapest for its rogue presidency.

🔥A factory is on fire in the Kursk region after a drone attack

In Korenevo, drones attacked a low-voltage equipment plant. A fire started there; its area initially exceeded 400 m².

Workers were allegedly evacuated before firefighters arrived.

The ruZZian Ministry of Attack announced that "air defense forces destroyed one drone over the territory of the Kursk region".

Again a cunning and successful use of factories to destroy Ukrainian drones. Here's to it! 🍾

What's more on the radar?

RuZZia might resort to use mothballed 130-mm M-46 cannons from the 1950s, according to several OSINT analysts and projects referring to videos and satellite images. It might be be associated with the use of North Korean 130-mm shells, since these ammunition are not produced in russia itself. The Z-army may have about 600 such guns in storage.

RuZZia will try to produce spare parts for the Russian automotive industry in Africa. Russian manufacturers of automotive parts expect to start assembling components in Nigeria from 2025. Nigeria provides a five-year tax holiday for investors in car assembly production. There are already about 15 car assembly plants in Nigeria. They mainly produce Chinese and Indian models of cars and trucks. Sergey Shaikhetov, CEO of the research company Afrikaresearch points out problems with logistics in the African country and the lach of qualified workers, so they will have to be trained in production technologies. UAZ announced its plans to launch Lada production in Ghana.

RuZZia will begin to import apples from NK. Rosselkhoznadzor noted that before that, North Korean apples were included in the list of quarantined products, but now they can freely supply to Russia "accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate", confirming "the absence of quarantine organisms in the goods". Earlier, the Minister of Agriculture Oksana Lut admitted that they had to lower the forecast for the apple harvest in 2024 due to frost and is working with "friendly" countries to supply additional volumes.

Large Russian developers have lost access to project documentation stored in the cloud service of the American developer of computer-aided design systems Autodesk BIM 360, two sources among developers told RBC. Autodesk has recently begun blocking those companies from russia that continued to use illegally its solution, making purchases through third countries or using a VPN. The American vendor suspended operations in the country back in 2022 due to the war, and in March 2024 banned russian companies from using its software products.

Most of the ready-made food offered by popular delivery services in Moscow turned out to be unfit for consumption. Tests of E. coli group (coliforms), S. aureus (staphylococcus), Salmonella, Listeria and parasites in food show violations of hygiene in production, as well as the questionable freshness of products. In 62.5% of the ordered dishes, experts found an unacceptable amount of E. coli and microbes. At the same time inspections have been suspended - obviously hygiene doesn't fit in with traditional ruZZian values...

Hungary and Slovakia have lost Russian oil supplies due to Ukraine's sanctions against Lukoil .

Slovakia has stopped receiving oil from Lukoil, as Kiev blocks its pumping through the Druzhba oil pipeline through its territory, the Slovak transport operator Transpetrol said on Thursday.

Slovakia lost more than half of the oil that went to the Slovnaft refinery in the amount of 500.000 tons per month. At the same time, the plant has no other sources of raw materials except for the Druzhba pipeline built during the USSR. "Lukoil's volumes cannot be pumped, but Ukraine still passes oil from other Russian companies through Druzhba."

The day before, Hungary announced problems with supplies from Russia, which, along with Slovakia and the Czech Republic, received exceptions to the European embargo on Russian oil and continues to import it through the pipeline.

According to Reuters sources, deliveries to Hungary in July were reduced only slightly, and to the Czech Republic they continue in full, since the volume of Lukoil oil in these directions is minimal. Most likely, the company will try to replace its volumes at Druzhba with oil from companies that are not subject to Ukrainian sanctions, but this may take some time.

In total, Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic buy 1.1 million tons of Russian oil through Druzhba every month, or about 250.000 barrels per day. Of these volumes, Hungary and Slovakia receive 450.000 tons per month, and the remainder - about 200.000 tons - goes to the Czech Republic.

Hungary's foreign minister Peter Szijjarto complained the tightening of Ukraine's sanctions against Lukoil as an "incomprensible and unacceptable decision", emphasizing that Hungary and Slovakia were exempted from the EU sanction regarding russian oil. He also said that supplies are secured by temporary solutions, but not medium term.

At a meeting with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov earlier in the week, Szijjártó argued the country had begun talks with Moscow to find alternative supplies of russian oil.
