“Ukraine remains strictly committed to the policy of non-interference in internal affairs of other countries,” the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry told Newsweek. “Also, our foreign policy does not synchronize with electoral cycles in other countries, including in the U.S.” The comments come as Ukraine finds itself in the center of a series of headlines having little to do with its bilateral relationship with the U.S., something the country seeks to build on in order to counter Russia, and instead linking it to allegations of corruption on both sides of the ballot....

The rules currently in place are in the style of Soviet Union-era military service requirements. This style should be “abolished” and “cannot” be how the Ukrainian army moves forward after its war with Russia ends, Forbes reported Shmyhal as saying. The prime minister told reporters that investing people’s time in “learning how to march makes no sense” and that the current war demonstrated that younger men could be trained within months rather than over the course of a year or more....

In theory, UNIFIL’s mission is to prevent Hezbollah from launching attacks against Israel from southern Lebanon, and to ensure the area is free of weapons. In practice, UNIFIL is an expensive charade. Hezbollah holds absolute sway in southern Lebanon. And now, just in time for the Security Council’s annual vote, the Lebanese terrorist organization has shown once again that it determines what is permissible for UNIFIL, including whether and how the peacekeepers can monitor the Lebanese-Israeli border, known as the Blue Line....

UFC heavyweight titleholder and No.4-ranked men’s pound-for-pound fighter Ngannou walked past Gane and his former head coach Fernand Lopez inside Madison Square Garden three weeks ago. ‘The Predator’ trained under Lopez during his time at the MMA Factory gym in Paris, France, from 2013 to 2018.

UFC’s latest update to its fighter rankings has three of the prominent fighters removed from the list. MMAjunkie’s Mike Bohn reported on Wednesday that Misha Cirkunov and Rick Story are not under UFC contracts now. Free agent Lorenz Larkin is also not on the newly issued rankings, which may indicate that he won’t re-sign with the UFC either. In case you didn’t know… Lorenz Larkin (18-5-0) was ranked #6 in the UFC’s Welterweight division but became a free agent after his win over Neil Magny at UFC 202....

While speaking to UFC’s Megan Olivi in a recent interview, The Rock had huge praises for Masvidal, stating that the legend of Jorge Masvidal is very real in Miami. He also said that the world was ready for this new iteration of ‘Gamebred’, who eventually went ahead and proved it. Here is what The Rock had in say when he spoke with Megan Olivi and Masvidal’s response: In response to The Rock’s quotes regarding him, Jorge Masvidal took to Twitter and quoted the tweet and invited ‘The Great One’ to the UFC Fight Island, so the two men could party after Masvidal wins the UFC Welterweight Title from Kamaru Usman in the main event of UFC 251....

Amid increasing tensions between the two nations, Russia announced it was redeploying warships from its Caspian flotilla from the Russian Navy stationed in the Caspian Sea to the Sea of Azov, which borders Ukraine and Russia. “There is now a big threat in the Sea of Azov.

In recent months, Russia’s attacks against vital Ukrainian infrastructure have become more reliant on relatively inexpensive drones that have allegedly been provided by its ally Iran. At a cost of up to $30,000 per drone, these unmanned crafts have allowed the Russian military to keep hammering vital Ukrainian infrastructure without dipping into more expensive missiles, The Kyiv Independent reported on Monday. Early on in the invasion, the Independent explained, Russia predominantly focused its strikes on civilian residences and general pieces of infrastructure....

Last week, Oleksiy Gromov, deputy chief of the Main Operational Department of the General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces, said at a briefing that Russian President Vladimir Putin issued an order for his forces to push to the administrative borders of Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region by September 15. Newsweek was not able to independently verify the report. The Institute for the Study of War (ISW), citing Russian sources, wrote in its campaign assessment for Wednesday that Russian troops began sending reinforcements to the Kharkiv area to help defend it against Ukrainian advances....

Twitter user @UAWeapons shared photos of a container and a military truck, identifying the first as likely to be the command post of a 1RL257 Krasukha-4 mobile EW system. EW systems, first developed by Britain during the World War II, are considered among the most important fighting elements in modern warfare, although they often don’t get the same media attention as heavy artillery. The Krasukha-4 is a mobile, ground-based EW system designed to detect and jam radars, covering troops from radar detection and preventing Ukrainian forces from gathering intelligence....

Summary: Do you remember the time when cricket trump cards used to be the trend everywhere?
