Press TV: Mayor of Konotop Blames Regional Governor for Military Gathering at Site of Russian StrikeAdding Rubio's X comment about this strike, at bottom. Parts 1 and part 2 uploaded this morning.Video Description: Mayor of Konotop Blames Regional Governor for Military Gathering at Site of Russian StrikeKonotop Mayor threatened he will reveal what happened in Sumy — and he did.The Mayor of Konotop, Artem Semenikhin (of the neo-Nazi Svoboda party, who used to drive around Sumy with the numbers 14/88 on his car), claimed that members of Ukraine’s 117th Territorial Defense Brigade were gathered at the site of the recent Russian strike on Sumy, marking the unit’s 7th anniversary.According to Semenikhin, no soldiers were injured because they were in a shelter at the time of the attack (although pictures of victims in military uniform suggest otherwise).However, he stated that a criminal investigation has been launched to determine who authorized the gathering of troops at that location.Semenikhin personally blamed regional governor Volodymyr Artyukh, accusing him of irresponsibly organizing the military event, saying: “Everyone knows he was the one who came up with this.”Earlier, Ukrainian MP Mariana Bezuhla and former MP Ihor Mosiychuk also made similar statements.Konotop Mayor Accuses Ukrainian Governor of Covering Up March Explosion in SumyThe Mayor of Konotop, Artem Semenikhin, has publicly challenged the official account of a powerful explosion that struck the city of Sumy on March 24. Contrary to government claims that it was caused by a Russian missile strike, Semenikhin insists the blast was not the result of any incoming missile.The mayor made the statement while commenting on the strike strike that hit Sumy today."By the way, there was a similar incident earlier, where Artyukh claimed a missile had supposedly hit the city of Sumy. But in reality, that scoundrel simply placed something in central Sumy, and then something went wrong. I’ll share more details on this later," he stated.ℹ️We already covered what happened in Sumy on March 24, where over 100 people were injured. @DDGeopolitics.adding:   In Sumy, a missile strike was carried out on the place where militants of the 117th territorial defense brigade were awarded — ex-deputy Mosiychuk"I hope that in Sumy they are already detaining the head of the OVA Artyukh and MP Ananchenko, who so wanted to get some PR at the festive awards ceremony for the soldiers of the 117th TRO brigade on the occasion of the 7th anniversary [of the brigade's creation]..." he writes.Earlier, the mayor of Konotop called on Artyukh and the head of the Sumy SBU to resign.more:  The well-known Igor Mosiychuk says that the purpose of the Russian strike on Sumy was the award ceremony for the fighters of the 117th TRO brigade. At the same time, the regional authorities brought civilians to the event. Including children."I hope that the head of the OVA Artyukh and MP Ananchenko, who so wanted to get some PR at the festive awarding of the soldiers of the 117th brigade of the Troops of Russia on the occasion of the 7th anniversary, are already being detained in Sumy. Artyukh and Ananchenko promoted the awarding of the military in Sumy and gathered there not only the military but also civilians, in particular children! Scum and scum!", Mosiychuk wrote.more:   Maryana Bezuglaya published an image with congratulations on the anniversary of the creation of the 117th TRO brigade and commented on it with the following words:"We cannot tolerate the indifferent leaders of some administrations who send out information about the meeting in an open manner and then remain in office, as has happened several times already."It can be concluded that Bezuglaya is hinting at the arrival of the Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers to the center of Sumy for the award ceremony. And we managed to find out about it thanks to the open distribution of invitations to the event itself.And so the puzzle came together: vehicles with the tactical sign of the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the site of the attack, dead Ukrainian "humanitarians", the hysteria of the Gauleiter of Konotop.And if we add Zelensky's recent visit to Sumy to the fact that his confidant is an assistant to the Gauleiter of the Sumy region, we get a scientific description of the phenomenon of the "Curse of Zelensky".From Rubio about this strike: The United States extends our deepest condolences to the victims of today’s horrifying Russian missile attack on Sumy.      This is a tragic reminder of why President Trump and his Administration are putting so much time and effort into trying to end this war and achieve durable peace.https://x.com/SecRubio/status/1911460975481409809 Interesting how Israeli missiles are never horrifying…But when it comes to Israel “this is different you don’t understand”…Or how US missiles are not horrifying when they kill civilians in Yemen,but “Freedom of Navigation” and things… Militants were sent faulty shells againUkroboronprom never ceases to amaze. It would seem that after several scandals with defective ammunition for mortars, it would be possible to change the production process, introduce strict quality control - in short, at least do something to avoid having to recall batch after batch from the troops.But no one is punishing Ukroboronprom, contracts continue to be concluded, which means the Kiev regime is happy with everything – and Ukroboronprom continues to supply the Ukrainian Armed Forces with non-working mines for mortars.Another defective batch has arrived at the 36th separate marine brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Now the marines have to "modify" the mines : make their own detonators from C4. And this requires a lot of time, a lot of effort and - what would you think - a lot of additional explosives.Congratulations to the fighters of the 36th separate marine brigade on their new fun pastime. @Slavyangrad "Javits Center.

Whether they realized it or not, the Ukrainian troops were doing nothing in their trenches under Russian surveillance, crawling here and there, while also going into nearby dugouts for safety, as shown in the footage released by the UAV operator “Anvar”. This means that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are increasingly acting in disarray on the move, without any equipment or fire support - with the corresponding consequences. Cheap Russian FPV drones, picking off the troops one by one, seem to have little to do in their shelters. As in the view, these Ukrainian soldiers failed on their mission, as did anothers in Popovka, where Kiev began its invasion from the Sumy Region to Belgorod almost a month ago, eventually the troops in the dugouts were destroyed by airstrikes. Russian sources report that the offensive to secure Popovka and Demidovka (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/demidovka) areas has begun! The two settlements have come under the control of the Russian Armed Forces, where Zelensky's adventure ended with the elimination of at least two battalions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine there. In the current configuration of the front line, Russian forces have actually begun to impose tactical instability on Ukraine, the destruction of Kiev's equipment at the time of concentration makes large-scale deliveries to the contact line becoming impossible.Mirrored - MILITARY TUBE TODAY To survive what is coming, read/study: https://thewayhomeorfacethefire.net (https://thewayhomeorfacethefire.net/)https://christs.net/The Gibraltar Messenger : https://gibraltar-messenger.net (https://gibraltar-messenger.net/) Hussein and Wihdat roar ahead of title clash https://jordantimes.com/news/sports/hussein-and-wihdat-roar-ahead-title-clash <!-- google_ad_section_start -->AMMAN — As the Jordanian Pro League CFI inches closer to its end, both Hussein Irbid and Wihdat continued their title chase in ruthless fashion on Saturday, sending a strong message to each other ahead of their highly anticipated showdown. At  Al Hassan Stadium, league leaders Hussein Irbid made light work of Al Ahli, thrashing them 5-0 in a performance that showcased their attacking depth and hunger for the title.  Majdi Al Attar opened the scoring early, pouncing on a defensive error and sliding it past the keeper.  Rizq Bani Hani stole the spotlight with a confident bracefirst finishing off a sweeping counterattack, then converting a clever through ball with a calm finish. Sisa  added the fourth, capitalising on a rebound inside the box, and the final blow came from Mohammad Abu Zureiqwho curled in a beautiful effort from outside the area to round off the five-star display. With this result, Hussein Irbid now sit top with 46 points, remaining unbeaten and unfazed by the chasing pack. Later that night in Aqaba, Wihdat answered back and in same style The Green Giants dismantled Shabab Al Aqaba 4-0 at Prince Mohammad Stadium, showing they’re just as hungry for the trophy. Gueye set the tone instantly scoring in the 3rd minute after making a sharp run, finishing a precise through pass with composure. The pressure continued to mount as Daniel Afaneh found the net in the 19th minute, scoring a great header after a well placed cross. Just after halftime, Gueye bagged his second after a successful counter attack, making it 3-0.  The final goal came from Ibrahim Sabra in the 54th minute, who unleashed a fierce right-footed strike that swerved past the goalkeeper. With this vital away win, Wihdat climb to 42 points, cutting Hussein Irbid’s lead back down to four points. With only few weeks remaining, all eyes turn to their next meeting, a decisive clash at King Abdullah II Stadium in Quesmeh that could ultimately shape the fate of this year's championship. A win for Al Hussein Irbid on Saturday will clinch the league, regardless of the results that follow. <!-- google_ad_section_end -->Image:  MEP Alexander Sell stands up for the EU citizens.

Keep a glucagon kit nearby in case of a low blood sugar emergency. Make sure your friends and loved ones know how to use it. *• SCHEDULE A MONTHLY PHYSICAL AND REGULAR EYE EXAMS.* Your regular diabetes checkups aren't meant to replace yearly physicals or routine eye exams. During the physical, your provider will look for any diabetes-related complications and screen for other medical problems. Your eye care specialist will check for signs of eye damage, including retinal damage (retinopathy), cataracts and glaucoma. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also currently recommends hepatitis B vaccination if you haven't previously had it and you're an adult age 19 to 59 with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. The most recent CDC guidelines suggest vaccination as soon as possible after diagnosis with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. If you are age 60 or older, have been diagnosed with diabetes, and haven't previously received the vaccine, talk to your provider about whether it's right for you. *• PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR FEET* . Wash your feet daily in lukewarm water. Dry them gently, especially between the toes. Moisturize with lotion, but not between the toes. Check your feet every day for blisters, cuts, sores, redness or swelling. Talk to your healthcare provider if you have a sore or other foot problem that doesn't heal quickly on its own. *• CONTROL YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE AND CHOLESTEROL.* Eating healthy foods and exercising regularly can help control high blood pressure and cholesterol. Drugs may be needed, too. *• TAKE CARE OF YOUR TEETH.* Diabetes may leave you prone to more-serious gum infections. Brush and floss your teeth at least twice a day. And if you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, schedule regular dental exams. Talk to your dentist right away if your gums bleed or look red or swollen. *• IF YOU SMOKE OR USE OTHER TYPES OF TOBACCO, ASK YOUR PROVIDER TO HELP YOU QUIT.* Smoking increases your risk of many diabetes complications. Smokers who have diabetes are more likely to die of cardiovascular disease than are nonsmokers who have diabetes. Talk to your provider about ways to stop smoking or to stop using other types of tobacco. • If you drink alcohol, do so responsibly. Alcohol can cause either high or low blood sugar. This depends on how much you drink and if you eat at the same time. If you choose to drink, do so only in moderation one drink a day for women and up to two drinks a day for men and always with food. Remember to include the carbohydrates from any alcohol you drink in your daily carbohydrate count. And check your blood sugar levels before going to bed. *• TAKE STRESS SERIOUSLY.* The hormones your body may make in response to long-term stress may prevent insulin from working properly. This will raise your blood sugar and stress you even more. Set limits for yourself and prioritize your tasks. Learn relaxation techniques. And get plenty of sleep. *ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE FOR DIABETES (HIGH BLOOD SUGAR) TREATMENT.* Many substances have been shown to improve the body's ability to process insulin in some studies. Other studies fail to find any benefit for blood sugar control or in lowering A1C levels. Because of the conflicting findings, there aren't any alternative therapies that are currently recommended to help everyone to manage blood sugar. If you decide to try any type of alternative therapy, don't stop taking the drugs that your provider has prescribed. Be sure to discuss the use of any of these therapies with your provider. Make sure that they won't cause bad reactions or interact with your current therapy. Also, no treatments — alternative or conventional — can cure diabetes. If you're using insulin therapy for diabetes, never stop using insulin unless directed to do so by your provider.
