Russia is preparing to identify American assets for potential confiscation in retaliation for any seizure of its own assets in the United States, as reported by Reuters. A decree issued by Russian President Vladimir Putin has authorized a special commission to compile a list of assets that could be targeted, encompassing real estate, stocks, movable assets, and property rights.

China's top diplomat said on Tuesday that Beijing would strengthen strategic cooperation with Moscow and that the two must stand on the side of "fairness and justice" as he met his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov.

Lavrov arrived in China for a two-day official visit on Monday, with the two countries looking to strengthen diplomatic ties as Russia's war in Ukraine grinds on.

"Attempts to portray the Bundeswehr officer's conversation as a game with rockets and tanks are a malicious lie. Germany is preparing for war with Russia," said the deputy president of Russia's Security Council on his Telegram channel.

This was stated by Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of the Rossiya Segodnya media group and the RT television channel, in the program "Evening with Vladimir Solovyov" on the Russia 1 television channel.

Paris has "identified a coordinated maneuver by Russia" to spread false information about France and the alleged presence of French "mercenaries" fighting on the side of Kyiv in Ukraine, the French Ministry of Defense announced today.

"It is probably wrong for me to comment on what the supreme commander said, I can only confirm that it is true," Shoigu said, RIA Novosti reports.
In the last ten days, he specified, the Ukrainian army has been carrying out "furious attacks with great strength and with great hope".

Ukraine is strengthening its forces on the northern border due to the arrival of fighters of the Wagner paramilitary formation in Belarus, and Ria Novosti reports that anti-tank trenches have been dug in the Chernihiv region on a stretch of more than 40 kilometers.

In an interview with RIA Novosti, he said that it may be an "empty hope", but that he remains an optimist. "I believe in a time when everything seemed bright to us, like in May 1945. Yes, there was terrible desolation around, but we all had the right attitude. We wanted to continue and restore peace, we were allies, we were friends," Cohn said.

The decision was made in light of attempts by the United States and its allies to renew their military presence in Central Asia, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said today.

The flag was raised with the inscription "Good memory of Vladlen Tatarsky".
Prigozhin's comment was published on the Telegram channel of his press service.
