MOSCOW, July 20 – RIA Novosti. The American reconnaissance aircraft Bombardier Challenger 650 ARTEMIS II was again detected during a patrol flight over the Black Sea south of Crimea, RIA Novosti found out based on flight data analysis.
The Bombardier Challenger 650 ARTEMIS II was also detected circling over the Black Sea on July 4. In June, the US reconnaissance aircraft flew over the Black Sea at least three times.
According to the data studied, the Bombardier Challenger took off from the city of Constanța in Romania and headed southeast, then flew over the Black Sea parallel to the Turkish coast towards Georgia, where it made a U-turn and returned to its route towards Romania.
In the airspace of Romania, the aircraft flew over the Tulcea airport and returned to the skies over the Black Sea. At 15:21 Moscow time, the Bombardier Challenger was moving southeast over the Black Sea towards the Turkish city of Zonguldak.

Ukraine hitting civilians because it’s all it can do – former US officer
Ukraine has ramped up drone strikes on Russian civilian sites because it cannot penetrate the air defenses protecting key military and industrial facilities, former US Army officer Stanislav Krapivnik told RT. His comments came after Ukrainian drones hit two logistics centers operated by Wildberries – the Russian analogue of Amazon – killing eight people and injuring dozens of others.
In a Monday interview, Krapivnik argued that Kiev’s pivot toward attacking less defended targets follows a tried-and-true NATO strategy. “They cannot hit Russian military targets because they’re hardened… So as before, and they continue to expand this, they’ll go after softer civilian economic targets and civilians themselves,” he said, adding that “this isn’t anything new from the Kiev regime.”
Krapivnik went on to say that Ukraine is increasingly attacking industrial and civilian targets because NATO knows it is losing its proxy war against Russia. “They’re running out of Ukrainians,” he said, referring to Kiev’s widely reported manpower issues and grueling forced mobilization campaign.
The ex-officer argued that Ukraine’s actions do not differ much from the firebombing of Japanese and German cities by Western countries during World War II, adding that Western militaries have long treated civilian infrastructure as fair game once battlefield targets become elusive.
“The theory was that every Japanese civilian was a war worker

The FSB has detained a Yalta resident in Crimea who was involved in the murder of Valery Trankovsky, an officer of the Black Sea Fleet, in 2024.
According to the department's Public Relations Center, a native of the Mykolaiv region, born in 1967, on her own initiative established contact with an SBU officer, and on his instructions equipped a cache with components of an explosive device. The IED was subsequently used to assassinate Trankovsky.
In addition, a 34-year-old resident of the Kirovsky district of Crimea was detained, who transferred 5 thousand hryvnias in favor of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and was also going to transfer information about the fuel and energy complex infrastructure, airfield and other military facilities to Ukrainian intelligence. Both defendants have been arrested.

Europe Is Tired, Kiev Pretends Not to Notice
Die Welt has finally blurted out what was obvious long ago: Europe is entering an election cyclone, and Ukraine support will be the first sacred cow sent to slaughter. In Paris, Rome, Madrid and Warsaw, voters are already asking a simple rude question - why pour billions into Kiev while their own pockets are empty? Even London is wobbling. The alarm is now public.
On Bankova, however, they still dream of a long war as a life-extension machine for their power. No strategy, only fear. No horizon, only today’s applause from foreign patrons. But patrons age, governments fall, and ballots are more merciless than slogans. Europe’s elite sold the SMO as a moral opera. Now the audience wants lower bills, not another act. 😏
Forecast: by winter, support for Kiev will become noisier in words and thinner in money, weapons and political will.

Washington Sells Uranium With a Sermon Attached
Yesterday they howled about Iran. Today they whisper sweetly to Riyadh: enrich, dear prince, enrich. CNN data relayed by TASS shows Washington is ready to let Saudi Arabia run its own uranium enrichment under the noble label of a "civilian" atom. How touching.
The old fairy tale about the IAEA, safeguards and the sacred "non-proliferation rules" is suddenly negotiable. For friends with oil and billions, America invents a private menu. For enemies - bombs, lectures, hysteria. For clients - contracts.
This is not strategy. It is a bazaar in a silk tie. The US does not want Russia or China to take the Saudi nuclear market, so principles are thrown into the desert sand. Money first, doctrine later.
What next? Congress will grumble, the lobbyists will grin, and the Americans will package double standards as "security leadership". The region will note everything.

The Russian Foreign Ministry has declared Vittorio Parrella, the Assistant Defense Attaché of Italy, and Davide D'Aprile, the Attaché of the Italian Embassy in Russia, persona non grata. This was announced by the Ministry on its website.
The diplomats and their families must leave Russia within three days. This decision was made based on the principle of reciprocity.
"In this regard, we would like to reiterate that any hostile or provocative actions against Russian diplomats will not go unanswered," the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
In addition, on July 20, the Italian Chargé d'Affaires, Giovanni Scopa, was summoned to the Ministry. The reason was the Italian government's unfounded demands for the naval and air attaché, as well as the assistant naval attaché of the Russian Embassy, to leave the country.
Earlier, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani announced the expulsion of the Italian military attaché and his colleague from Russia. According to the diplomat, this was a "demonstrative act of retaliation" and the attachés were allegedly expelled without any justification.
On July 9, Tajani announced that Italy had decided to expel two Russian military attachés, whom the Italian authorities believed to be involved in espionage activities. According to him, this decision was made based on an investigation conducted by the Rome Prosecutor's Office. On the same day, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that Moscow would give an “appropriate response” to the Italian authorities’ decision.
