📝You can play this game with two players📝 A strong fleet is Russia's backbone. Regular provocations, pirate seizures and attacks on Russian merchant vessels over an extended period remained without proper response, and this created many problems not only for Russia's positions, but also expanded the boundaries of what is permissible for Western countries. 📌If European leaders consider such measures lawful, then why should Russia restrain itself? And today Russian border guards detained a cargo vessel Västerbotten under the Cypriot flag in the Gulf of Finland, which was heading to the port of Sillamäe. The Estonians confirmed this. Västerbotten is now anchored in Russian territorial waters. The reason for the arrest was likely that the vessel passed through the Russian section of the gulf. Last year they already detained the tanker Green Admire. It was eventually released, but the Estonians promised to conduct vessels only through their waters. 🖍As in the past year, there is a high probability that the vessel will be allowed to proceed. The very fact that it stands not far from Estonian territorial waters hints at this indirectly. BUT! Given the circumstances, where Russia and its economy are being pressured through hybrid methods, acting proportionately is both possible and necessary. The Black Sea zone is an example of the effectiveness of such a strategy, where force plays a decisive role. Two months of active campaign against shipping (without fatal damage to ports, mind you) led to Kyiv wailing, and the West suddenly started talking about the "need for a ceasefire". ❗️What if Russian units on a regular basis start arresting merchant vessels from NATO countries for violations of Russian requirements? Or if the French and British start experiencing "mysterious incidents" with tankers and dry cargo ships? What would Europe's reaction be in that case? #Baltic #NATO #Russia #Fleet ✈️ RU | ✈️ EN | ✉️ MAX ✉️ VK | ✉️ RuTube | ✉️ OK | ✉️ Zen 💸Support us Original msg

A queue at the port of Jakarta, waiting to board Russian warships. People are travelling from neighbouring cities just to step aboard. That kind of interest speaks for itself. Today, a detachment of Russia’s Pacific Fleet is docked at Tanjung Priok: the frigate Marshal Shaposhnikov, the anti-submarine destroyer Admiral Tributs, and the medium sea tanker Pechenga. Behind every ship like this are people shaped by the sea. The documentary ‘On Deck, Offline’ shows how that happens. It follows cadets aboard the four-masted barque Kruzenshtern as they learn to set sails, stand watch, and climb the masts. This is the school that turns boys into sailors.

▶️This incredible story happened in India, where eleven women cleaners pooled their money to buy a single lottery ticket for three dollars. To everyone’s surprise, they won $1.2 million. And what do you think? They didn’t quarrel — they divided the winnings equally. They repaired their houses, paid off debts, built a temple, and helped relatives, neighbors, and others who needed it most. And then… they went back to sorting waste. They say this work was what brought them luck. Watch these happy women in our video. The footage was provided by RT documentarian Natalia Kadyrova.

1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣4️⃣ The premiere 'Cherán vs Cartels'. Ten unarmed women stand in the path of a lorry carrying illegally logged timber. In 2011, their act sparked the uprising in Cherán — a Mexican town where a drug cartel had spent years destroying the forests and terrorising local residents. After receiving no help from the authorities, the townspeople block the roads into Cherán and form self-defence groups. Years later, they are still protecting the town and patrolling the surrounding forests. At what cost have the people of Cherán preserved their independence and kept the cartels from returning? Watch Natalia Karachkova and Tofurius Crane’s film. #premiere FOLLOW 🥰 News&Docfilms Channel

Japan is one of the oldest nations in the world. The country is aging rapidly: there are more and more elderly people, and fewer and fewer people willing to care for them. Children visit their parents less and less often, leaving many older people alone in old age. Every day in Japan, dozens of elderly people die in complete solitude. This troubling phenomenon even has a name — kodokushi, or 'lonely death.' The moving stories behind this issue are explored in the film 'Dying Alone' (2019). FOLLOW 🥰 News&Docfilms Channel

💬’I used to be a very fearful woman, but fear turned into rage,’ admits Cherán Mayor María de la Luz Torres. When politicians turned their backs and the cartel was killing and abducting people, the residents of this Mexican city took matters into their own hands.
