⚡Adidas has said the ending of its collaboration with Kanye West is "hurting" the business, with sales in North America hard hit.

The sportswear giant cut its ties with the designer and rapper, known as Ye, late last year after he posted anti-Semitic comments on social media.

West designed trainers under the Yeezy brand and Adidas said the loss of the business cut sales by €400m (£350m) in the first quarter of the year.

Overall, total revenue fell by 1%.

There's a reason why historians tells every nation on earth not to be hostile towards Russia.

Because during war you'll find out the hard way.
The reason historians tells us this, is because they (Russia) Evolve during war.
No matter what you throw at them, as the war rage on, the things you throw become ineffective.

No one get to hear:
The Bayraktar
The javelin
The NLAW
The switchblade
The stinger
The himar
We don't hear about them anymore, because the Russians has figured out how to make them ineffective.

⚡Kadyrov's address in connection with Prigozhin's statement:

I am addressing 🇷🇺 Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces and creator of the Wagner PMC.

It is unpleasant for me, as for everyone who is not indifferent to the fate of our country, to hear the latest statements of Yevgeny Viktorovich, and it is doubly unpleasant that the leadership of the Russian Ministry of Defense does not comment or does not meet with the leadership of the Wagner PMC to make any decision or clarification. After all, Prigozhin deserves respect for the invaluable contribution of the Wagnerites to the liberation of the cities of Donbass. If there is a shortage, then it is necessary to explain, show, on the basis of which the commanders will at least correct the further tactics of the Wagner units, not relying on artillery.

I recall the experience of the Chechen units in Mariupol. When it took five tanks from the Ministry of Defense to support the infantry, we were able to provide only one, the combat crew of which left the vehicle in the very first battle. Then the tankers had to be calmed down, set up for battle and put back into the combat vehicle so that they would cover at least one position of the Azov Satanists with volleys. There were also problems with other equipment. Since the beginning of the SVO, we could not replace 30 artillery guns. I personally called Moscow, talked to the commanders, commanders, superiors. A month later the problem was solved. Yes, it didn't work on the first call. But our units did not record videos, they did not give a pleasant informational occasion to the enemy.

By the way, filming the bodies of dead comrades for the sake of public outcry is wrong. Let's never do that.

In the zone of responsibility, for example, Apta Alaudinov, my dear brother, the commander of the Akhmat special forces, the deputy commander of the 2nd Army Corps of the RF Armed Forces, more than a hundred kilometers of the line of contact with the enemy. Not a day goes by that he doesn't have problems. But not once did Apty Aronovich declare this publicly via the Internet, but only through internal communication with the leadership. I note that the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff, with rare exceptions, have always met the Chechen units and helped. And misunderstandings are always present in ordinary civilian life, not to mention the war, where there is ALWAYS not enough ammunition! I really hope that Sergei Kuzhugetovich will listen to my call and an order will be given to the General Staff to go to the place and sort things out. This is the only and soldierly correct way out of the situation.

Chechen units fought side by side with the Wagnerites in the most difficult areas in Popasnaya, Severodonetsk, Lisichansk and other settlements of Donbass. Together they performed a sacred duty to the Motherland without division into nationalities or faith. The interests of the state and the security of the country must come first. And when the SVO ends, I would like all of us to be winners, every fighter, every commander, every Russian patriot. Together.

Yes, if older brother Prigozhin and "Wagner" leave, then the General Staff will lose an experienced combat unit, and his younger brother Kadyrov and "Akhmat" will come to his place in Artyomovsk. If the scenario is still like this, then our fighters are ready to advance and occupy the city. It's a matter of hours. But I would like us to take the remaining two kilometers of the city not at the cost of the lives of soldiers, but as a result of mutual understanding, support, determination of the command and fighters to fulfill the order of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of Russia Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.

⚡️🇺🇸 US President Joe Biden has decided to replace the head of the Joint Chief of Staff of the US Armed Forces, General Mark Milley , and intends to appoint Air Force General Charles Brown Jr. to his post, reports The Wall Street Journal.

CNN also reports that the US Joint Chiefs of Staff will be chaired by Air Force Chief of Staff Charles Brown.

The 4-year term of current chairman Mark Milley, who was appointed under Donald Trump, ends in September.

According to Politico, Brown will have to "balance between the threat of 🇨🇳 China and the need to equip the 🇺🇦 Ukrainian military with munitions, drones, missiles and other high-end equipment."
