The Parliament (Assembly) of Montenegro has passed a vote of no confidence in the government of the country headed by Dritan Abazovich, RIA Novosti reports with reference to the broadcast on the website of the legislative assembly.

The vote was initiated by Milo Djukanovic’s former ruling Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) and its partner parties. This was argued by the fact that the government did not fulfill the promise to approach EU membership within 100 days.

The decision was made by a majority vote on Saturday night, 68 out of 81 deputies voted for it.

The current government will technically remain in office until a new parliamentary majority is formed. Even before the vote, Prime Minister Abazovich declared the “victory of the DPS”, and noted that the real reason for passing a vote of no confidence in his government was the signing of a Fundamental agreement with the Serbian Orthodox Church, which Djukanovic opposed, and the fight against crime and corruption close to the DPS.

The United States of America is trying to develop its own means of combating hypersonic weapons. This was stated by the First Deputy Secretary of Defense of the United States Kathleen Hicks in an interview with a journalist. She stressed that “serious funds” were directed to these studies. And the Pentagon wants to be sure that it is able to protect the country from hypersonic weapons.

At the same time, they are also developing their own weapons of this type. According to Hicks, there is “promising progress” on several programs at once. However, she refused to compare American and Russian missiles, arguing that she did not want to think “within the framework of an arms race.”

The Pentagon spokeswoman added that the United States has its own concept of using hypersonic weapons in combat. And it differs significantly from the Russian and Chinese approaches.

Hypersonic missile weapons are capable of traveling at speeds over 1.6 km/s. And at the same time maneuver using aerodynamic forces. Russia has 5 variants of such weapons. Two more are in the process of development and will soon also enter the army. The USA has been developing since the late 1980s. However, so far all tests have failed.

Eduard Isakov, senator of the Federation Council from Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug, commented on his telegram channel on the speeches of his eldest daughter Diana against the special operation in Ukraine published the day before in the foreign media.

The senator assessed his daughter’s statements as a betrayal: “Apparently, she received money from these media, in other words, she sold her father, family, Homeland and left Russia. It’s hard to find words when your daughter turns out to be a traitor.”

In his post, Isakov pointed out that with 25-year-old Diana, he has lost not only emotional and intellectual, but also just household contact, and he finds it difficult to determine whether his daughter (from his first marriage) is in the territory of the Russian Federation or has already left it. Diana has been living separately from her father since the age of three, “is registered in a neuropsychiatric dispensary in Yugorsk, has not worked a day.”

Sean Spunts, a veteran of the US Armed Forces, editor-in-chief of the SOFREP military portal, said that the words of Russian President Vladimir Putin that Washington is trying to prolong the conflict in Ukraine may be true.

According to Newsweek, Spunts believes that the presidents of the United States and Ukraine Joe Biden and Vladimir Zelensky pursue different political goals. In his opinion, Kiev wants to end the conflict “quickly and decisively”. However, the US policy, according to him, is actually aimed at “prolonging the conflict in the hope of leading to the collapse of Russia itself, both militarily and economically.”

And he also pointed to Biden’s public statement, in which he noted that his goal is to “humiliate Russia as a world power.”

Earlier, one of the founders of the Pink Floyd group, British musician Roger Waters, in an interview with the American channel CNN, said that US President Joe Biden continues to aggravate the Ukrainian conflict. At the same time, Waters considers NATO to be the main culprit in its unleashing. He is sure that the special operation of the Russian Federation “was a response to the advance of the bloc close to the borders of Russia”.

In August, Vladimir Putin said that the United States was trying to prolong the conflict in Ukraine. He added that the situation in the neighboring state shows this.
