      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        "Putin has been invited to a BRICS summit in Johannesburg next month but is the target of an International Criminal Court arrest warrant -- a provision that Pretoria as an ICC member would be expected to implement were he to attend.

        South Africa's diplomatic dilemma is playing out in court, where the leading opposition party, the Democratic Alliance (DA), is trying to force the government's hand and ensure the Kremlin leader is held and handed over to the ICC if he steps foot in the country."

        https://www.politico.eu/article/russia-vladimir-putin-has-strange-deep-voice-in-address-to-brics-summit/

        Bizarrely, the version of the video played to the summit in Johannesburg was dubbed by a voice actor who made the Kremlin chief sound like either a Hollywood villain, 1970s soul star Barry White, or a gangster being interviewed for a TV program whose voice had been dubbed to protect his identity.

        In the original version of the video message, posted on the Kremlin website, Putin coughed several times as he began to read a prepared text. He said Russia would be prepared to return to the “so-called [grain] deal” if its conditions — previously stated to be hidden sanctions that make it difficult for banks and businesses to conduct food and fertilizer deals — are met.

        No reason was given for Putin's actual voice not being heard, but RIA, the state news agency, said: “Putin addressed the BRICS business council via video link. Not in his own voice.”

                          Russia has moved missiles off isles disputed with Japan

                          Multiple air defense missile systems deployed by Russia on two disputed islands off northern Japan in 2020 have been moved off the isles, an analysis of satellite images showed Thursday, raising the possibility that Moscow is repurposing weapons from its Far East for use in the war against Ukraine.

                          Yu Koizumi, a lecturer at the University of Tokyo, made the analysis based on satellite images of the Etorofu and Kunashiri islands taken by U.S. space tech company Maxar Technologies Inc.

                          Koizumi said he is also convinced that old tanks and artillery previously stored at a military facility in Sakhalin are being sent to the frontlines in Ukraine.

                          He also speculates that a large number of old tanks and howitzers at a military facility in southern Sakhalin were sent to Ukraine after being temporarily taken to factories for repairs.

                          Troops from the Far East are also being dispatched to Ukraine. An elite naval infantry brigade based in Vladivostok has suffered significant losses in combat, and some residents of the Etorofu and Kunashiri islands have died after being mobilized, according to Koizumi.

                          "The Russian military is deploying all weapons at their disposal, which is evidence of their active engagement in the conflict," Koizumi said.

                                        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                          Yes, your source although questionable - https://oko.press/visegrad24-anonomous-account-mystery-revealed - is reporting accurately. PepsiCo is indeed on Kyiv’s naughty list:

                                          The same credibility however cannot be said for the Horace’s source, the greyzone.com, as this search link indicates:
