#2  White knighting women who don’t need it. There are videos all over the internet of female soldiers in military parades in sensible heels like that.

#3  Please put the shoes on their "other feet"; let men in the military perform the same exercise for 18 hours...
Guarantee this B.S. will evaporate by day 3.

#4  ...and please have the women lug a 100 lb ruck and full combat gear for 20 miles so they understand why the organization really exits and while Obama open the combat arms to females, there have been very very few takers.

#6  This is silly. The low heels are part of their Class A uniform, and oddly it may be necessary for them to march in their Class A's at some point and look, uh, military. Practice is good, at least they didn't have to make a sand table.

Azerbaijan frees 15 captured Armenian troops
[AlAhram] Foreign ministry in Baku said the move was part of a Russian-mediated deal and followed Yerevan's decision to release to Baku maps of minefields in the conflict zone

Azerbaijan on Saturday handed over to Yerevan 15 Armenian troops captured last year in the wake of an armed conflict over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region, officials said.
"I mean, have you ever tried feeding these Armenians?"
Fighting broke out between Azerbaijan and Armenia in September 2020 over Nagorno-Karabakh, claiming more than 6,500 lives over six weeks.

The war ended in November with a Russian-brokered ceasefire under which Yerevan ceded swathes of territories -- in and near Karabakh -- it had controlled for decades.

"On the initiative of the Russian Federation, Armenia submitted to the Azerbaijani side maps of about 92,000 anti-tank and anti-personnel mines planted during the occupation in the Fizuli and Zangilan regions" which were returned to Azerbaijan last year, the ministry said in a statement.

"The Azerbaijani side handed over to Armenia 15 people of Armenian origin."

A senior Azerbaijani diplomat told AFP the 15 men were captured by Azerbaijani troops in December last year.

A similar deal was negotiated between Baku and Yerevan last month by Georgia's Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvil, the United States' and European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
diplomats.

Seven Azerbaijani troops and 18 civilians have died and 110 have been maimed by mines in and near Nagorno-Karabakh since the ceasefire, the Azerbaijani government says.

Both Azerbaijani and Armenian forces planted mines during a bloody conflict in the early 1990s.

Aliyev said in May that Azerbaijan was ready for peace talks with Armenia, while Pashinyan later announced the two ex-Soviet nations were holding discussions on the delimitation and demarcation of their shared borders.

Ethnic Armenian separatists in Nagorno-Karabakh broke away from Azerbaijan as the Soviet Union collapsed, and the ensuing conflict has claimed around 30,000 lives.

#1  Aliyev will completely misread his fabulous victory. The Armenians were utterly humiliated and will eventually plan a ruthless playback.

The Armenians were shocked out of their complacency and will absorb the lesson. Then act accordingly

23 Russian children arrive in Moscow from Syria
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[REGNUM] The plane with 23 Russian children from Syria arrived at the Chkalovsky airfield in the Moscow region. This was announced on July 3 by the press service of the Presidential Commissioner for Children's Rights Anna Kuznetsova.

The youngest of the children is one year old. All the way children are accompanied by specialists from the Federal Center for Disaster Medicine of the Ministry of Health of Russia and the N.N. Pirogov. Children will be referred to federal medical organizations for medical care.

After all medical checks and mandatory quarantine, the children will be handed over to their next of kin.

Systematic work to locate Russian children and return them to their homeland from Iraq and Syria began in 2017. It is being carried out on behalf of Russian President Vladimir Putin . In total, about 300 children have returned to Russia from "hot spots" in the Middle East.

Earlier IA REGNUM reported on preparations for the return of children from Syria to Ugra.

Background:
In Ugra, every effort is being made to return three children from Syria, who are due to arrive in the region at the end of June. This was reported to TASS by the children's ombudsman for the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug Lyudmila Nizamova .

She noted the difficulties in preparing the documentation - genetic expertise is needed.

Recall that children from the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug in Syria and Iraq appeared together with their parents who fought on the side of the “Islamic State.”

In the Middle East, residents of Ugra who joined terrorists entered into marriages, brought wives, and children were born there. Since 2017, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Health and other departments have developed an algorithm of actions, thanks to which children return to Russia.
Rudaw reports the perspective of Syria’s Kurds:
Russia repatriated 20 orphans from al-Hol camp in northeast Syria (Rojava) on Saturday, Kurdish and Russian officials have confirmed.

"Today, 3 July 2021, the Autonomous Administration handed over 20 Russian orphaned children from ISIS families to the Russian Federation after signing an official repatriation document between both sides," tweeted Rojava's Foreign Relations Co-Chair Abdulkarim Omar.

The decision was also confirmed in a presser by Russia’s Deputy Commissioner for Children’s Rights, Larisa Nikolaevna, who said Moscow will continue to cooperate with Rojava officials "so that we can return every child in this camp to our country."

Countries in central Asia have repatriated more of their nationals than other states.

Russia repatriated 34 children from the camp in April, soon followed by Uzbekistan, which took back nearly 1,00 women and kiddies.

Russia repatriated 144 children in 2020, according to a December statement from the Commission for the Rights of the Child.

Hitler's tracks: Chernyansky concentration camp, Belgorod region
Translated via Google Translate. Edited.

Although Soviet authorities did investigate the atrocities at Chernyansky concentration camp in the 1960s, very little publicly available information exists.
