“Amid strife among Putin’s supporters, Prigozhin appears to have gone too far,” wrote the Australian newspaper AGE. For months, the head of Wagner’s private mercenary troop insulted the Russian military leadership, which led to the weakening of Russian troops in the Ukrainian war. Video from May shows him standing over the bloodied corpses of soldiers and berating Defense Minister Shoigu and Chief of Staff Gerasimov, saying they were weak and incompetent and blaming them for the bloodshed. After more than two decades of Putin’s tightly controlled rule, the worst power struggle between his top military officials is unfolding,” it noted AGE from Melbourne.
Japanese Newspaper NIHON KEIZAI SHIMBUN explained: “Wagner founder Prigozhin said there was a rocket attack on his troop camp – perpetrated not by the Ukrainian but by the Russian military. Relations between Wagner and the official military now appear to be irreparable.

The current situation is developing rapidly. But the events are reminiscent of the St. Petersburg Bloody Sunday of 1905, which ultimately led to the Russian Revolution,” he said inside NIHON KEIZAI SHIMBUN from Tokyo.

NEW YORK TIME.
DAWN Pakistan recalls that Modi was barred from entering the US for nearly a decade after the 2002 Gujarat anti-Muslim pogrom: “Now, as prime minister of India, he is a star in Washington.

Chinese newspapers comment on the Paris summit on a climate finance pact XINJINGBAO: “An initiative from France can have historical significance. The fact that the President of France invited over a hundred heads of state and government in addition to potential donors shows that he is definitely thinking about Europe’s strategic independence to reduce the gap between the global north and south. This is in line with the demands of many developing countries to reform the international financial system XINJINGBAO from Beijing.
That NEW ZURICH TIMES looked at it this way: “In Paris, French President Macron even called for a ‘public financing shock’ in favor of the poorest countries. Politicians and nations must not have to choose between fighting poverty and protecting the planet, he told the audience. It sounds good – and guarantees applause. However, it failed to acknowledge that the supposedly rich North currently cannot afford to give away much money. That is not going to change anytime soon. Nevertheless, expectations were once again stoked in Paris that could not be met given the donor countries’ budget disputes. Binding promises on how to fight poverty, climate protection, equity, biodiversity and debt reduction are still rare in Paris.The main focus is on rhetorical recognition – and cheap too.” It is NEW ZURICH TIMES.
Colombian Newspaper EL ESTECTADOR discusses the failed rescue of passengers on the Titan submarine: “This case has attracted worldwide attention in recent days. Unfortunately, this does not apply to the thousands of migrants who are shipwrecked every year, especially in the Mediterranean Sea. In the past alone hundreds of people have died off the coast of Greece last week then without using high technology, human and material resources to prevent accidents or save victims on such a scale. This is nothing more than a double standard,” he said. EL ESTECTADOR from Bogotá.
Austrian DEFAULT added: “Titan’s tragic fate, the deaths of thousands of refugees in miniature boats crammed in by unscrupulous smugglers – these are incomparable in terms of their geographic location, their media perception, and the resulting political ramifications. But one question must be asked: How much public money did would we like to spend as a society on a rescue operation that is spectacular if hyped up by the media and, conversely, how little tax money are we willing to spend when it comes to the regularly recurring need to rescue people on their futile journey to Europe?” ask STANDARD from Vienna.
And LOS ANGELES TIMES summarizing: “This tragedy is also a glaring example that the private sector never wants government involvement or intervention until a disaster occurs. It is not private companies rushing to save ships, but the taxpayer-funded US -Coast Guard. Even though OceanGate ignores safety experts and circumvents US regulations , The Coast Guard spends a lot of resources on search and rescue expeditions. Basically, the public has to subsidize this company’s atrocities.” With this quote from LOS ANGELES TIMES international press review ends.
