With a total of P32.98 billion in foreign direct investments (FDI), or more than 71 percent of the P46.23billion national total in the second quarter of this year, the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) fur ther boosted economic growth and erased a nagging uncertainty about the future of shipbuilding here, a cornerstone in Subic’s claim to fame as the country’s first and most pro gressive free port.
The Dutch investments, which are combined under the Agila Subic banner, total P18.45 billion. The big gest of these is that of Agila South Inc., which pledged P10.74 billion for the development, operation and sub leasing of the Subic shipyard.

Subic’s second-quarter foreign investment haul was not only 30,205 percent higher than the aggregate of P108.8-million projects it signed on in the first quarter; it also fortified the country’s latest three-month batch of approved foreign invest ments, which was more than double the P22.5 billion posted in the sec ond quarter of 2021.

The Agila ventures are 99.99 percent controlled by Dutch prin cipals, with minimal shares from American and Filipino partners, according to SBMA-BIG records.
MEANWHILE, a Singaporean firm named Vectrus Subic Corp. has pledged P14.52 billion to provide general logistics and warehousing services in consonance with the Agila project.Vectrus, which operates as a global government services com pany, will provide “storage, care, repair and maintenance of materi als, stocks, vehicles and equipment belonging to the United States gov ernment,” according to its company profile filed with the SBMA.
It will also serve in inven tory management and movement, importation and exportation of materials, stocks and equipment within and in the immediate vi cinity of warehouse facilities.
SBMA Senior Deputy Administrator for Business Renato W. Lee III said the 2022 first-half records followed suit with total in vestments rising to P35.35 billion, and with shipyard-related pledges reaching P32.97 bil lion, or 93.26 percent of the total.

A nd while the SBMA signed P2.89 billion worth of investments in 2019 compared to P340 million by AFAB, P1.25 billion by CDC, and P340 million by CZA, Subic again lagged in the pandemic year of 2020 with P431 mil lion, compared to P2.57 billion for CDC and P1.26 billion for CEZA.

W hen Hanjin-Subic was fully operational, it made the Philippines the fourth biggest shipbuilder in the world—a distinction gained after the firm delivered 123 vessels, some of them then the biggest in the
A s it turned out, the firm owed some $400 million in out standing loans from Philippine banks, aside from $900 million in debts with lenders in South Korea. And it did not have enough cash to pay back its loans.
Malasakit and success
Then in a move that stunned the business community here and sent shockwaves abroad, the Ko rean firm in Subic filed for bank ruptcy on January 8, 2019, some 12 years after it broke ground in 2006 for its shipyard operations.
We strive hard to maintain the confi dence of our investors, and keep the Freeport as an ideal investment destination,” Magno said. “This is because we are driven by our core value of malasakit, which is the deepest form of caring— malasakit towards our stake holders, and malasakit to Subic, which we call our home.”Magno added that the SBMA Business and Investment Group stayed open 24/7 at the height of the pandemic and even during lockdowns to minimize disruption of busi ness among the industries that were allowed to operate.Asthe SBMA continues to transition to wards the new normal, Magno said the Subic agency expects to generate more investments by further improving its services and being fast, friendly and flexible in its dealing with customers, especially investors.
ACCORDING to the SBMA, the Subic Bay Freeport posted substantial economic growth despite the lingering effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.Inits 2021 year-end report, the Subic agency pointed out that new investments, including expansions, totaled P17.29 billion, higher than the 2020 record by P15.74 bil lion, or 1,011 percent. The 2021 investment record even topped the pre-pandemic 2019 level by P8.05 billion, or 87 percent, with the bulk coming from a P15-billion commitment to develop the SBFZ marshalling yard.
Following the release of their statement, SBFCC President Benjamin E. Antonio III told the BusinessMirror in a March 30 interview that the business situation in Subic “has de teriorated over the years, until it has become untenable.” As a result, a lot of investors were already opting out, he added.
With data from the PSA, the SBFCC pointed out that Subic generated only P803.9 million in foreign investments in 2018, com pared to P1.67 billion by the Authority of the Freeport Area of Bataan (AFAB); P7.14 billion by the Clark Development Corp. (CDC); and P1.19 billion by the Cagayan Economic Zone Authority (CEZA).
The other substantial investment pledg es in the second quarter were made by Unco United Oil and Gas Philippines Inc., with P1.94 billion; Filgasco Trading, with P109.77 million; Northern Express Transport Inc., with P62 million; Great Mobility Industrial Corp., with P61.04 million; Metro Built En terprises Corp., with P61.04 million; and Erra Trucks and Equipment Corp, with P55 mil lion. All are Filipino-owned companies.
Curing the Hanjin ‘crash’
THE P18.45-billion investment by Agila is expected to restore Subic’s preeminent position as one of the country’s top investment destina tions.It is also the much-awaited white knight to rescue Subic’s lady in financial distress; the longsought-for balm to cure Subic af ter Hanjin Heavy Industries Corp.Philippines (HHIC-Phil) heavily crashed and burned in 2019.
L ee said the SBMA successfully processed 24 investment applications in the first quar ter of 2022, and followed this up with a total of 37 new approvals in the second quarter, which included the four Agila ventures.
Continued from A1 Manuel G. Romualdez, US Secre tary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro, Cerberus cofounder and co-CEO Steve Feinberg, and former SBMA Chairman and Administrator Wil ma T. Eisma, who represented the SBMA in the negotiations last year for the Hanjin shipyard takeover.
KAREN G. MAGNO, manager of the SBMA Business and Investment Department for Manufacturing and Maritime, which facili tated the Agila investments, attributed the surge in Subic investments to the agency’s commitment to its stakeholders.

He added that the entire Subic Freeport community “is looking forward with much enthusiasm to work in partnership with all of you for the growth and progress of the Philip pine economy, in general, and in the Subic Bay Freeport community, in particular.”
Moreover, Gatchalian advised tax payers to take time reading documents presented by tax officers, stressing that “kailangang basahin nang maigi ng taxpayer ang nakasulat sa dokumento na ipapakita ng revenue officer kung mag sasagawa ito ng audit upang malaman ng taxpayer kung mayroong anumang discrepancy o inconsistency.”
In fact, PBEd, citing a recent World Bank report, said the Philippines has the highest level of learning poverty in East Asia and the Pacific, which jumped from 70 percent in 2019 to 91 percent this year. The advocacy group noted that this means nine out of 10 Filipino children aged 10 are still struggling to read simple texts.

To me a more fitting descrip tion would be what writer Doro thy Sayers once noted: “Work is not, primarily, a thing one does to live, but the thing one lives to do. It is, or it should be, the full expression of the worker’s faculties, the thing in which he finds spiritual, mental and bodily satisfaction.”
T he current figure is already dou ble the 4.6 million senior citizens in the year 2000.
I n the Philippines, we don’t have an equivalent phrase for this trend. “Tamaditis” comes close. But a recent disturbing study on Filipino workers shows a rise in absenteeism, productiv ity loss and employee resigna tion among them.

Be a Noah Dearborn or Jiro Ono in a world of quiet quitters. Take pride in every aspect of your work, no matter what job you perform, no matter how painstaking. For only when you bring your mind, your talents, and creativity to the work that you love, will you truly feel a sense of fulfillment and thereby defeat age.

“We have had several payables that we are now requesting with the DBM for the release of cash obligation. We will increase our absorptive capacity in 2022,” he said.
“The allocation for DPWH programs and projects is basically lumped with the NCR Central Office. According to the DPWH, direct releases to the regions only cover PS and MOOE, but not CO. The prac tice of holding huge lump sum funds with the NCR Central Office contradicts the intent of line-item budgeting to promote greater transparency and accountability of the national budget,” it said.

DPWH seeks okay of ₧718.4-B budget for ‘BBM’ infra projects in ‘23
AS of December 31, 2021, the CPBRD said the DBM has released a total of P6.8 billion Covid-19 funds to the DPWH under the Bayanihan 2 and the GAA 2020 and 2021 mainly to fund the construction of quarantine facilities and the agency’s Tourism Road Infra structure Program (TRIP).
However,billion. theHouse Congressional Policy and Budget Research Depart ment (CPBRD), in its budget note, pointed out the absence of the regional distribution of the operations budget, while programs and projects are “basi cally lumped” with the National Capital Region Central Office.
It said this allocation consists of spe cial purpose funds and lump sums that will be distributed to various regions during the budget year.
“Meaning,2.27. for every P1 spent on in frastructure, P2.27 is contributed to to tal GDP. Its large multiplier effect is the reason why infrastructure development has long been a core policy of various administrations,” she said.
“Neda further estimates that pub lic infrastructure spending from 2017 onwards will contribute nearly P1.3 trillion to the economy, or 4.9 percent of GDP, by 2022. The current admin istration pledges to build on the gains from the previous years by implement ing firmly funded Build, Build, Build programs and refocusing others to strengthen industry linkages as well as physical and digital connectivity,” Quimbo added.

Meanwhile, MOOE will jump by P20.2 billion or 377.5 percent, while PS will increase by P2.2 billion or 20.5 percent in 2023.

“Worse, the QRF funds amounting to P1.4 billion under the GAA 2021 has remained unobligated and undisbursed even at the height of the Covid-19 pan demic in 2021,” it added.

In questioning the DPWH of its unused appropriations in the previ ous years, Deputy Majority Leader and Iloilo Rep. Julienne Baronda said the DPWH has P83 billion unused appro priations in 2019, P41 billion in 2020, and P87.6 billion in 2021.
Albeit lower by P90.6 billion or 11.8 percent in 2023, CO continues to account for the largest share in the DPWH budget at 94.7 percent.
ACCORDING to the CPBRD, all regions will experience a cut in their budgets, while the allocation for DPWH “nation wide” projects will increase dramati cally to P628.2 billion in 2023 from P3.7 billion in 2022.
The CPBRD also said the absence of a regional distribution of the opera tions budget makes it difficult to deter mine whether the DPWH is allocating the scarce government resources to the regions or localities that need the funds the most.
Meanwhile, the regions with the biggest budget cuts are Region 5 (99.1 percent), Region 4B (99 percent), CAR (98.9 percent), Region 8 (98.8 percent), and Region 1 (98.75 percent).
For 2023, Bonoan said the DPWH budget of P718.4 billion is 9 percent lower compared to the 2022 budget allocation of P786.6
By major programs, the CPBRD said, although the budget for the Convergence and Special Support Program will be 39.4 percent lower at P214.0 billion in 2023 from P352.8 billion in 2022, the program continues to corner the largest share in the DPWH budget for operations at 33.4
Of these, it said P5.2 billion was obli gated (or 76 percent obligation rate) while only P2.9 billion was disbursed (or 42.2 percent disbursement rate).
EO 138 provides for the full devolu tion of certain functions of the Execu tive branch to local governments units (LGUs), as well as the creation of a Com mittee on Devolution. This was issued by President Rodrigo Roa Duterte on June 1, 2021 in consonance with the Supreme Court ruling in Mandanas, et al.
The DPWH expenditure program for 2023 is composed of three major expense classes namely personnel expenses or PS (P12.7 billion), main tenance and other operating expenses or MOOE (P25.5 billion), and capital outlay or CO (P680.1 billion).

“A more detailed allocation was even adopted wherein the budget for road construction, for example, identified particular segments of national roads of certain localities to facilitate monitoring and evaluation. Disclosing the intended region or DEO for certain budget alloca tion should be the norm because ideally, projects at the regional or DEO level in the subsequent fiscal year or years have already been planned, identified, and programmed, hence, should be budgeted appropriately,” it added
“As the budget for the Network De velopment Program, for example, is lumped in the NCR Central Office, the NEP 2023 is silent on how much funds would go to Region IX with 6.9 percent of its national roads unpaved (the highest among the regions), or to Region II with 31.5 percent of national roads in poor and bad condition (the highest among the regions),” it added.
This was part of the special fund al located by the DPWH for its Covid-19 initiatives under the Bayanihan 2.

“For 2022 as of now, our obligation has reached 90 percent and we still have a few more months to actually obligate many of the projects—about P80 billion. We are confident that we are able to, honestly may not be 100 percent, but we will be able to obligate almost 95 percent of the entire budget allocation for 2022,” he added.

These programs include high standard highways/expressway; inter-island link age/mega bridge program; flood man agement program; disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation program; construct/upgrade access roads to des ignated tourism destinations; industrial trade corridors, RoRo ports/seaports, rail way stations and airports; and construct farm to market/farm to mill roads under the agri-infrastructure support program from Department of Agriculture’s budget.
“The practice of lumping the budget for infrastructure projects under ‘na tionwide’ before it is finally allocated to the regions at the start of the fiscal year is fundamentally unsound and unwarranted. It contradicts the prin ciples of transparency and account ability espoused in line-item budget ing because the allocations for DPWH infrastructure programs and projects are undisclosed at least at the regional level,” the CPBRD said.

LANT-BASED cooking is not only a trend, but also becoming a necessity today, especially for those who are conscious about their health. One also can’t simply ignore it, as food brands and restau rants have plant-based options, giv ing diners and consumers healthier a lternatives.Backinthe 2000s there were limited sources of plant-based food in the Philippines. But through the years and as a result of the growing health and environmental concerns, consumer interest in plant-based diet and lifestyle have sparked a wave of innovation in the “plant-forward” movement.Navigating the way toward this lifestyle is not always an easy transi tion.

Jamie Francis Dy, vice president of information and communications technology and data privacy officer of the medical institution, told reporters in a recent webinar that choosing AWS in its digital transformation has given the 144-year-old hospital “new capability and experience to accelerate things to where we want to go.”
Prior to going to AWS, Dy said CGH experienced a lot of challenges from the previous vendor because it failed to make the computerization program go live in six months. When AWS took over, the computer system went live in a week’s time.
While RPA technologies are readily used and trusted by local and foreign customers for credit scoring, reconciliation and accounting operations, e-commerce payments, and transfers to digital bank accounts, there are concerns and perceived risks surrounding them.
The use of RPA technology is consistent with advanced Open Finance industries like the European Union, the United States and Australia.
“Customer-consented RPA is the crucial technology that we need to get there. By allowing the safe and secure use of RPA, we as an industry can collectively enable Filipinos to avail new and alternative financial products and services, with better quality and at an affordable cost, without compromising their financial consumer and data privacy rights,” he

One of the things that Zeinab is recovering from is a miscarriage. Now, she is doing her best to take care of herself and her kids Lucas and Bia.
The Beautéderm press conference was overwhelming for her because even if her videos are watched by millions of people, it was the first media event where she was the star.
Today’s “It Girls” are more authentic and vulnerable largely because of social media where their lives are documented. People can relate to them even if they are rich, young and famous. They’re also usually media-savvy.

“Thefinances.implementation of the BSP Open Finance Framework will potentially change the lives of Filipino consumers and leads us a step closer toward holistic financial inclusion in the Philippines,” Brankas chief executive officer Todd Schweitzer said, citing the importance of RPA to develop bank-managed APIs securely available to verified third parties.
He stressed the importance of having AWS specially during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. By having AWS as the core of its digital infrastructure, Dy said the hospital achieved significant benefits such as reduction of time in discharging the patients.
With its legitimate and recognized utilization globally, it is deemed an interim solution prior to bank-supported open APIs being made available by the thousands of financial institutions in the Philippines, and a fallback to ensure financial consumer choice when bank-managed APIs are offline, underperformed or unavailable.
Zeinab grew up in Cavite where she was a majorette who liked twirling her baton during fiestas and big events. Despite being a Gen Z who has millions of followers and subscribers, giving the public the impression that she is an expert on all things digital, Zeinab makes a surprising revelation.
Everything Zeinab does on social media is widely followed and shared by her fans. Her break-up from rapper Skusta Klee, for instance, was a hot topic on TikTok.“Ilook OK and I seem happy but I’m not. I’ve had difficulty in focusing. I used to be able to do five videos a week but now, I can barely do two. I need time to heal from what happened. It was traumatizing.”

Zeinab said self-care, including proper oral hygiene, is very important.

If they betray or abuse you, that means they don’t love Zeinabyou.”ishappily dating right now and unlike her previous relationship, she’s keeping this one low key and taking it one day at a time. “I learned that some things should be kept private, even if I’m always seen on social media,” said Zeinab. ■
“I warmly welcome Zeinab to the Beautéderm Corp. and I’m very happy to say that on the day we announced her as our ambassador, we received so many inquiries about the products she endorses. Even her fans tag me on social media showing that they’ve bought the toothpaste and the mouthwash,” said Anicoche-Tan.AtBeautéderm, Zeinab joins the likes of Marian Rivera, Dingdong Dantes, Piolo Pascual, Bea Alonzo, Arjo Atayde, Sylvia Sanchez, Bianca Umali, Maja Salvador, Cassy Legaspi, Jane Oineza, Andrea Brillantes, and many other big stars as brand ambassadors.Duringthe press conference, Zeinab shared how thrilled she was to have been followed by her childhood idol and fellow Beautéderm ambassador on
“My dream is to buy a house abroad so my children can study there. I want them both to get a good education, to have the freedom to do what they want, and to live normal lives. I want them to be strong and learn to stand on their own,” said Zeinab.
She’s also making TV appearances and while she enjoys them, Zeinab said she is willing to do movies or TV “I’ddramas.loveto do thrillers and play characters who are feisty and funny.”
“I was just a kid creating videos. I never imagined this would happen to me,” said the 23-year-old Zeinab in Filipino during her launch as the ambassador of Beautéderm Corp.’s oral care line.

THE Chinese General Hospital and Medical Center (CGH) recently selected Amazon Web Services (AWS) to modernize and digitize its health data infrastructure and operations.

LEADING technology enablers in the financial sector have banded together to promote the use of customer-allowed software robotics toward holistic financial inclusion in the Philippines. Brankas, in collaboration with FinScore, Finverse and Smile API, as well as support from the Open Finance Committee of FinTech Philippines Association, has published a white paper on how robotic process automation (RPA)based application programming interfaces (APIs) directly support and help realize the objectives of the Open Finance Framework issued by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) in 2021.Providing the guidelines for enabling Open Finance in the Philippines and setting the standard across Southeast Asia, this regulatory framework is aligned with the BSP Digital Payments Transformation Roadmap 2020-2023 aimed at strengthening customer preference for digital payments and pushing more innovative and responsive digital financial services. It focuses on greater competition in the financial services market, enabling more informed financial decisions for consumers, and encouraging greater control of their data and

“When we launched our mail and web hosting server, we were able to reduce patient discharge from five to 10 hours to 10 minutes,” Dy pointed.
Dy said the staff of the medical center increased its productivity by 60 percent with the introduction of medicine and the digital apps. Moreover, it also introduced an app exclusively for Covid-19 patients to ensure a smooth processing regarding their treatment.
“Before AWS came in, CGH spent a lot on servers and hardware but to no avail,” Dy pointed out.
She admits that the constant scrutiny of people and the speculations about her have been difficult, and she just wants her kids to experience the things she experienced growing up, minus the hardships.
The white paper underscores that RPA-based APIs are legal in the country under prevailing laws, and are enabled by key policies under competition, consumer protection, and privacy laws. In particular, it implements the financial consumer’s data privacy rights to access and data portability.
“I grew up poor. We didn’t have money and most of the time, we didn’t have food on the table. We were
Now that she is rich and famous, Zeinab loves taking trips down memory lane, even hanging out at the cemetery like she used to do growing up. She enjoys going back to her Bacoor hometown although she knows fame has changed things for her.
“I got my first cellphone at 16 and I never saw Quezon City until I was 19. I lived a very simple life. I grew up very naive.”
“It also increased our momentum to clear our data system that enabled us to reconcile it with government policies,” Dy added. Dy said AWS also enabled the institution to craft a healthy ecosystem that has diverse applications covering security, data

WELL, an Apple launch wouldn’t be complete without some sort of tragedy. First, it was the headphone jack, then the charging brick, and now, it just killed off the SIM tray because the iPhone 14 series will only be using e-sim—at least in the US—for now.
The GT3 Pro, in particular, is designed for elite users looking to dominate in all aspects of their lives, from doing business in the boardroom to setting records climbing the highest mountains. As Huawei’s flagship smartwatch, it boasts a premium design with high-tech materials, revolutionary health management with advanced algorithms, and ultimate performance tracking in outdoor workout training.Inspired by the traditions of heirloom watches, the company’s engineers endeavored to bring the classic timeless designs of historic watchcraft back to the smartwatch revolution. Thus, the GT3 Pro design comes in two versions: the geometric 46mm Titanium Edition, which sports a sapphire glass face and titanium frame, and the elegant 43mm Ceramic Edition, engineered with advanced nano-tech ceramic material.
APPLE says the battery has been improved with the iPhone 14, and would last an hour longer than the iPhone 13. With its larger size, the iPhone 14 Plus has even longer battery life than the iPhone 14. iPhone 14 lasts for up to 20 hours when watching video, while iPhone 14 Plus lasts for up to 26 hours when watching video.

The new A16 Bionic chipset is a Pro exclusive, and has a 6core CPU with 2 performance and 4 efficiency cores, a 5core GPU and 16core Neural Engine.
Satellite connectivity can also be used to share your location with friends and family in Find My when you’re out hiking or camping in remote areas. This feature only works in the United States and Canada though I don’t think Filipinos would need this because we always share our location on social media anyway.
The watch design is inspired by the air intake grille of sports cars, with a durable polymer fiber body, ceramic bezels, and titanium alloy crown, altogether light yet durable. The watch features a professional running boost solution, with a brand-new scientific training system and professionalized workout system, programmed with running capability indicators like fatigue value, workout performance assessments, and Huawei TruSeen 5.0+ heart sensors. It’s hardy too, with a long battery life for all-weather usage.

The boost to retail sales was partly due to a lower base of comparison from a year earlier and a surge in car sales after Beijing gave buyers subsidies on electric vehicles. Industrial output was also supported by a big spike in electricity produc tion during August’s heat wave, a rebound that’s unlikely to be sustained. TheNational Bureau of Sta tistics (NBS) China said the data showed “the economy withstood the impacts of multiple unex pected factors and sustained the momentum of recovery.” Even so, the economy faces a more complex and grim situation this year than in 2020, given the dif ficulty in controlling Covid out breaks and a slowdown in the global economy, Fu Linghui, a spokesman NBS, told reporters in Beijing. Despitesigns of improvement, the recovery remains fragile as Covid outbreaks spread to more parts of the country and the gov ernment tightens curbs to contain infections in the run-up to the Communist Party’s twice-in-adecade leadership congress next month.

Momentum shift STILL , even with its more numerous weapons, Russia is still plagued by a shortage of troops and low mo rale and is unlikely to be able to reverse what the US calls a “shift in momentum” toward Kyiv with its steadily increasing supplies of arms from Washington and European allies. The Kremlin’s attempts to use disruptions of energy supplies to pressure Europe so far haven’t eroded support for Ukraine, while Moscow’s vague hints at possible nuclear escalation ring hollow.
USSIAN President Vladimir Putin told Chinese leader Xi Jinping he understands Beijing’s “questions and concerns” about his invasion of Ukraine, a rare admission of tensions between the diplomatic allies.
But general mobilization likely wouldn’t solve the immediate prob lem because it would take months
In their first in-person talks since the war began, Putin hailed “the balanced position of our Chi nese friends on the Ukraine crisis” and offered to “explain in detail our position” on Ukraine. In short televised comments at the start of the meeting, the Russian leader also blasted what he called “provocations by the US and its satellites in the TaiwanCallingStrait.” Putin an “old friend,” Xi said “China is willing to work with Russia, display the responsibilities of the major powers, and play a leading role to inject stability and positive energy to a world in chaos.”
The remarks are the latest in dication that Xi will continue to withhold material support as Pu tin suffers humiliating battlefield losses, and opposes any escalation that could further disrupt food and energy supply chains now roiling the globalInvestorseconomy. had been concerned that China would step up support for Russia and potentially face US sanctions, particularly after the Asian nation’s No. 3 official, Li Zhanshu, recently told Russian lawmakers that leaders in Beijing “fully understand the necessity” of Putin’sWhileactions.China has provided Rus sia with diplomatic support since the war began, and accused the US of provoking Putin into action by pushing to expand Natio, Beijing has stopped short of doing anything concrete to help Russia’s military.
The tour began on Wednesday in Kazakhstan, where the 69-yearold held talks with President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. Xi was originally expected to make his inaugural international trip in November for the G-20 summit in Bali, which will be attended by President Joe Biden as well as Putin. Xihas appeared wearing a mask for most of his meetings on the cen tral Asian trip, but wasn’t when he met Putin, who has almost never appeared in public with a face cov ering.

Instead, Putin and his com manders are more likely to opt for a “crypto-mobilization,” including through a bill that would legalize making conscription demands by mail, rather than in person, ac cording to the Institute for the Study of War, a US think tank that follows the war in daily reports. The goal would be to “promote re cruitment into contract service via deception, coercion, or promised financial rewards,” the ISW said in its Tuesday Pro-Kremlinreport.pundits on state TV have admitted serious rever sals after the Defense Ministry presented the hasty withdrawal of troops in the face of superior advancing Ukrainian forces as a redeployment. More than 20,000 residents in liberated areas in Kharkiv region fled to Russia fearing reprisals by Ukrainian authorities, the Tass news service reported. Kyiv has said it will pros ecute citizens who collaborated with occupation forces.
The Chinese leader’s decision to visit Central Asia first has put the focus on meetings with leaders from Russia, India, Pakistan and Iran— countries more aligned with Beijing’s efforts to push back on the US and its allies.

president and now a senior Krem lin official known for his hot-tem pered public statements, warned Tuesday that “the military cam paign will move to another level.”
“Western countries will no lon ger be able to stay in their clean houses and apartments laughing at how masterfully they’re weak ening Russia by proxy,” he wrote in Telegram. “Everything around them will be on fire. The earth will burn and concrete will melt.”
Inside Russia, public calls are growing for a more aggressive stance. “There is a war going on, and we have no right to lose it,” Com munist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov said Tuesday. “We need a complete mobilization of the country.” TheKremlin is continuing to rule out mass conscription, a move which risks triggering unrest, despite the Ukrainian counteroffensive’s success in recapturing more than 6,000 square kilometers of terri tory so far this month, dealing a decisive blow to the Russian bid to seize control of the east.
“But if it were up to me, I would announce martial law in the whole country and use any weapon we have because today we’re fight ing with the entire Nato bloc,” he said. The alliance isn’t conducting combat operations in Ukraine.
Putin still doesn’t see the inva sion as a “mistake,” according to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who spoke by phone with the Rus sian president Tuesday.
“The Russian army fighting in Ukraine is half the size of our Ukrainian opponents.”
Ned Price, a US State Department spokesman, said Putin’s remarks about Xi’s concerns were “striking.”

The Chinese leader is expected to use the SCO summit as a plat form to promote his vision of a world where Beijing can expand its interests without US economic or military pressure. Xi is a month away from a twice-in-a-decade Communist Party congress where he’s expected to clinch a precedentbusting third term, and push his agenda for a multipolar world.
“Our generals, who’ve graduat ed from military academies, know well the subtleties of the way of war,” he wrote in Telegram.

Reinforce ments are bolstering Russian de fenses in Kherson and the army is continuing its offensive in the Donbas even though it lost a key supply route after the Ukrainian advances, he said by phone.
Criticism in Russia of the sudden retreat in the northeast Kharkiv region over the last week has spread from nationalist blog gers to mainstream political fig ures. But its forces are still holding key positions in Ukraine’s Donbas region and putting up a fierce fight against its troops near Kherson in the south.

“It’s not surprising that the PRC apparently has such concerns,” he said, referring to China by the initials of its formal name. “It is somewhat curious that President Putin would be the one to admit it so openly.”Atthe same time, Xi’s com ments show that China still sees Russia as an important partner in its broader struggle with the US. Xi said that China would con tinue to support Russia on its core interests, even as neither leader mentioned the “no limits” friend ship they declared in February at the Beijing Winter Olympics just weeks before Putin’s invasion.
UMILIATED by lightning Ukrainian gains on the battlefield, Russian President Vladimir Putin faces narrowing options as he seeks to turn the tide in his struggling nearly seven-month-old invasion.
