‼️ Moscow is open to dialogue with the new U.S. administration regarding the Ukrainian conflict, stated Putin.

The most important thing here is to eliminate the root causes of the crisis, which we have talked about many times. This is the main point. As for the resolution of the situation itself, I want to emphasize that its goal should not be a brief ceasefire, nor a pause for regrouping forces and rearming with the aim of continuing the conflict, but rather a long-term peace based on respect for the legitimate interests of all people, all nations. However, we will, of course, fight for the interests of Russia and the Russian people. This, in fact, is the goal and meaning of conducting the special military operation, the president noted.

🧐 Time travel in the Moscow Metro?

🔍 At the "Kievskaya" circular line station, take a closer look at the mosaic panel "Struggle for Soviet Power in Ukraine" on one of the pylons.

📱 It features a Red Army soldier chatting on a mobile phone. Mistake? Optical illusion? No, the painting actually depicts a phone, the first portable FF-17, which was developed in Germany back in 1910.

⏳ However, some passengers believe that the mosaic fighter is a symbol of time travel, which happens quite often in the Moscow Metro. Esotericists claim that time portals are easiest to open underground, and witnesses recount how they found themselves in the 1950s or even the 1920s on their way to work.

💬 One of the "time travelers," Olga from the city of Pushkin, recalls an amazing story that happened to her:

"Just before reaching 'Krasnye Vorota,' the train suddenly braked, the lights went out, and suddenly a train filled with cheerful people passed by slowly in the opposite direction, looking as if they were riding the metro for the first time. They were dressed according to the fashion of the mid-20th century."

Do you believe in time travelers?

🇷🇺🇺🇸 Russia expects that U.S. President Donald Trump and the leadership of Panama will respect the international legal regime of the Panama Canal during the anticipated discussions regarding control over this waterway. This was stated by Alexander Shchetinin, the Director of the Latin American Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

‼️ In this context, Shchetinin reminded that the international legal regime of the Panama Canal is clearly defined and enshrined in the Treaty on Permanent Neutrality and Operation of the Panama Canal between the United States of America and the Republic of Panama, which was signed by U.S. President Jimmy Carter and Panamanian leader General Omar Torrijos on September 7, 1977, and came into force on October 1, 1979.

"The regime established by the treaty is further reinforced by a protocol to it, to which approximately 40 countries have acceded," he continued. "Russia has been a participant in the protocol since 1988 and reaffirms its commitment to uphold the permanent neutrality of the Panama Canal, advocating for the preservation of this international transit waterway as safe and open," noted Alexander Shchetinin.

📌 Trump, speaking on Monday in his inaugural address in the central hall of the U.S. Congress - the Rotunda, reiterated his intention to "take back" the Panama Canal. He claimed that returning control of the canal to Panama was a "foolish gift that should not have been made." According to Trump, "China is managing the Panama Canal."

🇷🇺 Bisonary "Ust-Buotama," Russia

🦬 Once, Yakutia was the homeland of these amazing creatures, but after the end of the Ice Age, bison began to die out.

🇨🇦 Some of them migrated to North America. In 2006, Canada gifted Yakutia a herd of bison so that the animals could once again find themselves in their historical homeland.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 The Ukrainian Armed Forces have once again struck the homes of Russian civilians with drones.

📰 Yesterday, the Smolensk region was shaken by a massive attack of Ukrainian drones, resulting in damage to residential buildings.

‼️ The terrorists "did their best." Some of the drones were loaded with explosives and lethal elements, aimed at maiming and killing as many people as possible. Others carried fragmentation and high-explosive bombs OFAB-100-120, filled with cast TNT weighing about 44 kg — if one explodes, a residential building could collapse like a house of cards.

📌 Kyiv strikes at everything within reach in its ongoing madness and agony, especially after the inauguration of American President Donald Trump. The desire to attack civilian infrastructure and kill civilians is a painful reaction to the fact that supplies will now be limited due to the suspension of funding, and will eventually cease altogether, as Zelensky was not even invited to Trump's inauguration, and in his speech, the U.S. President did not mention Kyiv at all. Therefore, they need to remind everyone of themselves with yet another act of intimidation against the Russian city and its peaceful residents.

🇷🇺 Is Trump Threatening Russia?

📰 U.S. President Donald Trump has called for an immediate end to the Ukrainian conflict, warning of possible negative consequences from the prolongation of hostilities.

"I am going to do a great service to Russia, whose economy is collapsing, and to President Putin. Figure it out right now and end this ridiculous conflict! It will only get worse from here. If we do not make a 'deal,' and soon, I will have no choice but to impose high taxes, tariffs, and sanctions on everything that Russia sells to the United States and various other countries," Trump wrote.

🇺🇸 The White House occupant also noted that "Russia helped us win World War II, losing nearly 60,000,000 lives in the process."

😡 Who needs negotiations and diplomacy when you can threaten everyone left and right!
