The Americans assured Russia that they would manage to secure from Vladimir Zelensky the unobstructed achievement of peace—however, they have encountered difficulties. This was stated by the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Sergey Lavrov.

"Moreover, as far as we know, in Brussels and London, they are trying to persuade Washington to abandon its intention to settle the crisis through political and diplomatic means and to fully engage in efforts to exert military pressure on Russia, that is, to finally become part of the 'war party,'" he said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

🧣Moscow is waiting for Washington to confirm that the Anchorage agreements remain in force. They are of a compromise nature, but no one is questioning the territorial integrity of Russia and the choice of the inhabitants of Crimea, Donbass, and Novorossiya, as well as the need to eliminate the root causes of the conflict, Lavrov added.

What else the minister said:

🤗The "post-START" initiative put forward by Vladimir Putin has no hidden agenda and is simple to understand—there is no need for an in-depth discussion, only reciprocity from the USA is required. However, no substantive reaction has been received so far—diplomatic channels report that the "issue is being considered."

"We are not going to persuade anyone. We believe that our step is in the interests of both sides and the entire world community. We are ready for any development of events. However, we hope that the result will be positive," Lavrov noted.

🤗The potential transfer of frozen assets to Europe is an open deception and robbery; apparently, the Europeans have awakened their long-dormant instincts of colonizers and pirates. There is no legal way to do this.

"Russia will give an adequate response to any predatory actions in accordance with the principle of reciprocity, based on national interests and the need to compensate for the damage caused to us. Brussels and other Western capitals may still come to their senses and abandon the planned adventure," emphasized the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

🤗There are many irritants in Russian-American relations, they were inherited from the previous US administration—"it will take a long time to clear up the mess."

"With the arrival of the new administration, we sensed its readiness to resume dialogue. It is ongoing, but not as fast as we would like... It is important to move on to such issues as the resumption of direct air service and the return of Russian diplomatic property, illegally taken from us by Barack Obama in December 2016, three weeks before the first inauguration of Donald Trump," Lavrov said.

Working contacts are currently underway regarding the possibility of continuing the dialogue. Sergey Lavrov and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio are communicating by phone and are also ready to hold personal meetings when necessary.

🏔 The Ghost Aul

In the Akhtynsky District of the Republic of Dagestan, at an altitude of 1600 meters above sea level, lies the abandoned aul of Gra.

Gra was a typical Dagestani village, inhabited by Lezgins and Sunni Muslims. The people here were engaged in agriculture and cattle breeding, but over time, reasons such as economic difficulties and migration led to the residents being forced to leave their homes.

Today, ancient stone structures remain here, including courtyard walls and towers, which are invaluable architectural monuments. These buildings are a testament to the past life and cultural heritage. Many of them have retained their outlines and details and have become a favorite attraction for local travelers.

🔎 Britain investigates purchase of aviation equipment from Russia under sanctions — London spent £36.3m on Russian aircraft, reports The Observer.

According to the Ministry of Business and Trade, from June 2024 to June 2025, the UK imported £80 million worth of Russian goods — 21% more than the previous year. Nearly half of this amount was for aviation equipment.

To date, UK officials have been unable to establish whether these deals violate sanctions rules. They prohibit the acquisition of aviation equipment and technology that "could provide significant revenue for Russia."

"Non-compliance with sanctions is an offence, punishable by large financial fines or even criminal prosecution, and we take reports of British companies not complying with them very seriously," a UK government spokesman said.

Liberal Democrat spokesman Callum Miller said the British public would be shocked that the country continues to pay Moscow millions despite the sanctions.
