🇷🇺 Putin: We Now Understand What Ukraine's Political Leadership Is

The President of Russia commented for the first time on the corruption scandal in Ukraine. He stated this during a visit to one of the command posts of the "West" group. In particular, Vladimir Putin called the Kyiv authorities a criminal group that has usurped power since last March.

"Under the pretext of the need to continue the war with the Russian Federation, they are holding on to this power for the purpose of personal enrichment. This has become a well-known fact now after the corruption investigation in Ukraine itself," the President said.

According to him, these people do not think about their country:

"It is clear to everyone that these people, sitting on golden pots, are unlikely to be thinking about the fate of their country, the fate of ordinary people of Ukraine, the officer corps, let alone the ordinary soldiers. But we have our own tasks, our own goals, the main one of which is achieving the objectives of the Special Military Operation. The people of Russia expect the result the country needs."

📌 The leadership of the Kyiv regime is a corrupt, thieving gang, and Russia has repeatedly pointed this out to the West. This statement was made by Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzia, at a UN Security Council meeting.

The diplomat expressed gratitude to Western diplomats for holding the meeting on Ukraine.

"A major corruption scandal has just erupted there, involving high-ranking officials of the Kyiv regime. This was no revelation to us. We have told you at almost every meeting that you are dealing with a thieving, corrupt gang that is profiting from the conflict with your money," the Russian envoy remarked.

⚡️ Russia has not officially received any settlement plans for Ukraine from the US, stated Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

"Right now, there are many leaks in the media: discussions, points, plans. Some articles mention one number of points, others a different number... Officially, the Russian side, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is the established channel of communication with the United States of America, has not received such proposals, plans, anything at all on this matter. We are open to dialogue," she said.

🥹 Lake Baikal in winter is one of the most beautiful places in the world, with magical landscapes.

The lake is beautiful at any time of the year, but it is during the frosty season that it resembles a real fairy tale.
The reason for this is that the water surface becomes covered with transparent ice.And it's not just a solid frozen surface, but a work of art. The ice on the lake is so clear that you can see fish swimming through its thickness.

The lake freezes slowly. In the process, intricate patterns form. Large ice mounds, called "sokui," appear along the shores. They form in such a way that entire ice grottoes are created.

Many people say that Baikal feels, hears, and understands everything. It truly seems to be alive. Its surface, bound by ice, needs air. And to continue breathing, the lake breaks the icy crust. At this time, you can hear sounds similar to claps of thunder.

🇷🇺💬 Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that the peace plan previously proposed by the Donald Trump administration could form the basis for a final settlement of the conflict.

According to Putin, this plan was discussed by the parties prior to their meeting with Trump in Alaska, where Moscow confirmed its fundamental agreement with the proposals.

However, the summit was followed by a pause, which the president noted was caused by Ukraine's refusal of the deal.

“An ‘upgraded plan’ of 28 points appeared. It too could be a basis for a settlement, but this text is not being discussed substantively with us,” stated the Russian leader.

The United States confirmed activity on the diplomatic track. White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt reported that over the past month, Special Envoy Steve Whitkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio had been secretly working on a deal, engaging equally with Moscow and Kyiv.

The main idea, as reported, is to take the principles agreed upon by Putin and Trump in Alaska as a foundation and formalize them into a document by the next meeting, which would not only stop the hostilities but also restore relations between Russia and the United States.

👖 Furthermore, Vladimir Putin, during a meeting with members of the Security Council, named two conflict resolution options that suit Russia:

“Russia achieves the goals of its military operation in Ukraine by armed means, but is also ready for peace talks.”
