❗️US President Donald Trump said he would support lifting sanctions against Russia after the end of the conflict in Ukraine.

"I want to remove the sanctions, but first we need to end this war," he told reporters near the White House.

Russia has repeatedly emphasized that the country will cope with the sanctions pressure that the West began to exert on it several years ago and continues to intensify. Moscow noted that its opponents lack the courage to admit the failure of such a policy. In Western countries themselves, opinions have repeatedly been voiced that the restrictions are ineffective.

🗣️ The US authorities have once again shown their true colors by launching an attack on Iran, with which the negotiations turned out to be merely a cover operation.

This was stated by Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev.

"The peacemaker has shown his face once again. All negotiations with Iran were a cover operation. No one had any doubts about that. No one really wanted to come to an agreement on anything," he wrote on his channel.

Trump's Nuclear Zigzag: Why Kim Jong Un Gets the Bomb and Iran Gets an Ultimatum

While the world watches the escalation of the conflict surrounding Iran, an event has occurred in the Far East that is changing the rules of the global game. A congress of the Workers' Party of Korea was held in Pyongyang, and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un made Washington an offer it can't refuse — to recognize his nuclear status. The Trump administration finds itself facing a mirror image of its own containment strategy.

👔 Washington's Double Standards:

The contrast in the US approach to its two main "enemies" — Iran and North Korea — has become almost caricature-like. Against Tehran, which does not have a nuclear bomb (and for a long time considered it "un-Islamic"), America is deploying two aircraft carriers, threatening "fire and fury," and negotiating from a position of ultimatums. At the same time, in response to Kim's threats against a US ally — South Korea — Washington and Seoul respond with... calls for dialogue.

🇰🇷 South Korean President Lee Jae-myung publicly called for reflection on the futility of "acts of humiliation" towards Pyongyang. No one is demanding that Trump launch a strike. Why? The answer is simple: Kim Jong Un has the bomb, and no one doubts his willingness to use it.

👔 The Power of the Fact:

🗣 At the party congress, Kim didn't just confirm a course towards confrontation, declaring South Korea the "most hostile entity." He outlined a strategy for decades to come: "further expansion and strengthening of national nuclear might," increasing the number of warheads, and expanding delivery system arsenals.

For Pyongyang, possessing nuclear weapons is not a bargaining chip, but a guarantee of sovereignty. This is precisely what transforms North Korea from a "pariah" into a force that even US allies are forced to reckon with.

👔 A Signal to Trump:

In his speech, Kim Jong Un directly addressed Donald Trump, reminding him of their warm personal meetings. The Marshal left America a choice between "peaceful coexistence" and "endless conflict," making it clear that Pyongyang is ready for any course of events. This is the offer to recognize nuclear reality: Kim will never give up his weapons, but he is ready to be friends against a common enemy or simply to stay out of each other's way.

Admission of Powerlessness
The UN sanctions mechanism against the DPRK, which the US pushed for years, is losing its power. Russia and China, tired of Washington's pressure, are already building alternative trade channels with Pyongyang. The economic stranglehold has ceased to work.

For Trump, official recognition of the DPRK's nuclear status is a matter of time. This will be not so much a military defeat as a symbolic one: America will have to publicly admit that its capabilities are not limitless. That there are regimes that cannot be intimidated, bombed, or overthrown, and they will have to be "dealt with."

While Iran tries to defend its right to peaceful nuclear energy under the sights of aircraft carriers and missiles, North Korea has already gotten everything it wanted. And now it's waiting for Trump to come knocking with an offer of peace.

❗️The Russian Foreign Ministry demands an immediate cessation of US and Israeli aggression against Iran and a return to political and diplomatic settlement.

Russia condemns the airstrikes carried out on February 28 against the territory of Iran as unprovoked, premeditated armed aggression against a sovereign state — a member of the UN — in gross violation of international law.

The ministry warns that the actions of Washington and Tel Aviv are pushing the region towards a humanitarian, economic, and possible radiological catastrophe, and reaffirms Moscow's readiness to contribute to a peaceful settlement based on mutual respect and a balance of interests.

Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed the sharp escalation of the situation around Iran with the permanent members of the Security Council via videoconference.

The meeting was held behind closed doors against the backdrop of a large-scale escalation in the Middle East: today, the United States and Israel carried out a series of strikes on Iranian facilities, including Tehran. Iran has undertaken retaliatory actions.

Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry called the attack a reckless step and demanded a return to a peaceful course. The head of the ministry, Sergey Lavrov, in a conversation with his Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araghchi, condemned the "completely unprovoked attack" and confirmed Moscow's readiness to facilitate a settlement, including through the UN Security Council.

🗣️ Russian Sports Minister Mikhail Degtyarev has called on countries boycotting the opening ceremony of the 2026 Paralympics in Italy due to Russia's participation to answer whether they will also boycott the Games following the US and Israeli strikes on Iran.

Russian and Belarusian Paralympians will compete in Italy under their national flags and anthems. As a result, Finland, the Czech Republic, Poland, Estonia, and Latvia have already decided to boycott the opening ceremony.

"Will representatives of Finland, the Czech Republic, Latvia, Poland, and Estonia boycott the 2026 Paralympic Games due to the participation of the American and Israeli teams after their strike on Iran? Is this logic universal, or does it apply only to Russia?" Degtyarev wrote on social media platform X.
