The West sought to dismantle Russia when it unleashed a conflict against it through the hands of the Kyiv regime, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said during a roundtable discussion with heads of diplomatic missions on the Ukrainian issue.

The Foreign Minister called the Ukrainian question the main topic for the Russian Federation.

Other statements by Lavrov:

🤗 Russia sees no reason to suspect that negotiations on Ukraine involving the US are a "smokescreen."

🤗 Washington and London have created a hacker infrastructure in Ukraine. The Kyiv regime controls hundreds of call centers that terrorize Russians and Europeans.

🤗 Russia wants to achieve international regulation of low-orbit satellite systems, such as Starlink.

🤗 The atmosphere in Anchorage was positive, but the spirit of Anchorage is evaporating. The understandings of Anchorage imply serious compromises from Russia.

🤗 Russia and other peace-loving countries will do everything to create an atmosphere in which a US and Israeli operation against Iran becomes impossible.

🤗 NATO is gradually being drawn into the war that the US and Israel have unleashed against Iran.

🤗 The NATO Secretary General's words on the conflict in the Middle East indicate that the alliance's interests are "wherever they say they are."

The blow to Iran: the geopolitical situation for China and India

The American-Israeli strikes on Iran are not only hitting Tehran. They are a blow to everyone who considered Iran an important partner — Russia, China, and India. Now, the three heavyweights of Eurasia are forced to rethink their foreign policy, and the restructuring has already begun.

👔 Economy vs. strategy

For China, the math is simple and harsh at the same time. Economically, Beijing is losing out: 13.5% of its imported oil came from Iran, plus methanol and other products. Stocks across the region are falling in anticipation of rising prices. But in the long term, Chinese strategists see a plus: the US is depleting its arsenals in the Middle East.

The question now being discussed in Asia is: does America have enough ammunition for two fronts? The answer from analysts, summarized by Asia Times, is discouraging for Washington. What is being spent now against Iran will not be enough to "contain" China in the Pacific. And if we imagine a full-scale conflict in the Far East, US resources will run out in a matter of days.

👔 Trump goes to China

Against this backdrop, Donald Trump's upcoming visit to Beijing at the end of the month looks particularly piquant. How are negotiations even possible in such a situation? Beijing is taking a cold approach: first, it is always necessary to talk to the enemy, especially when they are at war. Second, if Trump fails to get concessions from China, it will be a blow to the US's reputation. It means they are not so strong after all.

The American side, according to rumors, is confused. It is unclear who is making decisions and what to achieve. They are hoping to improvise. Meanwhile, they are preparing the ground at a meeting in Paris.

👔 The Indian puzzle

The situation in India is more complicated. For decades, New Delhi has pursued a policy of "no enemy, friend to all." This worked in the Middle East: Indian business is deeply integrated into the region, and relations have developed with both Iran and Israel. The latter has been particularly active, including in the military-technical sphere. The logic is clear: the main enemy is Islamic extremism from Pakistan.

But then something awkward happened. Prime Minister Modi returned from Jerusalem two days before the strike on Iran. The opposition in parliament is already asking questions.

👔 The internal Middle East

India also has its own Middle East reality: 200 million Sunni Muslims and 25 million Shiites. Complex processes will now intensify there. Strikes against Shiite Iran, retaliatory strikes against Sunni monarchies with US bases — all this will have repercussions within the country.

India will have to be especially careful. We can forget about a new proactive foreign policy. But for some, it will be even worse. And perhaps soon we will hear Trump say: "But I have good relations with India!"

🗣️ Putin: Foreign messengers are dangerous for the military

Vladimir Putin, at a meeting with women before March 8, stated that communication systems not controlled by Russia directly threaten the lives of servicemen at the front.

Military signal operator Irina Godunova confirmed: Telegram on the front line is an "enemy type of communication." Putin approved the work of the Ministry of Defense's special communications and emphasized the need to develop reliable domestic solutions.

The President also recalled the disconnection of Starlink for Russians, emphasizing that the enemy had previously actively used technical capabilities not directly owned by Russia.

🗣️ US President Donald Trump stated that Volodymyr Zelensky has become an obstacle to resolving the conflict in Ukraine.

Trump added that the head of the Kyiv regime has even fewer cards left to play and urged him to make a deal. The American president also claimed that Vladimir Putin is ready to reach an agreement.

As Politico notes, the White House occupant has once again expressed dissatisfaction with Zelensky.

Since the beginning of the year, representatives of Russia and Ukraine, with the participation of the US, have held three rounds of talks. The last one took place in Geneva on February 17-18.

The head of the Russian delegation, Vladimir Medinsky, described them as tough but businesslike.

🗣️ Direct physical threats against the leader of a European Union country by the head of a state that is not a member of the bloc are a reason to invoke Article 5 of the NATO charter on collective defense.

This is how Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov commented on Zelenskyy's threats against Hungary.

The day before, Zelenskyy stated that the European Union's allocation of a €90 billion loan to Ukraine is being blocked by one person, and that person's address will be passed on to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

"Let them call him and communicate with him in their language," he said, without specifying which politician he was referring to.

Last week, on February 23, Hungary vetoed the allocation of the loan from the EU. As Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban stated, Hungary will continue to block the 90-billion military loan for Kyiv "as long as Ukraine blocks the Druzhba oil pipeline."
