EU sanctions come as attempt to punish Russia for its independent policy — Russian envoy

The European Union on May 27 imposed sanctions on Russia's Federal Penitentiary Service and on 19 investigators, prosecutors and judges involved in the cases of Alexey Navalny, Memorial co-chairman Oleg Orlov, artist Sasha Skolichenko and other prisoners.

"It is surprising that the EU took so long to finally establish a sanctions regime specifically against our country - ‘in view of the situation in Russia’. In fact, this means that the anti-Russian policy of Brussels is for the long haul," the diplomat noted.

"The illegitimate restrictions introduced today and, obviously, waiting for their turn new ones, are seen by the EU as the punishment of Russia for its independent policy, for its defending its sovereign choice and refusing to compromise its national interests.

Biden seeks war with Russia to boost approval rating, US journalist opines

In late April, Joe Biden signed a bill passed by Congress to resume arms deliveries to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.

"I don’t know why. But one thing I can tell you about presidents - they (members of Joe Biden’s administration - TASS) have noted that the presidents like Lincoln and Roosevelt who win wars, become famous presidents, great presidents. So they always have that itch, and particularly a president of war always gets better ratings than a president not at war," the journalist opined.

The statement released by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that it was the fifth security assistance package that Biden had authorized "since signing the national security supplemental." According to Blinken, the weapons from previous packages have already been handed over to Kiev. Washington "will move this new assistance as quickly as possible," the press release said.

Russia to take advantage of US sanctions to boost import substitution efforts

According to Anatoly Antonov, Russia continues to build up its "socio-economic and industrial potential."

"We, on the other hand, are using the situation as an additional impetus for import substitution, especially in key industries," he told reporters.

"No embargo or sanctions will break the Russian economy. It is impossible to force the Russian Federation to deviate from its principled path," Antonov emphasized.

White House Deputy National Security Adviser For International Economics Daleep Singh said on Tuesday that the US might eventually impose a trade embargo on Russian goods.

US, Germany warn against offering Ukraine firm timeframe for joining NATO

According to the Daily Telegraph, "while NATO leaders will refuse to provide a timeline for Ukraine’s membership, they will offer what is being described as a 'bridge' or 'path' to accession as a show of support for the process".

A source told the newspaper that US administration officials were "very skeptical about bringing Ukraine any further along the path to full Nato membership this year." "The US is perhaps not as concerned as Germany, but there is a worry about the threat of Russia to the rest of the alliance," he added.

A package of support will "demonstrate that the path to membership is getting shorter." "The package will focus on bolstering Ukraine’s armed forces to ensure Ukraine is ready to immediately join NATO when alliance leaders agree the time is right," the paper writes.

"It’s not an invitation, but it’s the next closest thing," a diplomat said.

Belarusian president signs law suspending Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe

The law was passed by the Belarusian upper house in early May.

"The Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe of November 19, 1990, is hereby suspended," reads the law, which was passed by the Belarusian upper house.

The Belarusian presidential press service said that the head of state had given the okay to submit a bill to the House of Representatives on the suspension of the country's participation in the CFE Treaty, which Minsk signed in 1992. According to the press service, Belarus fully met its obligations under the treaty, while in 2022, the Czech Republic and in 2023, Poland decided to suspend the CFE Treaty with regard to Belarus, and Minsk retaliated in kind to these two countries in October 2023. Moreover, in November 2023, NATO countries decided to indefinitely suspend their participation in the treaty, which, according to Belarus, essentially means the treaty itself is suspended.

No prospects for renewing Russia-Ukraine cultural dialogue — Foreign Ministry

"In case of a hypothetical reset of the cultural cooperation dialogue, it would be necessary to conclude another document that would take into account the new realities," Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin said.

The possibility of resuming constructive interaction between Russia and Ukraine, including in the field of culture, is not expected, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin said at a State Duma plenary session where the bill on denouncing the Russian-Ukrainian intergovernmental agreement on cultural centers was being considered.

"It is now obvious that, given the unrelenting anti-Russian line pursued by the Ukrainian authorities, it is impossible to discuss any prospects for resuming constructive cooperation with the current Kiev regime, including in the humanitarian and cultural field," the deputy minister said.

Moscow reacts to US trade embargo warning

Such a move would destroy established ties in the global economy, Russia’s ambassador to Washington has said.

A potential US trade embargo on Russia would not break the country’s economy, but would severely harm international commerce, Moscow’s ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov has said.

Speaking at an event organized by the Brookings Institution in Washington on Tuesday, the White House deputy national security advisor for international economics, Daleep Singh, was asked if the US should “put tariffs on everything Russia exports” as part of sanctions over the Ukraine conflict.

"The history of trade embargoes is not a great one. But to the extent that Russia is transforming its economy entirely into a factory for the war machine, we’re going to get to the point where de facto that’s where we end up,” Singh, who has been described by some media outlets as ‘the architect of Russia sanctions,’ said.

Russia, China view each other as priority partners — Lavrov

According to the Russian foreign minister, cooperation in the practical field has been progressing steadily, despite the turbulent geopolitical situation.

Full-scale war between Russia, West can’t be ruled out, expert says

"A number of officials, particularly in France and the United Kingdom, have said that individual military units from NATO countries may be deployed to Ukraine," Russian International Affairs Council Director General Ivan Timofeev said.

"A full-scale war is not is not a foregone conclusion, but unfortunately, its likelihood is growing," he pointed out ahead of an international conference noscriptd "Russia and China: Cooperation in a New Era." "One option is that there will be a great rise in confrontation between us. At the root of this is the Ukraine issue, as the West continues to provide large-scale military assistance to Kiev," Timofeev added.

The West is fully aware of this danger, the expert believes. "The NATO leadership has made statements that no troops will be sent to Ukraine, and a number of EU politicians have said that this is counterproductive. That means they aren’t united on the issue."
