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.

"This year marks the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Russia and China. We have approached this significant anniversary with a brand new relationship. We view each other as priority partners," Russia’s top diplomat said. More than 90% of mutual settlements in bilateral trade is currently made in the ruble and the yuan, he added.

"China has confidently held the position of our leading trade partner for over 10 years now, while Russia moved up to fourth position in the list of China’s foreign trade counterparties last year," he added.

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."

Hungary expects oil supplies via Belarus to continue — foreign minister

"Secure oil deliveries to Hungary would not be possible without the Druzhba oil pipeline," Peter Szijjarto said.

Belarus is playing an important role in supporting Hungary’s energy security because 80% of its oil imports are coming via the Belarusian territory, Szijjarto noted. Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic receive Russian oil over the southern branch of the Druzhba oil pipeline. "Last year, 4.5 mln metric tons of oil came to Hungary by this route, and as much as almost 2 mln metric tons this year," the Hungarian foreign minister said.

"There is no another oil pipeline in Hungary, where it will be possible to transport a similar quantity of oil, he noted. "Since Croatia increased the transit fee and not the capacity of its pipeline, we now depend on transit via Belarus," the minister noted, meaning the Adria oil pipeline that does not have such throughput capacity as the Druzhba pipeline has.

"Belgorod, 45 miles from Kharkov, has practically no civilians and is full of military targets" says Matthew Miller.

Having been personally to assess the situation there just a couple of weeks ago, I can state with certainty that Miller's words are demonstrably false and disagree in the strongest terms, as do the civilian residents of Belgorod.

Alleged Ukrainian attacks on Russian nuclear radars unnerving US

Kiev has allegedly attempted to damage Russian radar stations designed to detect ICBMs.

Reports that Ukraine has attacked Russia’s early ballistic missile warning stations are unnerving the country’s American backers, according to the Washington Post on Wednesday.

Last week, Ukrainian sources claimed that two operations had been carried out against Russian long-range facilities designed to detect intercontinental ballistic missile launches. The Russian Defense Ministry did not comment on the claim. Footage shared online suggests that at least one of the attacks caused damage.

In a statement on Saturday, Senator Dmitry Rogozin, who previously headed up the Russian space agency Roscosmos, said Moscow should hold the US responsible for these attacks if they were carried out by Ukraine. Washington “has hired a reckless bandit, who is trying to damage a key element of our system of strategic nuclear forces combat control."

Mobile modular shelters may appear in Russia to protect the population from all types of weapons, including nuclear weapons.

Scientists from the All-Russian Research Institute of Civil Defense and Emergency Situations previously developed a mobile shelter of the modular type "KUB-M" (pictured). It can protect not only from the light radiation of a nuclear explosion, but also from radioactive contamination

NATO weapons to be hit in any country from where Russia may be attacked — Medvedev

The senior Russian official added that Moscow proceeded from the fact that all long-range weapons supplied to Ukraine were already "directly operated by servicemen from NATO countries".

NATO countries that have approved strikes with their weapons on Russian territory should be aware that their equipment and specialists will be destroyed not only in Ukraine, but also at any point from where Russian territory is attacked, the Russian Security Council’s Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said on his Telegram channel, noting that the participation of NATO specialists could be seen as a casus belli.

"All their military equipment and specialists fighting against us will be destroyed both on the territory of former Ukraine and on the territory of other countries, should strikes be carried out from there against Russian territory," Medvedev warned.
