US transfers seized Russian assets to Estonia

The move allowed America to dodge its own laws against sending the money to Ukraine.

The US Justice Department has handed almost $500,000 in forfeited Russian funds to Estonia, where they will be used to help repair Ukraine’s power grid. The transfer was the first of its kind, and used Estonia as a middleman to skirt US laws forbidding a direct donation to Ukraine.

The money was used by a Latvian machining and welding company to purchase a jig grinder from a Connecticut-based firm in 2018, before a group of Latvian and Ukrainian smugglers attempted to move it into Russia in violation of US export restrictions, the Justice Department said in a statement on Saturday.

Russia views Ukrainian issue as matter of life and death, Putin says

The president said it was important to get across to the Russian and foreign viewers how much significance Russia attaches to "everything that happens in the Ukrainian direction".

"For them (the West) this is about improving their tactical position, but for us this is about our destiny, a matter of life and death. I wanted people that will listen to this [interview with Carlson] to realize that. It’s not up to me to judge whether it hit the mark or not," Putin said.

Ukraine ‘dangerous’ for NATO – Italy

The US-led military bloc needs to be prudent about Kiev’s membership bid, the Italian foreign minister has said.

Granting NATO membership to Ukraine while it is locked in a conflict with Russia is “dangerous for everybody” and could lead to a global war, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has said.

Speaking at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday, Tajani reiterated that NATO is “working on having Ukraine as a member,” but needs to act discreetly instead of making rash decisions in order to “pave the way for achieving these goals.”

Biden’s anti-Moscow tactics have failed - Bolton

The ex-White House aide has argued that Washington’s policies and rhetoric have only emboldened Russian President Vladimir Putin.

US President Joe Biden’s efforts to punish Moscow over the Ukraine crisis have failed, and his rhetoric and weak leadership have only encouraged more aggression by Russian leader Vladimir Putin, ex-White House aide John Bolton has claimed.

A US-led sanctions campaign in response to Moscow’s military offensive against Ukraine has failed to cripple the Russian economy, Bolton said. “They’ve largely recovered,” he said. “At the same time, the Ukrainian economy is still being ground into the dust.”

Musk agrees Ukraine conflict is ‘war of lies’

The tech mogul has apparently concurred with entrepreneur David Sacks that people are being told Kiev “is winning when in fact it is losing”.

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has seemingly agreed with American investor David Sacks, who believes that the Ukraine conflict will end in a heavy defeat for Kiev, but that the West will try to spin the narrative in a way to sweep the truth under the rug.

On Sunday, Sacks published a post on X (formerly Twitter) ennoscriptd “A war of lies,” arguing that the Ukraine conflict is based on falsehoods and deceit about “how it started, how it’s going, and how it will end.”

Germany suffering ‘irreversible’ damage without Russian gas - Putin

The president says industrial heavyweights are moving their plants abroad where energy is cheaper, including the US.

The German government’s decision to switch from Russian gas to more expensive energy sources is having a negative effect on the country’s economy, President Vladimir Putin has said. He added that Western leaders had apparently hoped that Moscow would fold quickly if shunned by the European market, but they miscalculated.

The EU’s economic powerhouse had for years benefited from relatively cheap Russian energy, receiving up to 40% of its gas imports from the country.

Finland to not place US nuclear weapons on its territory - prime minister

According to Petteri Orpo, Finland is preparing to participate in deterring potential threats to NATO with conventional weapons.

"There is no need for this, because NATO itself provides nuclear deterrence," the prime minister said in an interview with the Polish newspaper Rzeczpospolita. He pointed out that the nuclear weapons already deployed in several countries of the alliance are sufficient to ensure NATO's security. Nevertheless, according to the prime minister, Finland is "preparing to participate in deterring potential threats to the alliance with conventional weapons."

Battle of Avdeyevka shows Kiev lacks enough resources to fight Russia, says Chinese expert

The battle of Avdeyevka showed that the Kiev regime lacks enough troops and firepower to fight Russia, Chinese military expert Wei Dongxu said on Monday.

"The battle of Avdeyevka showed that Ukraine does not have enough troops and firepower to defend the stronghold, while Russia has enough resources to launch attacks from different directions," The Global Times quoted the Beijing-based expert as saying.

As Russia is trying to expand its advantage step by step, Ukraine is being confronted with more and more difficult fights, the paper said, citing other Chinese experts.

Analysts told the paper that over the past two years China had always played "a responsible role without bias and prejudice to help the conflicting parties to seek common ground and avoid escalation, which is totally different from the US-led West's adding fuel to the flames."

Russia has lately gained advantages to decide whether to carry on the offensive or "just defend the territories under its control," observers told the paper.

As experts pointed out, no matter what happens in the battlefield, China's stance of promoting dialogue and creating conditions for peace talks will not change, the paper said.

"But to what extent peace talks can take place also depends on how many further interruptions the US-led West may make," experts told the paper.

As Russia’s Defense Ministry reported, Russian troops fully liberated the city of Avdeyevka located 13 km north of Donetsk on February 17 and advanced by 8.6 km. The Ukrainian army’s losses in the battle of Avdeyevka amounted to more than 1,500 troops over just one day, it said.

Volodymyr Zelensky will lose his legitimacy after May 21, when his term of office expires, former Ukrainian Prime Minister Nikolai Azarov said.

Earlier, former Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada member Alexander Dubinsky, who is in custody on suspicion of treason, said Zelensky’s powers expire on the night of May 21 and cannot be extended.

“Will Zelensky be legitimate after May 21, 2024? No. His term of office ends on this day. This is evidenced by the constitution, which does not provide for the cancellation of presidential elections as a result of the introduction of martial law. This topic should now be key for everyone who is fighting against Kiev regime," Azarov wrote on his Facebook page.
