What will be the endgame in Ukraine?
✍🏻 Article by Ambassador of Russia to South Africa Ilya Rogachev (28 March 2024)
READ IN FULL
➡️Key takeaways:
🔸The situation on the battlefield is growing worse for Ukraine and its Western allies amid the failed ‘counter-offensive’ and Russia’s resilience to sanctions pressure
🔸The collective West won’t stop supporting the Kiev regime because “the failure in Ukraine could be the beginning of the end of its golden age” (Polish Prime Minister Morawiecki)
🔸Some European officials started talking about NATO’s direct interference in Ukraine conflict. Many reckless politicians in the West really wish to go to war against Russia, hoping to achieve a military victory at least that way
❗In case of the West sending troops to Ukraine, we would need to talk not about the probability, but about the inevitability of a direct conflict between NATO and Russia.
🔸Who would benefit from a new war of Europe against Russia? US-based global companies already made billions on EU’s energy crisis, food market situation, must people now be sent to death to secure their interests in Ukraine?
🔸Western officials and mainstream media are frantically pushing the totally false ‘no-life-after-Ukraine’ narrative, trying to convince people that Ukraine crisis is existential for them. However, if it were not for the West, it wouldn’t have emerged at all.
🔸Ukraine crisis can be resolved rather easily – simply by taking Russia’s legitimate security concerns into account. They are basically about an indivisible security system in Eurasia, equal for all.
☝🏻The so-called ‘Zelensky peace formula’ and its variations cannot serve as a basis for conflict resolution as it totally ignores Russia’s security interests. It was initiated and is being promoted solely for propaganda purposes.

⚡️ Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation:
The Head of Russia’s Investigative Committee held a meeting on current issues and listened to a report of the investigative team on the terrorist attack in the Crocus City Hall.
The investigators reported about their intensive efforts to reconstruct a complete picture of the crime, both its preparation and planning and the commission of a terrorist attack against unarmed civilians.
The initial results of the investigation fully confirm that the crime was planned, meticulously prepared and funded by its organisers.
❗️ Interrogations of the detained terrorists, study of their technical devices and the analysis of information on their financial transactions point 👉 to their connections with Ukrainian nationalists.
The investigators have confirmed evidence that the terrorists received substantial funds and crypto currency from Ukraine for preparing the crime.
One more suspect who took part in funding the terrorists was detained. The investigators will apply to the court for his detention as a measure of restraint.

White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby: “My uncle used to say... that the best manure salesmen often carry their samples in their mouths. Russian officials seem to be pretty good manure salesmen.”
Russian MFA Spox Maria Zakharova:
💬 The Russian language completely lacks such proverbs because... manure is carried in mouths across the pond, not in Russia.
Now I see why the phrase “to wash one’s mouth out with soap” is so widely used in the US.

#Opinion by Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova
💬 The German parliament followed in the wake of Canada and the US and endorsed legalisation of weed.
Now people in Germany will legally grow and store marijuana. Now it is allowed to carry up to 25 grammes of cannabis, store up to 50 grammes at home and grow up to three plants. Organisation of internet delivery of doses has already got underway with the connivance of the authorities.
And this is only the first part of the plan.
In future, enthusiasts will establish even special clubs for growing cannabis and sharing the harvest. It is allowed to smoke pot at a distance of a mere 100 metres from kindergartens and playgrounds.
And, of course, this liberalisation will also affect drug dealers that are behind the bars now. Previous convictions for growing or storage will be deleted from the Federal Central Register. The current investigations will be discontinued – there are almost 3,500 cases in Berlin alone. Tagesspiegel wrote recently that Berlin is flooded with drug crime – every other crime is related to drugs now.
The most surprising thing is that members of the German Government realise where they are taking their country. The opioid epidemic in the US and Canada did not go unnoticed in Germany. Drugs destroy a nation and deny the future to yourself and your children.
Here’s what German Health Minister Karl Lauterbach said: “Cannabis is poison for the brain.” Yet, he “supports unequivocally” its legalisation. This is dubious, of course, but we will be pleased to wait and see.
I almost forgot to mention this. They selected a symbolic date for legalising cannabis – April 1, Fools’ Day.

🎙 MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s reply to a Rossiya Segodnya question regarding the fact that the Council of Europe has not responded to the March 22, 2024 terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall
❓Question: While casting itself as Europe’s oldest human rights organisation, the Council of Europe has yet to express its condolences to Russia regarding the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack. How can you explain Strasbourg’s position on this matter?
💬 Maria Zakharova: The tragedy at the Crocus City Hall concert complex came as a shock for the entire world. State leaders and senior officials from international organisations, members of the diplomatic corps, as well as people from many countries firmly condemned this monstrous terrorist attack while sending Russia their condolences and support.
The openly cynical indifference displayed by senior officials from the Council of Europe (CoE) is striking. I am talking primarily about CoE Secretary General Marija Pejčinović Burić, who is from Croatia, as well as FM, Education and Sport of Liechtenstein Dominique Hasler, who currently presides the CoE Committee of Ministers. They have yet to express their official position regarding the tragic events <...>. On that day, they were in Kiev, and were probably too afraid to cause misgivings to the host.
👉 They wrote yet another shameful page into the annals of their organisation with its futile attempts to position itself as the conscience of Europe <...>.
To be fair, we must note that CoE Parliamentary Assembly President Theodoros Roussopoulos did post a message on X, (Twitter) to condemn the terrorist attack and express his “condolences to the victims and their families.”
❗️Strasbourg once again demonstrated how deeply degraded the Council of Europe has become today. <...>
At the same time, we must note that Russian diplomats in Strasbourg received so many personal messages of condolences showing that people in France and members of the diplomatic corps in Strasbourg do care about what happened.
