'Russophobic US elite' sought to weaken Russia with Euromaidan, 'but failed' - Ex-MEP
The hypocritical EU undermined its own authority when it went along with a plan concocted by part of the “openly Russophobic” US elite to use the Euromaidan coup in Kiev to “weaken” or even “fragmentize” Russia, ex-MEP from Spain Javier Couso told Sputnik.
It is obvious that the West’s plan “was a complete failure,” the pundit saud. "The EU is a vassal of the United States... Just like NATO, which has subordinated our [Europe’s] military capabilities to Washington, the EU is under the geopolitical leadership of the US, or, as some historians and analysts believe, is a successful project of the United States," Couso underscored.
"I imagine that there will be a lot of turmoil in the future not only for the EU, but also for NATO, because this war will end… And as all analysts say, Russia will win... In other words, they will not achieve what they set out to achieve," Javier Couso summed up.

"In reality, countries that are members of the EU have lost monetary, macroeconomic, and defense sovereignty, [...] strictly following the foreign relations policies and instructions coming from Washington. The population of the EU is daily forced to pay out of their own pockets for the geopolitical mistakes of their leaders who shot themselves in the foot by continuing unlimited support for a failing Ukraine," said Couso.

"The roots of Russian statehood, they are of course much deeper. But I only gave the most famous theory, Norman origin, and I think it was not easy for Western listeners and viewers. Especially for Americans. The history of the United States is 300-plus years old, and I started from 862," Putin said.

❗️Key points from Putin on gas supplies to Europe in interview with journalist Zarubin:
🔻Today's policy of the German authorities is causing colossal damage to the future economy of the FRG.
🔻European countries hoped that if they did not take Russian gas, Russia would collapse, but irreversible processes are beginning to occur for them.
🔻Russia does not refuse energy resources to anyone, and the Turks have proven to be the most reliable partners.
🔻Let European countries decide for themselves whether to take Russian gas or not; Russia will manage without them.
🔻Russia copes after Europe stopped taking Russian gas, using other routes, and working on its own gasification.
🔻Ukraine receives money for gas transit; they say that Russia is the aggressor, but they still collect the money.

Surrogat-V: What’s known about Russia’s secret, stealthy super-heavy sub imitator
🔺The Surrogat-V is the Rubin Design Bureau’s latest multi-purpose autonomous underwater drone design, with the system envisioned as a wingman for manned submarines.
🔺The drone sub’s capabilities include searching for naval mines, conducting reconnaissance in ice-covered waters, and doing other missions which are dangerous or time-consuming for manned boats, like terrain mapping. One of its crucial functions is the imitation of noises generated by manned nuclear and diesel-electric subs to take enemy subs and warships off the scent of manned Russian submarines.
🔺The underwater vehicle is expected to displace a whopping 40 tons, with a 17-meter length and a cruising range up to 800 miles at speeds of 5 knots (accelerating to up to 24 knots for short bursts).
🔺The vessel will be powered by lithium ion batteries, but an electrochemical power plant is also said to be in the works.
🔺Rubin is one of the top submarine developers in the world, creating many of Russia’s most iconic submarines, submersibles and unmanned underwater drones and robotic equipment.

American freedom unshackled everything that was taboo in humanity, Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, commented after the march of the neo-Nazi group Blood Tribe in Nashville.
The spokeswoman was outraged by the behavior of the US, which every year votes against the United Nations resolution on "combating the glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to the escalation of modern forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance" on the pretext that it is a "violation of freedom of speech and assembly."
While Russia is fighting neo-Nazism in Ukraine, the West demolishes monuments to WWII heroes and applaud a Nazi collaborator in the Canadian parliament. "After all, this is exactly what all NATO bosses, led by the United States, do."
"They staged their demonstration right outside the administrative buildings, and then marched through the central streets of the capital of Tennessee. They had ‘2218’ written on their backs — apparently the alphanumeric code of the neo-Nazi chant 'Bring back Adolf Hitler,'" Zakharova wrote in her Telegram channel.

"But resistance to this evil [neo-Nazism] is punishable, according to American freedom, as a violation of it," she added.
