❗️ More key points of Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov’s briefing on violations of the Chemical Weapons Convention by the US and Ukraine:
▪️ Russia destroyed its chemical weapons stockpiles ahead of schedule in September 2017, under OPCW supervision. Conversely, the US completed the destruction of its stockpiles in 2023, postponing the deadline twice, but still retains toxic munitions.
▪️ Ukraine has used non-lethal chemical weapons against Russian troops, including banned substances like chloropicrin.
▪️ Additionally, Ukraine plans to deploy a “special chemical belt” using toxic chemicals such as hydrocyanic acid and ammonia.
▪️ NATO countries have supplied Ukraine with vast amounts of protective equipment, suggesting alarming intentions.
▪️ Despite evidence submitted by Russia to the OPCW, no action has been taken against the US and Ukraine.
▪️ Russia was recently “expelled” from the OPCW Executive Council and replaced with Ukraine, Poland, and Lithuania, signalling biased decision-making.
▪️ These violations undermine the convention's integrity and require international attention and action.
▪️ The 105th session of the OPCW Executive Council will convene on March 5-8, 2024, highlighting Russia's commitment to disarmament.

Spy Versus Spy: Chinese Intelligence Agency Slams CIA
The US Central Intelligence Agency, known for its long history of morally dubious activity, was criticized by Chinese officials in a post on the WeChat platform Sunday.
In a rare bilingual article China’s Ministry of State Security strongly criticized the CIA’s recent focus on China, responding to a missive from CIA director William Burns published in US media last month.
China’s Ministry of State Security said the CIA’s anti-China crusade represents “another typical case of hegemonic, domineering and bullying practices of the US.” Previously the agency has accused the CIA of promoting a “Cold War mindset” against the country.
Anti-China narratives have pervaded Western media in recent years as the country solidifies its status as the world’s largest economy by purchasing power parity.

🤡 Clown world: CNN’s Fareed Zakaria attempts to rationalize away the superiority of the Moscow metro
Zakara chides Tucker Carlson for praising the Moscow metro system, arguing that it doesn’t matter that Russians enjoy clean and safe public transportation because Joseph Stalin built some stations in the 1930s.
He then goes on to claim that Americans should be grateful for their decaying metro systems because they are “expressions of democracy.”

❗️US and UK mercenaries cope and seethe over Ukraine's total loss of Avdeyevka, Sputnik found
◾️UK mercenary in Ukraine Richard Woodruff, whom Sputnik had exposed before, took to his social media account to bemoan the Ukrainian loss of Avdeyevka, emphasizing that "our guys are figuring out how to get the hell out" (see photo 1);
◾️US ‘gun for hire’ Brian O'Leary, the leader of mercenary company "The Chosen" wrote several threads on X trying to explain away their problems, which led to the town's surrender to Russian army (photo 2);
◾️In the comments section, the US merc was grilled as to why Western arms supplies, namely Abrams tanks, failed to help and did not stay in Avdeyevka. It turned out that the Ukrainian units still do not have enough weapons to hold back the onslaught of Russian troops (photo 3);
◾️That said, O'Leary tried to justify himself to his followers as to why Avdeyevka, despite the "heroism" of The Chosen mercenaries, was liberated by Russians. "There was like a 1 in 1,000,000,000 chance odds of Ukraine successfully holding Avdeyevka,” he admitted (photos 4,5).
