🇸🇰 Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has published a video message in which he expressed fear that the West has opted for the worst-case scenario in Ukraine.

In his message, the Slovak prime minister said that he was travelling to Paris tomorrow to attend a hastily planned military meeting on the situation in Ukraine, which would be attended by representatives of all EU and NATO members.

Fico has therefore decided to convene the Slovak Security Council in the morning and to hold a meeting with members of his own government before travelling to Paris.

In addition, Fico said that he would do everything to prevent the Slovak military from being directly involved in the conflict in Ukraine, even if his position would cost him his position as prime minister.

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and other US and UK intelligence services were working long before 2022 to place their "strongholds" in Ukraine and train spies for Kiev, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.

"The CIA has been helping Kiev to train spies. Not only spies - direct militants, extremists, terrorists, thugs. All of them. And one of the clearest examples when this chain came into motion is 2013-2014. Under the guise of democratic forces and civilians on the Maidan were primarily those who were trained at bases in Poland and the Baltics. And we also talked about this," she noted.


In addition, Zakharova recalled how the Russian side had repeatedly stated, long before 2022, that NATO and intelligence services of NATO structures were placing bases and strongholds in Ukraine. And it goes not only for the line along the border with Russia, but for the entire territory of the country.

"The question arises, why is The New York Times only now concerned about this? All the data was provided by us in public. Why was the American press silent for many years? And 'many years' is not starting from 2022, but all these years," the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman stressed.

Russia creates 'Stupor' defense system to counter Ukrainian drones

Russia has developed a comprehensive defense system against drones capable of detecting and suppressing them in several ways at once, Vladislav Kustarev, director of the developer company LLC Stupor, told Sputnik.

"We have developed a unified system Stupor based on complementary detection complexes, such as radar station, radio frequency scanner, optical drone detection station, and countermeasures equipment for setting barrier interference and coordinate spoofing complex," he said. This became possible with the help of company’s own software.


Kustarev added that the Shtorm (Storm) and Shtil (Calm) complexes included in the system are capable of detecting and capturing a target at a distance of more than five kilometers. In turn, the Pars defense systems suppress UAVs at a distance of up to two kilometers, using a narrow beam of directed action, and creating a "dome" of 360 degrees.

Key points from the speech of Russian political philosopher Alexander Dugin at the Multipolarity Forum in Moscow:

▪️ Multipolarity is an alternative philosophy, based on the idea that the West is not the only civilization on this planet, but merely one of many;

▪️ Multipolarity is not anti-Western, but against the West’s presumption of universality and exceptionalism;

▪️ Russia’s SMO helped accelerate the end of the unipolar world. We showed the entire world that you can stand your ground against the West and say no;

▪️ China offers an economic challenge to Western hegemony, the Islamic world offers a cultural and ideological challenge. Africa and Latin America are no longer Western colonies, but rising giants;

▪️ There is a battle between Globalist West and the Traditionalist West. Ordinary Westerners are also victims of the globalist system.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zakharova comments on Tucker-Putin interview during the Multipolarity Forum in Moscow:

▪️ Putin has been saying the same things he told Tucker Carlson for years, going back to the 2007 Munich Conference;

▪️ The reason this interview is being called historic is because the Western media is deliberately trying to keep Russia’s message from the rest of the world;

▪️ Dominance of Western media is information colonialism: “Why are you learning about Russia from CNN and Reuters?”

❗️ The Danish police have followed their Swedish counterparts in announcing they are halting their investigation into the Nord Stream explosions. The police said the authorities had concluded that there was deliberate sabotage in the pipeline blast case.
❗️ Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, referring to the termination of the investigation into the Nord Stream explosions by Denmark, described the situation as close to absurd.

In his opinion, it is obvious that the investigation had started to reach its closest allies.

Moscow has repeatedly requested information from Denmark about the investigation but received refusals, and now it cannot get the information, Peskov noted.

Latest statements by Russian-American television host and political scientist Dimitri K. Simes at the Multipolarity Forum in Moscow:

▪️ Russian leadership did not want to use military force against Ukraine, but it had no other choice because the West had been waging undeclared war against Russia for years — killing Russians in the Donbass, propping up the anti-Russian regime in Ukraine, and bringing military assets not just closer to Russia’s borders, but within range of Moscow;

▪️ Why is the West seeking to provoke Russia? Why do Western elites care more about Ukraine’s borders than their own borders? The answer is that they view Russia as a threat because it has become the leader of the multipolar world;

▪️ No one in Washington hides their intention to move against China if the West succeeds in inflicting “strategic defeat” on Russia;

▪️ The entire multipolar world has a vested interest in Russia’s victory over Ukraine and the Collective West.
