Publication of draft Russia-Ukraine peace treaty refutes West's claims about 'imperialist' goals of special operation - analyst
The Wall Street Journal's recent publication of the almost-agreed back in April 2022 Moscow-Kiev peace deal confirmed the main goal of the Russian special military operation, namely the demilitarization of Ukraine, not the seizure of new territories, Dmitry Evstafiev, political scientist and professor at HSE University, told Sputnik.
The publication also removes all questions and denies all misinformation that the Russian delegation allegedly agreed to discuss the status of Crimea during the 2022 peace talks with Kiev," Evstafiev said, adding that the issue was not even on the agenda at the time.
Overall, the document disproves the West's claims about Russia's "imperialist ambitions" regarding the special operation, the analyst said, recalling that "it was the West that forced Kiev to abandon the peace deal for good, fundamentally changing the nature of the conflict over Ukraine".

"Now it turns out that they were offended, but it was the choice of the West, which had been pursuing an absolutely imperialist - or I would say colonial - policy towards Russia, refusing any dialogue with Moscow," Evstafiev concluded.

Breakdown of the conversation between high-ranking German military officials about attacking the Crimean Bridge Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of RT and Rossiya Segodnya (Sputnik's parent media group), published the text of a conversation held between…
The German Ministry of Defence is alarmed that a large amount of information may have been leaked, and not just a published fragment of the negotiations between German officers about the attack on the Crimean bridge, reports Der Spiegel.
The publication notes that the question now is whether other negotiations of the German Air Force and other military departments could have been tapped.
It is reported that the intercepted conversation was conducted by Luftwaffe officers through open channels on the WebEx platform, which Spiegel says is "relatively easy to bug". In addition, the publication suggests that one of the participants in the conversation even connected to the conference via a mobile phone, while he was in Singapore.

According to Fyodor Kukin, a senior researcher at Russia's Museum of Contemporary History, the goal is to demonstrate that "NATO is essentially a criminal organization". The project, under the supervision of the museum, is structured as an exhibition, and Kukin explained to Sputnik that visitors will be taken through a meticulous examination of NATO's "long history of terror, war crimes and lies".
The World Youth Festival kicked off on 1 March in the Sirius Federal Territory in Russia's Krasnodar Region, with Sputnik serving as one of the event's official media partners.
