🗣 EU wants to REVIVE NAZISM by banning officials from visiting Russia on May 9 - Lavrov

"There are no words which are able to characterize this phenomenon. I am not being ironic now. It is incomprehensible how openly the EU wants to revive the European ideology of Nazism," Lavrov told Russian journalist Pavel Zarubin in an interview out on Sunday.


Russia will no longer put up with it and will make every effort to ensure that this ideology is destroyed and unable to "raise its head" and that Europe returns to its values, the minister stressed.

📹 Why does the US eye exit from Ukraine peace talks?

Сoercive diplomacy сould be “the underlying reason,” Greg Simons, professor of Journalism at Daffodil International University, told Sputnik.

“The facade of diplomacy about coercing is to get their way because Trump and the Trump administration have other things to attend to geopolitically. And at this stage, Ukraine is an impediment to those geopolitical strategies and priorities,” Simons stressed.


Trump remains on the pragmatic side as he seeks to continue global hegemony, “but not at any cost.” He knows that Ukraine is “a liability” rather than “an investment” any longer, the expert argued.

🟠On the eve of Easter, military chefs and bakers of the Vostok Group prepared Easter cakes in two shifts to provide festive sets for all units, using family recipes passed down through generations. 

◼️More than 200 Easter cakes for local residents were blessed at the previously destroyed Church of Equal-to-the-Apostles Mary Magdalene in Avdeevka, DPR, according to Father Andrei Karpets, the head priest of the church.
