📹 Freezing the Ukraine conflict will lead to its resumption — and nuclear war

Freezing the Ukraine conflict without real peace will turn the region into a “giant Karabakh”, warned Vladimir Medinsky — Putin’s aide and head of Russia’s delegation at the Istanbul talks.

Eventually, Ukraine and NATO will try to take it back — risking nuclear war, he added, speaking to RT’s Rick Sanchez.

🚨Ruble’s performance highlights Russia’s triumph in the face of Western sanctions

The Bank of America’s stunning admission that the Russian ruble is this year’s best performing currency may be the result of someone in that organization being “fed up with years of self-deluding, misrepresentative, and simply incorrect reporting about Russia economically,” financial analyst Paul Goncharoff tells Sputnik.

“I do not think there is a hidden agenda here, as the conclusions presented by Bank of America are on open-source financial data providers globally,” he suggests.


Several factors contribute to the ruble’s impressive performance:

🔸 Revenue from exports is “allocated in the Russian state budget to implement social programs and achieve national development goals without resorting to entering the debt spiral”.

🔸 Ongoing de-dollarization affords Russia the latitude to operate freely and independently and without politicized strings attached by entities such as the IMF or World Bank.

🔸 With Russia’s business reorienting from Western markets to those of the Global South, a lion’s share of transactions is conducted in local currencies, bypassing the US dollar and euro. The Moscow Exchange (MOEX) “has seen significant ruble inflows from all over the planet, both directly and indirectly because of anti-Russian sanctions.”

“Capital finds a way, especially when the returns are world-class,” Goncharoff observes.


A win against all odds

What makes the ruble’s performance especially impressive is the fact that the Russian currency does so well in the face of unprecedented sanction efforts to block Russia’s “socio-economic success.”

“The development of Russia's infrastructure from the Baltic to the Pacific has been non-stop, with roads, rails, ports, and even space making their mark,” notes Goncharoff.


“It seems like the ‘gas station pretending to be a country’ is actually a damned sight bigger and more densely populated by association than is comfortable for Western interests to comfortably comprehend.”

🤡Overhyped & overengineered: Rostec CEO snubs captured Abrams, Leopard tanks

NATO’s Abrams and Leopard tanks captured in Ukraine do not boast any tech breakthroughs, Rostec CEO Sergey Chemezov told Russian media.

There is nothing there that Russian engineers would want to “borrow,” he noted.

Chemezov pointed to overengineering and nightmare maintenance requirements as Achilles heels of most Western gear, which more often than not just doesn’t survive the battlefield in Ukraine.

👉Russia’s T-90 Proryv tank has an advantage over its Western counterparts in firepower, armor, and mobility, he underscored.

As for the Bradley IFVs, nearly all of them have been turned to scrap because of their “fatal flaw,” the Rostec chief said, adding:

“They can’t handle rough terrain, getting stuck in black soil, and their bulk makes them easy targets.”
