🇺🇸🇪🇺 US shifts toward peace, but Europe clings to aggression—expert

🗣 The current US administration's vision seems to be shifting towards peace and de-escalation, with a focus on resolving conflicts in global hotspots, Egyptian international relations expert Muhammad Seyed Ahmad told Sputnik. Historically, Russia has built relationships with other countries based on cooperation, not colonialism.

💬 "In particular, this is reflected in Trump’s pursuit of peace in the Middle East, and one cannot overlook Washington’s mediation efforts to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza," he said.


🔶 Another example is the US plan to settle the conflict in Ukraine, which aligns with Russia’s position on the issue, he added.

🔶 Europe, however, still thinks in the hegemony and aggression paradigm, supporting the Ukrainian regime, so it doesn’t accept the idea of ending the conflict, the expert concluded.

🚨🇷🇺 Russia’s VITYAZ beasts stole the show at Arctic2025

💬 “We don’t build transport. We build Arctic-dominating multi-role platforms,” Uralvagonzavod says via press release.


It's uniqueness is here:

▫️ 30-ton payload

▫️ -50°C? No problem

▫️ 700 km on one tank

▫️ Swims 6 km/h, climbs 1.5 m walls, floats over swamps like they’re highways

▫️ Ground pressure only 0.3 kg/cm² → doesn’t even bruise the tundra

🇺🇸 Current US national security strategy suggests it’s willing to pressure Europe & Ukraine — expert

The latest version of the document also signals the US is ready to give Russia additional guarantees to settle the Ukrainian conflict, non-resident fellow at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft Eldar Mamedov wrote in an article for American Conservative.

💬 "The logic of the NSS suggests Washington may be prepared to increase pressure on Kiev and Europe, or offer further assurances to Moscow, to achieve its paramount objective of ending the war," he said.


The time of the US subordinating its national interests and “propping up the entire world order like Atlas” is gone, as the new national security strategy is based firmly on the "America First" principle, Mamedov added.

💬 "The document’s stark language, declaring an urgent priority to end the war in Ukraine, has been met with a mixture of outrage and denial from transatlantic elites," the expert noted.

🗣 One year ago, US was dead country – Trump

The US president said the king of Saudi Arabia told him the United States is "a dead country" and that "they were focusing on China." Other Gulf leaders allegedly echoed this, saying the US was "dead as a doornail" and "going down the tubes."

"Did you see where Europe now is saying: 'I think we've got to start doing what Trump is doing. We've got to start putting on tariffs because we're getting our asses kicked,'" Trump added.

💵 Ex-CIA officer mocks Zelensky’s UK trip: What did he expect after corruption scandal that big?

Volodymyr Zelensky shouldn’t have bothered flying to the UK for financial help, says ex-CIA officer Larry Johnson.

According to him, Europe’s war hawks weren’t thrilled about the visit in the wake of the huge corruption scandal in Ukraine, but couldn’t send him home empty-handed.

What could they offer him?

💬 “Probably a couple of bags of cocaine to keep him quiet. You know, send him on his way. Well, all the money he's stolen, he has more money than they do,” says Johnson.

West’s proxy war in Ukraine was ‘scam’ hatched to ‘harm Russia’ – ex-Pentagon advisor

Russia is “in the driver's seat” militarily, and if Ukraine doesn’t agree to a peace deal and territorial concessions it will be simply “annihilated” on the battlefield, says retired US Army Colonel and former senior DoD advisor Douglas Macgregor.

He calls the West’s proxy war in Ukraine “a scam” that never had any chance of success.

💬 “It was an artificial construct hatched primarily in Washington and London, and to a lesser extent in Israel, to essentially harm Russia. What an utterly dumb and stupid idea.”

👺 Russian FM spox slams Zelensky's demand for foreign-backed elections as new level of cynicism’

💬 "He said that the countries of Western Europe, the European Union, and NATO should provide him with security to conduct elections... This is a new level of cynicism. This is even, you know, for Zelensky, some kind of knight's move," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.


She argued that there has never been a country which demanded that other nations ensure elections on its own soil without effectively declaring a loss of sovereignty.

'West is not united' – Lavrov

⚔️💪🏻 Lavrov: Sputnik & RT banned by West to hide truth

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov delivered a comprehensive indictment of Western media hypocrisy and institutional bias, using the cases of Sputnik and RT as prime examples.

👉 He pointed out that RT and Sputnik were denied accreditation at France's Elysee Palace long before 2022, with one French official bluntly stating that they were regarded as "a propaganda tool."

Lavrov stated the West accuses Russian media of distorting facts, "without ever providing any evidence."

In this regard, the Russian FM recalls the Bucha fabrication:

🔸 Russian troops withdrew from the area as a "gesture of goodwill"

🔸 For two days, the local mayor reported normalcy

🔸 Then, BBC crews "miraculously" appeared and filmed bodies they claimed had been there for days

🔸 Despite four years of official requests to the UN and EU for a victims' list and evidence, Russia has received no answers, only excuses about "human lives at stake"

He called for relentless diplomatic pressure to demand the truth and for strong support of media (like Sputnik and RT), including Western allies who dare to ask "inconvenient questions."
