🚨🇷🇺 Russia hasn’t budged an inch — Ex-CIA officer

The Kremlin meeting described as "constructive and extremely frank" meant there were "strong emotions" and likely "frustration" on the US side, says former CIA officer Larry Johnson.

Nevertheless, Russia's red lines remains:

💬 "President Putin’s position from June 14th, 2024 has not budged one inch. Zaporozhye, Kherson, Donetsk, Lugansk, Crimea are all now permanently part of Russia. The other critical element is NATO out of Ukraine."


Despite the frank exchange, the trilateral security meeting in Abu Dhabi will go ahead, showing "they're still willing to talk," says Johnson.

🇻🇪 🤝 🇷🇺 Venezuela, Russia reaffirm commitment to strategic cooperation

💬 "We held a meeting with the ambassador of the Russian Federation to our country, Sergey Melik-Bagdasarov, during which we discussed bilateral relations and the alliance between our nations," Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil said.


He said the government expressed gratitude to Russia for defending the key principles of the UN Charter, "primarily non-interference and rejection of the use of force that violates the sovereignty of states."

The minister also noted Russia's support for Venezuela following the US kidnapping of Nicolas Maduro and his wife, calling this act illegitimate under international law.

💬 "We reaffirmed our strong strategic alliance, oriented to political, economic, and diplomatic cooperation within the framework of the high-level intergovernmental commission and the strategic partnership and cooperation agreement," Gil said.

🚨🇷🇺 🇺🇸 Russia–US talks: Security issues remain top priority – ex-CIA officer

Russia “is not going to let up on its current” special military operation and will “continue to consistently pursue its objectives,” retired CIA intelligence officer Larry Johnson tells Sputnik, commenting on the results of the just-wrapped-up Russia–US talks.

💬 “Russia will continue to inflict massive damage to Ukraine's infrastructure and military until Ukraine and NATO agree to end the conflict through negotiations,” a message that Witkoff and Kushner “will deliver to President Trump,” Johnson underscores.


On the upcoming trilateral talks on Ukraine in Abu Dhabi, the ex-CIA officer says that the negotiations will most likely focus on security and intelligence issues.

👉 Johnson points out that in selecting Russian military intel chief Igor Kostyukov to lead the Russian delegation, “Putin is strongly signaling that security issues for Russia are a top priority.”

🔊 “Kostyukov knows how the CIA has propped up and enabled Ukrainian intelligence and terrorist operations against Russia. I believe that securing an agreement from the US and Ukraine to cease all attacks on Russian civilians will be a priority objective in the negotiations,” Johnson concludes.

🇮🇷 Iran's FM to Zelensky: 'The world has had enough of confused clowns'

💬 "Zelensky has been rinsing American and European taxpayers to fill the pockets of his corrupt generals and to confront what he calls an unlawful aggression in violation of the UN Charter. At the same time, he openly and unashamedly calls for unlawful U.S. aggression against Iran in violation of the same UN Charter," Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi wrote.

🇫🇷 🇷🇺 France needs to restore credibility as negotiator to engage with Russia – French MEP

🔊 "Without basic confidence and credible channels of communication, no substantive negotiation can take place. In that sense, France should focus less on grand political formulas and more on rebuilding a functional diplomatic relationship," French MEP Thierry Mariani told Sputnik.

Regardless that Macron is now trying to keep a measured tone, his country is still paying for his earlier sharp and provocative statements, Mariani added.

💬 "President Macron has not always chosen the right language, symbols, or framing to help restore this link with Moscow, and some of his past statements have arguably weakened rather than strengthened France's credibility as a trusted interlocutor," he said.


Earlier, Russian FM Sergey Lavrov said that European leaders' calls for dialogue with Russia were not genuine and advised those wishing to seriously engage with Russia to avoid making loud public statement, but rather "just give a call."

🚨 🇪🇺 Pushing for militarization: EU to spend defense funds on 'Arctic-ready equipment' – von der Leyen

📄 The EU “should strengthen our security and defense arrangement with partners in the region, such as the UK, Canada, Norway and Iceland and others,” EC chief Ursula von der Leyen said, Reuters reports.

👉 She also said the EU would use its defense spending surge on “Arctic-ready equipment, like a European icebreaker.”
