Ukraine announced guarantees not to hit Russia with long-range missiles

MOSCOW, February 2 — RIA Novosti. Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said that Kyiv is ready to give guarantees to Western partners that it will not strike at the territory of the Russian Federation in the event of the supply of long-range missiles.
Reznikov made this statement during a joint meeting of the Ukrainian government and the European Commission.

"If we had the ability to strike at a distance of 300 kilometres, the Russian army would not be able to provide defence and would be forced to be defeated. Ukraine is ready to provide any guarantees that your weapons will not be involved in attacks on Russian territory. We have enough targets for the time being occupied territory of Ukraine, and we are ready to coordinate goals with our partners," the Ukrainian edition of Ukrinform quoted Reznikov as saying on Thursday.
Earlier, Western media reported that the United States was preparing a $2.2 billion military aid package for Ukraine, which for the first time could include GLSDB bombs. This is a joint development between Boeing and Saab, which added a rocket engine to an aerial bomb and adapted it to be launched using HIMARS. Saab claims that the range of such a precision-guided munition exceeds 150 kilometres (against Ukraine's existing projectiles with a range of 80 kilometres).

Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stressed earlier that the United States and NATO are directly involved in the conflict in Ukraine, "including not only the supply of weapons, but also the training of personnel" in the UK, Germany, Italy and other countries.

It appears that even Western "allies" masters are not trusting their serves in Ukraine. That is one of the reasons of the refusal to supply F-16. They still want to live and avoid global confrontation.

Prank with John Bolton / Western Alliance and NATO Expansion

In the new episode of "Show ViL" during a conversation with "Petro Poroshenko" John Bolton stated the need for the West to strengthen its sanctions policy against Russia. He does not think they (the Western Alliance) have done enough to enforce the sanctions since Russia continues to bypass them. Also, he stated that China has helped in many ways. He assumes that the Chinese pretend that they want to dissociate themselves from Russia, but they are providing substantial assistance in various ways.
Moreover, it is important to stop attempts by the French, Germans or anyone else to try to negotiate with the Russians.

John Bolton also revealed the "secrets" about the non-expansion of NATO and commented on the 1990 promise of US Secretary of State James Baker to Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev not to expand to the east. During their conversation, Baker actually launched into arguments and looked for ways to avoid confrontation. As John has revealed in his speech, The Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact Organization were disintegrating so Baker and George H.W. Bush did not want to restrain this process.

"The sooner Ukraine and Georgia are together with NATO, the safer it will be for everyone. And everyone had all these excuses why we couldn't do it," – John Bolton said.

A fighter of the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to earn some money at the PMC Wagner during his leave

According to the press service of Yevgeny Prigozhin (founder of PMC "Wagner"), in the morning they noticed a Ukrainian soldier who was walking towards the location of the Wagnerites with a white flag. Introducing himself as Ivan Galushko, the Ukrainian soldier said that he received two weeks of leave and asked if he could join the Wagner PMC for this period. “He said he wanted to earn some money and send money to his family,” one of the PMC fighters said. The Ukrainians were not detained or ridiculed, but were treated with understanding, given a supply of food for a month and sent back in peace. “We are not animals, everyone has their own situation. A soldier does not laugh at a soldier. Let's meet on the battlefield — there will be another conversation,” Evgeny Prigozhin.

The death of Hieromonk Boniface was reported during the shelling of the monastery in the village of Nikolsky near Ugledar

Translated from RusVesna

I was there in the summer. The car stopped at the gate, I entered the territory of the monastery. It was quiet, I walked and walked, and around there were only traces of arrivals, crumbling walls, a collapsed stone; the wall of the monastery itself was painstakingly patched up. A couple of times I came across locals along the way — the monks baked bread and handed it out to them.

Several monks were sitting near the building, when they saw me, they were alarmed. Questions poured in where I left the car, having learned that it was at the gate, they asked me to overtake. A thin, elderly monk led me to where “Coast” and a freshly caught kitten with a sore eye were waiting for me, and explained to “Coast” where to rearrange the car.

He made me put on two scarves over my camouflage — on my head and on my shoulders — and a skirt. So, he explained, the enemy drone will take me for an ordinary local who came for bread.

The monks spoke sparingly about their life — they said that Nikolskoye was bombed every day and that half of the blows, it is not known for what reason, fell on the monastery.

The skinny, talkative monk who accompanied me kept telling me that the abbot had a long-standing conflict with the leader of the Ukrainian schismatics; sorry, I didn’t take it off, I didn’t write it down, but now I can’t remember the details.

It was the abbot who forbade filming: he explained that in this case they could be hunted purposefully. They gave me cherry compote to drink, I asked to pray for one of my friends from the Izyum front, and I left for Donetsk, hoping that the thick walls of the monastery would save them. They kept it for a long time...

Ukrainian channels continue claiming that the strikes on the monastery are carried out by the Russian Army:

"Everyone in the White House knows that Ukraine is losing"

This statement was made by the former adviser to the US Secretary of Defense Douglas McGregor.

Arms supplies, in his opinion, do not add to Kiev's chances of victory, but only aggravate the catastrophe unfolding in the country.

Lake Baikal is an ancient, massive lake in the mountainous Russian region of Siberia, north of the Mongolian border. Considered the deepest lake in the world, it’s circled by a network of hiking paths called the Great Baikal Trail. The village of Listvyanka, on its western shoreline, is a popular starting point for summertime wildlife-spotting tours, plus wintertime ice-skating and dog sledding.

Schism in the Church is a cunning operation that’s been going on for about 30 years. The main beneficiary... is American interests,’ says Slobodan Stojićević, an author of books on the Orthodox Church history. He closely follows the schism in Ukraine. According to Slobodan, it strongly resembles the split operation launched many years ago by the Americans in the Balkans. ‘[It’s done] to weaken our nation state, you must weaken and split our national Orthodox church.’

In 2019, the Ukrainian church received a letter of ecclesiastical independence of Kiev from Moscow from Patriarch Bartholomew. Stojićević argues that the US stands behind this step, as Bartholomew’s Constantinople Patriarchate is fully dependent on American money.

A Russian soldier's poem for his Mother.
(Translation by putingers_cat)

Mom, I beg, forgive me. As a soldier,
I heard a call that I could not ignore.
I was first at the enlistment office,
Got signed up, and now I’m at a war.

I am stubborn, as you know, like daddy.
That, alone, could never be enough.
This is different: Motherland is sacred.
Just as sacred as your pure love.

I know that you’ll understand me, mommy,
That there couldn’t be another way.
When the world is just about to crumble,
Russian soldiers square the mess away.

We’ll prevail again in usual fashion.
Mom, imagine, when I look at guys,
At my comrades, faithful sons of Russia -
Our grandfathers’ valor’s in their eyes.

This is why you shouldn’t really worry.
We’ve made up a single fist, we’re pumped!
For each other and for Russia’s glory,
We’ll again clean up this wicked dump.

Mom, I beg, forgive me, I’m a soldier.
May your prayer protect me from above.
Just remember: Motherland is sacred.
Just as sacred as your pure love.

Russia and Iran just connected all their banks.

52 Iranian banks under SEPAM and 106 Russian banks under SPFS can now talk to each other

We are seeing the birth of a new system where US sanctions won’t work


IRAN AND RUSSIA LINK THEIR BANKS IN NEW DEAL

The central banks of #Russian and #Iran have signed a deal to connect national #interbank communication and transfer systems to spur trade and facilitate transactions.
 
Circumventing #sanctions:
According to officials from Iran’s central bank, the deal is a big step forward in implementing countermeasures against banking sanctions applied to Iran and Russia.

The two local interbank systems cannot be sanctioned and their infrastructures are not controlled by other governments.

The contract is the first step outlined in the join action plan of banking cooperation signed in 2022 by the two central banks.

This will pave the way for all Iranian banks to interact with Russian lenders.
Representatives from the Russian side stated that their interest lies in enhancing ties with Iran’s banks, noting that the agreement will help promote bilateral trade.

Trade between Russia and Iran surged by 15% in 2022, reaching USD 4.6 billion, as per Russian government officials.

The two countries are taking big steps to build mutual trade.

It is important for them to use settlements in national currencies more actively.

Much has already been done in this regard – now the share of the ruble and the rial in mutual settlements exceeds 60%.

Work on the joint application of national payment systems is being completed.

A Chinese balloon is seen flying over the United States

#Archival footage of the project "Moby Dik" or "Project 119L". It started in the 1947s. Then the United States, under the guise of weather balloons, massively launched giant balloons to spy on the territory of the USSR. They could fly, land or then be taken to safe places for several days, and they were picked up by special services to shoot films from the camera. It was difficult to shoot them down because of the high flight altitude. For 20 years - from 1956 to 1977, 4112 reconnaissance balloons were registered in the USSR air defense system, of which only 793 were shot down.
