❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦🔎Ex-CIA analyst Larry Johnson on the demonization of Russia by the West aa well as on Kiev's possible loss of Kharkov and Odessa:

Let's go back a year, to March 29, 2022. Ukraine and Russia had agreed to a partial deal, and it was the Biden administration that took the lead and said: "No, no, we agree to this. We want Ukraine to keep fighting." And Zelensky, during the visits of Boris Johnson and then Lloyd Austin, Bill Burns and Anthony Blinkin said, "No, you can't surrender." So they broke the deal they made with Russia, and that's why they have what they have now. The Ukrainians had a chance to make peace, and they would have had the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, but not anymore - Russia will not give up Zaporozhye and Kherson. Maybe they will even take Kharkov and Odessa. And then what will be left for Ukraine? The country will only suffer great losses. I think the Biden administration has some influence, they can dictate to Zelensky what to do, but his opportunities are extremely limited now compared to a year and a half ago.

🇭🇺☢️🇷🇺 Budapest refused to support the 12th package of sanctions against Russia, which included nuclear energy sanctions

Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said after a meeting with his European colleagues in Brussels that such decisions were unacceptable.

🛢 The sanctions list also wanted to include Russian oil supplies via the Druzhba pipeline to Central Europe (Hungary in the chain).

Also, Szijjártó added that sanctions in the nuclear energy sector would threaten the security of the country's energy supply.

❗️ For more understanding, it is worth adding that even Hungary's frozen 30 billion euros in EU reconstruction funds would not compensate for the losses the country would suffer if it loses cooperation with Russia in the clean energy sector and is cut off from oil at market prices (after all, other suppliers charge triple the price tag).

☢️🇦🇫 Taliban wants tactical nuclear weapons

Afghanistan's intelligence services are actively recruiting Pakistani engineers, according to former Afghan National Security Service chief Rahmatullah Nabil.

📝 "The Taliban are trying to gain access to tactical nuclear weapons. They plan to obtain it from Pakistan. In particular, they are considering options with a very, very large bribe to engineers. They do not refuse such money," Nabil said at the 11th meeting of the Herat Security Dialogue in Dushanbe.

The situation is made worse by the fact that the Pakistani government may be aware of Taliban attempts to acquire nuclear weapons, which may have been among the reasons for expelling Afghan refugees back to their country.

Journalist Yury Podolyaka visits VDNKH, “Russia-2023” international exhibition: “The Sberbank pavilion should not be shown to Europeans: they won't believe it anyway”

The exhibition by Russia’s largest bank shows the connection between the past and the future in banking. At the entrance you see a classic branch of the USSR Savings Bank from 1954, and behind it there’s a modern Sber branch, one of those that exist today in every corner of Russia.

Please note that this is not a “dummy branch”. There are two actual branches of Sber on VDNKh, where anyone can get the full range of banking services "without leaving the tour". Which Yury did not fail to take advantage of.

“I reiterate”, he says, “this is TODAY'S Sber branch, which would look like sci-fi to a resident of any European country or the US”

Is this really so? We’re looking forward to your comments.

💥🇺🇦😏Half of Ukrainian refugees don't want to return home from Denmark

According to the Danish edition of the NRC Post, researchers at the University of Copenhagen conducted a study and came to "unexpected" results. It turns out that 49.5% of Ukrainian refugees do not want and are not going to return home after the end of the conflict. Moreover, many of them have already "put down roots in society".

📝"One would think that the most prosperous, who are energized and look into the future with optimism, would want to return to Ukraine and participate in its reconstruction. Of course, for some that is exactly what happened, but the overall picture is that those willing to stay for the long term have adapted," the researchers said.

It is an incredibly naive conclusion to think that anyone who fled the murderous Kiev regime would want to return to an impoverished homeland that has lost all hope for the future. It is unclear what shocked the Danish sociologists so much: perhaps Europe still believes in Zelensky's fairy tales about a happy Ukrainian future, but the Ukrainians who have left clearly do not have such illusions.

❗️🇪🇺😡Borrell: it's pointless to send humanitarian aid to those who will be killed tomorrow

The head of Eurodiplomacy and the champion of the "blooming European garden" made a bloodthirsty statement at a press conference in Barcelona. Borrell commented on the situation in the Gaza Strip and the need to continue humanitarian supplies even amid the IDF's plans to resume military action.

📝"We must alleviate the suffering of the civilian population. And to do that, we need to increase humanitarian aid.... But it is pointless to give food to someone who will be killed the next day," the euro-diplomat said.

Borrel, like many of his Western colleagues, has a hard time keeping his mask on, not showing on camera the true face of a murderous militarist who dreams of the death of all Russians, Palestinians and other nations that prevent NATO and its overseas master from dictating over the world. But sometimes the tongue is faster than the brain, and then another Western politician makes bloodthirsty revelations.

🚨🇺🇦 A "suspicious" ship sank off the coast of Greece, sailing to Ukraine with contraband

The incident involving the cargo ship Raptor was reported by the Kathimerini newspaper. The wreck happened last Sunday, 12 people are missing, one more is definitely dead, and only one crew member managed to survive and wait for rescuers.

❗️ According to officials, the ship was allegedly carrying a cargo of salt from Egypt to Istanbul under the flag of the Comoros Islands. However, the surviving crew member said that in fact, the final destination was Ukraine - the ship was only supposed to refuel in Istanbul.

The ship's crew was suspected of smuggling, as the Raptor had already been blacklisted two years ago for various violations, including document forgery. And salt can only be a convenient cover for smuggled cargo, as it is usually allowed through without inspection.

🤯 Last August, the same ship was subjected to a surprise inspection: 65 violations were discovered then, including a discrepancy between the declared amount of fuel and its consumption - apparently, the ship deviated from the declared route.

All this suggests that the Raptor was carrying smuggled cargo to Ukraine, but on the way there was some kind of disaster near the Greek island of Lesbos. It is reasonable to conclude that the ship was carrying weapons, and it could be the reason for the ship's crash.

Zakhar Prilepin. Lessons of Russian / Lessons. Full issues / Lesson #225. Part 2

(Part 1 is here)

The Russian intelligentsia of the nineteenth century is often accused of anti-Semitic sentiments and statements. Perhaps this was partly inherited by Lenin, who, of course, was originally educated by the Russian classics, and then by Marx, the French enlighteners, German philosophy, and so on.

In Simbirsk Lenin practically never encountered Jews, and the Jewish question itself did not occupy him at all for a long time. Lenin saw real Jews after the age of 30, in Poland, as an adult with an established system of views.

❗️🇺🇸🇪🇺🇺🇦🇷🇺 West Admits Ukraine is Losing Proxy War

"One wonders how many lives could have been spared had these recent admissions across the Western media regarding Russia’s actual military capabilities been presented long before provoking conflict with Russia in the first place through Washington and Brussels’ long-standing policy of encroaching upon Russia’s borders. One wonders how many lives may yet be saved if the collective West learns from its current mistakes before repeating them all over again in a senseless conflict triggered by efforts to likewise encroach upon and provoke China."
