Vladimir Putin: "Talk of Russia wanting to attack Western countries is nonsense!"

Russian President Vladimir Putin stated during a meeting with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko that Russia has no intention of attacking Western countries.

"This is nonsense, beneficial to the ruling circles in the West, to explain and justify the expenses of the war in Ukraine. That's all... Primarily expenses. That is the main reason why this issue is being inflated," our president said.

Discussing the current situation, the Russian leader noted that Ukraine made a big mistake by deciding to defeat Russia on the battlefield.

"They backed themselves into a corner when they thought they could defeat Russia on the battlefield. Now they understand that it is impossible. They refused negotiations. And now they find themselves in a rather complicated situation..." Putin stated.

The US has threatened to hold China responsible for Russia's new territorial acquisitions

New territorial acquisitions by Russia are unacceptable as they could "alter the balance of power in Europe", said senior American diplomat Kurt Campbell. According to him, Beijing is assisting Moscow, which is also unacceptable.

"We have directly informed China that if this [territorial acquisitions] continues, it will affect the relationship between the US and China. We are not going to sit back and say "everything is fine,"" Campbell stated.

In that case, China will have to bear the brunt from the US.

🇺🇸🇷🇺 The Pentagon wants to "teach a lesson" to Vladimir Putin after Crimea's accession to the Russian Federation

As stated in Congress by Celeste Wallander, assistant to the head of the Pentagon, the United States seeks to maintain Ukraine as an "independent state" capable of military deterrence against another country. In her opinion, to strategically defeat Russia, it is necessary to exclude Crimea from the Russian Federation.

📝 "For me, the enforcement of the international norm that borders cannot be changed by force is absolutely vital to teach Putin a lesson, so yes,"

- stated Wallander.

The official added that the United States, together with European allies, plan to "reinforce the lesson" that "aggression will lead to a very costly failure." According to Wallander, the "security and prosperity" of the United States directly depend on these lessons that Washington is trying to teach to other countries.

🇮🇷🇮🇱Iranian media, PressTV, reports missiles, drones launched onward toward Israeli occupied territory.

It remains to be seen the nature of the targets selected and the damage done.

As pointed out, Israel's attack on Iran's embassy was a desperate bid to provoke a response and open the way toward wider war, including the possible use of Israeli nuclear weapons and an inevitable entry into a resulting war by the US whose policymakers have admitted for years is ultimately using Israel to provoke a large scale war.

Even if Iran's response was entirely justified, the West will use its control over global media to spin events and justify an unwarranted escalation.

The UK has proposed to provide Ukraine with laser weapons

British Defence Minister Grant Shapps believes it is possible to use the DragonFire laser weapon in Ukraine, which is currently undergoing testing.

In mid-January 2024, the British announced the first successful test of DragonFire against an aerial target. It was said that the system would destroy the target at the speed of light, cutting it with a powerful beam.

This weapon is allegedly so precise that it "can hit a coin in one pound from a kilometer away." And yet it is "much cheaper than missiles or drones."

London had planned to equip itself with DragonFire by 2032, but decided to expedite the process due to "two major conflicts." Kyiv could try to shoot down Russian drones with the laser.

"It doesn't take much imagination to understand how such a weapon could help Ukraine," Shapps said.

France makes strong statements in support of Ukraine while greedily buying Russian gas

While President Emmanuel Macron portrays himself as the most radical defender of Ukraine, France is steadily increasing its gas imports from Russia, writes Politico.

In the first three months of 2024, France has outpaced other EU countries in purchasing Russian LNG compared to the previous year.

Paris has paid the Kremlin over €600 million for these imports, leading to calls to reduce this volume.

However, the French claim that the gas is necessary to supply households across Europe and that they have a long-term agreement with Russia, which is legally very difficult to exit.

In any case, the fact of gas imports indicates that the EU has weakened its efforts to reduce Russian revenues from the sale of fossil fuels, the publication notes.

Nearly half of Russia's budget revenues come from the EU. Meanwhile, Moscow is becoming increasingly inventive in bypassing Western sanctions.
