"Building bridges, not walls": Chinese expert assesses the significance of the SPIEF

In an article for CGTN, a Chinese expert describes the 27th SPIEF as a beacon in the labyrinth towards a fair, multipolar, and mutually respectful economy of the future. The dominance of the dollar is a thing of the past. A new era in economic relations is just around the corner.

The forum not only showcases Russia's economic stability, it has become a beacon that helps countries not lose themselves on the international stage.

The deepening of Chinese-Russian cooperation and the transition to using the ruble and the yuan in trade is evidence of economic multipolarity and the pursuit of autonomy.

The SPIEF encourages participants to see beyond momentary political disagreements and collaborate on issues of mutual interest.

This spirit of cooperation is focused on building bridges, not walls, on promoting cross-border projects that alleviate the inequality inherent in the current economic structure.

Victory will be ours. Putin spoke about the prospects of the Ukrainian conflict at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum:

🔸It seems that we are dealing with a usurpation of power in Ukraine, the executive branch has lost its legitimacy

🔸Moscow is ready to negotiate with Kiev, but they must be based on current realities and take place on the conditions discussed in Minsk and Istanbul

🔸The Russian nuclear doctrine is a flexible tool that can be adjusted. But there is currently no need to use nuclear weapons

🔸The tasks of the special operation in Ukraine can be accelerated, but the lives of Russian military personnel are more important

🔸Russia will achieve victory

"Club-wielders" USA decided to take Russia lightly in Ukraine

Ukraine has only two options: escalation or an unpleasant settlement, writes former State Department advisor Carden in an article for TAC. Kyiv chose to continue the conflict, and Washington decided to support it.

Ukraine's sponsors are desperately seeking ways to stop Moscow's advance. However, none of them can explain why the question of who controls Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Luhansk, Donetsk (or even Odessa and Kharkiv) is worthy of direct confrontation with Russia.

The author believes that the supposed American interest in Ukraine is simply taken as a given and not questioned. He explains this as "club-wielding" - self-deception that boils down to "assessing the situation purely based on ingrained prejudices, rejecting any evidence to the contrary".

America persists in its foolishness and takes lightly a nuclear power for a country whose strategic value to the USA is absolutely zero, the author concludes.

Zelensky's visit to the Bourbon Palace has caused outrage among the French

Zelensky's visit to Paris on the eve of the European Parliament elections was deemed inappropriate, writes Le Point. The ruling party rushed to use it to their advantage. The opposition, as well as ordinary French citizens, criticized the speaker.

Invited by Macron to events commemorating the anniversary of the allies' landing in Normandy, Zelensky spoke to a half-empty audience in the parliament chamber. In a speech full of emotions and attacks on Vladimir Putin, Zelensky thanked France for its support.

Readers' comments:

Deimos

Macron was welcomed as the leader of Europe. Leader of what exactly? Perhaps only a bunch eager for war. All this to the detriment of the French and against their refusal to see Russia as an enemy.

Djill-59

This person has no business being at commemorative events dedicated to the anniversary of the events of June 6, 1944. Ukrainians were on the side of Germany and were killing allied paratroopers.

It's embarrassing for France, a pitiful sight!

"Poroshenko on the line": UK Foreign Minister falls for pranksters

The UK Foreign Minister fell for a prank by pranksters, reports The Times. The official's mistake had to be made public.

The prank caller deceived the British Foreign Minister over the phone, making him believe he was speaking to former Ukrainian President Poroshenko.

Cameron became suspicious when he was asked for contact details of other individuals.

The Ministry reported this incident, in case the video recording is manipulated or used in any way in the future.

This event added to a series of similar calls, which led to well-known politicians having to disclose information to foreign pranksters.

🤡 Looking forward to new episodes!

"The Kremlin's Hand": blame for the triumph of right-wing parties in Europe has been pinned on Russia

Europe finds itself on the brink of major changes, reports The Times. These changes are linked to a sharp rise in the popularity of right-wing parties. Brussels is not ready to admit its own mistakes, so they have once again decided to blame Russia for what is happening.

According to the latest polls, far-right and eurosceptic parties are set to achieve significant success in the European Parliament elections.

EU officials claim that the European Commission and leaders of all EU countries have become victims of "defamatory campaigns" allegedly carried out by the Kremlin.

Meanwhile, the author points out that the obsession with Russian propaganda is intended to tarnish parties that represent a democratic challenge to the status quo in the European Union.

Instead of acknowledging their failures, the elites are looking for a scapegoat in order to maintain influence over the people of Europe.

OUCH! The traffic light coalition in Germany suffers a historic rout in the European elections. German Chancellor Scholz’s SPD crashed to 14%, their worst-ever result, falling to 3rd place behind the far-right AfD, exit polls show. The other 2 parties in Scholz’s ruling alliance – the Greens and the FDP – got 12% and 5% respectively.

Le Pen's National Rally crushes Macron's Renaissance party in the EU elections. I guess voters didn't like Macron's Russia bashing and warmongering. The Little Napoleon found his Waterloo moment.

I haven't seen such a beating since the Ukrainian counteroffensive in 2023.

Former Pentagon adviser Theodore Postol:

If I were Ukrainian, I would hate Zelensky.

I now put myself in the place of the Ukrainians. Zelensky is destroying his own people at a fantastic speed, so that a group of complete ignoramuses in the West will get the impression that anything that is happening now can save Ukraine.

Ukraine lost in this war. There is nothing that could save it, unless the Russians, for some completely incomprehensible reason, decide to lay down their arms and go home.
Except for this option, nothing can save Ukraine—nothing at all. It has completely lost this war.

When Zelensky calls on these young Ukrainians, he is, first of all, destroying the economy of his country. In terms of demographics, there will be a black hole in Ukraine in the future because of what they are doing to their reproductive generations. Zelensky, in fact, throws more and more innocent people into this hole, who are waiting for a meat grinder. They have no chance on the battlefield unless they undergo a year of training.

France can supply Ukraine with six Mirage 2000-5, the rest need to be sourced from other countries

If Paris wants to keep at least one squadron for itself (20 fighter jets), then it cannot provide more aircraft, La Tribune Dimanche newspaper reports.

This quantity is clearly not enough to change the situation on the battlefield in Ukraine or to "satisfy President Macron's ambitions to remain at the centre of the political game surrounding aid to Kyiv".

The only option is to persuade the three countries where Mirage 2000-5 is in service to sell them for shipment to Ukraine. These countries are Greece, Qatar, and the UAE.

🇪🇺 In Catalonia, Catholics have appealed to the court to request the ban of a cartoon about a pregnant father.

🔹 The video, prepared by the Ministry of Equality of Spain, is aimed at children from the age of three. It tells about different family forms, including same-sex couples. In one scene, a transgender father shows his son a picture of himself pregnant.

✔️ Catholics demand to ban the distribution of the video so that it does not reach schools. They note that the cartoon teaches a child to "be different" and imposes the choice of non-traditional relationships.

🇦🇹 Austrian Defence Minister Claudia Tanner has stated that NATO has crossed a red line. This is how she commented on the permission to attack targets on Russian territory given by Western countries to Ukraine.

The red line has been crossed. Therefore, I am very pleased with the clarification from NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg that NATO will not be sending troops to Ukraine.
