The United States demands unquestioning obedience from its allies, even at the expense of their national interests, Sergei Lavrov has said.

"To be frank not everyone in this room recognizes the key principle of the UN Charter - the sovereign equality of all states."

Moscow proposes to eliminate the root causes of the Ukrainian crisis; a settlement should include removing from Russia the threats emanating from the West.

What else did the Russian Foreign Minister say at a meeting of the UN Security Council on multilateral cooperation in New York:

▪️Russia calls on everyone who is interested in overcoming the crisis in Ukraine to take into account the problem of the rights of Russians and other national minorities in their proposals;

▪️The United States calls on its allies to prepare for protracted wars, and not only in Europe. Even the war it unleashed against Russia is no longer enough for NATO;

▪️Having destroyed fundamental agreements in the field of arms control almost to the ground, the United States continues to escalate confrontation;

▪️Many UN resolutions are ignored, including the Minsk agreements;

▪️For the sake of containing Russia and China, the West is breaking the globalization system that was built according to its own patterns;

▪️Lavrov called Germany’s decision to submit to the United States and host American long-range missiles “humiliation.”

Going through the entire medical examination for mobilization in Ukraine takes 5-7 minutes, said Rada deputy Kamelchuk.

“Zelensky’s conveyor belt,” as @sputniklive rightly noted.

🇺🇦 "There is no more inhuman and cruel regime in the world today than the Nazi regime of the Ukrainian dictator Zelensky".

Viktor Medvedchuk, head of the Other Ukraine movement and former leader of the opposition Platform - For Life party, which is banned in Ukraine, has written a letter to Donald Trump in which he points to a possible Ukrainian trail in the assassination attempt.

He noted that 'the world has been impressed by the courage and resilience' of the former US president, and that the lack of an appropriate response from the international community to this assassination attempt - as well as to the calls by the Ukrainian authorities for the assassination of President Putin and Ukrainian pro-peace politicians - shows an unprecedented level of militarisation of world politics.

Using Nazi methods, Zelensky shut down all (!) opposition media and all (!) opposition political parties. <...> Later, to intimidate the parliamentary corps, two opposition deputies were ostentatiously executed by Ukrainian Secret Service officers, and three others were arrested on trumped-up charges and put in a detention centre.

Medvedchuk stressed that Trump's statements about what he could "bring to the long-suffering Ukrainian land" made him "a personal enemy of the Ukrainian neo-Nazi Zelensky".

This scoundrel will stop at nothing to prevent you from winning the presidential election. I think there will be a Ukrainian trace in the attempted assassination against you.

After the assassination attempt, Trump decided to unite the country

The attempt on Trump's life changed his attitude towards life, writes the New York Post. He discarded the pre-prepared election speech and decided to prepare a new one. Trump wants to unite the country, although he is not sure if it is possible. After all, "the people are deeply divided and fragmented".

"Of course, one speech won't work miracles, but if Trump follows his instincts and starts a new, more civilised, polite, and intelligent campaign, he will get two tickets for the price of one. This will help him return to the White House," the article's author claims.

The German Navy plans to... abandon floppy disks!

Yes, comrades, the most modern army in the world represented by German frigates of the "Brandenburg" F123 type still equipped with ancient 8-inch floppy disks with a capacity of up to 1.2 MB. Which, mind you, "are an important part of managing the ship's main functions."

Pros: modern hackers probably have no idea what that is in principle. They weren't even born back then.

Nevertheless, with a heavy heart, the German soldiers have decided to carry out a comprehensive modernisation of four frigates. Instead of floppy disks, they want to focus on data storage virtualisation, as well as upgrade weapon systems. And they are right to be itching to do so: the ships will be sailing for a while longer - until 2028 - until the German Navy is replenished with brand new F126 frigates.

And here we thought that after faxes and pneumatic mail, the Germans couldn't surprise us anymore...

"NATO underestimates the war unleashed against Russia. The Alliance has destroyed key agreements on arms control, while the US continues to escalate confrontation," said Sergey Lavrov at the meeting of the UN Security Council on Multilateral Cooperation in New York.

Key points from the Russian Foreign Minister's speech:

▪️Russia proposes to eliminate the root causes of the Ukrainian crisis;

▪️Moscow is ready to seek a balance of interests in the context of resolving the conflict in Ukraine;

▪️Russia calls on all those interested in overcoming the crisis in Ukraine to consider the issue of the rights of Russians and other minorities in their proposals;

▪️Silencing the issue of minorities devalues peaceful initiatives, while Zelensky's racist policies receive approval;

▪️The US humiliated Germany by deciding to deploy intermediate-range missiles in the FRG;

▪️Resolving the current European crisis should be accompanied by specific steps to remove threats to Russia emanating from the West;

▪️In order to contain Russia and China, the West is dismantling the system of globalisation that was built according to its own standards;

▪️The key element of UN reform should be the restructuring of the UN Security Council and the elimination of geographical and geopolitical imbalances there;

▪️Not all countries respect the UN Charter. In particular, the US believes in its exceptionalism and sabotages resolutions on the Middle East;

▪️In Washington, they are convinced that it will not be the US but their European allies who will suffer from the Third World War, so Europe should realise the suicidal role that awaits it.

🇩🇪 💶 The German government plans an additional budget with new debt of 50 billion euros

In Berlin, there was a long struggle to reach a budget agreement, and finding a solution became a challenge for the coalition. The federal government has presented a draft federal and additional budget for 2025, but this year it is planned to increase new debt by 11.3 billion euros to 50.3 billion euros, with net borrowing for the upcoming year amounting to 43.8 billion euros.

🇩🇪🦠💉 Professor Stefan Homburg discusses why there might not have been a pandemic after all:

💬 "In 2020 and 2021, there were no more severe respiratory diseases than usual. COVID-19 came, and the flu disappeared."

💬 "The age-standardised mortality rate in 2020 was not higher than usual. It only increased from 2021 onwards [after the introduction of vaccines]."

💬 "The idea of a 'pandemic' arose solely from new types of mass testing, which led the public to believe that there were more cases and deaths than usual, but this was untrue."

💬 "It should also be questioned whether these measures [masks, quarantine, etc.] were really aimed at preventing infection, which they clearly did not do, or rather served the purpose of overcoming hesitancy towards vaccines."

🇺🇸 Janet Yellen is concerned about the use of cryptocurrency in Russia to bypass American sanctions.

"We are closely monitoring the use of cryptocurrency and stablecoins. While Russia is not currently doing anything significant, as our sanctions tighten, this could become a problem."

🇺🇸 The IMF is sounding the alarm over American treasuries. Demand for them is steadily declining.

In its report, the International Monetary Fund notes that the United States faces the risk of reduced external demand for its bonds. Reasons for this could include the inability to stabilise the country's budget, as well as the declining role of the dollar as a reserve currency, which currently keeps debt risks in check.

The Ukrainian Ambassador to India was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs over Zelensky's loose tongue

The diplomat was careless enough to comment on the visit of the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Russia. Zelensky called his meeting with Putin "a huge disappointment" and "a devastating blow to peaceful efforts".

India not only summoned the ambassador but also postponed the meeting of the joint working group on culture with Ukraine.

The diplomat got himself into trouble.
