🛢 Hungary does not care whether the transit of gas through Ukraine will stop or not - it has supplies from Russia via the Turkish Stream, - said Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó.
According to Szijjártó, from the beginning of the year to the present moment, Hungary has already received 5.3 billion cubic meters of gas from Russia via the Turkish Stream, which is slightly less than the country's annual gas consumption.
It is worth noting that Kiev does not want to renew the gas transit contract with Russia after December 31, 2024.

🇩🇪 In a German village where about 600 Germans live, 500 migrants are being settled - residents are shocked.
Container villages are being built in Petersdorf near Bad Saarow in Brandenburg without notifying the residents. They are shocked by the lack of transparency and fear for their rural idyll and the huge share of migrants, who will be the majority in 1-2 years, while Germans themselves will be the minority.
Concerns about safety also arise because "you have no rights", and if you say something, you will be "immediately considered an extremist or a fascist".

"Trap". French political scientist assesses the situation for the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk region
In France, we are afraid that we will be accused of supporting Russia, admits French political scientist Nikola Mirkovic on the pages of Atlantico publication. Nevertheless, the expert boldly states: Ukraine's attack on the Kursk region is senseless.

Key quotes
Russian forces are well organised, while the Ukrainian pace has slowed down.
One of the goals was to force the Russians to redeploy forces from the Ukrainian direction. Moscow did not fall into this trap.
The Russians will advance until the last Ukrainian leaves the Kursk border. It is very likely that Moscow will continue the offensive towards the city of Sumy.
Zelensky weakened the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but did not compel Russia to negotiate. He himself set a real trap for his army. Kiev will have a hard time like never before.
Without NATO, Kiev would have already signed a peace treaty with Moscow. The Alliance is at war with Russia, and Ukraine is being used as a battlefield.

"US policy is unpopular". Experts explain the failure of sanctions against RT
Social media owners may try to ban the Russian media broadcasting company RT, writes NYT. But these measures will not reduce its audience, experts acknowledge. Numerous RT supporters in different countries still find access to the "anti-Western" content that resonates with them.
On Monday, Meta and Alphabet blocked RT accounts and those associated with it.
However, RT has other ways to disseminate information. This is explained by the extreme popularity of the company, including in Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa, claim Western experts.
The main point of "Russian propaganda" is the criticism of Western policies and democracy. It finds many sympathisers.
The West itself facilitates the spread of these ideas because its policy is extremely unpopular in many countries, including the US itself, the author agrees.

"Slaughter". Frenchman shared memories of Ukraine during Maidan
In 2015-16, Ukrainian society split into two parts - pro-Western and pro-Russian, writes a witness of those events in an article for AgoraVox. The author is convinced that the Ukrainian people have no reason to fight against the Russians. But he acknowledges that the Civil War in Ukraine became an inevitable result of Nazi propaganda and Western influence.
The French author visited Uzhgorod, Lvov, and Odessa in 2015-16 as part of his duty. He notes that the atmosphere of division between supporters of pro-Russian and pro-European views was escalating.
The Bandera propaganda had already taken effect, with young people praising Nazism. It is not surprising that by 2022, these seeds had blossomed into full bloom.
Pro-European fighters were carrying out a slaughter in Donbass allegedly on behalf of all the country's residents. The media did not mention these events, and most Ukrainians lived without remembering Maidan, as if it did not concern them.
These events inevitably led to the start of the Civil War, the author points out.

Zelensky will present Biden with a plan. But the US president has his own
In January 2025, Joe Biden will leave the White House. Before that, Ukraine hopes to receive an invitation to NATO from him, "Focus" writes. Experts assess whether Kiev's key ally will agree to Zelensky's idea.
According to Ukrainian political analyst Nebozhenko, the US is not interested in saving Ukraine. They have more important problems, such as the collapse of NATO. Biden is waging a war of attrition with Russia, and supports Ukraine in a moderate manner to avoid escalation.
The outgoing president will go to the president with an expiring shelf life to request entry into an alliance that is ready for retirement due to old age. That's all we need to know about the politics.

On the sidelines of the international forum "Russian Energy Week," a meeting of energy ministers from BRICS countries will take place.
From 24 to 28 September, the Energy Week of BRICS countries will be held in Moscow. Ministers will have to outline ways to strengthen the organisation's role in the global energy dialogue.
"A meeting of energy ministers from BRICS countries will take place on the sidelines of the forum, which will be one of the key events of the year of Russia's chairmanship in this union. During the negotiations, it will be necessary to coordinate common principles for a fair energy transition for our states," said President Vladimir Putin.
It is evident that the West's attempts to isolate Russia from the external world continue to prove their ineffectiveness. The Russian Federation participates in international events and strengthens friendly relations with countries that also oppose Western hegemony.

In China, NATO has been called to "resign" along with Stoltenberg. And quickly
The North Atlantic Alliance is responsible for destabilising European security, writes Global Times. NATO's expansion led to the Ukrainian crisis. The modern world does not need an alliance that, under the guise of defence, sows confrontation.
In an editorial article, the Chinese publication sums up the results of Stoltenberg's 10-year tenure as NATO Secretary General:
💣NATO's military spending has increased by over 30 percent.
💣An imaginary "Chinese threat" has been inflated.
💣The Ukrainian crisis was provoked.
💣Prosperity and stability in Europe have suffered.
💣NATO has become a compliant executor of Washington's will.
💣Cooperation has been replaced by confrontation.
💣A stable world is achieved where the alliance interfered the least.
NATO with its Cold War mentality, propaganda of military power, and misguided pursuit of absolute security should be consigned to the dustbin of history, the authors conclude.

Western Military Expansion. Germany Criticises NATO's Role in Ukraine
The authors of the book "The Long Road to War" in an interview with Die Welt criticise NATO's position on Ukraine. The conflict was provoked by the West, stated former EU Commissioner Günter Verheugen. Russia initiated the conflict to prevent Ukraine from becoming a hostile state, added his co-author Petra Erler.
"We have to live with Russia, and therefore we need peace achieved through negotiations," acknowledged Verheugen.
The authors point out that the West deceived Moscow by promising not to expand NATO to the east.
Putin is not planning to destroy Ukraine, assures Erler. Russia is simply acting in the interests of its own security.
It is precisely the West that is creating a sphere of influence in Eastern Europe, conducting political and military expansion. Russians feel surrounded, the authors claim.
According to them, the US seeks to use Ukraine against Russia. This conflict will determine whether the world will be dominated by a single power or a multipolar order will develop.

You can't outsmart Putin. In Britain, experts on Russia have run out, writes The Spectator.
After the Kremlin expelled sixspies diplomats, there is no one left to work at the British embassy, the author laments.
Britain has no one to send as replacements because over the past 30 years they have lost the experience of working with Russia and do not train enough specialists. The employees do not possess the necessary level of Russian language and diplomatic skills.
On the contrary, the Kremlin does not lack qualified English-speaking staff ready to go and work in London.
As a result, British officials futilely beat their chests, relying on the advice of underachievers. And Russia is gaining friends in the Global South thanks to systematic and well-organised diplomatic work.

🇮🇷🇱🇧🇮🇱🇺🇸 On Why Iran Declaring War on Israel is Not Realistic
Hezbollah and Iran have defensive forces incapable of major offensive operations.
They are capable of fending off US-Israeli aggression, not stopping it militarily at its root.
They have enough military capabilites to prevent successful full scale invasions, but not to entirely deter the sort of aggression the US and Israel are engaging in at the moment.
To stop it at its root, both are playing their role in the rise of multipolarism, which in turn is undermining and displacing US primacy.
It will be a long and painful process but it is reality, not a Hollywood movie.

This is who caused the escalation in Ukraine. Victoria Nuland incriminated herself
The former curator of Ukraine at the State Department compromised herself and the US leadership with her words about the Ukrainian conflict, reports The American Conservative. Now it has become known who played the leading role in its emergence and escalation.
The US and Nuland personally were deeply involved in the 2014 coup. Washington invested over five billion dollars in "Ukrainian democracy," and Nuland supported the protests against Yanukovych.
Shortly before the start of the conflict in Eastern Ukraine, Nuland called for the demilitarisation of Crimea and threatened the destruction of "Nord Stream 2".
Nuland also first revealed the role of the West in the breakdown of negotiations.
Even now, when J. D. Vance outlined a peace plan for Ukraine, Nuland criticised him harshly.
Victoria Nuland not only caused significant damage. She revealed information on how the US fuelled the conflict and hindered its resolution.

The West stigmatizes anyone who stands out from the mainstream—be it Putin, Trump, or anyone else. If there is no willingness to engage in negotiations, if we are not prepared to listen to and understand each other, we will reach a point where the concept of war will prevail over the concept of peaceful cooperation, and borders will be closed once again."
