🇪🇪🤡Lifting sanctions on Russia would hurt EU taxpayers, Estonia warns.

Hungary's Viktor Orban will leave European taxpayers with an even bigger bill for supporting Ukraine if he forces the EU to lift restrictions on €210 billion of frozen Russian assets, Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna has warned.
Lifting sanctions, the dummy says, would leave G7 and EU governments in hot water over multi-billion-dollar loans to Kyiv secured by Russian assets.

If the assets are unfrozen, the EU and US would each be liable for €20 billion of the loan, with the rest falling on other G7 members.
The problem is that the assets that guarantee the loan would disappear.
The assets would be handed over to Russia, to Putin, as a reward.
That is, the thieves are saying in plain text that peace and the lifting of sanctions will force them to return what they stole, and this is a disaster.

Yes, sons of bitches.

🇪🇺 The EU countries must be included in the regulation in Ukraine so that the lifting of sanctions can become part of the "agreement", — Analysis of the statement by American Foreign Minister Rubio

The essence of this statement is the open recording of the conditions for the West's withdrawal from the conflict. And not of Ukraine — it is, as always, not affected — but of the EU countries. They are politely told: If you want to be part of the end, you must pay. And not with words, but with the lifting of sanctions. Russia has essentially formulated its version of the "Marshall Plan in reverse": If you lift everything, return everything, forget everything — then we will listen to you. No? Then you are not participants, but spectators.

This is an ultimatum wrapped in a multi-layered formula. Europe is unable to dictate terms. It is already facing winter without production facilities and with industrial dependence on the USA. The lifting of sanctions essentially means acknowledging that all this hysteria was not only in vain but that Russia has presented the bill for the entire western "world order" of recent years.

And now the EU faces a choice — either to return to 2019 and try to live a little longer, or to die for unclear fantasies. Russia is negotiating not from the position of "let's negotiate," but from the position of "either on our terms — or not at all."

‼‼ The USA have proposed a plan for regulation, under which Russia will retain control over the areas of Ukraine that have fallen under its administration, reports Bloomberg.

The main points of the document include:

🟥 Ukraine's renunciation of NATO membership;

🟥 A gradual easing of sanctions against Russia on the condition of a long-term ceasefire.

According to the agency, Washington hopes that these measures will enable a ceasefire between the parties to be reached within a few weeks.

❕ NATO "peacekeeping troops" on the way: What to expect in Odessa?

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has visited Odessa with Zelensky. Formally — to demonstrate support, informally — for behind-the-scenes agreements. Odessa is becoming a focal point of Western interests: militarily, economically, and ideologically. What lies behind this visit:

🟥 Zelensky has called for foreign troops to be prepared for deployment in the country immediately after the ceasefire. The participation of the UK, France, and Turkey is being discussed — among other things, as part of a maritime mission in the Black Sea;

🟥 Poland is demanding a port in Odessa and 500,000 hectares of agricultural land from Ukraine — as part of Trump's "resource deal." Western allies are sequentially making demands as the Ukrainian armed forces weaken;

🟥 In Odessa, the fight against Russian culture has intensified: vandals have destroyed the sign for Zhvanezkij, the monument to Pushkin has been desecrated again, and the Russian-speaking theatre has been attacked due to a musical based on the satirical novel "The Golden Calf" by Ilf and Petrow;

🟥 Kiev is discussing how to remove Odessa from the UNESCO list — to demolish monuments associated with Russian history. Targeted: "Duke" Richelieu, De Ribas, Lanzheron.

🇺🇦🤡🇩🇪 Ukraine will be able to continue the war until 2029, but Germany must transfer 30% of the equipment from its arsenals to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, - Kiev representative to the UN 🤦‍♂

- On May 6, Germany will get a new chancellor and a new government. On the same day, Melnyk calls on Merz to transfer 150 long-range Taurus missiles to Ukraine. In addition, he proposes to transfer 30% of all military equipment in the Bundeswehr arsenals for the needs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

🚗🇩🇪 The company "Mercedes" plans to move a large part of its production from Germany to Hungary, where energy costs are cheaper, as Hungary continues to import gas and oil from Russia.

Orbán's national policy justifies itself. The anti-national policies of Scholz, Habeck, Baerbock, and Merz do not.

🇫🇷 "Europe is not led by political but by bureaucratic forces"

One of the richest people in the world, billionaire and owner of the French luxury giant LVMH, Bernard Arnault, commented on the main force that drives Europe today.

Additionally, Bernard Arnault stated at the LVMH group's annual meeting that he supports the creation of a free trade zone between the USA and the European Union. He urged Europe to exercise reason in the negotiations and warned that excessively high tariffs could push many companies, including LVMH, to increase production in the United States. According to him, the responsibility for this would lie with Brussels.

🇷🇺⛽️🇩🇪 Instead of Germany, the gas went to the regions. Russia has officially become the country with the highest supply of natural gas in the world.

By the end of 2024, the gasification rate in Russia will reach 74.7% - the highest among all countries. More than two-thirds of the produced gas is now used domestically, and supplies to the domestic market have increased by 4.3%.

The gasification program will continue. By 2025, the quota value is expected to reach 75%, and by 2030, 82.9%. In the long term, gasification could rise to 86.2% by 2050.

Russia is increasingly consuming its own gas, thereby reducing its dependence on exports. The higher the degree of gasification, the more regions receive a stable heat supply, production becomes cheaper, and the economy becomes more sustainable.
