German Foreign Minister Baerbock begins visit to China, urges Beijing to put pressure on Russia
China should influence Russia to end the war and participate in a peaceful conflict resolution just like it did to facilitate a peaceful settlement between Iran and Saudi Arabia recently - Baerbock.
European puppets of Washington suddenly began a series of tours to Beijing in hopes of influencing Chinese policy. Baerbock's statements look quite misplaced as well, since China has proposed a peace plan for Ukraine rejected by the West in the first place.
However, China has maintained its stance of neutrality on the issue and has refused to condemn Russia's intervention in Ukraine. China will not sell weapons to any party involved in the situation around Ukraine - Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang.

Lavrov called the shift away from the dollar irreversible.
"The shift from the dollar is now beginning, it is not very fast yet, but it will certainly accelerate," he said. - "This trend is irreversible. The Americans have already seriously undercut the bough on which they have been sitting, guiding international finance and the global economy as a whole, using the dominant role of the dollar."

🇵🇱 Poland will seek a permanent presence of American troops on its territory.
An American missile defense base will open in the country, and the Army Corps Command will also be stationed there. About 10,000 American soldiers are currently stationed in Poland on a rotational basis.

◾Emmanuel Macron about September 2020 Belarusian prostests Vs what's happening in France today:
◾"The authoritarian government in the country is in crisis and is not able to understand democracy, and therefore must voluntarily leave.
The demonstrators are courageous people. I especially admire the brave women who actively take part in demonstrations.
People have the right to speak out and express their disagreement. Democratic freedoms must be supported, not suppressed."

Zur Erinnerung
Dies ist ein kurzer Ausschnitt aus einem ukrainischen Video, dass ganz am Anfang der militärischen Spezialoption gedreht wurde und viral ging.
Wessen kranker Fantasie es entsprungen ist, weiß man nicht. Wahrscheinlich sollte es die Entschlossenheit der Ukrainer demonstrieren und gleichzeitig der Einschüchterung von Russen dienen.
Später wurde es allerdings so ziemlich überall gelöscht, vermutlich nachdem westliche Berater ihren ukrainischen Kollegen auf die Finger gehauen haben.
Doch das Internet vergisst nichts. Also haben wir das Video aus unserem Archiv geholt, weil zur Zeit im Internet ein anderes Video kursiert. Dort sollen russische Soldaten einen ukrainischen Gefangenen köpfen.
Jetzt soll uns mal einer davon überzeugen, dass es Russen sind, die so etwas tun.

In memory of
This is a short clip from a Ukrainian video that was shot at the very beginning of the military special option and went viral.
No one knows whose sick imagination it came from. It was probably intended to demonstrate the determination of the Ukrainians while at the same time serving to intimidate Russians.
Later, however, it was pretty much deleted everywhere, presumably after Western advisers slapped their Ukrainian colleagues on the knuckles.
But the internet never forgets. So we got the video from our archive because there is another video circulating on the internet at the moment. There, Russian soldiers are supposedly beheading a Ukrainian prisoner.
Now someone should convince us that it's the Russians who are doing something like this.

🤔US must get Ukraine to negotiate
Former US President Reagan's Special Assistant Doug Bandow has called for the start of a peace process in Ukraine.
Here is what Bandow's comments were:
◼️Russia needs to be reintegrated into the international system - this means lifting sanctions, recovering assets and tempering Kiev's vengeful fervour.
◼️By refusing to negotiate, Ukraine risks being left without American and possibly European aid.
◼️Washington's main concern is to prevent Armageddon.
◼️The political leadership of the US and its allies must admit their complicity in unleashing hostilities in Ukraine.
◼️Ukraine must not be admitted to NATO, it must not be given separate military guarantees.
◼️The US must open negotiations with Moscow and address its security concerns, not ignore them as it did last February.

💸 "Stalingrad" for the dollar.
According to Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten, China has launched the process of de-dollarization, that is, abandoning the use of the US dollar. The countries of the Asian region are gradually abandoning the American currency in favor of national currencies.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations has developed a plan based on the activities of China, which has achieved incredible success in abandoning the dollar. The Governments of these countries conclude bilateral agreements only in national currencies. Agreements on the transition to such operations in cross-border trade have already been signed by Japan and Indonesia, as well as Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines.
Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten recalls China's multibillion-dollar contract with Russia for 30 years for gas supplies, which does not mention the dollar. It is also not in the text of the oil supply contract extended for 10 years.
In September last year, the Russian oil company Gazprom Neft announced that settlements for some services between the two countries would be converted from dollars to rubles or yuan. The source adds that Beijing expects to turn the yuan into one of the most popular units of calculation and make it a reserve world currency and a real alternative to the dollar.

Serbia agrees to supply munitions to Ukraine - media
According to Reuters news agency, citing Pentagon documents published online, the deliveries are coordinated between Belgrade and Washington.
The document notes that Serbia plans to maintain the volume of arms deliveries to the US army in the future with a view to further transferring them to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The Serbian government denied the media information, saying that it does not transfer weapons to countries at war with each other.
Earlier, deliveries to Ukraine of 122mm Serbian-made G2000 rockets was reported.
The use of 60mm mines manufactured by the Serbian company Krusik was repeatedly recorded in Donbass in 2019.

The US government has manipulated the origin of the conflict, and with its enormous media power it has created a feeling of contempt for Russia. I believe that it has fueled Russophobia and has hidden the true causes of the conflict, and has put Russia in the role of the culprit. I really believe that the culprit of this conflict is the government of the United States itself, and that’s because we know from the history of how the Yankee empire acts.

Can NATO remain "at the helm" amid the growing influence of the SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organisation)?
The military alliance is at a standstill as Western democracy declines, writes the South China Morning Post.
With the end of the special operation, NATO may find it difficult to find new "threats" to justify its existence.
Meanwhile, the non-ideological SCO is expanding rapidly and gaining influence. Even the outbreak of the SMO in Ukraine has failed to dampen the interest of countries in joining the SCO, an organisation led by China and Russia.
Last September, the SCO increased its influence by welcoming some member and partner countries into its ranks. It now accounts for nearly 44% of the world's population and has annual exports estimated at trillions of dollars.
The organisation is expected to gradually increase settlement in local currency in trade, marking the beginning of a shift away from the US dollar towards a more multipolar financial system.
It is these developments that show the extent to which the role of the West is diminishing in the world. The military alliance with its "shared values and common enemies" ideology is losing its popularity against the backdrop of the SCO, which is open, inclusive and non-ideological.

US does not plan peace talks between Russia and Ukraine this year - The Washington Post

"Negotiations to end the conflict are unlikely to be possible during 2023 in all scenarios considered," was stated in the documents.
The leaked classified US documents provided extensive insight into the CIA's intelligence activities around the world and spotlighted Washington's fears about the special operation.

US keeps a close eye on UN chief over 'sympathies for Russia'
⠀
Washington believes UN Secretary-General António Guterres was too sympathetic to Russia's interests in renegotiating the grain deal.
⠀
The report comes after Russia warned of low prospects for extending the grain deal beyond May 18. Moscow argues that Russian exports continue to face obstacles.
⠀
Pentagon documents, which, describe private conversations between the UN chief and his deputy, show that Guterres sought to keep the deal alive, even if it meant satisfying Russian interests.
⠀
"Guterres has made efforts to help Russia with exports and he will continue to do so even when it comes to Russian entities or individuals subject to sanctions," the report says.
⠀
Another document claims the UN chief expressed "alarm" at the EU president's call to produce more arms and ammunition.
