🇷🇺Putin now: Today we are signing agreements on the accession to Russia of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, as well as the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. This is the will of the people. This is the right of the people.

🇷🇺Putin's main theses:
- We continue the work of our ancestors - to fight for Novorossiya. How Suvorov, Rumyantsev and Potemkin fought.
- Residents of Donbass have carried their love for Russia through generations, and no one can destroy this feeling.
- Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, become citizens of Russia forever and the issue of ownership of all the territories where the referendum was held will not be discussed.
“I want the Kyiv authorities and their real masters in the West to hear me, so that everyone remembers this: people in Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporozhye and Kherson become our citizens. Forever and ever".
- “The West has been looking for and is looking for a new chance to weaken and destroy Russia, they are haunted that there is such a great country. The West does not need Russia, but we do need it.”
- The United States is the only one in the world to use nuclear weapons twice against peaceful cities - Herashima and Nagasaki and set a precedent
- Sanctions are not enough for the Anglo-Saxons, they have switched to sabotage, in fact, they have begun to destroy the pan-European infrastructure (about the explosions at the Nord Streams)

🇷🇺Putin's main theses 2:
- Now there is a containment by Washington of Russia, China and Iran, other countries are next in line, as well as current partners and allies of the United States
- “Do we really want to have Parent No. 1, No. 2 in Russia, are they completely crazy or what? Do we want our children to be told that there are genders other than sex?”
- The West was able to get to the wealth of the Russian Federation at the end of the 20th century. We remember everything, we have not forgotten anything. They called us friends, but in fact they treated us like a colony
- “The battlefield where history has called us is a battle for our people, for great historical Russia, for our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Today we are fighting for the fact that it never occurred to anyone that the Russian language and culture can be deleted.”
- The West is pursuing a policy of total desovereignization in the world, hence their aggression towards traditional values and the sovereignty of countries, it destroys entire states that do not agree to surrender their sovereignty in its favor.

🇷🇺❗⚡The heads of the new subjects of the Russian Federation and Putin shake hands - everyone in the hall chanting "Russia"

❗From Stoltenberg's speech:

- Right now we cannot accept Ukraine into NATO;

- The decision to admit a country to NATO will be made by all 30 members of the Alliance;

- NATO is not a party to the conflict in Ukraine and remains a defence alliance;

- The Alliance does not recognise Russia's new territories;

- We have to defend every millimetre of our territory, so we have to increase our military presence in the territories of our allies;

- Our task is to support Ukraine, to contain the escalation of the conflict and to show that NATO intends to use weapons if necessary;

- If Putin wins, these are risks for us;

Suddenly. An American magazine accused Zelensky of lying, and Ukrainian nationalists of killing Jews.

According to the author, Zelensky has never apologized for his statement in Babi Yar that "Ukrainians made a choice 80 years ago and saved the Jews."

▪️"He is right, the Ukrainian people made a choice then, but not for the sake of saving Jews. Almost all Ukrainians either participated in mass killings or remained silent when their Jewish neighbors were rounded up and slaughtered in places like Babi Yar."

▪️"Many of those who pulled the trigger were Ukrainians themselves."

▪️"It was not the first time that Ukraine committed the mass murder of Jews. In 1648, Bohdan Khmelnytsky led a pogrom where tens of thousands of Jews, including infants, were killed. A monument to this genocidal murderer still stands in the center of Kiev."

▪️"They say that the truth is the first victim of the war, but this is not an excuse for the lies that have now spread throughout Europe. Namely, that Ukrainians, Poles, Latvians, Li

A Chinese diplomat is "trolling" the Western investigation of the explosions on the "Northern Streams".

🇺🇺🇦 Who hit a convoy of civilians in Zaporozhye - Rybar analysis

On 30 September, civilians waiting to leave for liberated territory from Ukrainian Zaporozhye were hit by an artillery strike. A shell (presumably 155mm) hit the site at the Orekhovsky car market, where convoys were being formed to cross the line of contact.

According to official statements, 24 people were killed and more than 30 wounded. Naturally, the Ukrainian side immediately accused the Russian Armed Forces of shelling the convoy.

Rybar's team analysed the direction of the strike, the nature of the dispersion of soil and shrapnel. We established that the strike came from the north-west, where [Zaporozhye] city is.

If we look at the military facilities along the trajectory of the strike, we find the military unit 3033 of the National Guard of Ukraine (coordinates 47.79788978589064, 35.22518575082353) at 4b Musulnaya Street.

💡A very interesting study from Stanford Cyber Policy Center on Social Media Networks that use deceptive tactics to promote pro-Western narratives, while opposing countries including Russia, China, and Iran. Fake News, Fake Faces, Fake Followers.

The hypocrisy of the Ukrainian press about petal mines: Part 1.

Over the past months, the AFU were using remote-controlled mines in towns of Donbass and settlements in other territories occupied by Russian troops.

The Ukrainian "journalist" Dmytro Komarov has recently visited Balakleya and warned the residents about mines such as "Lepestok" (petal), which were scattered by the AFU when Balakleya was still under Russian control. But he never mentioned that Ukrainians had scattered them!

Hypocrisy of the Ukrainian Press about "Petals": Part 2 (link to Part 1)

Report by @volrota:

A few weeks ago (August 10; Balakleya was under Russian control), the head of our volunteer center in the Kharkov region, Alexander Kulikov recorded a video review about how the Ukronazis sow Izyum, Balakley, and Donetsk with Petal mines.

Now the Ukronazis want to shift the responsibility for this to us. A report has been published in the Ukrainian media that allegedly the Russian military is sowing Balakley with "Petals". This is a lie, a provocation, and most importantly, an invention of the Ukrainian special services.

It was our Russian military that has been clearing the cities of mines for a long time. They conducted mine clearance so that civilians would not suffer, and our volunteers informed people about the danger of "Petals".

We present to your attention a video from three weeks ago. Our volunteers showed how many "Petals" the Ukronazis scattered in Balakleya and how the city is being cleared of mines.

Forbes: Russian Oil Price Cap Could Be Biden’s Biggest Energy Folly Yet
By Dan Eberhart, CEO of Canary, LLC

There are two likely consequences of the price cap on Russian oil exports that G7 leaders agreed to in early September – and neither is good for the policy’s architects.

The idea behind the price cap is to expand the reach of sanctions on Russia to third countries, thereby limiting the windfall the Kremlin is receiving from higher oil prices while also lessening the impact on prices in sanctioning countries. But there are flaws in this thinking.

First, big buyers of Russian oil like China and India will likely ignore or evade the cap and keep providing vital funding for Russia’s war machine with their purchases.

Second, the price cap creates a considerable disruption to Russian oil supply that will send global prices skyrocketing, keeping Russian oil income buoyant while punishing the global economy.
[ ]
The worst-case scenario is full-blown Russian retaliation and the use of oil exports as a weapon, which could deliver a bullish shock to the market, pushing prices as high as $150 a barrel.

Such a scenario could increase Russia’s oil income by as much as 50 percent while exacerbating global recessionary pressures.

The risk of this market reaction cannot be overstated – especially since the Biden administration and EU and UK policymakers have proven themselves incompetent in the current energy crisis, and the price cap could be their coup de grace.

Former US President Jimmy Carter turns 98 today. His thoughts on US-China relations may surprise you:

"Since we normalized relations with China in 1979, the US has been in constant war. China has not been in combat with anyone."

"[The US] is the most warlike country on earth."

"Free journalism is not a crime!" — Demonstration in Berlin against persecution of Alina Lipp

A rally in support of German journalist Alina Lipp, who has been repeatedly persecuted for her journalistic work covering the events in Donbas, is taking place right now in Berlin. Not only Alina herself, but her family has also suffered — Alina's mother, Petra Lipp, was also targeted. She had to leave the country, and her bank accounts were blocked.

The protesters call for stopping Russophobia and arms shipments to Ukraine. "Rally for friendship with Russia and against the prosecution of Russians," Alina writes on her Telegram.
