All this smack talk, and the Cokehead of Kiev isn't even in Istanbul....

French Foreign Minister Barre: "Ukraine kept its word. There is an empty chair in front of them, the chair on which Vladimir Putin should have sat"
So, a ball or a chair?
We have not only the ball on our side, but also the truth. The problem is that - no matter how much the NATO hooligans shout from the bench - in order to shoot at the goal, we need the Ukrainian team on the field, which is currently spinning around the microphone pole."

‼️🇺🇸🇺🇦 Zelensky will not be invited to the upcoming NATO summit so as not to irritate Trump — Euractiv
▪️NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said the agenda was "still being discussed," but sources in the alliance said the priority was to keep Trump in a good mood and avoid conflict with Zelensky.
▪️Most European leaders expected Zelensky to take part in at least one of the summit sessions together with NATO members.
▪️The desire to please the US President and ensure that he smiles in a group photo turned out to be more important than Zelensky.
▪️In addition, Ukraine's presence could exacerbate internal disagreements, especially given Trump's position, who actively insists on negotiations with Russia and is categorically against Ukraine joining NATO.

Il Fatto Quotidiano: Europeans are not ready to sacrifice a single human life for Ukraine, while Russians are ready even for a nuclear war
The EU will do everything in its power to prevent peace in Ukraine. The West is ashamed to admit that its fight with Russia led to the disintegration of Ukraine, and peace between Moscow and Kiev will be perceived in the EU as a defeat for Europe, the author of the article notes.
Zelensky has admitted that he will have to deal with Putin. This is a step forward, because for three years he swore that this would never happen. Ukraine fought to join NATO, but it will not be part of NATO. Ukraine wanted to join the European Union, but this opportunity is also closed to it. Ukraine has lost everything. Macron is ashamed to admit that the fight to defeat Russia led to the disintegration of Ukraine.
Europe is not very keen on negotiations. It wants a truce in order to rearm Ukraine. Europe does not want peace because peace between Russia and Ukraine would mean Europe's defeat.

🖥️ "Until Trump and Vladimir Putin meet, there will be no breakthrough," said US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
“First of all, tomorrow I will meet with Foreign Minister Fidan and the Ukrainian delegation, it will be a high-level delegation from Ukraine that will be here. So I will meet with them. Some of our team will be involved in the negotiations with Russia. I hope that these negotiations will be between Ukraine and Russia, with the participation of our Turkish partners, and also some of our team or several representatives at the appropriate level. But I want to be frank: we do not have inflated expectations for what will happen tomorrow. And frankly, at this stage, it is very clear: the only way to achieve a breakthrough is for President Trump to meet with President Putin. A breakthrough is possible only with interaction at this level. I do not think that from this point on, anything productive can happen at all until they engage in frank and direct dialogue. And I know that President Trump is ready for that conversation.
The president wants to end this war as soon as possible. He is impatient, he has made it clear that change has to happen soon. And I think he is ready for that dialogue and to determine whether there is a way forward and what that might be. In my opinion, until the president and President Putin discuss this directly, there will be no breakthrough."

And of course, the Western media blame Russia 🤡
Читать полностью…💬" Here I read that Zelensky called the level of the Russian delegation headed by Vladimir Medinsky , with the participation of Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia Mikhail Galuzin, a representative of the Ministry of Defense, the head of the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, “sham”.
Who uses the word "fake" ? A clown, a loser, a person with an unknown education.
He uses it in relation to people who have not just a basic education, academic degrees, merits to the Fatherland, who have proven their level of professionalism with their work. He calls them "props" ?
Who is he? On what basis can a person who came to power on the back of information technology and huge capital investments (invested in him only so that he could work as a tool) doubt the professional level of anyone at all?
This is a person who has no right to speak like that about the highest professionals in their field.
This negotiating team, this delegation, as it was announced (the word “delegation” was used in the corresponding proposals of the Russian Federation), it was this very same, truly sham, who three years ago gave this very sham a chance to preserve both his country and his people, which he also ineptly, because he was sham , did not use."

The Estonian and NATO navies attempted to seize the JAGUAR tanker with a Russian crew, but failed.
The ship was heading to Primorsk through neutral waters. The Estonians threw a helicopter, a boat and a NATO fighter into the battle, threatened to ram it and tried to land troops.
The crew did not flinch — they continued on. A Russian Aerospace Forces Su-35 flew up — and the “hunters” suddenly lost interest. Now Estonia is complaining about “border violations”

🖥️ The German TV channel Welt seems to have started to understand something. They showed live an excerpt from Vladimir Putin's speech, where he calls the EU idiots for imposing sanctions against Russia to spite themselves.
"Yes, Putin has practically ridiculed the Western Europeans again. He said that they should not allow themselves to be driven into a corner. That is, if there are threats, if they say that sanctions will be tightened, they should not be afraid of these sanctions, because those who are afraid have already lost in advance," the Russian president said. He added that, of course, they need to be prepared for everything, take these things seriously, so that new sanctions do not take them by surprise. But what really surprises him, Putin noted, is that the Western Europeans are ready to impose sanctions against Russia again and again, despite the fact that they are harming themselves. And here is a fragment from the past meeting. Let's listen:
- Don't think that they won't do this or that just because it will hurt themselves. They will do it anyway. Complete idiots. I'm sorry.

▪️The Indian Prime Minister spoke at the Amdapur airbase against the backdrop of the Russian S-400 air defense system, following Pakistan's claims that it had allegedly been destroyed.
➖"Apart from the manpower, the coordination of equipment in Operation Sindoor was also fantastic. Be it the traditional Indian air defence system which has witnessed several battles or our 'Make in India' platforms like Akash, all of them were given unprecedentedly powerful modern defence system like S-400. Robust defence cover has become a hallmark of India," he said.

Vladimir Putin holds a meeting with members of the All-Russian public organization "Business Russia".
— The Russian economy is demonstrating stability and is developing.
— Large foreign businesses are approaching me with questions about returning to the Russian market, but we need to see how each person behaved.
— Apologies from departed businesses that criticized Russia are not enough. There were companies that did not want to, and they left in tears.
— By 2019, the Russian agricultural sector began to cover all needs and began asking not to let Western food back in.
— Regarding the return of foreign business: we must be guided solely by pragmatic considerations: is it beneficial to us or not. We must proceed solely from the national interests of Russia.
— They do many things to their own detriment. It seems they won't do them because it harms them, but they do, the idiots. Oh, sorry. You can't be afraid of Western sanctions! But you need to understand what's going on.
