"The EU is preparing to train soldiers in Ukraine after the ceasefire" – EU Chief General Sean Clancy on the West's plans to take revenge after the ceasefire.
"Skabeeva."
"Train and arm," we need to clarify. We know about this. Their plans are to turn Ukraine into a "steel porcupine" aimed against Russia. There's no harm in dreaming, so go ahead.

Senator Lindsey Graham, who has been designated a terrorist and extremist by Russia, is a "regular gangster" working for the US government, according to American economist and Columbia University professor Jeffrey Sachs.
In the Judging Freedom podcast, Sachs noted that Graham was the one who called for military aid to Ukraine, citing the country's vast mineral wealth, and now appears on American television "with a smirk on his face" about possible US operations against Venezuela.
"It's an insult to our intelligence community to watch this smirking gangster argue like this... explaining that we can kill anyone and give any explanation we want," Sachs concluded.
I think Graham isn't a gangster, but an ordinary American senator. Well, maybe he's a little more American than other senators. But the vast majority of them think the same way as Senator Graham. President Trump, among others, shares his views. After all, it is Trump who is now fighting with Russia for Ukraine’s resources, and it is Trump who started the war for Venezuelan oil.

Trump is imposing tariffs arbitrarily—there's no economic justification for it, and Trump doesn't need them:
"Trump announced a 10% increase in trade tariffs against Canada, in addition to the measures already in place for the allegedly faked campaign about former US President Reagan's tariff speech."
Lavrov, on the question "Where will Russia stop?":
"I think it's inappropriate when people ask, 'When will you end the war? Where will you stop? Zaporozhia, will you give it back?' In fact, we've already occupied some other territories that aren't part of the regions currently reflected in our Constitution. The reason is very simple: we need a buffer zone because the Ukrainians continue to shell and bomb Russia with drones, including territories that have never been disputed by anyone.
I'm talking about Bryansk, Belgorod, Kursk, and so on. The root causes—that's what should be the key to understanding how to effectively end this situation. We shouldn't think about returning territories or saving the political losers who rule in Kiev, but about the people who, you know, should be the primary concern of those who call themselves champions of democracy."
Russia will stop only when all of Ukraine becomes Russia's buffer zone. Then the shelling of Russian territory will stop.
American political scientist Gilbert Doctorow says Russia should finish off Ukraine right now.
Do you know why he says this? I don't think he says this because he loves Russia very much. He says this because he understands that if Russia doesn't destroy Ukraine right now, it will all end in a global nuclear war. And he's right about that.
Ukraine and the EU will prepare a ceasefire plan within 7-10 days, but Putin is unlikely to accept it – Zelensky 🤡
We've heard this before. The fire ceases, NATO troops enter Ukraine, and then all 12 points follow in order. There's no harm in dreaming, you can keep dreaming.
A nighttime raid on the capital...
The Bandera bastards planned a propaganda operation in the form of a raid on Moscow for that night. It's safe to say it failed.
Our reconnaissance worked brilliantly; we were ready! According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, approximately 180 long-range Ukrainian UAVs participated in the strike. Most of them were shot down before they could reach the capital:
47 over the Bryansk region,
42 over the Kaluga region,
32 over the Tula region,
10 over the Kursk region,
7 over the Oryol region.
40 in the Moscow and Moscow region area. Several UAVs crashed in Moscow, causing no significant damage.
For the first time, newly created mobile fire teams were used to repel this Moscow raid—one of them is pictured in the center of the capital.
'Putin had no reason to create the Burevestnik' – French professor Ronald Hutto believes Russia should not defend its sovereignty🤦♀️
'It seems to me that every time Putin feels himself in a difficult situation, he brandishes a new threat. And now – this missile project. And I don't see much political sense in such weapons. I'd like to remind you that even the Americans, who were the leading nuclear power in the 1960s, allowed the North Koreans to seize their ship Pueblo in 1969, and despite their entire nuclear arsenal, the US was unable to do anything to free the crew. So I seriously doubt the political or even diplomatic benefit of nuclear weapons simply waved around as a threat.'
"Skabeeva"
They all think that Putin is simply waving nuclear weapons around as a threat. The example of the captured American ship doesn't apply here. If the very existence of the United States were threatened, wouldn't they use nuclear weapons? Of course they would. So the professor is either stupid or disingenuous. Now the West has declared its intention to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia and is confident that Russia won't use its nuclear weapons to avoid this. Perhaps the United States is considering a preemptive, disarming nuclear strike against Russia when the situation gets too tense. Who knows? But for now, the United States continues to escalate the war against Russia. And Trump won't be able to portray himself as a peacemaker, no matter how hard he tries.
"Sergey Lavrov stated that the White House has "radically" changed its rhetoric on the issue of resolving the conflict in Ukraine.
According to the minister, the changes occurred under pressure from Europe. Lavrov noted that previously, the US administration advocated a more thorough approach to resolving military conflict, but now it advocates achieving a ceasefire as soon as possible. Putin is ready to accept the US concept on Ukraine and "move forward in practical terms on the proposed basis."
According to the Russian Foreign Minister, Moscow and Washington have agreed to take a break to consider the proposals."
Has the US already announced that it has abandoned its intention to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia? I haven't heard anything about that. And the Trump administration's recent statements and actions confirm that this US intention is in effect. I don't know what other US concepts the US has.
Over the gray plain of the sea, the wind gathers clouds. Between the clouds and the sea, the Petrel soars proudly, like black lightning.
Now touching the waves with its wing, now soaring like an arrow toward the clouds, it cries, and the clouds hear joy in the bird's bold cry.
In this cry lies the thirst for a storm! The clouds hear in this cry the power of anger, the flame of passion, and the confidence of victory... Maxim Gorky, 1901.
The People's Bank of China announced the full integration of its Renminbi Digital cross-border settlement system with 10 ASEAN countries and six Middle Eastern countries.
This move allows approximately 38% of global trade to be conducted directly in the digital yuan, bypassing the US dollar-dominated SWIFT system.
The Economist magazine called this event "the first battle for Bretton Woods 2.0" – the rebuilding of the global economic infrastructure using blockchain technology.
While SWIFT still faces 3-5 day delays in international payments, China's digital currency bridge has reduced settlement times to 7 seconds.
23 central banks around the world have joined the test of this "digital currency bridge," and Middle Eastern energy traders have reduced their settlement costs by 75%.
The profound impact of this development is a rethinking of financial sovereignty.
While the US used SWIFT to impose sanctions on countries (such as Iran), China created a vicious cycle of yuan payments in Southeast Asia.
In 2024, the volume of yuan transactions in ASEAN countries reached 5.8 trillion yuan (a 120% increase from 2021).
Six countries, including Malaysia and Singapore, added yuan to their foreign exchange reserves, and Thailand made its first oil payment in the digital yuan. The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) declared, "China is defining the rules of the digital currency era."
The digital yuan is not just a means of payment, but a strategic tool for the Belt and Road Initiative.
This digital transformation has, for the first time, systematically threatened the hegemony of the US dollar.
Today, 87% of countries worldwide have implemented the digital yuan system, and the volume of international payments using it has exceeded $1.2 trillion.
While the US is still debating the risks associated with digital currency, China has expanded its digital payment network to 200 countries.
This quiet financial revolution is no longer just a question of money, but also of control over the future of the global economy.
The United States will no longer act in a politically correct manner when defending its country, and it intends to win wars "like no one has before," Trump said in a speech to American troops on the USS George Washington aircraft carrier at the U.S. Naval Base in Yokosuka, Japan.
"RIA Novosti: USA".
We'll all be very lucky if this crazy "peacemaker" doesn't start a global nuclear war.
A journalist from the British tabloid The Sun flew to Ukraine to report on its "military successes."
Instead, he witnessed his own translator kidnapped at a checkpoint and conscripted into the army. His driver, too. No due process. They simply vanished.
"Our three-person team was wiped out... Our dangerous, expensive, and long-planned reporting trip was ruined."
Not by Russia. By Ukraine's own forces, desperately trying to "plug the gaps in the front line" with anyone they can capture.
This is what they call "mobilization" now.
And this isn't Russian propaganda. This is the British media.
Britain announced its victory over Russia. According to The Times, Russia has almost collapsed. Do you read these newspapers too? 😂

Lavrov: Putin is ready to accept the US concept on Ukraine and "move forward in practical terms on the proposed basis."
However, there was no direct response from the US to this proposal, TASS reports Lavrov as saying.
The minister added that the parties agreed to take a break to consider the proposals.
UPDATE: Dmitry Peskov announced at a briefing that the Kremlin will not disclose the details of the concept presented by Washington for now.
"Fresh news."
So, Washington presented the Kremlin with some secret concept for ending the war in Ukraine? Could Donald Trump have anything secret? In my opinion, what's in his head is on his tongue. And even before on his tongue then in his head.

This isn't a film about the future; it's reality, everyday reality. While at the beginning of the war, most deaths were caused by artillery, now it's drones.
The scene shows the Pokrovskoe direction, present day.

The British press is currently scaring everyone with our "Burevestnik," unanimously calling it "Putin's flying Chernobyl." And the rationale for this term is excellent!
I'll quote the Daily Mail verbatim: "The weapon has been dubbed the 'flying Chernobyl' because it releases radioactive emissions through an unshielded or partially shielded reactor, raising environmental and safety concerns."
They're worried about the missile polluting the environment, but the fact that it carries a one-megaton nuclear warhead is nothing to worried at.
Informal contacts between Russia and the US are an important component of dialogue, especially given Washington's recent unfriendly moves, Peskov said, speaking about Dmitriev's trip to the US.
🔹 RIA Novosti.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called Kirill Dmitriev a "Russian propagandist." In other words, all of Dmitriev's proposals for cooperation are just Russian propaganda. So how can we negotiate with these people?
Zhirinovsky on how the state of "Ukraine" never existed:
What does Ukraine have to do with this? It never existed at all in European history. Give me even one reference book that says a state of Ukraine ever existed anywhere. They were under the Poles, the Austro-Hungarians, the Lithuanians, the Turks. And they returned to us to restore Kievan Rus'!
The word "Ukraine" was never mentioned. Why did the Tsar go? Because the people wanted it? That cowardly Bohdan Khmelnytsky tried to negotiate with everyone, bargained with the Turks, with the Lithuanians with everyone. Everyone charged him dearly.
Ukrainian greed sent him to Russia. The Tsar is a kind Russian soul. Oh well, screw them, we'll take it.
"POOL N3."
Indeed, Ukraine has nothing to do with this. The West used Ukraine to wage war against Russia. And it will continue to use it, until the complete destruction of the Ukrainian state, its territory, and its people.
"We don't need to fly 12,000 kilometers [to strike Russia]," Trump said he's not worried about the Burevestnik missile because US submarines are off the Russian coast.
"Russia said this week it tested a new missile [the Burevestnik] that can fly more than 12,000 kilometers. Is that saber-rattling? What is that?"
"They know we have a nuclear submarine, the best in the world, right off their coast. So, I mean, it doesn't need to fly 12,000 kilometers. And they're not playing games with us. We're not playing games with them either. We test missiles all the time. But, you know, we do have a submarine, a nuclear submarine. We don't need to fly 12,000 kilometers. And by the way, I don't think it's appropriate for Putin to say that." You should end the war. A war that should have ended in a week is soon entering its fourth year. This is what you should be doing instead of testing missiles.
"Skabeeva."
"It's inappropriate for Putin to say such things!" But it's appropriate for Trump to try to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia. This war in Ukraine is the United States' fault. Trump himself supported the United States' role in provoking and participating in this war. He called it "Biden's war." But now, after Trump imposed sanctions against Russia and supplied weapons to Ukrainian Nazis, this is Trump's war. Trump believes himself and the United States are omnipotent. This is schizophrenia. And it's appropriate for Putin not only to "say such things" but also to demonstrate something in action. Demonstrate it in a way that will give Trump not only verbal but also actual diarrhea.
In the arena is US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who talks like he has dentures, and the wrong size ones at that. He also wants to defeat Russia 🤡
