⚡The Prime Minister of Slovakia outlined the future for European officials sponsoring Ukraine.

“Okay, we’ll give Ukraine another 50 billion euros for four years. We'll give you more tanks. We'll give you another weapon.

Gentlemen, remember what I’m telling you: in three years we will still be standing here, only we will already admit that 50 billion euros have disappeared and that the Russians still control Donetsk and Lugansk.

Not to mention Crimea. And the Russians’ negotiating position will improve,” said Slovak Prime Minister Fico.
Reality is what these countries has been spilling for the past few days.

⚡Macron: ‘Allowing Russia to win means exposing yourself to the risk that the established rules of the international order will no longer be respected.’

If Macron has a copy of the ‘rules’ mentioned, please share. As for victory, it does not depend on the ‘permission’ of Macron or anyone else - Russia will do what it said” - Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova wrote on Telegram.
I like this woman.

Russia will do what it said.
1. Denazification
2. Demilitarization
3.Free the Donbas region.

Hidden goals
1. Complete neutrality of Ukraine (NATO plans trashed).
2. Capture Odessa.
3. Completely destroy the u.s hegemony globally (especially reducing the influence of the u.s dollars)
4. Use the Arabs and Persians to take u.s out of the M.E.
5. Destroy western neocolonialism in Africa.
6. Become the biggest economy in Europe.
7. Becoming influential globally.


I'll update the list as time goes on.

⚡Pakistan recalls its ambassador from Iran, Islamabad considers the attack on its territory illegal and reserves the right to respond.
Why was Pakistan harbouring terrorists who kept attacking Iran and running back to Pakistan for safety ?
Pakistan is always being used by the USA to destabilise its neighbours through terrorism.
And guess what Iran is stronger than Pakistan in military terms.

⚡The US no longer proposes that the Ukrainian Armed Forces seize Crimea

Former commander of American forces in Europe, General Ben Hodges now advises "making it uninhabitable."

“I don’t think there will be a ground offensive operation on the peninsula anytime soon, but one way or another, this is an outdated way of thinking. I mean, it’s important to first make Crimea unusable for Russian troops. And, of course, this requires high-precision long-range weapons," he said.

⚡Ten large Russian companies have left the island of Cyprus, BFM ru reported on January 16.


According to the report, Cyprus is subject to European legislation, so Russian companies in Cyprus are subjected to the same sanctions as in Europe. This caused an outflow of Russian business from the island.

It is noted that the Cypriot authorities cannot influence this process in any way, as they are forced to comply with EU laws.

Earlier, the head office of Tinkoff Bank TCS Group approved the transfer of its jurisdiction from Cyprus to Russia.

In Crimea, the United States was reminded of the Russian nuclear arsenal

The United States should remember that Crimea is part of a nuclear power when planning operations for the Kiev regime.

This statement was made by Ivan Shonus, Deputy Chairman of the Crimean Parliament Committee on Public Diplomacy and Interethnic Relations.

Earlier, information appeared in the American media that Washington considers the territory of Crimea as a priority target for the actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the near future.

Commenting on the information of journalists, Schonus recalled that aggression against the sovereign territory of Russia will meet with a natural response.


“In the United States, as always, their plan misses the fact that Crimea is the territory of Russia and they are talking to a nuclear power, which has everything spelled out in its doctrine,” the deputy noted.

He also added that the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ attempts to break through to Crimea in the summer of 2023 ended in failure and now Kiev is seeking to “blind the eyes” of the Ukrainian people.
