FM SERGEY LAVROV:

"I am going to say something that we have not yet revealed to the public.

We have accumulated a lot of evidence on how the EU embassies in Moscow are preparing for our presidential elections.

I am referring to interference mechanisms, certain 'supporting projects' for the non-systemic opposition – in short, things that embassies have no right to address.

With this information in hand, a week and a half ago, we invited all EU ambassadors [to the foreign ministry].

As a foreign minister, I wanted to tell the heads of missions that we, out of the best intentions, advised them against doing that. So, what do you think happened?

Two days before the appointment, they handed us a diplomatic note saying that they had decided against coming.


Can you imagine relations with states, whose ambassadors are afraid to attend a meeting with the foreign minister of their country of accreditation? Whoever heard of such a thing?

Here are the manners of those arch-partners for you.

President of Russia Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stated that we never reject serious proposals.


For example, the Americans say that we are launching nuclear weapons into space and suggest that we meet and elucidate on strategic stability.

This is cheap talk, not anything for grown-up people. Exhaustive answers were given to proposals of this sort. The same goes for other affairs.

Previously, they suggested resuming inspections of our strategic facilities under the Treaty on the Reduction of Strategic Offensive Arms.

We have explained to them that the treaty was based on trust, mutual indivisible security, and transparency. The Americans have trampled these principles underfoot by declaring us an enemy that should suffer a 'strategic defeat' on the battlefield.


After doing this, without blinking an eye, they ask us if we could let them see our strategic facilities. Is that honest?

So far, none of the Western countries has made any honest proposals.

African countries, Brazil, the Arab League, and China have put forward various ideas on security in Europe, ideas dictated by the best intentions.

All of them are calling for a peaceful solution.

The main aspect of their position (this is clearly outlined in the Chinese initiatives) is that it is necessary, first, to identify the causes of the situation existing in Europe, and, second, to look for a solution based on removing these causes and on respect for the legitimate security interests of all participants.

We are ready to cooperate on this basis. But the West is promoting a ten-point formula, a 'peace formula.'


Now they have duped Switzerland and it is trying to convene meetings and a 'peace conference.' A 'summit' has even been announced. But they don’t want to invite Russia.

Our country will be summoned after they come to terms among themselves. They will hand us a paper that will be an ultimatum pure and simple. Is that serious?

Everyone knows that this will never work.

They constantly say: 'Victory on the battlefield!'

OK, let them try."

petesunday:
Every beloved superpower civilization was called savages by the civilisations preceding it until it became the dominant civilisation and starts calling others savages. The more China and other emerging economies become powerful, the more they become less harsh. The Americans who took over world power from the British were outcasts who destroyed the native Indians to build thier own world. Today they have become so refined they think Chinese and Russians are brutes.
Wisdom!

⚡IRAN SEIZES U.S. OIL SHIPMENT WORTH SOME $50 MILLION

Iranian media reported on March 6 that the Islamic Republic has confiscated a shipment of crude oil belonging to the United States from a tanker flagged under the Marshall Islands. The tanker, Advantage Sweet, was seized by Iranian naval forces last April after an alleged collision with an Iranian boat in the Persian Gulf. The seizure, estimated at around $50 million, was carried out following a Tehran court order in favor of Iranian patients suffering from Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), a rare skin disease.

These patients sued over the lack of Swedish-made medicine, attributing it to U.S. sanctions. Interestingly, a cargo of Iranian oil was unloaded off the coast of Texas from the Suez Rajan, a Marshall Islands-flagged tanker seized by the U.S. last August. This same tanker, now named St Nikolas, was seized by Iranian naval forces in the Gulf of Oman earlier this year following a court order.

Zelenskaya refused to attend Biden’s address to Congress because they wanted to seat her next to Iolanda Navalnaya.

According to the publication, the White House wanted Olena Zelenskaya to sit next to first lady Jill Biden and widow Navalnaya. According to the Biden team's plan, photos of "two female symbols of resistance to Putin would provide a powerful backdrop for President Biden's speech."

However, in Kiev they said that this causes discomfort among Ukrainians, and “Navalny’s legacy in Ukraine is overshadowed by statements about the Russian Crimea” and in general he adhered to Russian imperialism.”


Officially, the White House explained Zelenskaya’s refusal as “difficulties with the schedule” and asked to ask questions “to Zelenskaya’s office, which did not respond to the request.”

Iolanda Navalnaya also refused to participate, citing “fatigue,” said foreign agent Kira Yarmysh.

At the same time, WP believes that Zelenskaya does not want to appear as Biden’s backing vocals and spoil relations with the Republicans, whose Trump may take the White House.

Vl3ly:
can this change the tide on the front line?
😂 🤣 😂 🤣 😂

Or even return lost territories?!

Deputy Prime Minister of Russia some time last year said that revenues from those newly annexed territories (Donbass) will take care of every expense of this war.

So every damaged ship or airplane would be replaced with money from former Ukraine. That's not a loss from what i see.

Russia is sitting on $10 Trillion worth of natural resources in the Donbass.

That's why the west would rather risk a nuclear war than let Russia have the Donbass. Cuz that's the juiciest part of Ukraine.
