⚡Putin threatens to “push back the demilitarized zone in Ukraine” “The demilitarized zone in Ukraine should be at such a distance that would ensure the safety of peaceful cities from shelling; we will push the demilitarized zone in Ukraine back,” Putin said today. Putin also claims Russian Il-76 aircraft was shot down by American Patriot system in Belgorod. He added that he does not know and does not understand why Ukraine shot down the plane with its prisoners: “they probably want to provoke us to retaliate”. 2 Likes 1 Share

⚡ Maria Zakharova: Our position regarding the possible seizure of Russian assets that have been illegally blocked in a number of Western jurisdictions remains unchanged. We consider such actions not only as banal theft, but also as an escalation of the West’s economic aggression against our country. Any attempts to confiscate funds belonging to our country, the legality of which no one questions, would be a gross violation of international law, the domestic legislation of these countries, bilateral documents and obligations. It is noteworthy that even the European Union agreed with this earlier. However, the current EU elites are unable to resist pressure from Washington, which demands that the EU take specific measures to seize Russian assets. No one in the European Union is any longer eager to invest their own funds in the same volumes in the hopeless “Ukrainian project.” The EU budget is literally bursting at the seams. The level of public debt in the member countries of the European Union is off the charts. Fixing the hole at the expense of Russian assets is an extremely tempting, if not obsessive, idea for the European Union. The only thing that pushes them away from the last step is the consequences. They understand that the answer will be extremely tough. Brussels decided to hide behind the fact that they would seize not the assets themselves, but the income they generated. We are talking about an attempt to legitimize theft. The actions of the EU clearly demonstrate that any country seeking to pursue a sovereign policy risks becoming a victim of economic banditry from the West. It is not surprising that many countries in the Global South are gradually reducing the share of Western currencies in the financial servicing of foreign economic contracts. They are also creating an alternative SWIFT payment and settlement infrastructure. This is exactly how the financial and economic basis of a multipolar world is being formed, in which there will be no place for dictatorship and sanctions on the part of the Western minority against countries it does not like. 9 Likes 2 Shares

⚡Germany, Poland and the Netherlands have signed an agreement to speed up the deployment of NATO troops on the eastern flank. Earlier, the alliance warned member states that an excess of bureaucratic delays could lead to serious delays in the event of a conflict with Russia. Allegedly, NATO forces are now forced to comply with national rules, such as those requiring them to give early notice of ammunition shipments, ensure disease prevention and set the allowable length of military convoys. Meanwhile, under a running scenario, the US and other allies would have to send significant military reinforcements via North Sea ports through Germany and Poland to the eastern front.

⚡The United States has lost its undeniable supremacy in the world This was stated by CIA chief William Burns in the same article for Foreign Affairs. According to him, the United States is experiencing one of the key moments in its history. “The rise of China and the revanchism of Russia are serious geopolitical challenges in a world of intense geopolitical competition in which the United States no longer has undisputed superiority,” says Burns. The situation for the United States is complicated by the ongoing technological revolution, the head of the CIA added, calling it even larger than the industrial revolution. Bers noted that Putin is restoring defense production in Russia, which will help it “crush Ukraine and wear down its Western supporters.” New technologies, according to Burns, significantly complicate the CIA's work, as they provide adversaries with powerful new tools that allow them to “confuse us, evade us and spy on us.” Thus, the CIA prohibits employees from using Telegram, “infested with Russian spies.” 1 Like

Continue deceiving yourselves. 🤡 🤡 🤡 I can bring out 10 different articles and interviews of European & US leaders saying they have thoroughly depleted their weapons stock. Even NATO's Stoltenberg has admitted it more than twice now. Heck Biden himself said so. I've posted them right here with links, scroll back and see for yourself. NATO countries from Croatia to Czech Republic to Slovakia to Japan to South Korea have all admitted they've reached bottom of their ammunition barrels. There's literally no country on earth the US hasn't bought arms from to send to Ukraine. From Egypt to Brazil to Argentina to the whole of Europe to Middle East. Kuwait just sent over 100 tanks to Ukraine, even Turkey & Iran sold some drones and shells to Ukraine at some point. The US planned to deplete Russia's military but ended up depleting it's own military. Imagine 70+ countries arming Ukraine to fight just one country. The US would NEVER survive something like this.

⚡A showdown between China and the US continues off the coast of Taiwan. More than 30 aircraft practiced a combined strike on the island, and 13 planes crossed the so-called "median line" over the Taiwan Strait. The point of such actions, apart from ostensible determination, is to train their troops as well as to identify air defense systems. This is confirmed by the number of incidents based on Taiwanese Defense Ministry data for January.
