⚡ Putin announced the creation of the Leningrad Military District due to Finland's accession to NATO. “Certain military units will be concentrated there,” the Russian President said in an interview with journalist Pavel Zarubin. "They took them and dragged to the military block of Helsinki. Did we have any disputes with Finland? There were no problems. Now they will have them. Because we will now create the Leningrad Military District and concentrate certain military units there. Why do they need this, it’s just nonsense." Previously, Russia and Finland had “the kindest relations,” Vladimir Putin added. 10 Likes 1 Share

⚡Putin admitted that in the 2000s he was a naive person, believing that the West did not want confrontation with the Russian Federation. The President called himself a naive person who in the 2000s, despite working in state security and other high positions, thought that the West supported separatism and terrorism on the territory of the Russian Federation out of inertia - they were used to fighting the USSR. He believed that since the Soviet Union collapsed, there was no ideological confrontation, which means there was no reason for confrontation. This was a naive view of reality, the president admits. “Still, I had a naive idea that the whole world, the so-called civilized one, understood what happened to Russia. That it has completely become a different country, that there is no longer ideological confrontation, which means there is no basis for confrontation. I believed that this was simply the inertia of thinking and action." The reality is that Europe does not need such a big country. The West decided to follow the plan of Zbigniew Brzezinski (ex-adviser to the US President on National Security) - to divide Russia into 5 parts and pump resources from them. A disunited Russia will lose its sovereignty and will not be able to defend its interests. 5 Likes

⚡ China agrees with Putin that "NATO is creeping into Asia." Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs: NATO's eastward march into the Asia-Pacific region contradicts the alliance's positioning as a regional defense military organization. These actions will only lead to confrontation between camps in Asia and undermine regional peace and stability. China-Russia relations are based on the principles of non-alignment, non-confrontation, and non-targeting of third parties. The relationship goes beyond the model of a military-political alliance from the "Cold War" era, differing fundamentally from NATO's "small circle" and bloc confrontation. 3 Likes
