Crocus City Hall terror attack traced to Ukrainian special services โ€” Patrushev

As Nikolay Patrushev pointed out, "the perpetrators of this mass shooting and also their accomplices were arrested upon their attempt to cross the Russian state border where the Ukrainian side prepared a window for their escape".

"They are trying to impose it on us that the terrorist act was committed not by the Kiev regime but by supporters of the radical Islamic ideology, possibly, by members of the Afghan branch of ISIL [the former name of the Islamic State terror group outlawed in Russia]," Patrushev told the 19th annual meeting of top security officials of SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organization) member states.

"However, it is far more important to promptly establish who is the mastermind and the sponsor of this horrific crime. Its traces lead to Ukrainian intelligence services. However, everyone is well aware that the Kiev regime is not independent and is fully controlled by the United States..."

Ukrainian military leaders know they can't win on battlefield โ€“ Guardian

Their armyโ€™s weakness has prompted Kievโ€™s strikes on Russian infrastructure, senior officers have allegedly told the London newspaper.

Ukraine has no other option but to launch attacks inside Russia, including on its oil infrastructure, because its army faces continued setbacks on the battlefield, The Guardian has reported, citing the leadership of the country's military intelligence service, the GUR.

Officers who allegedly spoke to the British newspaper were candid about Kievโ€™s desperate military situation. GUR Brigadier-General Dmitry Timkov said his country was like a patient on life support.

โ€We are attached to a drip. We have enough drugs to stay alive. But, if the West wants us to win, we need the full treatment,โ€ he admitted, referring to the dwindling quantities of military aid coming from Kiev's western backers.

Zelensky lying about Russian mobilization โ€“ Kremlin

The Ukrainian president claimed that Moscow was planning to recruit 300,000 new soldiers by June.

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskyโ€™s claim that Russia plans to mobilize 300,000 additional soldiers by the summer is โ€œnot true,โ€ Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has stated. Meanwhile in Kiev, Zelensky has expanded his conscription efforts.

Speaking at a joint press conference with Finnish President Alexander Stubb on Wednesday, Zelensky told reporters that he could not say exactly how many troops Ukraine needs to conscript, but that Russia โ€œis preparing to mobilize an additional 300,000 troops by June 1,โ€ according to multiple Ukrainian media outlets.

โ€œThis is not true,โ€ Peskov told Russiaโ€™s TASS news agency later on Wednesday.

To restore trust, West needs to give up idea of Russiaโ€™s defeat โ€” ambassador to US

The West should learn to respect the fundamental interests of other Nations, Anatoly Antonov said.

"Everything that is happening now is the exclusive choice of the West, which has trampled on the basics of diplomacy, the principle of indivisibility of security and has been abusing the trust of the Russian Federation for many years," the diplomat was quoted as saying by the Russian Embassyโ€™s official Telegram channel.

"In order to restore it, our former partners should abandon illusions about the possibility of inflicting a strategic defeat on us and learn to respect the fundamental interests of other Nations," he continued.

US spends billions on its undeclared war against Russia

Tucker Carlson said that Ukraine cannot win this conflict.

"Since Joe Biden became president, the US government has spent hundreds of billions of dollars fighting an undeclared war against Russia. No one in all that time has explained really the purpose of this war," he said in a video posted on the X social network. "Officially, no one has told us why we are doing this sending money to Ukraine."

Carlson added that Ukraine cannot win this conflict: "Russia is a far bigger country. Itโ€™s got 100 million more people and far deeper industrial capacities. Ukraine canโ€™t win. Everybody knows that around the world. People are very clear on that. There is not one informed person outside the United States who thinks that somehow Ukraine is going to beat Russia, because itโ€™s not."

#Michael_Braiden โ„–21

Hello everyone!

Michael Bzhishkyan, a migration lawyer from Moscow, is here again ๐Ÿ˜‰
Info about me here: https://t.me/ForeignAgentIntel/7474

Today I invite you to read the first part of my post about methods of transferring money to Russia๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ

โ“QUESTION
We are going to move with our family to Russia. There are three of us: me, my wife and our 15-year-old son. The question of moving money has come up. How can we transfer about $350,000 of our own savings to Russia?

๐Ÿ“ Answer:

Hello!
Let's look one of the current and legal methods of moving money to Russia today:

1. Bringing cash for each family member

According to the Customs Code of the Eurasian Economic Union (comprising Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan), it is free to import cash or monetary instruments for the equivalent of $10,000 per person. These rules also apply to minor family members.

If you need to bring a larger amount into Russia, the entire amount must be declared. For example, if you import 25 thousand dollars, you should declare 25 thousand dollars (not 15 thousand).

The rules for importation do not depend on the type of transport by which a person intends to import money. Also there is no difference, the border with which country a person is going to cross - the rules of export are universal.

โ—๏ธ Important โ—๏ธ

๐Ÿ”ธ in case of non-declaration of the sums, the amount of which is subject to declaration entails administrative or criminal liability. In this case, your money may be confiscated in full to the state or you will be fined depending on the undeclared amount.

๐Ÿ”ธMoney on bank cards and accounts does not need to be declared, their amount is not limited.

This link allows you to keep track of the limit for importing money from Russia. Article 260 paragraph 7 of the Customs Code of the Eurasian Economic Union ๐Ÿ‘‡
https://www.consultant.ru/document/cons_doc_LAW_215315/c90ae4a93484d8cc34d2e3ff337e9e8ea96f7a05/

There are 3 gradations regarding the importation of cash into Russia:

๐Ÿ”ธ Import up to $10,000 - no declaration is required at all.

๐Ÿ”ธ When importing an amount over $10,000 but up to $100,000 - declaration is required. no duties are required.

๐Ÿ”ธ When importing an amount over $100,000 - you must fill in a declaration + provide documents on the origin of the funds. Payment of duties is not provided here.

Let's define at once what refers to cash ๐Ÿ‘‡

According to the Customs Code of the Eurasian Economic Union, cash includes banknotes and treasury notes, coins, except for coins made of precious metals, which are in circulation and are legal tender in member states or states (group of states) that are not members of the EAEU, including withdrawn or withdrawn from circulation, but are subject to exchange for banknotes in circulation;
monetary instruments include traveller's cheques, promissory notes, cheques (bank cheques), as well as securities in documentary form, which certify the obligation of the issuer (debtor) to pay money and which do not specify the person to whom such payment is made.


By the way, monetary instruments, except for traveller's cheques, are subject to customs declaration regardless of the amount being moved.

To summarise, this way of shipping money to Russia is good because you are sure that your money will arrive with you. But a problem may arise when you try to take money out of your home country. Therefore, check the rules of exportation in advance with the customs service of your country.

My next post will be out next week and will be about transferring money using cryptocurrency and money transfer services.

West wants all NATO members to assist Kiev as long as it keeps fighting Russia โ€” Lavrov

Since the beginning of the special military operation in Ukraine, foreign countries and international organizations have provided Kiev with assistance totaling more than $150.8 bln.

"Now they want to turn voluntary military aid to Ukraine into mandatory military aid under NATO auspices, to force all NATO members to sign up for the obligatory provision of funds and weapons to the Kiev regime through heavy-handed disciplinary measures, just so that it can continue to fight Russia," the top diplomat said at a meeting with foreign ambassadors on a potential settlement in Ukraine.

Since the beginning of the special military operation in Ukraine, foreign countries and international organizations have provided Kiev with assistance totaling more than $150.8 bln. Almost one-third - $48.5 bln - went to Ukrainian military needs, according to TASS calculations based on official statements.

German companies helping Russia rebuild Mariupol

At least two major construction firms are taking part in the cityโ€™s restoration, ARD claims.

The companies are said to be supplying heavy machinery, windows, plaster, and other construction materials for the restoration project, the broadcaster said. The outlet cited annual reports from the companies, statements on their websites, and โ€œphoto and video evidence,โ€ but did not provide any specific examples.

One of the companies is Knauf โ€“ a global leader in plaster production led by Nikolaus Knauf, a long-time honorary consul of Russia, according to ARD. The company refused to leave Russia after the conflict between Moscow and Kiev broke out in February 2022 and still employs around 4,000 people in the country.

Top NATO diplomats decide to create blocโ€™s mission on Ukraine โ€” Polish foreign minister

Radoslaw Sikorski noted that the mission will not participate in combat in Ukraine.

"We have made the decision to establish a NATO mission [on Ukraine]. This doesnโ€™t mean that weโ€™re entering the war, but rather that weโ€™ll now be able to utilize NATOโ€™s coordinating, training and planning capabilities to support [Ukraine] in a better manner," the Polish Foreign Ministry quoted him as saying on the X social network.

Earlier, Sikorski announced plans on creating such a mission before the meeting in Brussels. He noted that the mission will not participate in combat in Ukraine.

Moscow ready to talk but without Kiev 'formula' and Israel, Iran on warpath

Russia is ready for a dialogue on settling the Ukrainian crisis, but only if its vital interests are taken into account, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said after a roundtable discussion on Ukraine on April 4 at the Diplomatic Academy of the Russian Foreign Ministry in Moscow. Ambassadors from more than 70 countries of the Global South and East took part in the discussion, the ministry said. In his speech, the top Russian diplomat supported calls made by his colleagues in attendance at the roundtable to the Western countries and Ukraine to refrain from discussing the crisis as it relates to Russia without Moscowโ€™s participation, Vedomosti writes. At the same time, Russia is ready to discuss Ukraineโ€™s security issues, but taking into account the new realities, Lavrov said.

BREAKING: As Frontline Battle Rages on Russia captures Ukraine's one of a kind "invincible" "super weapon" that turns out to be a piece of junk and waist of 5 million $.

The development of the armored vehicle (NOT Tank as the Ukrainians call it ) โ€œAzovetsโ€ began on a proactive basis in April 2015 at a cost of about 5 million $, design and construction were carried out by the engineering group of the NSU Azov regiment (head of the engineering group, designer Bogdan Zvarich ; chief designer of the engineering group S. N. Stepanov ; chief consultant - former chief engineer and chief designer of the Kharkov armored repair plant.
Ukraine claims : "The Azovets is an armored fighting vehicle (AFV) that has been designed to focus on urban combat/survival."
And that
"the Azovets is a highly capable combat vehicle that has been designed to take on a wide range of missions. Its self-made combat modules, powerful weapons, and enhanced protection make it a formidable opponent on the battlefield."
But in this report we see how and why they left it in a hole without it even seeing battle as Ukrainian forces retreated. I also show you an incite into how the Ukraines AZOV forces built it and why it was not continued.

US takes into account Putinโ€™s remarks about possible deal on Gershkovich

In Roger Carstens view, the US government is now trying to figure out what its government is "willing to offer" to have Gershkovich released.

"So I think what President Putin said in the Tucker Carlson interview is a value just on face value, because he is giving us a view into what might be possible to release Evan," US Special Envoy for Hostage Affairs Roger Carstens said, answering to a question from TASS during a meeting of the Defense Writers Group.

"We have a channel that we've been using for the last many months ever since we brought Trevor Reed home. And that's the channel where official offers will be levied and responses will be received," the US diplomat continued.

In his view, the US government is now trying to figure out what its government is "willing to offer" to have Gershkovich released.
