US stops hiding true purpose of sanctions on Moscow, Russian envoy says

"It’s not about any mythical aspirations to resolve the conflict in Ukraine, but about banal opportunistic and predatory ambitions," Anatoly Antonov said.

"Washington has stopped hiding the true intent of its restrictive pressure on our country. It’s not about any mythical aspirations to resolve the conflict in Ukraine, but about banal opportunistic and predatory ambitions. A trivial scenario is in order: if the Americans cannot win in a fair economic competition, sanctions are used," he pointed out, commenting on US officials’ statements about plans to increase pressure on Russia’s energy sector.

Antonov stressed that US officials "use every opportunity" to threaten Russia with restrictions.

Earlier, US Assistant Secretary of State for Energy Resources Geoffrey Pyatt said that Washington expected to further restrict Russia’s access to European energy markets.

Radicals, intel services behind terror attacks in various countries, says Putin

The tactics employed by these criminals are becoming increasingly complex and barbaric, the Russian leader pointed out.

"Undoubtedly, international terrorism remains one of the gravest threats of the 21st century. The objectives behind terrorist attacks occurring across various regions are not solely driven by radical groups, but also involve the intelligence services of certain nations. Their aim is to undermine constitutional foundations and destabilize sovereign states, fueling interethnic and interreligious discord," the Russian leader said.

The tactics employed by these criminals are becoming increasingly complex and barbaric, Putin pointed out.

Ukrainian “impregnable” defense turned out to be useless.

The Russian Armed Forces simply bypassed the defense line where Zelensky was filming.

Sergeant of the 93rd brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Anton Nevkipely with the call sign “Schizo” complained on social networks about the “hyped” defense line of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. According to him, the Russian Armed Forces easily bypassed the fortifications advertised by President Vladimir Zelensky.

“The line of defense is where our President Zelensky was photographed. So powerful, five billion must have been poured into it... In fact, they passed from the other side,”

stated Nevkipely.

Nevkipely also said that a few days ago Russian troops were able to occupy Ocheretino, which is of great strategic importance. However, the Ukrainian media prefer to remain silent about this.

As predicted, preparations began for the mobilization of Ukrainians who fled to free and humane Europe.
Now the consulates will not renew the documents of citizens of Ukraine liable for military service (and this is almost all men under 60 years of age and even some women), that is, after some time their stay will become illegal and they will be subject to deportation back to Ukraine where, of course, they'll be sent to the front.

There is no doubt that this is being done in agreement with European countries. Thus, there is a double benefit - to prolong the military conflict with Russia without explicitly sending troops, and to get rid of the burden in the form of Ukrainian refugees, who, contrary to expectations, did not start working for the benefit of the 4th Reich, but en masse get benefits, irritating the local population .
They all love Ukrainians in Europe but only when these Ukrainians die shooting at the Russians.

So, as at all times, the only safe country for Ukrainians is Russia 😎

West bends sanctions rules when it suits them — Kremlin

Dmitry Peskov noted that, "according to some parameters, companies in Europe and other regions can hardly maintain their competitiveness if they completely abandon our products"

"We understand the West’s selective approach. We see that, according to some parameters, companies in Europe and other regions can hardly maintain their competitiveness if they completely abandon our products," the Kremlin official said, commenting on the Canadian government granting permission to use Russian titanium for Airbus.

According to Peskov, "in such cases, Westerners act at their discretion, without paying attention to conventions."

US tries to strong-arm China and Zelensky's bid to bring men home

Washington seeks to drive a wedge between Moscow and Beijing as top US diplomat Antony Blinken visits China; Kiev is trying to force men who fled Ukraine to return home and go to war; and the Israeli army stands ready for an operation in the city of Rafah.

He may also be received by Chinese President Xi Jinping. Meanwhile, the US has openly said that it intends to air its grievances with Beijing, Vedomosti notes.

Moscow issues diplomatic warning to Washington

Russia could downgrade relations with the US if its assets are confiscated, the deputy foreign minister has warned.

The US and its allies have frozen around $300 billion in Russian central bank assets as part of Ukraine-related sanctions, most of which are being held in the EU.

Washington has long advocated for confiscating the funds, so that the money would then be handed over to Kiev for its war effort against Russia. The latest push came on Saturday, after the US House of Representatives approved a bill authorizing the confiscation of Russian money.

The so-called REPO Act, which lawmakers in Washington passed last weekend along with a $61 billion military aid package for Ukraine, authorized the US president to confiscate Russian funds held in American banks and hand them over to Kiev. More than $6 billion of the $300 billion in frozen Russian assets is sitting in US banks.
