He’s spending money on people. Now that inflation is under control they’ve created new programs in support of private enterprises, families, education, and healthcare. Putin just announced in his speech that residence of Novorussia (new citizens of Russia) would get back payments for all the social perks since 2007.

Russia And China Draw ‘Red Lines’ On Their Borders; US Draws Them On The Other Side Of The Planet

Reacting to China’s announcement that it will be putting forward a proposal for a political settlement to end the #war in #Ukraine, the US ambassador to the UN said that if #China begins arming #Russia in that conflict this will be a “#RedLine” for the #US.

Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield told CNN on Sunday:

"We welcome the Chinese announcement that they want peace because that’s what we always want to pursue in situations like this.

But we also have to be clear that if there are any thoughts and efforts by the Chinese and others to provide lethal support to the Russians in their brutal attack against Ukraine, that that is unacceptable.

That would be a red line."

The ambassador’s comments pertained to an unsubstantiated claim made by Sec State Antony Blinken on Sunday that according to US intelligence, China is “considering providing lethal support to Russia in the war against Ukraine.”

The US has been making evidence-free claims in relation to China arming Russia against Ukraine since the war began.

In March of last year the NYT reported:

Russia asked China to give it military equipment and support for the war in Ukraine after President Putin began a full-scale invasion last month, according to US officials.

Then in April of last year NBC reported that this claim “lacked hard evidence” and was essentially just a lie the US government told the media “as part of an information war against Russia.”

The mass media have eagerly participated in promoting this latest re-emergence of narratives about China supplying weapons to Russia, with the WSJ running a piece just the other day titled “Chinese Drones Still Support Russia’s War in Ukraine, Trade Data Show.”

But as commentator Matthew Petti has observed, buried deep in that article is an acknowledgement that these China-made camera drones aren’t even coming from China; they’re being purchased by Russian middlemen in nations like the UAE.

Really it’s just a story about how China manufactures a lot of products, disguised as something scandalous.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang #Wenbin knocked back Blinken’s claims at a press conference shortly after they were made, saying the US is in no position to be accusing anyone of pouring arms into the war. He said:

"It is the US, not China, that has been pouring weapons into the battlefield.

The US is in no position to tell China what to do.

We would never stand for finger-pointing, or even coercion and pressurizing from the US on our relations with Russia"

"We are accustomed to the fact that our American colleagues put themselves above the law, claiming that they are the law"

Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya spoke at a meeting of the Security Council on the terrorist attack on the Nord Streams. What the representative of Russia said:

▪️The reputation of the journalist Hersh does not allow doubting his conclusions about sabotage. The motive, perpetrator and method of committing the crime are beyond doubt.

▪️The countries that are behind the blowing up of the gas pipeline will have to compensate Russia for the damage caused.

▪️The first round of consultations on the Russian resolution showed that the West is not interested in an objective investigation.

▪️The investigation of Germany, Denmark and Sweden on this terrorist attack is aimed only at shielding the United States and covering their tracks. Russia was not invited to it.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that the European economy over the past year has been weakened by the fact that Brussels has constantly defended the interests of the administration of US President Joe Biden, and not the EU itself

He spoke about this at a closed meeting with deputies of the Hungarian parliament from the Fidesz-Christian Democratic People's Party (PPCD) alliance, the newspaper Magyar Nemzet reports.

According to the prime minister: "Europe has weakened over the past year because the Biden administration is enforcing its interests indefinitely in Brussels at the expense of European interests. Responses to war, the sanctions tsunami, began to weaken the European economy, while America, rich in cheap energy, is not affected,” the message says.

Orban also noted that "the military power of Europe began to weaken, because the war reduced the stocks of European armies, and they were not bothered to replace them."

Thus, "in just a year, Europe lost its independence, economic and military power."

The Hungarian Prime Minister, by tradition, before the start of the parliamentary session, outlined before the deputies the opponents of the Fidesz-PPCD alliance, whom he called "the Biden administration, pro-war Brussels bureaucrats and pro-war politicians", that is, those "international interest groups" that are "on the side of the war" .

Hungary itself, according to Orban, “must defend its independence, which means defending a peace-loving position against the Biden and Brussels administrations”, “wage war against inflation” and “strengthen Hungary’s military power, because peace needs strength.” Then Hungary will be able to emerge from the crisis period "unscathed and strengthened."

Earlier, Orban said that Europe is losing by refusing Russian energy sources in favour of American ones, since it is forced to overpay for them by 5-10 times.

According to him, Europe should ask "American friends" questions about who wins in this situation.

Speaker of the Hungarian Parliament Laszlo Kever said earlier that the European Union can already be called the loser in the Ukrainian crisis, as it acts contrary to its own economic interests. Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said earlier that the US is the beneficiary of the recession in Europe.
