🇷🇺🇺🇸 Comment by the Russian Embassy in the United States
📌 We have noted increasingly frequent comments in recent days coming from White House and State Department concerning the Russia-Belarus military-nuclear cooperation. They once again accused us of “irresponsible and provocative” behavior.
📌 We would like to emphasize that it is the sovereign right of Russia and Belarus to ensure their security by means we deem necessary amidst of a large-scale hybrid war unleashed by Washington against us.
📌 The measures we undertake are fully consistent with our international legal obligations. As Minister of Defense, General of the Army Sergei Shoigu stated, Russia is not transferring nuclear weapons to Belarus: the control over them and decision on their use remain with the Russian side.
📌 Before blaming others, Washington could use some introspection. The United States has been for decades maintaining a large arsenal of its nuclear weapons in Europe. Together with its NATO allies it participates in nuclear sharing arrangements and trains for scenarios of nuclear weapons use against our country.

The War in Ukraine Was Provoked—and Why That Matters to Achieve Peace
By recognizing that the question of NATO enlargement is at the center of this war, we understand why U.S. weaponry will not end this war. Only diplomatic efforts can do that.
George Orwell wrote in 1984 that "Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past." Governments work relentlessly to distort public perceptions of the past. Regarding the Ukraine War, the Biden administration has repeatedly and falsely claimed that the Ukraine War started with an unprovoked attack by Russia on Ukraine on February 24, 2022. In fact, the war was provoked by the U.S. in ways that leading U.S. diplomats anticipated for decades in the lead-up to the war, meaning that the war could have been avoided and should now be stopped through negotiations.
Recognizing that the war was provoked helps us to understand how to stop it. It doesn’t justify Russia’s invasion. A far better approach for Russia might have been to step up diplomacy with Europe and with the non-Western world to explain and oppose U.S. militarism and unilateralism. In fact, the relentless U.S. push to expand NATO is widely opposed throughout the world, so Russian diplomacy rather than war would likely have been effective.
The Biden team uses the word “unprovoked” incessantly, most recently in Biden’s major speech on the first-year anniversary of the war, in a recent NATO statement, and in the most recent G7 statement. Mainstream media friendly to Biden simply parrot the White House. The New York Times is the lead culprit, describing the invasion as “unprovoked” no fewer than 26 times, in five editorials, 14 opinion columns by NYT writers, and seven guest op-eds!
There were in fact two main U.S. provocations. The first was the U.S. intention to expand NATO to Ukraine and Georgia in order to surround Russia in the Black Sea region by NATO countries (Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, and Georgia, in counterclockwise order). The second was the U.S. role in installing a Russophobic regime in Ukraine by the violent overthrow of Ukraine’s pro-Russian President, Viktor Yanukovych, in February 2014. The shooting war in Ukraine began with Yanukovych’s overthrow nine years ago, not in February 2022 as the U.S. government, NATO, and the G7 leaders would have us believe.
Biden and his foreign policy team refuse to discuss these roots of the war. To recognize them would undermine the administration in three ways. First, it would expose the fact that the war could have been avoided, or stopped early, sparing Ukraine its current devastation and the U.S. more than $100 billion in outlays to date. Second, it would expose President Biden’s personal role in the war as a participant in the overthrow of Yanukovych, and before that as a staunch backer of the military-industrial complex and very early advocate of NATO enlargement. Third, it would push Biden to the negotiating table, undermining the administration’s continued push for NATO expansion.
The archives show irrefutably that the U.S. and German governments repeatedly promised to Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev that NATO would not move “one inch eastward” when the Soviet Union disbanded the Warsaw Pact military alliance. Nonetheless, U.S. planning for NATO expansion began early in the 1990s, well before Vladimir Putin was Russia’s president. In 1997, national security expert Zbigniew Brzezinski spelled out the NATO expansion timeline with remarkable precision.

Nazi documents reveal that Ford had links to Auschwitz
Newly released papers may hamper US firm's legal battle against slave labour claims
Julian Borger in Washington for The Guardian
Nazi documents show the Ford Motor Company was one of 500 firms which had links with Auschwitz...
Although it was unclear how deep or extensive Ford's contacts with the camp administration were, the documents are likely to provide ammunition for former slave labourers who are suing the company in a US court over claims that they were forced to work in the Cologne plant run by Ford's German subsidiary.
The list of industries linked to Auschwitz was among Nazi-era documents recently handed over by Moscow, where the camp archive has been kept since the end of the war.
A total of 1.1m people, 90% of them Jews, are thought to have died in the camp in the southern Polish town of Oswiecim.
The papers discovered include construction plans, orders for raw materials and reports. They also name the German industrial giants Krupp, Siemens and IG Farben.
Jacek Turczynski, the head of a foundation representing Nazi-era slave labourers, said: "The list includes Ford, but we do not have any other details."
He added that some of the companies listed used slave labour, while others only inquired about the possibility of using Auschwitz inmates as workers. It has not emerged how far each of the named companies was implicated.
"It could have been just correspondence, they could have supplied some equipment," Barbara Jarosz, the head of the Auschwitz museum, said.
Ford has previously acknowledged that its German subsidiary, Ford Werke AG, used slave labour at its Cologne plant, and is fighting a class action lawsuit by former labourers in a New Jersey court.
The car firm's lawyers argue that the Michigan-based parent company lost control of its German operations when the war broke out and the Cologne plant was seized as "enemy property".
Jim Vella, Ford's global news director, issued a statement saying: "Whatever occurred at the Cologne plant during world war two was and is the responsibility of the German government, as successor to the Nazi regime.
"Wartime reparations claims historically have been resolved by government-to-government agreements and that is how this matter should be resolved, too."
Ford has also argued that the statute of limitations on the victims' claims had expired.
...
One of the former slave labourers suing Ford is Elsa Iwanowa, 74, who has testified that she was abducted as a teenager along with 2,000 other children from a Russian village and forced to build military vehicles at the Nazi-run Ford plant.
The lawsuit, the first of its kind against a US company, was inspired by the success of Nazi victims in securing reparations from Swiss banks which had profited from Nazi wartime deposits.
It claims Ford's German plant "became an eager, aggressive and successful bidder for forced labourers", and alleges that senior Ford executives knew that thousands of workers were being abused.
The US district judge in the case, Joseph Greenaway, is due to rule next month on Ford's motion to dismiss the case.
The firm has called the former US secretary of state Warren Christopher as a witness to testify that former US administrations have upheld the principle that governments should decide war reparations rather than the courts.
However, if the newly unearthed documents show that Ford Werke AG was deeply involved in the operations of the death camp, a dismissal is less likely.
Ms Jarosz said archivists were still reviewing the Auschwitz documents to establish the names of slave labourers used by some of the companies involved.
Victims' organisations say there are detailed files with the names of 100,000 workers still in the Moscow archives, which have yet to be released.

May 28 (Reuters) — U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham disputed Russian criticism of his support for Ukraine on Sunday, saying he had simply praised the spirit of Ukrainians in resisting a Russian invasion with assistance provided by Washington.
Graham, shown in a video clip of his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Kyiv on Friday, acknowledged his host's praise for military assistance valued at $38 billion since the outset of the conflict in February 2022.
He described the help as "the best money we've ever spent".
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov denounced Graham, suggesting his comment on U.S. financial assistance was linked to a later remark that Russians "are dying" in the conflict.
But the release by the Ukrainian president's office of Graham's complete remarks showed there was no such link.
Graham said he was visiting on the 457th day of a war that Russia had assumed would be completed within three days and Graham said Ukrainians resisting the invasion reminded him of "our better selves in America. There was a time in America that we were this way, fighting to the last person, we were going to be free or die."
"Now you are free," Zelenskiy responded in the encounter. "And we will be."
Graham replied: "And the Russians are dying."
Zelenskiy then added: "Yes, but they came to our territory. We are not fighting on their territory."
Peskov and other Russian officials directly linked Graham's praise for the benefits of U.S. assistance to his comments on Russians dying in the conflict.
Initial extracts of the conversation released by Zelenskiy's office had not made clear that the two remarks were made in different parts of the conversation.

Russian victory in the Ukrainian conflict is the best outcome for the Western elites
Why Western politicians should pray to God, (if only they know how) for the Russian victory in the ongoing conflict?
First of all, is there any alternative to the Russian victory? Well, if there is — it certainly is not a military defeat. That option is non-existent. According to the Russian military doctrine, if there appears an existential threat, nuclear weapons will be used. That, probably, will end the world the way we know it, and according to Putin: "We (Russians) will go to heaven, and they (Westerners, enemies) will just croak because they won’t even have time to repent.”
However, there may be some other not so obvious options. There could be some kind of a draw, a frozen state of the conflict, as it lasted from 2015 until February 2022. Similar to some new version of "Minsk agreements". Military it may be a draw, but politically that will certainly mean that Russia has lost and is politically and morally defeated.
It is also obvious that some of the representatives of the Russian elite are not very keen to continue the fight until the complete victory (achievement of all the objectives of the Special Military Operation), but are rather more interested in continuation of their comfortable lifestyle and doing their convenient "business as usual". It will not be possible for them anymore. They still will be treated as "accomplices" and will be always found guilty and made to pay for everything and anything. There are no "good Russians" in the eyes of the Western elite. However, in their selfish arrogance they do not realise it.
What is important to note, that in both of those options: frozen conflict or betrayal of the elite — the current regime in Moscow will not sustain itself. In that situation, Putin will not win the 2024 elections, and most likely he will not even try to run for president any more.
Who do you think will come to power? Followers of Navalny? Some liberals and cosmopolitans? Anyone who is aware of the sentiments in Russian society will tell you that it's completely impossible.
More likely that the new leader will be patriotic and pragmatic (with a touch of demagoguery). What about Yevgeny Prigozhin (PMC Wagner founder) who has witnessed the death of his comrades because of the power struggle with the bureaucracy and top brass in Russian MOD, which see him as a bigger threat than Ukrainian counteroffensive? He also has spent nine years in the Soviet penitentiary system for robbery. He knows it all inside-out and has no allegiance to the system, but may count on popular support. Or it may be Viktor Bout, who has spent ten years in American prison and has all reasons to be biassed in his political preferences. Recently he spoke in support of the Russian Military Operation in Ukraine and joined Liberal-Democrats (do not be misguided by the name of the party — it is rather right-wing than liberal). Eventually and most likely it will be somebody we don't know anything about, apart from that he would be a battle hardened veteran of Ukrainian war and would want to fix all the problems of the Russian state machine. Russia will become only stronger, but also — angrier.
So, dear Western comrades, your best friend is Putin. For him to remain in power after 2024, Russia should get a clear win in the Ukrainian war. Then he victoriously will remain in the Kremlin and continue patiently building opportunities for cooperation with the Western "partners" and work out mechanisms for expressing concerns and being heard in a new multipolar reality.

What about Yevgeny Prigozhin (PMC Wagner founder) who has witnessed the death of his comrades because of the power struggle with the bureaucracy and top brass in Russian MOD, which see him as a bigger threat than Ukrainian counteroffensive? He also has spent nine years in the Soviet penitentiary system for robbery. He knows it all inside-out and has no allegiance to the system, but may count on popular support. Or it may be Viktor Bout, who has spent ten years in American prison and has all reasons to be biassed in his political preferences. Recently he spoke in support of the Russian Military Operation in Ukraine and joined Liberal-Democrats (do not be misguided by the name of the party — it is rather right-wing than liberal). Eventually and most likely it will be somebody we don't know anything about, apart from that he would be a battle hardened veteran of Ukrainian war and would want to fix all the problems of the Russian state machine. Russia will become only stronger, but also — angrier.
So, dear Western comrades, your best friend is Putin. For him to remain in power after 2024, Russia should get a clear win in the Ukrainian war. Then he victoriously will remain in the Kremlin and continue patiently building opportunities for cooperation with the Western "partners" and work out mechanisms for expressing concerns and being heard in a new multipolar reality.

The Ministry of Justice of Russia has included Greenpeace in the list of organizations whose activities are recognized as undesirable on the territory of the Russian Federation
The Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation also recognized the organization as undesirable in Russia, citing attempts to interfere in the internal affairs of the country, anti-Russian propaganda and financing of foreign agents.
"The list of foreign and international non-governmental organizations whose activities are recognized as undesirable on the territory of the Russian Federation includes the international non-governmental non-profit organization Greenpeace International (Stichting Greenpeace Council) (Netherlands)" , the message says.
In large cities, Russians encounter Greenpeace representatives in green vests in crowded places: the Greenpeace people first offer to answer a few questions about their attitude to waste recycling methods, forest fires in Russia and other environmental issues, and then, in a rather insistent form, they offer make a donation to the organization.
