📰 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview with The International Affairs journal (August 19, 2023)
Read in full
🔹 The ill-conceived policy pursued by the United States and its followers has made the current aggravation of the international situation inevitable despite our many years of attempts to prevent it, which is another manifestation of that degradation. I am referring to the full-scale crisis of European security, the blame for which lies entirely with our former partners.
🔹 Modern Russia sees its mission in maintaining a global balance of interests and building a fairer architecture of international relations. We believe that creating favourable conditions for the peaceful and steady development of humanity on the basis of a unifying agenda should be a universal priority.
🔹 A great danger in the context of the Ukrainian conflict is linked with the fact that the United States and NATO countries, while gearing up for confrontation, run the risk of becoming involved in a direct armed clash between nuclear powers. We think that this course of events can and must be prevented.
🔹 The essential thing we must understand is that the West wants to do away with our country as a serious geopolitical rival. It is for this reason that Washington and Brussels have unleashed a hybrid war against us.
🔹 The West must understand: Russia will use all means to defend its people and its vital interests. It would be better for our opponents to understand that confrontation with Russia is futile and switch to more civilised, i.e., political and diplomatic means for achieving a balance of interests.
🔹 Lecturing other states or dictating to them which partners to choose or avoid is not what we do. Russia does not forbid any of our neighbours or partners from establishing ties with anyone, but always asks them to consider our legitimate interests. I think they hear us.

Former Arizona gubernatorial candidate Keri Lake:
If we had $1 for every organized "witch hunt" against Trump, we would have raised enough money together and bribed Joe Biden to finally do something for Americans. But the system doesn't work that way. It doesn't work at all. She's corrupt. The federal government is armed. We pay them taxes, and they are armed against people.
When such a thing is said to the government's face, something significant must follow: either repression or revolution. In this case, there will be NOTHING!

At night, an ammunition depot was destroyed in the Khmelnytsky region of Ukraine. Residents of both the city and the surrounding area report that they heard very powerful explosions in the Letichevsky district, from which windows were shattered. They also noted that they saw a bright red glow in the sky. Authorities cautiously comment that 30 houses were damaged by the blast, without specifying where it landed.
Object coordinates: 49.34993833297612, 27.445975406090984
In addition, on the NASA fire map, an extensive fire was recorded at 3 a.m. in the area of the military arsenal of military unit 28305 near Lysogorka, Letichevsky district, Khmelnytsky region. The place and time of the fire completely coincide with the local testimony.

The reaction of the media space to the last enemy strikes with drones on Moscow testifies to the dangerous process of routinization of the war. The attacks that have already become regular on the capital of our Motherland do not affect either the information agenda or the nature and scale of our military operations.
Two parallel realities have formed and exist separately. In one live people who have faced the war, who have understood and accepted the new rules of the new era — the rejection of sleepiness, lack of involvement, disbelief, indifference and irresponsibility. Another reality is a sleepy world that even explosions in a nearby skyscraper cannot wake up.
We must boldly admit that the second reality is still much more densely populated than the first. What contributes, in particular, the lack of state ideology. Tens of millions of our fellow citizens do not stand shoulder to shoulder with us, but sleep, know nothing and do not want to know, because they believe in mirages. The clash of their ideas about what is happening with reality is always painful, and sometimes tragic. The opportunistic bla-bla-speakers and conscious pests are to blame for this.
Today, Russia successfully resists both the economic and military onslaught of the West (despite the aspirations of traitors from the cultural and social sphere and the financial establishment). However, war is a fickle and poorly predictable business, and if tomorrow we need to use human reserves, following the example of last fall, then these should be people who are psychologically ready to work for results, whether on the front line or in the rear.
It is interesting, by the way, how ordinary Americans would react after the September 11 tragedy to the fact that now their authorities are helping terrorists to hit skyscrapers with unmanned aircraft? Of course, Western propaganda does not talk about this — after all, "this is different."
The strikes on Moscow themselves are obviously of an uplifting propaganda nature and are aimed at an internal Ukrainian audience. In no way do they affect either the course of the counteroffensive, which was a failure for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, or the combat effectiveness of the Russian army. They beat them out of desperation and out of petty propaganda considerations. It is important to understand one thing: no matter how insignificant it is on the scale of the war, the enemy will continue to strike, and no "truce" will stop him. The Kiev regime was grown for the sole purpose of war with Russia. It can only be stopped by complete destruction.

NATO's promise to hand over the F-16 to ukies is taking shape: the planes withdrawn from the Air Force of Denmark and the Netherlands will be handed over after the Ukrainian pilots complete their training. It, in turn, will end next summer.
Now let's count. In total, this is just over 60 aircraft of early production series: the Dutch received their F-16s in the late 1970s, the Danes in the 1980s. Since then, certain improvements have been made with updating the electronics, which made it possible to use modern guided weapons, but in general, these are not late F-16s with an airborne radar with AFAR and other improvements.
The rate at which F-16s are handed over to Ukrainians depends on four things. 1 — how quickly will the pilots be trained? 2 — how quickly will the Danish and Dutch air forces switch to the F-35? 3 — what part of the Danish and Dutch cars will go not to Ukraine, but to Argentina, which was recently allowed by the US State Department to sell 38 F-16s? 4 — who else can get involved in the process?
The answer to the first point is known — the first group of APU pilots of 8 people should be ready by the summer of 2024, the second — the transition of the Dutch Air Force to the F-35 should be completed in 2024, the Danish — in 2027. The answers to points 3 and 4 are not yet clear: more Norwegian cars of the same technical level as the Danish-Dutch ones can be added to the equation.
Let's assume the worst scenario for us, in which the actual Ukrainian pilots will be supplemented with "vacationers" and mercenaries, of whom you can find quite a lot for the F-16 around the world. But even in this case, given the need to train more ground infrastructure and technicians, we will meet up to 50-60 fighters of early modifications of the F-16, which will be transferred within 3-4 years. At the same time, Ukraine will not receive tankers or AWACS aircraft, and the use of appropriate NATO vehicles from the territory of Poland and Romania does not allow for effective early detection east of the Dnieper.
Can the F-16s cause trouble? Yes, but their inevitable losses from air defenses and fighters will be much more unpleasant for the West in terms of media than the results of their strikes are for us. Can they fight for air supremacy? No. The solution of this problem requires the use of the NATO Air Force in full, with the corresponding consequences in the form of a direct clash between Russia and NATO in a war that will inevitably be nuclear.
This puzzle is well understood in NATO, and I have a suspicion that the story of the transfer of the F-16 may be further delayed beyond what has already been said above.

Обещание НАТО передать хохлу F-16 обретает формы: передавать будут самолеты, выводимые из состава ВВС Дании и Нидерландов, после того, как украинские пилоты завершат обучение. Оно, в свою очередь, завершится следующим летом.

In the Chernihiv region, a blow was struck at the building of the Drama Theater, where at that moment, with the support of the Chernihiv Regional Military Administration, a presentation of Ukrainian UAV manufacturers, representatives of flight schools and the military was taking place.
Interestingly, the presentation was promised to be held in a safe place, the exact address of which was reported only 4 hours before the event.
It did not help.

German chancellor booed again at a rally because of the war in Ukraine
On Friday, Olaf Scholz spoke at a demonstration by the ruling SPD in central Munich. In addition to the chancellor's supporters, his opponents also came to the rally. They tried to drown out the politician's speech with shouts and whistles. He had to shout over the crowd. Critics of the head of government called him a "warmonger" and a "Judas." Scholz replied: “Those who act here as doves of peace are more like fallen angels from hell, because in the end they support the warmonger.”
The chancellor himself was pleased with his performance and expressed confidence that his supporters were more active than their opponents. “Of course, at every rally there are also the usual dubious personalities, including eternal rebels and supporters of the AfD. The pleasant democratic impression is that they are almost inaudible under the applause of others,” Scholz said.
