"If the Russian foreign minister's visit to Serbia is perceived as a threat on a universal scale, things must be very bad in the West."
Lavrov said the decision by Bulgaria, Northern Macedonia and Montenegro to close airspace to his plane was a denial of a sovereign state's right to conduct foreign policy:
"This is another very clear and instructive demonstration of how far NATO and the EU can go in employing the lowest possible means of influencing those who are guided by national interests, not ready to sacrifice their principles, their dignity in favour of the very rules that the West imposes instead of international law."

Is Lend-Lease free? A historical excursion into the past will help make sense of it.
History is cyclical and it is enough to find out who benefits from the war to understand what is happening in the present and not to make mistakes in the future. Sanctions as a way of conducting economic hybrid warfare are demonstrated to us today by the USA.

⚠️ It has been reliably established that fighters of the nationalist battalions, leaving the captured territories and refusing to leave supplies of grain to Mariupol residents, deliberately set fire to a large grain storage facility in the seaport.
▫️As a result, more than 50,000 tonnes of grain have been burnt.
▫️This inhumane crime shows the world community the "true face" of the Kiev regime, which, in fact, uses methods of food terrorism against its own people.
▫️All this is taking place in the context of the full support of the countries of the so-called civilised West and the ongoing hysteria around the false accusations of the Russian Federation in creating a food crisis in the world.
❗️We emphasize once again that in carrying out the tasks of the special military operation, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation treat the local population extremely humanely and do not strike at civilian infrastructure facilities, unlike the Ukrainian armed formations.

🇱🇹🇪🇪The Estonian island faces a blockade due to Lithuania's greed and anti-Russian sanctions.
Estonia's second largest island Hiiumaa may be left without air service to land.
Previously, the Lithuanian airline Transaviabaltika sent planes to it, but it canceled all flights after June 15.
Now the Lithuanians are demanding an additional €300,000 from the Estonian Transport Department for route maintenance due to rising fuel prices.
Otherwise, almost 10 thousand people may be left without normal transport and medical care.
Baltic solidarity in action.

A rally against LGBT people was held in Georgia.
People gathered at the EU office in Tbilisi with posters on which photos of European diplomats were crossed out, reports @SputnikGeorgia.
The protesters tried to burn the rainbow flag. Several people were detained by the police.
For some reason, the Georgian opposition channels have already dubbed the rally "pro-Russian". The logic seems to be this: if you are against LGBT, it means for Russia.

🇪🇺🇷🇺Russia has hit the most painful place in Europe — energy, writes Bloomberg.
Europe's steps have led to a split within the EU, and many countries are "tired of sanctions," the author of the article claims.
Moreover, according to Bloomberg Economics, Russia's oil and gas revenues will amount to about $285 billion this year, which will compensate for the freezing of Russian foreign exchange reserves.
The paradox: The sanctions are imposed by the European Union, and Russia is to blame and "beats".

Ukraine begins to blackmail the global world with hunger
This follows from the threats of the head of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine A. Danilov who said: "If the issue is not resolved that our country is safe, no grain will go anywhere to anyone."
Now it is clear who prevents the export of grain already purchased by other countries from the country. It shows the complete inadequacy of the Ukrainian side and that it is much more reliable to negotiate with Putin.

Large analytical research from Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) on the situation in the world economy. Plenty of statistical data. However, main thesis that "the Russia’s war in Ukraine" is slowing and reversing development is flown. The main reason for the broken logistics is not the war/operation, but the Western sanctions against Russia. Report admits: "A re-division of the world into blocs separated by barriers would sacrifice some of the gains from specialisation, economies of scale and the diffusion of information and know-how. These changes would diminish the efficiency gains from having a global trade and financial system with a single dominant reserve currency." However, the times of $ as that single currency are gone (or going). It appears, that those barriers and divisions are damaging world economy more than Russian, which is just becoming more self-sufficient. "All that does not kill us makes us stronger" (Friedrich Nietzsche).
The world is paying a heavy price for Russia’s war in Ukraine. It is a humanitarian disaster, killing thousands and forcing millions from their homes. The war has also triggered a cost-of-living crisis, affecting people worldwide. When coupled with China’s zero-COVID policy, the war has set the global economy on a course of slower growth and rising inflation - a situation not seen since the 1970s. Rising inflation, largely driven by steep increases in the price of energy and food, is causing hardship for low-income people and raising serious food security risks in the world’s poorest economies.

ANKARA, 8 June. /TASS/. Russia will not take advantage of the demining of Ukrainian ports for military purposes and agrees "in one way or another" to issue appropriate guarantees. This was stated on Wednesday by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at a press conference following talks with his Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu.
Moscow, according to the minister, is ready, through the mediation of the UN, to discuss with Kyiv the export of Ukrainian grain, but the solution of this issue depends only on Ukraine. At the same time, the meeting of Russian leader Vladimir Putin with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, who reaffirmed readiness for it the day before, is possible only after the resumption of the negotiation process as a whole, Lavrov stressed.
On the export of Ukrainian grain
Ankara considers it realistic to create a mechanism for the safe export of grain from Ukrainian ports with the participation of Russia, Ukraine, Turkey and the United Nations, Cavusoglu said. According to Lavrov, Moscow is ready, in coordination with Ankara, to ensure the safety of ships leaving Ukrainian ports, the problems are only in the position of Kyiv, which until recently refused to clear its own territorial waters: “But if now, as our Turkish friends tell us, the Ukrainian side is ready to ensure the passage <...>, then let's hope that the problem will be solved. <...> If the Kyiv authorities have matured, we will only be happy to cooperate."
Russia, the minister noted, is ready to meet with representatives of Kyiv through the mediation of the UN, but the participation of the latter "except for some symbolism <...> will not add anything", to solve the problem it is enough that the Ukrainians "let the ships out of their ports."
At the same time, Lavrov stressed that the situation with Ukrainian grain, which the West and Kyiv itself are trying to transfer "into the category of a universal catastrophe," has nothing to do with the global food crisis: "The share of this grain in question is less than 1% of global wheat production.
About security for Ukrainian ports
"We guarantee <...> that, when and if Ukraine goes to demining and allows the withdrawal of ships from its ports, we will not use this situation in the interests of the ongoing special military operation. These are guarantees of the President of Russia, we are ready to formalize them either in a different way," Lavrov said.
On the possibility of a meeting between Putin and Zelensky
The opportunity for a meeting between Putin and Zelensky, the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry stressed, will appear only after the resumption of negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv as a whole: "First, it is necessary that the negotiating teams resume work."
Lavrov called the Ukrainian president's approach to negotiations frivolous: "Zelensky wants a meeting for the sake of a meeting, he has seven Fridays a week <...>." At the same time, the resumption of the dialogue depends on the position of Kyiv, which has not yet responded to the Russian version of the agreement presented in mid-April: "The ball is on the side of the Ukrainians for almost two months."
In Ankara, according to Cavusoglu, they see an opportunity to resume negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv and are ready to organize, among other things, a meeting of the Russian and Ukrainian leaders. As the minister noted, Turkey understands Ukraine's dissatisfaction with the republic's refusal to join the anti-Russian sanctions, but "it tries to maintain a balanced policy from the very beginning and not try to please any of the parties."

On the behaviour of representatives of Ukraine
The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry called the behaviour of Ukrainian ambassadors in a number of Western countries unacceptable and boorish: "I am also sometimes reproached for not choosing my expressions much, but still strong expressions are one thing, and the meaning of what is said is another thing." According to him, he briefly discussed this topic with Cavusoglu, and they "have a common understanding that it's better to talk decently after all."

CHISINAU, 8 June. /TASS/. Ex-president of Moldova Igor Dodon announced the preparation of the military and political accession of the republic to Romania and warned of the danger of the country being drawn into a "bloody regional war".
"The military and political accession of our country to the territory of Romania is being prepared, with the rejection of neutrality. <...> To prepare a technical association, it was necessary that the Republic of Moldova demonstrate its inability to independently ensure economic, energy and territorial security. It was necessary to demoralize citizens so that they stopped believing in their own country," Dodon wrote on his Telegram channel on Wednesday. He paid no attention to the fact that today there is a threatening situation in the field of energy, food security, and the social sphere. The crisis is aggravated by the accession of Moldova to anti-Russian sanctions, consultations on the need to increase the defence capability of Moldova by Western countries. "There is a real danger of being drawn into a bloody regional war and losing statehood," the ex-president believes.
According to him, "it is clear that [Moldovan President] Maia Sandu and her external masters are following the Ukrainian scenario, provoking a deliberate destabilization of the situation," while the West "wants to use Moldovans as cannon fodder in the geopolitical battle that is currently being waged in this region." "In fact, all these armament processes and anti-Russian hysteria are organized on purpose to justify the presence of NATO troops on the territory of the Republic of Moldova," he said.
Discussions about joining Romania
In April of this year, the former Prime Minister of Moldova, Iurie Leanca, said that the republic should unite with Romania if the Russian army "comes close to the country's borders." He added that during the period of leadership of the Moldovan government (2013-2015) he found himself "in a similar situation" in 2014 and he "had such agreements" with the leadership of Romania.
A number of extra-parliamentary political parties in Moldova and Romania have been promoting the idea of uniting the two countries for many years with the tacit consent of the pro-European governments in Chisinau. According to public opinion polls, they have not yet received wide support.
After the collapse of the USSR, Moldova declared independence, but the politicians of neighbouring Romania consider this territory a part of their country and advocate their unification. In 2018, Moldovan parties in favour of unification with Romania celebrated the centenary of the events of 1918. Then Bucharest sent troops to the territory of Bessarabia, and the Sfatul tsarii (Council of the Territory) created in Chisinau voted for its unification with the neighbouring country. In June 1940, as a result of the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, Romania returned this territory to the USSR, which did not recognize its annexation.
The Romanian authorities have not yet ratified the basic political treaty with the republic.

This is a big image blow for Bankova (Presidential Administration of Ukraine). If the local elite goes over to the side of the Russians, this means that people will gradually perceive the “new reality”, and by the end of the year these regions will completely live in a “different world” from Kyiv.
