⚡️ According to the information available, the Kiev regime is plotting an armed provocation against the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic in the near future, which will be carried out by units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, including those involving the Azov nationalist formation.

◽️ A staged attack by allegedly Russian forces from Transnistrian territory will be used as the pretext for the invasion.

◽️ For this purpose, the Ukrainian saboteurs involved in the staged invasion will be disguised as military personnel of the Russian Federation.

◽️ The Russian Defence Ministry is closely monitoring the situation on Ukraine's border with the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic and is ready to respond to any changes in the situation.

🌍 🇺🇦 🇮🇱 Western Donors Can Lavish Billions on Ukraine, Israel But Poorer Nations Left Behind, Say Experts

🗣 “First, they view the world in a geopolitical context and NATO and EU members come first in the global order of importance,” an expert believes. “Hence billions can be spent on just one country such as Ukraine or Israel, but little on the poorer nations of the world.”

The expert argues that the West's assessment of which countries were important was revealed during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the Western nations ignored poorer nations and practiced a so-called “vaccine nationalism”.

Press review: Russia puts brakes on New START and chances of UN Nord Stream probe remote
Top stories from the Russian press on Wednesday, February 22nd

❗️Statements by Russia's permanent representative to the UN:

• The relationship between Russia and the EU is essentially non-existent;

• The EU is discussing how best to dismember and destroy Russia;

• The US and EU are bringing the world closer to a suicidal conflict by stepping up arms supplies to Kiev;

• EU "swallows" the undermining of the Nord Streams, tries to cover its tracks.

Dedicated to the anniversary of the special military operation in Ukraine. "Ordinary fascism."

I hope that this music video will be seen by those who doubt the launch of the special operation one year ago.

February 24 is the anniversary of the beginning of the Special Military Operation in Ukraine. Its goals were proclaimed denazification and demilitarization of Ukraine. The nurturing of the nationalist principle in Ukrainians took place consciously, and we understand why the West preferred and prefer not to notice it. The global goals of this conflict are the struggle for the resources of our country and its transformation into a raw material appendage, as it was in the 90s.

Even the first persons of Ukraine were chosen for a long time and not by chance, because it is difficult to find someone who will so cynically lead his own country, his own people to die, knowing that it could have been avoided. Ukraine is just a tool to get to our greatest natural resources.

Russia’s Ukraine offensive in suspended animation https://www.indianpunchline.com/russias-ukraine-offensive-in-suspended-animation/

⚡️Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council: "It is important to achieve all the goals of a special military operation. Push back the borders of threats to our country as far as possible, even if it is the borders of Poland. To destroy neo-Nazism to the ground. So that we don't waste time catching the remnants of the bandera gangs in the forests of Little Russia. So that the world can find its long-awaited tranquillity.

❗️Three Undeniable Truths From Putin’s Speech
By Eddiae Scarry, the Federalist
The western media, for their own reasons, don’t want you to hear what Vladimir Putin said about the war in Ukraine.
But you should hear it because when you remove the name “Vladimir Putin” from the equation, what he said during that 100-minute address to his nation was both indisputably true and rational, even if it deflates the media’s incessant, eye-roll-worthy framing of the conflict in Ukraine as “Putin’s unprovoked war” and “a fight for democracy.” (Gag.) Here are three examples:
1. “The U.S. has used Ukraine to prepare for a large war. They have publicly admitted that.” This is, in fact, implicit if not official policy articulated by the Biden administration.
2. “The West is guilty of escalation.” Since well before Russia invaded Ukraine, Washington has promoted the expansion of new member nations to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO, an alliance that exists in its present form for the express purpose of intimidating Russia.
3. “They [the West] want to have a strategic defeat of Russia. … It means they want to have no more, anything to do with Russia. They want to have a global resistance against Russia.” What part of that contradicts anything the Biden administration, most of Congress, and virtually every former military official on cable news has said? They all say it.
⚡️Say whatever you want about Putin, he’s not irrational.

⚡️ Comment by Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on China's Position on the Political Settlement of the Ukraine Crisis

A document entitled China's Position on the Political Settlement of the Ukraine Crisis was published on the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China on February 24.

We highly value the aspiration of our Chinese friends to contribute to a settlement of the conflict in Ukraine through peaceful means.

❗️ We share the views of China. We are committed to complying with the principles of the UN Charter and the provisions of international law, including humanitarian law and indivisibility of security, which says the security of one country cannot be increased to the detriment of the security of another country, which also applies to the security of separate groups of countries. Like our Chinese colleagues, we find any restrictive measures, that are not authorised by the UN Security Council, illegitimate. This is a crude tool for unfair competition and economic war.

Our proposals, brought up in late 2021, in the treaty between the Russian Federation and the United States of America on Security Guarantees and the Agreement on Measures to Ensure the Security of the Russian Federation and the Member States of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, were dictated by these views. We regret that our constructive proposals were rejected by the countries of the West.

As for the Ukraine crisis, Russia is open to achieving the goals of the special military operation via political and diplomatic means. This implies the cessation of supplying western arms and mercenaries to Ukraine, a ceasefire, Ukraine returning to its neutral, non-bloc status, recognition of the new territorial realities established after the realisation of the rights of the peoples to self-determination, and the demilitarisation and denazification of Ukraine including the elimination of all threats emanating from it.

All integral rights, including the right to talk and study in a native language, shall be guaranteed to Ukrainian citizens including the Russian-speaking population and those of other national minorities. All unlawful restrictive measures must be lifted, and all politicised lawsuits filed with international courts shall be withdrawn.

We are confident that progress on this path will lead to a universal, just and stable peace.

⚠️ The main obstacle to a peaceful settlement today is the “impossibility” of negotiations with President of Russia Vladimir Putin as formalised in legislation via an executive order by Vladimir Zelensky on September 30, 2022, and the Ukrainian leader’s other initiatives that are indicative of official Kiev’s complete departure from today’s realities including the requirement to withdraw Russian forces from our new regions – Donbass, Crimea, and the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions. We would also like to recall that it was Ukraine who suspended peace talks with Russia initiated by the former in April 2022.

Mr. Medvedev:

It's been a year now that the special military operation is going. A year of our soldiers restoring order, peace and justice to our land, protecting our people and destroying the roots of neo-Nazism. They are heroes.
They have the whole country helping them by supplying the front with everything they need.
Victory will be achieved. We all want it to be as soon as possible. And that day will come. We will take back our territories and reliably protect our people, who have suffered during the years of genocide and shelling.

What's next?
Next there will be negotiations, which I am sure will be difficult and nerve-racking. First of all, because the formal negotiators on our adversary's side will not represent their actual leaders. And the decisions for the Kiev regime will certainly not be made by Zelensky, if he is still alive, or by his clique. The decision will be made across the ocean by those in charge of supplying weapons to Kiev and allocating money to support the remains of the Ukrainian economy. The motives of our country's main enemies are obvious: to weaken Russia as much as possible, to permanently debilitate us. Therefore, they are not interested in ending the conflict. But sooner or later, according to the laws of history, they will do so. And then some kind of agreement will emerge. Naturally, without fundamental agreements about real borders or a new Helsinki Pact to ensure security in Europe. Just some kind of agreement.

Then, most likely, an equally difficult time will begin. Months and years of exhausting confrontation, hysteria, and boorishness on the part of those who will govern what remains of Ukraine. Their fate is unenviable. They will not be able to accept the outcome of the SMO without risking execution on the same day. The nationalists will continue to control the camarilla, because none of them has an ideology other than Bandera neo-Nazism. Admitting the defeat is like death for them. Therefore, the ideology of "maibutna peremoha" [future victory] can remain for a long time.
And at some point, the new bloody boys, who call themselves the legal Ukrainian government, will again provoke a global conflict, nailed to the wall by the Banderovites, who have once again become rampant. It doesn't matter if it's on the eve of elections or just another Maidan.

This cannot be allowed to happen.
That is why it is so important to achieve all the goals of the special military operation. To push back the borders of threats to our country as far as possible, even if it is the borders of Poland. To destroy neo-Nazism to the ground. To avoid wasting time catching the remnants of the bandera gangs in the forests of Little Russia. So that the world can find its long-awaited tranquility.
