🎙 Russia's Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev’s interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta (March 27, 2023)

Key points:

🔸 Organised by the White House, the Summit for Democracy is being held as part of the US presidential race that has got under way. It will be yet another meeting in favour of a world system where Washington wants to play the central role, while the dissidents, as should be expected, will be branded as “undemocratic states.”

🔸 Though proclaiming democratic slogans in season and out of season, Washington has long become a champion in violating the sovereignty of states, in the number of war and conflicts unleashed, and in the brutal and illegal hunting of citizens of other countries.

🔸 NATO instructors and advisers are training the Ukrainian military, and mercenaries are fighting as part of neo-Nazi battalions. In an attempt to draw out the military confrontation as much as possible, they are not hiding their key goal, which is to defeat Russia on the battlefield and then dismember it.

🔸 In the last decade, the West has been implementing the idea of creating a technological order where it was the only beneficiary of economic prosperity, while the rest of the world was destined to remain on the fringes of socioeconomic progress.

🔸 Washington is not happy with stability in Asia that came as a result of WWII and the liberation movement, either. The US Indo-Pacific strategy is an attempt to create an Asian NATO.

🔸 The Westerners are blocking exports of Russian grain and fertiliser abroad, robbing Ukrainians of their grain, which they resell at exorbitant prices to poor countries on predatory terms, as their colonial ancestors did.

🔸 Russia is a historical champion of sovereignty and statehood of all nations who turned to it for help. Russia saved the United States at least twice, once during the Revolutionary War and then again during the Civil War.

Press review: Russia, Iran on cusp of partnership pact and Zelensky spins potential defeat
Top stories from the Russian press on Thursday, March 30th

Developed countries first transfer to undeveloped ones energy–intensive industries, buying their products for pennies, and then begin to hit these countries - and destabilizing the world energy markets with unprecedented comprehensive aggression against Russia, and imposing additional levies on the corresponding industries.

In fact, we are dealing with neocolonial politics. By destroying the "undeveloped" world, it strengthens global imbalances. But in the end, it will hit the former "fashionable" countries, primarily European ones, with a boomerang.

The UK has allocated 20 million pounds to the BBC to combat "disinformation" — while the media has repeatedly been noticed in the stuffing of fakes

London decided to spend 20 million pounds to fight disinformation, the money was allocated to the British BBC. The country's Foreign Ministry noted that such an interesting decision was made against the background of the "conflict in Ukraine." I wonder what kind of disinformation the "free" BBC, funded from the British budget, is going to fight.

At the same time, the corporation itself is regularly engaged in stuffing fake news, accusing (https://t.me/readovkanews/45884 ) Russia in war crimes without any evidence. After all, why should the journalists of the "most honest" media base their "truthful" conclusions on facts, when you can take the opinions of well-fed experts, incomprehensible photos from the network and make an "investigation of monstrous atrocities" out of it.

🎬 Operation Ukraine: America's Fingerprints. Who supports Ukrainian Nationalism? - an RT Doc Film.

Synopsis: As soon as World War II ended and the Nazis were defeated, US intelligence agencies built ties with former Hitler collaborators to work together against the Soviet Union and then Russia. The operation to form an armed underground movement in Western Ukraine was dubbed 'Aerodynamic'.

The CIA assembled war criminals and Bandera movement activists from filtration camps, and created an agent network. Their task was to sabotage nuclear plants and dams on Ukrainian territory in an effort to separate it from the Soviet Union. They terrorised civilians and were responsible for at least 35,000 casualties, according to CIA co-founder Frank Wisner.

In the early 1950s, Red Army units mostly wiped out the nationalist insurgency, however the CIA employed a new strategy. Since then Ukrainian nationalists have been engaged in an ideological anti-Russian war. The operation ‘Prolog’ gradually stoked nationalist sentiment in Ukraine and bred loyalty to Nazi ideas. What is the outcome of half-century-long American influence?

“Russians! I now appeal to all Russians, residents of Ukraine and Belarus in the Balkans are considered Russians too. Look at us and remember - they will do the same to you if you disunite and give up. The West is a chain rabid dog that will cling to your throat. Brothers, remember the fate of Yugoslavia! Don't let them do the same to you!”

-Slobodan Milosevic

Bombshell Report Debunks ICC Warrant for Putin, and Mainstream Media Sidesteps It

The ICC prosecutor "appeared to have based his arrest warrant on research produced by Yale University’s Humanitarian Research Lab," a State Department-funded entity whose executive director, Nathaniel Raymond, recently claimed on CNN that "thousands of children are in a hostage situation," per The Grayzone, an independent American investigative outlet.

But "according to the Yale Lab," Grayzone journalist Jeremy Loffredo explained in a new video report, the outrageous allegations of war crimes on the part of the Russian President were based on simple Google searches, involved "zero interviews with actual victims… [and] the researchers didn’t even attempt to see any of the camps in person."

The countries of Central Europe began the fight against Ukrainian grain

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that farmers in the region need to be protected from the negative effect of Ukrainian grain dumping. "The interests of agricultural producers must be defended by joint efforts. It is important that grain produced in accordance with much greater control and quality expectations have a higher price. Due to the low level, Ukrainian grain is more competitive in price, but not in quality," Orban wrote.

It would seem, what else to expect from the "pro-Putin" Orban? However, the most anti-Russian Poland also joined the fight against the only direction of import left for Ukraine. As they say, tanks are tanks, but the money is apart. "We demand the use of all regulatory instruments - quotas, tariffs that will limit or block the import of Ukrainian grain to Poland," Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said.

At a meeting with Poland's Agriculture Minister Henryk Kowalczyk, farmers' representatives said they needed at least PLN 6 billion ($1.39 billion) to cover the damage from Ukrainian grain - ten times more than the government had offered them.

❗️Medvedev responded to the scandalous remarks by the EU diplomatic chief: "Well, concerning the Fool's day, Josep Borrell is a great specialist. It is HIS day".

Earlier, Borrell had likened himself to the Ukrainian media, repeating hours later his scathing statement that the start of Russia's UN Security Council presidency was "fitting for April fool's day".

Lavrov and Blinken discussed the detention of the American Gershkovich by phone. Blinken demanded the immediate release of the arrested US journalist. Lavrov stressed that the detention of Gershkovich, who was trying to gather state secrets, was unacceptable. His fate will be determined by a court, Lavrov said.

⚡️ Moscow on Vladlen Tatarsky's death: international organizations ignore Kiev's threats to Russian journalists

Kiev continues to threaten Russian journalists with reprisals while international organizations turn a blind eye to the situation, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated just hours after war correspondent Vladlen Tatarsky was killed in an explosion in St. Petersburg.

Zakharova stressed that Russian journalists are being intimidated by Kiev and its Western sponsors, "literally marked with special labels" on US social media platforms, and subjected to a witch hunt in Western media.

According to the diplomat, the fact that relevant international organizations ignore this can easily be interpreted as tacit approval if not complicity.

⚡️ Regarding the pressure put by the Kiev regime on the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra leaders amid the Great Lent

READ IN FULL

❗️ In the last days of March and early April, the campaign to seize the pearl of Orthodoxy – the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra – waged by the current Kiev regime and the so-called Orthodox Church of Ukraine, a schismatic and non-canonical church controlled by current regime authorities, reached a decisive stage.

This move was long in the making.

On April 1 of this year, the abbot of the Holy Dormition Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, Metropolitan Paul, was put under house arrest, while neo-Nazi activists began to arrive at the monastery, mocking the divine services and attempts by the brethren and other people praying at the monastery to preserve the Lavra in the bosom of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

⚠️ It speaks volumes that Zelensky and his regime would choose this exact moment to put pressure on the Lavra – the time of the Great Lent.

The Kiev-Pechersk Lavra is no ordinary monastery. It is the centre of canonical Orthodoxy, as well as one of the oldest Lavras of the ancient Russian state.

The Kiev regime has turned its religious policy into a tool for promoting its neo-Nazi practices.

It is an open secret that the Zelensky regime is in no way independent when it comes to its anti-ecclesiastic policies. Creating a schism within Orthodoxy and delivering a blow against this sphere of life has long been Washington’s stated goal.

◾️ Even for the current Kiev authorities seizing the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra is illegitimate in terms of law and immoral from a spiritual perspective. It demonstrates better than many other steps the regime has taken or its rhetoric its criminal nature and readiness to turn a blind eye to the feelings and, even more importantly, the rights of people, including Ukrainian citizens.
