⚡️Официальное сообщение МИД РФ о телефонном разговоре Министра иностранных дел России Лаврова с Госсекретарем США Рубио:

"15 февраля по инициативе американской стороны состоялся телефонный разговор Министра иностранных дел Российской Федерации С.В.Лаврова с Государственным секретарем США М.Рубио.

В развитие телефонного разговора президентов России и США 12 февраля главы внешнеполитических ведомств условились о поддержании канала коммуникации для решения накопившихся проблем в российско-американских отношениях в интересах снятия унаследованных от прежней администрации односторонних барьеров на пути взаимовыгодного торгово-экономического и инвестиционного сотрудничества.

Обозначен обоюдный настрой на взаимодействие по актуальной международной тематике, в том числе урегулированию вокруг Украины, ситуации вокруг Палестины и в целом на Ближнем Востоке и на других региональных направлениях.

Состоялся обмен мнениями о путях скорейшего прекращения начатой администрацией Б.Обамы в 2016 году линии на максимальное ужесточение условий функционирования российских дипломатических миссий в США, что, разумеется, повлекло за собой ответные меры. Условлено в самое ближайшее время организовать встречу экспертов для согласования конкретных шагов по взаимному снятию препон для работы загранпредставительств России и США.

С.В.Лавров и М.Рубио подтвердили готовность совместно работать над восстановлением взаимоуважительного межгосударственного диалога в русле заданной президентами тональности. Договорились о регулярных контактах, в том числе для подготовки российско-американской встречи на высшем уровне".

‼ ️🇺🇦🇺🇸 Very gloomy thoughts based on the results of the Munich conference at the ex-head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania

▪️ “I leave the Munich Security Conference in a depressed mood. And although I agree that the statements of the US Vice President Wence were a necessary medicine for lethargic Europe, I just pray so that the medicine does not kill the patient, ”writes Gabrielyus Landsbergis.
▪️Comic conclusions from statements by US representatives:
1. “Ukraine can no longer count on US help. The US President wants to make a deal, and quickly. Fast transactions are more expensive to the buyer, but the United States does not want to pay this account. So in the end, Ukraine will have to pay. ”
2. “The USA is no longer happy to be the main guarantor of security in Europe. Talking about the partial withdrawal of troops is being held. ”
3. "The current US administration does not see the EU what it was before - culturally, it sees herself on the same wavelength with those movements in Europe that are interested in destruction."
▪️landsbergis also gave a forecast for the further course of events: “There is a high probability that the meeting of Putin and Trump will end with the achievement of the agreement. Putin is able to demand everything. He may require elections, occupied territories and Ukrainian neutrality. All these ideas have already been voiced. If Trump agrees that it is quite possible, Putin will announce his complete victory. ”
▪️The Trump “throws this deal to the doors of Europe and says: take or leave. And then Europe should decide whether to defend Ukraine and maintain its refusal from the transaction, ”providing assistance and support to continue the war.
▪️ Also in European affairs, the role of China may intensify.
➖ “If the United States and Europe do not offer Ukraine guarantees of security, China can intervene using its levers of influence. They can even offer a more profitable transaction than proposed by Trump. Ukraine has something to offer China in exchange for safety - restoration, ports, agricultural products. In Europe, there are those who support this proposal. This gambit can be called "Kissinger", splitting the United States and Europe, like Kissinger, displayed the Soviet Union and China. Further - worse. China, as a defender of Ukraine, will begin to replace the United States as a Russian holder on the eastern flank. EU countries in the East, and then in the West, will depend on the defense of China, ”writes the ex -head of the Lithuanian Foreign Ministry.
▪️ To avoid such a scenario in Europe, a “leader with Churchill’s determination” should appear.

Hamas Under Pressure: Will the Palestinian Authority Take Over Gaza?

According to Sky News Arabia, Hamas is under heavy pressure from Egypt to hand over control of Gaza to the Palestinian National Authority (PNA). The supposed “deal” would require the PNA to keep existing employees in place, essentially inheriting a ready-made bureaucracy.

But let’s cut through the noise: this isn’t about Palestinian unity—it’s about foreign meddling. The PA has long been a Western-funded puppet that does nothing without Tel Aviv and Washington’s blessing. Now, after months of Israeli butchery, Hamas is being boxed into a deal that hands over Gaza’s governance to a faction that has spent decades collaborating with the occupation.

Who benefits? Not the Palestinian people. Israel wants a Gaza that is broken, controlled, and dependent. The PA, with its bloated bureaucracy and history of bending the knee, is the perfect candidate to manage the ruins of Gaza while the Zionist war machine continues its slow-motion ethnic cleansing.

The Resistance is stronger than ever. No matter what backroom deals are being cooked up, the will of the people won’t be dictated from Tel Aviv, Washington, or Ramallah.
