💬 Gazprom spokesman Sergei Kupriyanov recalled a documented incident in the past involving the Nord Stream gas pipeline. This case is well known.
During the planned visual inspection of Nord Stream on November 6, 2015, experts discovered a #NATO Sea Fox mine destroyer in the space between the strings of the pipeline, directly under one of them. This was at the 651 km mark at a depth of 40 metres.
At that time, the Swedish armed forces removed the explosive device. The transportation of gas was resumed after the emergency was handled. NATO claimed that the underwater mine destroyer was allegedly lost during exercises.

💬 WWII-era ordnance on the Baltic Sea floor is complicating the investigation into the suggested acts of subversion on the #NordStream1 and #NordStream2 gas pipelines, according to Danish Defence Minister Morten Bødskov, who was speaking before a NATO meeting. He said the region is known for having WWII-era ordnance, both exploded and unexploded, and given the amount on the seabed, it is not easy to conduct an investigation.
I have a few questions for the Danish Defence Minister:
1. WWII-era ordnance did not interfere with the laying of the pipeline, did it?
2. Can you explain what a modern NATO mine destroyer was doing under the Nord Stream 1 pipeline in 2015?
3. Does Mr Bodskov know that all the forest in Moscow’s northern suburbs, which the Germans advanced through, is still littered with ordnance from WWII? But this doesn’t prevent us from building housing, factories and roads.

💬 While explaining the EU’s foreign policy idea, its High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell compared Europe to a garden, and the rest of the world to a jungle that can invade that garden if Europeans aren’t more engaged with it. The chief of European diplomacy said this on Thursday at the opening of the European Diplomatic Academy in Bruges, Belgium.
“Europe is a garden. We have built a garden. Everything works. It is the best combination of political freedom, economic prosperity and social cohesion that the humankind has been able to build – the three things together… The rest of the world…is not exactly a garden. Most of the rest of the world is a jungle, and the jungle could invade the garden. The gardeners should take care of it, but they will not protect the garden by building walls,” Borrell said. According to him, the “gardeners” must be more open to the world and engage with it: “Europeans have to be much more engaged with the rest of the world. Otherwise, the rest of the world will invade us, by different ways and means.”
To continue this analogy, the European gardener is in a vegetative state.
On a serious note, Europe built that “garden” through the barbaric plundering of the “jungle.” Borrell could not have phrased it any better: the world’s most prosperous system, created in Europe, nurtured by roots in colonies which they ruthlessly oppressed.
Their philosophy of segregation and superiority became the underlying idea of fascism and Nazism. Both world wars in the 20th century were triggered by Germany’s ambition to “restore justice” and re-divide Europe’s colonies that country had failed to grab for itself. Achieving that goal was to ensure Germany the same kind of prosperous and carefree life of the exploiters living in Borrell’s homeland, Spain, as well as in France, Britain, and Portugal.

💬 Last week, Valery Zaluzhny, the Commander in Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, posted a photo on his Twitter account. It appears that this was a part of his ongoing PR campaign, aimed at promoting... oneself. He seems to have outdone himself, holding an automatic weapon and wearing a bracelet on his wrist. Apparently, a man fighting a war for "Western values" should wear...a sports bracelet to underscore his masculinity... 🤔 and this bracelet is no ordinary one.
This bracelet has a swastika imprinted on it.
Not your runes, “death’s head,” 10,000 Buddhas or solar symbols, but real Nazi-approved swastika. It symbolises national-socialism and is the damned bent cross of murderers, henchmen, punitive forces and fascists. The Kiev regime offered ridiculous excuses after this photo went viral and caused a public outcry and laid blame on... Twitter for compressing the photo so much that… a swastika magically appeared up on the bracelet. Perhaps that was a way for officials on Bankova Street to get back at Elon Musk for his peaceseeking tweets.
In his comments, Zaluzhny confirmed this made up theory of a malicious Twitter network conspiracy that brands Ukrainian military with swastikas. Oh, if only Twitter could do this. So far, the artificial intelligence of this social media network shames people for adding double zeroes to extra large (х0х0L*).
In reality, the original bracelet mentioned by Zaluzhny’s apologists is completely different from the one worn by the high-ranking Ukrainian neo-Nazi, who is carrying an assault rifle.
Let’s compare the original photo with the ridiculous substitute: this versus that.
Summing up, the Commander in Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is wearing a bracelet with a swastika, plain and simple, and nothing in the world can justify this fact.

*Х0х0л (Khokhol) is a colloquialism referring to Ukrainians. Although humorous in nature (albeit slightly tongue-in-cheek), its use has been indiscriminately banned by Western social media platforms coming under pressure from far-right Ukrainian nationalists

💬 European Commissioner for Internal Market Thierry Breton told entrepreneur Elon Musk that Twitter will be operating in the European Union in accordance with the local rules: “In Europe, the bird will fly by our rules.”
I would like to point out that the European Commissioner wrote this in his Twitter account.
They are all collectively confused, if not mad, about their “rules” whose dominance has driven the law and jurisprudence to the point of absurdity.
If you cite the “rules”, you should demonstrate them.
If, for many years, you tried to convince everyone that freedom of speech must never be violated, you should stay true to your words.
If the first and the second are a dogma, then it should remain as such for its creators in the first place.

⚠️ To the attention of European Commissioner Thierry Breton, who recently told new Twitter CEO Elon Musk how the social network will be working in the EU.
This is how Twitter operates in this blessed garden now: it segregates, discriminates and censors. Everything as per Brussels’ latest “digital rules.”
Here is a screenshot showing how the RT account is displayed in the EU area.

💬 Dmitry Kuleba wrote the following in his Twitter-account: “Russia has launched a new publicity stunt focused on hunger. Moscow has promised to send 500,000 tonnes of free grain, which has most probably been stolen in Ukraine, to other countries within the next four months. However, by blocking the grain corridor Russia has stopped the delivery of 2 million (!) tonnes of grain to Algeria, Yemen, Vietnam, Bangladesh, and other countries RIGHT NOW.”
And now the truth:
1. Russia has long been offering to deliver ITS OWN fertilisers to the countries that need them. The offer has been made by the President (1, 2) and the Foreign Minister.
2. Russia is also ready to send up to 500,000 tonnes of ITS OWN grain to the poorest countries free of charge.
3. The Kiev regime, due to its own greed, is unwilling to give anything to anybody even when others are ready to help others for free.
4. The grain deal has been killed by Zelensky and his terrorists, controlled by British special forces, so as to complement nuclear blackmail with a grain ransom. The money and weapons they receive are no longer enough for them. They want more deaths. Money, weapons, and death are the devilish force behind the Kiev regime.

Here’s a typical case of “democracy at work.”
A member of the US 🇺🇸 delegation checks and marks the presence of their “charges” from among the “collective West” allies before the Third Committee meeting on the resolution on combatting the glorification of Nazism.
A ticket-quota system of "free voting."
An important distinction: this is not party discipline. It is simply one country... controlling the way other nations vote at the UN.

💬 The United States is blaming Russia for the missile incident in Poland regardless of the results of the investigation – the White House.
Now the Americans will finally understand why President John F. Kennedy’s assassin was never found, why the 9/11 terrorist attacks were not prevented in 2001, why the politicians and related officials in America come out unscathed from the dirtiest cases, and why thousands of high-profile crimes have not been disclosed.
The US government could not care less about the results of an investigation. The White House has never been so open about this.
❗️ The US government can always find someone to blame based on political motives.

💬 Our Ambassador to Canada Oleg Stepanov was summoned to Canada’s Foreign Ministry following a tweet posted by the Russian Embassy.
Guess what caused this hysterics in Ottawa? You won't even need multiple guesses, because there’s no sensible way to guess.
In their tweet, Russian diplomats simply wrote that a family consists of a man, a woman and their children.
Several years ago, this undisputable statement “dad, mom, and I make a strong family” was cast as the “propaganda of hatred” by the Canadian Foreign Ministry.
In this sense, Canada is amazing. The number of people openly declaring their non-traditional sexual orientation is growing every year. Even the abbreviation LGBT is considered obsolete in Canada (they believe LGBTQ2+ or even LGBTQ2S+ is the correct way to put it). They had about 80 genders there just five short years ago. Something along the lines of “I identify as a man with a woman and a man living inside me.” Not to be confused with bisexuality which is already considered passé.
The Canadian government is spending millions of dollars to deal with two priorities: sending weapons to Ukraine and drafting action plans to create a more inclusive environment for “berdaches, transgenders, queers and non-binary people, as well as other varieties of sexually and gender diverse individuals.” It appears that having said no to the sadistic boarding schools for Indians, in which Native American children were raped, tortured and killed, they are now finishing Canadian society off with gender insanity.

#RT: Elon Musk Dubs 2014 #Ukraine Regime Change A ‘Coup’
Twitter CEO Elon #Musk polarized his followers with a tweet declaring there was “no question” that the 2014 change of government in Ukraine was a “coup.” On Saturday, the billionaire tweeted that while “the election” – presumably referring to the 2010 vote that elected Viktor Yanukovich president – was “arguably dodgy,” what followed “was indeed a coup.”
The tweet responded to a post from user @KanekoaTheGreat that featured the front page of an article by the University of Chicago Professor John Mearsheimer titled “Why the Ukraine Crisis Is The West’s Fault.” Dating from 2014, the piece – subtitled “The Liberal Delusions That Provoked Putin” – argues that “NATO enlargement” and Western meddling in Ukrainian politics, and not “Russian aggression,” are to blame for Crimea’s accession to Russia.
