#BRICS
Russia’s chairmanship of BRICS is picking up speed. Over 40 events across three main cooperation areas have already taken place, covering politics and security, the economy and finance, as well as cultural and humanitarian exchanges.
#Ukraine
Just a few days ago EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell admitted clearly once again that the Ukrainian conflict had had a quick peaceful solution since the very beginning, but he personally and on behalf of the European Union did not want the combat to cease. We have talked about this many times (citing Mr Borrell and other EU officials) pointing to the EU’s long-term investments in financing arms supplies to Ukraine, with which they expect to prolong the armed confrontation for at least several more years (in their own words).
This confirms the terrible reality: ordinary Ukrainians are just a tool that Vladimir Zelensky "sold" to the EU members in the name of his own enrichment and immorality, which is used to settle the West’s geopolitical scores with Russia.
#France #NATO #EU
We noted the recent aggressive remarks from the French leadership, which seem to be increasingly frequent. <…> It is noteworthy that the belligerent stance of the occupant of the Elysee Palace is not only met with disapproval among many EU and NATO allies but, crucially, among the majority of French citizens, too.

#Ukraine
Kiev regime has lost all sense of humanity waging war on blocks of flats and civilians. The Kiev regime “leaders” cowardly avoiding accountability for their own failures, resort to all kinds of atrocities just to distract the population from the national catastrophe of historical scale in Ukraine.
#EU
If even one Russian media outlet faces unwarranted restrictions, it will have repercussions for their colleagues (Western journalists) in Russia. This is not a threat or a warning, but a description of an inevitable scenario under certain circumstances that may be orchestrated by the West.
#Neocolonialism
The Westerners are undermining the international currency and financial system that they themselves created. They are ignoring the lawful rights and interests of developing nations. In these conditions, the future belongs to new centres of financial and economic power.

#EU #DoubleStandards
It’s hard to believe, but EU members are now claiming they never expressed a desire to defeat Russia “on the battlefield.” They assert that anyone referencing such statements is supposedly misleading the public.
Official Brussels asserts that the EU maintains a supposedly peaceful stance regarding the Ukraine conflict. This position involves direct fabrications & manipulations, which have become a hallmark of EU diplomacy. For instance, during a European Commission press briefing on May 13, 2024, when a journalist inquired about the EU’s intention to resolve the conflict on the battlefield, the spokesperson, Eric Mamer, responded with a question: “Who started this war, who wants to resolve this on the battlefield? It’s Russia, it’s not the EU.”
The internet remembers everything, & so do we. That’s where we get direct quotes.
#Germany #LeningradBlockade
German authorities stubbornly refuse to officially recognise crimes against humanity, perpetrated by the Third Reich in the USSR during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945, as acts of genocide, primarily the siege of Leningrad. This ensues from the recent reply by the German MFA to a respective demand from the Russian side.
The German side is displaying open hypocrisy & duplicity. I believe that it violates everything, including ethics, morals & legality. Earlier, the German side confirmed at political level that such terrible acts of the German state as the annihilation of the Jews during World War II & the methodical extermination of the Herero & Nama peoples in 1904-1908, amounted to acts of genocide.

#Ukraine
Despite Paris's attempts to conceal the involvement of its military personnel in the conflict, the Kiev regime is deliberately publicising this turn of events in order to once again declare broad international support.
<...>
In addition to France, Poland and the Baltic countries also spoke about the possible deployment of their military contingents. What does that mean? That means that their original plan regarding Ukraine has completely failed. They are frantically looking for new ways to continue this campaign. They are still afraid to tell the truth to the citizens of Ukraine that they have become a hostage and now also a victim of NATO’s reckless gamble led by the United States.
#EU #Sanctions
On May 27, 2024, the European Union introduced another anti-Russia sanctions regime under a far-fetched pretext for alleged human rights violations, reprisals against civil society and the democratic opposition. <...> To call a spade a spade, they have created another openly discriminatory mechanism for punishing Russian citizens for their striving to live in a country free from foreign pressure, to uphold their national interests, to speak Russian, just to be citizens and to love their Motherland.
It is surprising that those living in the blooming EU garden (as Josep Borrell once put it) fail to notice obvious things: Such self-exposing Russophobic stunts merely serve to further consolidate our society that clearly sees the real goals of the European Union and the West with regard to Russia.

💡 EU’s “Green Agenda”: what it promises for the Global South?
Brussels is doubling down on its “green agenda,” aiming to cut fossil fuel use and boost energy efficiency. The focus is on reducing consumption to enhance the EU's energy security and competitiveness. But what does this mean for the Global South?
❌ Major hydrocarbon projects are off the table, and new infrastructure risks becoming obsolete. Recent updates show minimal EU investment in gas projects like the Southern Gas Corridor and Trans-Caspian pipeline.
❗️ For countries seeking EU funds, the stakes are high – not just financial but political. There’s a demand for political alignment and adherence to Western policies.
