#Lavrov: How would react if banned French? Or what would do if banned English? Just imagine banned Swedish. The European mind is unable to imagine this. But the whole of Europe didn’t care a dime about how they were treating Russian. Full: https://t.me/MFARussia/12688

Briefing by Russian Defence Ministry During an inspection of the Azovstal plant Russian servicemen found an isothermal van. 152 bodies of dead fighters and servicemen of the AFU were stored in the van with the broken cooling system.

Iran sending a very strong message to USA: “If You stop us from selling our oil not one drop of oil will cross the Persian Gulf.” – And Greece partnered with USA to steal Iran oil.

Russia is looking at grain sales being settled in rubles for their largest buyers which are Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Iran.

Reports Russia is cutting off gas supplies to Denmark tomorrow because Copenhagen does not want to pay for gas in rubles

Kind of difficult to take Memorial Day seriously when the U.S is funding Nazis now & those who fought to defeat them, including Russians, are being vilified & treated inhumanely while fascists are praised.

Turkish Foreign Minister Cavusoglu: Ankara will not join the anti-Russian sanctions. We will not be connected to the sanctions against Russia and will not allow it to be done through us. We are waiting for Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to visit Turkey on June 8th

European countries will NOT be able to approve a ban on oil imports from Russia. – Media

Lavrov is visiting Saudi tomorrow.

But didn’t you say just a few days ago that if you stopped Russian oil imports that Moscow would be able to sell oil at higher prices in global markets? Now Europe will have to pay higher prices too. Probably rebadged Russian oil.

Asia is turning to China because you neglect it, says East Timor leader

I wonder if Russia understands that for all practical purposes they can set just about any price they want for their oil exports and sell about the same quantity at that price?

Lithuanian consumer gas prices will increase by 40% from July 1st. Price you pay for being brainwashed that Russia is coming to invade you and take control once again. One day historians will look back at 2022 and ask themselves how did Europe lose all grip on reality?

There are now four Turkish banks accepting Russian MIR cards. DenizBank, Turkish Iş Bankası, Ziraat Bankası and Vakifbank.

Turkey accused Ukraine of mining their own ports, which is why ships loaded with grain are unable to leave “Ukrainian mines prevent the withdrawal of ships with grain from Ukrainian ports, a search is underway for a mechanism to solve the problem,” Cavusoglu said.

Wait, why is Azov removing the Nazi-inspired symbols from their insignia, if these symbols never had any Nazi-related significance?

Ukraine and West must act to resolve food crisis. Western countries created a lot of artificial problems by closing their ports to Russian ships, disrupting logistics and financial chains. – Lavrov

US agencies have trained & empowered Nazis and ultra-nationalists at home and abroad to fight Russians in Ukraine The program follows the blueprint established by Western intelligence agencies in Afghanistan and Syria TJ Coles on Operation Cyclone 2.0:

Nina Byzantina@NinaByzantina

The authorities of the breakaway Donetsk republic plan to prosecute Turchinov, Poroshenko, + Zelensky for war crimes. Context: Turchinov ordered the “anti-terrorist operation”—the war against Donbass in 2014. Poroshenko kept it going + failed to adhere to the Minsk agreements.

This is the Ukrainian official who multiple western news outlets used as their sole source to report that Russian soldiers were raping Ukrainian babies to death.

Russia has cut off gas supplies to Denmark. – Media

The Sirius Report@thesiriusreport

Rus never said it would take Kiev in 3 days. West decided that was what they were doing and when that didn’t happen it was a strategic defeat. Quite how anyone imagined Rus could take a city with 3m people with 40k troops beggars belief. If you do you display your ignorance.

#Mariupol resident unloads on #Zelensky – “Fucking Clown”, why doesn’t he come here? Why did they have to destroy the city and make its inhabitants go through hell? He speaks of the #Azov gangs using civilians as a human shields. Russian with Spanish s/t.

Public relations & rebranding doesn’t change the fact that the Azov battalion is a Nazi paramilitary group mostly in control of Ukraine’s military & politics, nor does it change the fact that the E.U, U.S & their propagandist media dismissed this to justify their funding of them.

Russians With Attitude@RWApodcast

Mariupol & St. Petersburg are now sister cities; St. Petersburg Governor Alexander Beglov and Mariupol administration head Konstantin Ivashchenko signed the documents at a meeting at the Mariupol Philharmonic Hall. Head of DPR Pushilin & Russian Senator Turchak were also present

So it appears Finland is continuing to buy Russian gas. Only LNG is more expensive. So much for sticking it to Moscow. It’s pathetic.

Dmitry Peskov says that Moscow doesn’t believe Zelensky’s statement that Ukraine won’t use American MLRS to attack Russian cities: “In order to trust, one must have experience of cases in which promises made have been kept. Unfortunately, there is no such experience at all.”

Alfred de Zayas@Alfreddezayas

Croatian President Zoran Milanovic is right in observing that the Russian ruble is getting stronger and lamenting that EU citizens have to cope with higher prices because of EU/US sanctions that simply don’t work.

Alfred de Zayas@Alfreddezayas

Evidence that sanctions backfire is too obvious to be ignored. And yet, the media does ignore the downside of sanctions — and endlessly repeat their incantations, as if sanctions could finally deliver what we want them to deliver, instead of the opposite.

The media is failing all of us in not explaining to the citizens of democratic countries that their leaders are simply lying to them when they concoct a skewed narrative about the necessity of sanctions.

The US and EU continue repeating the same old lies so well refuted by Henry Kissinger, John Mearsheimer, Jack Matlock and Jeffrey Sachs.

When will the US and NATO abandon their make-believe world and accept that Russia and China exist, that they have certain legitimate security concerns, and that they do not want to pick a fight with us. Why do we unilaterally make them into our enemies?

BREAKING: Russian Armed Forces hit the NATO supply route for Ukraine. Reports say missile strikes on the Beskydy tunnel in Transcarpathia, Lavov Region have been carried out. – Media

Russia have struck a major artery for the shipment of NATO weapons from Europe via the Beskidy railway tunnel. The Beskidy Tunnel is a railway tunnel under the Volovets Pass in the Carpathian Mountains. Confirmed by Ukraine itself.

Russian Foreign Ministry on Zelensky’s statement that U.S. missiles supplied to Kiev will not be used to attack Russian territory: “it is pointless to discuss his promises”

The Sirius Report@thesiriusreport

So it turns out that India is buying Russian oil and a significant percentage of that is then being sold at an additional premium back to the EU.

WH Launching cyber attacks against Rus does not violate Washington’s policy to avoid direct military conflict with Moscow Seriously when are westerners going to realise our nations are run by morons Too many of you imagine by these highly intelligent elites. They are idiots

After 8 years of war and the #Russian intervention, civilians in #Donetsk are still being shelled by the #Kyiv regime, with #NATO weapons. Here the AFU shelled Makiivka, 15km from Donetsk city, killing a five-year-old girl. https://t.me/medvedev_note/

The West has no way to prevent Russia from selling oil to third countries. – Media

If Ukrainians want to Up the ante with dangerous weapons from the West, It’s only natural for Russia to Up the ante with missile strikes on Kiev Oblast, and over all Ukraine.

Reality versus political hyperbole West is accusing Russia of contributing to global food shortages. Only Western countries have imposed sanctions on Russian vessels transporting grain.

The Sirius Report@thesiriusreport

Austria’s OMV has paid for Russian gas under the new Ruble payment arrangement. Note a few weeks ago the Federation of Austrian Industries warned that if Russian gas flows stopped around 300,000 jobs in Austria would be under threat.

tim anderson@timand2037

Wrong kind of #Ukrainian. “We were shelled for eight years, no-one cared, No-one helped us, except for #Russia.” #Donbas

I have come to the conclusion that this war in Ukraine may be the most morally obscene war the U.S. has ever engaged in. Even wars like Vietnam, U.S. rulers sacrifice U.S. solders. But the wholesale sacrifice of Ukraine & its people for U.S. geostrategic goals is hard to watch.

The Sirius Report@thesiriusreport

Note the words of Twitty. This is the reality. Westerners need to accept this and realise why the war has to end. Otherwise many thousands more Ukrainian military personnel are going to die needlessly for a war the west wants to carry on.

Unsurprisingly their are claims that as well as Donetsk and Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions will become part of Russia. That doesn’t necessarily mean that’s the extent of regions joining Russia..

#Lavrov: #Russia and #China are helping form non-exclusive blocs in #Eurasia .. these blocs are slowly globalising. “We never form alliances against others .. but our western friends suffer from many fears and complexes .. superiority complex .. infallibility .. paranoia“.

Every American should read this, even though it was published in the NYT. The brilliant author Chris Caldwell speaks truth to power on how Biden is sleepwalking the US into a global war.

So Washington is only giving Ukr heavier weapons because Kiev agreed not to use them on Russ soil. So what happens if this promise is reneged upon? Washington would then be clearly responsible for a catastrophic escalation of Ukr war because Russian response would be devastating

Russia will strike at decision-making centres if Ukraine uses weapons received from the United States against the territories of the Russian Federation. – Dmitry Medvedev

Zelensky told Newsmax this week that 60 to 100 Ukrainian soldiers are killed and 500 are wounded every day. This staggering human toll is the price of his ticket to Cannes, Davos, the Grammys, and a post-presidency golden parachute. Once he negotiates for peace, the gig’s up.

Richard Medhurst@richimedhurst

The EU literally just banned oil from Russia (mimicking the United States’ actions) because they don’t want to give money to a “dictator”. So Biden is travelling soon to Saudi Arabia to try and bring energy prices down– which is a vibrant democracy, as you all know.

Russia is winning the economic war – and Putin is no closer to withdrawing troops Reality is undeniable.

What a loathsome outfit

@BBCWorld is pushing smear jobs on academics who dare to question the UK foreign policy line of promoting a war nice and far away from the UK.

8 years ago today, the Ukrainian Air Force bombed downtown Lugansk, killing at least eight civilians and wounding another twenty-eight.

Biden’s arrogant anti-Russian sanctions have amounted to a price hike on working class Americans that have so far failed to weaken the Russian economy. His neocon policy accelerates the process of de-dollarization, diplomatic isolation & imperial decline.

It’s now clear how Ukraine is using the longer-range M777 howitzers the US has provided in recent weeks: nothing but terrorist attacks on cities. They aren’t targeting Russian forces, but they just lobbed 60 155mm rounds into Donetsk. They will use the HIMARS systems similarly.

No, the British Empire didn’t just “make mistakes”, with a few massacres here and there. They committed genocide on several continents, produced famines that killed tens of millions of people, and led a human trafficking cartel for 200 years. The violence was systematic.

Biden blaming Putin for inflation is comical. U.S. bans Russian oil imports. (Supply.) Meanwhile, U.S. net exporting its petroleum. U.S. sanctions block or reduce world supply of wheat and other commodities. It’s all Biden’s policy. Flimsy excuse, totally see-through.

Glenn Greenwald@ggreenwald

The Biden Administration is openly planning to pay homage to one its closest allies — one of the most despotic and murderous tyrants on the planet, the Saudi Crown Prince — at the same time it convinces Americans its motive for fighting wars is to defend freedom and democracy.

What about the Basques?

The world in 1945 consisted of 51 States.  Today there are 194 States.  Self-determination is no threat to peace.  On the contrary.

And the time for the Basques to emancipate from Spain and France, from both of them?

As every child wants to emancipate from his parents, every nation strives for independence. As Ukraine separated from the Soviet Union, so too the Donbass separated from Ukraine.

Even at the time, in 2014, Obama’s support for the coup in Kiev seemed a far more consequential act than Bush’s 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Give me a break with this pretend innocence. The U.S. is pouring billions of dollars into one of the most corrupt governments on the planet & people are surprised that Ukrainian gangsters are selling Javelin’s are dark web for $30K!

The West is doing everything it can to prolong the war in Ukraine. Sending billions of $ in weapons, hurting your own people with sanctions.. this is not rational behavior. This is something a warmonger does. The West refused diplomacy in December, and now again the same thing.

The decades of political capital invested in demonising Russia is so great that western nations are prepared to destroy themselves rather than admit that their Ukraine war policies have thus far been an abysmal failure
