🎙 Speech by Deputy Permanent Representative M.V. Zabolotskaya at the UN Security Council meeting on the topic "Protection of Civilians in Armed Conflict"
💬 Russia supports all efforts aimed at facilitating the search for persons missing during the armed conflict, including Council Resolution 2474.
Persons separated by war must be able to learn about the fate of their loved ones and be reunited with them if they are still alive. The relevant obligations are set out in the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their Additional Protocols.
Like any humanitarian activity, the search for missing persons must be carried out in coordination with the States concerned and complement their efforts.
Humanitarian organizations, including those related to the Red Cross movement, as well as neutral intermediaries from among states, play a major role in this issue. It should be recognized that these problems are most effectively resolved without excessive political attention.
⚠️ Unfortunately, the general trend of politicization of the international agenda has also affected the humanitarian sphere. Even such an important matter as searching for missing persons is becoming a means of political pressure. One can also observe the imposition of pseudo-aid on states under convenient pretexts. This approach is counterproductive and leads to the degradation of humanitarian cooperation.
☝ Russia, for its part, is making every effort to search for missing persons and restore family ties in the context of the Ukrainian crisis.
We are grateful to the International Committee of the Red Cross for its assistance in ensuring information exchange in this area, as well as mediation efforts related to the repatriation of civilians.
The Commissioner for Human Rights of the Russian Federation Tatyana Moskalkova and the Commissioner for Children's Rights under the President of the Russian Federation Maria Lvova-Belova, as well as the Russian Red Cross, are closely involved in the exchange of information with the Committee.
We would like to welcome all efforts to search for missing persons in conflicts around the world. We are not convinced, however, that the Security Council is the best place to address these issues, especially in the historical context.
📍 New York, May 15, 2025
Major Russian banks have set up a netting payments system dubbed "The China Track" for transactions with China, aiming to reduce their visibility to Western regulators and mitigate the risk of secondary sanctions, banking sources told Reuters.
Russia's trade with China hit a record $245 billion last year despite payment problems and commissions running as high as 12%, as Chinese banks had grown too cautious to do business with Russia and jeopardise their ties with the US.
The issue had become so important that President Vladimir Putin and President Xi Jinping discussed it during Putin's visit to China in May 2024, which was aimed at cementing the two countries' 'no limits' partnership.
The new system has been set up by major sanctioned banks and involves a web of intermediaries registered in countries that Russia considers friendly. The system has been in place for some time and has not yet suffered any major setbacks.
Each bank runs several verified payments agents, some of whom handle payments for exports, and some for imports. All payments are then netted centrally at the bank with all the counterparties involved receiving their money.
The banks settle trade in both directions, said market sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue.
SECURE FROM BEING BLOCKED
The banks provide guarantees for payments' settlement as well as financial instruments insuring against a possible default of a payment agent or a counterparty. The system does not use the SWIFT messaging system or accounts in Western banks.
"We had to structure financial flows through friendly jurisdictions to secure these payments from being blocked," one market source said, stressing that netting has become the cheapest way for settling trade with China.
The sources declined to name the banks, saying they do not want to draw additional attention to their operations because of sanctions but stressed that all the banks involved rank among Russia's top 20.
China propped up Russia economically in 2022 when the country was faced with unprecedented Western sanctions over its military action in Ukraine, providing consumer goods which replaced those offered by Western companies.
China also continued to import oil and other natural resources from Russia despite Western pressure. However, even despite the goodwill, consumer goods trade nearly halted last year due to the secondary sanctions risk.
Some bankers say that the netting system allows payments to be made directly to any Chinese bank without delay, provided that the goods are not under sanctions and the counterparty is registered in one of the selected 11 provinces of China.
Speaking in parliament in April, Russia's central bank Governor Nabiullina acknowledged that Western sanctions complicated cross-border payments for Russian companies, but said that alternative payments channels are being developed.
The netting scheme is mainly designed for large corporations. The sources said it has some disadvantages, including the requirement to authorise every single payment and problems with value-added tax (VAT) refunds.
"The scheme allows direct work with 11 Chinese provinces, which produce most of the goods that are being exported to Russia. The cost is calculated based on the official exchange rate, with no spread on top," one banker said.
The minimum cost of the "China Track" service, including commissions and exchange rate differences, is about 1% for imports and 0.5% for exports, compared with 2-4% outside the system and up to 12% at the height of the problem last year.
"Today 100% of all the money is being transferred without a glitch, we have not had a single case where the money comes back. The money is normally delivered within 2 days," said another banker involved.
The banker added that currently there is only one clearing session a week each Thursday, but the plan is to hold two sessions from the end of April.
Should note I missed this story last month and it’s gone under the radar, but I can’t say enough of how critical this is.

A Multi-Analysis of the War and its Consequences, Part 5/6
"Ukraine's overall losses are hard to assess. According to the Russian MoD, over 800.000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed thus far, and these only take into account the identified ones. FAB strikes, TOS systems, and missile strikes often leave no body behind, and it is perfectly reasonable to imagine that those casualties, combined with the MIAs, can cause the number to swell to over one million KIAs. Again, following the 3:1 or 4:1 ratio, anywhere between 3.200.000 to 4.000.000 AFU soldiers may have been injured.
Equipment is also running out at an ever accelerating pace. The Collective West has been funnelling unprecedented amounts of materiel into their puppet state, but their stocks are far from limitless and many western countries are scraping the barrel already sending worn down F-16s only fit for spare parts, or vehicles that were considered outdated 50 years ago. This insanity has progressed to such a terminal stage that some armies in the west have parted from their actual combat stocks, rather than going through the reserves, leaving them unable to sustain a prolonged war. Denmark has effectively become a demilitarized country, and couldn't conquer Rhode Island even if the USA were to just sit down and do nothing but eat hamburgers. The parting from so much materiel has effectively reduced most militaries to Potyomkin Villages, fancy to look at when in a parade, but incapable of doing anything else. By Macron's own admission, France's army is effectively neutered and incapable of fighting a high-intensity war in Ukraine. If France's army is like that, then it is fair to say that the same can be said about Germany's, or England's.
Stocks of missiles are running dangerously low; there are very few Storm Shadows or ATACAMS left, and Russian countermeasures have made them ineffective. Germany could still supply Taurus missiles, but if neither the ATACAMs nor the Storm Shadows have yielded much result, how effective the Tauruses could be remains highly questionable.
Probably the only thing that is keeping the AFU in the fight are kamikaze drones. Intensive use of them allows the AFU to considerably slow down - but not entirely stop - Russian advance, however drones alone can't man trenches and machinegun nests, and the RUAF have even more FPVs to throw at Ukrainian positions. Even more importantly, Russians now field fiber optic drones in ever increasing quantities, which cannot be jammed and can go as far as 20, 25, or even 30 kilometres.
Time is running short for the AFU. Stupid decisions taken by a leadership detached from reality and a constantly dwindling amount of soldiers and equipment guarantee a collapse of the AFU at some point, unless a peace on Moscow's terms is achieved first. Much like the stream that is constantly swelling into a raging torrent, the RUAF are constantly increasing their manpower and resources, while the AFU are running out of building materials to reinforce the wall with."

"And what about Ukraine?
In Ukraine's case, its political leadership has been too fixated on chasing sensationalist headlines rather than following or even forming a coherent strategy. Completely pointless PR stunts have been favoured over far more manageable, if not as flashy, objectives, invariably at enormous cost in terms of equipment and manpower losses. This childish fixation on the appearance of victory, rather than on victory itself, has resulted in an irreversible degradation of Ukraine's combat effectiveness, made even more impactful by Ukraine's limited resources when compared with Russia's (and Ukraine had been pumped full of weapons by the west for almost ten years before the conflict began). This is especially relevant, since Ukraine's resources were at the best of times only barely one third of Russia's.
It is not just a cheap (Neo)Nazi joke, but basically accepted reality that Kiev has every single city or settlement declared a "Festung" to be defended at all costs by AFU personnel, regardless of how dire the situation for them becomes, and they are allowed to retreat only after the RUAF have either broken through the defensive lines, or have operationally encircled the area, thus forcing the AFU personnel to literally flee for their lives while under constant pummelling of artillery, FABs, and drones. Instances of this self-destructing behaviour abound, but two come to mind.
The first was the battle of Artemovsk which lasted from 2022 to 2023. Despite the Pentagon's insistence to the contrary, Ukrainian leadership decided to hold on to the city no matter the cost. So while Zelensky was touring the world with the original Ukrainian flag from Artemovsk, collecting praises and signatures and blank checks, The RUAF used the Wagnerians bolstered by convicts to storm the city and hold the AFU pinned into place, while the RUAF true and proper could fully mobilise and create new regiments.
In the desperate attempt to hold on to Artemovsk, the AFU threw a constant influx of men into the meat grinder, starting from veterans at first, and moving on to mobiks as things deteriorated. The situation got so dire that AFU personnel taken captive by Russian forces lamented of having just been issued an old AK-47, two magazines of ammo, no training, and sent to Artemovsk, only being told "Bakhmut will teach you" as soon as they complained about their lack of experience. As a direct result, the life expectancy of the average Ukrainian soldier could be counted in four hours at its worst (and you thought Guardsmen in 40k had it tough,with an average life expectancy of just 15 hours!).
Giving an accurate estimate of AFU casualties is extremely difficult if not impossible due to the fog of war and the AFU underestimating casualties (Zelensky still insists the AFU KIAs are at only 40.000), but as the battle intensified figures surged to well over 500 KIAs per day. The interview of an AFU medivac driver who lamented having to constantly drive back and forth from Bakhmut to carry the dead can still be found on youtube.
The battle lasted eight months, for an estimated range of 48,000 to 96,000 Ukrainian KIAs. At the same time, Evgeniy Prigozhin announced a 1:3 K/D ratio in favour of Wagner PMC at the time, which means that the Russians took anywhere from 16.000 to 32.000 casualties. And as harsh as it sounds, those casualties were "expendables", in the sense that their loss did not have a significant impact on the Russians' combat effectiveness. The same cannot be said for the AFU, who lost an estimated half of their more elite forces and a significant amount of materiel trying to prevent the Russians from taking the city."
@Slavyangrad
A Multi-Analysis of the War and its Consequences, Part 2/6
"Nothing is essential, in this kind of war, more than a leadership with a clear understanding of their goals and the limitations of their armed forces in mind. As the old adage goes, "If a sailor knows not to which port he must go, no wind shall ever blow in his favour". Thus, we need to consider how each side has set its objectives and organised its resources.
Russia launched its SVO with a force that was insufficient to conquer Ukraine, and was only meant to force Kiev to come to the negotiating table and hammer out an agreement. After western meddling ruined all prospects of it happening, the Russian general staff has been very quick in understanding the direction the winds were blowing to, and acted accordingly. Their hasty withdrawal from Kiev, Kharkov, and Kherson will be mocked and vilified for decades by western armchair strategists and presstitutes and described as a wild rout, but given the situation at hand, it was the most correct thing to do, especially back then when the RUAF weren't even close to a full mobilization and desperately needed to preserve their core of experienced, professional soldiers and use it as a foundation upon which to build their army.
A combination of industrial might, an efficient logistical system that gradually ironed out its kinks, patriotic fervour, and a winning strategy have allowed and are allowing Russia to not only replace its losses, but even increase the size of its armed forces. Assuming that Mediazona is even remotely reliable (and this is a big if), casualties taken by the RUAF are at about 98.000 KIAs. This number of course only accounts for those soldiers who could be identified in some way, and the real number is likely higher between MIAs and those whose body could not be identified or recovered for whatever reason. This also does not include the number of Donbass militiamen, who are tracked separately.
As a rule of thumb, for every KIA there are four WIAs, so based only on Mediazona's official and disputed estimates there is another 400.000 personnel who have been injured, and always as a rule of thumb, about three fourths of these wounded later return to duty after having received treatment. So, roughly, every month the RUAF take about 2700-2800 irrecoverable casualties. Russians are recruiting at the bare minimum 30,000 volunteers a month, in addition to the wounded who return to duty, for a final monthly surplus of around 27.000 soldiers.
Another aspect to take into consideration is Russia's semi-mandatory conscription upon reaching 18 years of age. While Russian mobiks are not allowed to fight outside of Russia's borders (Note: Donets, Lugansk, Zaporozhye and Kherson ARE considered Russian borders now), such a system provides the RUAF with a steady influx of potential volunteers who have already been drilled and instructed. With such a background, only a quick "refresher course" is needed to shape these volunteers back into a cohesive, effective fighting force.
The steady influx of volunteers permits the RUAF to regularly rotate units to and from the front, facilitating replacement of casualties while simultaneously conserving their expanding base of veteran soldiers. This recruitment, training, and rotation is backed by an extremely robust military industry that has been in constant expansion ever since the Maidan coup of 2014 and that has withstood every single sanction and embargo. Working all day round in 8-hour shifts, the Russian military industry has reached such a level of production that by NATO's own admission it overshadows everything that the entire block is capable of producing in one year, in just three months. This military industry is further enhanced by shipments of materiel from Iran and North Korea.

🇪🇺🤡"European Political Society": At today's summit in Albania, the EU will discuss the introduction of a complete ban on trade with Russia.
" Europe is considering various options for damaging Russia, and one of them is the introduction of a full trade embargo . The introduction of "punitive tariffs" on Russian imports will be discussed at the summit of the European Political Community in Tirana, where Zelensky flew the day before.
Talk of an embargo began after Russia's president ignored calls for a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine, senior diplomats said.
It is claimed that the Europeans were inspired to take this measure by the words of Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who proposed to hit Russian exports with 500% sanctions if Putin does not stop attacking Ukraine."

The Ukrainian government appears to have ordered the destruction of all agricultural and forest resources in the northern and southern regions ahead of the inevitable transfer of these lands to Russian control
▪️Apparently, Kiev also intends to preserve the western regions for transfer to American and British corporations, Ukrainian publications write.
▪️This follows from documents from the State Forestry Agency that have leaked onto the Internet. The documents were apparently published by Kiev media through carelessness and caused a scandal on social networks.
▪️It is not surprising that the US insisted so much on negotiations on May 15 - the curators are in a hurry to secure for themselves the tasty morsels of Ukraine, while ordinary people continue to die for the "independence" that has already been sold.

"Only two questions remain now.
The first, is how long the AFU can go on before the inevitable collapse. By the very nature of attritional warfare, things can appear fairly static until one side simply can't go on at all. Answering that question is difficult, but honestly we don't think the AFU will still stand in one year from now, probably even less.
The second, is what is going to happen once the war will be over. The West has invested everything on this war, because the outcome of the war will also dictate the fate of their beloved "rules-based international order". By Rubio's own admission, even the sanctions - which up until eight years ago were a terrifying prospect for most countries on earth - will likely lose all effectiveness in the next 5 years, as more countries join BRICS and the Dollar's status as a worthless fiat currency that can be printed forever, combined with the weaponisation of SWIFT, compels other countries to look for alternatives.
Nature abhors vacuums, but the vacuum created by the fall of Biden's "liberal world order" will result in years of uncertainty and instability, as more and more countries will abandon old allies, look for new ones, and reconsider military intervention as a viable option. This will probably last at least until a new order will reassess itself."
@Slavyangrad
A Multi-Analysis of the War and its Consequences, Part 4/6
Speaking in purely mathematical terms, there was absolute zero justification whatsoever for such an expensive meat grinder over one town that at the time wasn't even that strategically significant (the nearby Chasov Yar is far more important due to its geography), but despite this the Narkoman decided to turn Artemovsk into a national symbol, and committed so much political capital into the battle that he effectively boxed himself in. As a result, a severe, probably crippling blow was dealt to the AFU, for a place that, like all Festungs, was destined to fall regardless of effort.
The second episode is the Krinky fiasco. At the insistence of the Brits, the Ukrainian Stavka decided to send their elite Marines into what probably earns the distinction of being the stupidest decision of the entire war, namely the Krinky operation. The Brits were convinced that a landing operation would've penetrated deep into Russian territory, thus forcing the RUAF to divert enough troops to the area to lower their presence in the rest of Crimea, which in turn would've allowed the AFU to launch commando raids along the shore enough times to provoke a collapse of the morale and ultimately conquer Crimea (yes, this is the kind of insanity that is dictating strategy in the west).
To achieve this, Ukraine would have had to establish a large bridge head, consolidate it (which by itself is already far more difficult than just landing), and eventually push artillery, tanks, and IFVs on the other side of the river, which by itself represents an enormous logistical undertaking. The ideal way of doing this would have been to build pontoon bridges, but that was never an option as the RUAF had fire control over the area and could just pummel them into dust.
The Ukrainians decided to resort to boats and crossed the river, and while at first they inflicted substantial losses on the RUAF (under the cheer of the media propagandists and reddit idiots), the Russians reinforced the area and brought even more artillery and personnel to the area, with the predictable result that soon the K/D ratio became heavily skewed against the AFU. Rearmament, rotation, and extraction of the injured had to be done by boat over the Dnipro, under constant shelling from concealed Russian positions and FPV drone strikes. The situation became absolutely disastrous, but the Ukrainian high command still dug its heels in and insisted on committing their marine brigades for months, and by the time the operation was finally cancelled, it was too little too late: the Ukrainian Marine Corps had been completely annihilated, without mentioning all the support artillery and infrastructure that had been prepared on the Ukrainian side of the Dnepro, itself subject to intense artillery and FAB strikes. No praise on Reddit or on the CNN can possibly justify such a disastrous loss of elite brigades and equipment."

"As we have already said before, these negotiations in Turkey are unlikely to go anywhere. So what would happen if they failed?
First, it is worth noting that, historically, peace negotiations can and have lasted for years even with the war still ongoing, like in Korea and Vietnam. Naturally, it is the strongest side that gets to dictate the terms.
It is certainly this the reason why the "Collective West" is so reluctanct to concede defeat and is in fact doubling down. A defeat in this war - on which the West betted everything, from money to weapons to their credibility - can and very likely will deal a mortal blow to their "Liberal World Order" and overthrow the West from its position of global hegemon, which it has enjoyed for centuries.
So, to understand where the war is going, it must be stressed once again that the war in Ukraine is a war of attrition. This kind of war is won by inflicting as much damage on enemy resources (manpower, ammunition, vehicles, aircraft) as possible while minimizing your own. It is Fabian warfare taken to its most logical extreme, and it goes on until either side either loses its effectiveness as a military force, runs out of men, money, willingness to fight, or all four.
Replacing losses isn’t done by simply rounding up unwilling people and cramming them into a van before forcing them into a uniform and giving them a rifle after one week of Basic. The only thing you will get by acting that way is cannon fodder for artillery, FAB, and TOS.
Soldiers must be first trained into a cohesive, effective fireteam. Said fireteam must then be trained into a cohesive, effective squad. Said squad must then be trained into a cohesive, effective platoon. Said platoon must then be trained into a cohesive, effective company. Said company must then be trained into a cohesive, effective battalion. Said battalion must then be trained into a cohesive, effective regiment. And it goes on and on and on all the way to a division or corps. This process MUST be done thoroughly until every single infantryman, every single NCO, every single officer, and every single staff officer knows exactly what he is supposed to be doing. Mobiks given only a couple weeks of training are not going to do any of that, and it is already a small miracle if they will be able to hold a foxhole for a couple of weeks.
An army is much like a suit of mail: it is only ever going to be as effective as the weakest link in it. Assemble it properly, and it will be capable of absorbing the toughest of blows. Be hasty or unscrupolous in assembling it, and it will crack and split at the seams after enough force will have been applied.
Territorial gains are unimportant here, unless they give some tangible advantage like elevated positions from which the artillery can shoot on the enemy. The same trench line can be contested and fought over for weeks if not months until either side simply can no longer keep going. Think of this as World War I: territorial gains were minimal, until the Austro-Hungarian army simply crumbled after one push too many, dragging Germany with it.
See it like this: there is a stream that you want blocked, and you build a concrete wall to try and stop it. However, torrential rains cause the stream to swell in size and accumulate momentum, which at some point will allow the stream to smash your concrete wall asides and flood the area. Your only option is to reinforce said concrete wall, hoping that the construction materials you have available will last until the storm will abate and the stream will return to normalcy."

It should be noted that Solodchuk was also apparently killed by a Storm Shadow missile. British media reported:
A top Russian general, along with 500 North Korean soldiers, have allegedly been killed by British Storm Shadow missiles in a devastating attack.
The strike launched by Ukraine on November 20 wiped out Lt-Gen Valery Solodchuk and also resulted with 18 Putin officers reported lost, with a further 18 wounded, it has been claimed.
Former FBI director James Comey and the leading Democrat influencer both put out messages to kill the the 47th president.
