There's no freedom without national sovereignty.
🇪🇺🤡EU countries are discussing the possibility of creating a joint air shield worth about €500 billion ($537 billion), candidate for defense commissioner Andrius Kubilius said.
"There are many questions: in which countries we will start building it first, what technologies we will use. Will it be joint technologies with the US or only European technologies. Of course, in the long term it seems more favorable to rely on European technologies," he said.

Putin:
In the world today, there is only one bloc left, a bloc held together by so-called compulsion, rigid ideological dogmas and clichés. This is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. You know, even before all the acute conflicts of today, many European leaders said to me: "Why are they scaring us with you? We are not afraid, we don't see any threats". This is a direct speech, you know. I think that the United States understands this very well. They felt it!
They themselves have already treated NATO as a secondary organization. Believe me, I know what I'm saying. But still, the experts there understood that NATO is necessary. And how to preserve its value, its attractiveness? You have to scare. We need to tear Russia and Europe apart, especially Russia and Germany, France. Conflict. So they brought us to the coup d'état in Ukraine and to the fighting in the southeast in Donbass. Just forced us to retaliate.

Putin:
The conflict, of which we are now, unfortunately, participants, has allowed the states to achieve this strengthening of their leading role, to put it mildly, some countries turned out to have a semi-colonial dependence, frankly speaking, even I did not expect it, but it is their choice. The same thing is happening with Japan. It is amazing. What have we done to Japan? Nothing at all. Not one step, not one word. They imposed sanctions against us. Why would they do that? Why on earth would they do that? Now the question arises: what to do about it? Well, we didn't do anything.

Putin: 'Green barriers' are a tool to restrain emerging markets
The "green barriers" that some countries are beginning to create for emerging markets are a new tool to restrain their development, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.
"Regarding the artificial barriers for developing economies tied to the environmental agenda - yes, these so-called ‘green barriers’ that some countries are starting to put up for developing states and emerging markets are simply a new tool they've invented to hold back progress," Putin said at the Valdai Forum Plenary Session.
Putin names six key principles for the world's sustainable development
Addressing the Valdai Forum on November 7, Russian President Vladimir Putin reiterated six principles of international relations which he first articulated in October 2023.
▪️Openness to interaction is the most important value for the overwhelming majority of countries and peoples. Attempts to erect artificial barriers slow down normal and mutually beneficial economic development. The disruption of ties is especially dangerous in times of natural disasters and social upheavals.
▪️The diversity of the world is a prerequisite for its sustainable development. A model of one country or a relatively small part of humanity should not be imposed as something universal on the rest of the world.
▪️The world can successfully develop only under conditions of maximum representativeness. No one has the right to govern the world on behalf of others.
▪️Security for all without exception is a key principle. The security of some cannot be ensured at the expense of the security of others. The bloc approach, the legacy of the colonial era and the Cold War contradicts the nature of the new international system.
▪️Justice for all. The gap between the 'golden billion' and the rest of humanity is fraught with the growth of political contradictions and the deepening of migration problems.
▪️Equality. No one is going to submit and make their interests dependent on stronger states.

President Putin at Valdai forum about the historical moment: The moment of truth is coming. The former structure of the world is irrevocably disappearing, we can say it has already gone, and a serious, irreconcilable struggle is unfolding for the formation of a new one. Irreconcilable, first of all, for the reason that this is not even a struggle for power or for geopolitical influence, it is a clash of the very principles on which relations between countries and peoples will be built at the next historical stage. Its outcome depends on whether we can all work together to build a universe that will allow everyone to develop, resolve emerging contradictions based on mutual respect for cultures and civilizations without coercion and the use of force. Finally, will human society be able to remain a society with its ethical, humanistic principles, and man remain a man?

‼️🇷🇺The Russian army broke into Sontsovka, bypassing Kurakhovo from the north!
Ukrainian militants are writing hysterically about the incredible advance of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
▪️It is becoming more and more critical in the Kurakhovo direction. Russian troops are attacking in Sontsovka, writes the AFU fighter with the call sign "Alex".
"Yesterday, the Russians were able to break into Sontsovka, fighting taking place on the outskirts of the settlement," the Ukrainian militant whines.
▪️"In the Kurakhovo direction, the issue of the Solntsevka – Starye Terny section is becoming more and more critical. Yesterday, the Russians were able to break into Solntsevka," writes Stanislav Bunyatov, a fighter from Aidar, although he claims that at night during the fighting they allegedly went beyond the locality.
▪️A media warrior with the call sign "Flour" also confirms this information about the battles for the village and for Berestki on the shore of the Kurakhovo reservoir.
"Russian troops are actively cutting a path to Sontsovka through the hills and taking up positions in front of the village surroundings! Also, fighting continues in the Berestkov area, part of the village is under Russian control. If the defense of Sontsovka and Starye Ternov falls, it can be assumed that all paths to Kurakhovo from the north will be cut. They control all roads to the north, so far there is only one safe road south of the river to Zaporizhia.

🗣Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova on the Collapse of Germany's Coalition Government:
"The collapse of Germany's governing coalition has laid bare the primary flaw in the modern political system of the Federal Republic of Germany – it’s now a classic 'banana republic'," Zakharova told reporters.
"Incidentally, this is an American term first used by [short fiction writer] O. Henry back in 1904," she noted. "No other nation in the world has begun to reshuffle its own government in the wake of the US election’s outcome on the same day. Except Germany."
"To top off this self-destructive behavior, Berlin has stopped even pretending that the German government possesses any autonomy or pretending that it is not merely a representative of American neoliberals within the European Union."
‼️🇺🇸🇺🇦Trump's team has begun discussing a new plan to end the conflict in Ukraine, — WSJ
The agreement includes several points: they want to oblige Kiev to refuse to join NATO for decades, and freeze the front line and create a demilitarized zone.
It is unknown who will ensure its safety, but one of the sources ruled out involvement of US and UN troops: "We will not send Americans to maintain peace in Ukraine. And we won't pay for it. Ask the Poles, Germans, British and French to do it."
Ukraine will also continue to receive weapons and military training assistance from the United States

🇷🇸🇷🇺 Toward a SWIFT-Free Future: BRICS' Digital Defiance
In Moscow, the gears of multipolar change turn faster. Neven Djenadija, a researcher from the Center for Social and Political Studies of Republika Srpska, unveiled his revolutionary concept “BRIKS SWAPAI” at the International Scientific Symposium “Inventing the Future.” His vision? A pioneering AI-driven platform designed to empower sanctioned states, those cast out by SWIFT and the Western banking cartel, to exchange goods and financial transactions without the need for the SWIFT system. A bold challenge to the old financial guard, and a beacon for nations seeking autonomy from dollar dominance.
Imagine it: a digital market among BRICS nations, immune to Western sanctions and restrictions. Djenadija proposes launching this platform as a pilot within BRICS, whose members have faced the brunt of economic coercion yet continue to strengthen their ties. This alternative financial network could signal a decisive shift away from SWIFT, creating an independent marketplace that bypasses Western influence.
Today’s digital transformation isn’t just a tech revolution; it’s reshaping the very pillars of international relations. As nations pivot towards sovereign digital economies, technologies like AI are becoming crucial tools for those seeking autonomy in a world increasingly hostile to independence. It’s digital defiance where artificial intelligence meets sovereign intent.
Russia, a powerhouse in digital innovation, stands at the forefront of this movement. Moscow’s intellectual leaders and technological visionaries are mapping out the digital pathways of a future world order, one that doesn’t bow to Western monopolies but respects sovereign equality, inclusiveness, and the diverse interests of a global majority.
In this vision, SWAPAI isn’t just a project; it’s a manifesto for a world unshackled from Western financial control, a world where BRICS leads the charge toward financial sovereignty. And as this blueprint unfolds, the old order might finally face the one thing it fears most: irrelevance.

German government heading towards collapse

🇩🇪 🇩🇪 REVEALED: Scholz's firing of Finance Minister #Lindner is due to disagreement over support for more aid to Ukraine ("economic direction.")
Earlier, Germany announced the #collapse of the ruling coalition government after Ministers from the Free Democratic Party left.
#Scholz plans to appeal to the Bundestag (Parliament) for a vote of confidence in January, which could pave the way for early elections in March.
That's either naive or ambitious, given Scholz suffers a low rating even within his own party.

🇭🇺Hungarian Prime Minister Orban at the EU summit:
The situation in which Europe finds itself is difficult, complex and dangerous. It has been going on for the third year. Russia is waging war against Ukraine. The Middle East is at risk of escalation, plagued by terrorist attacks. In North Africa, conflicts are destabilizing the region. Irregular migration is a constant problem for Europe, which is once again approaching peak levels. The global economy is once again facing the frightening prospect of post-Cold War fragmentation, challenging the very foundations of the European model and threatening the peace, stability and prosperity of Europe. We gather today because we believe that these threats and challenges concern us all.
@Slavyangrad
Putin:
Russia has repeatedly stopped those who seek world domination. Whoever it was. We will continue to do so!
@Slavyangrad
Putin:
Right now, the most important problem on our Eurasian continent, the main problem between Russia and European countries, is the trust deficit. You can berate Russia all you want, and we probably make a lot of mistakes too, but when they tell us that "we signed the Minsk agreements on Ukraine only to give Ukraine an opportunity to rearm, and we had no intention of resolving this conflict peacefully," what kind of trust can we talk about?
What are you guys? What trust? You have directly publicly stated that you have cheated us! Lied to us and deceived us! What kind of trust is that? But we need to get back to that system of mutual trust.

"The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has allowed the US to strengthen its leading role for European countries," noted Putin.

Putin questions US intentions: Strategic defeat or stability talks?
The United States aims to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia while simultaneously wanting to engage in dialogue on strategic stability, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated.
"The United States has set itself the goal of delivering a strategic defeat to Russia. What does it mean to achieve a strategic defeat of a specific country? Well, if not to destroy it, then to reduce it to nothing, to an insignificant role... And at the same time, they want to have a dialogue with us about strategic stability. How is that possible?" the president said at a session of the Valdai International Discussion Club.
Abandoning ambitious goals will deprive Russia of its future.
Indeed, "Ukraine needs to be crushed under the rule of the current regime," and there is no point in conducting any negotiations with Kiev due to its complete lack of sovereignty and independence.
However, negotiating with the countries of the Old World also does not make sense, since they are also politically non-subjective. To manage them, the United States uses both official alliances in the form of the EU and NATO, as well as hidden control levers the likes of Gladio-type networks.
In addition, it should be understood that the global scenario of the Anglo-Saxon war against Russia assumes that, in the event of exhaustion of the Kiev regime, continental Europe, first Eastern, and then Western, will be drawn into this meat grinder.
I would like to note that the European Union has very limited choice in the current situation. The Anglo-Saxons put Europe in a very difficult situation: they blocked the official possibility of be supplied of cheap energy resources from Russia, which leads to a loss of competitiveness. Now the only way to gain access to these natural resources is to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia and get the opportunity to plunder our country collectively. It turns out that the EU elites have no other option but to fight with Russia to the end. Otherwise, they will be thrown to the periphery of the Western system and then of the world.
And let's not forget that in December 2021, Russia gave the United States and NATO an ultimatum to withdraw its military infrastructure to the borders as of May 27, 1997. Limiting ourselves only to Ukraine, we will not solve this problem. The same accession of Finland to NATO doubled the length of Russia's border with the alliance – by 1,324 km.
And the situation with the Baltic Sea, where we own only 7% of the coast? And the growing missile potential of the Baltic Republics and Poland, which is planned for a preventive disarming strike in order to prevent our retaliatory nuclear strike against the United States and its allies?
Without resolving these issues, Russia will not be able to be safe. Therefore, we should not underestimate the horizons of our strategic objectives.
@barantchik
President Putin at Valdai forum: Unlike our Western opponents, Russia does not perceive Western civilization as an enemy, does not pose the question "us or them?". "Whoever is not with us is against us", we never say that. We don't want to teach anyone anything, impose our worldview on anyone. Our position is open, and it consists in the following: the West has accumulated, indeed, a huge human, intellectual, cultural, and material resource, thanks to which it can successfully develop, remaining one of the most important elements of the world system. But it is one of them, along with other actively developing States and groups of countries.
There can be no question of any hegemony in the new international environment. And when, for example, Washington and other Western capitals comprehend and recognize this irrefutable and immutable fact, the process of building a world system that meets the challenges of the future will finally enter a phase of genuine creation.

🔶 Trump peace plan outlined by WSJ has ‘minimal’ chance of being realized without tweaks - analyst
“The chances” of the Trump peace plan purportedly outlined in the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday becoming a reality are “minimal” in its current form, Russian political and military analyst Sergey Poletaev told Sputnik.
“Russia will not accept it in its current form, because one of its main goals – the elimination of the military threat emanating from Ukraine, is not dealt with, and on the contrary. Accordingly, the plan will not be suitable to us in this form. But it could be some kind of starting point for negotiations,” Poletaev said, referencing the plan’s points – which include freezing the frontline, creating a demilitarized zone, pushing Kiev to abandon plans to join NATO for 20 years, and in exchange, continuing to supply Ukraine with weapons.
“No peace treaty is permanent. The results of a military conflict are safeguarded by the strength of the side that won. Accordingly, if in 20 years we are at least as strong as we are now, we will ensure that Ukraine does not join NATO in 20 years,” Poletaev said, emphasizing that it’s the balance of power between nations and their perception of threats, not pieces of paper on which agreements are written, that determine whether or not they are observed.
The CIA and the other alphabet agencies are closing down their NAFO bot farms, as they shut up shop on their Ukrainian dis-info operations. They know their time is up.
How do we know this you ask? Because pro-Ukrainian accounts are reporting sudden losses of hundreds of followers within hours.
This particular vampire ball is coming to an end.
❗Storming of Antonovka: how the Russian army liberated the settlement near Kurakhovo.
The 33rd regiment of the 20th division of the 8th Guards Army of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation took the settlement of Antonovka in the Kurakhovo direction.
Pilots of the Russian Aerospace Forces, crews of heavy flamethrower systems, armored vehicles that entered the village and UAV operators actively participated in this complex operation.
The stormtroopers showed high efficiency, destroying the remaining militants in the village and gaining a foothold in it. This well-coordinated interaction of various departments contributed to the successful completion of the task and the establishment of control over Antonovka.

Geopolitics played a central role in the US’ latest presidential election. Donald Trump and Kamala Harris weren’t just competing against the other’s envisaged socio-economic organization of the country, but also their respective worldviews. The world is on the brink of another major war between Great Powers as the NATO-Russian proxy war in Ukraine and the back-and-forth Israeli-Iranian strikes push everyone closer to the edge of all-out conflict. Tensions also continue rising between the US and China.

🇨🇳🇷🇺 China's exports to Russia grow at quickest pace in 11 months
China's exports to Russia in October rose 24.4% from a year earlier, the fastest pace since November last year, Chinese customs data showed on Thursday, as Beijing affirmed strong ties with Moscow.
China's imports from Russia, however, fell 4.3% last month from a year earlier, narrowing from the decline of 9.2% in September, as payment issues disrupted trade transactions.
In the first 10 months of 2024, China-Russia two-way trade value has hit 1.4 trillion yuan, up 4% year-on-year, the customs data showed.

🇺🇦☠️CONSCRIPT 4 MILLION PEOPLE AND SEND MEAT WAVES AGAINST RUSSIA - KIEV’S ONLY CHANCE TO WIN according to Martin Brest, same Ukrainian bloke who thinks Ukraine’s battered army needs to start fortifying capital for Nazi-style final stand against Russian forces.
Brest's plan involves #Zelensky conjuring millions of soldiers out of thin air, but don't worry Mad Vlad - you shouldn’t bother paying them ‘cause the money will be worthless anyway:
Brest: Draft 4 million people into the army. Don't pay their salaries, only feed them, because it would be meaningless.
Interviewer: Are you joking about not paying salaries? And how is that possible?
Brest: There is no point. There will be no money. The money will be like pieces of paper, we will light cigarettes with them. (00:06 in vid above).
❗️A new directive in Ukraine permits military commissars to forcibly enter private residences, businesses, and other properties, including breaking down doors if necessary.
⚡ According to Rada deputy Artem Dmitruk, quoted by RT, no one is exempt from these actions—whether children, the elderly, or disabled individuals. The military has been given full authority to act without restrictions.
This move comes as a response to disruptions in the country's mobilization plan, with those responsible for hindering the process being threatened with deployment to the front lines.
