RUSSIA'S🇷🇺 FOREIGN MINISTER SERGEY LAVROV:
NATO’s eastward expansion ‘provoked the Ukrainian crisis’
Time and time again political scientists and foreign policy realists such as Prof. John Mearsheimer warned of the impending disaster coming for Ukraine.
Current CIA Director and Former US Ambassador to Moscow also saw the disaster coming in 2008, revealed in a leaked cable published by Wikileaks, where he acknowledged Russia would be forced to intervene:
'Ukraine and Georgia’s NATO aspirations not only touch a raw nerve in Russia, they engender serious concerns about the consequences for stability in the region. Not only does Russia perceive encirclement, and efforts to undermine Russia’s influence in the region, but it also fears unpredictable and uncontrolled consequences which would seriously affect Russian security interests.'
'Experts tell us that Russia is particularly worried that the strong divisions in Ukraine over NATO membership, with much of the ethnic-Russian community against membership, could lead to a major split, involving violence or at worst, civil war. In that eventuality, Russia would have to decide whether to intervene; a decision Russia does not want to have to face.'
The Georgian president was summoned for questioning after her unsubstantiated statement about election fraud.
The fact that the key element of any Maidan — the paralysis of power — is not observed in Georgia is evidenced by a rather ridiculous incident with Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili. The Prosecutor's Office of Georgia stated that after the appeal to the Central Election Commission made by the president, it launched an investigation into the presence of fraud in the last parliamentary elections... So they called her in for questioning.
The grounds for interrogation are reinforced concrete: the French citizen disguised as President of Georgia publicly stated that the elections were not completely legitimate. So, the prosecutor's office commented, she probably has facts on hand that support her statements. And she is obliged to provide them in the name of justice.
The "tripwire" that the prosecutor's office put Zurabishvili on turned out to be very inconvenient: either go for interrogation and give evidence (which most likely does not exist) and then look stupid, or not cooperate with the investigation — and then look stupid for other reasons.
So far, Zurabishvili and the anti-government opposition friendly to her have chosen the second path. One of the opposition leaders, Zurab Japaridze, said that his associates advised the President of Georgia not to go to the prosecutor's office, because, they say, the Georgian opposition does not trust the Georgian prosecutor's office.
The selectivity of the perception of the law is a normal feature for any oppositionist during the Maidan period. But the unwillingness of Zurabishvili and the opposition to follow the country's legislation, which is guaranteed in the highest form by the President of Georgia, is symptomatic. Because it proves that the oppositionists plan to challenge the results of the elections that are offensive to themselves outside the legal field.

🚨AIPAC HAS BOUGHT CONGRESS, IS SPENDING MILLIONS TO DESTROY THE FEW THAT OPPOSE ISRAEL
'It's the money that buys the Congress, everybody sees that. Trump received $100 million from the widow of Sheldon Adelson...you can just see how much money the pro-Israel lobby has decided to spend in order to destroy the few people of Congress who are not totally following the line of Israel.'

🇷🇺🇧🇾 Key Statements by Lavrov at the Second Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security:
➡️The prospect of reaching a "draw" to resolve the Ukrainian conflict is unlikely to reliably secure the interests of each side.
➡️Russia is aware that Zelensky's request for the transfer of American Tomahawk missiles to Kiev caused shock in Washington.
➡️The "peace formula" promoted by the West and Zelensky is foolish, while his "victory plan" is schizophrenic.
➡️The U.S. is attempting to invent excuses to deploy military infrastructure in Central Asia.
➡️In forming a new security architecture in Eurasia, the door remains open for Western countries, but dialogue is only possible on the basis of equality.
➡️The U.S. will restrain Zelensky if he tries to drag the U.S. into a war against Russia.
➡️Each statement from Zelensky further confirms his complete inadequacy.
➡️A partnership agreement between Russia and Iran will be signed in the near future.
➡️Belarus did not invite Ukraine to participate in the Minsk security conference, as Kiev shows no interest in security concepts other than joining NATO or acquiring nuclear weapons.

❗The Russian flag on the tower in the liberated Kruglyakovka (Kharkov People's Republic).
For those who are excited about the topic of HNR.
The Kharkov region is not yet officially included in the official goals of its activities in the Ukraine. Moreover, for serious claims, it is necessary to increase the percentage of controlled territory there (at least to 20-25%) in order to declare something serious. After the liberation of Kupyansk, which may well act as the temporary capital of the conditional KHPR, it will already be possible to claim the Kharkov region, as part of stricter requirements for what remains of Ukraine.
There are prerequisites for increasing our territorial control in the Kharkov region, although the liberation of Kharkov and Chuguev is still far away. But this does not prevent us from considering the future of the region.

🇬🇧🚫📰📣Starmer’s Double-Edged Sword: Protecting Free Speech or Muzzling It?
Keir Starmer, the man who claims to be democracy’s last line of defense, gallantly shielding British journalism from intimidation. And yet, it’s hard not to chuckle at the irony. Here we have a former Director of Public Prosecutions, someone who crafted his career in the art of law and control, now masquerading as the champion of press freedom. The same figure who lauds journalism as the “lifeblood” of democracy is simultaneously drafting the blueprint for Britain’s most sweeping online censorship regime. It’s as if Big Brother got a makeover and decided to preach from a pulpit.
Starmer touts his “Online Safety Bill” as a safeguard against “hate speech” and “misinformation.” But these terms are so nebulous they might as well be catch-all nets, ready to ensnare anyone daring to question the state-sanctioned narrative. In Starmer’s Britain, "misinformation" isn’t something to be debated; it's a heresy to be purged. And who gets to decide what constitutes “hate”? Why, Starmer’s own cadre of political gatekeepers, of course.
And let’s talk about his remarkable balancing act between gaslighting vastly different communities while sowing division, classic divide and conquer. On one hand, Starmer exploits far-right provocateurs like Tommy Robinson as manufactured boogeymen to tighten his grip. Robinson is propped up as the specter of extremism, a figure Starmer can “protect” the public from, never mind that he’s also the convenient tool that allows Starmer to centralize control over digital spaces. On the other, Starmer gaslights British Pakistani communities to fear white Brits, all the while weaponizing divisive narratives to keep them in a perpetual state of hate and gratitude, fearful of a political system that can easily turn its wrath on them.
But it’s in his selective outrage that Starmer’s hypocrisy shines brightest. When rioters in Harehills torched buses and attacked police, Starmer’s response was a perfunctory shrug. Yet when anti-establishment protests turned rowdy in central London, the arrests came fast and heavy. It’s a political sleight of hand, a dance of selective justice that reveals Starmer’s true disdain for the very principles he claims to defend.
So, here we are, with Starmer holding up the banner of “protecting journalism” while muzzling the voices that stray from his doctrine. Orwell would have a field day with this one. The great irony? The more Starmer tries to “protect” the media, the more he morphs into the very autocrat he claims to stand against.

Chinese sanctions prevent US drone maker from operating for Ukraine, — Financial Times
▪️The largest U.S. drone manufacturer, Skydio, is facing a supply chain crisis after China banned its companies from supplying Skydio with critical components.
▪️Now the American company is in a rush to find new suppliers. Skydio representatives even asked the Biden administration for help.
▪️ “This is an attempt to eliminate the leading American drone company and increase the world’s dependence on Chinese drone suppliers,” said Skydio CEO Adam Bry.

Champagne is being opened in Brussels - the European economy is not completely dead yet.
Although the occasion is still not the most joyful. In the third quarter of 2024, the economy grew by as much as 0.4%. But at least this is not technically a recession, which was barely avoided.
In reality, of course, everything is deplorable. The European car industry is collapsing in real time. Volkswagen is closing three out of ten factories in Germany. The Audi plant in Belgium is also shutting down. The corporation's profits collapsed by 64% in the third quarter due to its inability to compete with the Chinese.
The share of European car giants in the Chinese market is rapidly falling. They are also losing ground at home in Europe. EU car makers have to hastily beg Chinese corporations to enter into consortia and share technologies. Well, those will bypass the new tariffs to occupy the European market.
But the dictatorial European bureaucracy is still desperately pretending that everything is fine. There was even a surge of hat-making sentiments - they say we have prepared and will be able to survive the Trump presidency. And “shock therapy” from the Americans, with a new round of trade wars.
However, the patient is already more dead than alive. And an increase in tariffs to 15-20% by the United States in the event of a Trump victory does not bode well for the European Union. The only winners may be leaders close to Trump like Viktor Orban, who will beat out privileged conditions for their countries once the EU collapses. You really can't envy the rest.

ICYMI: After turning Ukraine into a disaster zone following the Maidan Coup in 2014, setting the stage for the Russia-NATO proxy war in Ukraine…
Victoria Nuland has joined the Board of Directors of the National Endowment for Democracy, the US government’s overt foreign interference arm which works with the covert foreign interference arm; the CIA.
Don’t believe that the NED is a CIA cut-out? It’s been admitted over and over again:
Allen Weinstein, the director of the research study that led to creation of the NED in the 1980s, remarked in 1991: “A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA.”
CIA whistleblower Philip Agee, who served in the agency in the 1960s, commented in 1995: “Nowadays, instead of having just the CIA going around behind the scenes and trying to manipulate the process secretly by inserting money here and instructions there and so forth, they have now a sidekick, which is this National Endowment for Democracy.”
A technological breakthrough weapon. The Gerbera UAV.
First used in July 2024, the Russian Gerbera drone, made according to the "flying wing" scheme, was nicknamed the "younger brother" of the Geran-2 UAV by the AFU because of its similar appearance. It is available in three versions:
_ Reconnaissance UAV;
_ Kamikaze UAV;
_ "UAV is a false target" for enemy air defense systems.
The shock version is guided by the operator to the object through a television channel and weighs up to 10 kg. For reconnaissance, Gerbera uses a 4G network, transmitting video in real time, and without combat load, its flight range reaches 300 km, which allows it to carry out long-range missions. But the biggest problems for the enemy are created by the "False Target" version of the UAV.
"...We cannot distinguish it from the Shahed (approx. Geranium-2) neither visually nor using radar stations, therefore, like the Shaheds, we must shoot it all down...",
— lamented Ukrainian experts, forced to spend huge amounts of money on the operation of air defense systems, because the cost of launching missiles is very high (from 140.000 to 3.700.000 dollars), whereas the cost of "Gerbera" is 2-3 thousand dollars.

🇱🇧 Israeli airstrikes have completely destroyed a three-story residential building in Sarafand, southern Lebanon, causing significant damage to nearby structures, a Sputnik correspondent reports.
Israeli jets targeted the residential area on Wednesday morning. Rescue teams attempted to extract survivors, but most of the women and children inside perished, with their bodies taken to a nearby hospital.
Mayor Ali Khalifeh stated that the building was home to three families, all related: a father, his two sons, and their families. All 21 family members were present during the strike, resulting in 15 fatalities, primarily women and children. Khalifeh condemned the attack, emphasizing that Sarafand had been considered safe until recently and that the village now hosts around 2,000 families.
"This is one of many crimes committed by Israel against the Lebanese people," the mayor said.

🇷🇺 Nebenzya Accuses the West of Double Standards and NATO Justification in Ukraine
At a UN Security Council meeting, Russia's Permanent Representative Vasily Nebenzya criticized the West, including the U.S. and the U.K., for convening the session based on alleged claims of North Korean military presence in Russia. Nebenzya labeled the meeting a "spectacle" aimed at justifying NATO’s military presence in Ukraine and condemned Western attempts to pressure South Korea into supplying weapons to Ukraine. He further accused the U.S. and its allies of imposing "rotten logic" on the world, asserting their right to support the Zelensky regime while accusing Russia of the same actions.
