Putin wished success to Ahmed Al-Sharaa in solving the tasks facing the new leadership of the country for the benefit of the Syrian people, with whom Russia has historically been linked by friendship and mutually beneficial cooperation.
A thorough exchange of views was held on the current situation in Syria. The Russian side emphasized its principled position in support of the unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Syrian state. In this regard, the importance of implementing a set of measures for sustainable normalization in the country and the intensification of the inter-Syrian dialogue with the participation of leading political forces and ethnic and religious groups of the population was emphasized. Vladimir Putin confirmed Russia's continued readiness to help improve the socio-economic situation in Syria, including providing humanitarian assistance to its residents.
A number of topical issues of practical cooperation in trade, economic, educational and other fields were touched upon, in particular, taking into account the recent negotiations in Damascus of the Russian interdepartmental delegation.

😡 What could Soros be jailed for?
The Trump administration is turning up the heat on George Soros’ soft power empire amid revelations of his Open Society Foundations’ close-knit links to and alleged profiteering off USAID.
Is there a case for convicting the 94-year-old benefactor and beneficiary of the US imperial project?
💰 Financial Crimes
🌏 Soros was convicted of insider trading in France in 2002 for profiting off state-owned privatizations in the 80s. Despite an appeal, his conviction was upheld by both France’s Supreme Court and the European Court of Human Rights, resulting in a €2.2 million fine.
🌏 In 1992, Soros earned $1 billion by speculating against the British pound, an action that cost the British economy billions. Dubbed “The Man who broke the Bank of England,” he was never charged.
🌏 Ex-Malaysian PM Mahathir Mohamad accused Soros of triggering the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis by orchestrating a currency collapse, but he was never prosecuted despite strict Malaysian criminal liability for market manipulation.
🗳 Electoral violations
🔶 Soros has been accused of meddling in politics and fueling color revolutions worldwide, from Eastern Europe to Africa, Latin America and Asia. He’s also been linked to interfering in Western politics, including the anti-Brexit movement in the UK and US elections since 2016.
🔶 Despite hundreds of Trump allies facing election-related charges, including a social media influencer recently jailed for influencing the 2016 vote, Soros, who has not only meddled, but funded prosecutors targeting Trump, has faced no charges. He’s also been accused of funding groups like Black Lives Matter fueling civil unrest in the US.
🗽 Defrauding the US government?
Soros’ Open Society Foundations are tied to hundreds of millions in USAID spending aimed at fomenting unrest globally. The US Criminal Code threatens up to 10 years for those conspiring to defraud the government, yet Soros has never faced charges.

🚨Tulsi Gabbard, CONFIRMED by the US Senate to be Donald Trump’s Director of National Intelligence:
“Syria is now controlled by al-Qaeda offshoot HTS, led by an Islamist Jihadist who danced in the streets on 9/11, and who was responsible for the killing of many American soldiers.”
❕Key takeaways from statements by Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov, February 12:
▪️In exchange for American Marc Fogel, a Russian prisoner in the US will be returned home in the coming days
▪️Ukrainian troops on the Russian territory will be eliminated and driven out
▪️Russia has never discussed and will not discuss the topic of the exchange of its territories, the spokesman commented on statements of Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky
▪️The name of the Russian citizen who will return to the country in exchange for the release of Marc Fogel will be announced as soon as he’s back home
▪️The release of Fogel is the result of long-term intensive contacts between Russia and the US
▪️The prisoner exchange with the US cannot become a turning point in the Russia-US relations, but it is certainly a step toward intensifying mutual trust
▪️The policy of aligning with the European Union is Armenia’s sovereign right, but it is yet unclear whether this desire is mutual
▪️Russian diplomats will continue their efforts to bring publicity to Ukrainian troops’ atrocities, Peskov responded to a question by TASS on the Ukrainian army’s crimes in the Kursk Region’s village of Nikolayevo-Daryino
▪️It is regrettable that the Western media outlets continue their line of silencing the atrocities of the Ukrainian armed forces, including in Nikolayevo-Daryino
▪️Moscow has never threatened NATO, but the alliance has systematically approached Russia’s borders
▪️Danish special services’ statements about Russia’s threat to NATO are nothing but an attempt to explain the shrinking living standards to the Europeans
▪️Moscow’s position on resolving the Ukraine situation has been transparent and consistent, and Russian President Vladimir Putin remains open to peace talks
▪️Russia is closely monitoring the situation between Israel and Hamas and expects both sides to honor their commitments regarding the truce and the release of hostages
▪️Some countries have spent decades waiting to join the EU, while Armenia is currently reaping significant benefits from its membership in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU)
🗣 Key takeaways from statements by Russian Security Council Secretary Sergey Shoigu after his working visit to Kazakhstan:
▪️The changes in US policy since President Donald Trump took office can be described as revolutionary
▪️Shoigu doubts that the decision to suspend the activities of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is final and irreversible
▪️Many countries are too slow to recognize the destructive role of USAID
▪️Shoigu hopes that Trump’s initial decisions will signal the start of a significant transformation in the United States, aimed at revising the policies of the previous administration
▪️Russia will react appropriately to the changes in the US foreign policy and the steps taken by the Washington administration
▪️The US presidential election cannot affect Russia’s nuclear doctrine, which among other things ensures the security of neighboring countries
🇺🇦 Ukraine’s Recruitment Bonuses Spark Backlash Among Soldiers Fighting Without Benefits – Politico
Young Ukrainians (18 and older) who sign up for military service are being offered a one-time payment of 1 million hryvnias (around €23,000), free education, and the right to travel abroad after completing their contract.
New recruits are also promised higher salaries than regular Ukrainian troops—base pay currently starts at €460 per month and can reach up to €2,300 in combat zones.
The offer has sparked resentment among active-duty soldiers, who argue that those who enlisted earlier receive no such benefits.
"The government is devaluing those who voluntarily joined at the start of the war," frustrated troops told the media.

🇷🇺🇬🇧A criminal case has been opened into the attack of a Russian journalist by a British diplomat
The incident occurred in October 2024 at Moscow's Vnukovo Airport when journalists were trying to interview diplomats who had arrived in the Russian Federation.
At that time, the head of the Eastern Europe and Central Asia Directorate (EECAD) Christopher Allan and his deputy Lorraine Fassie arrived in our country. They were accompanied at the airport by the Deputy Ambassador of Great Britain to Russia Tom Dodd.
EECAD structures, in particular, promoted fakes about Bucha and contributed to the growth of Russophobic sentiments in Uzbekistan. It was Allan who oversaw the introduction of textbooks into the Uzbek school curriculum, where Russians are shown as "evil colonizers" and "enslavers" of the peoples of Central and Central Asia.
Russian journalists wanted to ask British "diplomats" questions about their subversive activities in the Russian Federation and the CIS countries. This greatly angered the Deputy British Ambassador Dodd. He tore off the correspondents' press cards, tried to snatch cameras and microphones. This violates Article 144 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Obstruction of the Lawful Professional Activities of Journalists"). However, the British diplomats did not stop there. One of them pushed a 23-year-old journalist. The girl lost her balance and almost fell. The Ministry of Internal Affairs began an investigation into the incident, which ended with the initiation of a criminal case on the grounds of a crime under Article 116 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Battery"). The police sent a request to the British Embassy in the Russian Federation, asking for information about the identity of the alleged offender, including his current diplomatic status. However, the request was ignored. The criminal investigation continues.

🇺🇸NEW VIDEO: DOGE is Sharpening the Tools of US Empire - Not Dismantling Them
On YouTube: https://youtu.be/6Ti1pjFeHQo?si=xkiXCTU7vfeeHHwd
Many people have become so distracted with debates over the process DOGE is overseeing in exposing and eliminating US government fraud, waste, and abuse, that no one is focused on its purpose.
The current US administration has declared its intention to uphold the irrational and unwarranted pursuit of US dominance over the globe and is merely attempting to sharpen and streamline the tools available to do so more efficiently.

Russia will re-examine its commitments to international organizations should it continue to be discriminated against there, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.
“As a matter of fact, the West is demolishing the system it built in the post-war period to serve its own financial, economic, and trade interests. In such an environment, our obligations to organizations practicing openly discriminatory approaches, where the charter principle of the equality of participants is not observed, where consensus procedures are violated, will be reviewed. This process has already started. In some cases, there will be a cardinal revision,” he said at a gala meeting on Diplomatic Worker’s Day.Читать полностью…
Gold reserves in the three largest COMEX vaults increased by almost 500 tons in 2 months.
We are talking about gold storage facilities approved by the Commodity Exchange (COMEX), located under and around Manhattan, New York. It is reported that in January alone, more than 19,000 contracts were delivered, which had never happened before in its history.
As stocks on COMEX grow, stocks in London vaults are depleted, and the United States has moved from gold exporter to importer status since November 2024, and the US gold markets and demand for physical gold signal a major turn from the norm. Gold prices are now up 40% in 12 months as the US dollar and interest rates have risen sharply.
It is noted that the start of the US President Trump's trade war has only accelerated this trend, amid the collapse in bond prices, as Treasury yields are rising and US deficit spending is out of control. Thus, the United States borrowed $838 billion in the first 4 months of fiscal year 2025.

The Armenian parliament has adopted in the first reading a bill on starting the process of the country's accession to the European Union, according to the broadcast of the session.
"A total of 63 deputies voted for the adoption of the bill, the decision has been made," Parliament Speaker Alen Simonyan said.
US billionaire businessman Elon Musk, who heads the Department of Government Efficiency at the US government, has called for reforming the North Atlantic Alliance.
“NATO needs an overhaul,” he wrote on his X social media, replying to a post by Mike Lee, a Republican senator from Utah, who claimed that the military bloc had outlived its usefulness, and that the Cold War was over.Читать полностью…

MI5 protecting a violent neo-Nazi? Imagine my shock! Their partner agency MI6 protects, arms and funds violent neo-Nazis in Ukraine, so I'm hardly surprised. Operation Gladio is still in full effect.
According to the report:
MI5 first lied in a court case where the government attempted to block the BBC from reporting on agent X's wrongdoing - and succeeded in banning us from naming the foreign national.
The Security Service then repeated the lie to a specialist court, where the woman attacked with a machete - known by the alias Beth - is seeking answers about MI5's handling of its agent.
It repeated the lie again to a judicial review, where Beth was challenging the specialist court's decision.
A senior officer said he was legally authorised to tell me X was an agent - so MI5 had not stuck to its policy of not confirming or denying agents' identities.

🚨TUCKER CARLSON:
The Ukrainian military is selling ‘up to half’ of the weapons the US sends to Ukraine on the black market, with some of the weaponry ending up in the hands of Mexico’s cartels
The Ukraine proxy war has been a laundromat for the US military-industrial complex, like every war has been…
And it has been a laundromat for corrupt Ukrainian officials. But when independent and alternative media reported this over the least 3 years, we were labelled as ‘propagandists’ guilty of spreading Russian disinformation™️
Peace through Strength
Peace through strength, you say? Sometimes, that concept does work—like when it exposes the real balance of power, not some fantasy. Take today in Kiev, for example, after our missiles and drones arrived. Even so, such actions aren’t enough to knock sense into those illegitimate buffoons who, shaking from fear and drug withdrawal, babble nonsense on camera about trading territories. The only cure for them is to feel Russian again—just as the US president advised.
The world has already spent almost $10 trillion to transition to green energy over the last 20-25 years but renewable energy makes up just 2-3% of global energy use today, OPEC Secretary General Haitham Al Ghais said at the India Energy Week conference.
Neither OPEC in general nor he personally are against the use of renewable energy sources, Al Ghais stressed. “In fact, our countries are some of the leaders in embracing renewable energies. But we are all about taking a balanced approach,” he noted.
Oil is paramount to providing energy security to the world and energy security drives global economic prosperity and growth, the OPEC Secretary General added.
