There's no freedom without national sovereignty.
Most European countries do not want to join a hypothetical future coalition that would send troops to Ukraine without the participation of the US, Spain’s El Pais reported.
According to the newspaper, France and the UK are promoting the idea of creating a coalition that would contribute to Ukraine's security.
El Pais also said that the EU is studying the possibility of using the tools of the Common Security and Defense Policy, which includes patrolling operations, missions to strengthen national security and the deployment of military forces under the European flag.
Key takeaways from Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s statements at a press conference following talks with Zimbabwean Foreign Minister Amon Murwira:
▪️French President Emmanuel Macron’s remarks on the Ukrainian crisis were “lengthy and rather nervous” and his comment about Russia’s alleged threat to the European Union cannot be called intelligent
▪️Lavrov compared statements made by Macron to those of Adolf Hitler and Napoleon Bonaparte
▪️No one prevents the French leader from calling Russian President Vladimir Putin
▪️Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will soon escort Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky on an “apology tour” to Washington
▪️Moscow is ready for a candid discussion considering the underlying causes of the Ukraine conflict
▪️Russia concurs that the Ukrainian crisis can be stopped soon if the West halts its military assistance to the Kiev regime
▪️The stance of most European countries, which believe that “peace in Ukraine is worse than war,” is no longer surprising
▪️Russia will not stand by and watch the appearance of NATO troops in Ukraine under the guise of peacekeepers and will not tolerate such actions on the part of the West
▪️Ireland cannot remain idle outside the North Atlantic Alliance, judging by its statements about the willingness to send military personnel to Ukraine
White House supposedly wiped a web page about the 10-year security pact with Ukraine
Signed by Biden in June 2024, the deal skips Congress and can be scrapped at will

"A pension is a salary for raising grandchildren and preserving the continuity of generations"
Macron said he intends to convene military leaders from European countries to discuss the potential deployment of troops to Ukraine
According to him, Kiev should receive security guarantees from these forces and the peace cannot be achieved through "Ukraine's capitulation".
He added that EU forces would not participate in military actions, but would monitor compliance with the peace agreement after it is signed.
@Slavyangrad
Macron accuses Russia of breaking Minsk agreements — 'we can’t take Russia at its word'
But ex-French Prez Hollande and ex-German Chancellor Merkel said otherwise... they admitted Minsk agreements were signed to give Ukraine time to militarize.
Right vid is Hollande openly admitting it (to Russian pranksters) back in 2023.

🇸🇰🇺🇦 Russia is winning: Slovakian PM calls for immediate end to hostilities in Ukraine and start of negotiations
- Fico believes that in this situation the only one who wins is Russia.
- "The philosophy of "until the last Ukrainian soldier" is very simple. If there are no Dutch, Spanish, Italian, German or American soldiers there, then you don't care. As long as I remain prime minister, not a single Slovak soldier will go to Ukraine."

🔎 Trump's trade war against China destined to FAIL
Washington can't dictate terms because China's economy is too diversified. The numbers prove it:
▪️China's exports rose 7.1% to $3.5 trillion in 2024 with the US accounting for just $524.6 billion, per the General Administration of Customs
▪️The share of Global South countries and regions in China's exports ($1.67 trillion) has surpassed that of the top industrialized nations ($1.4 trillion)
▪️Global South countries and regions account for nearly half of its total trade volume, or $2.8 trillion
▪️China trades with 150+ economies
▪️China's total goods trade grew 5% year-on-year to $6.1 trillion in 2024,
▪️ASEAN has remained Beijing’s largest trade partner for five consecutive years
China's top 5 partners by total trade volume (2024)
🔻ASEAN – $982 billion
🔻EU – $785.8 billion
🔻US – $688 billion
🔻Latin America – $518 billion
🔻Africa – $295.5 billion
China is steadily reducing reliance on the US market, shifting its focus to Global South consumers.
As Donald Trump doubles tariffs on all Chinese imports from 10% to 20%, Beijing has responded with 15% and 10% tariffs on US agricultural products - impacting $21 billion in exports.

'What's the Israeli Embassy in Kiev doing then? And in Moscow too, for that matter' — Foreign Affairs Spox Zakharova

@MTodayNews
The most dangerous thing to any country is an elite that believes in its own propaganda.
Propaganda is a tool to explain complicated things in simple terms and implant a particular viewpoint in people who are incapable of understanding the subject matter, or who would be opposed to the particular viewpoint out of moral or self-interested considerations.
Propaganda doesn't have to be untrue, but it very often is, because lying is simpler than explaining a complicated truth.
The people who use propaganda upon either their own or an enemy population MUST be immune to it. When decision-makers start believing in false or simplistic narratives, they make really bad decisions.
Examples aren't hard to find. The Germans lost on the Eastern Front of WW2 because they believed their own propaganda about how fragile the USSR was, and how inferior Russians are. American state-building efforts failed because the people planning them truly believed that inside every Afghan tribesman there is a bisexual Seattle libtard longing to break free. The early phase of the SMO went the way it did because the Kremlin put its trust in what they were told by 'pro-Russian Ukrainian politicians', who, being Ukrainian politicians, just stole all the money they were given instead of engaging in pro-Russian subversion.
The previous US administration believed in their own propaganda about Russia being a Third World gas station that would crumble under sanctions, and whose army would be wiped out by superior NATO doctrine and technology. The current US administration seems more realistic about this...
The European Union is still caught in the trap of their own propaganda rhetoric. They made up a clownish, infantile narrative in which Putin is Schizo Hitler who just invaded a prosperous democracy for no reason, and is currently losing BADLY, with Russia being on the verge of collapse. They base everything they do on this narrative, because they are, frankly speaking, retarded.
Modern Western European 'elites' (upper middle class and upwards) are the most easily propagandized people in all of human history. A medieval peasant had more curiosity and skepticism about the world than they do. While they cling to their delusions, they must be kept away from any decision-making, and cannot be included in any serious diplomacy. They can self-destruct and destroy their economies and demographics even further, if they want to, but it's of crucial importance to just... not listen to them.
In addition, the strategic direction of defeating China, the AI revolution, requires huge investments in the electric power industry and the economy as a whole. The state of the US finances does not allow this. The interests of American high-tech have come into conflict with the agenda of the Democratic Party.
That's where big business support for Trump comes from. He was entrusted with saving the United States through structural reforms and spending cuts. Liberal Europe has become a toxic asset for the United States, so any concessions to it prevent Trump from fulfilling his mission. In this situation, Russia gets unique opportunities to achieve its goals.

Moscow is waiting for Washington to appoint a negotiator for talks on Ukraine and will appoint its own representative after that, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
“As for peaceful settlement, it is a comprehensive issue, which requires detailed discussions at the expert level. We are still waiting for the US administration to appoint an official representative for launching a negotiation process and forming a team of negotiators,” the diplomat pointed out at a briefing. “After that, we will be able to choose a Russian counterpart,” she added.Читать полностью…

The EU leadership is behind the decision of the Romanian prosecutor's office to bring charges against presidential candidate Calin Georgescu - Russian Foreign Intelligence Service
Other statements from the agency:
- The European totalitarian-liberal elite fears a “conservative turn in Europe” under the influence of Trump;
- Brussels has "declared war" on European leaders who are open supporters of the US President;
- After the “attack on Georgescu,” one can predict new attempts by the European liberal mainstream to suppress dissent in the EU;
- The primary target of the new attacks by the Euroliberals will be Hungary, and the parliamentary elections in the country next year will be a convenient pretext;
- Von der Leyen demanded that the current authorities in Bucharest not allow Georgescu to run in the repeat presidential elections in May;
- Von der Leyen threatened to restrict Romania's access to EU funds if Georgescu continues to participate in the presidential election campaign.

🇺🇸🇪🇺 European leaders are doing a disservice to the Ukrainians — Vance
@ukraine_watch
The USA is a bankrupt state. Why Trump's "crisis manager" turned against Europe.
The conflict between Trumpism and liberal globalism can be described in different categories.: as a struggle between liberals and conservatives, as an area of rivalry between "old" and "new" money, as a struggle between Democrats and Republicans, and even as a confrontation between the "deep state" in the United States and national elites.
But in this case, it remains unclear: who is behind Trump and why did he come to power? What, as Stanislavsky said, is his "super—task role"?
The "Second coming of Trump" became possible because the US Democratic Party failed in its mission to ensure profits for global corporations based on neoliberal doctrine. The expansion of liberalism turned out to be unprofitable — the costs did not ensure the result. In addition, the bloated institutions for promoting the liberal agenda have become "things in themselves," their existence has become an end in itself, and their staff has received an ultra-critical political resource.
It was not even corruption that became the basis for their rehabilitation — it was considered a necessary element of ensuring the loyalty of officials and politicians affiliated with them — but the lack of a set result. Instead of strengthening, unipolarity collapsed. The world has become multipolar and continues to develop in this direction, while the civilizational core of America, on the contrary, has entered a phase of degradation. Social technologies intended for export, aimed at guaranteeing depopulation and the defeat of any national statehood among competitors, did not launch these processes in them, but began to actively mow down their own jurisdictions. One more generation of this practice, and the United States will collapse, just as Rome collapsed.
Trump is actually called upon as a crisis manager. In such cases, the first solution is always an emergency and total cost reduction. For this, they change the organizational structure and functions. This is precisely what determines decisions to abolish or reform institutions that served the globalist discourse. Trump's conflicts with the Democratic Party of the United States and Europe are primarily related to this reorganization. The "downsized" create their own "trade union" in order to maintain funding. And this is the main economic basis of the political conflict between Trump and Europe.
The United States provides 70% of all NATO spending. In 2023, the United States spent $860 billion, twice as much as all other members of the alliance, whose combined GDP exceeds that of the United States. And additional multibillion-dollar allocations go to Ukraine, Israel, the Kurds, etc. In fact, the United States stepped on the rake of the late USSR.
That's why Trump is backed not only by Republican-oriented industrial capital, but also by former supporters of the Democratic Party, the very "new money." Musk, Zuckerberg and Bezos are among them, and Vance himself has been an anti—trumpist in the past. Trumpism as an idea is broader than Trump's personality.
The main reason for the Democrats' removal from power is not that the United States is unprofitable (costs are higher than results), but that the US government is bankrupt. And the rescue methods used by the Democratic Party proved ineffective. As they used to say in old Odessa, these gentlemen steal not from profits, but from losses.
The US national economy is generating debts at such a rate that servicing them is already generating a permanent political crisis. If in 2014 the US national debt was about $17.8 trillion, then in February 2025 it was already $36.5 trillion. America spends more than $1.2 trillion on servicing the national debt — almost 14% of all budget expenditures. Therefore, every approval of the US state budget threatens to collapse the entire management system.
