Kallas upset Kiev by reporting problems with the transfer of 40 billion euros
The European Union is facing difficulties in approving a €40 billion aid plan for Ukraine - EU Foreign Service Chief Kaja Kallas stated.
There is general political support, but there are still many details that need to be agreed upon. The defence ministers still need to speak out on this issue, and we intend to listen to them,- Kallas said.
❕Key takeaways from Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov’s interview with media:
▪️Top-level contacts, such as the conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump, can be arranged very quickly
▪️Russia and the United States are on the path towards reviving bilateral relations
▪️The upcoming conversation between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump was arranged in just a few days
▪️The Kremlin is now preparing talking points on the Ukrainian issue for the Putin-Trump conversation
▪️It is currently impossible to give an exact timeframe for a potential meeting between the Russian and US presidents
▪️The US withdrawal from the international group investigating Russia’s actions in Ukraine is nothing but a “reduction of unnecessary elements”
▪️The Ukrainian conflict can only be resolved by eliminating its root causes, while deploying a NATO military contingent in Ukraine will only fuel the conflict

For the first time in nearly 70 years, America faces a third straight year of agricultural trade deficits — hitting record highs
Do you think Trump's trade wars will fix this?

Russia will demand cast-iron security guarantees for concluding a peace treaty with Ukraine — Russian Foreign Ministry
📝Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko said that Russia will insist on security guarantees within the framework of a peace treaty with Ukraine.
“If we talk about a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Ukraine, then, of course, it will have an external contour. We will demand that cast-iron security guarantees become part of this agreement. Since only through their formation will it be possible to achieve lasting peace in Ukraine and generally strengthen regional security. Part of these guarantees should be the neutral status of Ukraine, the refusal of NATO countries to accept it as a member of the alliance”
"They will become a party to the conflict with all the consequences"

Just a thought:
It would take 100 Western Europeans to effectively replace a Ukrainian on the battlefield.
It would take 500 Western Europeans to effectively face a Russian on the battlefield.
Is this Russia's fault?
No, three decades of degeneracy imposed on the European people did it.
According to the EU agenda of the last 30 years masculinity is toxic, heterosexuality is bad, being white and be proud about it is racism, preserving local traditions is fascist, believing that you can change sex whenever you want is democratic, not procreating is good, and so on...
Even though Western liberal elites would like to wage war against Russia directly it would be impossible in these circumstances (no, drones don't win wars, and no, robots replacing entire armies are not on the horizon yet) and they have noone to blame besides themselves.
You can spend 1 trillion € and it won't change anything for the next three decades at least without a radical change in ideology which implies Kalergi and all his crappy dystopic ideas are going to be put into the trash can...

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇱 NEW: U.S. President Donald Trump, who claimed 'My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker' on his inauguration day, has since bombed three countries: Somalia, Syria, and Yemen. This is in addition to $12 billion worth of military aid sent to Israel and the 100 U.S. troops stationed there to operate two 'THAAD' air defense systems, which were moved to Israel in October (on Biden's orders), with no news of their removal from the Pentagon since.
These three countries, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen, have remained U.S. targets since Obama's presidency, during which he was bombing seven countries simultaneously at one point.
Trump has repeatedly spoken out against 'endless wars' since his first term and opposed military intervention in the Middle East just two months ago, stating that 'We got nothing out of it except a lot of death.' However, his actual policies remain unchanged.

'Ukrainian soldiers fighting in Russia's Kursk region have described scenes 'like a horror film' as they talk about their retreat from the front lines.
-The roads are littered with hundreds of destroyed cars, armored vehicles and all-terrain vehicles. Many are wounded and killed.
- Dozens of destroyed vehicles. The debris created congestion on supply routes.
-The supply line was completely under Russian fire control. 2-3 drones could arrive in a minute.

🇷🇺Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Grushko on deployment of peacekeepers in Ukraine:
The OSCE special monitoring mission that was deployed in Ukraine failed to fulfill its tasks. In fact, it was used by NATO to gain unilateral advantages for the Kiev regime. Now it has come to light that some members of this mission, who were supposed to be neutral and ensure strict implementation of the mandate, were actually working in Kiev's interests.
And it is no secret that many residents of Donbas said: "OSCE observers have passed by - wait for shelling". That is why we are extremely sceptical about the OSCE being involved, even theoretically.
It is impossible not to see that the purpose of these throw-ins about the deployment of contingents of Western countries on the territory of Ukraine is to prepare public opinion for the most radical scenarios, part of the campaign to increase military psychosis and demonization of Russia.

Britain's desire to seize Russia's assets stems from a long tradition of piracy in England, which has become a hallmark of the British crown, alongside "robbery and murder," Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
"This is one of the English traditions, akin to afternoon tea and horse racing. The fact is that piracy was effectively legalized in England," Zakharova wrote on her Telegram channel. "Pirates were prohibited from attacking English ships but were permitted to rob those of rival nations. It is a case of ‘immoral morality’,” she noted.
