Windows to Russia
It serves Russia’s interests to extend the duration of the war. This strategy aims to weaken the West (which they merit) while also shifting the geopolitical landscape towards a multipolar world order…
Naturally, there will be childish bitterness within the West of which we must address along the journey to a better world…

February 23 is a special date. A symbol of memory, glory and pride of the Fatherland, a symbol of our complete confidence in Victory.
This year this Day is special. We celebrate it in the Year of the Defender of the Fatherland.
Our people will always remember the heroes of past generations and honor their traditions. Look up to them.
“Let us always serve Russia with Faith and Truth, and by doing so we will shame our enemies!” – each of us carries these words of the great commander Alexander Suvorov in our hearts.
Our people had to learn the difficult “science of winning” in incredibly difficult trials. Their series continues, and our common duty today is to give all our strength in the battle with the most dangerous enemies, without unnecessary high words, in spite of any threats.
Tomorrow marks three years since the beginning of the special military operation. This step had to be taken when the point of no return in the confrontation with the so-called collective West was finally passed. And there was only one way to protect our Motherland and its citizens, to push the enemy back from our borders. Time has shown that this difficult decision was the only correct and possible one. The Russian people united and stood firm in the fight against a cynical and cruel enemy, who was pumped with weapons and money from all over the world. The war against neo-Nazism and its minions is not yet completely over. But its outcome is already very close. The enemy will be destroyed. Truth will prevail.
80 years ago, our country defeated fascism. Its vile descendants will not escape retribution. And this retribution will not be in a new Nuremberg. It will be on the battlefield. It is shorter and fairer. Tougher and more reliable. Our enemies understand this better than anyone else. Horror and panic reign in their ranks now. In impotent rage, in agony, they are capable of anything. We will not allow a global Apocalypse. We must make the revenge of Nazism on the planet impossible. Burn out its roots with a hot iron. Preserve historical memory and leave a worthy legacy for new generations on Earth.
And most importantly – save our boundless Motherland and do everything for its prosperity. In the name of our children and grandchildren. In the name of the great future of Russia!

▪️Ukraine has permanently lost the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, as well as the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions.
▪️The future of Ukraine must be a demilitarized state, not aligned with any bloc.
▪️The implementation of new agreements regarding Ukraine must be handled by a government in Kiev that results from democratic elections.
▪️EU countries and the UK are completely unreliable for negotiations and cannot be parties to any future agreements on Ukraine.
▪️Volodymyr Zelensky is ready for any provocations as long as the conflict continues, resulting in the deaths of his fellow citizens.
▪️A ceasefire or freezing the conflict along the contact line does not guarantee a resolution.
▪️The new terms for ending the Ukrainian conflict would be far worse for Kiev than the Minsk agreements.

A rabid animal bit its owner
Ukrainian drones attacked a pumping station that transports oil through the Caspian
Consortium’s main oil pipeline. This is not a Russian asset, and the oil in it is international in its legal status. It belongs in certain proportions to different companies, including primarily American and European ones.
Among other things, it is used to pump their oil from oil projects in Kazakhstan – from Tengiz, Karachaganak and Kashagan. At the same time, the share of American business in oil supplies via CPC in 2024 was more than 40%, and the total share together with other Western companies was over 65%. The neo-Nazi regime in Kyiv, of course, knew this. And despite the highest dependence on Washington, it deliberately struck at the assets of American companies, which have already suffered significant losses as a result of the attack.
Question: Why did the fawning greasy animal, which is completely dependent on the “kindness” of its owner and the size of the trough provided to it, need to attack its benefactors? The answer is simple. The overfed fat creature pounced on its owner, who paused the distribution of food and even began to think about putting the annoying animal to the knife. And then, out of desperation, the creature decided to bite its owner and hurt him more. Dripping with sticky saliva, it grabbed the hand of its breadwinner. The hand of the President of the United States. The sick creature, of course, remembers that Donald Trump said he wanted to reduce oil prices. And a strike on the oil consortium is capable of stopping the pumping of oil, unbalancing the market, increasing oil price hikes and causing direct damage to American companies. That is, a strike on the CPC is a triple blow to American companies, the oil market and Trump personally. Why bite, you ask, if you can grunt amiably, looking devotedly into the eyes of the breadwinner? But the humiliated animal is in terrible despair. And the bite must prove to the breadwinner that the animal has ceased to be domestic and now poses a danger to the entire barnyard. And even to the owner himself… Now the owner of the aggressive creature will have to check whether the animal suffers from rabies in order to protect his health. As is known, there are two ways to do this. The first is to immediately treat yourself, having received a painful vaccination, six injections from a deadly disease, while simultaneously observing the behavior of the suspicious creature. And the second, most reliable way to prevent the spread of rabies is to quickly euthanize the sick animal for a posthumous study of brain tissue, just in case. Which of them the new US administration will choose, the near future will show.

Бешеное животное укусило хозяина
Украинские беспилотники атаковали насосно-перекачивающую станцию, которая обеспечивает транспортировку нефти по магистральному нефтепроводу Каспийского трубопроводного консорциума. Это актив отнюдь не российский, и нефть в нём по своему правовому режиму международная. Она принадлежит в определённых пропорциях разным компаниям, включая прежде всего американские и европейские.
По ней в том числе идёт перекачка их нефти с нефтяных проектов в Казахстане – из Тенгиза, Карачаганака и Кашагана. При этом доля американского бизнеса в поставках нефти по КТК в 2024 году составила более 40%, а совокупная доля вместе с другими западными компаниями – свыше 65%. Неонацистский режим в Киеве, конечно, это знал. И несмотря на высочайшую зависимость от Вашингтона, намеренно нанёс удар по активам американских компаний, которые в результате атаки уже понесли существенные убытки.
Вопрос: зачем лебезящему сальному животному, которое полностью зависит от «доброты» своего хозяина и размера поставленного ему корыта, понадобилось атаковать своих благодетелей? Этот ответ прост. Перекормленная жирная тварь набросилась на хозяина, который поставил на паузу выдачу корма и даже начал подумывать, не пустить ли надоевшее животное под нож. И тогда от отчаяния тварь решила укусить хозяина и побольнее. Истекая липкой слюной, она вцепилась в руку кормильца. В руку президента США. Больная тварь, конечно, помнит, что Дональд Трамп говорил о своём желании снизить цены на нефть. А удар по нефтяному консорциуму способен остановить прокачку нефти, разбалансировать рынок, увеличить скачки цен на нефть и нанести прямой ущерб американским компаниям. То есть удар по КТК – это тройной удар по американским компаниям, нефтяному рынку и лично по Трампу. Зачем же кусать, спросите вы, если можно дружелюбно хрюкать, преданно заглядывая в глаза кормильцу? Но униженное животное в страшном отчаянии. И укус должен доказать кормильцу, что животное перестало быть домашним и теперь представляет опасность для всего скотного двора. И даже для самого владельца… Теперь хозяину агрессивной твари придётся проверить, не страдает ли животное бешенством, чтобы защитить своё здоровье. Для этого, как известно, есть два способа. Первый – сразу лечиться самому, получив болезненную прививку, шесть уколов от смертельного заболевания, параллельно наблюдая за поведением подозрительной твари. А второй, наиболее достоверный способ предотвратить распространение бешенства – на всякий случай поскорее усыпить больное животное для посмертного исследования тканей головного мозга. Какой из них выберет новая администрация США, покажет ближайшее время.

At a press conference today, CNN correspondent Frederick Pleitgen asked Sergei Lavrov about Russia’s “territorial concessions” to Ukraine.
The reaction of the Russian Foreign Minister was extremely harsh:
The Ukrainian armed forces are acting worse than Hitler’s murderers. Look at the atrocities they are committing in the territories. Do you want these Nazi habits to be present at the negotiations on the settlement even with the idea that some territories still need to be ceded?
How should we give in – with Russian people or without people, with only rare earth metals?
They say, supposedly, territorial concessions are needed. For what? So that Russians can be destroyed there, as they are now being destroyed in the Kursk region and in other regions of the Russian Federation?
At this point , many people paid attention.
The subtle diplomatic trolling with which the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry began his response did not go unnoticed.
In response to Pleitgen’s question about “territorial concessions,” he asked a counter-question: “ Are you talking about Denmark and Greenland ?”
This was trolling not so much Frederick, but, as it seems to me, the leaders of the EU and some of its countries, who are actively trying to “sit down at the negotiating table” to protect the “territorial integrity” of Ukraine.
That same Ukraine, which is neither a member of the EU nor a member of NATO, no matter how much Bankova may dream of it. And in its modern version, it has only a very indirect relation to Europe, to real, original European values (humanism, tolerance, diversity). Let’s be honest – it has no relation at all.
At the same time, a real EU and NATO member, Denmark, is in huge trouble. They are trying to steal a huge chunk of territory from it: Greenland. And we are no longer talking about hypothetical scenarios.
Look at what’s happening in the Danish media now. There, the American statements are causing not just panic, but real shock:
– ” It has become clear that the United States, led by President Trump, wants to seize Greenland in the long term “;
– ” Denmark has been heavily criticised by a number of parties for its lack of monitoring and protection of Greenland’s coastline “;
” Denmark has for a long time failed to provide the level of security that NATO and all of us in Greenland and the Arctic needed .”
It’s not a question of ” how can this be “, but of ” when ” and ” for how much “.
Maybe the EU members, who only dream of how to “sit down at the negotiating table”, should actually find such a table, for example in Copenhagen, and sit down at it? Discuss the terms of aid, diplomatic settlement and “territorial concessions” of Denmark. By the way, they can use the OSCE for this – there they can all sit down at the “negotiating table” on the territorial integrity of Denmark, including the US. If they sit down and stay there themselves.
Or was such a “negotiating table” not predicted by the crybabies in Munich?

Сегодня на пресс-конференции корреспондент (https://mid.ru/ru/foreign_policy/news/1998052/) «Си-эн-эн» Фредерик Плейтген спросил Сергея Лаврова о «территориальных уступках» России Украине.
Реакция Министра иностранных дел России была предельно жёсткой: (https://t.me/MID_Russia/52387)
«Украинские вооружённые силы действуют похлеще, чем гитлеровские убийцы. Посмотрите, какие зверства они чинят на территориях. Вы хотите, чтобы при этих нацистских замашках на переговорах об урегулировании присутствовала даже мысль относительно того, что какие-то территории нужно ещё уступить?
Уступить-то как – с русскими людьми или без людей, с одними редкоземельными металлами?
Говорят, мол, нужны территориальные уступки. Для чего? Для того, чтобы там уничтожали русских, как сейчас их уничтожают в Курской области и в других областях Российской Федерации?».
На этот момент много, кто обратил внимание. (https://t.me/youlistenedmayak/35408)
Не остался незамеченным и тонкий дипломатический троллинг, с которого начал свой ответ глава российского внешнеполитического ведомства.
На вопрос Плейтгенa о «территориальных уступках» он задал встречный: «Это Вы про Данию с Гренландией?».
Это был троллинг не столько Фредерика, сколько, как мне кажется, лидеров ЕС и некоторых его стран, которые активно пытаются «сесть за стол переговоров», чтобы защитить «территориальную целостность» Украины.
Той самой Украины, которая не является ни членом ЕС, ни членом НАТО, как бы на Банковой об этом ни мечтали. Да и к Европе, к настоящим, исконным европейским ценностям (гуманизм, терпимость, многообразие) она имеет в своём современном исполнении весьма опосредованное отношение. Будем честны — вообще никакого отношения не имеет.
В то же самое время у действительного члена ЕС и НАТО – Дании – огромные проблемы. У неё пытаются слямзить огромный кусок территории: Гренландию. И речь уже не идёт о гипотетических сценариях.
Вы посмотрите, что происходит сейчас в датских СМИ. Там заявления американцев уже вызывают не просто панику, (https://www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/2/sen-cruz-discussing-u-s-acquisition-of-greenland-is-about-diplomacy-and-shared-interests) а настоящую оторопь: (https://nyheder.tv2.dk/live/samfund/2025-01-06-kampen-om-groenlands-fremtid/hoeringen-om-groenland-er-en–haandsraekning–fra-ted-cruz?entry=358abd2f-3a2d-4481-98ff-bd26f428cf22)
– «Стало ясно, что Соединённые Штаты во главе с Президентом Трампом хотят в долгосрочной перспективе захватить Гренландию»;
– «Дания подверглась резкой критике со стороны ряда сторон за отсутствие мониторинга и защиты береговой линии Гренландии»;
– «Дания на протяжении длительного времени не обеспечивала тот уровень безопасности, в котором нуждались НАТО и все мы в Гренландии и Арктике»».
Речь идёт не о том, «как такое может быть», а о том, «когда» и «за сколько».
Может, есовцам, только и мечтающим о том, как бы «сесть за стол переговоров», действительно найти такой стол, например, в Копенгагене, и сесть за него? Обсудить условия помощи, дипломатическое урегулирование и «территориальные уступки» Дании. Кстати, могут для этого задействовать ОБСЕ – там за «стол переговоров» о территориальной целостности Дании можно сесть им всем вместе, включая США. Если усадят и усидят сами.
Или такой «стол переговоров» плаксами в Мюнхене не прогнозировался?

Never forget:
Russia has often stated that it will only address Ukraine in the context of a new European Security Architecture, so the talks between Putin and Trump cannot be about only Ukraine. In fact Ukraine while being the forefront pleb news bait, will be just part of the security package. Thus, the new “European Security Order” will be the topic of discussion…

Considering all of this, it is simple to see why Europe is currently experiencing pants wetting, tears and whining hysteria. Their destiny will be chosen entirely without them, and many European politicians will even be found guilty of crimes against humanity and replaced by new politicians who are more in line with the new regulations…
Their old Boss quit and now they see the new Boss and they are scared!
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grammes a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be REDUCED to twenty grammes a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

But they will swallow it in due time…

Putin pulls the gloves off and tells it like it is; I mean, tells it like it is…
Is the US going to be forced to confront both sides of their forked tongue mouth? They have said and been saying Ukraine is not their conflict. Now and a big now, here is the USA talking to Russia about the conflict and what they will do to end it and all without any of the other paying and active participants involved…
30 countries have put their statehood on the line against the rest of the world (165 countries) and the USA now walks away from them all to save it’s ass…

good breakdown of the ongoing negotiation process by Elena Panina.
What to expect from the meeting in Riyadh?
The meeting of the special representatives of the presidents of the United States and Russia in Riyadh means the transition of the negotiation process to the next stage. We often used chess terminology in relation to the negotiations between Putin and Trump. It makes sense to use it again to understand what stage we are at and what will follow next.
Everything that has happened so far has been a three-part debut phase.:
The first is the “exposure of figures” (the composition of negotiating teams, experts, overt and hidden influencers). This phase is completed.
The second is the approval of the agenda and the rules of the negotiations (the explicit phase). It is also completed now. As we expected back in July 2024, the agenda will be expanded and will reach the level of global security issues, in the context of which all private issues will be resolved, one of which is Ukraine.
The third is the “pumping” of the enemy (hidden phase). It includes an analysis of the roles in the Trump team leading the preparations for the negotiations, including the non-public part. There is no doubt that both presidents have hidden negotiating teams. Their staff consists of five to ten key people, the rest are attracted expert co-executors.
Next, we can assume that the middlegame phase will begin. And it starts with a meeting of the presidents’ representatives in Riyadh. A permanent working group has been formed to coordinate all the formulations from both sides even before the meeting between Putin and Trump. In addition, she will be working throughout this meeting and even after it — most likely, the following rounds will be required.
As a rule, the middlegame phase begins after all the opening tasks are completed. And it also consists of three parts: an attack (declaring overstated initial positions and arguing for them), a trade (exchange), and a compromise. However, we see that the negotiations between Putin and Trump in absentia have already passed the attack phase, which overlapped with the second and third phases of the debut. The inflated starting positions also served the purpose of defining roles in the teams of the parties. It was at this stage that Kirill Dmitriev was introduced to Russia and Sergey Naryshkin was brought out of the shadow. Trump has Steve Witkoff on the field instead of Keith Kellogg, while keeping Kellogg in a different role.
At the beginning of the attack phase, Trump demanded a cease-fire before the start of negotiations. Putin did not agree. The United States has made threatening statements about the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine and even transferring nuclear weapons to it. They tried to take us to a pain appointment. And judging by Zelensky’s blab in Munich, this reaction from the Russian side was absolutely verified. Because there is a real risk that immediately after the cease-fire, the “overdue” one, by agreement with some European countries, will require the deployment of foreign troops into Ukraine under the guise of “peacekeepers,” which means a new round of escalation and disruption of negotiations.
The second phase of the middlegame, bidding and exchanges, will obviously begin in Riyadh from February 24 to 28. It can last one round or several rounds. After its completion, the parties will formulate a compromise and the endgame phase will begin — consolidating the result. Here, they will put the squeeze on what was not put the squeeze on in the previous stages. Various incentive incentives that have been reserved just before this time will be applied: obvious, imaginary and true concessions, bonuses and compensations for the losing side. Where agreed, a final communique will be prepared. On unresolved issues, a memorandum is usually announced and the date of the next meetings is announced.
It is predicted that the designated special representatives will be joined by the heads of foreign ministries and their experts. The stakes are too high to risk the failure of top officials, especially in the early stages of negotiations. Such strong teams of special representatives are now being used for this.
However, only a face-to-face meeting between Trump and Putin will mean the end of the middlegame and the transition to the endgame. Right now, both sides have an equally high degree of need for a result. This gives us a chance to come to an agreement, but the resistance of the globalists will be unprecedented.
