Congratulations to everyone for a very productive year!

On New Year's Eve, Scott Ritter came to Russia for the second time in a year at the invitation of the General Director of the Novosibirsk Region Development Corporation, Alexander Zyryanov. The journey, which this time will take place mainly in the southern regions of Russia, began at VDNH, with a visit to the stand of the Novosibirsk region at the "Russia" exhibition.
“For me, Russia now traditionally begins with Novosibirsk. And this is not a coincidence. It is, rather, a symbol of the fact that every city can be the center of world processes if it correctly understands its advantages and finds the right people to implement them. The stand of the Novosibirsk region is an important highlight of what this region is really strong: science, transport infrastructure and the digital environment. Thousands of cities around the world can only dream of such a successful combination. My personal guide is Alexander Zyryanov, who is responsible for the development of the region, as well as the head Development Corporation, is well versed in all the strengths and problematic aspects of his hometown. To all my - sometimes very sarcastic questions - he was able to find answers that are possible only when the professionalism of a manager is combined with the patriotism of a citizen. There are problem areas in any city and in any country, but they exist not to decorate them, but to work with them. The Novosibirsk stand at VDNKh shocked me with its justified ambition. I am sure that each of my subsequent visits to Russia will also begin in Novosibirsk, to monitor how this ambition is being realized."
Scott Ritter congratulated Novosibirsk residents and all Siberians on the upcoming New Year, saying that real miracles always come from snowy lands, probably because that’s where people live who are capable of surprising.

В аэропорту имени Ахмата-Хаджи Кадырова встретил делегацию во главе с американским военным экспертом, бывшим морпехом и разведчиком ВС США Скоттом Риттером.

В рамках визита у гостей запланированы экскурсионная программа по достопримечательностям региона и другие мероприятия. Делегация посетит Российский университет спецназа, мечеть «Гордость мусульман» в Шали и тд.

Это не первый визит Скотта Риттера в ЧР. Ранее он презентовал в регионе свою книгу «Гонка разоружения», посетил построение личного состава Специального полка полиции имени Героя России Ахмата Абдулхамидовича Кадырова МВД по ЧР и другие объекты.

Благодаря грамотной политике, проводимой в регионе Главой ЧР, Героем России моим дорогим БРАТОМ Рамзаном Ахматовичем Кадыровым, гости, которые посещают Чеченскую Республику, делятся самыми лучшими впечатлениями от увиденного. Дала т1аьхье беркате йойла! АХМАТ – СИЛА! АЛЛАХ1У АКБАР!

🇺🇸🇺🇦 In late December, the BBC published an article about American Paul Whelan, who was convicted in Russia on espionage charges in 2020. According to Whelan, he feels abandoned and betrayed by his country, which shows no desire to exchange him.

◾️ According to Paul, he has already been repeatedly removed from prisoner exchange lists — while the Russian side is interested in reaching an agreement with Washington on Whelan's issue.

◾️ The current situation — or, more precisely, the behavior of the American authorities — cannot but cause bewilderment. The unwillingness to exchange and rescue their compatriot is surprising, both from the point of view of humanity and politics.

◾️ And while everything is more or less clear with the former, the latter is not clear at all. Whelan's case could become a loud and noticeable PR move before the presidential elections in the United States and help the current administration to earn additional points in the eyes of the electorate. Because so far its rating is only declining — not least because of the Americans' failed strategy on Ukraine.
