🇷🇺 Representative of Russia to UN Nebenzya:
◾️ Relations between Russia and the EU, in fact, no longer exist.
◾️ EU is debating how best to dismember and destroy Russia.
◾️ US and EU are bringing the world closer to a suicidal conflict by ramping up arms supplies to Kiev.
◾️ EU statements about good neighborliness with the Russian Federation turned out to be fables to cover up the fight against Moscow with the hands of Kiev.
◾️ EU is hooked on expensive drug - US gas, which is experiencing record inflation.
◾️ EU swallowed the undermining of Nord Streams, trying to cover the tracks.

🇨🇳 As long as America's hegemonic policies and warmongering tendencies continue, there will be no peace in the world — Chinese foreign Ministry
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin: What is really worrying is the destructive influence of the United States on world peace and stability. America is the biggest producer of war. The U.S. has not been at war for just 16 years of its 240-year history. The U.S. has initiated about 80 percent of the world's armed conflicts since the end of World War II. The U.S. has violated the sovereignty of other countries the most and has interfered in the internal affairs of other countries. Since the end of World War II, the U.S. has tried to overthrow more than 50 foreign governments, violently interfered in elections in at least 30 countries, and tried to assassinate more than 50 foreign leaders. The U.S. remains the largest source of confrontation between the camps. The NATO wars against Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria, led by the United States, have resulted in more than 900,000 deaths and 37 million refugees. As long as America's hegemonic policies and warlike tendencies continue, there will be no peace in the world.

NATO sees signs that China may be planning to send weapons to Russia.
Alliance chief Jens Stoltenberg said this in an interview with Reuters.
"We have not seen any shipments of lethal aid from China to Russia, but we see signs that they are considering and possibly planning to do so, and that is why the US and other allies are very clear warning against it," Stoltenberg said.
The NATO chief said China was a member of the UN Security Council and Russia's war against Ukraine was a violation of the UN charter.
"The basic principle of this charter is to respect the integrity of other nations and not to invade another country with hundreds of thousands of troops, and of course, China should not be part of that," he said.

The Wagner PMC has stopped punishing mercenaries with executions amid heavy losses.
The Wagner mercenaries captured in Ukraine have told The Washington Post how the Russian PMC's policy on executions for refusing to fight has changed.
The mercenaries, 30-year-old Ilya and 35-year-old Mikhail were captured in Ukraine in northern Bakhmut. Both said they had been recruited while serving sentences in Russian colonies for causing death while intoxicated.
The mercenaries said that the PMCs warned them that anyone who tried to escape from the front would be "nullified" (so Wagner called the executions).
According to them, a shocking loss of the PMCs has dramatically changed the situation. Ilya says that within 72 hours 400 "Wagnerites" were killed during an attempt to storm the village of Krasnaya Gora near Bakhmut, and their corpses were simply left lying on the snow.
Those who broke the rules - deserters, those who took alcohol or drugs - were no longer executed in the face of heavy casualties, the captives say.

Biden visits Kiev as he seeks to use war in his pitch for reelection, says Lukashenko.
However, according to the Belarusian president, the move cannot be considered original, as a similar visit was also held recently by the Americans.
President Joe Biden’s visit to Kiev was a PR move for his pitch for reelection, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said in an interview with Chinese media on Thursday.
"This is parroting." A similar thing has already been done. The same kind of visit What for? because of the presidential election. Joe Biden wants to use war in his pitch for re-election. "It is not going to work," the president said, as cited by the BelTA news agency.
"Well done. "He hit the road; he asked permission from Russia or warned Russia, but nevertheless he went there," Lukashenko noted.
However, according to the Belarusian president, the move cannot be considered original, as a similar visit was also held recently by the Americans.
Lukashenko pointed out that Biden’s visit to Ukraine was one of a series of events, such as the incident with the downed Chinese balloon.
"The visit of Joe Biden to Kiev had a similar purpose. "Such a petty, inappropriate move," the Belarusian leader said, adding that "China will not be left in peace."
"China is the United States' main rival." The Americans do not hide this. "It is sad that they stoop so low," Lukashenko said. "They put on a show like they always do." They made a big deal out of nothing to convince their society of the "danger" of that Chinese object.
When the attention of 300 million people, mostly Americans, was glued to that object, they shot it down. For what? The election campaign is around the corner. "They did it to show their heroism."
The president indicated that later people understood that it was just an unfriendly move against China.
"The Chinese immediately said that it was a civilian balloon." The two countries could have worked together to sort things out. "But they deliberately destroyed it," Lukashenko underscored.

West discusses supplies of 4th and 5th generation jets to Kiev, Nuland says.
"But again: This is an evolving picture as we see what Ukraine needs," Nuland said.
The West is considering options for supplying fourth- or fifth-generation fighter jets to Ukraine, US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland said in an interview with the Washington Post.
"We're continuing to have those conversations, both internally [within the US administration] as we look at longer-term air defense [that Kiev needs] and also with Ukraine." "There are some countries in Europe that are interested in providing those [fighter jets], and as the president [Joe Biden] said, that's the choice that they will make," the top State Department official said, commenting on whether this concerns the West’s possible supplies of fourth- or fifth-generation fighter jets to Kiev.
"But again: This is an evolving picture as we see what Ukraine needs," Nuland said.

Russia "is studying Brazil's proposal for peace in Ukraine", said the deputy foreign minister Mikhail Galuzin. Brazil's proposal is very similar to China's, involving a ceasefire (unlikely to be accepted by Russia as Ukraine can't be trusted to uphold it) and the end of western supplies of weapons to Ukraine. At the same time, Galuzin said he "appreciates" Brazil not caving in to American pressure to supply Ukraine with weapons. Brazil recently refused ammunition exports to Germany due to concerns that they would be re-sent to Ukraine

⚡️UK forms 'secret working group' for purchasing weapons for Ukraine in various countries around the world — NYT
Both Britain and the United States have financed deals using third-party countries and brokers in cases where manufacturing countries don’t want to be publicly identified as providing weapons to Ukraine, people familiar with the effort say.
The secret task force created by the British defense ministry focused on getting Soviet-style ammunition, say people familiar with the effort, a task that became harder as the war went on and big suppliers ran out of stock.
Last June, Britain made a deal with Pakistan to buy 40,000 artillery shells and rockets made by the government-owned Pakistan Ordnance Factories. Under the terms of the deal, Britain would pay a Romanian broker to buy the Pakistani weapons, documents show. The transaction’s official paperwork said the weapons would be transferred from Pakistan to Britain, with no mention of Ukraine, a document obtained by The Times shows.
The deal fell apart after the Pakistani supplier was unable to deliver the ammunition, said Marius Rosu, the export chief of the Romanian broker, Romtehnica.
Such problems are common in deals relying on brokers and far-flung manufacturers. Mr. Rosu said his company does not send weapons to Ukraine. He said customers elsewhere may buy weapons from Romtehnica and later send them to Ukraine.
“That is not our problem,” he said.

Hey hey, my question is related to the upcoming counterattack that Ukraine wants to launch in the spring. We all now that in Bahmut and Soledar the Nazis had enormous losses which are also unsustainable. Does this mean that the new mobilised will have to fill the gap in Donbas instead of attacking Zaporozhie?
A : The Ukrainian Armed Forces are facing a serious shortage of manpower. As a result, Ukrainian men and even Ukrainian teenagers are literally kidnapped from bars, streets, resorts, hotels, and public transport. The newly mobilized Ukrainian boys will definitely be sent to the Donbass meat grinder for political purposes and propaganda. I personally don't believe that Ukraine has the strength to attack Zaporozhye at this moment; however, if NATO secretly sends its Polish army, then there could be some chances of a counteroffensive near Zaporozhye.

How do you see the Transnistria situation developing?
Life has been quite unaffected in Priednestrovie (get used to its real name. Transnistria is a word of romanian origin that has never been used to describe the region before the region was occupied by the nazis. Nothing that will get you beaten in Tiraspol, but adopting this as the english translation in the name sounds bit of a provocation) during the SMO except for the period in April/May where Ukraine was threatening with drones and sabotage. Ukraine is one of the biggest suppliers of food and products for the region. It would be unwise for Ukraine to open another front with the situation they are facing and provoke Priednestrovie out of neutrality, but they did several unwise things before. What is worrying is the lack of alternatives from Russia to answer in case they go barking mad. The peacekeeping contingent there is small, and the Priednestrovian army was made to fight Moldova, not a large country armed to the teeth by the richest countries of the world. The population there is essentially russian, and Ukraine certainly wouldn't be nice to them.
Even if the chances of something happening are small, Russia needs to develop a plan for it. It is something that I have been alerting since the SMO started. The retreat from Kherson made choices even worse. They could bomb the Ukrainian and Moldovan armies with the airforce, but eventually an invasion of Budzhak by the sea would be needed to stabilish a land corridor.

Such an attack, if it happens drastically changes the picture. The first time, Russian troops would be attacked on the territory of another state. That opens the door for retaliatory attacks. Chances of defending Transnistria are nonexistent, at least, by the information we have now.
