Hi Everyone,

I am posting today because we at Slavyangrad would like to send a special thank you to Alexander Mercouris for his very encouraging words about us in his videos.

Everyone here at Slavyangrad does this out of love for Russia. We do not get any monetary return from this channel. However, we have immense respect for people like Alexander who willingly forge a career out of dispelling the outright lies of the mainstream media and these awful, hostile governments.

So, as a thank you to Alexander for his many kind words about us, I would like to provide you all with some links to both him and Alex Christoforou (the other half of The Duran team) below.

We appreciate everyone, from journalists to subscribers, who fight to get the truth out there.

On behalf of the team here at Slavyangrad, thank you all.

- Grigori

Germany has no current plans to send Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, a government spokesperson told a regular briefing on Monday.

Germany last week announced it was sending Marder fighting vehicles to Kyiv, answering calls for more heavy weapons to repel Russian forces. Germany's economy minister also said Berlin cannot rule out the delivery of the Leopard tanks, which are heavier fighting vehicles than the Marders.

At the same time, German Chancellor Scholz said that the country would not "unilaterally" supply heavy tanks to Ukraine.

The creation in Belarus of an allied group of troops with the participation of the RF Armed Forces is not aimed at attacking Ukraine, or even more so Lithuania, but at protecting the territory of Belarus from Poland, which will increase its troops to 300,000 by spring. Despite the fact that the number of the Belarusian army is only 50 thousand people, and there are practically no contract soldiers, only conscripts. Boris Rozhin's information about the formation by Warsaw of new armored units in the east of the country only confirms this conclusion.

Preparations are underway for the deployment of a Polish contingent to Ukraine. This could be Poland's (and NATO's) reaction to the Union state and allied forces created by Belarus and Russia. 

Poland's defence minister has announced the creation of a new division (!) in the east of the country. It will be deployed in the Podlaskie voivodship, which borders the Grodno and Brest regions of Belarus.

The division will consist of four brigades, and each brigade, in turn, will consist of four battalions. The military units will be deployed in Lomza, Grajowa, Cologne, Siemiatycz, and Czerny Bory (all towns and villages in the Podlaskie Voivodeship).

Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said the division would be equipped with the latest NATO military equipment.

The Economist magazine believes that the opening of China's borders after three years of coronavirus lockdown will be the biggest economic event of 2023, which will affect global demand and lead to higher prices in the world, including energy.

Analysts believe that China's economy may still shrink in the first quarter, but economic activity will pick up sharply as soon as Chinese demand for goods, services, and raw materials recovers.
As a result, GDP growth in the first quarter of 2024 may be more than 10% compared to the same period in 2023. Thus, China can independently provide a significant part of the global economic growth during this period.

At the same time, in many countries(particularly in the EU countries) this could lead to higher inflation and interest rates, as well as higher global energy prices.

Ukraine vowed to regularly attack Russia

The head of Ukrainian intelligence, Kirill Budanov, has promised new strikes on Russian territory, Gazeta reports.

“Ukraine may be preparing something,” Polish General Tomasz Drewniak commented in an interview with ABC News. However, she cannot count on the help of the West. She will have to use "for retribution" weapons of her own production. Otherwise, Russia will say that it was attacked by NATO.

Frankfurter Rundschau - Russian Zircon hypersonic missiles have become a nightmare for the West:

“For Western military strategists, hypersonic missiles are a nightmare. Unlike other missile systems, projectiles can still be controlled even after they have been fired. This combination of controllability and speed makes them virtually invulnerable to anti-aircraft systems.
