β—οΈπŸ“Ή For three and a half years we've listened to endless stories from the Biden team about how:

βœ–οΈThe border is secure
βœ–οΈTrump's measures have been rescinded
βœ–οΈBiden doesn't have the authority
βœ–οΈNo executive action will help

🀑And what's the outcome? Biden announces stricter border policy.

Biden hopes this switch will save his presidential campaign. But we all remember what they said. Let's remind everyone else of that, too.

Arming the Zelensky regime: Find out which countries are top donors

During a meeting with heads of international news agencies on the sidelines of the 2024 St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Moscow has the right to provide weapons to the regions from where strikes will be launched against β€œsensitive facilities” of those countries who deliver weapons to Ukraine, Let’s see which countries are currently arming the Kiev regime.

The Kiel Institute for the World Economy, a German think tank, compiled data on the top donors of weapons and equipment to Ukraine from February 2022 to February 2024. Here is a list of the top ten countries based on this information.

β–ͺ️The US - $46.2 billion
β–ͺ️Germany - $10.7 billion
β–ͺ️The UK - $5.7 billion
β–ͺ️Denmark - $5.2 billion
β–ͺ️The Netherlands - $4.1 billion
β–ͺ️Poland - $3.2 billion
β–ͺ️Sweden - $2.9 billion
β–ͺ️France - $2.9 billion
β–ͺ️Canada - $2.1 billion
β–ͺ️Finland - $1.9 billion

The Russian Investigative Committee earlier mentioned a total of 13 countries that currently provide Ukraine with heavy weapons, guided missiles, shells, and drones. Aside from the US, the UK, Poland, Germany, France and Canada,and Scandinavia the list includes:

β–ͺ️Australia - $880 million
β–ͺ️Croatia - $196 million
β–ͺ️The Czech Republic - $1.8 billion
β–ͺ️Portugal - $137 million
β–ͺ️Romania - $3.38 million
β–ͺ️South Korea - $394 million
β–ͺ️Turkiye - $65 million

(figures - based on information from open sources - are related to a period between 2022 and 2023)

Then-Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, for his part, said late last year that shortly after the onset of Moscow’s special military operation, a total of 54 countries announced the deliveries of weapons eato the Zelensky regime. β€œIn reality, however, Kiev receives arms and equipment from 15 countries,” Shoigu added without elaborating.

Which country supplies Ukraine with heavy weaponry the most?

The Czech Republic gave Kiev almost 60% of its heavy weapons stockpiles for the war with Russia. Norway contributed 53% while Germany contributed a quarter.

Also in the top ten are Denmark with 39%, the Netherlands with 38% and the UK with 24%.

Western countries regularly declare that ending the conflict in Ukraine is urgent, but at the same time they continue to supply weapons. Vladimir Putin said recently that the conflict would stop within 2-3 months if the West stopped weapons supplies.

β€œThe share of gas in the global energy balance may exceed the share of oil in 20 years,” Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said at SPIEF.

We have collected the key points of his speech:

Over the past two years, Russia has redirected about 80% of all energy exports to friendly countries. This is mainly the Asia-Pacific region, countries of Africa and Latin America;

The share of national currencies in payments for the export of Russian energy resources reaches about 70%;

Oil demand on the horizon until 2030 may reach 110–115 million barrels per day. Today demand remains at 102 million and will not increase shortly;

OPEC+'s decision on production levels until the end of 2025 helps the oil market remain stable;

In 2024, Russia will produce about 515 million tons of oil;

The Russian energy sector provides 50–60% of the country's exports, as well as a huge volume of investments - about 7 trillion rubles per year, which create conditions for the work of other industries, as well as the development of science and industry.

β€œNow there are no prerequisites for negotiations between Moscow and Kiev, Ukraine has closed all doors” - Peskov

β€œEvery new supply of weapons to Ukraine brings tension to a new level,” Peskov added. β€œThey ALREADY heard and considered this clear signal from Putin” - Peskov about the president’s words about the possibility of supplying Russian weapons to other regions of the world in the event of long-range Western weapons striking Russia


There should be no negotiations with Ukraine, because there should be no Ukraine. And only when Ukraine disappears will the war end. If the West seeks an escalation of war with Russia, the West will receive an escalation of war with Russia. You don’t have to look at the fact that Russia doesn’t want to fight and is looking for peace. This is precisely the reason for the escalation on the part of the West. The West cannot allow Russia to win. Russia cannot afford to be defeated. And in the end, having failed to defeat Russia with conventional weapons, NATO will launch a nuclear strike on Russia, which will not go unanswered. It's easy to avoid this. The USA and NATO came to Ukraine to fight Russia. The USA and NATO must leave Ukraine and they will leave.

πŸ‡²πŸ‡© Moldovan opposition leader Ilan Shor calls for joining the Union State of Russia and Belarus

Moldova should grow closer to Russia, so it would be worth discussing the possibility of joining the Union State of Russia and Belarus, Moldovan opposition politician Ilan Shor, the leader of "Pobeda" (Victory) political bloc, told Russian media.

"Russia is our friend, our partner; we should move forward together. Moreover, I believe that there is a possibility to expand even the format of the Russia-Belarus Union State. There is a possibility for consideration and for dialogue. This is important,’ Shor clarified.


According to the politician, only by uniting could Moldova and Russia stand against the West, as Moldova itself is needed by the West only for its own purposes.

"Why do they need Moldova? And I'll tell you – it's a testing ground. A testing ground of free hands for war. It's a testing ground to bully. Maybe they'll send immigrants to us at some point. We have nothing in common with them. Here [with Russia and Belarus] we've been in the same family for years, we know each other, we speak the same language. We understand each other, we have common values," he added.

πŸ‡²πŸ‡© Moldova should become a full-fledged member of the EAEU – opposition leader Ilan Shor

Most Moldovans believe in a future with the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), Moldovan opposition politician Ilan Shor, the leader of "Pobeda" political bloc, said at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

"We believe that the only way out for the Republic of Moldova today is to become a full-fledged, full member of the EAEU. We really understand today that we want to become a participant of the platform, a unified platform in the field of economy, in the field of ideology, in the field of foreign policy, in the field of security policy. Today this is more important for Moldova than ever,” Shor emphasized, addressing the SPIEF session β€œThe Greater Eurasian Partnership as a New Pole of Growth: Potential and Prospects”.


Shor claimed that the majority of Moldovan voters have already become disillusioned with the European Union and European values, as politicians who entered power on these slogans are closing opposition television channels in the republic and removing unwanted politicians from elections.

"We clearly understand that today the majority of the people of Moldova believe in a future with the EAEU… We have had enough of fairy tales and carrots on sticks for the last 20 years. Today we want real friendship, cooperation and mutual understanding and relations,” he declared.

Milei has already canceled his trip to Italy for the G7 and abandoned a meeting with Macron. Milei is preoccupied with local problems that have arisen through the adoption of new reforms in Argentina.

Earlier, Biden said he would not attend the Ukraine "peace" summit either, while Australia is sending its Minister for Disability Insurance. 🀭
