Excellent statement of Russia’s rep at the UNSC (dubbed in English) (UPDATED with transcript)
TRANSCRIPT: (thanks to “OP”!!) (After Ukrainian representative’s statement) Thank you, Ms. Chairman.

Now it is a half past nine p.m. and it means that it is about a half to four a.m. now in Ukraine. In a couple of hours, the morning
What is Putin really saying to the EU – negotiate or else…

Sergei Lavrov: It’s not Russia that is destabilising Ukraine

We understand perfectly well the position of a country which became independent just over 20 years ago and still faces complex tasks in constructing a sovereign state. Among them
A new Cold War has begun – let us embrace it with relief!
Considering the relative lull which seems to be taking place in the Ukraine, this might be a good time to look at the impact which the dramatic developments in the Ukraine have had upon the internal political scene in Russia and what that, in turn, could mean for the international (dis)order. In order to do that, I would like to begin by a short summary of a thesis which I
