Of course, it shows things in a much more Ukrainian favorable light than any Russian map, because the French are also backing the Ukies and because the French don’t have the same access as Russians. But, for contrast, here it is. Let’s call it “here is what they officially admit to” :-) Andrei source: https://www.defense.gouv.fr/ukraine-point-situation and just to add to the picture, here is a machine translation of the summary
Note by Andrei: Boris Alexandrovich Rozhin blogs under the alias Colonel Cassad. He is based in Crimea and reports about the events in the Ukraine on a daily basis. I don’t necessarily agree/endorse everything he said here (or elsewhere) and I don’t share his ideological views (he is a Communist). In in the interview he just gave to a Russian outlet he gives a lot of interesting information. So what
Today, no special topic. It will be a pure open thread (but moderation rules still apply). Cheers Andrei
By Amarynth for the Saker Blog and collaborating with Godfree Roberts’ Newsletter, Here Comes China Biden / Xi Summit. In perfect Chinese diplomatic terms, it looks like business as usual. Taken outside of the perfect diplomatic terms, it is a true spanking. Let’s take one paragraph only and remember a few things first: Washington, as usual, threatened and danced something like the haka and warned Xi not to support Russia
By James Tweedie for the Saker Blog What is fascism? With the Russian ‘de-Nazification operation’ in the Ukraine entering its fourth week and “Black Lives Matter” replaced with “I Stand With Ukraine” as the virtue-signal de jour, now seems like a good time to define it. While I’m a big fan of the Iranian journalist Ramin Mazaheri, I have to disagree with his latest article on The Vineyard of

https://www.mid.ru/en/foreign_policy/news/1805134/ Question: The sanctions that are currently imposed on Russia are of course unprecedented. And they are really negatively affecting the lives of ordinary Russians, even though Washington is saying that it’s not targeting Russians. What can you say about what the goals of these sanctions are and who the target really is? Sergey Lavrov: And we observe unprecedented steps our Western colleagues are taking. One of the underlying trends

Just saw that on Andrei Martyanov website: Zhao Lijian, a deputy director of the Chinese Foreign Ministry Informational Department, twitted this thing yesterday:
A friend send me 4 links to a movie about the Ukraine. Here are these links: I have decided to collate the four videos into one, then upload it to BitChute. I hope that I did not mess something up (I don’t have the physical time to check). I assumed that YouTube would block the video sooner or later (they already placed a disclaimer on top of it), so making
Dear friends, I think that three weeks into this special military operation we can take a few moments to pause and think about where we are and where we go from here. My first observation is this: there are, roughly, two main groups of people out there, those who “get it” and those who don’t. In practical terms, this is what this means for me: when I write I am
The “rules-based international order” – as in “our way or the highway” – is unraveling much faster than anyone could have predicted. By Pepe Escobar, posted with the author’s permission and widely cross-posted The Eurasia Economic Union (EAEU) and China are starting to design a new monetary and financial system bypassing the U.S. dollar, supervised by Sergei Glazyev and intended to compete with the Bretton Woods system. Saudi Arabia –

Today, I begin with this: something I would call a good summary of CNN’s wishful thinking This has everything! Putin is a “pure thug” Russians are indiscriminately murdering civilians en masse “Ex-KGB” “agent” says what his CIA handlers tell him to Klitschko is as verbally clever as he always is China is about to screw Russia over Drones threaten NATO (apparently including Ukie ones?) A retired colonel opines that Russia
https://t.me/mod_russia_en/238 ▫️The Russian Defence Ministry continues to study materials received from employees of Ukrainian laboratories on the implementation of military biological programs of the United States and its NATO allies on the territory of Ukraine. ▫️Western mass media and some biologists, who most often have a second American citizenship, express doubts about the reliability of the materials published by us. I would like to draw your attention to the fact
https://www.mid.ru/en/press_service/minister_speeches/1804655/ Question: Initially, the in-person talks were held in Belarus followed by online talks. You met with Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba in Antalya, Turkey, on March 10. What’s your take on the negotiating process? Sergey Lavrov: I did not fly to Turkey in order to forestall the Belarusian negotiating track agreed upon by Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky which is now being implemented via video conference.
Note by the Saker: to fully understand how evil and hypocritical all this business about “consecrating” Russia to something by the Latins, you need to be aware of two things: the Ukraine is the creation of the Papacy and its goal has always been the destruction of Russia and the so-called “Marian apparitions” are just one of the many hoaxes, falsifications, forgeries and outright satanic manifestations of the typical Latin
