The Heads of State held talks in Beijing and took part in the opening ceremony of the XXIV Olympic Winter Games. The Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China, hereinafter referred to as the sides, state as follows. Today, the world is
I was watching Russian TV yesterday, and here is (roughly) the exchange which took place between the host and one guest. Here is what they both seemed to agree on: ——-begin nonsense——- Russia has a major problem. She cannot really deter the USA. Why? For two reasons: Russia has truly retreated as far as she can, while the USA have an almost limitless room for maneuver. The USA is under
First, I need to report a few things: Due to the current crisis, the blog’s readership has sharply risen. We have been contacted by enough excellent moderator candidates to fulfill all our needs. The Internet is literally exploding with speculations about tomorrow’s Putin-Xi meeting. Frankly, I prefer to wait for some official information before offering any analyses, which means that, unless something dramatic already happens tomorrow, you can expect my
It has begun. Small stuff, but quite worth mentioning. The Belarusian military has taken control of a Ukie reconnaissance drone and forced it to land. The Ukie ambassador was summoned. Details here. Russia has banned the German propaganda outlet Deutsche Welle. Here is a machine translation of the official announcement on the Russian Foreign Ministry’s website: On the content of response measures against the German media operating on the territory

Vladimir Putin President of the Russian Federation On the eve of my upcoming visit to China, I am pleased to communicate directly with the Chinese and foreign audience of Xinhua, the largest news agency. Our countries are close neighbours bound by centuries-old traditions of friendship and trust. We highly appreciate that Russia-China comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination, entering a new era, has reached an unprecedented level and become a

Disclaimer: this is not an analysis, just a quick initial reaction. So we now have both replies. First, Lavrov was right, compared to the NATO reply, the US reply is a model of diplomatic propriety. One could be forgiven to think that while the US reply was written by US officials, the NATO reply was written by a Pole. Except it is quite obvious that NATO member states can’t even
According to a Russian online magazine, this info was leaked by freelance stringer from Greece, located inside Ukraine, so Spain could publish them.
By Ramin Mazaheri for the Saker Blog I predict – along with nearly every poll made on the subject – that 2022 will see a repeat of the 2017 election in France: Marine Le Pen vs. Emmanuel Macron in the second round of April’s vote. Don’t be mistaken – so much has changed in 5 years! Remember these? “Two-speed solution for the European Union”, “Frexit”, “sortie de la zone euro!”

An anchor currency for international trade fixed against gold at $35 per ounce, and 2. A single and flexible national currency for the internal economy of the US – the $. From the outset this dual mandate for the US$ was problematic. As a global reserve

Someone had an absolutely hilarious idea: to create a new alliance between the UK, Poland and the Ukraine. By no coincidence at all, the acronym of this alliance spells out UPA, which in Russian (УПА) is the name given to Banderist “Ukrainian People’s Revolutionary Army” and/or “Ukrainian Insurgent Army“. This is great and makes everybody happy: For the Brits, this is a way to medicate their phantom pains about still
Dear friend, We need your help. One of our moderator had to reduce his moderation time for medical reasons while another had to leave for personal reasons. Yet in the same time, the current crisis in the Ukraine has resulted in a major spike of visitors and, therefore, having moderators available 24/7 is really becoming crucial.

by Observer R for the Saker Blog BACKGROUND In December 2021, Russia delivered two letters to the United States concerning the Security Architecture of Europe—commonly known as the “Not-Ultimatum.” The United States provided a written response to Russia in January 2022. This response was kept secret at the request of the United States. However, the Russian foreign minister announced that the response only covered secondary items and did not address
A senior LDNR military official, Col. Edward Basurin, the Deputy Head of the DPR People’s Militia Department, has confirmed that a false flag PSYOP operation was prepared by western special services (please make sure to also check the article Lilia Shumkova wrote about this).
