Yet another Russian visa application to Europe denied.
This lady's dream was to attend Paris Fashion Week in the decadent West, but she'll have to settle for visiting Minsk Potato Week instead.
Zelenskyy is absolutely on point about russia and therein putin seeking security guarantees.
A nuclear power seeking security guarantees is a sham that people should see through, unless you're a putin apologist.
We keep hearing again that Russia supposedly needs security guarantees. Even though no one has attacked Russia for many decades. Since the Second World War, Moscow has not gone through even one decade without starting a war or using military force against another country.
So when the Russians now talk about a security architecture for themselves, or about security guarantees for Russia – they are hardly talking about real security. And peace.
What they really want – is to freely interfere in the affairs of other countries, and to use force whenever they want, and to make sure that no one can support liberty inside Russia because Putin wants to keep his personal power forever and pass on his imperialist and, in many ways, simply fascist views to the next generations.
From a speech at the Danish Folketing. (3/3)
This is the sham circus the putin apologists - Jared and Witless are running for the putin's trumpushka.
There will be 0 outcomes out of this circus that unqualified pair of putin boot licking chipmunks are running as last resort.
The Russians have completely lost their f**king minds
Medinsky had barely left the negotiating room when he declared that every inch of Russian land would be reclaimed — “one way or another”.
The masks are off. The occupiers didn't even bother to put on a vaguely respectable face. They turned up in Abu Dhabi with their hatred, their vile behaviour and their fear of the Kremlin maniac.
The Kremlin has repeatedly tried to justify its war against Ukraine by falsely claiming that the possibility of NATO expansion to include Ukraine threatened Russian security. MORE ⬇️
US, Ukrainian, and European officials publicly agreed on the need for credible post-war security guarantees for Ukraine and the involvement of European officials in future multilateral negotiations to end the war in Ukraine — conditions that the Kremlin has repeatedly and explicitly rejected.
Reported proposals to redraw the administrative borders of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts to allow Russia to claim that it seized all of the Donbas region and compel Russia to accept a deal to end the war neglect Moscow’s wider territorial aims in Ukraine that go far beyond these two oblasts.
Putin and the Russian military command have created a false reality based on exaggerated claims of sweeping advances across the frontline such that the Kremlin would likely try to exploit any discussion of redrawing administrative borders based on the frontline to serve Russia’s interests.
Our team reported on the results of the meetings in Abu Dhabi with the American and Russian sides, as well as the coordination with European partners present in the Emirates. First, there is an important humanitarian arrangement regarding preparations for a new exchange. Second, the parties discussed their views on guaranteeing security, and it is necessary that the first step be ending this war and providing security guarantees for Ukraine. Third, broader formats for further work involving the Europeans were discussed.
Next, the American representatives are heading to Russia, and after those talks, we will coordinate our positions once again and determine what next steps are possible. We are meeting with them tomorrow in Dublin. Ukraine’s priority is to end the war as soon as possible with a dignified peace. We believe that Europe must be represented at every stage of real diplomacy. It is essential that the United States have a strong position and exert influence on the source of this war – that is Russia – so that Russia ends the war of its own making.
Thank you to everyone who is helping! I thank the American side for organizing the meetings and for its mediation. I thank the Emirates for providing a venue for the talks. And I thank Mette and all our European friends for their principled and strong position in pursuit of peace. Glory to Ukraine!
🇷🇺 The circus goes on: the country with the largest nuclear arsenal on the planet continues to pretend that it needs security guarantees and that it's not the one threatening global security.
🤡 Medinsky: “The conflict in Ukraine has shown that the entire European security system established after the Yalta and Potsdam Conferences is functioning very poorly.”
Very well put. The country with its security shouldn't be so insecure, it's obviously the leader / dictator of the country who is insecure or of imperialistic tendencies.
This has honestly become such a circus and with social media to boot, and easily convinced sheep, far more complicated than the war itself.
I only look for Ukraine's leadership to kick this to kerb.
