💬 The answer to the question as to who benefits from these developments is obvious. The prime beneficiaries are the US and its suppliers of expensive LNG.
An indicative fact is also Sweden and Denmark’s refusal to allow Russia and the pipeline operator company to take part in the investigation, while there were no objections on their part to the Americans expressing readiness to “join the process.”
#NuclearDeterrence
💬 It is the Americans and their allies who are trying to introduce nuclear rhetoric into public circulation.
Westerners turn everything upside down, alleging that Russia is vocalising nuclear threats and that it can use nuclear weapons against Ukraine, by using various manipulations and outright lies in the process.
President Vladimir Putin and Russian officials have repeatedly made it clear that our nuclear deterrence policy is purely defensive in nature.

#Ukraine
As a result of the destruction of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant due to prolonged shelling by the Ukrainian armed forces, 36 settlements in Kherson Region were flooded.
A large-scale humanitarian operation has been taking place in this Russian region over the last few days. Russian Emergencies Ministry workers rescued almost 2,000 people, among them hundreds of children.
While Russia is making every effort to save the residents of the affected areas and to provide them with essential supplies, Kiev continues to target civilian sites.
#NuclearDeterrence
Russia is fully committed to the principle of the inadmissibility of a nuclear war. There can be no winners in such a war, and it must never be waged.
The hypothetical use of nuclear weapons is only possible under extraordinary circumstances for purely defensive purposes.
#EU
An astronomical amount of [COVID19] vaccines, many times the size of the EU population, was purchased on behalf of the EU member states, at an astronomical cost and mainly from a single company, Pfizer.
The multi-billion dollar amount and the terms of the contract were not made public. This was done without bidding, without documents and without witnesses. Such decisions were made simply by text message.
