🔸 Russia “constantly draws the attention of the international community to attempts to kill journalists in the conflict zone in Ukraine, but the reaction remains insufficient.”

❗️The presidents of Russia and the US are currently being briefed on the results of the Riyadh negotiations, Russian FM told journalists.

More statements by Sergey Lavrov:

🟠The talks in Riyadh primarily focused on ensuring safe navigation in the Black Sea, he added.

🟠Russia supports the resumption of the Black sea Initiative in a more acceptable form for all

🟠Russia is concerned about the food security of African countries, the Global South, and the East, suffering from the "games of the West."

🟠Russia wants no one to attempt to push it out of the grain and fertilizer markets.

🟠The Russian delegation at the meeting with the US in Riyadh on the maritime truce requested that the new Black Sea Initiative be free of ambiguities.

🟠Guarantees for Russia from Ukraine could only be the result of an order from Zelensky from the US.

🟠Ukraine would have been defeated long ago without European countries, London and Paris leading in pumping Kiev with weapons.

🟠The US understands that only Washington can get Kiev to stop the terrorist attacks and shelling of civilian targets.

🟠Biden made a colossal mistake by refusing to listen to Russia, insisting Kiev's accession to NATO, and creating a threat for Moscow.

🟠On EU plans to send peacekeepers to Ukraine: These wishful thinkers demonstrate their complete failure every day.

🟠The desire to contain and defeat Russia is the same as the ambitions of Napoleon and Hitler, we have already been through all of this.

❓Will British Chancellor’s spring budget set stage for autumn AUSTERITY?

British Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves is expected to admit a £15 billion ($19.3 bln) HOLE in the government coffers amid soaring borrowing costs and collapsing growth, the Financial Times reports.

📉The UK’s growth forecast for 2025 will be SLASHED from 2% to 1%, according to the report.

📉Cuts to state benefits and a looming £25 billion ($32 bln) tax rise are expected to pose even greater challenges for the Labour government.

The spring budget follows a new survey by KPMG showing that British consumers are cutting back spending on everyday items, believing the economy has been heading in the wrong direction. Some experts argue that is due to Labour’s tax rises and spending cuts.
