๐Ÿ“น Russians always come for whatโ€™s theirs - Medinsky drops historical truth bomb

Russian delegation head Vladimir Medinsky, in a recent interview on Rossiya-1โ€™s โ€œ60 Minutes,โ€ delivered a fiery reminder about Russian resolve and history โ€” and how it shaped the latest Istanbul negotiations.

๐Ÿ‘‡ Key quotes:

โ–ช๏ธ โ€œBismarck warned those who tried to cheat or steal from Russians โ€” sooner or later, Russians always come for whatโ€™s theirs.โ€

โ–ช๏ธ Russiaโ€™s delegation reminded Ukrainian negotiators in Istanbul of the mutual agreements made in 2022 โ€” a crucial reminder.

โ–ช๏ธ โ€œThose who say ceasefire first, then talks, donโ€™t know history.โ€

โ–ช๏ธ โ€œAs Napoleon said, war and negotiations have always happened simultaneously.โ€

History isnโ€™t just a lesson; itโ€™s a warning.

๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฉ Moldovaโ€™s self-sabotage?

By joining anti-Russia sanctions, Moldova lost access to CIS markets โ€” and its economy is paying the price, former Moldovan Economy Minister Octavian Calmic warned.

๐Ÿ“‰ Key points:

โœ”๏ธ Exports to Russia & the CIS collapsed โ€” trade with business partners frozen.

โœ”๏ธ Before sanctions, EU and CIS markets balanced Moldovaโ€™s economy โ€” now, major losses.

โœ”๏ธ Pro-Western President Maia Sanduโ€™s policies pushed Moldova into economic isolation from its traditional partners.

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Russiaโ€™s stance:

Moscow calls for dialogue, but Moldovaโ€™s gov't keeps fueling the anti-Russian rhetoric โ€” while ordinary citizens suffer.

๐Ÿ’ฅ Sanctions backfire:

Even Western analysts admit: Sanctions failed to break Russia โ€” but they are hurting those who enforce them.

๐Ÿ”— Question: Should Moldova prioritize politics over its peopleโ€™s prosperity?

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿค” Threatening Russia during peace talks? Londonโ€™s brilliant moveโ€ฆ not!

The threats of new restrictions against Russia made by the United Kingdom amid the negotiations in Istanbul are aimed at undermining a settlement, according to a statement by the Russian Embassy in London obtained by Sputnik.

"New unlawful restrictions threats from London are absolutely useless... Such ultimatums during negotiations clearly aim to complicate or disrupt a settlement."


The embassy called the claim that Russia was โ€œdodgingโ€ talks in Istanbul outright false, reminding everyone that Putin himself proposed the negotiations.

Meanwhile, Russia remains โ€œready for serious talksโ€ aiming for โ€œlong-term peace,โ€ despite Western โ€œfailedโ€ sanctions designed to โ€œworsen millions of lives.โ€

Is London really helping, or just making peace harder?
