📷PUTIN, MODI AND XI: A PHOTO WITH A MESSAGE

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov explained the significance of the joint photo of Putin, Modi and Xi Jinping at the SCO summit.

👉He said the picture symbolizes that Russia, India and China — three great powers and great civilizations — recognize their shared interests across many areas.

"This does not mean that everything coincides 100%, but there is a clear trend for China, Russia, and India to develop their partnership, deriving mutual benefit from those areas where our interests align," Lavrov said.

📉 US Army veteran: Europe's Ukraine narrative FALLING APART

🔊Retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis slammed European leaders’ double-speak on the Ukraine war.

"They claim on the one hand Russia is a powerful menace that threatens to directly attack even Great Britain and France – but then simultaneously so weak they’ve only taken one percent of Ukraine in the past two years," he wrote on social media, calling it “growing cognitive dissonance.”

👉 Davis warned that “immoral and strategically foolish actions” were destroying Ukraine itself, with men being “thrown into an unwinnable war that sucks the life out of hundreds of thousands.”

🗣German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has claimed his country is already “in conflict” with Russia — rhetoric Moscow dismisses as alarmist.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stressed Russia has no reason to attack NATO, branding the so-called “Russian threat” a political fiction.

🇪🇺🔊Borrell: Europe risks dismal fate as US vassal

After Europe handed nonreciprocal concessions to Donald Trump on defense and trade, and accepted a secondary role in settlement of the Ukraine crisis, the EU now looks “dangerously fragmented and weak, stuck in a hostile internal and external environment,” claims former EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell.

🔍With just 5% of the world’s population and a widening economic gap with other powers, Europe is “at real risk of becoming America’s vassal,” he warns.

The EU’s global role has become largely irrelevant, undermined by a lack of credibility and unity, Borrell admits.
According to him, an alliance of Trump sympathizers and Atlanticists rules the European Council and Commission.

✍️Their strategy is to “flatter and appease the US president in the hopes of damage control”—promoting increased political, strategic, and economic dependence on the US, and failing spectacularly.

Borrell’s warning is rich, coming from the architect of many of these narrow-minded policy choices.

🔍Nord Stream sabotage linked to Ukraine’s ex-Commander-in Chief Zaluzhny – report

The crew of the yacht Andromeda, allegedly involved in the 2022 blasts on Nord Stream 1 and 2, acted on the orders of former Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Valery Zaluzhny, the German newspaper Welt reports.

🇩🇪German federal police are convinced they have solved the case, the report added, citing an unnamed investigator.

The explosions on the Nord Stream pipelines occurred on September 26, 2022. Germany, Denmark, and Sweden suspected sabotage. Russia opened an international terrorism case, but has repeatedly noted that it has not received investigation data.

🇷🇺Russian Security Council official Nikolai Patrushev recently dismissed claims that Ukrainian “amateurs” blew up the Nord Stream gas pipelines, arguing the operation bore the hallmarks of NATO intelligence agencies.

The public has only learned details through “ridiculous leaks” in the media, fueling doubts about the official version of events.
