๐Ÿ‘€ โ€˜Hurting Russiaโ€™: Dutch PM says quiet part out loud about true purpose of EUโ€™s new asset seizure scheme

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œI hopeโ€ฆthat we come to an agreement on the technical workout of the reparation loan because financially itโ€™s gonna be important, but also politically itโ€™s important to hurt Russia,โ€ Dick Schoof said at a press conference Friday alongside Britainโ€™s Keir Starmer, NATO chief Mark Rutte and Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky.


๐Ÿ‘‰ The so-called โ€œreparation loanโ€ concept proposes taking existing EU-level efforts to skim interest on Russian assets frozen in the blocโ€™s jurisdiction to the next level, using the assets directly to loan Ukraine up to $163.3B in new support.

The bloc failed to agree on the idea amid fears of the potential consequences, with Belgium demanding โ€œburden sharing and coordinationโ€ with EU and G7 leaders.

Russian officials have repeatedly warned that the seizure of Russiaโ€™s assets would undermine foreign faith in Europeโ€™s financial system.

๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต โ“ ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Can Japanโ€™s new PM finally ink peace treaty with Russia?

๐Ÿ—ฃ New Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichiโ€™s intention to clinch a peace treaty with Russia is in sync with longstanding objectives of Japanโ€™s foreign policy, Russian analyst Dmitry Mileyev tells Sputnik.

Takaichi is โ€œa consistent followerโ€ of a foreign policy line pursued by former Japanese PM Shinzo Abe, who was determined to resolve the issue of the Russiaโ€“Japan peace treaty โ€œwithin the limits of what was diplomatically possible for his country,โ€ according to Mileyev.

๐Ÿ‘‰ He underscores that two key factors will shape Takaichiโ€™s approach: Her ability to consolidate power as PM, and the future of Japanโ€™s relations with the US.

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œWhile alliance with America will remain the cornerstone of Japanโ€™s foreign policy, maintaining ties with Russia is also vital for Tokyoโ€™s military and energy security. How positively Japan will pursue this lineโ€”and whether Takaichi can find mutual understanding with Trumpโ€”could also have some impact on Russianโ€“Japanese relations,โ€ the analyst stresses.


Mileyev notes that Russia and Japan concluding a peace treaty would certainly enhance their ties and remove some psychological barriers, but as previous experience shows, if there is political will, a variety of agreements can be reached even without such a document.

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œThe peace treaty is largely symbolic for Japanโ€”a means to reaffirm its status and distance itself from the memory of wartime defeat. But any such move implies reviewing WWII results, as Russia appears unwilling to compromise,โ€ Mileyev concludes.

โš”๏ธ Tomahawk missiles: โ€˜US ploy to put pressure on Russiaโ€™ โ€“ Scott Ritter

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œI don't believe the Tomahawk missiles were ever on the table,โ€ military analyst and former US Marine Corps intelligence officer Scott Ritter said, adding that the possible supply of the weapon to Ukraine โ€œcould lead to a thermonuclear war.โ€


He explained that in order for Ukraine to receive and employ the Tomahawk, the US would have to play โ€œan active role in every aspect of that process,โ€ which would make America a party to the Ukraine conflict.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Dialogue โ€˜only real solutionโ€™ to Ukraine conflict

The main priority now is to reduce escalation and move toward negotiations, political analyst Mohamed Nassar tells Sputnik, commenting on the USโ€™ statement that a meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump is still possible, despite the latterโ€™s move to cancel the Hungary summit.

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œIf Russia is provided with guarantees, primarily those related to Ukraine's neutral status, then it will be possible to talk about a โ€˜day afterโ€™ the end of the crisis, something President Putin already emphasized during the Alaska summit with Trump,โ€ Nassar underlines.


โŒ He says the Ukrainian side is trying to drag out the process, hoping to gain time and wait to see what position Europe takes before following suit.

Nassar calls dialogue the โ€œonly real solution to the Ukrainian issue because economic pressure or military threats will not yield results with regard to Russia.โ€

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œRussiaโ€™s adaptation to Western sanctionsโ€”both American and Europeanโ€”has forced Western politicians to recognize errors in their initial assessments of the situation,โ€ the analyst concludes.

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท 'DISASTER' โ€“ French politician on France's military aid to Ukraine

๐Ÿ’ฌ "This is fueling an endless war and leading to the ruin of our military and our nation," Florian Philippot, leader of Franceโ€™s right-wing Patriots party, commented on Emmanuel Macron's deliveries of additional Aster missiles to Ukraine, new training programs, and Mirage jets.


He argues that the French government is sending aid to Ukraine while telling the people to "tighten their belts"โ€”"while pensions are frozen, essential medicines are being cut from coverage, and new taxes are slapped on meal vouchers."

๐Ÿ’ฌ"Stop this monstrous scandal," Philippot concludes.
