🇵🇱 # Poland The leader in the imposed anti-Russian sanctions left about a dozen cities without gas supply.
📍Outages of gas supply concern a dozen or so cities in Poland. The gas infrastructure there is managed by companies with Russian capital that now cannot work.
📍Sanctions and gas shutdown were so sudden that the population was left without heat, hot water and possibility to cook.

The West has openly chosen the strategy of conducting proxy wars against Russia and this policy is fraught with very serious consequences, Director of the Foreign Ministry’s Department Vladimir Yermakov said
MOSCOW, April 30. /TASS/. Russia calls on other states to abide by the logic sealed in documents for preventing a nuclear war and strictly follows the principle that such a conflict is inadmissible, Director of the Foreign Ministry’s Department for Non-Proliferation and Arms Control Vladimir Yermakov told TASS on Saturday.
❗"All states should consistently abide by the logic laid out in joint documents of the Nuclear Quintet with our most active participation, including the January statement by the leaders of the five states on preventing a nuclear war," the high-ranking Russian diplomat said.
"Speaking about dangers emerging in current conditions, I would like to note that it would be useful for US-led Western countries gripped by unprecedented Russophobia to remain clearly aware that the irresponsible escalation of their anti-Russian actions is totally unacceptable," he said, responding to a question about the existing dangers of the use of nuclear weapons in the world."
"At present, the Western nuclear troika made up of the United States, France and Great Britain is increasingly departing from the principles of the inadmissibility of a conflict between nuclear countries "alongside the whole of NATO, which is positioning itself as a nuclear alliance," the senior Russian diplomat said.
❗"The United Sates does not conceal its intention to complete as soon as possible a whole number of other projects for creating land-based intermediate-and shorter-range missiles for their subsequent deployment in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. The deployment of these armaments in the above-mentioned regions will further escalate the situation and whip up an arms race," the high-ranking Russian diplomat said."

US pressure and extortion to break Latin America's ties with Russia and China
by Jorge Elbaum
"My only doubt is to know if the United States will end the world, or if the world is going to end the United States" - the novelist Henry Miller
In the last two weeks, the US State Department has deployed an ambitious extortive persuasion program on countries located in the so-called “Western Hemisphere”, with the aim of limiting their trade and cooperation ties with Moscow and Beijing.
The proximity models deployed in Latin America and the Caribbean offer a wide menu of alternatives that range from threats and sanctions to the offer of better conditions for exports, guarantees for the continuity of remittances or for the extended authorization of visas.
The model promoted by the Biden administration is that of a permanent fragmentation of the world economy, with two alternative circuits of trade and international cooperation based on geopolitical blocs. To achieve this goal, it must strive to sever solid ties and prevent – simultaneously – Eurasia from failing to escape imposed apartheid .

Russian operation in Ukraine contributes to freeing world from Western oppression - Lavrov
MOSCOW, April 30. /TASS/. Russia's special military operation in Ukraine is contributing to liberating the world from Western neocolonial oppression, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with the Xinhua news agency.
"It is obvious that the collective West’ attempts to hinder the natural course of history, to solve its problems at the expense of others are doomed," the minister said, "Today's world has several centers of decision-making, it is multipolar. We see how dynamically Asian, African and Latin American countries develop. Everyone has a real freedom of choice, including ways of development and participation in integration projects. Our special military operation in Ukraine also contributes to the process of freeing the world from the West’s neocolonial oppression, which is densely mixed with racism and an exceptionality complex."
As Lavrov noted, today we are talking not about a new Cold War, but about "the persistent desire of Washington and its satellites, who think of themselves as 'masters of human destiny,' to impose an American-centric model of the world order." "It has gotten to the point where a Western minority is trying to replace the UN-centric architecture and international law formed as a result of World War II with its own ‘rules-based’ order. Washington and its allies write these very rules themselves and then impose them on the international community as obligatory for implementation", the Russian foreign minister continued.
Destructive US policy
Lavrov stressed that the US has been pursuing a destructive course for decades. The minister, in particular, cited the NATO aggression against Yugoslavia, the attacks on Iraq, Libya, its attempt to destroy Syria, as well as "color revolutions" in a number of countries, including Ukraine. "All this has cost hundreds of thousands of lives and led to chaos in various regions of the planet," he added.
The Russian foreign minister noted that the Westerners are trying "with the most brutal methods" to suppress countries that seek to conduct an independent foreign and domestic policy, and it is not only about Russia.
"We can see how ‘bloc thinking’ is being imposed in the Asia-Pacific region. Look at the so-called Indo-Pacific strategy promoted by the US, which has a clear anti-Chinese orientation," Lavrov pointed out, "In the spirit of the archaic Monroe Doctrine, the US seeks to dictate how and by what standards to live in Latin America. This explains the long-standing illegal trade embargo against Cuba, sanctions against Venezuela, and attempts to ‘sway’ stability in Nicaragua and some other countries. The continuing pressure on Belarus is also along these lines. This list could be continued."
According to the Russian minister, the sooner the West comes to terms with the new geopolitical realities, "the better it will be for itself and for the whole international community." "As Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized at the Boao Forum, 'We [have to] <…> uphold the principle of indivisible security, build a balanced, effective and sustainable security architecture, and oppose the pursuit of one's own security at the cost of others' security,'" Lavrov concluded.

US ‘war crimes’ probe against Russia a farce
"Since the Ukraine crisis, the US has been sending arms aid to Ukraine with unprecedented scale and speed to prolong the conflict. Meanwhile, Washington has also been keeping its propaganda machine running in full swing."
"When the Biden administration said it wanted the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate and conduct war crimes trials against Russia, it equals a criminal holding a gun toward the head of the judge and telling the judge to indict others, said Shen Yi, a professor at the School of International Relations and Public Affairs of Fudan University, "Isn't it a farce?"
"The US double standards are fully exposed. It smears others, but turns a blind eye to its own war crimes and try to evade responsibility. Just look at the figures: In the Afghan War alone, more than 71,000 Afghan and Pakistani civilians were estimated to have died as a direct result of the war, according to the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs in Brown University."

The US is the country that most deserves the investigation and prosecution by the ICC for its war atrocities. The US is a hegemon addicted to war and the biggest source of risk of global peace and stability.

🇪🇺🇬🇷The Greek Prime Minister said that the EU economy will not be able to find a replacement for Russian gas.
Europe should be careful about sanctions against Russia, so as not to cause itself even more harm, said Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
By the way, Russian gas accounts for more than half of the total consumption of "blue fuel" in Greece.
Not so long ago, Athens also refused to supply weapons to Kiev, explaining this as "a negative impact on the country's defense capability."

⚡Kiev continues to prepare monstrous and ruthless provocations with massacres of civilians to further incriminate the Russian Armed Forces. To this end, AFU units have deployed artillery mounts near Tsupovka, Kharkov Region, to deliver a fire strike during the mass evacuation of civilians through a humanitarian corridor from Kharkov to the west, which was organized by the Ukrainian side. The Russian side has reliably established that the neo-Nazis are planning to carry out this monstrous bloody action in the near future.

Mines planted at Nikolayev reservoir dam by nationalists - Russian Defence Ministry
According to the colonel-general Mikhail Mizintsev, once the dam is blown up, the town and surrounding populated localities, with a population of over 45,000 people, will be flooded
"In the town of Marganets in Dnepropetrovsk Region, militants of Ukrainian armed formations have planted mines at the dam of the Nikolayev reservoir, which the nationalists intend to blow up, pinning the alleged blame on advancing Russian troops," said Mizintsev, who heads the Russian Joint Coordination Headquarters for Humanitarian Response in Ukraine.
According to the colonel-general, once the dam is blown up, the town and surrounding populated localities, with a population of over 45,000 people, will be flooded.
"After the water recedes, critical systems (sewage, water supply, water treatment facilities with chemical tanks) will be damaged in the flooded area, which will lead to a sharp deterioration of the sanitary-epidemiological situation and the spread of infectious diseases in Nikopol area," he added.
Mizintsev stressed that the situation was aggravated by inaccessibility of medical assistance and lack of medicines.
