The fleet of black limousines carrying Xi Jinping and the Chinese delegation through the streets of Moscow included an ultra-rare model – the Hongqi N701, a Chinese-made luxury car produced for high-ranking officials.

Footage obtained by Sputnik shows two Hongqi N701s hidden away in a fleet of escort cars, including Russian-made Aurus Arsenal vans, BMW, Mercedes and Volkswagen sedans and SUVs.

The N701s were first spotted in Moscow two days before Xi’s visit, traveling along Leninsky Prospect – one of the wide prospects in the center of the Russian capital.

Although the N701 made its debut in China in July 2022 during President Xi’s visit to Hong Kong, very little information about it has been publicized. Hongqi bought the Mercedes Benz plant near Moscow and will soon start production of cars for the Russian market, as i explained here. https://t.me/LauraRuHK/3735

"The entire army that NATO trained between 2014 and 2022 in preparation for a Russian attack is dead, and recruits are being thrown into battle lines with three weeks of training." But at Chatham House the sentiment of participants leaned towards escalation in the form of providing additional weapons to Ukraine. One prominent analyst proposed the formation of a “foreign legion” of fighters from other countries to supplement Ukraine’s shrinking pool of trained manpower.

The great majority of participants favored risking everything, including nuclear war, for absolute victory over Russia. These psychos must be stopped. https://asiatimes.com/2023/03/why-ukraine-may-embrace-chinas-peace-plan/

🇬🇧🇺🇦The UK will send “armour piercing rounds which contain depleted uranium” to Ukraine, for use with the tank squadron donated by the British army.

Defence minister Baroness Goldie made the admission yesterday in response to a written parliamentary question from crossbench peer Lord Hylton.

Goldie said: “Such rounds are highly effective in defeating modern tanks and armoured vehicles.”

Russia has previously warned it would regard the use of depleted uranium in Ukraine as a ‘dirty bomb’.

You really wanna go there Britain?

⚡️ Russia is ready to switch to yuan in trade with other countries.

"We are for the use of Chinese yuan in settlements between Russia and countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. I am sure these forms of settlement in yuan will develop between Russian partners and their counterparts in third countries." @LauraRuHK

PIOMBINO - Attracca il rigasificatore gigante arrivato da Singapore - 292,5 metri di lunghezza, 43,4 di larghezza e 55 di altezza

Curiosa la colorazione: bianca, blu e rossa come la bandiera russa 🇷🇺

Detto questo, rinunciamo al gas russo che è sicuro e costa niente per comprare il gas USA a cinque volte il prezzo di quello russo e doverlo anche rigasificare con questa nave che, se succede un incidente, spazza via l'intera città Piombino e metà Toscana in 30 secondi netti.

Complimenti al Governo servo e venduto di Lady Aspen.
