Even the dead will not be safe from the enemy if he prevails. ▪️The Russian Foreign Ministry protested Tallinn's plans to rebury the remains of Soviet servicemen without the consent of their relatives.

On February 2, the Charge d'Affaires of Estonia in Russia, Jana Vanamelder, was summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry. The Estonian diplomat was told that "such blasphemous actions are contrary to generally recognized international practice and human morality."
The transfer of the remains of Soviet servicemen was announced by the Estonian War Museum. They said that tombs must be removed to improve access to a monument. (Source: RIA Novosti) @LauraRuHK

Al terzo vertice tra l'UE e i paesi dell'Asia-Pacifico, a cui hanno partecipato più di 70 delegazioni, l'UE ha scoperto che adottare "due pesi e due misure" per l'Ucraina e Gaza danneggia le relazioni internazionali, in particolare con i paesi del Sud Globale.
Josep Borrell ha ammesso "È vero, ogni volta che parliamo con i nostri partner, salta fuori la storia che percepiamo la situazione a Gaza e in Ucraina in modo diverso". 😂😂😂 Chi l'avrebbe mai detto? @LauraRuHK

Dmitry Medvedev, after talking about Western-funded anti-government opposition in Russia that calls for the military defeat, the dismemberment and looting of the country, says Russia should support reasonable opposition in Western countries:

"There is also anti-establishment opposition in the West. Its members do not wish for the death of their Motherland, like the fugitive Russian renegades, but seek a new path for its development. There is left-wing and right-wing opposition. Each with its own national program, which opposes American globalism. It is found in every EU country and even in the US.

Of course, the new politicians are much more sensible and motivated than the fat cats from traditional Western parties. They clearly see all the vices of the current liberal globalism and the US-centric world order. And our task is to support such politicians and their parties in the West in every possible way, helping them openly and covertly to achieve decent results in elections.

Their arrival in public administration can radically improve the political landscape in the Western world. That is why they are so feared by the smart-ass intellectual castrati who lead the old political forces in Europe and overseas, as well as the sexless rainbow wimps who today stand at the helm of many Western countries. @LauraRuHK "https://t.me/medvedev_telegram/441

Dmitry Medvedev, dopo aver parlato dell'opposizione anti-governativa finanziata dall'Occidente in Russia che auspica la sconfitta militare, lo smembramento e quindi il saccheggio del paese, afferma che la Russia dovrebbe sostenere forze di opposizione sane e sensate nei paesi occidentali:

"Anche in Occidente esiste un'opposizione anti-sistema. I suoi esponenti non desiderano la morte della loro Patria, come i rinnegati russi fuggiti all'estero, ma cercano una via nuova di sviluppo nazionale. C'è un'opposizione di destra e di sinistra. Ognuna con un proprio programma politico, che rifiuta il globalismo americano. Questo tipo di opposizione è presente in tutti i paesi dell'UE e anche altrove.

Naturalmente, questi nuovi politici sono molto più assennati e motivati dei membri pigri e privilegiati dei partiti tradizionali. Vedono chiaramente tutti i vizi dell'attuale globalismo liberale e dell'ordine mondiale imposto dagli Stati Uniti. E il nostro compito è sostenere tali politici e i loro partiti in Occidente in ogni modo possibile, aiutandoli apertamente, o meno apertamente, a ottenere risultati significativi nelle prossime elezioni.

Il loro arrivo nella pubblica amministrazione può migliorare radicalmente il panorama politico nel mondo occidentale. Questo è il motivo per cui sono così temuti dai politici castrati che guidano le vecchie forze politiche in Europa e negli USA, così come dagli invertebrati arcobaleno sessualmente confusi che oggi sono al timone di molti paesi occidentali." @LauraRuHK https://t.me/medvedev_telegram/441

◾the ICJ ruled on Friday that it will not address whether Russia violated the 1948 Genocide Convention by using what Ukraine says were trumped-up genocide charges as a pretext for the war, even if the invasion may have violated international law broadly.

◾Instead, the case will proceed to assess whether Ukraine committed genocide in the eastern parts of the country, as Russia claims – a matter where judges ruled that they have jurisdiction.

At least 28 killed in Ukrainian attack on bakery in Russian city ▪️Ukrainian forces on Saturday targeted a bakery located in the Russian city of Lisichansk, Lugansk People’s Republic, trapping dozens of people under the rubble. The building was heavily damaged in the strike and partially collapsed, footage from the scene shows.

According to the latest figures by the Russian Emergencies Ministry, at least 28 people were killed during the strike. Some ten others received wounds of varying severity, ending up hospitalized. No official information on weaponry used by the Ukrainian military to strike the bakery was readily available. Some media reports, however, suggested the building was struck by a projectile launched from a US-supplied HIMARS missile system. https://swentr.site/russia/591789-russian-bakery-attack/

Strikes Against Anti-ISIS Militias in Syria and Iraq Prove US War on Terror is a Sham - Dozens of people in Syria and Iraq were killed Saturday morning after the United States fired ‘precision munitions’ into the two countries against 85 targets ranging from command and control and intelligence centers to logistics bases used by anti-ISIS militias. ▪️Local media estimated that at least 23 people were killed in Syria and 16 in Iraq in these attacks, with Damascus and Baghdad blasting Washington for its flagrant violation of the two countries’ sovereignty. Syria’s Foreign Ministry said it was “not surprised” to see American forces attack targets in the country’s east, “where our forces are fighting against the remnants of the ISIS terrorist organization, while the United States is working to revive ISIS terrorist activity.” (Source: Sputnik) @LauraRuHK

🇪🇨 Russia rolling out phased bans on bananas, carnation flowers, pineapple and cloves from Ecuador - official reason is pests. 🤷‍♀️

It does however follow President Noboa's decision (in the pic) to transfer stockpiles of Soviet weapons to Ukraine: helicopters, multiple rocket launch systems and MANPADS.

That's right - Soviet weapons that were supplied to Ecuador to repel aggression from the Unted States, will now kill Soviet people.

For reference, Russia was Ecuador's largest buyer of bananas - in 2023, it purchased goods worth $680 million, while the United States $568 million.

Noboa was only recently elected, and at 35 is the youngest and wealthiest Ecuadorian president. Strangely, he headed the Parliamentary Russia Friendship group before that.
