Wow thanks, good find, yeah one cannot trust anything from the Zelensky regime.
He even crackdown on pro-ukrainian media nowadays, even US-funded Voice of America made a report on it awhile back, then it must be really bad:Ukrainian news outlet says it faces ‘pressure’ from Zelenskyy’s office
Besides, all these polls are not taken in the very eastern part of Ukraine nor in Crimea, which Zelensky claim belong to Ukraine, so these polls are so totally biased and unrepresentful.

Believe me or not, I’m here right now without VPN. I’ve noticed this yesterday late in the night, and so it is so far. Still no access to Twitter or YouTube, but i can survive it 🙂 This site even allows to switch to simplified mobile version, so my fat fingers will hit wrong letters more seldom 🙂
Great news today is that Russian investors returned 570 of 600 billion ‘frozen’ funds, the money was sanctioned due to war. It’s reported that about 1.5 million people got their money back.
The second day USD/Russian Rouble exchange ratio slowes down. It hit 100 roubles per USD some time ago, and it was 90 yesterday, and about 87 today.

It looks like the amount of US spending on the war in Ukraine (Trump said about 500 billion) is significantly higher than Ze expected.
It was reported that Trump sent his finance minister to Kiev to sign the deal, but he was unable to meet with Ze because the latter was sleeping. Seriously. This was perceived as a mockery.Today it is reported that Zelensky may have Starlink disconnected if he doesn’t sign the agreement on rare minerals.
Now this whole story looks like a classic gangster scam, where the “good” guy persuades the village idiot to get involved in the “business”, and then the “bad” guy comes and writes out exorbitant bills for payment. Well, it would be no surprise if we frankly admit that Ukrainians elected a comedian without the necessary competencies as head of state. And he had to deal with Biden, who has been in big politics for several decades, and now with Trump, who probably made his first million of dollars when Zelensky was still wearing a diaper.
Yet one cannot underestimate the tenacity of Ukrainians in resisting anyone who wants to “take candy away from them”. From the very beginning, the Russians were skeptical about the ideas of the Americans to get something in exchange for supporting the Kiev regime. We have been living side by side with ukrainians for too long, we have formed a popular opinion that they take everything for granted and never give anything back.
Imo, the Americans may be able to squeeze out at least some “dividends” from their “investments”. The Europeans don’t have a single chance.

I really like Jefrrey Sachs, fearless, polite and realistic. Recently Sachs spoke in Brussels in front of EU bureaucrats and politicians (who let him in?)
Video “THE STUPIDEST IDEA OF NATO – Jeffrey Sachs in Brussels “
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mVhW-m0bwY
As he said, what would the US/EU say if Canada called on China to mobilize troops on the canadian/american border after US threats against Canada? Unheard of right? Still, that is exactly what the EU/Nato propose when it comes to every nation on the russian border.

Zelensky keep getting it wrong, today he claimed that he could potentially step down if Ukraine is admitted to Nato.
“If peace for Ukraine, if you really need me to leave my post, then I’m ready. I can exchange this for NATO, if there are such conditions. I am focusing on the security of Ukraine today, not in 20 years, and I do not intend to be in power for decades,” Zelensky asserted.
https://swentr.site/russia/613186-zelensky-resign-ukraine-nato/
How deluded is this man? That Nato-membership is off the table is obvious to everyone, still Zelensky still live in his own fantasy land where everything should evolve around himself!
Meanwhile Zelensky keep targeting oppostional figures:
“Zelensky targets political opposition
The Ukrainian leader has implemented asset freezes and media gags against his potential rivals ”Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky has imposed personal sanctions on five prominent individuals, including potential political rivals former President Pyotr Poroshenko and exiled opposition leader Viktor Medvedchuk.
On Wednesday evening, Zelensky put into power an order penned by the National Security and Defense Council, which he chairs. In addition to the two politicians, the order targets three wealthy entrepreneurs, including Poroshenko’s business partner Gennady Bogolyubov, former Dnepropetrovsk Region Governor Igor Kolomoysky, and former MP Konstantin Zhevago.https://swentr.site/russia/612658-zelensky-personal-sanctions-rivals/
He is getting less and less popular even amongst his once close friends:
Ex-Zelensky aide threatens to jail him for life
Aleksey Arestovich, should he become Ukraine’s president, has claimed he will jail his former boss, Vladimir Zelensky, and his “gang”The ex-aide accused his former boss of killing off Ukrainians “by the tens of thousands” just for the sake of keeping his “beloved” power, which he has been ultimately using to “kill and rob.” Arestovich also pledged to reshape the Ukrainian governing model and make the state “face the people,” adding he will use force if necessary to reach the goal.

Another good statement/speech by Jeffrey Sachs, calling on the baltics to stop their irrational russophobia
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EILzCgToOhoThese nations – the baltics – become very aggressive after they were admitted into Nato, believing they could say, do whatever they want. To me, they look like a chi-hua hua barking against a bear. I mean it is just insane.
Look at the smirking Kaja Kallas, estonian and now EU high rep in foreign policies throwing out that breaking up of Russia not a bad thing:
https://x.com/RnaudBertrand/status/1793136193858838602Where does this cockiness and hubris come from? Worse yet, they do not realize how hate-ridden their worldview is, if Hitler could come back to life, he would agree with Kallas 100%.

Brave admission by the americans:
Ukraine conflict was ‘provoked’ – Trump adviser
The US promise of NATO membership for Kiev triggered the hostilities, Steve Witkoff has saidhttps://swentr.site/news/613244-ukraine-conflict-provoked-trump-adviser/
But… I wish the focus would rather be on the ethnic conflict that brought forward the hostilities against not only Russia but anything russian, the focus should be more on how the west openly and flagrantly funded and supported the coup/Maidan. The focus should be that majority of crimeans, in every poll there is, show large support for joining Russia because of that coup.
Western people have no idea that this conflict is actually far more simple than they are presented in the media. It is the extreme far-right nationalism that caused Russia to intervene, the problem lies with Ukraine. There was no conflict before 2013, how come one could ask rhetorically. What caused the peaceful relations between Russia/Ukraine to ignite? We all know, it was the radical coup/Maidan.
But the truth about Ukraine is constantly concealed and buried. But if people only knew…Jack
Complete psychotic nutcases obviously rule Ukraine:
Kiev’s Center for Countering Disinformation described the viral pop song ‘Sigma Boy’ as a weapon in the “information war,” claiming it enhances Russia’s global image. Sung by 11-year-old Betsy (Svetlana Chertishcheva) and 12-year-old Maria Yankovskaya, the song praises the titular ‘sigma boy’ as a dance partner that every girl would like for herself.
https://swentr.site/russia/613283-sbu-shaman-indictment-glorification/
So a song sung by two russian 10 year olds are considered a threat now?! The lyrics are about the love for a boy for crying out loud.
And today Ukraine targeted another russian artist:
The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has announced the indictment of pop singer Shaman, real name Yaroslav Dronov, for “glorifying” his country’s army. Kiev has previously categorized Russian entertainers, including children, as tools in information warfare.
The SBU’s statement on Tuesday claims that Shaman is part of a “Kremlin-controlled group of performers” furthering government actions in the conflict with Ukraine. A linguistic analysis of Dronov’s comments allegedly supports the agency’s accusation that he is engaging in “information sabotage.”
Oh some high-tech Linguistic analysis? Hilariously stupid people.

There are some glitch going regarding the communication between US/Russia unfortunately, one could only hope that the talks are swiftly resumed asap:
Examples:
Kremlin contradicts Trump on ‘NATO troops in Ukraine’
The US president had claimed that Russia would accept the presence of troops from members of the military bloc in the countryhttps://swentr.site/russia/613300-kremlin-trump-nato-troops-ukraine/
Russia doesn’t understand Trump’s Ukraine ‘peace plan’ – deputy FM
https://swentr.site/russia/613238-russia-us-peace-plan/
Moscow comments on White House peace talks claim
The Kremlin has no information suggesting a deal could be reached within days, according to spokesman Dmitry Peskovhttps://swentr.site/news/613248-us-russia-ukraine-peace-talks/

Does Trump Really Have A Plan For Ukraine?
A piece from MoA suggesting Trump’s plans don’t really add up. It seems the russians were aghast at how unprepared the US team were in Riyadh. It’s hard to come to any conclusions yet.Jack
ET
Yes I have a bad feeling too, while I believe Trump is sincere in his peace-quest he is also a loose cannon, like today he will meet Zelensky at the White House and one could imagine there will be praise, joy, bonding, photo-op and developed relations.

The question no one dares ask: what if Britain has to defend itself from the US?
Monbiot asks the above in a guardian piece today.Whilst the basis of his argument is mostly a list of anti-russian tropes I can’t imagine such a piece being published in any UK CRAP media a short while ago.
He foresees US collusion with Russia to undermine Europe and UK.

The hatred towards Russia and the level of insanity and fanaticism in Germany are reaching ever new levels:
In Hamburg on Febr. 24th:
“Buses, subways and barges in the harbor stopped on Monday at exactly twelve o’clock. The whole of Hamburg stood still for a minute – an action that was intended to remind citizens to stand together under the motto “All together against Russia” and which took place in the Hanseatic city for the third time. It was accompanied by the playing of the Ukrainian national anthem on local radio stations.”
This does without any caveat start to resemble 1930s mindset. We are not there yet – but WWII needed 10 years preparation as well – we would have a repetition of history were it not for the simple fact of nukes.
Instead of improving the situation is getting worse…

Terrible. What is disturbing is that there are so few people standing up to this dangerous development and obvious brainwashing. Absolute no negative impact would occur for the average european citizen if the border of Ukraine is slightly changed, still, Ukraine is framed as the most important issue there is by the EU political/media elite! Ukraine is not even member of EU nor Nato so there are no obvious connections between western europe and Ukraine to begin with.
On Germany, I read this the other day.
Pro-Kiev neo-Nazis to join anti-Kremlin rally in Berlin
The threat of violence by the group’s leader has heightened safety concerns ahead of Saturday’s marchhttps://swentr.site/russia/613388-ukraine-militant-threat-berlin-march/
Interesting that the leader of the group – Denis Kapustin – was granted residence permit in Germany based on the claim/lie that he was a jew:
In 2001, when he was 17, Kapustin’s family moved to Cologne, Germany.[5] According to Der Spiegel, the Kapustin family received a permanent residence permit as Russian Jews. However, asked about her ethnic background and her alleged Jewish origins by the Spiegel journalists, Kapustin’s mother simply described herself as “a Russian woman”.[5][2]

One could also question if the constant distraction and focusing on Ukraine is rather a diversion tactic used by the western politicians to make their population more occupied with foreign topics than the domestic political problems at home, caused by the very same western politicians.
A diversionary foreign policy, or a diversionary war, is an international relations term that identifies a war instigated by a country’s leader in order to distract its population from its own domestic strife
Jack
How come the rabid western warmongers do not accuse Trump and Zelensky for selling out Ukraine by signing the “mineral deal”? Is not that “appeasement” by Zelensky, “selling out” his nation to “Putin-controlled” Trump? How come that term (appeasement) is only used when it comes to Trump’s dealings with Putin? The warmongers obviously lack principles with their wordplay…
Jack
Jesus christ, I just watched the Zelensky/Trump/Vance meeting, obviously Zelensky do not know when to shut up, why on earth did he talk back like that? He is not in a position to do that, certainly not in that position.
Video:
Watch tense Oval Office argument between Zelensky, Trump and Vance
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2s2pogllis
This will certainly not garner any more support amongst americans and ukrainians will probably watch this as Zelensky taking it too far. At one point Trump said something along that he try to stop a risk of World war 3 and Zelensky just sit there smirking.
He is done, too mentional, and must go by now. Ukraine deserve better leadership than this now.Jack
Sigh, more of the same
EU’s Kallas blasts Trump over ‘Russian talking points’
In an interview with the media outlet Axios on Thursday, she said it had been “uncomfortable” to hear Trump and other senior US officials “repeating Russian narratives and talking points” in recent weeks.
https://swentr.site/news/613455-eu-top-diplomat-kallas-us-trump-russian-narratives/
It must be so easy to live in the world for these people, everything that they do not like are russian “narratives”, “bots” etc.
How could these people claim to be diplomats, let alone adults with such primitive emotional, pathetic way of thinking?
If something is right, correct why does it matter who says it? Is the grass not green just because Russia says so?Jack

Would you be able to translate what Zelensky’s aide, Podolyak, really said in the video below? Did he really say:
Podolyak: A war between the USA and Russia would be beneficial for Ukraine

Ok try this, I uploaded the video at another site:

This one works, here’s what he says:
– There are a completely different ways to pressure Putin. It’s not necessary to bring it to a direct military clash between Americans and Russia. I mean, of course this would be the best thing for us, because it would be another war (*not sure about the word “foreign” or “of another level”, in any case “another war”)
– But we understand that this is… well … (* without context you can only hear the last 2 syllables sounding as ‘na to’, whicg may mean NATO, or be a part of the phrase beginning with ‘for this…’)Jack
Thank you very much, it really prove that there is no limit for the ukrainians, they might as well trigger WW3 and they would be happy with it, that is why Zelensky just looked so arrogant and could-not-care-less when Trump, straight to his face, warned that this might be the outcome if there is not a solution.
I really hope american intelligence service keep an eye on the ukrainians, keeping them from not plotting any false-flag or even assassination attempt against Trump.

I’m not so much afraid of attempts to kill Trump (after all, there is Vance and the entire administration), as I’m afraid of the constant attempts of the Ukrainians to attack nuclear facilities.
On our side, people have already said that Ukraine can easily make a so-called “dirty bomb”, that is, place radioactive materials as a filling in a conventional weapon.
There’s no shortage of radioactive materials in Ukraine, nuclear power plants are operating there, and there is a mothballed part of Chernobyl with a high radiation background, which can “hide” any signs of nuclear weapons development from monitoring agencies.
And, Ukraine has repeatedly said that it wants to have nuclear weapons!
Considering how little responsibility and maturity their leadership demonstrates, I find this reckless. They have been spoiled with unconditional support for so long that they simply do not have any built-in brakes.AG
Podolyak and every single one of these assholes are not just insane, they are also incredibly dumb and insultingly so and delusional. I cannot stress it enough: this Ukrainian “administration” and their mafia-representatives abroad are so delusional and stupid I lack the appropriate vocabulary. What they have been pulling off in Germany e.g. is just inconceivable. Offending Germans who did not agree with them on a regular basis (or e.g. calling the German educational system inadequate for their oh-so- genius children who have fled to Germany). I would have immediately kicked those idiots out of the country and put them into the frontline. And together with them the entire German Bundestag and their staff armed with their malfunctioning German machine guns and Green helmets and “queer-coloured” vests.
I hadn´t heard the Z.-Trump-Vance encounter until today. I knew Z is a moron. But THIS is just embarrassing. If you play the game you should know the rules. And Trump was correct with every single statement just like Vance. And I dislike both. But they are miles better than what the US had before. What a sad assessment to make…
I don´t think the Ukrainians will be able to pull off anything dirty.
Larry Johnson suggested – I am not sure about it – that CIA could well be ordered now to pull out their assets from Ukraine. If that happens Boudanov and his merry men of sickos are sitting ducks. Take away US reconnaissance and SBU is busted. And I dare say – if Ukies don´t stop this shit – Trump won´t lift a finger if Russians in response “oreshnik” SBU and other institutions. RUs already targeted SBU HQ in Crimea but that was just a “normal” attack. The current official number of dead AFU-soldiers is closing in on 1.09M. And Z. walks around like he were on sound stage somewhere in the Hollywood Hills shooting a neo-Western. Obviously he has totally lost the last ounces of decency.
Forgive my emotion but I might be visiting a public venue tonight not far away from some government institutions and I fear I will run into several Ukraine-propagandists. So I am trying to calm myself down now.
And thanks for all the above info. -
