Russia NAMES Its 'ENEMY NO.1' And It Is Not Ukraine Or America | 'Yapping Bitch*s, Russophobic...'
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev declared the European Union a direct threat to Russia, accusing it of arming Ukraine and transforming into a militarized bloc rivaling NATO. In a strongly worded Telegram post, Medvedev claimed the EU had abandoned its economic roots and was now helping Kyiv wage war against Moscow. He alleged the EU was building weapons factories in Ukraine, training militants, and using profits from frozen Russian assets to fund aggression. Medvedev warned that Ukraine's EU membership now poses as much danger to Russia as NATO expansion once did. He proposed that Ukraine should either be rejected by the EU or cease to exist altogether.#medvedev #russia #ukraine #unitedstates #nato #europeanunion

Putin Slams West For Fueling Separatism, 'Betraying' Russia Over NATO And Ukraine
Last Updated: The Russian president alleged that Western powers have consistently failed to honour their promises regarding NATO's eastward expansion and efforts to resolve the Ukraine conflict Russian President Vladimir Putin accused Western nations of promoting separatism within Russia and using terrorism as a tool to undermine the country. Speaking at the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) summit in Minsk, Belarus, Putin criticised NATO for escalating its military spending, claiming the bloc is using Russia's so-called 'aggressiveness" as justification. 'No one has wished to pay attention to the Islamic State, as long as it operates against Russia. Explosions in Moscow, and all that. This is still happening today," Putin said. He added, 'No one wants to pay attention to this. Everything is fine, as long as it is against Russia." The Russian president alleged that Western powers have consistently failed to honour their promises regarding NATO's eastward expansion and efforts to resolve the Ukraine conflict. 'Western nations have repeatedly betrayed Russia by not fulfilling their promises related to NATO expansion and resolving the Ukraine conflict," he said, according to Russia's state broadcaster. He also argued that NATO's actions over the years—including expanding its footprint closer to Russian borders—ignited the Ukraine crisis. 'The roots of the conflict in Ukraine go back decades when Moscow was blatantly lied to about NATO expansion," Putin said, adding that Russia's security concerns were repeatedly dismissed. 'Isn't it aggressive behaviour? That is precisely aggressive behaviour, which the West does not want to pay attention to," he stated.

Russia amasses 1,10,000 troops around east Ukraine's ‘hottest spot' Pokrovsk– why is the site important? All we know
Russia-Ukraine war: With Russia and Ukraine still at loggerheads with each other, the former has now amassed 1,10,000 troops in the vicinity of Pokrovsk as part of its efforts to take over the strategic eastern Ukrainian city, the Ukrainian military chief said, as per reports. Moscow considers Pokrovsk a strategic target, as Russian President Vladimir Putin has made it clear that his goal is to seize all of the eastern Ukrainian regions of Donetsk and Luhansk his forces partially occupy, reported CNN. While speaking about the development, Ukraine military Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi further said that the area around Pokrovsk was the 'hottest spot' along the 1,200-kilometre (745 miles) front line which runs across the east of Ukraine. While Pokrovsk is not a key city, the 'strategic site' is located on a key supply road and railroad that connect it with other military hubs in the area. Along with Kostiantynivka, Kramatorsk and Sloviansk, Pokrovsk forms the backbone of Ukrainian defenses in the part of Donetsk region that is still under Kyiv's control. Additionally, Ukraine's last operating coking coal mine was in Pokrovsk wit a majority of its employees staying in the area to keep it going. After it was forced to shut down early this year, people began to leave. The Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a US-based conflict monitor, said late last year that Ukrainian defensive operations in Pokrovsk have forced Russia to abandon its original plan to take over Pokrovsk in a frontal assault. Some 60,000 lived in Pokrovsk before the war, but the majority have left in the three years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022, reported CNN. Russian drones struck the southern Ukrainian port city of Odesa overnight, killing two people and injuring at least 17, Ukrainian authorities said on Saturday. Meanwhile, three attack helicopters and an anti-aircraft missile system were destroyed in the Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula, reported news agencies. Ukraine's Security Service agency deployed special drones to attack the Kirovske military airfield, a Ukrainian security official said on Saturday.
