Even in the midst of negotiating an armistice with Kiev, Vladimir Putin persists in his strategy of “russification” of the occupied territories. With the announcement of the conquest of Pokrovsk, Putin, dressed in military uniform, has set out to transform the Ukrainians in Donbass into “true Russians” over the next ten years. The term appears in the new “National State Political Strategy”, writes Avvenire, a document signed by Putin, in which he entrusts the occupied administrations to loyalists, spies, and criminals, disguising them as promoters of a “homogeneous” identity and territorial integration. At the heart of the plan is the…
Never in the recent history of the United States has there been such a pronounced rupture between the position of a president and public opinion on a major foreign policy issue. Americans do not want military involvement in other conflicts, and Trump says the same. However, the differences arise where it matters most: in how each sees the end of the war in Ukraine and its long-term consequences, writes The Hill. For Trump, the war seems just another crisis in which he can play the role of the providential negotiator. A “humanitarian” halt to hostilities, regardless of the costs to…

Vladimir Putin’s two-day visit to India, his first in 2022 since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, will include significant discussions on military cooperation between the two countries. According to Bloomberg, the Russian Federation and India have concluded a multi-year negotiation process for the Indian army to lease a nuclear submarine. The event can be seen as a turning point for the government in New Delhi, which has been attempting to perform a tense balancing act between Russia and Western countries in the context of the invasion of Ukraine. In the past, the US threatened to impose sanctions after…

He added that there is…

Putin stated that his five-hour talks on Tuesday at the Kremlin with Witkoff and Kushner were “necessary” and “useful”, but also “hard work”, and some proposals were unacceptable. Putin…
