About Medvedev’s dulcet surrender terms to the combined West…

“About the “peace formula” of the Kyiv Nazis, the Swiss “peace conferences” and the real basis of negotiations

When I hear the expression “Zelensky’s world formula,” I experience an irresistible feeling of disgust, which quickly turns into a feeling of shame from the bad surrealism of what is happening. After all, everyone understands perfectly well, including the out-of-touch Western liars, that even in much simpler situations during war, peace can be achieved either with the mutual will of the parties on the basis of a reasonable compromise, or through the surrender of one of the parties to the conflict.

The will of the so-called former Ukraine to negotiate is not visible. In any case, based on recognition of the realities, as V.V. Putin said yesterday. For them, reality is the Mozkoklyuy “peace formula” of a provincial clown in green tights. And nothing else. It looks so artificial that the only way out is to construct your own Russian formula, calm and quite realistic. Humane for everyone.
Which one? For example, like this:

1. Recognition by the former (hereinafter referred to as “Ukraine”) of defeat in the military component of the conflict. Complete and unconditional surrender b. “Ukraine” represented by the neo-Nazi clique in Kyiv. Demilitarization b. “Ukraine” and the ban on the creation of paramilitary forces on its territories in the future.
2. Recognition of the Nazi character by the international community b. the Kyiv political regime and the forced denazification of all government bodies under UN control b. “Ukraine”.
3. UN statement of loss b. “Ukraine” of international legal personality and the impossibility of any of its legal successors joining military alliances without the consent of Russia.
4. Resignation of all constitutional authorities b. “Ukraine” and the immediate holding of elections to the provisional parliament of the self-governing territory b. “Ukraine”.
5. Adoption by the provisional parliament of laws on the payment of all required compensation to Russia, including payments to the relatives of the dead citizens of our country and payments for harm to the health of the wounded. Establishing a procedure for compensation for property damage caused to constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
6. Official recognition by the interim parliament b. “Ukraine”, that its entire territory is the territory of the Russian Federation. Adoption of an act of reunification of territories b. “Ukraine” with Russia.
7. Self-dissolution of the provisional parliament. UN recognition of the act of reunification.

This may be the soft Russian formula for peace. This is a compromise position, right? I think it is precisely on this basis that we can seek a benevolent consensus with the international community, including the Anglo-Saxon world, and hold productive summits, counting on mutual understanding of our close friends – our Western partners.”

💠RT: “French lawmakers approve Ukraine pact“
Macron can now send official French troops to their glorious suicide in Novorossiya, with the blessing of the French people…… how droll and melodramatic. I feel I am reading or watching Shakespeare, with the elegant teenage protagonist taking taking a moon to proclaim her death to come, then dress for it, then orate a little more, then die sighing for another moon…..  has it come down to this? 

💠RT: ‘Your vampire ball is over’ – Putin to Western elites

Waiting for this very anticipated interview. Will post when english is out (let me know too!)

This does not appear a climb-down by Zionists, who had promised a campaign of Annihilation all through 2024. It indicates whatever is going down will have happened by “a month or two.” And who will remember these words at that point anyhow?

💠@Sputnik Africa: Russian President Vladimir Putin signs a law allowing the use of digital financial assets in international settlements

🔹This means that digital financial assets, digital rights of use, and digital rights that include these two instruments can now be used as a means of payment for imports and exports.

March 10

The madness of the Europoodles in Europe and the unhinged satanism on display in Gaza, threaten to coalesce. How will the civilizational-states take it now? Clearly all off-ramps were spurned, contemptuously so.

“Russia must kneel and the last Palestinian must be annihilated.”

These are clearly not fruitful terms of negotiation! To preserve civilization from the holocaust that threatens them all, they must get creative. Weapons “with new physical properties?” What else?

“dance like a butterfly, sting like a bee”

It is really a pity the demented monkeys have such big grenades influencing all calculations.

These UkroNazis are seriously unhinged. This is their Papa! The one who already (double-secretly, a la Animal House) consecrated their Holy Victory over Russia.. tsk-tsk

However, he refused to say which countries the soldiers were stationed there and in what capacity.

💠@DDGeopolitics:
⭕ Mariupol is coming back to life, recovering from the trauma and destruction the city had suffered under the neo-Nazis from the Azov battalion, who used civilians as human shields and civilian infrastructure as their fortified points.
👉 #See4Yourself, hear the residents of Mariupol, witnesses speak out.
🏢 Another 9 brand-new residential high-rises were commissioned: those who lost their apartments have received new flats (550 in this batch). The housing comes with children’s playgrounds, schools and kindergartens – all included.

There’s something heartwarming about Soviet style urban fortresses and pastel colors. We have visions of bellbottoms, disco, bells being rung by FAB-1500s.. Bet no nazi will try to squat inside them again!

⭕ ❗️The Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy, Admiral Nikolai Evmenov, has been dismissed from his post.
⚡️Admiral Alexander Moiseev has been appointed in his place.
I had a warm spot for Evmenov! Sad. But there’s been a dereliction of duty in the Black Sea. The buck stops with the top Admiral..
