🇷🇺🌍 On the Prospects of Russia Establishing Logistics Bases in Africa A representative of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Roman Chekushev, stated that Russia is considering creating ports in African countries to "organize the flow of domestic goods". Options in Algeria, Senegal, Egypt, and Tanzania are being considered. ▪️In North Africa, the most promising partner is Algeria, and discussions about such projects are ongoing. As early as February, there were discussions about creating a free trade zone in an Algerian port. Military cooperation with Algeria is extensive, including arms supplies and joint naval exercises. The port could enable deployment of an "African Corps" on Algerian territory. ▪️A potential candidate is Senegal, where left-populists recently came to power. For President Bassiru Faye, cooperation with Russia could help negotiate more favorable terms for resource extraction, especially against the backdrop of revising relevant agreements. ▪️For Egypt, this could continue the expansion of the Russian industrial zone in the Suez area. Developing relations with Egypt is promising, but no further military infrastructure is planned yet. ▪️Tanzania's multi-vector policy is conducive to such projects. Against the backdrop of difficulties in Ethiopia and Sudan, Dodoma could become an important logistics partner. 🔻Such statements confirm Russia's intentions to strengthen trade cooperation with Africa, with business as the locomotive for promoting interests where military solutions are not required. Military-technical cooperation can then be strengthened on this foundation. @Rybar Two Majors | Boost us

April 25, 1945 the historical “meeting on the Elbe” took place The troops of the 1st Ukrainian Front of the Red Army under the command of Marshal I.S. Konev met with the 69th and 104th Infantry Divisions of the 1st US Army, General O. Bradley. This event became a harbinger of the defeat of Nazi Germany and the culmination of the allied struggle of the countries of the anti-Hitler coalition. The spirit of unity in the fight against a common enemy, which later became known as the “spirit of the Elbe,” opened up prospects for post-war cooperation. Forgetting about cultural differences, comrades in arms left each other patches, insignia, household items and even valuables as souvenirs. The celebrations continued at the headquarters of the Soviet command on the eastern bank of the Elbe. At the end of the event, the Soviet commander presented his American counterpart with a banner with the inscription “From the soldiers of the 1st Ukrainian Front” and a war horse. As a reciprocal gesture, O. Bradley later gave I.S. Konev a Willys jeep. This is how the witnesses, who became famous throughout the world thanks to a photograph by a reporter from the American Life magazine, recalled this historical moment. B. Robertson (left) described the atmosphere of the meeting with the Soviet military as creating“ a feeling that the world is united.” His photography partner A.S. Silvashko (right) often said that if the camaraderie between American and Soviet soldiers had remained, “the world could have become a different, better place.” From the joint statement of the Presidents of Russia and the US on the occasion of the 75th anniversary (2020) of the meeting on the Elbe: "The Spirit of the Elbe is an example of how our countries can put aside differences, build trust and cooperate towards a common goal. As we confront the most serious challenges of the 21st century today, we pay tribute to the valor and courage of all those who fought together to defeat fascism. Their heroic deed will never be forgotten." @Slavyangrad | Inna 👋

Russia may downgrade the status of diplomatic relations with the United States This will happen in the event of practical measures to confiscate its Russian assets, said Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov . Earlier, the United States adopted a bill on the confiscation of Russian assets in favor of Ukraine. @Slavyangrad | Inna 👋

🗣 UKRAINE WILL SUFFER, MORE CASUALTIES, MORE DESTRUCTION if it attacked deeper into Russia with West's newly-supplied long-range missiles - Kremlin Spokesman Peskov comments on news Ukraine already put Washington's ATACMS into civilian-murdering action.

As Putin said, Increasing range of missiles supplied to Ukraine will lead to expansion of buffer zone for Russian security With such weapons, Ukraine will end up in more pain, there will be more casualties, there will be more destruction - Peskov, warns above.

⚡️ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail - Reuters TikTok owner ByteDance would prefer to shut down its loss-making app rather than sell it if the Chinese company exhausts all legal options to fight legislation to ban the platform from app stores in the US, four sources said. TikTok accounts for a small share of ByteDance's total revenues and daily active users, so the parent would rather have the app shut down in the US in a worst-case scenario than sell it to a potential American buyer, they said. The algorithms TikTok relies on for its operations are deemed core to ByteDance's overall operations, which would make a sale of the app with algorithms highly unlikely, a source close to the parent company told Reuters. 🟩 @RTnews_unc3

Team "Luftwaffe"? 😂 Couldn't make it up. Who's he going to fly with next? SquadSS88?

US and UK both want Poland to replace Germany as first line nuclear defence against Russia, Germany is to be de-industrialised as a WEF experimenting ground for green tech, bug eating and gender confusion experiments (and lots of vaccinations.) Anglos will shift the battle north towards the arctic in an attempt to access resources and disrupt the north sea route which china wants use to to avoid US beligerence in the SCS.

Liberal world order must be destroyed – Orban Western liberal hegemony has failed and must be destroyed, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban stated on Thursday, suggesting it could end as soon as this year. Addressing the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC Hungary) in Budapest, Orban criticized the existing “world order based on progressive liberal hegemony,” saying it has spawned numerous figureheads who are “not fit to be leaders,” with even “beauty pageants” knowing more about peace then they do. He accused liberal politicians of building “hegemonic ideological control to which everyone must submit” instead of actual governing, while turning “state bodies into tools of oppression.” Such forces are a dangerous enemy whose time is coming to an end, Orban claimed. 🟩 @RTnews_unc3

NATO equipment continues to arrive in Moscow. But there's a nuance 😂
