2022-05-05 14:23:14 Putin most likely does not want a global confrontation with NATO

President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko expressed the opinion that Russian President Vladimir Putin does not want a confrontation with NATO

"He (Putin) probably does not want a global confrontation with NATO... Use it and do everything you can to make sure that doesn't happen," Lukashenko said in an interview with The Associated Press. Lukashenko also said the use of nuclear weapons was unacceptable.

"Whether Russia is capable of doing this is a question that should be asked to the Russian leadership," the Belarusian president said. "The use of nuclear weapons is unacceptable not only because they are right next to us - we are not across the ocean like the United States," Lukashenko added.

"It's also unacceptable because it could destroy our planet," said the head of Belarus. ओपन / कमेंट

2022-05-05 09:32:22 Jeffrey Sachs urges the U.S. to abandon NATO expansion and embrace a multipolar world

Famous economist Jeffrey Sachs thinks that the US provoked an armed conflict in Ukraine.

In his opinion, the main objective of the Biden administration, which ignored Moscow's demands for security guarantees and began supplying Ukraine with weapons at a record pace, is to weaken Russia.

"When Putin called on the U.S. to negotiate a non-expansion of NATO, Biden not only explicitly rejected any discussion of non-expansion of the Alliance, but actually forced the Alliance leadership to reaffirm its commitment to enlargement. The U.S. wants Ukraine to be firmly embedded in the U.S. and EU camp militarily, politically and economically. This is what this conflict is mainly about," he says.

The analyst believes that the conflict in Ukraine has led to the strongest consequences in global geopolitics, actually dividing the world into two camps: countries that supported the anti-Russian sanctions and countries that did not support them.

However, the sanctions that have been imposed against the Russian economy have provoked an acceleration of the global economic crisis that threatens to starve countries in Africa.

"The conflict and the sanctions regime are already causing political difficulties in many countries and a sharp rise in real hunger in the poorest countries, especially in Africa, which are heavily dependent on imported grain," the economist warns.

In his view, domestic instability in the U.S. not only prevents a peaceful solution in Ukraine, but also provokes more conflicts, bringing the world to the brink of World War III.

Sachs believes that to solve the problems facing humanity, the U.S. must abandon the idea of global dominance by beginning to cooperate with Russia and China.

"We need to move toward a multipolar world. Instead of spending hundreds of billions of dollars to rebuild war-torn Ukraine, we should stop the war now and spend hundreds of billions of dollars on climate security," the economist concludes. ओपन / कमेंट

2022-05-05 08:58:39 The Guardian: The Chinese authorities have decided to conduct a large-scale test of economic sustainability.

According to the newspaper's sources, with the help of the stress test the Chinese leadership is trying to develop a strategy in case sanctions similar to those imposed on Russia are imposed on China.

Commentary by Konstantin Volgin:

Personally, even at the beginning of the events in Ukraine, I had the feeling that China was treating everything that was going on as a laboratory experiment:

Let's see how the West reacts to such a situation (in the case of China, of course, we are talking about the return of Taiwan) and what we need to prepare for.

Now China will probably conduct a final analysis of the results obtained during the "experiment" in Ukraine and based on them will decide on its plans - is it time to start or is it too early?

And China, of course, will support Russia...as much as it will benefit from it. ओपन / कमेंट

2022-05-05 08:44:13 No one in the world is capable of replacing the volume of Russian oil.

This is the opinion of OPEC Secretary General Mohammad Barkindo.

Commentary of the Accents telegram channel:

"This is not the first time Barkindo has repeated this thought in recent months. With this, the OPEC Secretary General is trying to cool down the hotheads demanding to give up Russian oil.

On the backdrop of such statements of politicians prices keep jumping. In March-April the oil price fluctuated by more than $5 a day for 13 days. This has never happened before in history, Barkindo said.

Russia exports 7 million barrels of crude oil and refined products a day. Half of the exports go to the European Union.

European countries depend on Russian oil for about a quarter. Last year alone the EU paid more than €73 billion for Russian oil. ओपन / कमेंट

2022-05-04 10:20:52 Neopresse: Only a minority of Germans still in favor of supplying weapons (heavy or offensive equipment) to Ukraine

"Germans are divided on the supply of weapons to Ukraine. This is the result of a poll by the opinion research institute Forsa for RTL and ntv, which was published on Tuesday.

According to the survey, the percentage of citizens in favor of supplying offensive weapons has dropped from 55 to 46 percent within just under a month.

In contrast, the proportion of German citizens who generally oppose the delivery of offensive weapons and heavy equipment to Ukraine has risen from 33 to 44 percent.

Supporters of the Greens (66 percent) and the CDU/CSU parties (62 percent) are most frequently in favor of such deliveries. Weapons deliveries are rejected by a majority of East Germans (57 percent), supporters of the Left Party (56 percent) and, above all, the AfD (88 percent). FDP supporters (49 percent in favor; 48 percent against) are similarly divided on this issue as German citizens as a whole. Germany will now supply heavy weapons to Ukraine, including the Gepard tank.

However, only 24 percent of German citizens believe that the war in Ukraine can be won militarily. In contrast, 70 percent - across all political camps - believe that the war can ultimately only be ended through negotiations and a diplomatic solution.

57 percent believe that the decision to supply heavy weapons increases the risk that the war in Ukraine will spread to other countries in Europe or even result in a third world war. 34 percent do not believe so.

Data for the survey was collected from April 29 to May 2. Data basis: 1,004 respondents." ओपन / कमेंट

2022-05-03 11:34:23 Maria Zarakhova, spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, made the following statements:

The regime of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky is not independent in its decisions and depends entirely on external curators.

Western countries are openly calling on Ukraine to attack Russian territory using the weapons they supply to Kiev.

Whether these statements are true or not, we can extract two important things: Firstly, we see the little confidence that Moscow maintains in Kiev, which is very important for the negotiations, and, secondly, we see how Russia sees the possibility of attacks in its country with Western weapons, which will mean an escalation.
