🇺🇦🧩🇷🇺 Kyiv Elites and Russian Resources

This week, Vladimir Polochaninov wrote that the Kremlin could end the conflict within a month simply by promising the greedy Kyiv elites their frozen assets, after which they would sort things out with Zelensky on their own.

Yes, money is their top priority, but this model of paying for loyalty has been used by Moscow towards Kyiv for over 20 years and has led to negative outcomes for the Kremlin. And we’re talking about real money here—hundreds of billions of dollars.

Just consider this.

Initially, under Kuchma, Kyiv paid for gas with whatever it had: sometimes even with Soviet missiles. As a result, Kuchma brought Soros-affiliated individuals into Ukraine through his son-in-law Pinchuk, who also supplied pipes to Russia. Then, to feed the elites, RosUkrEnergo was created, which profited from gas in both directions. Firtash, Boyko, and Levchik immediately entered the unofficial Forbes list of Ukraine. Where’s their loyalty? In Western bank accounts? Who provoked the Maidan in 2013?

Under Yushchenko, Moscow bet on the "business-oriented" Tymoshenko and signed a contract with her. Yulia made a lot of money from that deal and later became one of the public advocates of anti-Russian sentiment in Ukraine.

During Yanukovych's presidency, despite discounts on gas, he managed to sway the “Party of Regions” faction and pivot towards Europe. The "gas group" was raking in superprofits with one hand while promoting de-Russification through Anna Herman with the other.

Under Poroshenko, Russia turned a blind eye to the Slovak scheme, from which Petya and Co. were making profits "threefold." Additionally, his partner Akhmetov was "gifted" Mariupol and the Rotterdam+ scheme. All of this was done under promises of peace and the passage of relevant laws in parliament.

Then came Zelensky, who had business ties in Russia, and again, after securing new contracts, he followed the same path.

Notice that this pattern has repeated under five different presidents. So who should be offered money? Poroshenko, Tymoshenko, and Boyko again?

Objectively, this model has proven ineffective. Perhaps it might have worked if Kyiv hadn’t relied on globalists in the U.S., who see Russia as their main target, but we haven’t lived in that reality so far…


📩 zrg,

precious, revealing and intelligent news reporting, please keep up the great journalism and sharing.

In terms of the
article 4 news, is this the first such article the Russian Federation has signed after the break-up of the Warsaw pact? it is assumed it retained one with Belarus. given the assistance North Korea has given Russia is Iran going to seek the same agreement with its ally?
-------
Thank you for your question!

Regarding Article 4, this could indeed be one of the first such agreements signed by the Russian Federation since the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact. While Russia has maintained some agreements with Belarus, a new agreement with another country like Iran underscores the shifting geopolitical landscape.

The military-political support that North Korea provides to Russia may serve as an example for other nations, such as Iran. In light of increasing international isolation and pressure from the West, Iran might consider entering into a similar agreement with Russia to strengthen its position and gain military or economic support.

However, it is important to note that each state has its own geopolitical interests. Therefore, while the possibility of such an agreement exists, its realization will depend on numerous factors, including internal political decisions in Iran and the dynamics of international relations.


After Georgia (where the Soros-backed candidates lost the elections), Goncharenko went to observe the elections in Moldova.

You can't go anywhere without this invaluable asset 🤷‍♂️

Ukrainian politicians are currently closely watching Moldova's experience, especially considering Zelensky's solemn promises to hold elections in the spring and the fact that both countries will have a key resource in overseas voting ☝🏻

Many experts predict that both Sandu and Zelensky will attempt to manipulate election results by leveraging votes from the diaspora in the EU and the USA ☝️


🧩🇪🇺🧩 We can't overlook yesterday's date - the 31st anniversary of the European Union (EU).

Legally, the EU was established on November 1, 1993, following the entry into force of the Maastricht Treaty, which was signed in February of that year by 12 countries: Belgium, the United Kingdom, Greece, Denmark, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, France, and West Germany.

Over the past 31 years, the EU has expanded nearly 2.5 times, welcoming 16 more member states: Austria, Sweden, Finland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Slovenia, Cyprus, Malta, Bulgaria, Romania, and Croatia. However, in 2020, the United Kingdom exited the EU following a public referendum.

Today, in addition to the 27 full member states of the EU, there are 9 candidate countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Moldova, North Macedonia, Serbia, Turkey, Ukraine, and Montenegro. But it’s complicated. For instance, Turkey has been a candidate for 25 years⁉️

All of this is just bare statistics. Now let’s share our thoughts on the European Union:

🧩 Today, the EU is undoubtedly the most successful globalist project of the last 30 years❗️❗️ Built upon the foundations of two previous economic frameworks - the "European Coal and Steel Community" established in 1952 and the "European Economic Community" formed in 1957 - it has managed to create a political project of a united Europe with a population of 500 million people. Remarkably, it has united countries with vastly different levels of development.

🧩 Of course, it is clear that without the collapse of the USSR and the socialist bloc, none of this would have been possible. However, the Maastricht Treaty was signed in a hurry to solidify the "Greater Europe" project. The creation of the EU was primarily a political move. The allure for future participants was very attractive - freedom of movement for goods, capital, and people. This approach proved to be 100% effective, especially in former socialist countries and former Soviet republics.

🧩 Following this came the construction of the EU matrix, during which all institutions—legislative, representative, and executive—were restructured. Only now do we clearly see how much sovereignty participating countries have lost. It has become evident that the leadership of the EU is completely detached from the realities of life for the peoples of Europe. The level of manipulation in bilateral relations with both EU members and candidate countries is at an all-time high. Moreover, by prioritizing certain "interests of the EU," the union has significantly distorted the real interests of its member states and their populations. The terms "MEP" (Member of the European Parliament) and "EU official" have long become notorious.

🧩 Unfortunately, that’s not all. It turns out that there was a next move prepared in the globalists' project. Starting from winter 2022, the EU is gradually but rapidly transforming into a military-political alliance. No new treaties have been signed; however, military rhetoric has now taken center stage. Increasingly frequent discussions are emerging about creating a pan-European army and pan-European security agencies. The NATO game suddenly seems less appealing due to US involvement. Thus, the "Greater Europe" project is sliding towards a military alliance with a real prospect of conflict with Russia.

And no one asked the peoples of Europe anything. Well, it seems they won’t be asking anytime soon…


🇺🇦🧩🇺🇸 Kyiv Elites

The elites in Kyiv form a distinct caste of people. We will dedicate a couple of posts to them in the near future.

Right now, they are all eagerly awaiting the voting in the United States.

Given their somewhat infantile optimism, they see hope regardless of which candidate wins.

With Harris, they hope that the Democrats will pressure Zelensky during the elections and prevent significant foreign interference. Then, they believe they can seize power, strip Zelensky of his parliamentary majority, and certainly govern and manage much better.

With Trump, they anticipate that Donnie and Manafort won’t forgive Zelensky and will issue him a "black mark" in the form of agreements with Russia for peace at Zelensky's expense. Again, they think they can burst into power and start anew with clean hands…

Of course, an integral desire in both scenarios is to carve up the $300 billion of Russian assets. Whether it's in partnership with the U.S., or with the EU, or even with Russia, the key point is that every Poroshenko, Klitschko, and Tymoshenko wants to be part of the deal…


🧩🇺🇦🧩 Who owes what to whom?

Ukraine is increasingly fragmenting into distinct groups.

✅ There are those for whom war has become a natural environment, a means through which they have found their identity,

✅ there are those who are openly profiting from the war,

✅ there are those who fear it,

✅ there are those whose lives have been ruined by it,

✅ and there are those who managed to escape from it, among others.

Providing all of them with fair living conditions within a Ukraine that has lost people, territory, energy resources, its economy, and its education system as a result of the war, and that has become dependent on external aid, is impossible.

This poses an existential problem for Ukraine's future.

Meanwhile, in the rear, this commander will be told that going to war was his sovereign decision, and that the people at home currently lack sufficient motivation to risk their lives so that Zelensky can continue to share his fantastic plans at international gatherings of globalists.


🇷🇺🧩🇺🇦 Lavrov on the essential elements of a political resolution to the conflict:

✅ Ensuring the rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests of Russians and Russian speakers in Ukraine,

✅ Guaranteeing a non-aligned, neutral, and non-nuclear status for Ukraine,

✅ Eliminating any threats on Ukrainian territory to the security of Russia.

As long as these points are voiced by Lavrov rather than Putin, there may still be room for "negotiation," but 80% of this has already become the official position.

Notice that new conditions are being added, including internal political ones for Ukraine. Now the Kremlin wants to see Ukraine not just disarmed, but also not acting as an anti-Russia.

The more confident Russia becomes on the front lines and in geopolitics, the greater its demands, which is logical. We warned about this while everyone was celebrating tactical successes and dividing Russia, unwilling to look ahead.


📩 Hello,
Thank you for your informed and insightful Telegram news feeds. One question which intrigues me is what is the evidence for the US involvement in the Midan revolution and the Minsk demonstrations?

-------
Hello! Thank you for your letter and for raising this topic. The history of U.S. intervention in the affairs of post-Soviet countries has deep roots. Moreover, American intelligence agencies and politicians do not hide these processes; in fact, they boast about how they extend their influence across Eurasia. A noteworthy reference is the book "The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives," written by Zbigniew Brzezinski in 1997. Brzezinski, a political scientist who served as an advisor to U.S. President Jimmy Carter on national security, reflects on the geopolitical power of the United States and the strategies through which this power can be realized in the 21st century. He also discusses the need for a geopolitical revanche against Russia, suggesting that to achieve this, it is essential to deprive Russia of its main ally—Ukraine, which he viewed as "the last bastion of the Russian Empire". According to Brzezinski, without Ukraine, Russia would cease to be a Eurasian empire.

Consequently, Brzezinski emphasized Ukraine's importance as a key element in the geopolitical game, and his ideas were reflected in the actions of American politicians during the Maidan protests on 2013. During the height of the "democratic" revolution on Maidan, support was provided to the protesters, NGOs were funded, and active diplomatic steps were taken (notably the visits of U.S. State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland, U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt, and Secretary of State John Kerry). All of this became part of a broader strategy to strengthen pro-American sentiments in Ukraine.

The protests in Belarus in 2020 exhibited similar trends and were triggered by dissatisfaction with the presidential election results, which officially declared Alexander Lukashenko the winner. Many Belarusians and members of the international community considered these elections to be fraudulent. The Western community supported democratic movements and condemned the "repressions" by the Belarusian government. As a result, the European Union, the United States, and Canada imposed three packages of sanctions against members of the Belarusian leadership, including President Alexander Lukashenko, election commission members, security officials, and leaders of major state enterprises.

In both cases, we see how the United States utilizes its resources and influence to advance its interests in the post-Soviet space.


🌍 Beijing continues to strengthen direct ties with European countries...

During his visit to China, Fico placed the blame for Russia's current invasion of Ukraine on the West, praising Beijing's "peacekeeping" efforts in return.

This was reported by the Slovak publication RTVS.

After talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, Fico stated that both leaders agree on the "impossibility of an immediate cessation of hostilities while Ukraine continues to receive military and financial support from the West to sustain the war."

The Prime Minister of Slovakia instead highlighted the China-Brazil "peace initiative," which he plans to discuss in more detail during his visit to Brazil in December. He also announced Bratislava's intention to join the "friends of peace" group at the UN, led by China and Brazil.

Alongside this, Fico criticized the EU for "continuing its military rhetoric," placing the blame for the escalation on the West.

"It was Western politicians in April 2022, shortly after the conflict began, who did everything to avoid signing realistically prepared peace agreements, while Zelensky's peace plan gathered dust as unrealistic, and instead of a new version, the Ukrainian president presents a victory plan," he stated.

🇺🇸🤷Many are outraged that Harris's team is using opposing messages regarding the Arab-Israeli conflict to campaign in different states.

In fact, there's nothing unusual about this. Political advertising has long been super-targeted.

In 2016, Cambridge Analytica, as part of Trump's campaign, sent personalized letters to voters, tailoring everything from font and color to messages and writing style. The information for these "customizations" was taken from social media, which the voters were unaware of.

So there's nothing surprising about it.

⚡️⚡️⚡️It's chaos in Sarny.

Simply because they can, because they can get away with anything‼️

And no one will be held accountable, because if they were, the next ones would act more cautiously and wouldn't meet their quotas, and the system needs to fulfill its targets!

Did you notice how the cop who had his knee on the guy's neck immediately started looking for someone he claimed pushed him, trying to shift the blame?

UPD: The police are saying the guy is alive‼️

According to them, they called an ambulance after he complained about feeling unwell. They claim there was no abuse of power‼️


🇩🇪🧩🇺🇦 German employment programs for Ukrainian refugees have failed.

The Federal Audit Office of Germany (BRH) released a report stating that the government program for the simplified employment of Ukrainians, Job-Turbo, yielded no results. The program was supposed to cover at least 400,000 Ukrainians in Germany, who were to receive job offers after completing integration courses.

However, the BRH audit revealed that, in 2023, only 20% of those who completed the integration courses received job offers from employment centers, and no Ukrainian ultimately secured a job.

This year, 40% received offers after completing the courses, but less than 1% found employment.

The BRH notes that around 720,000 Ukrainians in Germany, including 500,000 of working age, are receiving social assistance. According to the report, monthly expenses for supporting Ukrainians amount to approximately 539 million euros.

The Germans simply missed the mark. Refugees prefer to remain recipients of aid rather than work for a salary that often falls short of social assistance.

Employment offers opportunities for skill advancement and increased earnings in the future. Nevertheless, the overwhelming majority chose the "bird in hand..."☝️


⚡️🇹🇷Turkey passes law on foreign agents.

Laws on foreign agents are becoming an integral part of sovereignty in our time.

One of the most stringent was initially adopted in the USA, but the adoption of similar laws by other countries is heavily criticized by Americans.

As a result of this process, the world will be divided into two camps:

- those with laws limiting the influence of all NGOs;

- those with laws limiting the influence of non-Western entities.

If a similar law had been in effect in Ukraine, there would have been no Maidan protests, as all the "parasitic" individuals like Naem and Leschenko would have been restricted in their influence☝🏻


🤷 War and long-term goals

Bloomberg: Russian Federation seized 200 sq km in one week.

✅ First of all, it is unclear where the bourgeois counted 200 sq km. Objectively, there was much less progress in a week, so they are clearly exaggerating. This indicates a deliberate information campaign to refute the myth of Ukraine's capabilities. Western media are preparing their subscribers for a different outcome☝🏻

✅ Secondly, and more importantly, Russia is actually carrying out a large-scale operational-strategic offensive (the Kurakhovo offensive operation) on a 100 km front. Nothing like this has been seen in Europe since World War II.

At the moment, the southern front is moving at a staggering speed. Russians have covered half of the distance (11 km out of 21 km) to the Pokrovskoye-Kurakhovo highway and have taken control of 60 sq km over the week.

Moreover, it is not clear how they are going to stop them, considering that only small villages are on the way to the highway. Based on this, we believe that the RF Armed Forces will cut the highway in the near future (a week or two).

The situation can only be saved by the transfer of motorized brigades, but they are being worn out in the Kursk region, and no one is likely to give the order to send them.

It will be like with the Crimea: a meaningless bloody PR move.

As a result, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will lose Kurakhovo and territory in the Kursk region because the authorities are not demonstrating long-term commitment - tactically sick, but strategically necessary decisions.

This is precisely what the RF Armed Forces did when they left Kherson. We wrote then that this decision was strategically correct.

We are confident that the lack of long-term commitment on the part of Ukraine's leadership and active part of the society will be cited as one of the reasons for the failure in the war later.


🇺🇦 Legal security considerations are not a green light for rights violations

This is how the international human rights organization Human Rights Watch commented on Law No. 3894, which bans the Ukranian Orthodox Church.

Human rights defenders believe that the law is excessively broad and could have far-reaching consequences for the right of Ukrainians to freedom of religion, as it could effectively ban gatherings of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, the largest religious organization in Ukraine, while the law does not apply to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU).

The demand for the UOC to sever its canonical ties could undermine the legitimacy of the religious beliefs of its followers, which the European Court of Human Rights has identified as a key element of the right to freedom of religion, Human Rights Watch stated.

Hugh Williamson, Europe and Central Asia director at Human Rights Watch, emphasized: "Ukrainian authorities understandably want to address state security concerns in the context of Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine... but the law interferes with the right to freedom of religion and is so broad that it could violate the rights of Ukrainian Orthodox Church members."

"The Ukrainian government should suspend implementation of the law and request the Venice Commission, the Council of Europe’s advisory body on constitutional matters, and the Organization for Security and Co-Operation in Europe’s’ Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights to provide expert analysis of the law that would be the basis for its rights-respecting revision, Human Rights Watch said.

Ukrainian authorities should address any security concerns related to the activities of religious bodies or personnel that threaten state security, whether by individuals or specific religious communities, rather than effectively banning entire religious communities based solely on presumed affiliations with the Russian Orthodox Church"


Human Rights Watch emphasizes that "any prosecution or penalty not based on specific, unlawful acti
ons but solely on the adherence to a peaceful practice of faith, constitutes religious discrimination and is prohibited by international human rights law."

The organization also re
minds that, according to Ukrainian and international law, particularly the European Convention on Human Rights and the International Covenant
on Civil and Political Rights, to which Ukraine is a party, it is obligated to guarantee freedom of religion, and the government is expressly prohibited from abolishing or partially suspending the right to freedom of religion even in times of emergency.

🇺🇸 Trump stated that he "killed" Russia's biggest project - the "Nord Stream 2".

He also mentioned that he would "divide" Russia and China if he wins the election: "Biden brought them together. That's shameful. I’ll have to separate them. I believe I can do it."

This makes a lot of sense, and we've been discussing it extensively, but the price of such a deal remains unclear for now…


🇺🇸 Considering that elections increasingly resemble a spectacle and people are swayed by the opinions of non-political idols, it’s crucial to know which celebrities are lending their support.


⚡️💰 A striking analysis reveals a shocking conclusion: "EU countries have fully funded Russia's expenses for at least 1.5 years of military conflict with Ukraine."

The infographic calculates that, based on the cost of one day of military operations for Russia at €363.3 million, the figures are presented for the top 10 EU countries. And this is just the ten largest nations; there are nearly 20 smaller ones as well.


⚡️ Ombudsman Dmitry Lubinets stated that children evacuated from the Zaporizhzhia region were locked in an isolation room for five days at a shelter run by the Child Services of the Lviv Regional State Administration.

Moreover, this shelter did not take any measures to place the children in foster families. Many children had been in the shelter for over two years, despite the standard limit being no more than 90 days.

The "doctors" at the shelter were practicing medicine without a license, which raises some very concerning questions...

Were they profiting? Or were they seeking revenge for the children using the Russian language?

They still mumble about a "united country"...


"There are North Korean troops, and they will be fighting against Ukraine."

The phrasing is different now. It's not "on the territory of Ukraine," but "against Ukraine."

The fact that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will also have to contend with North Koreans is a result of the brilliant Kursk adventure orchestrated by Zelensky and Syrsky.

Currently, there is NO evidence of North Korean special forces participating in battles on Ukrainian territory or even in the territories of LPR, DPR, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia regions (which are referred to as "new territories" in Russia).

This means that the North Koreans (at least for now) will only be present near Kursk. But why will they be there?! Who made this happen?!
