1. Starting today, Gazprom supplies gas to unfriendly countries for rubles (exceptions are possible through the decision of a government commission).

2. The mechanism is as transparent as possible for Western clients - they continue to receive gas under existing contracts, the conversion of euros into rubles for Gazprom through the Moscow Currency Exchange will be done by Gazprombank affiliated with Gazprom, which for the normal operation of the mechanism must be free from Western sanctions. This is just a working mechanism for circumventing sanctions, which your propaganda trumpeted as a win, giving European politicians a chance to save face. In the week of waiting for Putin's decree in Europe, they came up with everything, including scenarios that would be catastrophic for the economy of an immediate refusal of Russian gas, so the mere possibility of continuing to pay in euros under existing contracts is regarded by the European Union as its own victory. I said above that Putin's first offer is usually the best for partners - and here it is. Putin shows respect for the German industrial business by keeping their existing contracts almost unchanged, except for the bank details of the recipient of funds for a stable supply of Russian gas. Putin does not want to break mutually beneficial ties with Europe, because Moscow is also Europe. This is a strong move by Putin, showing him as a mature strategist. But you can keep shouting "Пepeмoгa", ok.  

I am based on data from the Russian Ministry of Defense. There are a lot of fakes on the Ukrainian side (including about 100 captured tanks), Russian data looks reliable. Putin has declared the west to be the "Empire of Lies", so Russians have to tell the truth in order to look like a knight in shining armor.

Yes, this is discrimination based on nationality, a manifestation of Nazism. What collective responsibility are you talking about? I did not vote for Putin in the elections and I am not responsible for his decisions and actions. I am responsible for my decisions and actions, but I have no responsibility simply because I am Russian. I am human and you can treat me without national or racial prejudice.

Here is the "mechanism": Gazprom bank would open euro/dollar and ruble accounts for gas buyers; buyers are supposed to transfer euros/dollars; the bank then would convert those euros/dollars to rubles; Gazprom would take those rubles.

That's what I'm saying, instead of massive aerial bombardments of cities and fortified areas, there are pinpoint missile strikes on outbreaks of military activity. Let me remind you that the United States bombed Iraq for 37 days before launching a ground operation, and Iraq is half the size of Ukraine and there are deserts there. Russia is acting much more humanely towards the civilian population. Ukraine is heterogeneous in composition, in the East there are many Russian-speaking people who have been living under shelling from the Armed Forces of Ukraine for eight years, for example, as residents of Donetsk. Refugees from Mariupol to Russian territory talk about the atrocities of the Azov Nazis who shoot and kill civilians.

Lets remove most of the darkness from the world.
I have enough of this and im sure you have enough of this bs and darkness.
Let's form the light-governence to govern world how it will be correct according to light the good not evil.
The evil is bad even for those who create evil so to stop them for doing evil they will be saved because they are in darkness they cant feel the difference anymore between dark and light.

Looking for all the people from various of occupations to start work asap and getting things done

Are you intetested about join in and perhaps you can find some meaning and purpose of your existence.

Russia is now walking back their statements on demanding rubles for oil exports to countries they deem "unfriendly."

Appears they understand they cannot further restrict their economy when it's already on the decline. IMO Russia understands the war is a lost cause and they have no way to circumvent the sanctions, so they have to play the game that the West wants them to play. Using China and India as trading partners can only support Russia's economy to a certain extent. Being isolated from the West has ramifications. There were also some reports that Putin's military generals are downplaying the status of the war and the severity of Russian troop losses because they don't want to be the bearer of bad news. Putin is losing control of his economy and his military.

Seems like Russia is doing divide and conquer. No way it can take Kyiv with <200k troops much less west Ukraine. Looks like now they're just taking out UA mech units and going after fuel reserves. Then they can concentrate on everything east of Dnieper river one at a time, without worrying about reinforcements coming in from the west. ...

Nowadays people are stunned about

Putin's Invasion of Ukraine which he does for denazification reasons,

but on the other hand Ukranians "jewish" president thinks Putin is a Nazi, because he acts in protective interest of russian national people, which zelinski thinks are some kind of good given slave labour that he can exploit with his corrupt ukranian Nazi Oligarchs.

In the Meantime the racist Woke Left in the West is supplying Zelinski with Weapons so the War can go on, because they Love seing a Bloody War in Europe, since the Woke Left is racist, it is also Nazi as the Nazi's where clearly racists.

now the Resistance against the racist Woke Left in the West, is hurting their People of Color Feelings, which then makes them racist, according to the Definition of the Anti Defamation League, racism is when white people don't do what people of Color want.

"racist" itself of Course is a Defamatory Term which the Anti Defamation League thinks to Define, instead of Banning it.

in the Meantime Ultra Ethnic Homogenous States like China are trying to Buy themselves out of Nazi Defamation, as their Ethnic Homogenity makes its Population Act racist, and Xenophobic.

in the Middle east People are trying to avoid Being Nazis, by using Religion as a Justification.

My Conclusion:

Mad New World is ready for World War III
the Winner will earn the Right to Spend Money on his Chosen Others to silence them from Nazi Defamation, but they will ofc only shut up depending on their Pay Check

The decrease in the intensity of the operation near Chernigov and Kiev began two days ago, today it was presented as a gesture of goodwill on the part of Russia. I think everything is more prosaic - the main goal now is to clean up Mariupol and defeat the troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbass. After the defeat of the Ukrainian regular army in the east, Russia will probably take a short pause to force peace negotiations, simultaneously moving to Nikolaevsk and Odessa and threatening to completely deprive Ukraine of access to the sea (even the loss of Mariupol in this regard is very painful for Ukraine). If it is possible to conclude a peace treaty, all nationalist detachments in the West of Ukraine will turn into ordinary terrorist gangs, which in fact they are. If a peace treaty is not signed on terms acceptable to Russia, the operation will continue, but in the West there will be much less loyalty and desire of Russian soldiers to save the lives of civilians. There, the main task will be to save the lives of Russian soldiers to the maximum, so artillery and aviation will work more. This is my vision of the development of the situation as the most likely scenario.

The current proposals of the Ukrainian side in the negotiations are unrealistic and even close to unacceptable for Russia. There will be no second Khasavyurt or new Minsk agreements.

FT reports that Putin may no longer demand "denazification":

This might be a tough time for Kremlin-paid bitcointalkers so please be kind to them while they are waiting for new talking points and are trying to forget everything they said about nazis in Ukraine.

In reality of course it's all bullshit because nothing Putin says or does can be trusted.

Putin, not Russia IMHO.

The Yunarmiya exists in Russia, has a patriotic ideology and a power orientation. But this is not Nazism - simply because Russia is a very multinational country, different religions, different language groups, Russia's ideology is supranational and its political ambitions are more of an imperial nature.

Ukraine has a birth trauma from the break with Russia after the collapse of the USSR, and it elevated its nationalism to the absolute, making it radical. Ukraine had a chance to build its own future - original and free, if it overcame its inferiority complex and did not rely on anti-Russian rhetoric. You yourself became dependent on the United States and chose the path of a puppet.

It looks like you are a Nazi vulgaris, which in principle is not surprising. I respect the Ukrainian people, but the ultra-right nationalist propaganda that has been implanted as the dominant ideology in the western regions of Ukraine since childhood is turning your people into a herd of mindless jumping baboons, openly chanting anti-Russian chants. I don’t understand what’s the point of setting up this zoo in the center of Europe and instilling in fragile minds the idea of ​​the superiority of the Ukrainian race and that everyone owes you something. Bullying prisoners is the current level of your civilization, and this is very sad.

And the people in Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic have voted to break away, and have the own country.
Zelenskyy, Putin, you, I or anyone else has no say in the matter.
Let me remind you coercion is not legal.

On the topic, the rate of dead generals is not excessive... if you compare it with the full massive scale war situation during the Second World war.

jokes apart, the rate of dead generals is around 1 every 5 days, extremely high for most armies, but not for Putins army, which has more than 2000 generals. The reason they are killed at this rate is the poor coordination in the army - they are even using unencrypted comms - that makes it necessary to have generals in the frontline.

I do not agree. Popular support for Putin has grown significantly since the start of the special operation in Ukraine, and now he is supported by 70-80% of Russians. It would be much more difficult for Putin to achieve his goals without the support of the population. Support for Biden in the US is now at an all-time low and does not exceed 40% of the population. European politicians feel even less confident - Europeans are already being offered not just to start saving, but they really face the prospect of freezing next winter.

In my view, it is about time for US and Europe to start providing Ukraine with the right equipment and support for their army to be able to push back Putin's army back into Russian borders. Let's make sure that this war is the last one he dares to wage and we will all, including Russians, be safer and, one day, more prosperous.

Now is time to stop "resisting" and start the ass-kicking.

Russia ran out of euros in gold and foreign exchange reserves a month ago, when one of the very first sanctions imposed blocked the funds of the Central Bank in dollars and euros. Translation - The West stole Russian euros.

China has not joined the Western sanctions, so the Central Bank's yuan is fine, don't worry about it. You did not understand what actually happened after the announcement of "rubles for gas". Now the ruble is the real currency, backed by (for starters) gas. Unlike the dollar and the euro with uncontrolled emission, which are essentially empty shells. It is very funny to see how the countries on the unfriendly list, which cannot refuse Russian gas here and now, will go through five stages of accepting the inevitable:
1. Denial
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression
5. Gas for rubles

Glad you're having fun. For many years the United States inspired you with the idea that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are the strongest army in Europe, and for three whole months of winter you were preparing for the invasion of Russia. And when it happened, you weren't ready. And now Zelensky is running around with a burnt bottom and begging everyone in a row for more planes and tanks, and in general at least something, and "the strongest army in Europe" is fragmented, disoriented, deprived of air support and has not carried out a single successful counter- offensive. It's a shame.

I think with a probability of 90% Poland will try to squeeze out the Lviv region. They have a national idea "from sea to sea" there that constantly itches, but here is such an opportunity.

Russia does not need euros, but the freedom to dispose of them, to buy everything that Russia needs, even if sanctions are imposed on it. One phrase of Putin's "gas for rubles" made 6,000 Western sanctions a senseless hysterical dummy. It is foolish to threaten Russia when she holds you by the balls - Europe will quickly learn this lesson.

Don't threaten if you can't deliver - that's a sign of weakness. Russia could itself overcome the sanctions through spacers and intermediaries, it has enough loyal partners in the world and enough experience. But then the Russians would have to pay overheads and commissions. Now the overhead costs of overcoming their own sanctions will fall on the shoulders of the West. This is an example of political judo, which Putin is very good at.
