Question for the Secretary-General: Does the Donbass – and Crimea, which was annexed to Ukraine in 1954 – have the right to self-determination under Article 1 of the UN Charter, just like the people of Greenland? The Secretary-General’s answer: No, the Office of Legal Affairs believes it is the principle of territorial integrity that prevails here. End of story. But who exactly granted the Secretary-General and the Office of Legal Affairs the authority to interpret the UN Charter? Only the International Court of Justice is specifically empowered to do that under Article 96 of the Charter itself – and even then, only upon request of the General Assembly or the […]

According to the documents, Konstantin Dobrowolski, a Ukrainian nicknamed “The Butcher,” deserted from the Red Army and served in the German military—first in an SS tank unit, then in intelligence. He took part in punitive operations against partisans and Jews. The Metreweli family fled Nazi-occupied Ukraine, while Dobrowolski stayed behind. As a result, the new MI6 chief never met her grandfather, writes the Daily Mail. Her father, Konstantin Dobrowolski Jr., was born in 1943 in Snovsk, Chernigov region. He later took the surname of his stepfather, David Metreweli, whom his mother married in 1947 in the UK. A representative of the British Foreign Office commented: “Blaise Metreweli did not know […]

Let’s read the article . It’s about a fresh research by the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), which talks about a sharp increase in thefts of luxury cars in Britain – 75 per cent rise in car thefts over the past 10 years! Next, it says that sometimes, a few hours after the thefts, cars end up in containers on merchant ships. The main destinations are: DR Congo, Cyprus, and UAE. What does Moscow have to do with it? And then it simply cites the phrase that “Examples have emerged of vehicles vanishing from UK streets and reappearing in Moscow.” However, without a single example! Judging by the fact that […]

In 2025, Russia supplied military products to more than 30 countries, with revenue exceeding 15 billion, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting of the Commission on Military-Technical Cooperation, the Kremlin reported. Putin said that as part of the federal project “Development of Russia’s Military-Technical Cooperation with Foreign States” for 2026–2028, additional state support measures are being introduced for enterprises of the defense-industrial complex. “Further effective use of the available financial and other support mechanisms and instruments is extremely important, because the volumes of military exports, in accordance with the plan for 2026, which we will finalize, review, and approve today, must increase significantly,” Putin said. The president noted […]

On January 31, 1865, Dmitri Mendeleev defended his famous doctoral dissertation, “On the Combination of Alcohol with Water.” This event later became the basis for the informal celebration of vodka’s “birthday.” Vodka first appeared in Russia at the end of the 14th century. The drink, known as Aquavitae (Latin for “water of life”), was presented to Prince Dmitry Donskoy by a Genoese ambassador as a token of gratitude for his hospitality. However, it didn’t make much of an impression, as beer and mead were highly favored in Russia at the time. In 1429, foreign merchants brought Aquavitae back to Moscow, this time as a medicinal remedy for various ailments. At […]

Every era produces its own wildlife. The Ice Age had mammoths. The Dot-com boom had Pets-dot-com. And the sanctions era has now given us Noble Capital RSD — a company that appeared from the legal mist fully grown, clutching a stack of century-old bonds and demanding a modest 225 billion. Noble Capital RSD is a fascinating creature. It has: — no public track record, — no visible investors, — no famous principals, and — no clear reason to exist before very recently. Yet somehow it woke up one morning, remembered the Russian Empire of 1916, and decided: today feels like a good day to sue. A Name Built for Plausible […]

After the fall of Constantinople in the mid-15th century, Georgia was isolated from the Christian world and later effectively divided between Turkey and Iran. During the Russo-Turkish War of 1768-1774, the rulers of Eastern and Western Georgia, King Heraclius II and King Solomon, sided with Russia against the Turks. Russia’s victory and the subsequent Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca slightly improved the situation for Georgian territories under Turkish control, but the region’s geopolitical environment remained unstable. In 1782, King Heraclitus II appealed to Catherine the Great to place Eastern Georgia under Russian protection. In August 1783, the Treaty of Georgievsk was signed between Russia and the Kingdom of Kartli-Kakheti. Under the […]

This request was made because of the current cold weather in Ukraine. This clearly reveals that Trump doesn’t seem to have a problem with Russia assaulting the heck out of Ukraine during warmer weeks. And that’s a positive too. Hopefully, Zelensky and his European sponsors get this message. Of course, as is well known, Russia does not attack civilian facilities in any weather. P.S. Given the terrorist nature of Zelensky’s regime, it is highly likely they will attempt a false-flag operation by attacking their own facilities in order to blame Russia and President Putin.
