President Donald Trump has invited accused war criminal Vladimir Putin to join his “Board of Peace” initiative. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters Monday that Moscow is “studying all details” of Trump’s overture to the Russian leader, and “hopes for discussions with Washington to go over all the nuances.” If accepted, the MAGA leader’s offer would see the Russian tyrant join a U.S-led group set up to ostensibly “promote stability” and restore “lawful governance” in areas of conflict, with a principal focus on the restoration and reconstruction of the Gaza Strip. Bizarrely, news of Putin’s invite came just hours after Trump cited the “Russian threat” to Greenland as a reason for the U.S. to seize control of the Danish-owned territory. #Trump#Putin 👂More on Trump's Ear ⚠️

🇷🇺@RusEmbMalta Press release Results of the year with Vladimir Putin 🎙 Vladimir #Putin summed up the results of the year and answered questions from journalists and the people of Russia in a live broadcast. (December 19, 2024) Key points: 🔹Russia has become much stronger over the past two or three years and today is largely in the state we have been striving for. It has grown stronger and become a truly sovereign country. The combat readiness of the Russian Armed Forces is the highest in the world today. 🔹 We are able to confidently stand on our feet. <...> International financial and economic institutions, assessing the size of the Russian economy, have placed our country in first place in Europe and fourth place in the world. 🔹US sanctions are a method of unfair competition. The US is afraid of rivalry, and therefore uses such means of political struggle, but in the end this circumstance will be harmful to the US themselves. 🔹 Russia is ready to negotiate with any representative of Ukraine if he is legitimate. If someone goes to the elections and gains legitimacy there, we will talk to anyone. But we can only sign documents with those who are legitimate. We have always said that we are ready for both negotiations and compromises. It is just that the other side, literally and figuratively, refused to negotiate. 🔹 What is happening with the Russian Orthodox Church in Ukraine is a gross, simply blatant violation of human rights, believers. The church is being torn apart before the eyes of the whole world. And everyone in the whole world prefers not to notice this. The people who are behind this are atheists. 🔹 Russia will continue to increase its share of the global LNG market, especially since the need for energy from the point of view of the development of the world economy is still growing and will continue to grow. 🔹 Russia and #China are doing a lot that meets the interests of both the Chinese people and the people of the Russian Federation. <...> The volume of trade between our countries, according to various estimates, is $220-240 billion, and growth continues. 🔹 Russia has achieved its goals in Syria, preventing the creation of a terrorist enclave there. <...> Today, the situation in the Syrian Arab Republic is not easy. Russia stands for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Syria, and supports the authorities in the SAR on this issue. We very much hope that peace and calm will come there. 🔹 The main beneficiary of the events in Syria is Israel. Russia condemns the seizure of any Syrian territories. Our position here is not subject to any adjustment. 🔹 I do not know when we will meet with him [D. Trump]. I have not spoken to him for more than four years. I am ready for this, of course, at any time, and will be ready for a meeting if he wants it. 🔹 We will never forget the sacrifices that our people made on the altar of Victory over Nazis. We will be glad to see everyone who wishes to come to us to celebrate this significant date. We are open to everyone who wants to be with us and celebrate Victory Day in Moscow. Read in full here.

Over the past year two parallel sets of talks have been held about ending the war in Ukraine. American-led negotiations with Russia have produced proposal after proposal but no agreement on territory or security guarantees. Meanwhile, other envoys from the Kremlin and the White House have been discussing business. Volodymyr Zelensky, citing Ukrainian intelligence, says Russia has promised deals worth $12trn to America in return for sanctions relief; one insider reckons a package has already been agreed on. In Europe fears are rising that President Donald Trump could force Ukraine into crippling concessions by June—his latest deadline for peace—to chase gold in Russia. #Russia#Trump#Putin 👂More on Trump's Ear ⚠️

@RusEmbMalta Press release: President Vladimir #Putin on the Kiev regime strikes deep inside Russia using Western long-range weapons (St. Petersburg, September 12, 2024) 📄 Key points: 🔹The Ukrainian army is not capable of using cutting-edge high-precision long-range systems supplied by the West. These weapons are impossible to employ without intelligence data from satellites which #Ukraine does not have. 🔹 It is about deciding whether #NATO countries become directly involved in the military conflict or not. 🔹 If this decision is made, it will mean nothing short of direct involvement – it will mean that NATO countries, the United States, and European countries are parties to the war in Ukraine. 🔹 This will mean that NATO countries – the United States and European countries – are at war with Russia. And if this is the case, then, bearing in mind the change in the essence of the conflict, we will make appropriate decisions in response to the threats that will be posed to us. Read in full here.

@RusEmbMalta press release: 🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey #Lavrov’s interview with the Sputnik, Govorit Moskva, and Komsomolskaya Pravda radio stations (April 19, 2024) 💬 Sergey Lavrov: President of Russia Vladimir #Putin is constantly reminding everyone that we always prefer talks to fights and wars. At this stage, we always repeat the following <...> whenever anyone asks whether we are ready for talks. First, President of #Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky has forbidden himself to negotiate with Russia. He should at least take the first step and repeal that order. Secondly, they cannot be trusted. We have been trying to make ourselves trust them for too long. ☝️ And yet, we are ready to negotiate. But unlike the Istanbul story, we will not pause the military actions for the period of negotiations. The process must go on. In addition, the realities on the ground have changed significantly. These realities must be taken into account. Read in full 👉tinyurl.com/2rcvpkcx
