Russian Consulate in Cape Town

📰 Presidential Aide Nikolay Patrushev gave an interview to Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper(January 14, 2025) Key points: #USA • The US establishment has been divided and lacks a common policy vision for the world and domestically. • Trump’s core message is that he supposedly has a plan to revive pragmatic politics in the United States, which is expected to benefit both the state and its people. It has yet to be seen how this compares with the interests of other countries and nations. • If Trump’s first term as president is any guide, the infamous deep state has a lot of clout in the USA. It can prevent Trump from pursuing his agenda. • Trump will not view Ukraine as a priority. China is a much bigger concern for him. • Trump has outlined his interests regarding Greenland, the Panama Canal, Mexico and Canada. There is an American tradition that consists of reshaping the world map to suit the US interests and interfering in the affairs of other countries across various continents. • It seems unlikely that Trump sends the army to invade new states for the United States, as some have been saying. What is clear, however, is that the new administration will be proactive in asserting its interests in its dealings with all these countries. #ChinaUS • I believe that disagreements between Washington and Beijing will escalate, and it will be the United States that will intentionally fan these flames. #RussiaChina • For Russia, China has been and will remain a key partner as part of our privileged strategic cooperation. These relations are immune to momentary consideration and will endure regardless of who gets into the Oval Office. #Ukraine • Talks on Ukraine must take place between Russia and the United States without any other Western countries. • The people of Ukraine remain a kindred, brotherly nation with our ties reaching back centuries, no matter what the Kiev propaganda mouthpieces say in their Ukrainisation frenzy. We do care about what is happening in Ukraine. #Moldova • Chisinau must be honest with itself and stop deceiving its people. The Moldovan authorities must recognise their mistakes and get down to mending fences instead of searching for enemies inside the country and in Transnistria. #Europe • We have nothing to discuss with either London or Brussels. For example, EU leadership has long lost the right to speak on behalf of many members including Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, Romania and several other countries which are interested in ensuring stability in Europe and have adopted a balanced position towards Russia.

They use the example of their idols from the Third Reich, who used the most cruel and inhuman torture and methods of extermination. <...> Meanwhile, we are once again seeing that there is no reaction from international human rights organisations. ☝️ We see yet another proof that these institutions have completely deteriorated. <...> They see their main task in serving the interests of Western patrons. #Moldova 🗳 Chisinau launched a massive crackdown against the opposition and independent media and used administrative leverage to pressure them directly, while the US and EU representatives had no qualms about interfering in the election process. Despite all this, the outcome of the election demonstrated that the Moldovan leadership failed in its efforts. The nation firmly spoke out against EU integration, even if the authorities, including Maia Sandu, went to great lengths to sweep these results under the carpet. It is quite obvious that the final results of the referendum, with 50.46 percent of favourable votes and 49.54 percent of votes cast against the proposal, resulted from a last-ditch effort to falsify the final tally. ❗️ Everyone agrees that they were falsified.
