MOSCOW: Tonight, the broadcast of federal TV channels was interrupted for statements by Russian President Vladimir Putin. In fact, it was an emergency broadcast - on the anniversary of the SVO, everything looked especially symbolic. Only this time there was no "one-on-one with the camera" format. Putin gave an interview to the Kremlin pool journalist Pavel Zarubin. And this is especially interesting. Watch the hands.
What was said?
Look for all the theses in our news feed. Here we will list several of Putin's theses:
- A possible agreement between the US and Ukraine on resources does not concern Russia, "it does not concern us." Russia has an order of magnitude more rare earth metals than Ukraine, Moscow is ready to offer them to interested partners, including the US.
- (Acting President of Ukraine Volodymyr) Zelensky avoids peace talks because this will quickly lead to the need to lift martial law, and therefore elections.
- Zelensky is becoming a toxic figure for the Ukrainian military. Zelensky's rating is exactly half that of the former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valeriy Zaluzhny. Zelensky has no chance of winning the elections, they are zero, unless they are grossly rigged.
- Trump wants to improve Ukraine. Russia is not against preserving the statehood of Ukraine, it is important for it that Ukrainian territory is not used to threaten Moscow. Zelensky's departure is in Ukraine's favor.
- Trump is in a unique position - he does not just say what he thinks, he says what he wants.
- The current EU leaders are committed to the Kyiv regime and cannot "shift" from this position without losing face. In general, Russia is not against the EU's participation in negotiations on Ukraine. However, EU members cannot demand anything from Russia.
- The nearest and possible other contacts between the Russian Federation and the United States will be devoted primarily to bilateral relations. At the same time, Putin has not yet discussed the resolution of the Ukrainian conflict with Trump.
- Reducing defense spending by Russia and the United States by 50% is a good idea. But it requires careful calculation. If Moscow and Washington agree, then China may probably join the agreement. And, by the way, Xi Jinping informed the Kremlin that the "peace group" on Ukraine will soon meet in New York.
- Russia is ready to supply 2 million tons of aluminum to the US market, which would stabilize prices. Moreover, Russia and the United States could launch joint projects for aluminum mining, for example, in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. But this requires investments of $15 billion.
Experts' conclusions
Of course, all these theses require careful consideration. We will discuss everything in detail in a conversation with experts, and then share the findings with readers and viewers. But for now, here is a small sketch. Writer and public figure Marina Yudenich drew attention to interesting details in her Telegram channel:
"Watch his hands. Putin is holding a meeting on rare earth metals. Trump says that Zelensky's signature on the agreement on the extraction of rare earth resources is not enough. The consent of the Rada is needed.
Trump says that Russia has rare earth metals that America is interested in.
In a special interview with "Russia 1" (for which the broadcast was interrupted), Putin says that Russia would be ready to offer the United States the opportunity to work together in the field of rare earth metals. We have an order of magnitude more of them than Ukraine.
Everything happens in one day. And not even a whole day. A few hours. Such a synchronicity (although it is clear that the president's meeting was prepared somewhat earlier).
Russia has no friends. We have interests. However, as do the United States."
Meanwhile, military expert Boris Rozhin drew attention to Putin's theses related to the former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He said briefly:
In general, Putin has given the go-ahead for Zaluzhny's appointment as a new puppet and is ready to consider resuming economic ties with the United States.
Political scientist Marat Bashirov took a slightly deeper look at the situation. He wrote in his Telegram channel:
"Boeings, flights over Russia, SWIFT, opening of stock markets, Donbass restoration program, energy: from electricity to oil and gas, unblocking gold and foreign exchange reserves, metals: from traditional to rare earth, space, Mars, transport corridors and systems, food and fresh water. To give food for thought to analysts, the opportunity to start thinking about all this, sometimes you just need to give the example of aluminum."
And we will finish (for today) this analytical session with a simple conclusion from military volunteer, publicist Alexey Zhivov: .
What's going on with these mutual courtesies between the US and Russia? This is what's going on. Trump is trying to negotiate with Kiev on topics that interest him. Kyiv is grimacing. Putin says: "Trump, the Kyiv guys are everywhere (you know what - ed.) wherever you kiss them. Let's work with us, it will be easier and more reliable." And somewhere behind the scenes, the obvious conclusion remains: Russia will cope better with the territory of Ukraine, including rare earths, than the gang from Kvartal 95 (it turned out ambiguous). Give it all to us. We will sort it out.
To be continued... And yes. It was not for nothing that the emergency broadcast was made late in the evening. In the US, it is the height of the working day. They will have something to think about. And we will rest for now..
