In der EU wird es in diesem Jahr zu spürbaren Ernteausfällen kommen, die teilweise selbstverschuldet sind und dazu führen dürften, dass die EU von einem Exporteur von Lebensmitteln zu einem Importeur wird. Das wird zu steigenden Preisen in Europa und zu mehr Hunger in der Welt führen.Ein Kommentar von Thomas Röper.Die Medien werden die Dürre in Europa für die Ernteausfälle verantwortlich machen. Allerdings ist das nur die halbe Wahrheit, denn die Krise der europäischen Nahrungsmittelproduktion hat weit mehr Gründe, die die EU selbst verschuldet hat. Neben der ideologisch bedingten verfehlten Landwirtschaftspolitik sind das auch die Russland-Sanktionen, die gleich mehrfache Wirkung haben.So haben die Preise für Düngemittel 2022/2023 historische Höchststände erreicht und pendelten sich danach auf einem erhöhten, aber stabileren Niveau ein. Der Grund für den Preisanstieg war (und ist), dass Russland und Weißrussland die weltweit führenden Produzenten wichtiger Düngemittel sind und dass deren Düngemittel von der EU sanktioniert wurden, sie in der EU also fehlen. Das führt natürlich zu höheren Lebensmittelpreisen und auch zu steigendem Hunger in anderen Teilen der Welt, weil sich dort nicht jeder die höheren Preise leisten kann.Hinzu kommt die Gaskrise, denn Gas ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil bei der Düngemittelproduktion. Wegen der in der EU seit 2021 explodierten Gaspreise ist die Produktion von Düngemitteln in der EU unrentabel geworden. Auch diese Düngemittel fehlen nun in Europa.Außerdem wirken die westlichen Sanktionen gegen die russischen Banken, die es schwieriger und teurer gemacht haben, russische Lebensmittel und Düngemittel zu kaufen, was den Hunger ebenfalls ansteigen lässt. Gleiches gilt für die westlichen Sanktionen gegen russische Logistikunternehmen oder Sanktionen im Bereich der Versicherungen. Auch diese Sanktionen machen es teurer, Lebensmittel und Düngemittel aus Russland zu kaufen.Da die Nachfrage aber groß ist, haben die Sanktionen weniger Russland geschadet, sondern sie schaden vor allem den ärmsten Ländern, die sich die neuen Preise nicht leisten können.Nun kommt die Dürre in Europa hinzu, die in der EU zu Ernteausfällen führen wird, die so dramatisch sein dürften, dass die EU von einem Exporteur von Lebensmitteln zu einem Importeur wird. Mit anderen Worten: Anstatt Lebensmittel (auch in von Hunger bedrohte Länder) zu exportieren, wird die EU selbst Lebensmittel auf den Weltmärkten aufkaufen, um die Versorgung in Europa sicherzustellen. Das wird auf Kosten der ärmsten Länder gehen, in denen der Hunger weiter wachsen wird.Ein russischer Experte hat die aktuelle Lage in der TASS gut erklärt und ich habe seinen Artikel übersetzt....https://apolut.net/wer-zahlt-fur-die-europaischen-ernteausfalle-von-thomas-roper/“Hier apolut unterstützen: https://apolut.net/unterstuetzen/”

Glenda opens with the mantra of the episode: never hit send while you're angry. It comes out of a TASS coaching call, where an advisor did everything right on a river cruise inquiry (fast turnaround, custom research, a proposal built around what the clients actually wanted) only to find out they'd booked elsewhere. Stung by the loss, she fired off an email listing everything she'd done for them. It didn't land the way she hoped. Glenda unpacks what happened next: how to repair a client relationship after an emotional reaction, why the word "disappointed" does more work than anger ever will, and why the fix isn't about being right, it's about being the adult in the room. Key takeaways: The genie doesn't go back in the bottle. What you do next is what counts. Lead with disappointment about the relationship, not the lost transaction. Clients can feel the difference. No response is required within the hour. Professional services don't work that way, and neither should you. Before you send anything written in anger, run it through a filter: a trusted business bestie, or even AI, asked point-blank, "Does this match my values, and what tone does this actually read in?" Ask what you could've done better. Not all feedback will feel good, but it's the most useful kind you'll get. Don't take the bait from difficult clients. Disengaging is a completely valid response.

E' stato uno degli attacchi più letali in oltre quattro anni di guerra, quello che Kiev ha sferrato nella notte sulla regione del Tatarstan, nella Russia centrale, con un bilancio di almeno 13 morti, tra cui una bambina, e circa 40 feriti. Obiettivo: la raffineria Taneko nella città industriale di Nizhnekamsk. Attacchi incrociati, dunque: Mosca ha risposto con un raid di artiglieria nella regione nord-orientale ucraina di Kharkiv che ha ucciso cinque persone, e con missili su Odessa, che hanno danneggiato edifici residenziali ferendo 14 persone. Risposte russe che arrivano anche a parole, eloquenti quelle del viceministro degli Esteri, Mikhail Galuzin: “A Zelensky non serve la pace. E le sue azioni non ci lasciano altra scelta che la guerra”. Intanto l'agenzia russa Tass riferisce che un aereo di ricognizione della Nato sarebbe stato avvistato per la seconda volta dall'inizio di agosto mentre volava intorno all'exclave russa di Kaliningrad.Ascolta "Notizie dall'Ucraina" ogni giorno su podcast.adnkronos.com e su tutte le piattaforme di streaming.

Die Konflikte in Asien spielen in deutschen Medien kaum eine Rolle, dabei ähneln die Prozesse dort extrem denen, die in Europa zum Krieg in der Ukraine geführt haben: Die USA instrumentalisieren historische Ressentiments mit dem Ziel, sie zu potenziellen Stellvertreterkriegen zu eskalieren, um ihre geopolitischen Gegner zu schwächen.Ein Standpunkt von Thomas Röper.Aus geopolitischer Sicht ist die Genese des Ukraine-Krieges erstaunlich einfach und gradlinig: Die USA wollten ihren Konkurrenten Russland schwächen und haben dazu mit dem Maidan 2014 die Kontrolle über die Ukraine übernommen, indem sie dort ein radikal anti-russisches Regime installiert und aufgerüstet haben, wobei sie darauf geachtet haben, dass die Europäer den Löwenanteil der Kosten tragen. Ab 2021 haben sie die Eskalation provoziert, indem sie für Russland inakzeptable Forderungen wie den NATO-Beitritt der Ukraine forciert und sämtliche Versuche Russlands, darüber zu verhandeln, abgelehnt haben, sodass Russland 2022 vor der Wahl stand, den inakzeptablen NATO-Beitritt der Ukraine und damit US-Raketen 300 Kilometer vor Moskau zu akzeptieren, oder den NATO-Beitritt militärisch zu verhindern.So haben die USA in der Ukraine einen Stellvertreterkrieg geschaffen, in dem die Ukrainer sterben und für den die Europäer bezahlen, während die USA daran verdienen und sich über die erhoffte Schwächung Russlands freuen. Aus Sicht der USA ist es übrigens egal, ob in dem Krieg irgendwann auch Europäer sterben müssen, hauptsache der Krieg bleibt für die USA profitabel und für Russland teuer.Das gleiche Spiel spielen die USA auch in Asien, wo sie Taiwan aufrüsten und sich im Falle eines Krieges Taiwans mit China exakt genauso verhalten werden, wie in der Ukraine. Sie werden die Taiwanesen sterben lassen, sich über die Kosten freuen, die für China entstehen, und sie werden an Waffenlieferungen Milliarden verdienen.In Asien gibt es aber noch einen weiteren Konfliktherd, nämlich die koreanische Halbinsel. Zusammen mit dem Taiwan-Streit ist das tatsächlich ein zusammengehörender Konfliktherd, denn Japan hat sich sowohl dem Schutz Taiwans verschrieben, als auch Ambitionen in Korea und sieht China als Gegner.Die USA nutzen das und befeuern die historischen Ressentiments, die noch aus der japanischen Kolonialzeit herrühren, in der Japan China und Korea brutal unterworfen und ausgebeutet hat. Wie schon in Europa mit dem Ukraine-Konflikt, können die USA auch in Asien bestimmen, wann aus dieser Konfrontation ein heißer Krieg wird, in dem China und Nordkorea den US-Verbündeten gegenüberstehen und in dem die USA sich wieder so verhalten werden, wie schon in der Ukraine und in Europa.Der Nordkorea-Korrespondent der TASS hat in einem Artikel (1) über die letzten Entwicklungen in der Region berichtet und da man solche Artikel in Deutschland kaum zu lesen bekommt, habe ich den Artikel übersetzt....https://apolut.net/die-kriegsgefahr-in-asien-und-die-rolle-der-usa-dabei-von-thomas-roper/

Russland hat in den letzten Tagen die ukrainischen Häfen ausgeschaltet. Derzeit können die ukrainischen Tiefseehäfen keine Schiffe mehr abfertigen. Was sind die Folgen?Ein Standpunkt von Thomas Röper.Da sie damit beschäftigt sind, dem deutschen Publikum Märchen über die angebliche Wende im Ukraine-Krieg zu erzählen, berichten deutsche Medien nicht darüber, dass Russland in den letzten Tagen die Tiefseehäfen der Ukraine de facto ausgeschaltet hat. Beim Versuch der deutschen Medien, dem Publikum eine angebliche militärische Wende im Ukraine-Krieg zu präsentieren, würde die Wahrheit darüber, was derzeit mit den ukrainischen Häfen los ist und welche Folgen das hat, natürlich stören.In Deutschland wird darüber bestenfalls berichtet, wenn die Medien Russland vorwerfen, mit den Angriffen auf ukrainische Häfen den Getreideexport der Ukraine zu behindern, was angeblich die Gefahr einer Hungersnot in Afrika zur Folge hat. Das ist allerdings Unsinn, denn spätestens seit dem Getreideabkommen von 2022 wissen wir, dass das ukrainische Getreide gar nicht an die ärmsten Länder der Welt geht, sondern vor allem nach Europa, China und in die Türkei.Da die deutschen Medien verschweigen, was gerade mit den ukrainischen Tiefseehäfen passiert, übersetze ich hier einen Artikel der TASS über die russischen Angriffe und die Folgen für die Ukraine.BEGINN DER ÜBERSETZUNG:Maritimer Kreislauf: Vor welche Entscheidungen Kiew der Kollaps der Häfen stelltPavel Kucharkin darüber, wie die Europäer die Häfen der Ukraine im Stich lassen und welche Bedrohung das für die Wirtschaft des Landes darstellt.Die Ukraine ist keine Seemacht mehr. Nicht, dass sie mal eine „Herrin der Meere“ gewesen wäre, doch der Juli war für Kiew eine Katastrophe. Der größte Containerreeder, das dänische Unternehmen Maersk, stellte den Betrieb in Tschernomorsk (Oblast Odessa) offiziell ein. Kurz darauf stellte der deutsche Logistikriese Hapag-Lloyd erneut seine maritimen Aktivitäten in der Region ein, und der ukrainische Getreideexporteur Kernel schloss seine Terminals. Der Verkehr entlang des Schwarzmeerkorridors ist praktisch zum Erliegen gekommen...https://apolut.net/warum-russland-die-ukrainischen-hafen-ausgeschaltet-hat-von-thomas-roper/

¿Qué ocurrió realmente en la ciudad soviética de Voronezh en 1989? ¿Fue un simple caso de histeria colectiva o uno de los encuentros OVNI más impactantes de la historia moderna? En este episodio de Clave45, Gerald Dean y David Santiso analizan el famoso incidente que dio la vuelta al mundo cuando la agencia oficial TASS informó del presunto aterrizaje de una nave y la aparición de misteriosos seres gigantes ante decenas de testigos. Un caso que sigue generando debate entre investigadores, escépticos y apasionados del fenómeno OVNI. Además, el programa aborda el esperado "Día de la Revelación", la hipótesis de un anuncio oficial que confirmaría la existencia de inteligencia no humana y pondría fin a décadas de secretismo. ¿Estamos realmente cerca de un cambio histórico o se trata de una nueva narrativa construida alrededor del fenómeno UAP? Un episodio que conecta historia, actualidad y análisis crítico para explorar uno de los mayores enigmas de nuestro tiempo. https://www.edenex.es

Mentre continuano gli attacchi mirati delle forze ucraine a obiettivi strategici come le raffinerie, colpita nella notte quella di Ryazan, nell'omonima regione russa, così come ai centri logistici, obiettivo ancora una volta una sede della Wildberries, l'Amazon russo, il presidente ucraino Volodymir Zelensky porta a casa promesse da Trump sui Patriot, in particolare – questa la sua richiesta – su un "pacchetto invernale" di emergenza con circa 300 intercettori. Tanto che - dopo l'incontro alla Casa Bianca - il presidente ucraino ha incontrato i rappresentanti di Lockheed Martin, l'azienda che produce gli Atacms, gli Himars, gli F-16 e i missili per i sistemi Patriot. Intanto, sempre Zelensky in un'intervista sostiene che “Putin perde 30.000 soldati al mese, sono perdite ingenti, eppure non vuole fermare questa guerra”. Sul fronte russo, il ministero della Difesa riferisce di aver preso il controllo di due centri abitati, nelle regioni ucraine di Sumy e Donetsk. L'agenzia Tass riferisce - citando sue fonti - di un possibile viaggio dell'inviato speciale del presidente degli Stati Uniti Steve Witkoff e del genero del presidente americano, Jared Kushner, Kushner in Russia nelle prossime settimane, anche se al momento - chiarisce la fonte - non ci sono certezze. Infine, Mosca annuncia un mandato di cattura per il capo di Telegram, ritenendolo “complice del terrorismo”.Ascolta "Notizie dall'Ucraina" ogni giorno su podcast.adnkronos.com e su tutte le piattaforme di streaming.

Ist das „De-Risking“, also die wirtschaftliche Abkopplung der EU von China, überhaupt realistisch?Nicht beachtet von den Medien wurde veröffentlicht, was die vom Westen geplante Abkopplung von China wegen der angeblichen Abhängigkeit von Peking tatsächlich kosten würde. Da stellt sich die generelle Frage, wie realistisch diese Ideen sind.Ein Standpunkt von Thomas Röper.In der TASS hat eine Expertin sich aktuelle Berechnungen darüber angeschaut, was die vom Westen geplante Abkopplung von China wegen der angeblichen Abhängigkeit von Peking tatsächlich kosten würde. Das Ergebnis sind astronomische 23,6 Billionen US-Dollar bis 2050, also fast eine Billion US-Dollar pro Jahr, wobei der Löwenanteil auf die EU entfällt.Mit anderen Worten: Wenn die EU diese Pläne umsetzen will, und danach sieht es aus, wird sie sich auf die Suche nach sehr viel zusätzlichem Geld machen müssen. Und das tut sie bereits, denn in Brüssel wird über die Erhebung eigener Steuern durch die EU gesprochen und es werden bereits Pläne ausgearbeitet, wie die EU an die Ersparnisse der Europäer kommen kann, um sie in die gewollten Bahnen zu lenken.Da das Thema hochbrisant ist, habe ich den Artikel aus der TASS übersetzt, denn auch wenn er auf den ersten Blick sehr trocken wirkt, enthält er Sprengstoff, über den die Medien nicht berichten.Beginn der Übersetzung:Scheidung von China: Woher soll Europa das Geld nehmen, das es nicht hat?Xenia Bondarenko, Professorin am Lehrstuhl für Weltwirtschaft der Fakultät für Weltwirtschaft und Politik der Nationalen Forschungsuniversität für Wirtschaft und promovierte Wirtschaftswissenschaftlerin, darüber, ob eine echte Entkopplung von China möglich ist.Als ich die Zahl von 23,6 Billionen US-Dollar zum ersten Mal sah, glaubte ich es nicht, denn sie klang zu sehr nach der abstrakten „Verschuldung der größten Länder der Welt“, die vor zehn Jahren in den Schlagzeilen stand. Aber nein: Genau so viel wird die „Beendigung der Abhängigkeit von China“ in kritischen Sektoren die USA und die europäischen Länder laut Berechnungen der Beratungssparte von EY-Parthenon bis 2050 kosten. Hochgerechnet auf ein Jahr entspricht das zusätzlichen Investitionen von rund 940 Milliarden US-Dollar.Dieser Prozess, die wirtschaftliche Trennung und Unabhängigkeit der Märkte voneinander, wird als Entkopplung (decoupling) bezeichnet....https://apolut.net/china-abkehr-kostet-billionen-von-thomas-roper/

Tucker Carlson has spent the past few days deepening his break with the Republican establishment and sharpening his criticism of President Trump and U.S. foreign policy, while continuing to push content through his independent Tucker Carlson Network and related shows. Bloomberg's recent long-form interview with Carlson, hosted by Mishal Husain, has driven much of the latest conversation: in that exchange, Carlson accuses Trump of betraying “America First,” saying the president has been disloyal to the United States and allowed Israel to drive U.S. policy in the Iran war, language Bloomberg and follow-on coverage describe as a decisive split from a onetime ally. That interview has fed into a wider narrative about Carlson positioning himself as a dissident voice on the right. Responsible Statecraft and other political outlets report that he now openly rejects the Republican Party, saying “I'm out” and that there is no chance he will support it, and instead advocates a third, anti‑war “force” that would unite disaffected conservatives and progressives around skepticism of endless military intervention and high defense spending. Commentators at the Ron Paul Institute and similar circles have amplified those remarks, framing Carlson as a potential figurehead for voters who feel politically homeless and want a more populist, non‑interventionist option. On the media front, the Washington Post, the New York Times, and trade publications like Variety and The Hollywood Reporter highlight that Carlson is continuing to expand his independent operation. They note that he is leaning heavily on long‑form interviews distributed via his subscription site and platforms like X, YouTube, and podcast feeds, featuring discussions on topics such as U.S. surveillance, Christian Zionism, and what he sees as the decay of the American middle class. Media-business reporting indicates his direct‑to‑audience model has become a sustainable niche, often cited as an example of how star hosts can leave cable and still maintain significant influence. Recent interviews have also fueled debate over Carlson's warnings that the United States risks a “popular revolution” if economic decline and public distrust continue, comments carried by outlets such as WION and TASS and criticized by some mainstream commentators as alarmist while praised by populist conservatives as telling uncomfortable truths. Progressive media continue to portray him as a radicalizing force, pointing to his rhetoric on Israel, Iran, and U.S. elites, while some anti‑war conservatives and libertarians argue his break with Trump and the GOP could reconfigure parts of the right. Legally and professionally, there have been no major new court developments from his Fox News departure in the past few days; legal trade reports suggest most immediate disputes over his old contract have gone quiet, even as his move remains a case study in the evolving power of individual media brands.

Die Türkei und Israel „balancieren am Rande eines militärischen Zusammenstoßes“.Der Konflikt zwischen der Türkei und Israel eskaliert. Die Türkei hat Interpol nun sogar angewiesen, eine internationale Fahndung gegen den israelischen Premierminister Benjamin Netanjahu auszustellen. Worum geht es im Streit zwischen den Ländern?Ein Standpunkt von Thomas Röper.Der eskalierende Konflikt zwischen der Türkei und Israel spielt in deutschen Medien kaum eine Rolle, obwohl er den Westen im Extremfall in eine sehr schwierige Lage bringen kann, denn sollte es beispielsweise in Syrien zu einem militärischen Zusammenstoß zwischen den beiden Ländern kommen, müsste der Westen sich möglicherweise entscheiden, ob er dem NATO-Partner Türkei oder Israel beisteht.In der TASS ist ein Artikel erschienen, der den Konflikt ein wenig beleuchtet und die letzten Entwicklungen schildert, und ich habe den Artikel übersetzt.Beginn der Übersetzung:Ankaras Angriff über Interpol: Was wird aus Netanjahu, der auf der Fahndungsliste steht?Alexej Martynow erklärt, wozu die Türkei Israel geopolitisch isoliert.Das 11. Istanbuler Strafgericht hat Interpol angewiesen, eine internationale Fahndung („Red Notice“) gegen den israelischen Premierminister Benjamin Netanjahu auszustellen. Die Entscheidung ist Teil von Ankaras systematischer Strategie, Israel mit juristischen, diplomatischen, militärischen und wirtschaftlichen Mitteln zu delegitimieren. Ankara versucht, Jerusalem aus der regionalen Machtarchitektur zu verdrängen und nutzt dabei – so absurd es auch klingen mag – Washingtons vermeintliche diplomatische Unterstützung sowie seine eigene militärische Stärkung innerhalb der NATO.Die Global Sumud Flotill als AuslöserDer Grund für die aktuelle Eskalation waren die Ereignisse in der zweiten Jahreshälfte 2025. Ende August stach die Global Sumud Flotill (GSF), ein Konvoi von über 40 Schiffen mit fast 500 pro-palästinensischen Aktivisten, von spanischen und italienischen Häfen aus in See, um humanitäre Hilfe nach Gaza zu bringen. Am 1. und 2. Oktober fing die israelische Marine die Flottille im Mittelmeer ab, woraufhin die Aktivisten nach Europa abgeschoben wurden. Das türkische Außenministerium stufte das Abfangen umgehend als „Terrorakt in internationalen Gewässern“ ein. Die Anwesenheit mehrerer türkischer Staatsbürger in der Flottille gab Ankara die formale Rechtsgrundlage für die Einleitung eines Strafverfahrens.Im November erließ die Istanbuler Staatsanwaltschaft Haftbefehle gegen Netanjahu und 36 israelische Beamte wegen „Völkermords und Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit“. Im April 2026 bestätigte ein Istanbuler Gericht die Anklage und forderte lebenslange Haftstrafen für den israelischen Premierminister und 34 israelische Staatsbürger. Den letzten Schritt bildete die Entscheidung des Obersten Istanbuler Strafgerichts vom 14. Juli, Interpol um die Ausstellung der erwähnten „Red Notice“ zur sofortigen Festnahme Netanjahus zu ersuchen.Dabei muss man anmerken, dass weder Israel noch die USA auf Bitte von Interpol ausliefern. Zwischen der Türkei und Israel besteht derzeit kein bilaterales Abkommen über die gegenseitige Koordinierung in Strafsachen und die Vollstreckung von Gerichtsurteilen.Die türkischen Richter sparten angesichts der ohnehin schon angespannten Beziehungen zwischen den beiden Ländern nicht mit scharfen Worten. Sie verwendeten unter anderem „Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit“, „Völkermord“, „rechtswidrige Inhaftierung“, „grausame Behandlung von Gefangenen“, „vorsätzliche Gesundheitsschädigung“, „Raub“ und „Piraterie mit Einschränkung der Bewegungsfreiheit“....https://apolut.net/erdogan-fordert-netanjahu-heraus-von-thomas-roper/

Silicon Bites Ep352 | 2026-06-16 | Fifteen kilometres from the Kremlin: thirty-six hours after the Pechersk Lavra burned, Ukraine hits the heart of Moscow's fuel economy, striking a vast oil refinery that services the imperial capital. Breaking: 16 June 2026 — coordinated Ukrainian strike on Moscow oil refinery in the Kapotnya district damages the ELOU avt-6 primary distillation unit; 500-kilometre range; all four major Moscow airports forced to suspend operations; about 60 drones intercepted in what TASS calls one of the largest barrages on the capital all year; Zelensky confirms the strike on his way to the G7; the response to the Lavra strike was always going to come — and the timing is perfect.

El 27 de septiembre de 1989, en plena Unión Soviética, un suceso insólito sacudió la ciudad de Vorónezh y dio la vuelta al mundo. Un grupo de niños, que jugaba en un parque, aseguró haber visto una esfera luminosa descender del cielo ante decenas de testigos. Según los testimonios, el objeto cambió de forma antes de posarse y de su interior salieron varias entidades de gran tamaño. Describieron a uno de los seres como una figura de casi tres metros de altura, con tres ojos y vestimenta metálica. La noticia fue difundida por la agencia oficial soviética TASS, lo que convirtió el caso en uno de los episodios OVNI más mediáticos. Pero ¿qué pasó realmente? Para desgranar este extraño episodio recibimos al escritor Javier Sierra; Pablo Vergel, sociólogo y editor; a nuestro compañero Pablo Villarrubia que investigó sobre el terreno el caso y Maury González, autor de El secreto de Vorónezh.

President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed on Wednesday to further extend the China-Russia Treaty of Good-Neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation, while pledging to further strengthen political mutual trust, strategic coordination and practical cooperation between the two countries amid a fluid and turbulent international situation.The agreement was reached during talks between the two heads of state at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, before Putin concluded his two-day state visit to China.After their talks earlier on Wednesday, the two presidents signed a joint statement on further enhancing the comprehensive strategic coordination and deepening good-neighborliness and friendly cooperation between the two countries. They witnessed the signing of 20 cooperation docu­ments in areas including the economy and trade, education, and science and technology.The two sides also issued a joint statement on advocating a multipolar world and a new type of international relations, and reached 20 cooperation agreements in other areas.When addressing the media together after their talks, Xi said this was Putin's 25th trip to China since he first assumed the presidential office in Russia in 2000, which fully demonstrates the high level and uniqueness of China-Russia relations.Noting that this year marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the China-Russia strategic partnership of coordination, Xi said that over the past three decades, bilateral ties have reached the highest level in history as a comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for a new era, setting an example for a new type of major-country relations.This year also marks the 25th anniversary of the signing of the China-Russia Treaty of Good-Neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation. The treaty was last extended on June 28, 2021, when Xi and Putin held talks via video link and issued a joint statement ahead of the 20th anniversary of its signing.Xi said that over the years, the two countries have always abided by the treaty's established principle of non-alliance, nonconfrontation and not targeting any third party, while upholding equality, mutual respect, good faith and win-win cooperation.The two countries have made important contributions to safeguarding international fairness and justice and promoting a new type of international relations, serving as a vital constant amid changes unseen in a century, he said.Xi called on China and Russia to build on past achievements and further support each other firmly on issues concerning their respective core interests and major concerns, maintain close strategic communication and exchanges at all levels, and continuously consolidate the foundation of political mutual trust between the two countries.In recent years, cooperation between China and Russia in various fields has advanced steadily and achieved many positive results. The value of bilateral trade has exceeded $200 billion for three consecutive years, and in the first four months of 2026, two-way trade increased nearly 20 percent, according to customs data.Xi said the two sides should build on this momentum, deepen the alignment between China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) and Russia's development strategy through 2030, and upgrade mutually beneficial cooperation in various fields to better serve the development and revitalization of both countries.Speaking about global governance, Xi noted that the world today is far from being peaceful, with unilateralism and hegemonism causing severe harm, adding that the world is facing the danger of returning to the law of the jungle.As permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, China and Russia should firmly fulfill their responsibilities as major countries, uphold the authority of the UN as well as international fairness and justice, and oppose all acts of unilateral bullying and attempts to reverse the course of history, he said.China and Russia should, in particular, oppose all provocative acts that deny the outcomes of World War II and seek to justify and revive fascism and militarism, Xi said, emphasizing that the two sides should jointly promote the building of a more just and equitable global governance system.Putin, who received a welcoming ceremony that featured a 21-gun salute, quoted the Chinese saying that "one day apart feels like three autumns" when meeting with Xi, whom he described as his "dear friend"."Russia-China relations have reached a truly unprecedented level, and continue to develop. At the same time, our relations are self-sufficient; they do not depend on the current international situation and can serve as an example of relations between nations in this age," he said when addressing the media.He said that Russia is full of confidence in the future of bilateral relations, adding that it will work with China to deepen the two countries' partnership and good-neighborly friendship, strengthen people-to-people bonds, and contribute to the development and revitalization of both countries and the well-being of their peoples."Moscow and Beijing will jointly uphold international law and the provisions of the UN Charter in their entirety ... and cooperate effectively within the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, BRICS and other international structures, making a significant contribution to addressing pressing global and regional challenges," Putin said.During their talks on Wednesday, Xi said the China-Russia relationship has entered a new stage of greater achievements and faster development.Unswervingly promoting the long-term, sound, steady and high-quality development of the China-Russia relationship is a strategic choice made by the two sides based on the fundamental interests of the two countries and the global trends, he said.Xi called on China and Russia to fully implement the important common understandings reached between him and Putin, seize the historic opportunities and further promote the mutual trust, cooperation and friendship between the two countries.He emphasized that both sides should focus on the goals of national development and revitalization, fully leverage the comprehensive and well-established mechanisms of China-Russia cooperation and strengthen the overall planning for cooperation in all respects.The two countries should also promote the upgrading of practical cooperation in trade and investment, energy and resources, transportation, and sci-tech innovation, as well as actively explore cooperation in frontier areas, in order to create new engines for growth with new quality productive forces, Xi said.He added that efforts should be made to continue the long-standing friendship between the two sides, strengthen exchanges and cooperation in education, culture, film, tourism and sports, and consolidate the social and public support for bilateral friendship.Also on Wednesday, China announced that it has decided to extend its visa-free policy for Russia until Dec 31, 2027. According to TASS news agency, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said in Beijing that Russia will also extend its visa-free policy for Chinese citizens.During their talks, the two heads of state exchanged views on major international and regional issues, including the situation in the Middle East.Xi emphasized that all hostilities in the Middle East must end immediately, renewed fighting should be avoided and, most important, negotiations should continue.Noting that the situation in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf region is at a critical juncture between war and peace, he said that an early end to the conflict will help reduce disruptions to the stability of energy supplies, the functioning of industrial and supply chains, and the stability of the international trade order.On Wednesday evening, Xi held a welcoming banquet for Putin in the Golden Hall of the Great Hall of the People.

Thirty-eight-year-old construction engineer Peng Pai sent a lighthearted message to Russian President Vladimir Putin ahead of an upcoming reunion, the plans for which were reported by Russia's TASS news agency. Putin arrived in Beijing on Tuesday night for a state visit.38岁的建筑工程师彭湃在即将与俄罗斯总统普京重逢前夕，向他发出了一条轻松幽默的问候，俄罗斯塔斯社此前报道了两人见面的安排。普京于5月19日晚间抵京，开始对中国进行国事访问。"Dear President Putin, you still look the same," Peng said in an interview with Russia Today. "But I have changed from a little boy into a middle-aged man with a bigger belly."彭湃在接受“今日俄罗斯”电视台采访时说：“尊敬的普京总统，您还是老样子。而我已经从一个小男孩变成了一个肚子有些发福的中年男人。”In the summer of 2000, Peng and his family visited the Chinese capital from Hunan province. On July 19, while sitting on the stone balustrades along the lake in Beihai Park, a "foreign uncle" approached him from the crowd, lifted him up, and kissed his forehead.2000年夏天，彭湃和家人从湖南来到北京旅游。7月19日，他正坐在北海公园湖边的石栏杆上，一位“外国叔叔”从人群中走来，将他抱起，亲吻了他的额头。It was Putin. During his first official visit to China as the Russian president, Putin made an unplanned trip to the park. After boating on the lake, he greeted the boy by the lakeside and took a picture with him.那个人正是普京。当时，普京首次以俄罗斯总统身份对中国进行正式访问期间，临时决定前往北海公园。泛舟湖上之后，他在岸边向这个小男孩打招呼，并与他合影留念。"It was a completely spontaneous moment," Peng recalled. "In my memory, he was just a kind, gentle uncle."“那完全是瞬间发生的事，”彭湃回忆道。“在我的记忆里，他就是一个和蔼可亲的叔叔。”At the age of 12, Peng didn't fully grasp the meaning of the encounter, but he never forgot it. "This special experience made me more curious about President Putin and his country," he said.12岁的彭湃当时并未完全理解这次相遇的意义，但他从未忘记。“这段特殊的经历让我对普京总统和他的国家更加好奇，”他说。That curiosity eventually took him across continents. After finishing high school, Peng decided to learn more about Russia by applying to one of its universities. From 2007 to 2013, he studied bridge and tunnel engineering at the Moscow Automobile and Road Construction State Technical University, earning bachelor's and master's degrees.这份好奇心最终让他远渡重洋。高中毕业后，彭湃决定申请俄罗斯的大学，以便更深入地了解这个国家。2007年至2013年，他在莫斯科汽车公路国立技术大学学习桥梁与隧道工程，先后获得学士和硕士学位。"During the seven years in Moscow, I gained a deeper understanding of Russia's vast territory, its rich history, and culture," Peng said.“在莫斯科的七年里，我对俄罗斯广袤的国土、悠久的历史和丰富的文化有了更深的了解，”彭湃说。The Russian teachers and fellow students he met along the way left a lasting impression. "They were very kind to international students," he recalled.他所遇到的俄罗斯老师和同学都给他留下了深刻印象。“他们对外国留学生非常友善，”他回忆道。After graduation, Peng returned home and joined Hunan Construction Investment Group, a State-owned enterprise based in Changsha, with projects in more than 60 countries. Although he has not returned to Russia, he continues to follow China-Russia bilateral relations with interest.毕业后，彭湃回国进入总部位于长沙的国有企业湖南建设投资集团，该集团业务遍及60多个国家。尽管他未曾重返俄罗斯，但他始终饶有兴趣地关注着中俄双边关系。"High-level exchanges between the two sides have been frequent in recent years," he said, "and interactions are active in many fields, including at the grassroots and online levels."“近年来，双方高层往来频繁，基层及网络平台等各领域的互动也十分活跃，”他说。As a bridge engineer, he hopes to see more infrastructure cooperation between the two countries. "Both sides have strengths that can complement each other for mutual benefit."作为一名桥梁工程师，他希望看到两国在基础设施领域开展更多合作。“双方各有优势，可以实现优势互补、互利共赢。”Now a father of two young children, Peng hopes to take his family to Moscow one day to walk through his old university campus and share with his children everything he knows about the country and its people.如今，已是两个孩子父亲的彭湃，希望有朝一日带家人重返莫斯科，漫步母校校园，将自己对这个国家和人民的所知所感一一告诉孩子们。lighthearted /ˌlaɪtˈhɑːtɪd/轻松幽默的，愉快的vast territory /vɑːst ˈterɪtəri/广袤的领土bilateral relations /baɪˈlætərəl rɪˈleɪʃənz/双边关系grassroots /ˈɡrɑːsruːts/基层的，民间的complement each other /ˈkɒmplɪment iːtʃ ˈʌðə/优势互补

Silicon Bites Ep337 | 2026-05-12 | Assets or idiots? Delusional or disingenuous. Politics as usual, or treacherous behaviour? Do they work for the Kremlin or for themselves? Iuliia Mendel's 96 Minutes with Tucker Carlson and the question that decides what they are, and whose interests they work for. 11–12 May 2026 — The Day After Mendel's Interview Drops — and the Day Russia's Propaganda Machine Lights It Up. We now have Yermak's arrest, the Carlson interview and now some Ukrainian biolabs nonsense investigation being launched in the U.S. Are these things possibly connected? We'll explore that in another episode tomorrow. For now, let's turn to two figures that give a very convincing impression of acting as Russia assets.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.

2026-05-11 | UPDATES #199 | While Zelenskyy was signing satirical decrees, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and his ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova were performing the other half of the regime's choreography: the threat.The Russian Foreign Ministry, captured by Pravda EN, RFE/RL, the Washington Times, and TASS, issued what RFE/RL called "a belligerent warning to Kyiv, and diplomatic missions there" — threatening to "attack the Ukrainian capital if Ukraine did in fact disrupt the May 9 events." The Foreign Ministry advised foreign embassies and international organisations located in Kyiv to evacuate their offices in case of such a strike. The Defence Ministry urged civilians to evacuate as well. Moscow is a thug and a bully, and these threats are completely in character. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

Josh and TASS are joined by guest Alex Day for a packed episode of The Alex Day Show, diving into both the NFL and MLB with a mix of analysis and debate. The show opens with a full breakdown of all eight NFL divisions following the draft, as Josh ranks each division from worst to best and evaluates how the offseason reshaped the league. The conversation then shifts to baseball, where the crew debates which Yankee is most critical to the team's success in a Sports Scantron segment, followed by a True or False discussion centered on Mike Trout. Things heat up with a massive three-team trade scenario involving the Yankees, Angels, and Reds, as they argue over who would hang up first in a potential Trout deal. The episode also features a New York-focused edition of Way or No Way, tackling big questions about the futures of the Yankees, Mets, Jets, Giants, and Knicks, including whether a Giannis move could be in play. Later, TASS leads a “Who Would You Rather Have Going Forward” segment centered on Ben Rice, comparing him to some of the top young talent across baseball. The show wraps with a creative Sports Lunchbox hypothetical involving an Aaron Judge trade to Detroit and a Real or Fake game testing knowledge of Kentucky Derby horse names.

Silicon Bites Ep317 | 2026-04-15 | Russia's gold reserves are going, going, gone. The kremlin starts eating its war chest. For the first time in nearly a quarter century, Vladimir Putin is selling Russia's gold. Not lending it. Not shuffling it from one Kremlin pocket to another. Selling it. On the open market. To pay for a war he cannot win and cannot stop.Here is what just happened, confirmed by The Moscow Times on March 24th and corroborated by the World Gold Council, Euromaidan Press, and Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service. In January, the Central Bank of Russia liquidated 300,000 troy ounces of physical gold. In February, another 200,000. Roughly fourteen metric tons in two months — the largest bullion drawdown since the second quarter of 2002. Russia's total gold reserves have collapsed to 74.3 million ounces, the lowest level since March 2022 — the month the full-scale invasion began.And the bigger picture is uglier still. According to Russia's own Ministry of Finance data reviewed by The Moscow Times, the gold held in the National Wealth Fund — the sovereign rainy-day pot — has been slashed by 71 percent since May 2022. From 554.9 tons down to roughly 160. Three quarters of the war chest. Gone.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------SOURCES:The Moscow Times, "Russia's Gold Sales Hit Highest Level Since 2002 as Budget Pressures Mount," March 23, 2026United24 Media, "Russian Central Bank Drains Gold For the First Time Since 2002 as War Deficit Mounts," March 2026 United24 Media, "Russia Liquidates 71% of Its Gold Reserves to Finance War Effort," January 21, 2026 Euromaidan Press, "Gold down 27%, Urals up 71% — Russia's sanctions hedge melts as its oil budget fills," March 24, 2026 UAWire, "Russia sells gold reserves for first time in 25 years to cover budget deficit," March 2026 NV / The New Voice of Ukraine, "Russia sells gold reserves for first time in 25 years to cover budget gap," March 2026The Gold Forecast / Kitco News, "Russian restrictions on gold could exacerbate selloff," March 25, 2026 Arabic Trader, "Russia bans the export of heavy gold bars starting from this date" (Putin decree, TASS), March 2026 ----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.

Day 1,476.Today, as US envoy Steve Witkoff says “we can take them at their word” after Russia denies sharing intelligence about American forces with Iran – before adding “let's hope they're not sharing” – we examine the latest tensions between Washington, Moscow and Tehran. We also analyse a Ukrainian deep-strike operation that raised fresh questions about Russian air defences after a loitering drone was able to film the attack. Then we bring updates on Ukrainian counterattacks in the south, where two operations now appear to have pushed around 10 kilometres into Russian lines, and hear a final dispatch from Adélie in Ukraine. Later, we speak to former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen.Contributors:Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Adelie Pojzman-Pontay (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @Adeliepjz on X.With thanks to former NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen and Roland Oliphant.NOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.
