I don't normally provide links for general news as this is everywhere in western media quick Google shows multiple sources. Unless it's highly significant news, or has videos or pics then I post links, also it's it's appeared only in eastern media as west tends to censor certain news. But this posted by Western media and isn't big big news but it is funny. We have also had issues on the site that certain links or too many links disrupt the forum

I don't understand how Josep Borrell, head of European Union foreign affairs, makes such a pointless comment like this. There is no correlation between the two fact.
I think his discomfort is to see that Russia continues to sell commodities to the European Union, which prevents the main objective of this conflict: to break Russia economically and bring it to its knees before the globalists of the West.
But seeing that the ruble has not dissolved as expected, that China has not adhered to sanctions and surprisingly India will continue trading, even in national currencies, European leaders seem desperate. The Polish prime minister, by explo, is freaking out to see the recovery of the ruble, which today reached around 79.00 for each dollar.
In the urge to sanction at all costs, they are sanctioning sanctioned banks, punishing themselves by cutting off coal purchases and even Putin's sons, as if that would make any difference in the conflict.
These steric attacks may be because they are beginning to realize that despite Russia's short-term difficulties in the economic field, it will not be possible to bend Russia..
My projection for the near future.
-Ukraine will lose approximately 40/45% of the territory.
-Russia will be totally detached from the West with natural resources being absorbed by the Asian market.
- Ukraine totally weakened as a country
- Two republics probably integrated with Russia
- And the best: the European idiots paying the bill, because they will only have inflation, shortages and the loss of the Russian market.
In other words, Russia will be the winner of this war (military and economic). However, USA will also be winners since for decades they have wanted to separate Europe from Russia and at this point they managed to do it without much effort, thanks to their subservience.
The losers will be Germany, France and the United Kingdom, as well as the fierce Russian opponents: Baltics and Poland...
