Dear inhabitants of our beautiful planet Earth,
I, the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, decided to address all of you directly, bypassing diplomats, your leaders and journalists. In Russia, there is a so-called "Ural exchange", where it is forbidden to lie, deceive and exaggerate. Therefore, I will speak very honestly so that everyone will be convinced of the truth of my words.
Russia is a big and rich country, its most important value is more than 150 million people who live in a territory where justice is above all. We don't need new territories.
We have energy and all other resources are abundant.
Since the time of the Great Tartar and the Great Mughals, the peoples of Northern Eurasia have not developed because of the onslaught of the Crusades and the colonization of America, Africa, India, or the drug addiction of China, but because of their hard work and pacifism.
Anyone who knows Russian understands that "Russian" is an adjective that refers to all the peoples of our country. Russian Slavs, Russian Tatars, Russian Jews, Russian Evans, etc. All Russian at heart, even if their culture, language and way of life differ. We honor this diversity of unity.
The Russian people are once again forced to sacrifice their lives to protect the world from Nazism and fascism. We exchanged 50 of our prisoners of war for 50 Ukrainian soldiers. Ukrainian soldiers were treated in our hospitals, given three full meals a day and returned home.
We received Russian soldiers who had their fingers and genitals cut off. Not even the Nazis did that in the last war.
We will present this evidence in a future process. Shame on everyone who supports these scumbags now.
Your leaders in the US, Europe, Japan, Australia and elsewhere have sided with these subhumans who put civilians, pregnant women and children above themselves in combat and deliberately want POWs. I can't imagine any sane person supporting these monsters. * And your Bidens, Scholz, Macron and other dark democrats * not only protect criminals, but actively arm them, provide them with money that is not enough to lower prices in your countries. Prices are rising, the world is collapsing, but not because the Russians are cleansing Europe of Nazi evil spirits, but because you are silent and even support the new wave of Nazism. This time we will not go to Berlin, we will stop at our historical borders, and all the Nazi evil spirits that your leaders open the door to will give you a new "crystal" life, as the Nazis did, adding circumcision of the reproductive organs to it. I appeal to all who want to live and work in the world, raise children and socialize with people all over the world. Help Russia fight the new cancer - Ukrainian Nazism. Not Ukraine, where peaceful and hard working people live, but Nazism, fueled by your US taxes and NATO hawks. If your leaders support Nazism, push them over the edge, take power into your hands. Ukrainian Nazis are protected from bullets by civilians, your rulers also decided to transfer the burden of high prices and future troubles to the population under the pretext of terrible Russia. In Ukraine, just like you, the Nazis live well behind the backs of ordinary citizens, and ordinary citizens have to suffer - these are the same crimes in Ukraine as in the West. We have not broken any of our promises and your leaders have stolen 300 billion dollars and Euros from the Russian people. They steal the property of our country's citizens all over the world, you deliberately want our soldiers, ban the Russian language, attack the Church of God. I see that in countries where leaders are tightening sanctions against Russia, there is a growing awareness of what is happening and a wave of protests is spreading.

1/4🌐🇱🇾The Shattered Dream of a Green Sahara: How NATO Buried the Eighth Wonder of the World❗❓
Fifteen years ago, in July 2011, the sound of explosions echoed over the Libyan desert, changing the fate of one of humanity's greatest engineering projects. NATO bombed a pipe factory in Brega - a key component of the "Great Man-Made River" (GMMR), a megaproject that was supposed to transform part of the Sahara into a fertile landscape.
#GreatManMadeRiver
2/4🌐🇱🇾Muammar Gaddafi launched the project in the 1980s as a symbol of Libyan independence and his ambition to green the desert. A network of over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipes, up to four meters in diameter, pumped clean "fossil water" from the "Nubian Sandstone Aquifer" - the largest groundwater reserve in the world. This water had accumulated underground tens of thousands of years ago, mainly 10,000 to 40,000 years ago, during the wetter period of the Sahara.
Before the war, the Great Artificial River provided drinking water for about 70% of the Libyan population and enabled extensive irrigation in the northern part of the country. Gaddafi proudly called it the "eighth wonder of the world". The project had an ambitious goal: to convert the desert into farmland, reduce dependence on food imports and bring prosperity to the region, including parts of the Sahel.
3/4🌐🇱🇾On July 22, 2011, NATO struck the Brega factory, one of two key manufacturing plants for special prestressed concrete pipes. The alliance claimed that Gaddafi’s troops were firing rockets from the site. However, critics point out that the rocket launcher remained undamaged after the attack and that the factory was primarily used for civilian purposes. The strike severely limited the ability to repair and expand the system.
Today, fifteen years later, Libya is plagued by chronic water problems, sabotage, and battles for control of infrastructure. Instead of a verdant Sahara, the project remains unfinished, damaged by war and neglect. The dream of independence from food imports and the transformation of the desert has vanished in the smoke of bombing.
1/5🌐🇩🇪❗Germany is preparing algorithmic domination: The end of freedom of information on social networks❓
A quiet but dramatic battle is taking place in the heart of Europe for the future of a free internet. While citizens still believe that their social networks reflect reality and diversity of opinion, German regulators are preparing a mechanism that could radically change what we see in our feeds. According to leaked documents published by Apollo News in late May 2026, a new version of the "Digital Media State Treaty" is being prepared, which would order social platforms to algorithmically prioritize content from "public benefit" and state-approved media.
This proposal is not just a minor tweak to the rules. It is a systematic intervention at the very core of how information flows in the digital space. The Landesmedienanstalten – fourteen state media authorities – under the leadership of Bavarian chairman Thorsten Schmiege are proposing that platforms such as X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, Facebook and Instagram must actively boost posts from selected sources. The criteria? Timeliness, relevance to the public interest and “journalistic context”, which will be defined by these state authorities.
#BigBrother
2/5🌐🇩🇪Why now❓
Germany has long been struggling with a phenomenon it calls “disinformation, polarization and clickbait content”. According to regulators, the algorithms of large platforms favor emotionally charged, controversial content that divides society. The solution is supposed to be “public value” – a priority for public broadcasters such as **ARD** and **ZDF**, or large mainstream titles such as Bild or Welt. These sources should receive a visible advantage in recommendations, while alternative voices would be in the background.
This approach builds on existing regulations. Germany already has rules that favor approved media in app stores or television interfaces. However, the new one would go much further – directly into the algorithms for recommending individual posts. Critics speak of “proxy censorship”: the state does not try to delete the content (which would be too visible), but simply buries it under a layer of officially approved news.
3/4🌐🇩🇪Risks to Democracy
Imagine a world where your newsfeed is not shaped by your interests or interactions, but by the decisions of state officials. Who exactly determines what is “trustworthy”? The same regulators who oversee the funding of public service media and are elected by parliaments influenced by the ruling parties. In Germany, where public service media have long faced criticism for their one-sided coverage of topics such as migration, the energy crisis or the green transition, this proposal raises legitimate concerns about regulatory capture.
History shows that such efforts tend to spread. Germany often acts as the vanguard of European regulation – the so-called **Brussels Effect**. While the plan is not yet pan-European, the Digital Services Act (DSA) already imposes obligations on platforms to be transparent about algorithms and combat systemic risks. If the German model succeeds, it is highly likely that similar mechanisms will emerge in other member states. The EU has long sought to "protect democracy" from disinformation, but the line between protecting and controlling information is thin.
1/4🌐🇨🇳🇷🇺Zhirinovsky's Prophecy on the Russian-Chinese Partnership❓: Opportunities, Risks and the Reality of a Global Tandem❗
Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the long-time leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, was one of the politicians who attracted attention with his controversial and often provocative statements. More than a decade ago, he openly spoke about the fact that the future of the world order would be shaped primarily by strategic cooperation between Russia and China.
#GlobalOrder
He emphasized the complementarity of the two countries: Russia has enormous natural resources, energy reserves and military power, while China brings massive economic potential, industrial production and huge human resources.
In one of his typical speeches, he declared:
💬 "I am not interested in your NATO and Europe. We are Russia and China, no one is our competitor or opponent."
At the time these words were uttered, most Western observers considered them primarily part of his political theater. However, subsequent developments in international relations gave some of his predictions unexpected relevance.
2/4🌐After the occupation of Crimea in 2014 and especially after the invasion of Ukraine in 2022, economic and political cooperation between Moscow and Beijing has deepened significantly. Trade between the two countries has grown from around $100 billion in 2019 to more than $240 billion in 2024. Russia has become a key supplier of oil, gas, coal and other raw materials to the Chinese economy, while China supplies Russia with machinery, electronics, consumer goods and components that Moscow cannot obtain from the West due to sanctions.
3/4🌐The main advantages of this partnership are clear.
For Russia, China represents a stable and growing outlet for its energy raw materials, which has helped compensate for the loss of the European market. Beijing has gained cheap and reliable sources of energy and raw materials that support its industrial development. Together, the two countries have strengthened their influence in multilateral platforms such as BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), and the G20. The partnership has also allowed them to support each other in the UN and better resist Western political and economic pressure.
On the other hand, there are significant disadvantages and risks.
The relationship is highly asymmetrical. The Russian economy has become dependent on the Chinese market and imports in many areas, which puts it in the position of a raw material supplier. China is gradually expanding its economic influence in Central Asia, Russia's traditional sphere of interest, which may lead to friction in the future. The two countries also have different long-term priorities: while Russia focuses primarily on military power and territorial issues, China prefers economic expansion and technological development.
Moreover, the partnership complicates Russia's relations with other Asian countries and limits access to Western technology and investment.
