05:31 – Ryabkov, after US tanks, it is useless to negotiate
Given that the United States has decided to supply Ukraine with tanks, it is useless to think that we can negotiate not only with Kyiv, but also with its puppeteers. Moscow’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said in an interview with the Russian agency RIA Novosti. Our position on this matter is, I believe, well known even in Washington. We are ready to consider serious initiatives to solve the Ukrainian crisis, but no one has really formulated them yet. Under the current conditions, where Washington has announced its decision to supply tanks and its vassals, including Ottawa, are competing for the number of supplies they can supply, it is pointless to talk not only to the Ukronazis, but also to their puppeteers. Many of them are just caricatures in their ignorance, Ryabkov stressed.
04:43 – Stoltenberg asks Seoul for more military support
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg called on South Korea to increase its military support to Ukraine, recalling that other countries have changed their policy of banning supplies to belligerent states after the Russian invasion. Seoul has signed important contracts to supply tanks, planes and other weapons to NATO member Poland.
Since the beginning of the war, President Yoon Suk-yeol has expressed his support, saying that South Korea’s law against the direct supply of arms to conflict-affected countries is making supplies to Kyiv more difficult, and is limited to providing humanitarian aid for the time being. While meeting South Korea’s Foreign Minister Park Jin in Seoul yesterday, Stoltenberg said North Korea’s support for Russia in the war in Ukraine reinforces the need for the rest of the world to stay connected in a common security effort. I think that in a more unpredictable and uncertain world, it is even more important that countries that believe in freedom and democracy in a rules-based international order stand together – said the NATO Secretary General, according to Yonhap. We are of course concerned about North Korea’s reckless missile testing and nuclear programs. And the war in Ukraine also affects your region. And we also know that North Korea is providing military support to Russia’s war effort with missiles and missiles. And that just underscores how connected we are. During the two-day visit to Seoul, which included a meeting with President Yoon, Stoltenberg stressed the importance attached to the ROK-NATO partnership, which can be mutually beneficial.
2:50 a.m. – Scholz: The war in Ukraine will not become a conflict between Russia and NATO
The war in Ukraine will not become a conflict between Russia and NATO: Chancellor Olaf Scholz emphasized this at the end of a meeting with Chilean President Gabriel Boric during his Latin America mission. We helped prevent an escalation of the conflict that would have serious consequences for the whole world. It would lead, for example, to a war between Russia and NATO countries, but that will not happen: we will do everything in our power to prevent it, we have succeeded so far and will continue to do so. It’s about supporting Ukraine, having a serious debate to make the decisions that need to be made, and this shouldn’t be a race to see who sends the most arms, he added. And he declared that, like his American counterpart Joe Biden, he did not want to send troops to Ukraine, precisely to avoid an escalation. Today, Scholz ruled out sending fighter jets to Ukraine after promising to deliver 14 German-made Leopard 2 tanks instead in the past few days
01:28 – Johnson to BBC, threats from Putin before invading Ukraine
Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson says he was somehow threatened by Russian President Vladimir Putin shortly before the start of the invasion of Ukraine, which began on February 24 last year. In an interview for a BBC documentary, the man who was in Downing Street at the time said the Kremlin chief had told him a minute would be enough for a rocket attack. The threat came during a lengthy phone conversation between the two leaders following a visit by Johnson to Kyiv in early February 2022, the former prime minister recalled, or at a time when Putin denied invading Ukraine despite continued reinforcements of Russia’s military contingents at the Border. Johnson says in that phone call he warned Putin about the risks of sanctions and international isolation in the event of an invasion, and about the grave catastrophe that war would have been. But the Russian president, he recalls, insisted on asking whether Ukraine would join NATO
