1982 was a banner year for Russian physicist Dr. Edward Lozansky and his wife, Tatiana — they and their daughter, Tania, were finally reunited in December 1982 after a grueling 6-year separation enforced by Soviet leaders. The Lozanskys, who are […]

Ceasefire talks could be a catalyst for advancing cooperation in the Arctic, but the climate crisis should not be forgotten.

The much-heralded Trump-Putin call has not produced a breakthrough in the Ukraine peace process, but it may have advanced it. Russia’s agreement to a 30-day mutual halt to attacks on energy infrastructure is a sign that Putin wishes to negotiate peace (naturally, on terms acceptable to Russia), and is prepared to make a limited but significant concession in order to move the negotiations forward. Trump and Putin have also reportedly agreed on “immediate, technical-level meetings” to start drawing up the details of a comprehensive peace settlement.

This will be short and simple — Donald Trump’s reported threat to expand sanctions on Russia if it does not halt attacks on Ukraine is empty and meaningless. As you will see in the following videos, I am currently in Moscow and participating in some public diplomacy seminars. What I have gleaned as a result of conversations with some well-informed Russian analysts is that the era of the United States being able to bully or coerce Russia is over. Donald Trump now confronts a Russia, with a government, an economy and a military, that does not need a single thing from the United States beyond mutual respect. The Russian people are prepared to live a comfortable, productive life without having to deal with the United States. That is a truth that Donald Trump needs to grasp.

The Expected Trump-Putin Summit – Jonathan Power’s Weekly Column on Foreign Affairs

Feb 20 (Reuters) – Russia could win some relief from U.S. sanctions based on its willingness to negotiate an end to its war in Ukraine, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Bloomberg Television in an interview on Thursday.

What emerges from the dramatic happenings of the past week is that the 3-year chronicle of US-Russia rivalry and the NATO’s proxy war in Ukraine was a crisis engineered with great deliberation by the Anglo-American nexus per a pernicious agenda conceived by the neocon liberals wedded to globalism ensconced in the Washington and London establishment to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia.
