“Whoever tries to stop us should know that the Russian response will lead you to consequences that you have never experienced before. This threat turns out to be a bluff. The West will supply Ukraine with heavy weapons for a year and will not experience any consequences from Russia at all.

A year later, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation speaks in the words that were addressed to the RF Armed Forces before February 24 – about the accumulation of troops, provocations and preparations for an invasion of Ukraine. Only now instead of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation – the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and instead of Ukraine – Transnistria. We continue to have no doubt that the special operation is going strictly according to plan. Would like to know what’s next on the plan.

Good morning #instead of morning coffee – Exactly one year has passed since the beginning of the “special military operation” (war). – The UN General Assembly adopted an anti-Russian resolution on the “principles of a just peace” in Ukraine. The document calls on Moscow to immediately stop hostilities and withdraw its troops from Ukraine. 141 out of 193 member countries voted in favor of the resolution, 7 voted against. – China has published a document with a position on the political settlement of the crisis in Ukraine. The PRC calls for an end to the imposition of unilateral sanctions, to stop the escalation of the crisis, to resume dialogue between the Russian Federation and Ukraine… and to respect the territorial integrity of all countries. – British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak intends to call on his G7 colleagues to help Ukraine strike at the Russian rear – through the supply of long-range weapons. – The United States has prepared a new package of military assistance to Ukraine for $2 billion, the money will go to the production of new weapons, which confirms that the war is dragging on, the West is ready for this. – Russia and the Taliban agreed to create an investment alliance (poppy industry?). @oreshkins

The year of the war is over, and the sanctions do not end. And although the EU cannot yet agree on the 10th package of sanctions (some members of the union consider them too soft and demand “tin”), other countries have already fired. The UK has added 92 more individuals and entities to the sanctions list. So, the leaders of Rosatom (this is just the beginning, Rosatom will be taken seriously in a year or two) and Rostec, the Almaz-Antey corporation, six companies for the creation and repair of Russian military equipment, aviation and fleet, 20 top managers of Gazprom and Aeroflot, four Russian banks, including MTS Bank, and bankers. Belatedly, the head of the Ministry of Digital Transformation Maksut Shadayev flew under the sanctions, the governor of the arms factory of the Tula region Alexei Dyumin, the deputy mayor of Moscow Maxim Liksutov, the former prime minister Viktor Zubkov, the head of Nord Stream 2 Mattias Warnig, the mother of gymnast Alina Kabaeva Lyubov Kabaeva went with him , son of Dmitry Kozak Alexey. The British have banned the export of all components that Russia has used on the battlefield to date. These are aviation parts, radio equipment and electronic components that can be used by the Russian military-industrial complex, including for the production of drones. Shortly before this, sanctions were introduced by New Zealand. Patriarch Kirill, CEC head Ella Pamfilova, philosopher Alexander Dugin, former business ombudsman Boris Titov, several ministers and deputy prime ministers were hit. And the enterprises of the defense industry – the Kalashnikov concern, the Admiralty Shipyards, the State Rocket Center named after V.P. Makeev, as well as the Skolkovo Foundation, Skoltech and the Sputnik news agency. Australia has announced that it is introducing new sanctions against 90 Russian citizens and 40 organizations. Today, the United States is also due to announce new sanctions against Russian banks and Chinese companies. The new restrictions will focus on preventing the Russian Federation from circumventing sanctions and preventing the import of equipment for the production of weapons. A year has passed, and the sanctions possibilities have not yet been exhausted. Yes, it is already difficult to invent any new restrictions against the Russian Federation that do not cause huge damage to the Western economy. But on the other hand, they can increase the depth of already existing sanctions, covering all new companies and new citizens of the Russian Federation. At such a pace, in a year it will turn out that in order to start a peaceful dialogue, all the federal authorities will have to be changed, because the current leaders will be completely under sanctions and will become persona non grata for the negotiators from the other side.

The fight for positions continues in the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Grigory Moshchik, the chief personnel officer of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, leaves the department. Sources say that Moshchik can become an adviser / assistant to the head of department Viktor Zolotov to the Russian Guard. After him, someone from the power structures, possibly an FSB officer, will be responsible for personnel in the Ministry of Emergency Situations. In parallel, Deputy Minister for Emergency Situations Ilya Denisov is being prepared for resignation. The main explanation is organizational failures in extinguishing forest fires in the summer of 2022. Although this is not only Denisov’s fault, but also another deputy Viktor Yatsutsenko, the Ministry of Natural Resources Alexander Kozlov and the general mess in forestry. True, Denisov’s resignation also has a corruption underlying reason – until 2015, he headed the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations in Moscow, and after the promotion he retained General Sergei Zheltov. He was mired in corruption scandals, his deputies – Zotov and Mishchenko – were caught taking bribes. All this indirectly hit the deputy minister. People from different clans are now applying for vacancies – old Shoigu cadres, representatives of the FSB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Kurenkov’s creatures. For each position there is a bargaining.

The United States published new sanctions – 83 organizations and 22 people were blacklisted by the US Treasury. The US Department of Commerce introduced restrictions against 76 legal entities. The State Department authorized nine members of the Cabinet (Golikova, Kurenkov, Lyubimova, Matytsin, Shadayev, Shulginov), several dozen governors and more than 1,200 Russian military personnel. The banking sector suffered – Moscow Credit Bank, Urasib, MTS Bank, Bank St. Petersburg, Zenit, Lanta Bank, Metallinvestbank, Primorye, SDM-Bank, Ural Bank for Reconstruction and Development fell under blocking sanctions, ” Levoberezhny, also heads of private banking Alfa, Sberbank and Rosbank The Skolkovo technopark and its companies, the Skolkovo and Skoltech funds, Megafon, Veles group companies and a number of companies from China and Belarus fell under the sanctions , the Netherlands, Iran, Canada, France, Luxembourg, suspected of helping the Russian Federation to circumvent sanctions. By a separate decree, Biden introduced a 200% duty on imports of aluminum and aluminum products from Russia from March 10.

Interestingly, the son-in-law of Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, businessman Alexander Udodov, fell under US sanctions. US authorities indicate that Udodov is suspected of money laundering and VAT refund fraud (brother-in-law helped, according to profile). But Udodov was sanctioned for “activities in the sector of management consulting in the economy of the Russian Federation.” A number of companies joined him: Aforra Development, Aforra Engineering, Aforra Property, Arendoff, Mushroom Raduga, Optima Invest, etc. The Americans also found Udodov’s assets in Prague (Avrora Capital SRO), the British Virgin Islands (Leading Capital Investment Ltd) and the Bahamas (Caliber Wealth Management Ltd). The “nationalization of the elites” continues. It is even surprising that the United States is doing the most for this.

Prigozhin is looking for his own. The leader of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, who has broken his teeth about Shoigu and Gerasimov, is trying to choose a weaker victim for himself, on which he could recoup for his failures at the front (the tactics of “meat waves” have exhausted themselves, and more “Wagner” was not marked by anything). He tried to immediately jump on the governor of the Sverdlovsk region, Yevgeny Kuyvashev, and the head of the YaNAO, Dmitry Artyukhov, both are attributed to Sergei Sobyanin’s clientele, the so-called. Tyumen branch. In this attack, Prigozhin tried to enlist the support of his old acquaintance Alexei Dyumin, the head of the Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, and the governor of Kursk, Roman Starovoit. He named their regions among those who allegedly support Wagner PMC. In contrast to the YaNAO and the Sverdlovsk region. “There are regions that frankly crap, and you saw it in the media. For example, in the YaNAO or in the Sverdlovsk region, where local administrations refuse to bury the soldiers who died for the Motherland with honors. Or St. Petersburg, which is unknown on whose side it is fighting, it seems that supports the NATO bloc and Ukraine. It is clear that in a number of regions there is simply uniform lawlessness on the ground.” Artyukhov and Beglov ignored this attack, but Kuyvashev could not resist – the boyish image and semi-criminal past were not allowed to endure. “Lawlessness, Evgeny, is what you poke your nose into regional management and personnel policy. If every businessman who makes money on school meals tries to run the country, we will not go far. You cook cutlets and cook pasta, and we are in the regions we’ll figure it out ourselves.” To this, Prigogine burst into a whole speech: “The country is in a difficult situation, because there are such regional bureaucrats as YOU. During the war of 1941-1945, which is being repeated now, Stalin simply shot people like YOU and Beglov. I think soon we will come to this again. I am sure that the time is not far off when the people will reach the boiling point and raise YOU and people like YOU on their pitchforks. The mobilized, having heard YOUR name, spit in YOUR direction. Any fighter of the PMC “Wagner” who arrived from the Sverdlovsk colony, can manage the region better than YOU. And YOU, like many cowardly bureaucrats, remained sitting in a warm office, spending the benefits of the people who support YOU.” The arguments are ridiculous to say the least. Kuyvashev sits in a warm office just like Alexei Dyumin, beloved by Prigozhin. Neither the first nor the second poke their noses into the NWO zone. And the fact that any Sverdlovsk prisoner will be able to manage the region better than the governor appointed by Putin says a lot about the president’s personnel policy. But the main conclusion in all this ridiculous squabble is different. Prigozhin is rapidly losing political weight. Until recently, he was an odious warboss with almost unlimited resources, human and material, with political prospects. The oligarchs even began to fear him. But six months passed, and Prigozhin was not able to not only eat any of his political opponents, but he was not even able to shake their positions. Things at the front of his PMC are going from bad to worse. Moreover, his recent allies, Kadyrov and Kiriyenko, are distancing themselves from him. As colleagues correctly noted, Prigozhin took Zhirinovsky’s place on the domestic agenda. But not in the sense that he can get a lot of votes in the elections, but in the sense that he creates a lot of noise and shows without any practical results. Turned into a clown, albeit with a sledgehammer.
