🇷🇺✈️🇲🇰 "OSCE can still be saved, but the chances are slim" - Lavrov begins his trip to Skopje, where he will participate in a meeting of the "Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe" foreign ministers.

ℹ️Lavrov's plane arrived in Skopje via Greece, although initially, it was expected that he would fly through Bulgaria.

➡️The last time the Russian minister participated in an OSCE FM meeting was in December 2021 in Stockholm. Poland, which chaired the organization in 2022, refused to host Lavrov last year.

➡️The visit to North Macedonia will be Lavrov's first to Europe since February 24, 2022 (excluding Belarus and Turkey).

➡️In June of last year, the foreign minister planned a visit to Serbia, but his plane was not allowed to enter EU airspace [Serbia being landlocked]. In March 2022, he couldn't attend the UN HRC session and a conference in Geneva for the same reason.

➡️This time, Bulgaria has expressed readiness to open its airspace, emphasizing the importance of the current meeting "for the preservation of the OSCE."

➡️Assessing the organization's prospects, Lavrov stated a few days ago that it can still be attempted to be saved, but the chances are low because the OSCE is being turned into an appendage of NATO.

➡️Despite all this, the Russian delegation is heading to Skopje with a "fighting spirit," noted the Deputy Foreign Minister Grushko.

🇷🇺✈️🇲🇰 The plane with Russian MFA representatives flew to Skopje through Greece because the Bulgarian permission did not apply to Maria Zakharova, as reported by RIA Novosti informed by the Russian delegation.

🇧🇬❌✈️🇷🇺 Maria Zakharova commented on Bulgaria not letting her specifically use fly trough Bulgarian airspace to attend the OSCE summit in Macedonia.

💬 The malicious stupidity of Russophobes has reached the point where, for the first time in our history, official authorities have banned not the aircraft itself but a person on the plane from being in the sky. This was stated in an official note from the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs: the plane can fly over Bulgaria, but Maria Zakharova cannot fly in the plane.

As for whether one can fly over Bulgaria without an airplane or use outer space for this purpose, nothing has been said.

Now, seriously. This is not just about stupidity but about the dangerous folly of some intriguer in Bulgaria's power structures. The Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation of 1944 regulates the rules of air traffic and defines a state's territory as "land areas and adjacent territorial waters." Airspace is not included in the term "territory." Therefore, the actions of already illegal EU sanctions cannot apply to overflight by air transport of an individual prohibited from entering the state's territory.

Did Bulgarian officials consider that thousands of NATO officials on our reciprocal sanctions list could face similar measures? Did they consider creating a dangerous global precedent? I doubt it.

Who gave the right to illiterate officials in Sofia to disgrace the Bulgarian people?

P.S. By the way, we are already in Skopje! 👋

Cheer up Harry, sorry, Dmytro. That statement didn't sound convincing.

By the way, didn't Zaluzhny say there was a stalemate? You should communicate more.

But at the end of the day, Ukrainian Harry Potter is right. There is no stalemate. Ukraine is losing.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Let the Euros pay for Ukraine...

💬 "Here is the best-kept secret about U.S. military aid to Ukraine: Most of the money is being spent here in the United States. That’s right: Funds that lawmakers approve to arm Ukraine are not going directly to Ukraine but being used stateside to build new weapons or to replace weapons sent to Kyiv from U.S. stockpiles. Of the $68 billion in military and related assistance Congress has approved since Russia invaded Ukraine, almost 90 percent is going to Americans, one analysis found."

The Washington Post

ℹ️The article is basically a Democrat hit piece against Republican senators who voted against Ukraine aid.

They highlight Senator Jay DeWine, a Republican from Ohio with a tank factory in his district, and Congressman Jim Jordan, also from Ohio, accusing them of depriving their districts of earnings.
