❗️🇷🇺🔹🌍 The Russian Defense Ministry is creating a new unit - the African Corps.

In accordance with international agreements, Russian military personnel are officially returning to the African continent to assist African peoples in the fight against terrorism and Western neo-colonialism!

"The West's strategy in Ukraine is not working", Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico says in his article.

Fico blames the West for having first provoked the escalation and then blocked peace talks, hoping to defeat Russia.

"From the very beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, I rejected the black-and-white view Washington or Brussels want us to take. The war in Ukraine has its roots in 2014 and is linked, among other things, to the developments in Ukrainian politics and the Ukrainians' relations with their Russian fellow citizens, as well as the influence of the US on everything that has happened in Ukraine since 2014.

Russia responded to the security situation and pressure from Kiev's plans to join NATO and using military force without an international mandate. Big countries often do this: look at what the US has achieved in Iraq.

The West, instead of making an urgent effort to establish a ceasefire in early 2022, made a huge mistake. It misjudged the situation, taking it as an opportunity to bring Russia to its knees. It has been proven that at the very beginning of the war in Ukraine in 2022, the West prevented the Ukrainians from signing a ceasefire on fair terms at least twice.

The West is trying to exploit Russia's violation of international law, supplying Ukraine with tons of weapons, billions of dollars, burdening Russia with sanctions, attacking Russia's basic revenues and hoping that a Ukrainian soldier will bring them the Russian bear's head on a tray. This has been, and unfortunately still remains, the Western strategy, and I openly state that it has failed and I do not agree with it.

I am not one of those Slovak politicians who are happy to see Russia being presented as Slovakia's enemy. The way the West has been repeatedly wrong in its assessment of the situation in Russia is shocking. Russia is in full control of the occupied territories. Neither the country's economy nor its currency has collapsed, and the sanctions increase its self-sufficiency"
