Everywhere one looks.... Here's some additional "Russian propaganda" for discussion and debate.
"The EU will gradually and effectively stop the import of Russian gas and oil by the end of 2027, under a legislative proposal put forward by the European Commission today. "As to the source of "Russian propaganda" on X --Commission proposes gradual phase-out of Russian gas and oil imports into the EU European Commisson, 16 June 2025.
"These are the areas where economic ties with Russia remain the strongest, for the US and Europe respectively."
The US and Europe are still doing billions of dollars’ worth of business with Russia despite years of war CNN, 14 August 2025.

An interesting assertion. Middlemen everywhere will not be pleased.
As Smedley Butler, United States Marine Corps major general and two-time Medal of Honor recipient, wrote, "war is a racket." For all concerned.
“ This “tactical directive” held true even during the Battle of Sudzha-Korenevo, fought in prewar Russia. Rather than counterattacking aggressively to evict the AFU, the Russians saw the opportunity to kill gigantic numbers of Ukrainians in a trap the enemy wouldn’t be able to extract themselves from for ideological reasons, and they took it. That battle ended up being nine months of hideously lopsided butchery that broke the back of the AFU.”

Some of us followed closely when this war started back in 2014, Ivan slaughtered the Ukies, refraining from gaining territory but instead drawing them in for a massacre…..just as we are witnessing today.
