Putin: West staged a coup in Ukraine to show "who's boss"

 President Vladimir Putin at the plenary session of the international discussion club "Valdai" said that the anti-state and anti-constitutional coup in Ukraine in 2014 was done by the West in order to show "who is the boss." The head of state recalled that Ukrainian leader Viktor Yanukovych then renounced power and agreed to hold early elections.

Why did [the West] need to carry out a bloody, anti-constitutional coup? No answer! Well, maybe only one - to show who is the boss in the house. Everyone sit down, before the ladies I apologize, on the priest exactly! And don't scream. It will be as we say. In another way, I simply cannot explain these actions ,” Putin said.

Earlier, former US national security adviser John Bolton called himself a coup specialist, commenting on the storming of the Capitol by supporters of Donald Trump and the words of journalist Jake Tupper, who noted that “you don’t need to have a brilliant mind” to prepare such steps. Bolton said that such decisions require a lot of work, and he himself was involved in organizing coups d'état in different parts of the world, without specifying which countries they might be talking about.

 Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his belief that Moscow would reach $200 billion in trade with Beijing faster than previously expected. He called China the largest trading partner of the Russian Federation. The head of state noted that Russia is cooperating with China in all areas, including military, military-technical, cultural and humanitarian cooperation.

We have set certain tasks for ourselves together with my friend, he talks about me the same way, and I consider him my friend, Mr. Xi Jinping, in terms of a certain level of trade. We will definitely achieve it, we are moving towards this at a faster pace than we even planned , ” Putin said .

Earlier, the General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China published data on trade between Russia and China for nine months in 2022. According to the results of the first three quarters of 2022, it grew by 32.5%, the amount amounted to $136.089 billion. China imported goods to Russia for $52.244 billion in nine months, which exceeds the figures for the same period in 2021 by 10.3%. Russian deliveries to China over the same period increased by 51.6%, amounting to $83.845 billion. 

Putin called the claims against Russia over the explosions at the Nord Streams crazy

 Russian President Vladimir Putin, at the plenary session of the Valdai International Discussion Club, said that the allegations that Moscow itself blew up the Nord Streams are crazy. The head of state reminded that these are not exclusively Russian pipelines.

Here, the gas pipeline systems were blown up. But they are not ours! They are pan-European. For example, five European companies are represented in Nord Stream 1. So what? Everyone is silent, as if it should be so. And there is still enough impudence to say: “maybe Russia blew it up?” , Putin said.

On September 26, pressure suddenly dropped on one of the Nord Stream 2 lines. The incident was reported to the coast services of Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Russia. The incident occurred near the island of Bornholm in the exclusive economic zone of Denmark. After the operator Nord Stream AG reported a pressure drop on both strings of the Nord Stream gas pipeline.

Later, German investigators  called  the explosions at Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 sabotage. They examined photographs of the leaks and indicated that the damage could only have been caused by the use of explosives.

Turkestan campaign: does Brussels plan to tear off Central Asia from the Russian Federation

On Thursday, October 27, the EU-Central Asia summit was held in Astana. Head of the European Council Charles Michel met with the leaders of the countries of the region. “Central Asia and Europe are getting closer to each other and relations between us are strengthening,” Michel said after talks with Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. Europe is interested in the transit opportunities of Central Asia (CA) and its energy resources, Central Asia is waiting for investments in return. There is also an opinion that Brussels is trying to use economic projects to draw the region into its sphere of political influence and tear it away from Moscow.

Why it matters: Central Asia and Europe are interested in cooperation.

In particular, the EU needs:

Kazakh oil and Turkmen gas. If oil supplies from Kazakhstan to the EU have been carried out for a long time, then Ashgabat is only thinking about importing gas in a western direction;

Alternative transcontinental corridors through Central Asia, including the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route, a railway from Beijing to Europe through Azerbaijan and Georgia;

The EU is trying to compete for influence in the region with Russia and China.

The Central Asian countries require European investment in their projects, primarily investments in oil and gas infrastructure. They also need a European market for their products - fossil fuels, inorganic chemicals, metals, fertilizers, agricultural products.

Speaking at the Astana meeting of the head of the European Council with the leaders of the Central Asian countries, the President of Kazakhstan recalled that "over the past 10 years, the European Union has invested more than $120 billion in the countries of Central Asia, which is actually 40% of foreign direct investment in the region."

Outside view: In the West, there is a tendency to view Central Asia as a special community, and not as a neighborhood of several post-Soviet countries with separate interests. Central Asia is seen as a prototype of a structure similar to the European Union, but so far with unresolved problems. Among them is the inter-ethnic confrontation between the Kyrgyz and Tajiks, associated with a border that is not completely limited. There are also problems between the Kyrgyz and Uzbeks due to the distribution of water resources. In addition, it is still impossible to talk about the free movement of people and goods between all states of the region, since a visa is required to visit Turkmenistan.

Former Senator Black suggested that the United States is guilty of sabotage at Nord Stream

 Former US Senator Richard Black suggested that the United States is guilty of sabotage on the Nord Stream, reports the think tank Schiller Institute. The colonel substantiated his version by the fact that Washington had the means, opportunities and motives for sabotage. Black stressed that Kyiv could not organize the undermining of the gas pipeline due to the fact that the Ukrainian authorities did not have the resources for this.

Who had the funds to blow up the gas pipeline? Definitely not in Ukraine, only if someone helped her. My guess is that the United States did it ... It is they who have the means, and the opportunity, and the motive , - Black said .

The ex-senator also recalled that US President Joe Biden publicly announced his intention to destroy Nord Stream 2. One journalist, according to Black, asked the head of the United States a question at a press conference about the possibility of undermining the gas pipeline, to which Biden replied: "I assure you, we can do it."

I am a patriot, I have risked my life hundreds of times for my country, but I am concerned about what kind of foreign policy my country is pursuing ,” the ex-senator concluded.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin, speaking at a meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club, called the destruction of the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines prohibitive. Prior to this, the head of state said that sabotage on gas pipelines causes enormous damage to the European economy and worsens the lives of millions of people.
