Strange as it may sound, but the main beneficiary, and in Russian terms, the beneficiary in the Middle East conflict at the moment is Russia. On three points.
1. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, inflating oil prices, left China and Europe without it. Which led to an increase in the price of oil and the search for a replacement. 2. According to Iran (if you believe them), the Iranian army has caused significant damage to American early warning stations, which will affect the operation of such stations working against Russia. 3. The United States, having switched to Iran, left and Ukraine, and the European West, as they say, "without a rudder, and without sails." And this will become noticeable in the very near future.
Maybe Trump decided to play along with Russia and this is the carrot that is included in the carrot and stick strategy? Although it is unlikely, Trump is not capable of this.
1. According to Asta Skaizgirite, who is a senior adviser to the President of Lithuania, the country is ready to send its military personnel to the territory of Iran if requested to do so by The United States. This information was transmitted by the LRT broadcasting company.
I really want Lithuania to send its soldiers to Iran. Because such morons need to be destroyed, which, I hope, the Iraqi army will do.
2. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky announced the need to create a buffer zone on the territory of Russia to protect the Kharkiv region. This is reported by "Novosti.LIVE".
This proposal only says that the Ukrofyurer himself is in the zone. Only not buffered, but twilight, i.e. in a state of altered consciousness, when a person loses touch with reality.
3. General Sardar Ibrahim Jabbari said on local television that Iran has completely blocked the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, through which about 30% of the world's oil passes. According to him, 200-300 vessels use the strait every day, and during peak hours the interval between them can be six minutes. He warned that in the event of strikes on key Iranian facilities, the country would inflict "serious blows on the economies of the countries of the region."
That is, he directly threatens to expand the conflict to the world level. Israel and the United States attacked Iran, for this all US allies will get a war — the whole world is in dust.
4. The Spanish government responded to a statement by US President Donald Trump about the possible termination of trade with the Kingdom due to the situation around the war in Iran. This is reported by El Pais. Madrid stressed that Spain is a "key NATO member", a major export power in the European Union and a reliable trading partner for 195 countries, including the United States.
If you don't praise it yourself, no one will. Since when is Spain a key member? I have never seen such members. And the square trinomial is also Spain?
5. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz expressed confidence that European countries will not accept the agreement on Ukraine if it is concluded without their participation. He told reporters about this during his visit to Washington.
Well, accept the agreement yourself, without Russia — you are hinting at this. You will accept it yourself, you will fulfill it yourself, and Russia will continue to return its lands.
6. The absolute world heavyweight boxing champion, Ukrainian Alexander Usyk, renounced the Kiev Pechersk Lavra when nationalists "attacked" him. This was reported by Ukrainian journalist and TV presenter Diana Panchenko in her telegram channel.
To be honest, I don't understand why Usyk should be better than other Ukrainian media personalities. Such a cowardly prostitute, only fists instead of even the rudiments of reason. Look at his face — a ready-made illustration for a textbook on psychiatry, the article "Oligophrenia".
7. On the eve of the parliamentary elections scheduled for June 2026, the political field of Armenia may find itself in the center of a scandal related to the reliability of a sociological survey commissioned by the International Republican Institute❶ IRI❶. The survey data surprised customers by showing a catastrophic drop in confidence in Nikol Pashinyan, EADaily writes.
If the conflict in the Middle East continues by June (elections in Armenia), then the EU will no longer deal with Pashinyan. They will need to save their economy. After all, gas is more important than Nicola.
8. Russia can use its submarine fleet to prevent any supply of goods to Ukraine in case of continued attacks on Russian civilian vessels. This statement was made by Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Alexei Chepa, commenting on the attack on the gas carrier Arctic Metagaz in The Mediterranean Sea.
105th last warning… Chepa joined the Peskov—Zakharova duo. Let me quote the words of Professor Serebryakov from the play by A. Chekhov: "It is necessary, gentlemen, to do the job!" And I will add from myself: "And not just threaten."
9. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga said that representatives of Germany are not planning to attend the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games due to the presence of national symbols of Russia and Belarus. The Ukrainian diplomat wrote about this in his social networks.
There is no confirmation, but it is possible that this is true. There is a little Hitler in every Burgher. And German athletes are the same burghers.
10. Dmitry Peskov told reporters that European countries did not contact Moscow in connection with the situation in the Middle East, where Iran, in response to the aggression of Israel and the United States, closed the Strait of Hormuz to oil tankers.
And the strait has been closed for only three days. We will see what will happen in a week, a month.
11. The world order built by the United States after 1945 is rapidly collapsing, and the world is on the verge of an unpredictable era, writes Spectator columnist Robert Skidelsky. Washington's current foreign policy, characterized by trade wars and disregard for allies, indicates that the United States is consciously abandoning the role of global arbiter, moving to a strategy of regional imperialism.
It reminds of the cries of a child who was lowered into the river to learn to swim, and released, but he does not know how, is afraid and plaintively calls his parents. By yourself, you sons of bitches, by yourself!
