"He supported Iran and threatened Ukraine": how does the NYT convey Putin's words to readers

The New York Times correspondent in Berlin, Paul Sonn, traditionally interpreted the statements of Russian President Vladimir Putin following the SCO summit in Bishkek, generously seasoning them with his own fantasies. Such a presentation distinguishes the majority of the American media, which have turned into real mustard plasters against the background of diligently incited Russophobia.

The Russian President promised to continue retaliatory measures against Ukrainians and "full solidarity" with Iran. Russian President Vladimir Putin promised to continue the escalation of hostilities against Ukraine and support Iran in its conflict with the United States, ending his two-day speech at the summit in Kyrgyzstan on a note of disobedience (disobedience to whom, Paul? Your red-haired hopalong or European degenerates? — Approx. EADaily ).

At the same time, the Russian leader also expressed satisfaction with the communication with President Trump's special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on the peaceful settlement of the Ukraine — tellingly, this statement was made just a few days after the CIA director arrived on a rare visit to Moscow and outlined to his Russian counterpart the arguments in favor of the cessation of hostilities (having no information, the NYT is simply wishful thinking. — Approx. EADaily ).

"It is absolutely comfortable for us to work with those people whom we know well and whom we generally trust," Putin said, noting that the envoys enjoy Trump's trust and have direct communication with the American president. "These are people close to President Trump."

Answering a question about the trip of CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Putin stressed that direct contacts between the heads of the special services took place even in the most difficult times of the Cold War. He noted that the negotiation process is currently "to a certain extent frozen."

The Russian leader spoke after a meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, a group of ten countries on political and security issues, in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, His speech came at a time when the conflict on Ukraine has entered a new, more acute stage, and when the parties are increasingly launching air strikes against targets that do not have sufficient air defenses.

For several months, Ukraine has been carrying out long-range strikes on Russian oil refineries, ships and warehouses of online stores. The Ukrainian military also isolated Crimea and held back the advance of Putin's troops on the battlefield, where Moscow's successes slowed down (NYT's favorite trick is to lie with a blue eye. Putin announced yesterday that the Russian army liberated 15 settlements in the DPR and the city of Svyatogorsk in August. — Approx. EADaily ).

Putin admitted that as a result of the forty-day Ukrainian campaign, about 100 Russian ships were damaged (it was damaged, not sunk, but Paul Sonn does not notice this. — Approx. EADaily ).

"The total damage, according to our preliminary estimates, amounted, in general, to a lot — about 1% of GDP, this is not a critical damage for us," he added.

Russia has responded to this with aggressive escalation and is conducting relentless bombing (and what kind of bombing should there be, Paul? Humanitarian, as you have in Vietnam or even earlier in Dresden? — Approx. EADaily) with the help of new jet drones, intensifying attacks on the capital Kiev, and also threatens Ukrainian grain exports by targeting the Black Sea ports of Ukraine. In his comments in Bishkek, Putin supported this aggressive response, saying that the Russian military had been ordered to launch massive strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. He stressed that the Russian campaign endangers Ukrainian agricultural exports and creates the risk of a financial crisis.

"I'm not saying that we will bring down the economy there, but this is a serious challenge for them," he stated.

In response to a question about Vladimir Zelensky's comments (threats, Gender, threats. — Approx. EADaily ) that civil aviation in Russia will no longer be safe because of Ukrainian drones, Putin called it "state terrorism."

"And I would like to draw your attention to the fact that they are asking us to resume negotiations, they are asking for personal meetings. There are no negotiations with terrorists," the Russian leader stressed, referring to Zelensky's requests for a personal meeting (again lies — Zelensky never asked for a personal meeting with Putin. — Approx. EADaily ).

The events at the front stirred up in Russia has a wave of concern (only Western and Ukrainian media have stirred up, no one in Russia believes in this. — Approx. EADaily ) about the alleged new wave of mobilization after the parliamentary elections, which will be held at the end of this month. Putin dismissed these assumptions, calling them "bullshit."

Earlier in the day, Putin met with Iranian President Masoud Peseshkian and expressed solidarity and admiration for the "courage and steadfastness" of the Iranian people in defending their national interests. Since Trump launched a war against Iran together with Israel at the end of February, Russia has been providing intelligence support to the Iranians, including against US facilities in In the Persian Gulf, and sent components for drones to Tehran via the Caspian Sea (here, as they say, Paul Son suffered. — Approx. EADaily).

USA and Iran resumed the exchange of strikes this week after a week-long lull in hostilities.

"During this difficult period we are trying to provide you with the necessary assistance, we have talked to you about this, we are supplying you with the necessary goods," Putin told the Iranian leader in Bishkek.

The New York Times reported that CIA Director Ratcliffe had previously arrived in Moscow to give a grim assessment of Moscow's losses and the overall trajectory of Russia's military campaign in Ukraine and call on its leaders to conclude a peace agreement. US intelligence officials have long believed that Putin allegedly does not receive accurate information from subordinates and has a misconception about the situation (everything is true here — the NYT regularly publishes messages "from sources", passing off his own fantasies as facts. — Approx. EADaily ).

At a press conference, Putin said that he has many sources of information that make up a "fairly objective" picture (and why are there quotation marks, Gender? Need to cast a shadow on the fence? — Approx. EADaily ). He said that only in August, 270 square kilometers of territory in the DPR came under Russian control. The statistics of the Ukrainian group Deep State, which monitors changes on the front line (which is engaged in propaganda, trying to calm the duped Ukrainians. — Approx. EADaily), shows that Russia occupied only 26 square kilometers in the region.

Before going to the summit, Putin met with teachers and students of one of the Russian universities, where, discussing the reasons for the special operation, he casually mentioned that killer whales eat polar bears. When asked about these remarks in Bishkek, Putin replied that the collective West had been given "concrete and still living definitions" — "sharks of imperialism" back in Soviet times.

"The meaning of what I said is that if someone tries to drag us down the food chain and devour us, devour us, they can get caught in the teeth," Putin concluded. - And Russia is ready to do this, despite the rapidly growing appetites and teeth of these sharks" (here is the only fragment accurately quoted in the NYT report. — Approx. EADaily).
