On the issue of lifting sanctions
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin.

[ColonelCassad] In all discussions about easing sanctions, the most important thing is that the Russian Federation is discussing this issue with the United States, but not with Europe.

The main message is that these are your satellites, you decide this issue with them. Just like the communication on Ukraine is going on without Ukraine. You want to reach agreements, so impose them on the Kiev regime yourself. This is done demonstratively and pointedly.

The hysterics in Europe and Kiev are due to the fact that they understand this state of affairs perfectly well and are trying to get a place at the negotiating table with threats and hysterics, which are actually going on without them.

First, the Russian Federation and the United States agree on something.

Then Russia invites the United States to fulfill its part of the deal, for which the United States needs to bend Europe and Ukraine. The United States has the necessary levers for this.

Using the example of Ukraine, they have already shown everyone what the red lines of the cocaine Fuhrer are. The NATO Secretary General also changed his tune earlier. So, of course, Russia is unlikely to discuss lifting sanctions with the screaming Macron.

If there is an agreement with the US that they will lift some of the sanctions, then it is Trump's problem how he will twist Europe's arms. And if he cannot or does not want to, then the agreements will not work. The coming weeks will show how serious the US assurances are about the desire to change relations.

So far, the Trump administration is limiting itself to statements about revising the sanctions policy. Europe verbally refuses, but continues to increase the purchase of Russian energy resources through third countries.

According to statements by members of the Verkhovna Rada, the agreement on the transfer of Ukrainian mineral resources to the United States:

1. Does not contain security guarantees.

2. Concerns an extended list of Ukrainian resources, including rare earths, oil and gas.

3. Of the five people in the fund's management, three are US citizens.

4. American representatives have veto power.

5. The treaty is effectively indefinite. It cannot be changed without US permission.

6. The US has the right of first night to any infrastructure projects on Ukrainian territory.

7. The US can block the sale of any Ukrainian resources to any other country.

In fact, the US gets everything it wants. As they say, it takes everything, lock, stock and barrel.
