by Pepe Escobar exclusive for The Saker Blog Rostislav Ishchenko is arguably the leading international analyst focused on the extraordinarily turbulent Russia-Ukraine relations. He posts regularly on Ukraina.ru, with frequent English translations here.

Small and medium sized business very much rejoiced. But they shouldn’t have… It seemed only from aside that, by discharging the incumbent

It is interesting that this time the actions of Washington aren’t connected to the economy in any way, but bear an exclusively military-political charge… The Central Military Commission of China was hit because of its purchase of 10 Russian Su-35 and equipment for surface-to-air S-400
