They say life comes at you fast. A seemingly routine ‘state-of-the-nation’ address by Vladimir Putin unexpectedly turned into one of the most memorable afternoons in recent Russian political history. - Joe Biden's man shows the world why US policy towards Russia has completely failedIt's entirely possible that Joe Biden could be the next US President.

- Kiev's US Embassy pushes Ukrainian propaganda outfit on 'World Press Freedom Day'By promoting the founder of the notorious "StopFake," US diplomats in Ukraine seemed to confuse "World Press Freedom Day" with "April Fool's Day."
- Poroshenko out, Zelensky in: West backed the wrong man in Ukraine & now it’s payback timeKRASNODAR, RUSSIA – Volodymyr Zelensky’s victory in Sunday’s Ukrainian Presidential election marks the moment when the Western populist wave comes to the post-Soviet space.
