Josep Borrell, the foreign affairs head of the EU, said: “This meeting should be understood as a clear commitment of the European Union to Ukraine and its continuous support in all dimensions.”Waiting in the wings, Russia’s President Vladimir Putin appears to be betting that a prolonged war, a checkmated one, will wear down the West and erode support for Ukraine, giving his country the final victory.The much-vaunted Ukraine’s renewed counter-offensive starting in spring did not meet the expectations of the West and the stalemate continues giving Russia hope.And in the meanwhile, Putin also uses threats of a larger conflagration, including…

According to Putin, the dominance of the American currency has to end, which is already happening, while the US authorities are “shooting themselves in the foot”, RT reported.“The Bretton Woods system — it was once created on the basis of the dollar, but all this is gradually collapsing. Currency is a derivative of the power of the country’s economy, which issues this currency,” the Russian leader pointed out.In addition, the share of the US economy in global GDP is declining, as evidenced by statistical data, Putin emphasized.According to the President, Washington is used to printing money in order to cover…
