“On the other hand, the sadistic nature of this decision is, of course, shocking. I have a great deal of psychological work ahead of me to process and come to terms with my own feelings about this. After all, Latvia is a place I genuinely loved and considered home. And, naturally, I would like to be of service to Latvia. I pose no threat to this country.
I believe the threat to Latvia comes from those who alienate people like me, commit unlawful acts, engage in extrajudicial political repression, and harshly punish individuals for their honest views—for attempting an intellectually honest analysis of the political situation and the military conflict.”

For the first time, next Tuesday I'll be presenting at a webinar in Russian on one of my favorite topics: Latin America in global politics. Here's the link to register: forms.gle/CRiFDKqv1xD6kdki8
Lenin and Stalin are surprisingly common names in countries like Ecuador and Colombia. But Hitler Mussolini? That’s just too much, even by those standards😅

Diplomatic flurry in #Turkmenistan as it hosts the first real C6 (#CentralAsia and #Azerbaijan) summit, a CIS summit and a meeting of Caspian littoral states leaders, all taking place in the purpose-built Avaza resort on the Caspian

Peskov: "The Indian side has indeed expressed its willingness to do its part to help resolve the situation in Ukraine. We are grateful to our Indian friends for their willingness to cooperate and for the ideas they have shared."
However, on October 5, Russian FM Lavrov stated that a return to a moratorium on strikes against ships—similar to the one in place under the previous grain deal—was impossible.
On October 2, UKR FM reported that Ukraine had received ceasefire proposals from India, Egypt, Turkey, and the United States, calling the Indian proposal “the most comprehensive.”
#India has proposed a three-point ceasefire plan for 🇷🇺 and 🇺🇦:
1️⃣ End attacks on energy and other infrastructure
2️⃣ Ensure unhindered movement of grain and energy through Black Sea ports
3️⃣ Refrain from attacking merchant ships in the Black Sea

I warmly congratulate Prime Minister @narendramodi on the remarkable milestone of 25 years as Head of Government.
Under his strong and wise leadership, India continues to advance its sustainable development, scientific and technological progress, while further strengthening its role on the global stage.
I highly value the close ties and strategic partnership between Kazakhstan and India. I am confident that through our joint efforts, we will elevate the Kazakh-Indian partnership to new heights.

Kazakhstan is weighing a second major oil export route as it looks to diversify shipments, reduce reliance on existing corridors, and strengthen the resilience of its energy exports. Read more from @RobertMCutler

Леонид, шлю вам поддержку и пожелания самого положительного для вас исхода этой ситуации! Сил, стойкости и уверенности вам! 💪🍀🙌
Die Wahlergebnisse lassen bisher keine Mehrheit erkennen. Sie zeigen eher, dass die Mehrheit dagegen ist.

Seewege werden unsicherer, Landrouten wichtiger. #Kasachstan könnte zum strategischen Knotenpunkt zwischen #Europa und #Asien werden.

Kazakh President Tokayev on Putin:
I have very good relations with President Putin. I consider him, one might say, an outstanding statesman.
And today I said with considerable conviction that President Putin, as a statesman and as the leader of Russia, is the most acceptable political figure — strange as this may sound to you — for Central Asia, including Kazakhstan, in my view, and for Europe and for the whole world.
I know him very well, and he possesses the qualities most necessary for the leader of a large state with a complicated history and its own understanding of the strategic goals facing that country.

Kazakh President Tokayev on Russia-Ukraine:
Whatever happens on the territory of Ukraine, we will always remember that both Russia and Ukraine are our good friends.
As far as Russia is concerned, we must not forget that Kazakhstan and Russia share a common border of 7,597 kilometers — the longest border in the world. Is that not a factor in developing friendly relations with this country?
There are 2.7 million citizens of Russian ethnicity living in Kazakhstan. The Orthodox Church and Orthodox Christianity are represented on a significant scale in our country, and we treat them with great respect.
All these circumstances must be taken into account. You cannot act rashly.
Mein neuer Beitrag anlässlich des Besuchs des Präsidenten Kasachstans in Deutschland. Fürs @IPGJournal
„Der Besuch Tokajews in Deutschland ist eine weitere Gelegenheit, die strategische Partnerschaft zwischen Deutschland und Zentralasien auszubauen. Für Deutschland und Kasachstan geht es längst nicht mehr nur um Energie, Rohstoffe und Handel. Entscheidend ist vielmehr, wie beide Mittelmächte ihre komplementären Potenziale einsetzen, um auf die Herausforderungen einer sich wandelnden internationalen Ordnung zu reagieren und die daraus entstehenden Chancen zu erschließen.“

Armchair speculations that Putin has supposedly lost Ukraine for Russia forever ignore the basic facts outlined in this article.
Also, an EU that is politically disintegrating, becoming more authoritarian and more right-wing, and struggling with growing economic problems, is losing the power of attraction it once had. It isn't even interested in Ukraine's proper integration to begin with. And Ukraine will need external help for many decades after the war ends.

Das widerspricht sich doch: Erst Diplomatie loben, dann die, die das seit Langem fordern, zum Verstummen bringen wollen. Ein Diplomat sollte kritischen Stimmen respektvoll zuhören, nicht sie mundtot machen wollen. Und noch dazu so herablassend.

Africa still has no permanent seat on the Security Council.
A 21st century Security Council without permanent African representation is unjust & indefensible.
We must reform the Council so that it reflects today’s world with the legitimacy and effectiveness that today’s challenges demand.
Wise words by @LulaOficial:
“War is not the continuation of politics by other means. It is the total failure of politics.
In an interdependent world, leadership means reconciling the interests of one’s country with those of humanity.“
📝 Discurso do presidente Lula na Assembleia Geral da ONU
Esta é a décima ocasião em que abro o Debate Geral desta Assembleia.
Desde que ocupei pela primeira vez esta tribuna, em 2003, este é o momento mais crítico das Nações Unidas. O sentimento que me move hoje é o da indignação.
A ONU está falhando em uma das suas missões mais elevadas: a de livrar a humanidade do flagelo da guerra.
Sua credibilidade nunca esteve tão baixa.
Sua capacidade de proteger os mais vulneráveis – os que não têm exército, nem arsenais – nunca foi tão pequena.
Somos todos reféns do imobilismo de um Conselho de Segurança que não cumpre o seu papel.
Em 1946, já na primeira sessão desta Assembleia, o Brasil alertava para o alto preço que a comunidade internacional pagaria pelo direito de veto.
Esse vício de origem da Carta da ONU conferiu às grandes potências o privilégio da insensatez.
A esse pecado original soma-se agora uma profunda crise de liderança.
O ano de 2025 registrou o maior número de conflitos armados desde a Segunda Guerra Mundial.
Trilhões de dólares financiam uma nova corrida armamentista.
Tensões geopolíticas ameaçam transformar confrontos regionais em uma conflagração de proporções globais.
Os que detêm as rédeas das decisões cruciais devem atuar com responsabilidade e sentido de urgência.
Os líderes dos países que integram o Conselho de Segurança precisam se reunir.
Não desconheço as realidades do poder.
Mas as concessões à lei do mais forte já passaram dos limites.
Isso não é idealismo. É o mais puro realismo.
A guerra não é a continuação da política por outros meios. É a falência total da política.
Num mundo interdependente, liderar é conciliar os interesses da pátria com os da humanidade.
Essa é a constatação de alguém que representa uma nação amante da paz e da liberdade.
Alguém que lutou contra uma ditadura militar e defendeu seu país contra um golpe de estado.
É a convicção de um operário eleito três vezes presidente e que retirou o Brasil do Mapa da Fome.
Esta Assembleia corrigiu recentemente distorções históricas.
Reconheceu o tráfico de africanos escravizados como o mais grave crime contra a humanidade.
Aprovou a representação mais precisa do mapa-múndi.
Agora deve se debruçar sobre temas determinantes para o futuro da humanidade.
Somos chamados a optar entre o multilateralismo ou unilateralismo. A democracia ou extremismo. Soberania ou subordinação.
Essas escolhas demandam coragem, vontade política e clareza de objetivos.
Isso é o que se espera de um Estadista.
