I personally feel some strong imperialist arrogance from that fucking professorSpeaking from personal observation, Indian internet is also unequivocally pro-Russian.
Most posters feel Zelensky is a bumbling idiot made into a sacrificial goat by the USA . His former profession as a clown is not helping his image either. A purported video of him shamelessly ogling at the chest of well endowed beauties in some TV Show of his is being relentlessly forwarded here.. mainly in whatsApp and telegram

In a videotaped news conference held on Thursday, the chair of Russia’s Duma committee on energy said in translated remarks that when it comes to “friendly” countries such as China or Turkey, Russia is willing to be more flexible with payment options.
Chair Pavel Zavalny said that the national fiat currency of the buyer — as well as bitcoin — were being considered as alternative ways to pay for Russia’s energy exports.
“We have been proposing to China for a long time to switch to settlements in national currencies for rubles and yuan,” Zavalny said in translated comments. “With Turkey, it will be lira and rubles.”
He didn’t stop with traditional currencies.
“You can also trade bitcoins,” he said.
The energy chair also doubled down on President Vladimir Putin’s promise on Wednesday to require “unfriendly” countries to pay for gas in Russian rubles. Putin’s announcement sent European gas prices soaring over worries the move might aggravate an energy market already under pressure.
“If they want to buy, let them pay either in hard currency, and this is gold for us, or pay as it is convenient for us, this is the national currency,” Zavalny said, in comments that echoed the president’s warning from the day before.

Russia is considering selling its oil and gas for bitcoin as sanctions intensify from the West
Russia might accept bitcoin as payment for its oil and gas exports as Western countries stiffen their sanctions on Moscow.

“When it comes to our ‘friendly’ countries, like China or Turkey, which don’t pressure us, then we have been offering them for a while to switch payments to national currencies, like rubles and yuan,” Zavalny said during the press conference. “With Turkey, it can be lira and rubles. So there can be a variety of currencies, and that’s a standard practice. If they want bitcoin, we will trade in bitcoin.”
“When we exchange with Western countries…they should pay in hard money,” Zavalny said. “And hard money is gold, or they must pay in currencies which are convenient for us, and that is the national currency – ruble. That relates to our ‘unfriendly’ countries.”

This Arnab guy is a nut job but this time I have to agree with him he has hit the nail right on the head and hit very very hard. And this is not from the 5th floor of Serena Hotel Kabul....

As long as the United States undertakes in writing that NATO will not expand eastward, Ukraine will usher in peace. It is hoped that the United States will give up the economic benefits of rising oil and gas prices.
When Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons, the United States and Europe also promised to defend Ukraine.But now they've given up.

Hey, they still can’t get a Big Mac. That’s how those sanctions are working.
This news editor is probably the most "famous" or infamous newsman in India. His bullying excoriating nature makes his panel shows heated.
He is close to the Government, so he may have got the wink to put Anglos in their place. Also the mood of the populace being pro-Russian, he is playing to the gallery. USSR had invested in Indian goodwill across generations.. not just through arms sales, but also via media, sports, movies, student exchanges, technology etc when the West was siding with Pakistan. Even in my remote location our first encounter with good quality printed books were free copies like Misha, Mir, Pravda in the 80s...
Indians preferred the term Rus/Roos for the USSR and that identity has remained with the rump Russia..
The internet and it's mutations have made it difficult if not impossible for the West to control the narrative like it used to, till around 2010. An explosion of cheap Chinese Android phones and expansion of the internet coverage has saturated the information flow without central control.
Alternate voices can be heard now..

Putin said the West had declared economic war by freezing Russian assets, and so Russia saw no point in receiving dollars or euros for Russian exports anymore.

Russia warns West: gas bills in roubles are just days away
Russia warned the West on Friday that billing in roubles for billions of dollars of natural gas exports to Europe could be just days away, Moscow's toughest response yet to crippling sanctions imposed by the West for the invasion of Ukraine.

“The dollar ceases to be a means of payment for us, it has lost all interest for us,” Zavalny added, calling the greenback no better than “candy wrappers.”

Russia just made a case for owning gold — and nobody noticed
It makes sense to have at least some gold in a long-term investment portfolio

I think they can, big macs and what not are produced in Russia, I think they took over the management. The first few days were just for media vultures to dive in.

Where did you read this?
All it said was if Ukraine gives up its nuclear weapons, The US, Russia, and the UK would agree not to invade it. It never said if 1 of the three broke the agreement the other two would come to its defense.
Are you saying from the very beginning in 1994 Russia was already considered the evil militaristic neighbor of Ukraine which should be their top worry...not NATO? The entire Eastern block was duped for decades into thinking NATO was their biggest foe and with a snap of the fingers realized their biggest foe was actually lurking way behind their front lines...and immediately asked for protection from them?
Is this really your logic?

Rewriting history has nothing to do with cowardice, you openly watch as Ukraine get raped, all the while playing the role of instigating and stirring up shit. US has a nickname, the shit stirrer. If you can't even defend Ukraine with a big ole NATO next to it, I am not sure if Taiwan can be defended. Its all talk and show. Lolol
