The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss the Russian economy and its transformation away from western institutional control and the dollar hegemony.
Even Wall Street investors are now taking a look at Russia’s well managed economy, low debt and excellent balance sheet.

Change is now possible in Ukraine. The conflict between it and Russia has been frozen for nearly five years thanks to former President Petro Poroshenko.
He’s gone. Volodmyr Zelensky is in power along with Zelensky’s political party which won close to a clear majority in Verkovna Rada elections recently.
Talks to construct a gas pipeline from Russia that would serve both North and South Korea have resumed and the possibility is now back on the table with thawing relations between the two Koreas.
The proposal was initially undergoing formal talks some seven years ago, but stalled when diplomatic relations between the North and South soured.
Now, rather than taking shipments, South Korea can import Russian gas via pipeline, cutting their cost by half while the initiative would also serve as yet another unifying factor on the peninsula.
As predicted by The Duran in our article of 3rd April 2017 (http://theduran.com/russia-wins-battle-eu-nord-stream-2/) the European Commission has dropped its legal case against the Russian monopoly natural gas supplier Gazprom.
This consolidates Russia’s and Gazprom’s position as the dominant supplier of gas to the European energy market, further securing Russia’s victory in the decade long European energy war.
In a conflict in which Ukraine repeatedly claims victories which in reality turn out to be defeats, Ukraine did win finally win a genuine victory over Russia at the Stockholm Arbitration Tribunal on Wednesday 28th February 2018.
The victory came in the litigation between Russia’s monopoly gas exporter gas exporter Gazprom and Ukraine’s national gas company Naftogaz.
Instead of importing expensive Qatari LNG and fracking the UK and European terra firma into oblivion, why not just buy affordable, abundant gas from Russia?
Yet another blow to US-EU economic sanctions on Russia…

RT’s Editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan has spoken before Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
In an impassioned speech, Simonyan spoke of the dangers of fake news media which she correctly lumped together with western mainstream media as a destabilising force of global mis-information.
She sated,
“We can only tackle this (fake news problem) together. In this case, together and with the help of Chinese media”.
