"He really left us with a very deep impression about the principles that, without ceasing to be an earthly man, he promoted in the international arena," the Russian diplomat said.
On Friday, Russian Federation's Foreign Affairs Minister Sergei Lavrov evoked the historical figure of Commander Hugo Chavez, the leader of the Bolivarian Revolution whose death anniversary Venezuelans will remember next Sunday.
"We pay tribute to Hugo Chavez, who passed away 10 years ago, leaving a deep mark not only in the history of his country and Latin American, but also in the history of the world community," Lavrov said, pointing out that the late Venezuelan president was an unwavering defender of equality in international affairs.

<< Or could it be a shared hatred of the US? >>
And shared ideology.
LOL. Good one. Birds of a feather....
“...pointing out that the late Venezuelan president was an unwavering defender of equality in international affairs...”
The shared equality of misery for all. He succeeded in that regard, especially for Venezuelans, who love their socialist utopia so much that tens of millions of them want to flee their country. /spit
Joel Osteen was also born on March 5 - definitely a commie!

Aren’t you in lockstep with the biden admin? I mean you absolutely believe whatever they tell you about Russia and Ukraine and fully support their efforts to get us into the war. How is biden any different then chavez?
No, I’m in “lockstep” with President Trump. Remember when he sanctioned Nordstream2, campaigned to have American energy replace Russian energy in Europe and killed a bunch of Russians in Syria? Those were excellent policies. Wouldn’t you agree?
Bakhmut is of course of strategic value. It is covering the crossing of three major train lines and four major roads (M-03, M-32, T-13-02, T-05-13). As such it is the linchpin of the whole Donbas region. Besides that it also has some valuable mineral mines.

Russian source report death per week at a lower rate than Ukrainian death per day. The ratio is again about 10 Ukrainians for 1 Russian.
I have said for a while that Bakhmut was in operational encirclement. Russian artillery could reach its last roads in and out. Since three days ago Bakhmut is in tactical encirclement. Russian direct fire, i.e. tank guns and hand held anti-tank missiles, can now cover all of Bakhmut's supply routes. They will shot at any car that attempts to drive there. Its one reason why the reported deaths have harshly increased. Should the Ukraine decide to order its soldiers to stay in Bakhmut the city will be physically encircled. All roads will be blocked not only by fire but by heavily armed Russian checkpoints. The Ukrainian soldiers in Bakhmut, several thousands still seem to be there, will then be left with only two options: surrender or die. ###

During the last year Ukraine has enlisted hundreds of thousands of new recruits, but these new soldiers are being sent to the front with only minimal training. Ukraine does not have the number of trained, experienced soldiers required to mount a massive counter offensive. The lack of personnel is compounded by the inability of the West to supply ammunition and vehicles in sufficient numbers to sustain intense operations.
According to Andrei Martyanov, who has good sources in Russia, the 300,000 reservists called up last August have not yet been deployed to the front lines. The meaning is simple — Russia enjoys a massive advantage in terms of manpower, tanks, artillery, ammunition, missiles and combat air.
The fall of Bakhmut is a major blow, not just to Ukraine, but to the United States and NATO. This sets the stage for the West doing something desperate while Russia is content to continue to pulverize what is left of the Ukrainian military.

The Russians aren’t the only ones remembering this fellow.
Chavez was one ugly mofo!
Hugo Chavez was the Idol of the Left Wing in the US for years!! They literally worshipped him! The guy was a hardline leftist communist.
Hugo Chavez won his elections.
He arranged government money for the poor and they outnumbered the rich (and where is that not true?) and voted for him.
The rich running businesses hated that he was winning like this. It prevented their businesses from growing.
But that’s what the people wanted.
Then the US imposed sanctions and attempted to overthrow the government the people elected. The most prominent memory I have of US propaganda claims about Venezuela is that of starvation and empty grocery stores, including supposed photos of this.
My doubt was solidified the day there was an earthquake in Caracas. Youtube filled with local videos of the shaking and damage. It also filled with people streaming in terror out of buildings all over the country.
None of them were emaciated and skeletal. Not a single one. I looked carefully.
Then there were interviews with people on the highways “fleeing” Venezuela because they were destitute and starving.
Most of them were in vehicles. The women had taken time to put on makeup before the interview.
We are being lied to about almost everything. Daily.
Chavez won his first election in 1999. Population then was about 23 million. He died in 2013. The population then was about 29 million. Hard for that to be so if no one has food.
Defending Commies now?
