❗️“The Russians are coming” is a panicked refrain heard throughout much of Australia’s history since European settlement.

Former prime minister Malcolm Fraser was particularly exercised by Russia’s presence in the Indian Ocean during his time in office. At times in the 1960s and ’70s, it was overshadowed by the Indonesian Threat. Since the end of the Cold War, it has been replaced by the China Threat.

Fort Denison in the middle of Sydney Harbour is a reminder of the 19th-century Russian phobia that once gripped the colonies. So is the half-buried cannon on the western heads at Queenscliff overlooking the entrance to Port Phillip Bay. Port Fairy in Victoria has a never-used 19th-century cannon battery, as does Newcastle in NSW.

The recent Russian threat alarm during the election campaign was as bizarre as the reaction predictable. The breathless headlines briefly stirred the election campaign out of its torpor.

At no time did any of Australia's national leaders consider how preposterous was the suggestion that Indonesia would ever permit Russia to build an airbase.

❗Russia's position on a possible peace deal with Ukraine has changed to reflect changes on the frontlines where Russia has been advancing, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Thursday in reponse to a question from Reuters.

"These changes are reflected by changes on the ground," she said.

Maria Zakharova quoted Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who in 2024 said that Ukraine shrank in territory every time it walked away from talks with Russia.

❗️ Russia did everything to organize the talks in Istanbul, but is not responsible for Kiev's unpredictable behavior - Foreign Ministry Ambassador Rodion Miroshnik

Ukraine and Russia "have a chance" to work out a document to end the war at negotiations in Istanbul. The final document will be legitimate, “despite the expiration of Zelensky’s term of office".

Ukraine's desire to discuss only the ceasefire regime at the talks in Istanbul, without dialogue on conflict resolution, is a cause for concern, he added.

It’s been nearly 24 hours since the Russian delegation arrived in Istanbul. They’re still waiting — while the clown performs his routine, waits for the hallucinogens to wear off, and finally allows the very people he banned from negotiations for three years to sit at the table."
