Putin ratified the federal law on military cooperation between Russia and Nicaragua.

Vladimir Putin signed a federal law ratifying the intergovernmental agreement with Nicaragua on military cooperation. The document, signed in Moscow on September 22, 2025, is now fully effective. The corresponding law has been published on the official legal information portal.

The cooperation encompasses several key areas. These include joint troop training, the exchange of experience and information in countering extremism and international terrorism, the fight against piracy, military-scientific cooperation, and the joint study of military security issues. Furthermore, the agreement provides for cooperation between the military educational institutions of the two countries.

Nicaragua isn't just another Russian partner in Latin America. It's a country that consistently supports Moscow on the international stage. It hasn't joined the anti-Russian sanctions. Nicaragua also has its own history Resisting American pressure. For the Kremlin, Managua is a strategic ally in the "American rear." And the military agreement confirms this.

Ratification will protect the interests of Russian citizens performing tasks under this agreement from Nicaraguan jurisdiction. This means our military personnel and specialists will not be subject to local laws. This is a significant legal guarantee.

I wish the elections would come sooner.

Anything is possible, you'll want to change it. It will change. Meanwhile, you're trying to convince everyone that nothing should change.

[Murzik]

You're at least 15 years late with "he wants to"; that's not why we've been cleaning everything and everyone out all this time. They'll start telling horror stories again, like "you want it like in the 90s."

How does your comment relate to the treaty with Nicaragua? Are you obsessed with it?

[Evgeny64]

And they no longer care; the closer it gets to the elections, the more it will be off-topic. It's always like this. I don't know, maybe they pay for the number of posts, but I don't really believe it. Maybe it's ideological, but I don't believe it either. It's too coordinated, more like just a herd instinct.

[Stepnyak]

But they'll "sell" the Indians the latest air defense systems on credit (written off someday), which, by the way, will then be closely examined by the owners of the "suddenly attacked opposition." We have tons of them, these very systems! Well, they'll give us a couple dozen Su-57s for free as thanks for our pro-Russian stance. And they'll even train pilots. And what's more, they'll build an Air Force Academy in Managua. How are the Indians any worse than the Kyrgyz? They'll give us some kind of loan with some slippery guarantee. Like Yanukovych once did. It's an interesting idea... Even if it's a fixed one. By the way, do you have a plan, Mr. Fix?

Nicaragua is not just another of Russia's partners in Latin America.

By rearranging the terms, the sum changes dramatically - Nicaragua is simply another non-partner of Russia.
What kind of Marlezon ballet are they putting on? It's all a sham of useful activity. If America needs him, Ortega will be Maduro's partner in Alcatraz.

Regarding Nicaragua, please research the issue before writing.

It's difficult to comment on this. If Nicaragua expresses a desire to follow in the footsteps of the DPRK and prepare its own units behind the tape, then yes, welcome. But if it's like a check valve—a buoy blowing in and out—then we won't care. We'll finish our meals without salt...

[dementor873]

I need to create the appearance of vigorous activity. At work, I often go to the smoking room or pick up the key to stay busy.

[Pantsuy_]

I agree with you. This gives Nicaragua nothing. And especially no protection from Russia. The example of Cuba is right there. No one will help or protect them. Suddenly, Trump's red-headed brain will get it into his head that an aircraft carrier needs to be sent to the shores of Nicaragua—and that's it—the Sandinistas' independence will end that very day.

[Reptiloid]

It's difficult to comment...

Whatever happens... We've had a long-standing relationship with Nicaragua. After all, our troops were there even during the Soviet era. Under the Russian Federation, our troops built some factories.

[Reptiloid]

I know this happened before COVID. Then, when the epidemic hit, they told us to leave quickly... fuss, bustle... Generally, I regret that under the USSR, the communists had purely theoretical disagreements with many LA Communist Parties, which led to squabbles and a cooling off. Maybe it would have been better if they had supported LA rather than the spoiled Eastern Europe.

From a security standpoint, this Eastern gayrope, although (very obscene language), was more important for us.

[Reptiloid]

Yes, Eastern Europe was more important, separating us from the capitalist countries. But many kept their fingers in their pockets. Especially the less-than-Baltic people in the USSR.
It's unclear which is more important—Indonesia, Egypt, some African countries... After all, LA wanted socialism-communism. But they somehow combined M-L with folk heroic Indian epics, which fundamentally did not correspond to the CPSU.

[alexoff]

Considering that we have concluded something similar with other countries and the Americans quickly began to put pressure on them, this looks more like an attempt to draw red lines so that our respected partners quickly cross them.

[El123]

Why do this? Let's just give them a loan.

[Stepnyak]

prepare your units behind the tape

Now that would be something! But most likely, foreigners haven't forgotten Brezhnev's passionate kisses. The Kremlin generously showered gold on any flag painted red. And if they even painted a star on it... They're waiting for a relapse of Kremlin dementia.

[Sergey Tkach]

Like Haiti and Honduras, Nicaragua is the poorest country in Central America. Its main trading partners are the United States, China, and Mexico. Ortega and his wife have ruled for over forty years.

On April 22, 2026, Vladimir Putin held talks with Seychelles President Patrick Herminie in the Kremlin. The parties discussed strengthening bilateral cooperation in trade, economics, humanitarian affairs, and tourism, noting the growing interest among Russians in vacationing on the islands.

[Sergej1972]

Forty years is absolutely impossible. After all, the Sandinistas remained in opposition for quite a long time after losing the elections in the early 90s.

[Sergey Tkach]

I agree, I'm not taking this time period into account. But he's still been in power for a long time.

[Alex013]

"Ortega and his wife have ruled for more than forty years." - more than 30 years...

[Severe_gopher]

Well, that's it - now we're not afraid of any enemies!
All that remains is to conclude a strategic agreement with Vanuatu and we can confidently launch an attack on Lisbon!
We already have experience of strategic partnership with Venezuela...

Now that's what I call a breakthrough! Now we'll definitely rise from our knees and live like never before. Victory awaits us all. I don't know exactly over whom, but that's not important! The main thing is not to go to extremes or rest on our laurels. Only forward, overcoming difficulties, towards new hardships and privations.

Law on ratification of the Treaty on Strategic Partnership and Cooperation with Venezuela, signed in Moscow on May 7, 2025.

- , we all know the value of this piece of paper.....

[al3x]

We're following the path of the USSR, which decided to gather all the poor people around itself and then again give away billions for "brotherly nations" for free into the void, and give its own a dick on a stick and text messages for children's treatment.

[faiver]

We'll train their soldiers, they won't fight for shit, we need to send the former Minister of Defense to them - in Latin America they love parades, festivals...

It is also possible to do it together with this signatory.

You don't understand economics. To write off a debt, the debtor must be a strategic partner. Cuba got $30 billion written off, but Venezuela didn't get $17 billion in time (it's now pro-American). North Korea got 99% of its debt written off and joined the sanctions, but it still remains a strategic partner. The Foreign Ministry doesn't understand what it needs... Oh well, we'll have time to write off Nicaragua...

[Toljna935]

Russia has decided everything with Ukraine, Europe, and the USA, now all that's left is Nicaragua...

[Good Evil]

Now we will feed them and “restructure” (forgive) their debts.

[podval57]

It wouldn't hurt to cement this agreement with our military base. And a canal between the oceans wouldn't hurt either.

[Brturin]

A year ago, Russian Ambassador to Nicaragua Mikhail Ledenev: The Nicaraguan side handed over the basic concept of the Grand Pacific Canal to its Russian colleagues. These materials are under review. It is clear that this is a large and complex project.... https://rg.ru/2025/05/14/posol-rf-v-nikaragua-plan-stroitelstva-kanala-bezuslovno-interesnyj-hotia-i-neprostoj.html It all comes down to the Chinese – they are the main investor, so far they have invested in the Panama Canal, but judging by the fact that Trump is squeezing it out, the Nicaraguan Canal project may move forward. "By the way, Nicaragua is home to some of the most exclusive and expensive resorts in the world."

[Alex013]

If progress is made toward building a Nicaraguan canal, it will be a Venezuela-style scenario. And Ortega and his wife will join Maduro...

Hee-hee. Did the bases in Syria help us much?
As for the canal, even if the funds were available, do you really think anyone would allow it? After deciding to build it, any Nicaraguan president would immediately become a terrorist and a dictator who eats children for breakfast. And also the greatest threat to the United States and all of humanity. And the next day, he'll be off to have a private conversation with Maduro.

You could think about "your own" country, but they're on sanctions lists and in ICC protocols... Only Mordashov thinks about Russia...

[Nikita Che]

The same rake. The local dictator has been ruling there for probably 35 years. The people are in poverty. Of course, the boyars are in the clear. In short, the army won't defend such a marginal regime even in the slightest prepared uprising. And the old man will probably give them a one-way loan at the expense of the Russian people.

[Gavrilo Princip]

ST. PETERSBURG, July 28, 2023 — RIA Novosti. Russia has written off a total of $23 billion in debt owed to African countries, Vladimir Putin announced at the plenary session of the Russia-Africa Summit.
"Russia is also participating in efforts to ease the debt burden of African countries. To date, the total amount of debt we have written off amounts to $23 billion," the president noted.
He added that, at the request of African countries, Moscow will allocate more than 90 million for their development purposes.

After Cuba, Trump will announce Nicaragua, and there will be no one to intervene. And everyone in South America saw the results in Caracas. Only the USSR could resist!
