⚡The German Ministry of Defence is alarmed that a large amount of information may have been leaked, and not just a published fragment of the negotiations between German officers about the attack on the Crimean bridge, reports Der Spiegel.

"The German defence ministry is alarmed by this case as other internal negotiations could have been tapped," Spiegel writes, citing sources.

The publication notes that the question now is whether other negotiations of the German Air Force and other military departments could have been tapped.

It is reported that the intercepted conversation was conducted by Luftwaffe officers through open channels on the WebEx platform, which Spiegel says is "relatively easy to bug". In addition, the publication suggests that one of the participants in the conversation even connected to the conference via a mobile phone, while he was in Singapore.

⚡The Syrian Ministry of Defense reported that the country's air defense forces shot down seven drones in the Idlib and Raqqa provinces.

Five of them belonged to terrorists attempting to target positions of the Syrian Arab Army.

The remaining two, apparently destroyed in northern Syria, were identified as "RQ-21 Blackjack" drones, commonly used by the US Marine Corps for reconnaissance.

The Pentagon has not provided information on drone losses in Syria.

Many people still do not know what is really happening in Ukraine. NATO regular forces has been fighting in Ukraine since the beginning of the first month of war. When you recall what happened in Mariupol, especially inside the Azovstal steel plant, you'd understand better that Russia has been fighting and killing NATO regular forces in Ukraine. Poland, France, and Canadian forces, including high ranking personnel, have been liquidated in Ukraine many times. What you're hearing from those countries now regarding sending troops to Ukraine is purely out of bitterness that most of the troops they sent unofficially were killed or gravely wounded by the Russians. So, they're desperately trying to formalize the deployment in order to avoid accountability pby the time the whole thing becomes glaring.

Do you remember how they sent helicopters several times attempting to evacuate some high ranking figures trapped by Russia in the Azovstal steel plant? They keep making the attempt when all calls from Macron to Putin failed to get them freed. On each occasion they tried to fly out the high ranking figures, the helicopters were destroyed by Russian forces that surrounded Mariupol. Why would NATO be so desperate to free those guys if they weren't top NATO military brass but soldiers who went on their own accord as they claimed? One Canadian General was among them, which the Canadian government described as "formal" general with a problem of his own. What they are calling mercenaries are real NATO soldiers under a special contract so as to provide a narrative for plausible denial when the need arises.

Putin recently threatened nuclear strikes if NATO send troops to Ukraine. But you're claiming NATO have already sent troops since the beginning of the war, I'm guessing you're more informed than Putin then.

Both sides are using mercenaries but the mercenaries fighting on the side of Ukraine are NATO soldiers😂😂😂😂😂.

If NATO troops enter Ukraine today, you know the kind of arms and ammunition that would follow them? You think Putin is stupid?

If NATO gets involved directly, Putin knows he would lose, why do you think man is quick to his nuclear threats?

First month of the war and top NATO officers were trapped in Azov steel plant? Really? That period the US was still trying to rally NATO support and even Russia didn't say they were NATO officers.

I wonder where you get your false informations from.

Even bring Russian sources claiming that those Azov battalion were NATO officers.

⚡Iran primed to test Nuclear Weapons by end of 2024, ex-National Security Council official warns.

A former senior director of the National Security Council warned Iran appears primed to test one or more nuclear weapons by the end of the year, while the media remains mostly silent.

Robert Greenway, now a national security senior adviser at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, said on Saturday's edition of "Life, Liberty & Levin" the Biden administration is not enforcing proper sanctions and claimed the Raisi regime in Tehran is close to their goal of nuclear armament.

"They are a hair's breadth away," Greenway said.

"Look, if they don't test a weapon by the end of the year, it's only their incompetence that prevents them from doing it. And it might, but it might not."

Russia has defeated Ukraine. Most Ukraine best soldiers has been killed and wonded.

❗️The Wall Street Journal has published the terms of a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia, which was almost agreed but never signed:

▪️ Ukraine could become a member of the EU, but could not join military alliances such as NATO. In other words, a neutral status for the country with the prospect of EU membership was envisaged;

▪️ Of all the captured territories, only Crimea would remain under unconditional Russian control. The future of the 'LPR/DPR' was to be determined in face-to-face negotiations between Zelensky and Putin, which never took place. The Wall Street Journal article does not mention the territories seized by the Russian Federation after February 24 2022, but a number of people involved in the negotiations had previously said that Moscow had agreed to withdraw Russian troops from the taken territories


▪️ Foreign arms and troops cannot be sent to Ukraine;

▪️ The Ukrainian army was to be reduced to a certain size: Russia wanted no more than 85,000 troops, 342 tanks and 519 artillery pieces. And the range of its missiles was to be limited to 40 kilometres. Ukraine, on the other hand, wanted 250,000 troops, 800 tanks and 1,900 artillery pieces;

▪️ The Russian language was to be used on an equal footing with Ukrainian in the official sphere. However, Ukraine did not agree to this clause;

▪️ Russia did not want the ICC to investigate war crimes in Ukraine. Ukraine did not agree to this;

▪️ Ukraine did not agree to the cancellation of all mutual sanctions.

▪️ Ukraine's security under this treaty was to be guaranteed by foreign powers: the US, Britain, China, France and Russia. These countries would have been responsible for protecting Ukraine if the treaty was violated. However, as long as the treaty remained in force, the guarantors would be obliged to 'terminate international treaties and agreements incompatible with Ukraine's permanent neutrality', including any promises of bilateral military assistance. International security guarantees would not apply to Crimea and Sevastopol;

Russia also wanted to add Belarus as a guarantor, and Ukraine wanted to add Turkey;

▪️ In the case of an attack on Ukraine, the Russian Federation proposed that all the guarantor states agree on a response, but this was rejected by Kiev on the grounds that such a condition "would mean that a unified response would be unlikely if Russia itself became the aggressor". Ukraine, on the other hand, wanted its airspace closed in the case of an attack, which would have required the guarantor states to impose a no-fly zone and provide them with weapons. The Russian Federation did not agree to this.


The WSJ notes that the document "appears to be largely based on the 1990 treaty that created a unified Germany".

Negotiations continued until June 2022, including on Zoom. The WSJ writes that they stopped at Ukraine's initiative: "In the end, no deal could be reached. The scale of Russian war crimes in Ukraine became clear, Ukraine's military successes improved, and the West provided weapons to support Kiev

🤔 France Calls for Independent Probe into Gaza Aid Massacre

Emmanuel Macron has condemned the killing of dozens of Palestinians during an aid delivery in the northern Gaza Strip.

"Deep indignation at the images coming from Gaza where civilians have been targeted by Israeli soldiers," Macron wrote on X Friday, calling for "truth, justice, and respect for international law."

France's foreign ministry said, "the fire by Israeli soldiers against civilians trying to access food is unjustifiable.” Adding, there will have to be an “independent probe.”

❗️Britain urges Germany to send Taurus missiles to Kiev

The British government is privately urging Germany to provide Kiev regime with long-range Taurus missiles, Bloomberg reports.

According to sources, senior British officials have repeatedly made it clear to Germany that Ukraine desperately needs these weapons. To overcome Berlin's resistance, the UK has even offered Germany a swap deal under which London would supply Kiev regime with more of its own Storm Shadow missiles and Germany would then replenish Britain's stockpile with German missiles.

News of Britain's efforts came as London expressed irritation at German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's statement about the secret involvement of the British and French militaries in the conflict in Ukraine.

😳 ICYMI: “If Ukraine Falls, NATO Will Fight Against Russia” – Pentagon Chief Lloyd Austin

"If Ukraine loses, Putin will not stop, he will continue to attack and seize the sovereign territory of his neighbors," Austin claimed during a House Armed Services Committee hearing.

Adding, "And if you're a Baltic country, you're very worried about being next. And that's why they know Putin, they know what he's capable of. And frankly, if Ukraine loses, I really believe that NATO will go to war with Russia."

Washington continues to ramp up the war rhetoric - could it be because the US’ military-industrial complex rakes in billions in profits during conflicts?

And now we even openly hear European presidents, the president of France, the president of France, the same France that killed millions of people in Algeria and other occupied countries, they are talking about bringing in European troops and they want to accompany American troops to defend Nazism in Ukraine. The blood shed in Palestine and the blood shed in Ukraine is blood shed because of the Nazi-fascist attitude of NATO. We are facing an attempt by world capitalism, imperialism, to reintroduce fascism, Nazism, not only in Europe, not only in Ukraine, but also in our Latin American and Caribbean countries.

[b]French President Emmanuel Macron made a mistake when he announced the possible deployment of NATO troops to Ukraine, Politico reports.

The French leader's mistake not only exacerbated an already dire situation in Kiev, but also exposed divisions and panic among Western allies, the article said.

The French leader's announcement this week that NATO may have to send troops to Ukraine was met with sharp criticism and disapproval.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz led a group of angry critics who disagreed with Macron's assertion. As Scholz recalled, Western governments have agreed that "there will be no ground troops on Ukrainian soil, nor soldiers sent there by European or NATO states".

"If the French leader's remarks were intended to send a stern warning to the Kremlin, they failed utterly and had the exact opposite effect. To the Kremlin's delight, Macron's comments exposed the divisions and disagreements among Western countries and expressed panic over the military situation in Ukraine," the article said.

This was noted by Igor Kimakovsky, adviser to the head of the Donetsk People's Republic, Denis Pushilin: "He [Budanov] clearly said that in 2024 they will do everything to ensure that the Crimean bridge does not remain.

We will remind, the head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine recorded a speech on 25 February in which he promised new "surprises" on the peninsula and said that he would not recommend using the Crimean bridge.
