Flier: The ship sunk last night as it was being towed. Wot destroyed the ship is THE SHIP’S OWN EXPLOSIVES and not Ukrainian missiles. The explosives on board that ship exploded. Why? That’s the most difficult question to answer |

railone:I hate how Nigerians comment ignorantly, imagine how people from other countries will perceive you;a proud unintelligent slowpoke. So the javelin is a small tool Hun,and the Moskva ship has no vulnerability. Tell me just 1 tank that can defend itself against the javelin. You all just be saying nonsense with pride. It's Ukraine I pity, innocent people dieing ,their pains and the destruction going on in their country undereported just so as to make Putin look like he his losing. The rest of the world debating over who is losing and winning as though it's a game. Just check Reddit, TikTok and YouTube and see how Ukraine is being destroyed. |

layycon:The problem with you is that you’re unwilling to learn, to read or to research. You gullibly swallow propaganda from RT and dump here. And that’s a shame. You ask why Zelensky is fighting. Because all his peace overtures have been rebuffed. He was DESPERATELY calling for talks and discussions before the war. That is in the public domain. Since the war started, he has been pushing for negotiated settlements on reasonable terms. Russia has simply been acting on bad faith and stalling all negotiations. They did so because they thought they’d quickly overrun Kyiv and install a puppet. The Ukrainians fight on because they’ve seen in Bucha what happens to areas Russia controls. They’ve seen the cases of rape, abduction, forced resettlement and murder. They’ve seen Russians burn Ukrainian books and try to institute the primacy of Russian language. They’ve seen the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church essentially call for the total occupation and annexation of Ukraine. They’ve seen Russian TV hosts and Russia parliament members insist that Kyiv is the goal and Ukraine should be ‘purged’. So you sit there in the comfort of your home and insult a strong wartime president for not surrendering his people to slavery and conquest. You attack them for fighting for their freedom. But then again, you’re descended from people who sold their fellow men into slavery for glass beads and mirrors. When the war Ends, If it ends with a free, independent Ukraine, that would be a victory. Damage cities can be rebuilt. An enslaved nation will struggle to regain their freedom. |

Al Jazeera Here are all the latest updates: 1 min ago (08:06 GMT) Russia says killed up to 30 ‘Polish mercenaries’ in Ukraine Russia has said that it has killed up to 30 Polish mercenaries fighting for Ukrainian forces in the war-torn country’s northeastern region of Kharkiv. The Russian defence ministry said its strategic rocket forces “eliminated up to 30 Polish mercenaries” in a strike on the village of Izyumskoe, not far from the city of Kharkiv. 4 mins ago (08:03 GMT) Russia pledges more strikes on Kyiv Russia’s defence ministry has promised more strikes against Kyiv and said it had struck a military target on the edge of the capital overnight. The ministry said its forces had also completely taken control of the Ilyich Steel Plant in the besieged port city of Mariupol. 50 mins ago (07:17 GMT) ‘Bad PR’: analyst comments on Russia losing warship Moskva The sinking of the Russian warship Moskva was “a very big loss” for Moscow, defense and military analyst Pavel Felgengauer told Al Jazeera. “Losing a flagship during a war is really bad, it’s bad PR,” Felgengauer said. “It’s going to increase the morale of Ukrainians at a time when they are on the verge of losing Mariupol,” he added. “The ship was important at it was specifically designed in soviet times to attack and destroy American aircraft carrier groups with very long range supersonic cruise missiles,” Felgengauer said, adding that nuclear weapons may have been on board. 1 hour ago (06:53 GMT) CIA chief worried Putin’s military setbacks may lead him to nuclear weapon use President Vladimir Putin may resort to using a tactical or low-yield nuclear weapon in light of Russia’s military setbacks in Ukraine, the CIA director, William Burns, has said. During a speech at Georgia Tech university in Atlanta on Thursday, Burns said given the potential desperation of President Putin and the Russian leadership, “none of us can take lightly the threat posed by a potential resort to tactical nuclear weapons or low-yield nuclear weapons”. “We’re obviously very concerned. I know President Biden is deeply concerned about avoiding a third world war, about avoiding a threshold in which, you know, nuclear conflict becomes possible,” he added. 2 hours ago (06:35 GMT) More than 2,500 evacuated from Ukrainian cities on Thursday A total of 2,557 people were evacuated from Ukrainian cities through humanitarian corridors on Thursday, Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said. Of that, 289 people evacuated from the besieged southern port of Mariupol by their own transport, Vereshchuk said in an update over the Telegram messaging app. 2 hours ago (06:33 GMT) Two people dead and two injured in Luhansk Two people have died and two were injured after a day of shelling in the Luhansk region, the governor of Luhansk said on Telegram. Serhiy Haidai wrote that Russian troops shelled houses and infrastructure 24 times.

Both events will likely lead Moscow to review its maritime posture in the Black Sea, says the UK defence ministry in its latest intelligence briefing. Russia’s Alligator-class landing ship Saratov, which had been docked at the Russian-occupied port of Berdiansk on the Sea of Azov, was damaged on March 24. On the Soviet-era vessel Moskva, the UK’s defence ministry provided some background, saying it was commissioned in 1979 and was later extensively refitted, returning to operational status only in 2021. 3 hours ago (05:07 GMT) 27 fires caused by shelling in Kharkiv region in 24 hours Rescuers of the Kharkiv state emergency services went out 33 times in the past day to eliminate fires, 27 of which were caused by Russian shelling, the press service of the State Emergency Service in the Kharkiv region has reported. The fires were in residential high-rise buildings, private houses, garages and cars, as well as warehouses and trade facilities. Pyrotechnic units were called out 83 times to clear ammunition and other explosive objects, the press service added. |

Police foil 'plot' to kidnap minister Four German nationals were arrested over a plan to kidnap the health minister and destroy power facilities German police have arrested four people on suspicion of plotting to kidnap public figures, including Health Minister Karl Lauterbach, as well as planning to carry out a series of attacks on power facilities with the intent to cause a nationwide power outage. “The two main suspects are believed to have agreed with others to mount an attack on the federal health minister,” said a spokesperson for the Koblenz prosecutor’s office on Thursday. According to the police, the group, which called themselves Vereinte Patrioten – German for United Patriots – were detained on Wednesday and found to be affiliated with anti-Covid-19 groups as well as with the far-right “Reichsburger” movement, which denies the legitimacy of the modern German state. State prosecutors claim that by carrying out the kidnapping of public figures and the attacks on German power facilities, the group “intended to cause civil war-like conditions” which would enable the toppling of Germany’s elected government and its democratic system. Investigators say they searched 20 residences and found a number of weapons during the arrest, including a Kalashinkov rifle, ammunition, cash, and gold and silver ingots. Police also confiscated mobile phones, data drives, computers and written documents pertaining to the group’s plans. They also noted that they had found forged coronavirus vaccination and test certificates. Health Minister Karl Lauterbach responded to the arrests by saying they demonstrated the radicalization of people protesting against coronavirus restrictions, adding that it went far beyond the issue of Covid-19. “There are forces that intend to destabilize the state and democracy. They are using the Covid protests. This is a small minority in our society but they are highly dangerous,” Lauterbach said. The arrest comes as anger in Germany has been on the rise over restrictions on those unvaccinated against Covid-19 as well as a government proposal to make vaccinations compulsory for the general public. Last week, German police conducted a series of nationwide raids against far-right extremist groups, involving almost 800 police officers. The authorities searched the residences of several dozen suspected right-wing extremists belonging to neo-Nazi groups. Authorities arrested four “key figures” believed to be the leaders of a group called Knockout 51. The federal prosecutor’s office claims they were involved in protests against Covid-19 measures in cities such as Leipzig and Kassel that resulted in violent clashes with police and counter-protesters. One of the arrested suspects was also said to be connected to the Atomwaffen Division – a neo-Nazi terrorist organization with ties to the US, which has been linked to at least five murders. |
