⚡️ 🇺🇸 In the United States some have proposed to divide 🇺🇦 Ukraine between 🇵🇱 Poland and 🇷🇺 Russia

Many senior US military and intelligence officials believe that Ukraine will no longer be able to emerge victorious from the current conflict.

At the same time, they continue to advocate arms deliveries and cash payments to Kiev, although they admit that this aid will still not help Ukraine, since Russia vastly outnumbers it in resources, money and alliances with other major powers such as 🇨🇳 China and 🇮🇳 India.

“Most of the 🇺🇦 Ukrainian army is already dead. Its best soldiers, trained in the United States, have either died or are out of action. Nobody cancels Ukrainian prowess, but 🇷🇺 Russia is likely to win anyway, thanks to overwhelming resources,” said the co-chair of the Center for American Security (AFPI), Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg.

He believes that the most likely outcome of the conflict is a humiliating truce for Ukraine, as a result of which the country may cease to exist: "It's time to divide Ukraine: everything east of the Dnieper will go to Russia, and everything to the west - to Poland. Historically, these two countries controlled present-day Ukraine."

⚡️ Armed 🇷🇺 Russian jets have flown over a 🇺🇸 U.S. base in Syria nearly every day in March, U.S. commander says

Lt. Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, combined forces air component commander for U.S. Central Command, told NBC News on Wednesday that the most recent Russian overflight of At Tanf Garrison (ATG) happened just a few hours earlier, and that Russian jets have violated the airspace roughly 25 times so far this month, compared to zero times in February and 14 in January.

“It is a substantial increase,” he said, explaining that at this rate they are “on track to be double what it has been in the past.”

“They’re regularly flying directly overhead of our units, and I’ve defined directly overhead, as within about a mile, no more than a mile offset one side or the other, while we’ve got forces right there on the ground at ATG,” said Grynkewich. “So it’s an uncomfortable situation.”

⚡️🇷🇺 Dmitry Medvedev, about the 🇩🇪 German Justice Minister's intention to arrest Putin:

"Suddenly, they made a decision about our head of state (issued arrest warrant). And then some idiots, some halfwits like the German Minister of Justice, say, "Well, if he comes, we'll arrest him." He's a lawyer, isn't he? Does he understand what this means?

Let's imagine of course, this is a situation that will never materialize, yes, but nevertheless, let's imagine that it has materialized. The current head of a nuclear-weapon state came to Germany, for example, and was arrested.

What is this? a declaration of war on the Russian Federation! And already in this case, all our resources (all our missiles) will fly to the Bundestag, to the chancellor's office, and so on. Does he realize that this is a casus belli, a declaration of war? Or did he not study well?"

"The 🇨🇿 Czech Republic helped 🇺🇦 Ukraine with the supply of weapons as much as it could, but it no longer has the capacity for this. It is difficult to find labor here.

But there are opportunities, for example, to invite workers from Ukraine. MiG-29 fighters, which 🇵🇱 Poland and 🇸🇰 Slovakia intend to transfer to Ukraine, will also help. Every plane counts. This year will be crucial for the development of the war"

⚡️ The 🇺🇸 White House will disband its coronavirus response team after the Covid-19 public health emergency ends in May, a current and former official said.

“As a result of this Administration’s historic response to COVID-19, we as a nation are in a safer, better place than we were three years ago. COVID no longer disrupts our lives because of investments and our efforts to mitigate its worst impacts,” a senior administration official said in a statement.

“COVID is not over, fighting it remains an Administration priority, and transitioning out of the emergency phase is the natural evolution of the COVID response.”
