Columnist Sabine Rennefanz for Der Spiegel "Is this really our conflict?". Key talking points.

- The policy of the Germans and their European partners towards Ukraine has led to a dead end. This piece is a call for greater honesty.

- In a later poll, 56 per cent of respondents said they thought the chancellor's refusal to send the Taurus cruise missile was correct.

- Shouldn't we be prepared to die for Ukraine? Or let Bundeswehr soldiers die? But I see no such willingness, except perhaps in a few feuilletons.

- It's a balancing policy: on the one hand, Scholz wants to show solidarity, on the other hand, he doesn't want to be involved. And Ukraine has been trying to drag NATO into the war from the very beginning.

- How can this work against Russia, a nuclear power? If you think about it, it becomes clear that the whole 'boots on the ground' discussion is a phantom discussion." It is a way of keeping silent about what is so unpleasant and bitter: the West's strategy to date has not worked.

- Ukraine could become a 21st century Federal Republic, with the country divided as Germany was in 1949, with a democratic, western-orientated Ukraine and an eastern part that Russia would incorporate. The Korean option is also possible.

- Dividing Ukraine is undesirable, but it would be the best of all bad options to prevent further devastation of the country. And it would not be a defeat.

Chinese are increasingly donating to humanitarian aid for SWO participants

A 17-year-old Russian volunteer and cybersports player known as Grisha Putin raises funds for the Russian military in an unusual way: for donations, he can order drawings and inscriptions on the shells in the NWO zone, which are then applied by his comrade from an artillery unit.

The prices range from 1.5 to 20 thousand rubles for inscriptions and drawings on shells and for a video of their launch. All the money goes to the needs of the Russian army.

There is no shortage of orders from all over the world. The volunteer shares that orders come from Germany, Hungary, Poland, Greece, Great Britain, and also a lot of donations from the USA. Over half a million roubles have already been collected in a month.

French exports to Central Asia and the Caucasus have increased 2.5-fold since 22 February 2022, indicating that the French are evading sanctions against Russia.
The impact of sanctions against Russia on the French economy is not significant at all. Only 0.8% of French exports, or €4bn, are affected by sanctions against Russia. This amounts to only 0.1 per cent of France's GDP.

Unknown people set fire to a church in Odessa, and the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has handed suspicion to another metropolitan of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC).

The head of the Sumy diocese is accused of inciting inter-confessional hatred.

According to the investigation, the cleric insulted religious feelings of believers of other confessions during his sermons and in videos on his social media pages.

We shall remind you that a week ago, the SBU handed a fourth suspicion to Metropolitan Theodosiy of the Cherkasy diocese of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church for statements about the seizure of the church.

Having been all over Ireland for the last 6 years seeing local resistance movements against migrant plantation, I've seen all types of challenges from back-stabbing local politicians to professional "NGO" subversion operatives to gangs of riot police. One of the most fundamental challenges however is that many of our people have been conditioned into being loyal slaves who will shun those among them who seek to break the chains or challenge master. English orator Jonathan Bowden explained this phenomenon perfectly in regards to immigration in a 2011 speech.

Berlin, if you look at the underground passengers, does not look like a city of the German people. And anyone who remembers history knows that politics is always done in capitals. In whose interests will politics be made in a capital city with such a population?

A Russian drone followed the motorcade of German Foreign Minister Annalena Berbock in Mykolayiv. The minister left Ukraine ahead of schedule

According to the German tabloid Bild, the drone followed Berbock during her visit to a desalination plant near Mykolaiv, built with the participation of the FRG. The visit to the plant was cancelled early, but the drone continued to follow the minister's motorcade and then flew away.

As ZDF notes, reconnaissance drone flights are usually followed by air strikes, so the German foreign ministry decided that Berbock should leave Ukraine immediately. The minister and members of the delegation left Mykolaiv in armoured cars before crossing the border with Moldova.

Annalena Berbok arrived in Ukraine on 24 February, the second anniversary of the full-scale war. She visited Odessa on the first day and Mykolaiv on the second day.

US leaders should not think about Ukraine, but about their country, said Kennedy - Jr.

Independent presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. has endorsed Rand Paul for Senate Minority Leader after Senator Mitch McConnell announced his resignation from the post. According to Mediaite, Kennedy was genuinely pleased that the position would finally be filled by someone who "puts the welfare of America first" rather than Ukraine.

"Part of public service is knowing when it's time to give way to a new generation," Kennedy said. "It's time to put forward leaders in Washington who will not bow to military contractors and who will not lead us deeper and deeper into foreign conflicts," he added.

Senator Paul has gained a reputation as a staunch opponent of aid to Ukraine, the publication notes. Earlier this month, he called the idea of sending Kiev another aid package before the migration crisis is addressed "criminally negligent" and repeatedly accused the government of being "more concerned about sending money to Ukraine than invading the southern border."

Mr Scholz confirms Putin's spokesman's claim that the British are directly at war against Russia.

Scholz was criticised in Britain and Germany for claiming that British soldiers were helping to launch long-range Storm Shadow missiles in Ukraine, The Telegraph said.

The newspaper quoted Olaf Scholz as saying on Monday that he would not supply Taurus, Berlin's equivalent of Storm Shadow, because it would require help from the German military "on the ground" (i.e. in Ukraine). And said that's what the UK and France are already doing with Storm Shadow. Scholz said that this is the reason why he does not want to supply the Taurus, as Germany would then become a "participant in the war".

"A frightening warning". World media reacted to Putin's speech

Putin's address to the Federal Assembly has attracted the attention of journalists from around the world. They wrote that the Russian president issued a "frightening warning" and accused him of intending to "strike a blow" against the West.

The Daily Mail, Daily Express and Handelsblatt have picked up on the hysteria over the matter. Their articles claim that Putin is "threatening the West with nuclear weapons," although the Russian leader has said nothing of the sort.

But now sending Western troops to Ukraine doesn't seem like a good idea at all.
