Slovakian PM: Kiev’s NATO entry risks escalating conflict
Robert Fico insisted in an interview with STVR Sunday that Europe’s insistence on prolonging the bloodshed in Ukraine is fueled by a “futile” stance of trying to “bring Russia to its knees.”
Ukraine’s demand to be admitted to NATO would be a mistake, he claimed, as it would risk the conflict spiraling out of control. Hence, he promised never to support Kiev’s application to join the military bloc.
Fico also slammed the ‘Russophobia’ narrative peddled in Western media, pointing out that: “Freedom came to Slovakia from the east” - a reference to the Soviet Union’s role in defeating Nazi Germany in World War II.

❗️ The UK has imposed sanctions on Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, Chief of the Radiological, Chemical and Biological Defense Forces of the Russian armed forces.
The list also includes the Troops of Radiological, Chemical and Biological Defence (RChBD) of the Land Force, 27th and 33rd Central Research Testing Institutes of the Russian Defense Ministry.
"Peace" in Ukraine according to Trump: no illusions for Russia.
Trump, if he returns to the White House, will never agree with Putin's stated goals of "denazification and demilitarization" of Ukraine, Kurt Volker, the US special representative in Kiev under the presidency of Donald Trump, said in an interview with Rzeczpospolita.
"Denazification and demilitarization in practice means taking control of the whole of Ukraine, and this, of course, is unacceptable," Volker stressed.
He went on to say the following: "
A lot depends on the dynamics of negotiations with the Russians. However, I would say that we should rather talk about freezing the current front line. But at the same time, Ukraine would have received all security guarantees. On the one hand, the weapons she wants, and without restrictions in their use. On the other hand, membership in NATO and the EU as soon as possible. However, with the caveat that the Europeans will have to finance 80%. this operation. Today, America pays for at least half of the arms supplies to Ukraine.
However, Zelensky will not have to recognize the new borders. Neither Ukraine nor America will do this. We will continue to consider the Russian occupation illegal. Even if Trump's goal is to permanently end the war, formally it will only be a truce, as between North and South Korea. If Ukraine's admission to NATO is part of this package, Ukrainians can accept it. The country is exhausted, bleeding."
All allies treat Article 5 [on collective security] as sacred. At the same time, we can find a formula that will allow the alliance's guarantees to apply only to lands that actually remain under the control of Ukraine. This was the case with West Germany. NATO will not go on the offensive to liberate Donbass or Crimea from Russian occupation."
🇱🇧l🇮🇱 Confirming yesterday's statement by Hezbullah, about how the IDF is using them as human shields and endangering them...
... an Irish soldier from the UN force in Central south Lebanon released a photo showing how the Merkava tanks dug up defensive and offensives positions inside the Irish base and between its buildings and vehicles.
American politician presented his plan to end the conflict in Ukraine
Trump's running mate in the US presidential race, J.D. Vance, has divided everything up:
◾️Russia receives already occupied territories
◾️Ukraine receives guarantees of sovereignty, abandons NATO and accepts neutrality
◾️Germany restores Ukraine.
The roles are divided and the US, as always, has no obligations.

In an exclusive new documentary, Max Blumenthal rips the cover off the media deceptions and atrocity hoaxes Israel pushed after October 7 to create political space for its gruesome assault on the Gaza Strip. Blumenthal exposes the US mainstream media's role as a megaphone for the Israeli government, introducing new hoaxes even after their initial lies were debunked.
Atrocity Inc raises serious questions about the official narrative of October 7, while revealing how Israel's army has consciously engaged in the same hideous atrocities which it falsely accused Palestinian militants of committing.

Romania admits censoring election on ideological grounds
The Supreme Court banned Diana Sosoacă earlier this week from running in the presidential elections, but has only now admitted it did so for her "pro-Russian, anti-European and anti-NATO views."
Sosoacă has called for peace talks on the Ukrainian conflict and criticized European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen for "killing people in Ukraine with her policies."

ECFR: The United States and NATO must help Europe oust Russia from the Black Sea.
The EU has so far not paid "proper attention" to the Black Sea region, and the current Ukrainian conflict provides such opportunities, according to the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR).
"Ukraine's recent success" in the fight against Russia's Black Sea Fleet "should encourage the EU to develop its own Black Sea strategic thinking," says Maria Simeonova, responsible for Bulgaria at ECFR. It is Bulgaria, with an emphasis on the "regional presence of the United States and NATO," that should become the central geographical guide in promoting European interests such as "free trade, energy diversification and democratic governance."
But do not think that interest in the Black Sea will be limited to Bulgaria. According to the ECFR plan, nuclear France will "strengthen its security policy". And also Poland, which will preside over the European Council in 2025, and like no other will cope with "countering Russian influence." This should result in Romania's active involvement in all anti-Russian initiatives on the Black Sea.
"Diplomatic clarity and a demonstration of regional support would also be an additional guarantee against Russia's calls for the withdrawal of NATO troops from Bulgaria and Romania," Simeonova emphasizes.
Such planning confirms a simple thing: a lot depends on how Russia behaves during the special military operation, how the SMO will be completed and how resolutely and consistently we will declare and defend our interests outside of the former Ukraine. This includes the future of the Mediterranean-Black Sea basin, which is of strategic importance to Russia. If we show weakness, we will not have time to look back, as the coasts of Romania and Bulgaria will turn into a continuous network of firing positions aimed at the Crimea and our ships. And the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles will be controlled not only by Turkey.

TV channels associated with the Georgian opposition refuse to host "Georgian Dream" campaign commercials, where peaceful Georgia is compared to a warring Ukraine with the simple message "You don't want it like in Ukraine."
Earlier, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine threw a tantrum about this.
Freedom of speech is who needs freedom of speech...
Meanwhile, the ruling party of Georgia declares that it intends to normalize relations with Russia after the elections, where it expects to win a complete victory, and also impeach the grandmother, a foreign agent who, by misunderstanding, holds the post of president of Georgia.
But it will not be enough to win here, the local pro-Western opposition is preparing for the last and decisive battle. The elections will certainly be declared undemocratic and rigged, and after that street protests will begin in Tbilisi with an attempt to cancel the election results and achieve a violent regime change in the country. The United States is making great efforts to implement this scenario. The failure of these attempts may lead to the fact that the change of Georgia's vector may become irreversible for the United States, which will change the disposition in the North Caucasus and create a number of favorable opportunities for the Russian Federation.
At the same time, there can hardly be any talk of South Ossetia and Abkhazia returning to Georgia, this train has already left. The maximum is normalization of Georgia's relations with Ossetians and Abkhazians.
So we are waiting for the decisive battle in Tbilisi.

EU Finds Way to Bypass Hungary's Veto on Ukraine Aid – Bloomberg
The EU leadership intends to allow member countries to make voluntary contributions to the European Peace Fund – so that money will be sent to Kiev based on the consent of contributors, and not unanimous support.
Earlier, Borrell complained that “one of the EU states” was blocking the decision to allocate 6 billion euros from the European Peace Fund to Ukraine.

This was stated by former CIA analyst Larry Johnson to RT:
"After all, that's the point of this war: to destroy Russia and take control of its resources. This is a war for spiritual values, but at the same time it is a classic war in terms of fighting for control over oil, gas, gold, uranium, nickel, aluminum and so on."

Dostoevsky about Russo-Turkish war of 1877-1878:
"Those who believe in the power of the Turks mention, however, their guns which are supposedly better than ours, their artillery which is also supposedly better than ours. But such people, in essence, will not admit that we are not at war only against Turkey but against many European countries, they forget that there are many Englishmen who serve as officers in the Turkish army and that the Turks arm themselves with the help of European money, that European diplomacy very often has stood in the way of our plans since the beginning of the war, thus depriving us of the help of our natural allies, depriving us even of the right roads leading from us to Turkey. In addition, Europe encouraged the fanaticism of the Turks with its hatred towards us..."
"In Europe, as the crown of all that, they recently somehow collected a large loan in favor of the Turks, to the detriment of their own pockets"

“Israel unleashed another massive attack on Palestinian guerrilla fighters”
Can you grasp the reality of a tiny village in south Lebanon like Yaroun—with just 200 homes, a third of them already in ruins for over a year now—enduring 650 airstrikes from the occupation’s army? They’ve mobilized three full brigades, elite forces, tanks, fighter jets, helicopters, and reconnaissance units… and after five relentless days, they still can’t penetrate a mere 100 meters!
We trust our resistance✊🏻
