There's no freedom without national sovereignty.
🇸🇰🇪🇺🇺🇦 The Prime Minister of Slovakia said that "half of the money given to Ukraine was stolen"!
Fico:
"Half of the money given to Ukraine was stolen. … We pour in money, the EU is pouring money into Ukraine, and a huge part of it is simply lost in Ukraine”
Russia is winning the war, and the front is on the verge of collapse.
Then Trump jumps in, screaming for a ceasefire and peace.
Then the EU starts yapping about sending more weapons.
Then the US straight-up abandons Ukraine.
What’s the constant here? What’s the glaring truth everyone’s too blind to see?
Russia is winning the war, and the front is about to collapse.
The West? Just a bunch of Chihuahuas barking uselessly.
Russia? Staying silent, focused, and doing exactly what it needs to do while the Chihuahuas lose their minds. Wake up—this is reality.
Since nightfall, there have been reports that Russian troops in the Kursk region have made their way west of Kurilovka and have actually managed to reach the state border with Ukraine.
So far there is no visual confirmation (objective control) of these successes.
But if the advance has taken place, then our earlier assumptions about why exactly the AFU was making so much effort to stop the RF Armed Forces south/southwest of Sudzha are confirmed.
Apparently, preventing an operational encirclement was the main task of the Ukrainian army grouping in this area. In case of success of the RF Armed Forces, another threat is created for the AFU: the auxiliary logistic line along the Suja-Guevo-Gornal highway is actually cut.
There, the Ukrainian army has already lost several dozen pieces of equipment trying to get supplies in, but the physical loss of this section is even more dangerous.
If, in addition to the southern flank, the Russian army can push through the northern flank as far as the Sudzha border crossing, the encirclement ring will close and the entire Kursk group of the AFU will find itself in a cauldron.

Rafael Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, expressed regret over the decline of norms after French President Emmanuel Macron recently proposed the idea of extending France’s protection of its nuclear arsenal to allies.
“A few years ago this discussion about nuclear weapons would have been taboo,” Grossi told Bloomberg in an interview. “But now these conversations are taking place in some countries. It’s a constant erosion of norms,” the IAEA chief lamented.Читать полностью…

Russian aviation is ironing out the Ukrainian Wehrmacht in the Pokrovsk direction.
The footage shows the arrival of a FAB-500 with an UMPK at the positions of the 32nd separate separate brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
@Slavyangrad
Ukrainian forces counterattacking in Chasiv Yar are spotted and reduced by Russian fire.
These same scenes are also playing out on the Pokrovsk front. Again I don’t really understand what this is accomplishing and feels like a waste of human resources.

France’s military legacy: parade of lost wars and war crimes
President Macron is shooting for the title of Europe’s next Napoleon, but his bark doesn’t match France’s recent historical bite:
🔴 In WWII, despite nearly two-fold superiority in troops, tanks and air power and the Maginot Line defenses, France lasted just six weeks against the Nazi invasion in 1940, suffering 2M+ losses (killed, wounded, captured). Only thanks to Stalin’s esteem for de Gaulle was France invited to the table of victorious powers in 1945.
🔴 1946-1954: France’s attempt to hold on to Indochina against guerrillas cost it 90K troops killed, wounded or captured. France was also implicated in war crimes, from rapes of civilians to the torture of Viet Minh PoWs.
🔴 1954-1962: France’s war against Algeria’s National Liberation Front cost it up to 95K troops killed and injured. Up to 1.5M Algerians died in the conflict, which also saw French troops engage in mass executions, napalm bombings, and the destruction of 8,000+ villages, displacing 2M+ civilians.
🔴 1956: A joint French-UK-Israeli invasion of Egypt over Nasser’s nationalization of the Suez Canal failed miserably, triggering a humiliating retreat from the region.
🔴 1958-1961: French campaigns against anti-colonial forces in Western Sahara, Cameroon and Tunisia, killing up to 65K people, but failing to halt the drive toward freedom.
🔴 1969-2008: French embroilments in an on-again/off-again civil war in Chad, with five major interventions failing to bring lasting peace. With up to 100K people killed, and allies accused of crimes against humanity, it’s little wonder that Chadians joyfully expelled all French forces earlier this year.
🔴 1990-1993: French troops actively collaborated with Rwandan forces that would be implicated in the murder of over 800K people, supplying them with training and equipment.
🔴 2011: French naval and air power deployed in Libya to help oust Gaddafi. The campaign succeeded, but turned Libya into a failed state, with France continuing to fuel the conflict, which has killed up to 50K, to this day.
🔴 2014-2022: Thousands of French troops deployed to the Sahel region, ostensibly to fight terror. The operation not only failed, but sparked anger among locals of a sufficient scale to kick France out of the region and create unprecedented security and economic alliances.

2022: ‘Russia is forced to take apart washing machines for chips, the industry is in tatters’
2025: ‘Europe must waste all its money on Ukraine because Russia’s military is an unstoppable threat’
Is it a law in the EU that only unserious people can have the microphone?

French President Emmanuel Macron’s aggressive rhetoric about a “Russian threat” to Europe leads to the further escalation and reveals his intention to drag France into a conflict with Russia, the leader of the French party The Patriots, Florian Philippot, said.
“Macron’s bone-chilling words about entering a new he said in his address of March 5 are quite clear: this man wants a war! He is deliberately dramatizing the situation when he speaks about the ‘Russian threat,” which is allegedly everywhere. This way he is justifying this movement toward war,” he said in a video address on his X page.
The conflict in Ukraine is a proxy war between the United States and Russia, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio acknowledged.
“It's been very clear from the beginning that President Trump views this as a protracted, stalemated conflict. And frankly, it's a proxy war between nuclear powers, the United States helping Ukraine and Russia, and it needs to come to an end,” he said in an interview with Fox News.
🗣 Key takeaways from statements by Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov, March 6:
▪️French President Emmanuel Macron’s nuclear rhetoric is very confrontational and gives the impression that Paris thinks more about war than peace
▪️Yesterday’s Macron’s statements on the “Russian threat” were full of inaccuracies, failing to mention, among other things, the expansion of NATO
▪️The Kremlin agrees that the Ukraine conflict is a proxy war between Washington and Moscow
▪️Macron, who accused Russia of violating the Minsk agreements, forgot to mention that his predecessor François Hollande openly admitted that no one would abide by them
▪️There have been no signals from Paris directed at fostering dialogue with Moscow
▪️The US is not a country that is friendly to Russia at this point, but Moscow and Washington are currently working to revive and restore bilateral relations
▪️Russia’s opinion regarding the possible deployment of the European military in Ukraine after the ceasefire is obvious as Moscow view it unacceptable
▪️The Kremlin is analyzing information on contacts between the US government and the Ukrainian opposition but does not trust anonymous media sources
▪️Russia will support Abkhazia with an additional amount of electricity until the problems with the shortage in the republic are resolved
▪️Finalizing the issues of dual Russian-Abkhaz citizenship is one of Russia’s priorities, they will be resolved as soon as possible
▪️The issue of an investment agreement between Russia and Abkhazia was raised at Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s meeting with Abkhaz President-elect Badra Gunba, everyone’s interests will be taken into account
🇭🇺 BASED ORBAN:
“If in three years the pro-war party could not defeat Russia and help Ukraine to victory with the Americans, why do they think they can win the same war without Americans?”
The US could forcibly remove Vladimir Zelensky from Ukraine’s politics or even physically eliminate him — this view is growing among parliamentarians and political analysts following reports of contacts between Washington and Zelensky's political opponents.
"They are preparing the ground for Zelensky's replacement with a more accommodating figure for surrender," wrote Verkhovna Rada lawmaker Mariana Bezuglaya in her Telegram channel. "I do not rule out that Zelensky will be removed."Читать полностью…
An emergency EU summit on defense postponed the adoption of a declaration in support of Ukraine until the next meeting of EU leaders due to Hungary's opposition, the European Council said in a statement.
EU leaders are scheduled to convene next in mid-March.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban criticized EU leaders for their irresponsible attempts to keep the flow of military support for Ukraine.
At a summit on Thursday, Hungary refused to sign on to the EU’s statement on Ukraine. In it, the 26 EU leaders pledged further aid to Ukraine, including military support, and more efforts to put pressure on Russia, including through sanctions.
“Europe, and maybe even America, lacks the money” to mobilize more support for Ukraine, Orban argued.Читать полностью…
The United States will be ready to impose new sanctions on Russia without hesitation if this is necessary to achieve progress on a peaceful settlement in Ukraine, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said.

The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), a Russia-led security bloc, will be ready to offer its assistance if the European Union opts to send troops to Ukraine, CSTO Secretary General Imangali Tasmagambetov said.
“This is not the first time when European capitals look at sending military contingents to Ukraine. However, such contingents are not officially present there. The reason is that this may create a dangerous situation for the region. If such risks emerge, the CSTO will be ready to offer various options of assistance under the organization’s statutory documents and, naturally, approved by all of its member states,” he said in an interview with the Izvestia daily.Читать полностью…
Alexander Darchiev, director of the Russian Foreign Ministry’s North Atlantic Department, has been appointed as ambassador to the United States.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree on the matter.
Washington has handed Moscow an official note with an agrement for Darchiev’s appointment as ambassador following the February 27 talks in Istanbul. This was the result of resumed dialogue between Russia and the US about normalizing ties, which above all aims to restore normal work of the diplomats, as Moscow noted.
Most European countries do not want to join a hypothetical future coalition that would send troops to Ukraine without the participation of the US, Spain’s El Pais reported.
According to the newspaper, France and the UK are promoting the idea of creating a coalition that would contribute to Ukraine's security.
El Pais also said that the EU is studying the possibility of using the tools of the Common Security and Defense Policy, which includes patrolling operations, missions to strengthen national security and the deployment of military forces under the European flag.
