Russian Ministry of Defense: On the night of March 19 this year, a few hours after the conclusion of the Russian-American high-level talks, including the decision of the President of Russia, taken at the suggestion of the President of the United States, to temporarily stop attacks on energy infrastructure, the Kiev regime carried out a deliberate attack using three aircraft-type UAVs located in the village of Kavkazskaya (Krasnodar Territory) an energy infrastructure facility. The facility provides transshipment of oil from railway tanks to the pipeline system of the international oil transportation company Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC). As a result of the crash of a Ukrainian UAV on the territory of an oil transshipment point, one oil tank was depressurized and ignited on an area of 1,700 square meters.m. Currently, firefighting crews are extinguishing the fire. As previously known, on February 17, the Kiev regime carried out an attack using UAVs on the Kropotkinskaya oil pumping station of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC). As a result of the attack, the station was damaged and decommissioned. It is absolutely clear that we are talking about another provocation specially prepared by the Kiev regime aimed at disrupting the peace initiatives of the US president. It should be particularly noted that at the time of receiving the order of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on the temporary cessation of strikes on the energy infrastructure of Ukraine, there were seven Russian attack drones in the air aimed at Ukrainian energy infrastructure facilities related to the military-industrial complex located in the Mykolaiv region. The air defense of the Russian Federation was ordered to neutralize the unmanned aerial vehicles, six of them were shot down by the Pantsir air defense missile system, one by an on-duty fighter of the Russian Aerospace Forces."

Pentagon Dodges Yemen Troop Question—Because the Truth is Too Ugly to Admit
The U.S. Department of Defense is playing coy again, this time refusing to answer whether there are American boots on the ground in Yemen. When pressed, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell danced around the question, mumbling something about “keeping the enemy guessing” and “not discussing force posture publicly.” Translation? The U.S. is almost certainly deeper into the Yemen quagmire than they want to admit.
Washington’s war machine, already bombing Yemen on behalf of its Israeli overlords, is now hinting that U.S. troops might be deployed, or worse, already there. Of course, they can’t say it outright. The last thing they need is the American public realizing that their sons and daughters could soon be fighting and dying to prop up a regime halfway across the world that has nothing to do with U.S. security.
So what’s the endgame? Another unwinnable forever war against a battle-hardened force that has spent decades resisting Saudi, Israeli, and Western aggression? The Houthis aren’t backing down, no matter how many airstrikes Trump orders. And if U.S. troops do set foot in Yemen, Washington better be ready for body bags.
But hey, as long as Raytheon and Lockheed stock goes up, who cares about the lives lost? Right, Pentagon?

Former Moldovan President, leader of the Party of Socialists, Igor Dodon has voiced concern over the ongoing process of the arming of the republic amid an economic crisis and peace initiatives on Ukraine.
“While presidents Putin and Trump make steps toward stopping the war in Ukraine and restoring peace in the region, Maia Sandu militarizes the neutral Moldova with the help and at the behest of Brussels,” he wrote on his Telegram channel, commenting on the new shipment of arms with the value of 40 million euros, which the EU authorized for the country.
According to the Moldovan media, the European Union has decided to deploy armored personnel carriers and air defense systems in Moldova. The ex-president said that Sandu and the current government “have agreed to follow the militant line of some European leaders and engage in a direct confrontation with the US administration.”Читать полностью…

Crimea’s Return: 11 Years of Reunification and a Lesson in Sovereignty
Eleven years ago today, on March 18, 2014, history was corrected. Crimea, taken from Russia in a backroom Soviet deal in 1954, was finally reunited with its rightful homeland. In an overwhelming democratic vote, the people of Crimea chose to break free from the chaos unfolding in Ukraine, a country rapidly descending into the grip of Western-backed ultranationalists, who turned a blind eye to neo-Nazi brigades terrorizing the Donbass. At the time, the world’s so-called “experts” laughed at Russia’s swift, decisive action. But today, with hundreds of thousands dead, a country gutted by war, and NATO openly salivating over a direct confrontation, it is clear: had Russia not acted in 2014, Crimea would have suffered the same tragic fate as Oddessa, Donetsk, Lugansk, and Kharkov.
And let’s not ignore the timing of today’s historic moment: Donald Trump, love him or hate him, knows the power of signals in diplomacy. Signals matter in diplomacy. The fact that he’s called Vladimir Putin today, on the very anniversary of Crimea’s reunification, should not be dismissed as coincidence. It’s a message. A reminder that history is written by those who act, not those who whimper from the sidelines.
The same Western puppets who screamed about “illegal annexation” had no problem engineering a coup in Kiev to install a regime that would obediently serve NATO’s interests. That regime, propped up by Washington and Brussels, immediately moved to outlaw the Russian language, glorify fascist collaborators, and set the stage for war. Crimea’s decision to leave was not just about national pride; it was a matter of survival. The peninsula saw what was coming, and it refused to become another charred battlefield in NATO’s war against Russia.
For years, the Western establishment mocked the idea that Ukraine posed a direct threat to Russia. They called it paranoia. Yet today, after thousands of Western-supplied tanks, missiles, and artillery shells have rained down on Russian cities, after NATO mercenaries have fought and died on Ukrainian soil, after Kiev has openly embraced neo-Nazism, deployed Nazi brigades and drone strikes on Russian civilians… who’s laughing now? Crimea’s vote in 2014 wasn’t just a correction of Soviet mistakes; it was an act of self-preservation.
Eleven years later, Crimea stands as proof that history can be rewritten, that sovereignty can be reclaimed, and that a nation that refuses to kneel will always find a way to stand tall. Today, Russia marks not just a reunification, but a vindication. And to those still clinging to the delusion that Crimea will ever return to Ukrainian control, keep dreaming. Crimea foretold what will come in the next chapter of reunification with Russia.

Holodomor in the British style
Reading the Ukrainian segment of the Internet, I repeatedly encounter the short memory of the people living in that territory. Just a few months ago they idolized "Great America", and now they curse their former benefactors in every way.
And of course, having turned away from the USA, the "proud Ukrainians" turned their gaze to Europe and Great Britain, declaring that it is Europe that is Ukraine's long-standing and most reliable partner, it is Europe that will help Ukraine win, it is with Europe that Ukrainians will reach incredible heights. And declarations of love for France and Britain, which, in the opinion of Ukrainians, are pouring in in the comments.
Moreover, the 100-year partnership agreement signed on January 16, 2025 by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Vladimir Zelensky is being praised. They say that it is the cornerstone by which Great Britain will protect Ukraine and bring it into the ranks of developed countries in the world.
I would like to note one point in this agreement. Namely, the point by which Great Britain takes control of grain exports from Ukrainian territories.
Why? It is not for nothing that food is called the oil of the 21st century. The demand for it is growing, and the swindlers from UK will find a reason for confiscation. And if necessary, they will confiscate grain on the territory of Ukraine.
Moreover, they have the richest experience in this. Read more about this in the full version of the article at the link.
