NATO chief supports Ukraine’s use of Western weapons to attack Russia
"We don’t have any intention to send NATO ground troops into Ukraine," noted Jens Stoltenberg.
"The time has come for allies to consider whether they should lift some of the restrictions they have put on the use of weapons they have donated to Ukraine," Stoltenberg said in an interview with the Economist. "Especially now when a lot of the fighting is going on in Kharkov, close to the border [with Russia], to deny Ukraine the possibility of using these weapons against legitimate military targets on Russian territory makes it very hard for them to defend themselves."
However, Stoltenberg dismissed the idea that NATO members can use their air defense systems to shoot down Russian missiles over Ukraine. He also spoke against the alliance’s boots on the ground in Ukraine.

Western special services collaborate with terrorists to destabilize Central Asia
Sergey Naryshkin pointed out that "odious terrorist structures such as Al-Qaeda and ISIS are the spawn of the US and UK special services".
"Despite the rather shameful flight of the Americans from Afghanistan a few years ago, British and American special services still do not refuse to cooperate with underground terrorist groups in order to destabilize the situation not only in Afghanistan, but also in the neighboring states of Central Asia and the whole of Eurasia," he said.
Naryshkin pointed out that "odious terrorist structures such as Al-Qaeda (banned in Russia) and ISIS (the outdated name of the terrorist group Islamic State, IS, banned in Russia) are the spawn of the US and UK special services." "These special services have been using such terrorist organizations," he emphasized. "Syria is the most vivid, but by no means the only example, and Afghanistan is the most affected state in this regard."

West in disarray as Moscow seizes initiative in Ukraine, says Russian intel chief
According to Sergey Naryshkin, after a year and a half of "droning on about Russia’s so-called strategic defeat on the battlefield," Western politicians find themselves in a much different position today.
"Mixed and often conflicting statements and assessments regarding developments in Ukraine are coming from the West. The reason is that Western elites are pretty much in disarray after realizing the fact that all the strategic initiative on the battlefield has passed to the Russian Armed Forces," he pointed out.

The International Grains Council has raised its forecast for Russian wheat exports at the end of this agricultural season, as a result of which the country will occupy almost 26% of the world market for the first time.
Thus, the organization now expects that in the current agricultural year Russia will export 53.1 million tons of wheat against the April forecast of 52.1 million tons. This will be the maximum export volume in modern history and will be almost 10% more than last year.
Significant increases in exports from Russia and Argentina (by 5.9 million tons) were offset by declines in Australia (by 11.2 million tons), Canada (2.4 million) and the USA (1.3 million).
On March 20, Vladimir Putin announced at a meeting with trusted officials that Russia is the leader in wheat exports in the world. He noted that the industry is becoming more and more technologically advanced, and before “no one could have imagined that the export of agricultural products would be many times greater than the export of weapons.”

Georgian PM accuses EU of ‘blackmailing’ him with assassination threat
The bloc is trying to intimidate Georgia over its foreign agents law, Irakli Kobakhidze has said.
In a Facebook post on Thursday, Kobakhidze said that the unnamed commissioner warned him during a recent phone call that the West would take “a number of measures” against him if his government pressed ahead with a law requiring foreign NGOs in Georgia to disclose their funding.
“While listing these measures, he mentioned: ‘you see what happened to Fico, and you should be very careful’,” he wrote.

Western weapons supplied to Kiev already hit Russian civilian facilities — Lavrov
The Russian foreign minister explained that the Western countries "are waging a war against Russia" despite all the statements that they do not encourage or advise the use of weapons supplied to Kiev against Russian territory.
"American weapons are already being used against a wide variety of facilities outside the combat zone," Lavrov pointed out. "We proceed from the fact that American and other Western weapons are hitting targets on Russian territory, primarily civilian infrastructure and residential neighborhoods."
Lavrov dismissed as ploys the soothing statements "that the Americans are trying to present to their public opinion or to NATO members."

Ukrainian soldier surrenders in a stolen T-64 tank.
Likhachev Maxim Anatolyevich, born March 21, 1985 in Svatovo (LPR).
In the fall of 2022, he returned to Ukraine from Poland.
On 10/22/22, through the Svyatoshinsky TCC, he entered service in the 101st brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
A year later, on October 23, 2023, he transferred to the 110th brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
02/01/24 transferred to the 119th brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
From 03/01/24 until capture in the 59th brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Likhachev came over to the Russian side in the Donetsk direction in a stolen Ukrainian T-64 tank. He stole the tank because he thought it would be safer to get to Russian positions, where he was expected in advance by prior agreement. No one would shoot him in the back, as for other Armed Forces officers in the forward positions, everything looked like an ordinary tank combat action.
Whom Maxim met in Poland, after which he returned to Ukraine, why every brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine where he appeared suffered losses and what he will do now, Likhachev will soon tell in his own words.

All UK politicians Russophobic, elections not to change relations with Moscow
Dmitry Peskov has described the UK elections as its "internal affair"
According to the Kremlin official, a change in relations between the two counties is unlikely. "Currently, it is practically impossible to see any forces with a sober-minded approach in the UK’s political landscape," he said.
"All political forces are steeped in utter Russophobia and a belligerent attitude to our country. So, in the context of our relations, the elections won’t change a thing," the spokesman added.
Peskov has described the UK elections as its "internal affair." "And we never meddle in the domestic affairs of other countries, including the UK. And we do not tolerate it when other countries do this, including the UK," he stressed.

Threat of world war grows every day — Hungarian foreign minister
Peter Szijjarto recalled that the Hungarian government had long stated that it was impossible to resolve the Ukrainian conflict militarily.
He noted that "there has been no day without another crazy statement uttered by of some of the European politicians."
"There are those who want to send soldiers to Ukraine. Others are already speculating about the use of nuclear weapons. Every day the threat of a world war is getting closer," Szijjarto told a news conference after a meeting in Budapest with his Swiss counterpart Ignazio Cassis.
"We see what is happening: European politicians are making statements about the use of nuclear weapons. The Russians are conducting exercises involving tactical nuclear weapons," Szijjarto said. He believes that "the time has come to stop this madness."

🇫🇷🗞️ ❗️❗️ The French newspaper Le Figaro has published an unexpected article that shocked many of its readers. The publication's correspondent visited Donbass and told the French about things that are not usually covered in the Western media.
In Donetsk, the journalist visited the "Paradise" restaurant, which was recently heavily shelled by HIMARS missiles, killing three people and injuring 8 civilians. He described the results of AFU's work as a living hell, drawing irony from the name of the restaurant.
Even if not all attacks on the DPR capital are so deadly, they are taking place on an almost daily basis.... About 400 enemy drones fly over the outskirts of the city every day, the article said.
"The Ukrainians are looking for military targets. If they do not find them and cannot return their drone, they drop it on a civilian target, for example, on a car,"
"When we lived under Ukraine, we hoped every year that life would not get worse. Today we see that the situation is getting better every year",
