Europe is in ‘pre-war era’ – NATO country’s PM
The world is now facing the most critical moment since the end of World War II, the Polish prime minister has said.
Europe has entered a “pre-war era” in which any scenario is possible and the threat of war is no longer a thing of the past, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said in an interview with European media outlets on Friday.
Tusk was asked whether war is inevitable in light of recent remarks from a number of Western politicians about Russia potentially attacking NATO. He replied that “literally any scenario is possible.”
“I don’t want to scare anyone, but war is no longer a thing of the past. It is real and in fact it started over two years ago,” Tusk said.
“I understand that it will sound devastating, especially to the younger generation, but we have to mentally prepare for the arrival of a new era. We are in a pre-war era. I am not exaggerating.”

Russia does not threaten NATO, but there should be buffer zone in Ukraine — Orban
The Hungarian prime minister said that it would be ideal for Ukraine to create a buffer zone with security guarantees.
There is no risk of a Russian attack on a NATO member country, Orban said. Speaking about Ukraine, he also noted that Moscow would never agree to that country’s admission to NATO because this would bring the alliance closer to Russia's borders.
The Hungarian prime minister suggested taking a look at the political map and said that it would be ideal for Ukraine, as Russia's near neighbor, to create a buffer zone with security guarantees, because if that did not happen, Ukrainians could lose their country altogether.
Schuessel disagreed, arguing that the West should immediately start negotiations with Ukraine on its admission not only to the European Union but also to NATO.

Is Ben Stimson a plant working for British Intelligence?
It would appear this individual, condemned to 5 years in prison, though only served 4, is in direct communication with Aiden Aslin and spreading rumours and allegations without providing evidence in an apparent effort to discredit individuals the West would rather people didn't listen to.
The recent media attention and the words of condemnation from the British Press would provide plausible distance and cover the fact that Stimson is in fact operating in the interests of HM Government.
Did Stimson cut a deal in exchange for early release? Was one of those conditions to contact numerous journalists not liked by the West, attempting to befriend them and ultimately work his way 'behind enemy lines'?

Ukraine censoring information – US State Department
Allowing bad news to occasionally slip through would be better than fostering a climate of total control, a senior diplomat has said.
The Ukrainian government should be more open with the public about communicating hard truths about the battlefield situation, a senior US State Department official has said.
In an interview with Politico on Thursday, James Rubin, who leads the Global Engagement Center, a US agency tasked with exposing and countering disinformation, noted that while Ukraine is “moving in the right direction,” it is not yet “a fully-fledged democracy,” which implies certain constraints for media in the country.
In light of this, officials in Kiev “may [sometimes] resist the kind of freedom of information that’s normal for us,” he said.

If Russian interests are respected, Moscow ready to guarantee the same - Lavrov on Ukraine
The Russian foreign minister said that negotiations cannot be based on the 'peace formula' proposed by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and promoted by Europe and the United States.
Lavrov added that China’s plan for Ukrainian settlement mentions the need to lift unilateral Western sanctions, imposed long before the start of Russia’s special military operation, because they are a major irritant.
"This should serve as a basis for negotiations aimed at ensuring - this was the key provision - equal security to all participants in this process. This is our stance," the minister said. "Ways of putting these principles into practice can be found only at the negotiating table."

Washington turns to Ankara to ramp up shell production - Bloomberg
Unlike the EU, the US is willing to buy Turkish explosives to arm Ukraine, the outlet has reported.
The US is planning to increase purchases of military-grade explosives from Türkiye to ramp up production of artillery shells, after its stockpiles were drained by the Ukraine conflict, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday.
Western nations are struggling to supply enough munitions to Kiev to sustain its fight against Russia. A global surge in demand for weapons components has undermined efforts by the US and its allies to produce more artillery shells for Ukraine.
The US is already relying on Türkiye to replenish munitions stockpiles and intends to purchase Turkish-made propellants trinitrotoluene and nitroguanidine to deliver on its plans for domestic defense manufacturing, Bloomberg said citing anonymous officials.
