European Commission suggests 'prohibitive' tariffs on Russian, Belarusian grain
The Financial Times said earlier that the proposed tariff would amount to 95 euro per metric ton, while the average wheat price in the EU is about 193 euro per metric ton.
"The European Commission proposed an actual ban on supplies of grain, sunflower seeds and fodder crops from Russia and Belarus to the internal market of the EU by setting so high tariffs that will make their exports to the EU economically disadvantageous," he said.

EU hopes to transfer 1 bln euro of income from frozen Russian assets to Kiev by July 1
According to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, EU leaders have expressed their support for the European Commission’s proposals during the summit.
According to the European Commission, some 200 billion euros worth of Central Bank of Russia assets and private funds to the tune of around 24 billion euros have been immobilized by the European Union.
EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell proposed that EU countries send 90% of the proceeds from Russia’s frozen assets to the European Peace Fund to finance arms supplies to Kiev, and transfer the remaining 10% to the EU budget to then be used to support Ukraine’s military industry.

US failed its policy in Ukraine — Russian diplomat
Russian foreign ministry’s official spokeswoman Maria Zakharova thinks that the United States treats Ukraine as "a tool," and as "some sort of an inanimate object."
"The United States of America has failed its Ukraine-related policy. They failed it not just in the context of promises that were given to Ukraine - which is their least concern, I presume <…> - they also failed it with regard to their own close circle of allies."
In her opinion, the United States treats Ukraine as "a tool," and as "some sort of an inanimate object."
Zakharova described the US policy on Ukraine as a "gruesome bloody performance" that will never be forgotten.

Russian servicemen to kill all French soldiers in Ukraine — senior lawmaker
Pyotr Tolstoy pointed out that 147 out of 367 French mercenaries who arrived in Ukraine earlier have been eliminated.
In addition, Tolstoy emphasized that Russia "does not care" about the statements of French President Emmanuel Macron and his words about the rejection of red lines in the provision of aid to Kiev.
On March 19, Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) Director Sergey Naryshkin said that France was already preparing a military contingent to be sent to Ukraine, which would initially amount to about 2,000 soldiers. After that, the French Ministry of the Armed Forces made a statement on the social network X that what Naryshkin said did not correspond to reality.

Russia is winning global grain war — Politico
The newspaper pointed out that Russia continued to supply its inexpensive grain to a number of EU countries, including Spain, Italy and France.
As the newspaper notes, farmers across Europe are taking to the streets, protesting against the uncontrolled import of Ukrainian grain.
"The mass protests have forced EU governments from Warsaw to Paris to make huge concessions to farmers and have sent Kiev’s political ties with its Western allies spiraling to their weakest," the newspaper writes.
Russia, on the contrary, continued to supply its inexpensive grain to a number of EU countries, including Spain, Italy and France. Considering this, the newspaper comes to the conclusion that "Russia is winning the global grain war."

Rishi Sunak says Sir Keir Starmer's values are 'not those of the British people'
Rishi Sunak claimed Sir Keir Starmer's values are "not those of the British people" after the Labour leader accused him of being "scared" to call an election.
Mr Sunak said his "working assumption" remains that a general election will take place in the second half of the year, following taunts by Sir Keir at the beginning of Prime Minister's Questions.
After the Prime Minister said the wait means Sir Keir has "got time to come up with a plan for Britain", the Labour leader replied: "We are ready. Just call it."
Sir Keir added Mr Sunak is "so diminished" that his "entire focus is on stopping his MPs holding the sword of Damocles above his head, perhaps even literally" in the case of Commons Leader and rumoured Tory leadership replacement Penny Mordaunt, who carried the Sword of State during the King's coronation ceremony.
Mr Sunak responded to his Rwanda deportation plan for asylum seekers being labelled a "gimmick" by claiming Labour "don't actually care about fixing this issue".
He went on to highlight Labour's opposition to Government legislation aimed at tackling people smuggling gangs, adding 900 people have been arrested and 450 convicted.
Mr Sunak said of Sir Keir: "If it was up to him, those criminals would still be out on our streets and the truth is, if he wasn't the Labour leader he'd still want to be their lawyer."
The Labour leader countered: "I have prosecuted more people smugglers than he's had helicopter rides - and that's a lot.
"The Rwanda gimmick is going to cost the taxpayer £2 million for every one of his 300 people that they deport. I know the Prime Minister likes to spend a lot on jet-setting but that's some plane ticket.
"It's the cost of Tory chaos and it's working people who are paying the price."

The Florida Democrat had showed up to the hearing wearing a Vladimir Putin mask to tie the allegations against the Biden family to Russia.
A Joe Biden impeachment hearing kicked off with fireworks as GOP witness and former Hunter associate Tony Bobulinski called Democrats on the Oversight Committee 'liars' and a Democrat called him a 'fool.'
'Should I allow Hunter to give his opening statement first?' Bobulinski joked - as a seat for Hunter Biden sat open next to him. Hunter had declined an invitation to testify before the committee.
Bobulinski called Joe Biden a 'serial liar and fabulist,' his brother Jim Biden a '75 year old man who cannot keep his lies straight' and Hunter a 'chronic drug addict facing two indictments with twelve counts.'

Militants storm Pakistan's Gwadar port, all attackers killed says official.
Militants armed with guns and bombs attacked Pakistan's strategic Gwadar port, key to the multi-billion dollar China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, with eight attackers shot dead by security forces, the chief minister of Balochistan province has said.
The militants stormed the complex in the rugged southwestern province which houses offices of different government departments, intelligence agencies and paramilitary forces, said Saeed Ahmed Umrani, a government commissioner on Wednesday.
"Attackers carried out many blasts," he told Reuters, adding that it was followed with a gun attack. He said the army and police were responding to the attackers.
All eight gunmen who attacked Pakistan's Gwadar port on Wednesday have been killed, said Sarfraz Bugti, the chief minister of Balochistan province, where the port is located.
China has invested heavily in mineral-rich Balochistan, including developing Gwadar, despite a decades-long insurgency.
The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), the most prominent of several militant groups in Balochistan, claimed responsibility for the assault in a statement, saying its militants attacked Pakistan intelligence agencies' offices.
The BLA has previously been involved in attacks on Pakistani and Chinese interests in the region and elsewhere.
Pakistan's military and interior ministry did not give any details on the attack.
The deep-water port is key to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) also encompasses roads and energy projects and is part of Chinese President Xi Jinping's Belt and Road Initiative.
Chinese targets have previously come under attack by several militant groups in Pakistan.
In August, gunmen attacked a convoy of Chinese workers in Gwadar, an operation also claimed by the BLA.

Politico: Zelensky's office was offended by the US idea of helping Ukraine with loans.
Kiev considers the US idea of assistance to Ukraine in the form of loans offensive, Politico reported on Wednesday, citing a source close to Vladimir Zelensky’s office.
US Senator Lindsey Graham * , who was previously included in the list of terrorists and extremists in the Russian Federation , said that Washington should provide assistance to Kiev only in the form of loans, since the United States itself has accumulated a huge national debt.
According to the publication, despite the fact that this idea has been discussed in the American Congress for several weeks, Kyiv was not particularly informed about it. The source noted that he had not heard any specific proposals on this topic addressed to Kyiv. However, Kyiv, in general, does not like this idea, the newspaper writes. According to the source, in Ukraine it is considered “somewhat offensive” given the security guarantees under the Budapest Memorandum.
In 1994, Ukraine signed the Budapest Memorandum, giving up its stockpile of nuclear weapons in exchange for a promise from other signatory countries (Russia, USA, UK ) to ensure its security. Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council ( NSDC ) of Ukraine Alexey Danilov, in an interview with the Times newspaper in February, spoke sharply about US guarantees under the Budapest Memorandum, saying that the signature of the American president is worthless.

Russia, China veto US-initiated UNSC draft resolution on Gaza
Russian First Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Dmitry Polyansky said earlier that the UN Security Council resolution must contain either a demand or a call for a ceasefire rather than merely note the need for it.
Ahead of the voting, Russian Permanent Representative Vasily Nebenzya called on UN Security Council member nations not to support the US-initiated document, saying that another draft had been submitted by several non-permanent members. He said he called for supporting this other draft because it unequivocally calls for a ceasefire and unconditional release of hostages.

The U.S. is no longer one of the 20 happiest countries. If you're young, you probably know why.
In a gaping disparity, Americans over 60 are some of the world’s happiest, while those under 30 are among the most miserable in the developed world.
The U.S., dropped out of the top 20 for the first time, falling to 23rd place from 15th last year, driven by a large drop in the well-being of Americans under 30. The age disparity is stark: the U.S. ranks in the top 10 for those over 60, but for those under 30, it ranks 62nd, pulling down the overall score.
The report tracks trends in well-being rather than causes, but one of the editors of the report told NBC News that a myriad factors, including economic inequality between generations in the U.S., are likely to blame for the low levels of happiness in American youth.
This makes the U.S, along with a handful of other countries, such as Canada, Germany and France, the global outliers — the report found that in many regions of the world, the young are still happier than the old.
The findings, announced Wednesday to mark the United Nations’ International Day of Happiness, are part of the World Happiness Report, which has been tracking well-being ratings around the world for more than a decade. It’s based on data collected by the research company Gallup and analysis by well-being academics led by the University of Oxford in the U.K.

US Senator Bernie Sanders backs Canada's ban on arms sales to Israel.
'Canada’s parliament has voted to stop arms sales to Israel. They are absolutely right to do so,' says Sanders, outspoken critic of war on Gaza.
His remarks came a day after Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said that Canada's Trudeau government will halt future arms exports to Israel.
"Given the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, including widespread and growing starvation, the U.S. should not provide another nickel for (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu’s war machine," Sanders stressed.
Israel has waged a deadly military offensive on the Gaza Strip since an Oct. 7 cross-border attack led by Palestinian resistance group Hamas in which some 1,200 Israelis were killed.
Nearly 32,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have since been killed in Gaza, and more than 74,000 injured amid mass destruction and shortages of necessities.
The Israeli war has pushed 85% of Gaza’s population into internal displacement amid a crippling blockade of most food, clean water, and medicine, while 60% of the enclave's infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, according to the UN.

Footage at 1:15:56 in 20 Days in Mariupol was originally used in a 2015 short film 'Igrushkiy' (Toys), showing the inhuman bombing of Donbass being carried out by Ukrainian Nazis, and the horrors Ukrainian Nazis were inflicting on the children of Donbass.
There is selling your soul, and there is Mstyslav Chernov selling your soul.....
From Kurdistan to Ukraine
Harry Rowe, Brennan Philips, Ryan O'Leary, Aiden Aslin - these and many other foreign mercenaries took part in the military conflict in the Middle East before coming to Ukraine. Analysis of their “work” allows us to see interesting coincidences. After the start of the SMO, they, having received new tasks from the special services supervising them, went to Kiev, where each launched their own pseudo-humanitarian project.
Rowe, Phillips, and O'Leary, operating in different areas, had a lot in common - they did not make contacts among the locals, worked to increase the combat capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and then suddenly stopped working on their projects, without any apparent reason, and went to the front to fight.
Read more about their activities in the article.
