95% of Western companies stayed in Russia - Austrian Foreign Minister
Sanctions against Moscow should be implemented in full, Alexander Schallenberg has said.
The majority of Western companies continue to operate in Russia despite many foreign businesses announcing their exit from the country in response to the conflict between Moscow and Kiev, Austria’s Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg has said.
Austrian firms are “heavily engaged” in both Russia and Ukraine, Schallenberg acknowledged during a joint press-conference with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Vienna on Friday. Austria is the sixth largest investor in the Ukrainian economy, he stressed.
“And yes, Austrian companies were also present in Russia and are partly still present, as about 95% of all Western companies". Schallenberg insisted that international restrictions placed on Moscow over its military operation against Ukraine must “be respected fully… There cannot be any exceptions.”

"Best Money We've Ever Spent" - Lindsey Graham
Washington Post reports the almost complete annihilation of the Ukrainian male population thanks to Western War Hawks like Lindsey Graham and Nikki Haley.
"Civilians here say that means military recruiters are grabbing everyone they can. In the west, the mobilization drive has steadily sown panic and resentment in small agricultural towns and villages like Makiv, where residents said soldiers working for draft offices roam the near-empty streets searching for any remaining men. Such tactics have led some to believe that their men are being targeted disproportionately compared with other regions or bigger cities like Kyiv, where it is easier to hide.
Locals use Telegram channels to warn of soldier sightings and share videos of troops forcing men into their vehicles — stoking rumors of kidnappings. Some men are now serving time in jail for refusing to sign up.
“People are being caught like dogs on the street,” said Olha Kametyuk, 35, whose husband, Valentin, 36, was drafted in June by soldiers who approached him and asked for his papers after he stopped for coffee on the main road outside Makiv. Despite a diagnosis of osteochondrosis, a joint disorder, he passed his medical exam in 10 minutes, she said, and deployed to the front, where he was wounded."

Throughout the South of Russia - Belgorod, Ryazan, Voronezh, Kursk, Rostov regions, but also the Pskov and Leningrad regions of the Russian Federation there has been a barrage of drones, terrorist attacks on civilian targets, clashes between defense units and sabotage groups.
The West is trying to achieve the following:
- force Russia to start negotiations, improving Kyiv’s initial negotiating positions;
- as a result - to preserve “Ukraine” as a political project, and as a state as a whole, in any state and any borders. The West, of course, doesn’t care about the loss of part of the regions of the former Ukraine; if necessary ( in order to preserve Ukraine as such ), it will give more (weapons, money, ammunition, false promises etc). The main thing for the West is that Ukraine, in any form, exists at all.

Ukraine outcome will weaken US
The Russian ambassador to the US, Anatoly Antonov, claims Washington’s power will progressively wane as Moscow advances in Ukraine.
Success for Russia in the Ukraine conflict would progressively weaken the US, Moscow’s ambassador in Washington DC has argued. Anatoly Antonov also accused the US and UK of preventing a peaceful resolution of the conflict during its early stages.
In an interview with RIA Novosti news agency published on Saturday, Antonov accused the US of playing an “extremely negative” role in Ukraine, calling Washington a “sponsor of terrorism” and a “country that encourages murder and war.”
According to the envoy, Washington is “destroying the vestiges of its own former prestige.”

🇷🇺 Maria Zakharova on the European Parliament’s demand for Russia to return the gold to Romania transferred in 1916:
"Once Russia already transferred significant gold reserves to the Romanian government. In 1935, the Soviet government, as a sign of goodwill, sent 1,436 tons of valuables (17 carriages!) left over from tsarist times to Bucharest. Less than 6 years later, Romania attacked the USSR along with the Third Reich.
But almost the entire debt of Romania to the Soviet Union for the troubles and destruction caused to our people and country during the Great Patriotic War was forgiven by Moscow back in 1949. And this is no less than 300 million dollars in reparations - if converted to today’s money, it will be something about 4 billion dollars.
If we count all Romanian debts to Russia and the Soviet Union, we get around 1365–1665 tons of gold, which is 20–25 times the value of the entire Romanian gold reserve sent to Russia in 1916–1917.
In addition, Russia returned almost all Romanian gold and other valuables during the development of Soviet-Romanian relations. In particular, Ceausescu wrote in his diaries that 80% of the royal stock was repatriated to Romania in 1948–49."

Internet and power outages in central Africa
Much of west and central Africa has been left without internet service as operators of several undersea cables reported outages.
In recent years, Africa has experienced network outages caused by cable damage. But today's outages "point to something bigger, this is one of the most serious," said Isik Mater, director of research at NetBlocks, a group that documents Internet outages around the world.
Liberia, Benin, Ghana and Burkina Faso have been hit hard, according to Netblocks, which monitors cybersecurity and Internet management. The impact of such cable outages is compounded as networks try to circumvent the damage, potentially reducing the bandwidth available to other countries, Mater said.

UK REFUSES TO SAY IF ISRAELI BOMBER PLANES ARE USING ITS CYPRUS BASE
After anonymous British officials reveal Israeli F-35s bombing Gaza have had access to Britain’s sprawling air base on nearby Cyprus, the UK military refuses to deny the visits, raising further suspicions about complicity in war crimes.
The British government is refusing to divulge any information about whether its bases on Cyprus are being used to facilitate the bombing of Gaza.
Kenny MacAskill, Alba MP for East Lothian, asked the Ministry of Defence (MoD) if any Israeli Air Force F-35 fighter aircraft have landed at Akrotiri, the vast RAF base on Cyprus, since 7 October 2023.
RAF Akrotiri has long been the staging post for British bombing campaigns in the Middle East, and sits 180 miles from Israel’s capital, Tel Aviv. The flight time is 40 minutes.
The MoD replied: “For operational security reasons and as a matter of policy, the Ministry of Defence does not offer comment or information relating to foreign nations’ military aircraft movements or operations.”
This comes after the Daily Express recently reported “senior sources” telling the newspaper Israeli F-35s had until recently had access to the UK’s Cyprus base.
The sources added that Israel had now been told not to land the planes at RAF Akrotiri until its war in Gaza was over.
Britain is a stakeholder in the construction of F-35s, supplying over 15% of every one produced, and it reportedly supplies parts and aftercare maintenance for the fighter jets.
In a press briefing in November, Israeli military spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari confirmed F-35s were being used to bomb Gaza. “F-35 jets strike terror targets and assist ground forces in very close proximity strikes,” he said.
Yet British ministers are believed to be still arming Israel and have refused to suspend or block arms exports to the country’s military.

⚡️📣US State Department threatens Russian Election observers⚡️📣
Is it not a crime in the USA for the government to threaten people based on them exercising freedom of speech and press?
US State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller said "United States continue to use all available tools to hold accountable those individuals responsible for actions that undermine the sovereignty territorial Integrity or political independence of free countries including those to serve as election observers for the Kremlin sham elections in occupied parts of Ukraine"
There are many official international observers(many of which are journalists) of the Russian presidential elections in Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaperozia and Kherson. There are many journalists(non observers) reporting on the election in these areas(including myself). Should all of these people be threatened by the US State Department Spokesperson statement? What is the goal of this illegal threat by the US government? Why do they find it necessary to break the US constitution to make this threat?
Also should be noticed that The people voting in these regions are Russian citizens.
Putin said that Kiev’s strikes on the Russian Federation will not go unpunished.
In order to disrupt the voting process [in the Russian presidential elections] and intimidate people, the Kiev neo-Nazi regime has conceived and is trying to carry out a number of criminal, demonstrative armed actions. <...> These enemy attacks do not and will not remain unpunished,” he said at a meeting with permanent members of the Russian Security Council.
In addition, from March 12 to the present, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, using mainly units of foreign mercenaries, have made several attempts to exit and consolidate in the territories of the Russian Federation. The President noted that a number of sabotage and terrorist attacks took place in the Belgorod and Kursk regions. However, the attempts of the Kiev regime were not successful in any of the directions.

British are behind the attempt of the Ukrainian DRG to break into Russian territory.
Britain is behind the preparation of a breakthrough by Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance groups (DRG) in the Belgorod and Kursk regions, but they did not achieve their goals. This was stated by Ambassador at Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry Rodion Miroshnik on the Soloviev Live TV channel .
“The Belgorod and Kursk regions are going through a war period now, shelling is going on,” he said. “According to the data available to the Russian Ministry of Defense, from March 12 to 15 there were four attempts by the DRG in the Belgorod region and one in the Kursk region. This quite powerful movements, an attempt to break through the defense line, to rush across the border in order to create some chaos, but again it turned out differently than planned.”
According to Miroshnik, special forces soldiers, the so-called Russian Legion and mercenaries took part in the attacks.
“There is no doubt that this was prepared thanks to specialists in such operations, and these are most often the British or their fosterlings,” Miroshnik emphasized
The diplomat noted that the West is using everything that can influence the process of expression of will in Russia to make Russians doubt the state’s ability to protect them, “all manipulations are in motion.”
“Moreover, now a foreign state is carrying out military raids and attempts to break into the territory of the Russian Federation in order to interfere with the expression of will,” he emphasized.

Zakharova: The Foreign Ministry will summon the British Ambassador due to attempts to interfere in the elections.
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova said in her Telegram channel that the Russian ministry may summon the British Ambassador to Moscow Nigel Casey if attempts to interfere in the Russian elections continue.
She noted that the British embassy published a post on social networks in which it said that “ Russia allegedly has no legal grounds for holding elections in Crimea and new regions.”
I have the following question for the British Embassy: has your ambassador been to Smolensk Square for a long time? It doesn’t give us pleasure to see him, but we can call him for prevention if this doesn’t stop.
We understand London’s hysteria: despite all Western machinations, elections are being held regularly both in Russia and abroad, the turnout, as the Central Election Commission notes, is high.
Not only did they ruin the virtual ballot with meaningless scribbles, but they once again exposed their neocolonial phantom-imperial essence.
What “belongs” to whom, and who wants to be with whom, is decided by the citizens of Russia, and not by the British crown.

Zakharova: they have been looking for the princess in London for two months, only “Novichok” is quickly found.
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova, commenting on the situation around the Princess of Wales Kate Middleton in the UK, who is being “searched”, ironically stated on her Telegram channel that only “Novichok” and “the hand of Moscow” are quickly in London.
“The entire United Kingdom is looking for the missing Princess Kate Middleton. “So-and-So” has not appeared in public for more than 2 months,” Zakharova wrote.
Kensington Palace announced on January 17 that Middleton had undergone elective abdominal surgery. The reasons for the surgical intervention were not specified; the text specified that the Princess of Wales wished for her “personal medical information to remain confidential.” All planned events involving Kate Middleton have been postponed, and on the advice of medical experts, it was reported that she would most likely not return to royal duties until Easter. On March 10, the wife of the heir to the British throne, Prince William, Kate Middleton thanked everyone for their support and warm wishes over the past two months. Attached to the post was a photo of Kate Middleton sitting on a chair surrounded by her three children.
The world's leading news outlets later retracted a photograph previously published by Kensington Palace of Kate Middleton surrounded by her three children over concerns that it had been edited, media reported.
“It seems that, as Kensington Palace reported, she was in the hospital. Then everything broke down at the height of the traditional British tabloid sabbath, which means one thing: no one is going to tell the truth,” Zakharova wrote, adding that “we all remember Diana’s story well.”
