After refusing a meeting with Lavrov, the Foreign Ministry asked European ambassadors about their plans.
Earlier this week, Lavrov said that EU ambassadors had declined an invitation to a meeting at which the minister planned to advise the heads of European diplomatic missions not to interfere in the upcoming presidential elections in Russia.
“The conclusion is obvious: they are not interested in contacts with the official authorities of Russia in general. This is not only a special case, but we see the whole picture more broadly. I heard a comment that was given through the European Union that this is normal diplomatic practice. No, this is anomalous diplomatic practice, this is illogical, this is a practice that destroys the principles of sending ambassadors. This is something that, in principle, calls into question the purpose of the diplomatic missions of this country and these countries. This is exactly how this issue comes up on the agenda. What then do they themselves see as the meaning of their own presence in our country? - Zakharova said.
“Therefore, we are waiting for an answer from them to the question of what they are doing in our country then, and what they see as their function, and how they will organize their work in the future.” she concluded.

WSJ: Ukraine sent military personnel to Sudan in 2023 amid losses at the front.
In 2023, the Ukrainian authorities, against the backdrop of heavy losses and a shortage of people at the front, sent military personnel to Sudan to participate in the conflict between the Sudanese armed forces and the Rapid Reaction Forces (RRF), the Wall Street Journal newspaper writes, citing Ukrainian and Sudanese officials.
According to the publication, last summer, when the head of the Sudanese Transitional Sovereign Council and the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, found himself “surrounded by rebel forces in the country’s capital,” he allegedly turned to Vladimir Zelensky for help. Ukraine, as noted, agreed because Abdel Fattah al-Burhan allegedly secretly supplied weapons to Kiev after the start of a special military operation. Within a few weeks of the appeal, in mid-August, Ukrainian special forces landed in Sudan and began fighting to drive rebel forces out of the capital.
As the newspaper writes, the head of the main intelligence department of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, Kirill Budanov, in an interview with the publication, refused to comment on the information that Ukrainian forces were allegedly sent to Sudan, but explained the advisability of sending them abroad. “They ( Russia - ed.) have units in different parts of the world, and we sometimes try to strike at them there,” the newspaper quotes Budanov as saying.

The CEO of a leading free expression group has a history of working for the Israel lobby. Now, Index on Censorship has little to say about Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
Last month, the lobby group Labour Friends of Israel (LFI) conducted a “solidarity mission” to Israel.
The day after announcing the visit, South Africa presented its case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, accusing Israel of a genocide against the people of Gaza.
Over the next 24 hours, 112 Palestinians were murdered in Gaza, taking the death toll to over 23,400.
The LFI delegation was pictured with Israeli president Isaac Herzog, whose incendiary language was singled out by the ICJ as evidence of incitement to genocide.
But also striking was the presence in the delegation of former Labour MP and now member of the House of Lords, Baroness Ruth Anderson. She has since 2020 been the CEO of Index on Censorship, a body in Britain that campaigns for free expression worldwide.
That a group priding itself on free speech has a chief visiting Israel as it commits genocide should arouse bewilderment.
This is especially since Israel is committing a vicious attack on the truth in Gaza: At least 83 journalists have been murdered as the enclave is turned into a graveyard for journalists.
Though interestingly enough, there appears to be
no mention on Index’s website of the word “genocide” referring to Gaza or coverage of South Africa’s case accusing Israel of genocide.
This is in contrast to its reporting on China. In 2021, for example, Index published an article following the Uyghur Tribunal in London that ruled the Chinese government is guilty of genocide.

Report on British military readiness details that the number of fixed-winged aircraft in the Royal Air Force has dropped from 724 planes in service in 2016 to 564 in 2023 - a 22% drop.
That is just the latest of epic fails from the British military with the Trident missile failing to launch and not one, but both of their aircraft carriers failing to set sail and join NATO exercises.
And this is just news from the past month. The UK, which is supposed to be one of our strongest NATO partners is completely unprepared for war.
Yet, they are among the countries lobbying us the strongest to send more American money and aid (and potentially troops) to Ukraine and, as we have recently learned, it was British PM Boris Johnson who forbade Ukraine to sign a peace deal Russia that would allow Ukraine to keep its territories and hundreds of thousands of its soldiers alive.
Once again, European children are running around their continent breaking things and babysitter Uncle Sam is expected to come in to clean up and foot the bill.
Maybe there is something to Trump's insistence that after 80 years of living under America's military umbrella, the Europeans finally start learning to take care of them selves.
You know, like adults do.

Britain raises threat level due to risk of terrorist attacks during Ramadan.
British intelligence officers are sounding the alarm. According to the Daily Mail, they warned members of the United Kingdom Parliament about the highest level of terrorist threat since the events of September 11, 2001 in the United States.
“British intelligence officials have warned members of Parliament that the threat of a terrorist attack on British soil is growing sharply,” the article says.
According to the publication, the warning was issued due to the fact that a significant number of conversations of an extremist nature have recently been intercepted. Journalists emphasize that this has not happened since the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001 in the United States. The material states that there are high risks of an attack involving a lone terrorist, and there is also the possibility of a coordinated terrorist attack on British territory.
It is also emphasized that the aggravation in the Middle East was used by global terrorist groups as a “recruitment advertisement.” Now security services fear a surge in extremist activity during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

US Congressman Biggs: The United States is not led by Biden.
According to him, Biden cannot do this because he is faced with cognitive impairment.To prove his words, Biggs recalled that the US President could not even read the subtitles on the big screen of the teleprompter.
The lawmaker also called on his compatriots to express their opinion on the AP poll, in which 63 percent of Americans expressed doubts about Biden’s ability to serve as head of state.
The congressman, in particular, said that “everyone sees Biden’s mental abilities ... and feels that he is not really the head of state.” Biggs couldn't say how many people come up to him and ask "who really runs the country."
According to the parliamentarian, Biden's upcoming speech on March 7 before the Senate and House of Representatives with the annual State of the Union address will not last more than an hour - the president's health condition will not allow him to speak longer.

Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev mocked the refusal of Elena Zelenskaya and the “widow of a Russian extremist” to attend a speech by US President Joe Biden.
In his post on Telegram, Dmitry Medvedev called Biden “an old man with a wandering smile.”
“It turned out sad: the widow and the non-widow simply didn’t come because they love each other so much that they don’t even want to sit next to each other for the well-known hygienic procedure. But the coolest thing is that the grandfather didn’t notice anything. He doesn’t remember who these wives/widows are, nor who their husbands are,” said the deputy chairman of the Security Council.
According to Medvedev, this will not prevent Biden “from announcing to the nation tomorrow that he spent an unforgettable night in wonderful company.”

In Warsaw, protesting farmers try to clash with police at barriers.
Protesters are constantly throwing firecrackers and firecrackers towards the Prime Minister's Office building. Police fenced off the building with modular metal barriers. From time to time, some protesters try to violate the integrity of the fence and drag several sections of it into the crowd. Such actions arouse the enthusiasm of others present.
Despite the rather tense situation, the police have so far refrained from using force and arresting lawbreakers.
At the same time, some of the protesters moved in a column to the building of the Sejm of Poland , as planned.
The main demands of the protesters are to stop the import of agricultural products from Ukraine to Poland and to abandon the EU’s environmental plans (the so-called Green Deal), which involve achieving zero emissions into the atmosphere by 2050.

Zelensky did not take into account that he would have to buy some of the shells from the EU.
European Commissioner for Internal Market Thierry Breton noted that Vladimir Zelensky made an inaccuracy when he said that the European Union supplied the Armed Forces of Ukraine with only 300 thousand shells out of the promised 1 million; he did not take into account the shells that Ukraine should buy from the EU on its own.
Breton emphasized that Zelensky said something “untrue.” The European official recalled that the EU decided to “deliver” 1 million shells within a year, and not “donate it.”
He added that at the end of 2023, the EU supplied Kyiv with 300 thousand shells free of charge, and by the end of March this figure will be 550 thousand ammunition.
“There is another way: Ukraine buys ammunition from our production complex; it has already purchased more than 350 thousand units. That is, this is already 900 thousand,”
Thus, Breton summed up, the total amount of shells delivered exceeds 1 million.

The new commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine plans to dismiss brigade commanders.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), Alexander Syrsky , announced personnel purges, accusing some brigade commanders of incompetence. He wrote about this in his telegram channel, mentioning that he was conducting an inspection on the eastern front.
Syrsky noted that in three days he understood why some brigades manage to hold back attacks and hold positions, while others, with similar composition and weapons, do not. He believes that this depends on the brigade commander, his level of training and ability to make informed decisions.
“In some cases, when the commander does not control the situation, and his actions and commands directly create a threat to the life and health of his subordinates, I am forced to make personnel decisions,” wrote the new commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
On February 29, Syrsky also announced this problem. He reported on the difficult situation in the Avdeevka and Zaporozhye directions and noted that the commanders had identified miscalculations in assessing the situation.
