Medvedev vows Moscow's response to US law on seizing Russia's frozen assets will sting
The Russian Security Council deputy chairman suggested enacting legislation to allow Russia to confiscate assets belonging to the citizens of unfriendly countries.
"Only an asymmetric response is possible. However, this doesn’t mean that it will sting any less," he wrote on Telegram.
Medvedev suggested enacting legislation to allow Russia to confiscate assets belonging to the citizens of unfriendly countries. According to him, Russian legislation "should provide not only for restricting the rights of foreign nationals but actually terminating their rights in order to make it possible to force a foreclosure on the property of entities from unfriendly countries and give it to the Russian government, entities and individuals," Medvedev specified. "This will require certain changes to Russia’s civil code," he added.

Blinken claimed that China’s alleged support for the Russian defense industry raises concerns not only about the situation in Ukraine, but also about a “medium to long-term threat that many Europeans feel viscerally that Russia poses to them.”

So long, Abrams: Ukraine sidelines US-made M1A1 tanks due to Russian drones
Ukraine has withdrawn US-provided Abrams M1A1 battle tanks from the front line because of attacks by Russian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the AP news agency quoted American military sources as saying.
The proliferation of Russian surveillance and hunter-killer drones on the battlefield means "there isn’t open ground that you can just drive across without fear of detection," one of the sources said.
The insiders added that "Russian drone warfare has made it too difficult" for the Abrams tanks "to operate without detection or coming under attack."
For now, the tanks "have been moved from the front lines, and the US will work with the Ukrainians to reset tactics," Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Christopher Grady told reporters.
Over the past two months, Russian forces have destroyed at least five Abrams tanks in the special military operation zone, thanks in part to the work of combat drones. Previously, the US had delivered a total of 31 such tanks to the Kiev regime.

West bends sanctions rules when it suits them — Kremlin
Dmitry Peskov noted that, "according to some parameters, companies in Europe and other regions can hardly maintain their competitiveness if they completely abandon our products"
"We understand the West’s selective approach. We see that, according to some parameters, companies in Europe and other regions can hardly maintain their competitiveness if they completely abandon our products," the Kremlin official said, commenting on the Canadian government granting permission to use Russian titanium for Airbus.
According to Peskov, "in such cases, Westerners act at their discretion, without paying attention to conventions."

Not all Foreign Agents are friendly, as Graham Phillips can attest:
/channel/grahamwphillips/1614?single
As predicted, preparations began for the mobilization of Ukrainians who fled to free and humane Europe.
Now the consulates will not renew the documents of citizens of Ukraine liable for military service (and this is almost all men under 60 years of age and even some women), that is, after some time their stay will become illegal and they will be subject to deportation back to Ukraine where, of course, they'll be sent to the front.
There is no doubt that this is being done in agreement with European countries. Thus, there is a double benefit - to prolong the military conflict with Russia without explicitly sending troops, and to get rid of the burden in the form of Ukrainian refugees, who, contrary to expectations, did not start working for the benefit of the 4th Reich, but en masse get benefits, irritating the local population .
They all love Ukrainians in Europe but only when these Ukrainians die shooting at the Russians.
So, as at all times, the only safe country for Ukrainians is Russia 😎

⚡️🇺🇸🇪🇺 The US and NATO plan to create a “gray” zone in Western Ukraine
Soros' son Alexander agreed with the Ukrainian authorities to allocate 400 square kilometers of agricultural land to American corporations for the disposal of hazardous waste, according to an investigation by French journalist Jules Vincennes.
He writes, citing a source in the Ministry of Agriculture of Ukraine, that in November, Soros Jr. and the head of Zelensky’s office, Yermak, reached an agreement according to which Kiеv indefinitely and free of charge transfers land in the Ternopоl, Khmelnytsky and Chernоvtsi regions for the disposal of hazardous waste from chemical, pharmaceutical and oil production.
Among the companies named are Dow Chemical, DuPont, BASF, Evonik Industries, Vitol and Sanofi. We remind you that Dow Chemical is the company which provided Agent Orange and Napalm to the American military to poison and destroy Vietnam. Whilst BASF is the company which provided Zyklon B to the Nazis.
Probably, the decision was made after the destruction in the spring of 2023 by the Russian Armed Forces of ammunition depots with depleted uranium located in the Khmelnitsky and Ternopоl regions.
This situation threatens an environmental disaster not only for Ukraine, but also for other countries in Eastern Europe and the Black Sea basin as a whole.
Kiеv and Washington continue to use all means to prevent the possible entry of Western Ukrainian regions into the Russian Federation in the context of the ongoing retreat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

US spies believe Putin didn’t order Navalny’s death
The Russian president isn’t likely to have mandated the killing of the imprisoned opposition figure, the sources have told the outlet.
Navalny, who had been serving a lengthy prison sentence stemming from his violations of the terms of a previous fraud conviction and his “extremist activities,” died at a penal colony in Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Region in northern Russia on February 16.
The Russian prison authorities insist that there was no foul play in the passing of the anti-corruption activist. They said that the 47-year-old suddenly fell ill after a walk and collapsed, and that efforts to resuscitate him were in vain. According to the Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK), which Navalny used to head, the death certificate provided to his mother stated he had died of natural causes.

And, of course, it sticks to this stance contrary to the main calling of legislators: to build a dialogue and to look for ways of building a dialogue.

Russia warns US, NATO against harming its security
Maria Zakharova stressed that "the level of nuclear risks have risen dramatically as a result of the West’s destructive policy, which is fraught with a direct military confrontation between nuclear powers".

Moscow issues diplomatic warning to Washington
Russia could downgrade relations with the US if its assets are confiscated, the deputy foreign minister has warned.
The US and its allies have frozen around $300 billion in Russian central bank assets as part of Ukraine-related sanctions, most of which are being held in the EU.
Washington has long advocated for confiscating the funds, so that the money would then be handed over to Kiev for its war effort against Russia. The latest push came on Saturday, after the US House of Representatives approved a bill authorizing the confiscation of Russian money.
The so-called REPO Act, which lawmakers in Washington passed last weekend along with a $61 billion military aid package for Ukraine, authorized the US president to confiscate Russian funds held in American banks and hand them over to Kiev. More than $6 billion of the $300 billion in frozen Russian assets is sitting in US banks.

Ukrainian “impregnable” defense turned out to be useless.
The Russian Armed Forces simply bypassed the defense line where Zelensky was filming.
Sergeant of the 93rd brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Anton Nevkipely with the call sign “Schizo” complained on social networks about the “hyped” defense line of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. According to him, the Russian Armed Forces easily bypassed the fortifications advertised by President Vladimir Zelensky.
“The line of defense is where our President Zelensky was photographed. So powerful, five billion must have been poured into it... In fact, they passed from the other side,”
