Sanctions against Moscow have damaged the European economy, while the Russian economy has only grown - Daily Mail

◾Western sanctions have failed to keep Russia from continuing hostilities in Ukraine and are causing more harm to Britain and Europe than to Moscow.
◾Western attempts to undermine the Kremlin's war effort by freezing funds, excluding Russian banks from international payment systems and stopping trade have only prompted Moscow to improve relations with other international partners, including China and Iran.

“Europe is shooting itself in the foot with its sanctions strategy and pushing Russia to move away from Western control mechanisms and become more independent,” Ksenia Kirkham, an economic warfare specialist at King’s College London.

Even Daily Mail is starting to post something resembling reality.

Remember when now former Defense Minister of Ukraine Oleksii Reznikov has "predicted" that Russian people will be faced with forced mobilization and closed borders in his New Years address to Russians people in perfect Russian two years ago?

Dmitry Medvedev on his Telegram channel:

"A discussion arose about whether it was time to recognize the so-called former Ukraine as a terrorist state at the international level. The discussion is quite scholastic. Why?

◾In fact, Ukraine is already a terrorist state that freely kills its own and (!) foreign citizens without consequences. It kills in cities and trenches, it even kills in prisons. This is obvious even to nasty fish-faced British women and senile men in big sneakers for stability on the White House lawn.
◾If sufficient evidence is received that scum like Azov, Budanov or Zelensky was behind the terrorist attack, they, of course, will not be tried in some stinking ICC. They don't judge their own Somos. So, on the pages of the Internet, carpet impotents in New York and other galactic garbage from dying newspapers are discussed. It is impossible to push through such a decision at the UN due to the Russophobic consensus and the Anglo-Saxon veto power in the Security Council.
◾What to do? Yes, just chop up Bandera’s pigs, as the USSR MGB did valiantly after the war. And the leaders should be eliminated when the opportunity arises. Like Konovalets and Bandera. In Kyiv or in another suitable place."

The West figured out how to maintain arms supplies to Ukraine during Trump’s victory - Politico

▪️The United States and other Western countries can transfer the contact group on Ukrainian defense issues (Ramstein format) under NATO control.
▪️The initiative is designed to help maintain arms supplies to Kiev in the event of Donald Trump returning to the White House, US and EU officials told the publication. The idea is to provide other countries in the bloc with a “stronger voice” in the decision-making process within the group, the source explained.
▪️The gradual transition of the group under NATO control is planned to be discussed at a meeting of the foreign ministers of the alliance countries in Brussels on April 3-4. This step, according to Politico, should be completed at the July NATO summit in Washington.
▪️The alliance is also working on the idea of a five-year aid package for Ukraine worth up to $100 billion in case of possible political changes. This proposal, called “Mission for Ukraine,” will also be discussed tomorrow.

It's amusing how scared of Trump's victory these desperate warmongers are.

There is a high risk of the front line collapsing in Ukraine, - POLITICO

▪️Officers said there was a high risk of the front line collapsing wherever Russian generals decided to concentrate their offensive. Moreover, thanks to much greater numerical superiority and controlled air bombs that have been destroying Ukrainian positions for several weeks now, Russia will likely be able to “break through the front line and destroy it in some parts.
▪️The longer the war continues, the more territory Russia will gain until they reach the Dnieper. However, if the war lasts long enough, Odessa will fall too.
▪️Russia is calculating where best to position its S-400 missile and radar systems to maximize the area they can cover to engage F-16s, keeping them away from the front lines and Russian logistics hubs.

Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate is preparing a new terrorist attack on the Crimean Bridge - The Guardian

▪️The Ukrainian GUR threatens a new terrorist attack: in the first half of 2024, the enemy is preparing a drone raid on the Crimean Bridge.
▪️According to Ukrainian intelligence, Kyiv has “most of the funds” to carry out its plans.
▪️Before this, the bridge was hit twice and restored.

Ukraine's, or rather most likely UK's obsession with the Kerch bridge is breathtaking. The British intelligence already admitted that the bridge is used for civilian traffic only. This will not affect the supply lines of the front in any way and should be considered pure terrorism.

Over the last 10 days, about 16,000 Russians have signed contracts to participate in the SMO - the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

Since the beginning of this year, more than 100 thousand people have already entered military service under contract in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Every day, up to 1,700 people come to contract selection centers across the country to enlist in the military.

Feeble attempts to sow the discord in Russian society have produced the opposite effect on every step of NATO escalation ladder from arming the criminal regime in Kiev to committing atrocious terrorist acts on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Remember that time Kyrylo Budanov said that "purely psychologically, we [Ukraine] already took Crimea" in June 2023.

There are reasons why neo-nazis from all over the world, including those that got kicked out of Russia, flock to Ukraine. One of them being that they are not just tolerated, but actually supported by the current government, military brass, and their Western handlers.
