๐บ๐ฆ Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has said that Ukraine's economy will be "destroyed" if it does not receive new air defence systems from the West immediately.
It's almost as if his new "harsh" methods of so-called "diplomacy" - a.k.a. aggressive and arrogant demands - just aren't working...

What's inside the $95 billion House package focused on aiding Ukraine and Israel
The package totals $95.3 billion in spending, which matches the total that the Senate passed in mid-February. But there are also a few differences with the Senate bill designed to win over some House conservatives.
Let's have a look at how our money will be pissed away this time then, shall we?
The aid to support Ukraine totals about $61 billion. Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee said that more than a third of that amount would be dedicated to replenishing weapons and ammunition systems for the US military.
The overall amount of money provided to Ukraine for the purchase of weapons from the US is roughly the same in the House and Senate bills - $13.8 billion.
The main difference between the two packages is that the House bill provides more than $9 billion in economic assistance to Ukraine in the form of "forgivable loans." The Senate bill included no such provision seeking repayment.
With Zelensky signing the mobilization Bill and making Ukrainians practically serfs, I guess the House feels more confident providing them with more money. Provide the meat and we will bring the ketchup. This is perhaps the most cruel bit. It'll give the illegitimate Ukrainian government an excuse to continue pushing young men to death with more promises of victory. That policy had failed catastrophically and is about to get worse. Whatever is left of that country will disappear, whatever men are left will die.
Aid in the legislation to support Israel and provide humanitarian relief to citizens of Gaza comes to more than $26 billion. The amount of money dedicated to replenishing Israel's missile defense systems totals about $4 billion in the House and Senate bills. An additional $2.4 billion for current US military operations in the regions is also the same in both bills.
Some conservatives have been critical of the aid for Gaza. At the end of the day, though, Johnson risked losing critical Democratic support for the package if Republicans had excluded it. The humanitarian assistance comes to more than $9 billion for Gaza, where millions of Palestinians face starvation, lack of clean water and disease outbreaks.
Our government simply cannot resist sponsoring more suffering in the Middle-East, it's just not in their DNA. As you are starting to notice, there's little difference between this and the Senate proposed Bill from before. So Mike Johnson didn't do any of it on principle. That's for those of you who hailed Johnson as some kind of GOP hero. He ain't. He's just another hack.
The investments to counter China and ensure a strong deterrence in the region come to about $8 billion. The overall amount of money and the investments in the two bills is about the same with a quarter of funds used to replenish weapons and ammunition systems that had been provided to Taiwan.
And finally, of course, there's some cash to support Taiwan's separatism. You can call it an investment into a future war.
Overall, it's nearly $100 billion going to our assets in Taiwan, the Jewish ethno-nationalist state and the Ukrainian oligarchs. I will keep a close eye on who voted for this on Saturday when the vote will take place and so should you, maybe then we can all stop deluding ourselves about the GOP having our back. They don't, none of these people do! Whatever they say about conditions of protecting the border or whatever is a show, nothing more. It's a bone they throw to the dogs so they don't bite them, but instead bite each other in a never-ending "culture war," which is tearing our country apart. Someone is benefiting from this, but it sure as hell ain't you. Neither is it Ukrainians, for whom this means more suffering, death and destruction. Neither is it the Middle-East, nor Taiwan, who will, in time, realize they too are about to be used in another US empire-maintaining proxy war, while US assets try to convince them they are fighting against the "tyrannical Chinese regime."

๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ฆ The US fears retaliatory strikes from Russia, but Kiev is ignoring warnings from the States to cease strikes against the Russian Federation, according to the Economist.
Ukraine has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in long-range drones capable of hitting distant targets. Currently, about half a dozen companies produce them.
The US is concerned about rising oil prices, potential retaliatory strikes, and uncontrolled confrontation, which could leave Kiev at a disadvantage.
Major concerns heightened in late March when Russia inflicted damage worth millions of dollars to Ukraine's energy infrastructure. The attacks revealed gaps in air defense systems and vulnerability to the new Russian low-altitude cruise missile X-69, which destroyed the Tripolye thermal power plant despite being within the range of Patriot air defense systems.

A horrific video is circulating online. It features a man speaking in Turkish with an Arabic accent, talking about the arrival of 10 girls from Ukraine. He promises two of them, "the most beautiful" ones, to a man named Abu Jaffar
The video shows the passports of Ukrainian women who appear to have been sold as sex slaves to foreign countries, and a girl kneeling in the human trafficker's room.
Users have noted that the accent of the speaker seems similar to that of residents of Aleppo Province. It is likely that he is a mercenary with the "Syrian National Army", an auxiliary force of the Turkish Armed Forces.

๐ท๐บ๐บ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฑThe SBU says that together with Polish law enforcement officers they exposed a Pole who proposed an assasination attempt on Zelenskyโs life to the Russian special services.
As the secret service's TG channel writes, we are talking about a Polish citizen who collected information about the security of the Rzeszow-Jasionka airport. This, as stated by the SBU, was supposed to help the Russian special services โplan an assassination attempt on the President of Ukraine during his stay in Poland.โ
The agent has already been detained; Polish prosecutors have charged him with โreadiness to act in favor of a foreign intelligence service.โ

๐ช๐ช๐ท๐บEstonia will win the war with Russia, said the head of the Estonian Defense Forces, General Martin Herem, at a meeting of the Presidium of the Academy of Sciences, ERR reports.
โThe result of the Russian attack will be our military victory - 20,000 dead on their side and only 1,000 on ours,โ he said.
At the same time, the general explained that we are talking about a hypothetical threat of war.
โAt the moment, I do not see a military threat directly beyond our border. Estonia has enough time to prepare if the threat increases,โ Herem said.
At the same time, according to him, โRussiaโs modern military machine works so well that if the Russian Federation wants to conduct one month-long military operation against Estonia, Latvia or Lithuania, it will not need special preparation for this.โ
