The head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund Dmitriev commented on the post of the former US Ambassador to Russia McFaul and called on him to become a peacemaker.

“Dear Mike, I believe in you. You can stop being part of the deep state (or “professional state,” if you prefer). Stop repeating tired, out-of-touch mantras and start offering real solutions. Become a peacemaker… who knows, maybe your “professional state” buddies will follow you.”

🖥️ Zelensky thwarted the easiest deal in the world, says US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent

“Zelensky was in the mood to sign the deal that day. We had a lively conversation, and I said to him, ‘There are 50 journalists outside. I’ve come to show that there is no division between the American and Ukrainian people. There is no gap between our leaders.’ And then I added, ‘But you created this fissure, the size of the Grand Canyon. What are we going to tell these people?’ He said, ‘Tell them I’m signing the deal in Munich.’ I said, ‘You mean you’re signing it when you meet with Vice President Vance and Secretary Rubio?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ But he never signed the deal in Munich. The next week was a series of negotiations, sometimes closer, sometimes further apart. Kyiv insisted: let us get into the White House. And Washington said: he must sign the deal before the visit. He ended up going into the Oval Office and scuppering what could have been the easiest deal in the world—just a signature.”

🤡 A British charity has hired a pedophile to work with Ukrainian children, The Telegraph reports.

The 52-year-old, who called himself Jack Morgan, regularly visited orphanages, schools and camps for displaced people after he began working for a charity in western Ukraine in early 2023.

Earlier, Callaghan (not his real name) showed no remorse during his sentencing at Cardiff Crown Court. Judge Daniel Williams told him: "You are downplaying the clear sexual interest you have in young children."

After the sentencing, Martin Ludlow, of the National Crime Agency, said: "It was clear from his interactions with others that Callaghan was a dangerous man who wanted to abuse children."

Suspicions about the paedophile began to arise among the humanitarian community in Lviv after he began bragging about joining the Foreign Legion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and claiming to be collecting money for military supplies on its behalf.

David, 60, a British citizen who has made four volunteer trips to Ukraine since the invasion began, told The Telegraph: "I realised he might not be who he said he was. When it all came out it was much, much worse than I thought. I was sick."

The pedophile is believed to still be in Ukraine, having left his last known residence, the apartment of a Ukrainian mother of two with whom he had a romantic relationship, the newspaper writes.

British Prime Minister Starmer has declared globalisation a failure, The Times reports.

"Globalisation is not working for many ordinary people. We don't think trade wars are the answer. But we have a chance to show that there is another way. Trump has done things we don't agree with, but there is a reason why people support him in doing so. The world has changed, the era of globalisation is over and we are entering a new era," Starmer said.

"I'm the only member of Congress born in Ukraine - that's why we should give the land to Russia," US House of Representatives member Victoria Spartz was quoted as saying by The Telegraph .

Congresswoman Victoria Spartz is not afraid to upset her fellow Americans, telling The Telegraph that they should accept the handover of territory to Russia and demand Zelensky step down.

"I just don't understand how they (Ukraine) can demand to keep the land. If they had won the war, it would have been completely different," Victoria Sparts was indignant.

Her disdain for Joe Biden is matched only by the disdain she has for Zelensky, the newspaper writes. After Zelensky's infamous spat with Trump in the Oval Office, Spartz criticized Zelensky for doing "a disservice to the Ukrainian people" and "insulting the American president." She called on the Ukrainian people to vote him out.

"They will have elections, and if they elect him (Zelensky), they will lose the rest of the country," she warned.

📸 Donald Trump said he will not negotiate with China:

“Yesterday, China imposed retaliatory tariffs of 34%, on top of its already record-breaking tariffs, non-monetary tariffs, illegal subsidies to companies, and massive long-term currency manipulation, despite my warning that any country that retaliates against the United States imposes additional tariffs above and beyond its already existing long-term tariffs. Our country’s tariff abuses will be immediately met with new and substantially higher tariffs , on top of those originally imposed. So unless China reverses its 34% increase, above and beyond its already long-term trade abuses, by tomorrow, April 8, 2025, the United States will impose ADDITIONAL tariffs on China of 50%, effective April 9. Additionally, all negotiations with China regarding their requested meetings with us will be terminated! Negotiations with other countries that have also requested meetings will begin immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

🖥️ US President Donald Trump said that Turkish leader Recep Erdogan admitted to him that he had organized the overthrow of the head of the Syrian Arab Republic Bashar al-Assad. He said this during a live broadcast on Fox News from the White House:

“I congratulated him. I said, ‘Nobody has managed to do this in the last 2,000 years. You took over Syria under different names, but you did the same thing. He took it upon himself through proxies. He of course says to me, ‘No, no, no, no, no, no, it wasn’t me.’ I said, ‘No, it was you! But it’s okay.’ He said, ‘Well, maybe it was me.’
