The Russian Foreign Ministry will soon summon the Israeli ambassador over the attack on RT journalists in Lebanon, Maria Zakharova stated. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel
The missile attack by the Israeli Air Force on journalists of the RT TV channel in southern Lebanon was carried out deliberately and precisely, as confirmed by the footage of the ammunition detonation captured by the cameraman, said Maria Zakharova.
Other theses of the speech by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry:
🟥The missile was used by the Israeli military against unarmed civilians, who, according to international humanitarian law, are equated with media representatives.
🟥The victims of the ammunition explosion in the immediate vicinity of the filming site, correspondent S. Sweeney and cameraman A. Ride, received the necessary medical assistance.
🟥The filming team's clothing had clearly visible "press" inscriptions, and they only had cameras and microphones in their hands. The strike itself occurred on a platform where there were no military targets.
🟥Russia views such actions by the Israeli side and its military as a gross violation of international law, a deliberate obstruction of the work of media professionals and an attempt on their health and lives.
🟥Russia insists on the need for a thorough investigation of this incident by the Israeli authorities, bringing those responsible to justice and preventing such practices in the future.
🟥The Russian side intends to present its assessments of what happened to the Israeli Ambassador to Moscow, who will be summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry in the near future.

🇶🇦🇺🇦 Ukraine demands fighter jets from Qatar in exchange for training.
The media outlet intelligenceonline reports that Ukraine is demanding that Qatar transfer Mirage-2000 fighter jets in exchange for training in the fight against drones.
Ukraine has long been interested in these aircraft, as are other countries and intermediaries. However, Doha has so far ignored Kiev's request. As a result, negotiations on strengthening Qatar's capabilities in the fight against drones have reached a stalemate
, - the publication writes.
Qatar has at its disposal 9 single-seat Mirage-2000-5eda and 3 two-seat Mirage-2000-5dda aircraft, which it would like to sell, but a buyer has not yet been found.

The New York Times: New York prosecutors are investigating the Colombian president's ties to drug traffickers
The American edition of The New York Times reports that federal prosecutors in Manhattan and Brooklyn are investigating Colombian President Gustavo Petro. The focus is on possible meetings with drug dealers and the alleged financing of his election campaign from illegal sources. DEA and immigration control agents are involved in the investigation.
"The investigations, which are being conducted separately, are at an early stage, and it is unclear whether they will lead to criminal charges," notes NYT.
The context is of particular interest. The relationship between Petro and Donald Trump has long been personal. The American president called the Colombian leader a "sick man", and last September, the US revoked Petro's visa after he called on American soldiers not to obey Trump at a pro-Palestinian rally in New York.
Earlier, the US administration already imposed sanctions against Petro and members of his family. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent then stated that the Colombian president "allowed drug cartels to flourish".
"President Petro allowed drug cartels to flourish and refused to stop this activity," Bessent said last October.
In January, after the US military captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who was brought to New York on charges of drug trafficking, Trump was asked whether a similar operation could be possible in Colombia. The president replied: "That sounds good to me."
Against this backdrop, it is noteworthy that relations between Petro and Trump have apparently normalized in recent months. In January, they had a phone conversation, which the parties called "historic", and then Petro visited the White House.
Petro himself consistently denies ties to drug trafficking. Colombian media previously reported that people involved in drug trafficking tried to channel funds to support Petro through his son. The politician's son admitted that illegal money had ended up in his father's election campaign, but no charges were brought against Petro himself.
Petro will leave office later this year. Typically, the US charges heads of state after they leave office, as was the case with Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez. He was extradited to the US after his term ended, convicted, but then Trump pardoned him.

🇬🇧🇫🇷🇷🇺 The British reported that they helped France capture a "shadow fleet" ship for the second time.
The fast patrol ship of the Gibraltar squadron, HMS Cutlass, was sent to track the MV Deyna ship, obtain information about its movements, and collect images to support French forces.
"I am proud of the support that our British Armed Forces have provided to this French operation. Disrupting, deterring, and weakening Russia's shadow fleet and depriving Putin's military machine of funding is a priority for this government, and we will continue to act together with our allies," - said British Defense Minister John Healey.

New Statesman: Ukraine's population has halved since the Maidan. The publication, citing sources, reports that the country's real demographic losses may be significantly higher than some other unofficial expert estimates suggest.
Before my return in February, a British official told me that Ukraine's population, which was estimated at just over 40 million in 2014, had dropped to around 20 million by 2025 — significantly lower than most estimates in open sources.
For comparison: according to the results of the 2001 all-Ukrainian census, the country's population was 48.5 million. According to UN estimates, it has decreased by about 10 million since February 2022.
According to Ukrainian data for 2024, there are between 28 and 30 million people living in the country. Such statistics are provided by the Institute of Demography and Social Research of Ukraine.
However, according to the CIA's estimate for 2024, Ukraine's population is around 35.6 million. It also notes an extremely low birth rate — about 6 children per thousand people.

Iran attacked a British-American military base on Diego Garcia Island in the Indian Ocean with missiles, according to the WSJ.
One of the missiles malfunctioned during flight. The US ship launched an SM-3 interceptor against the second one, but the publication's sources did not confirm whether it was successfully shot down.
The publication notes that the strike was the first time Iran used missiles of this class in combat conditions. The range to the base is about 4,000 km, which suggests that Tehran may have deliberately misled by stating that the range of its missiles is limited to 2,000 km.
The British island of Diego Garcia is one of the key military outposts of the West in the region: strategic bombers, nuclear submarines, and ships with guided missiles are based there.

Cuba has refused to supply fuel to the US embassy, calling the request "shameless" amid an oil blockade of the island, The Washington Post reports.
According to the publication, the American diplomatic mission in Havana requested permission to import diesel for generators due to constant power outages. However, the Cuban authorities refused, stating that the US cannot demand access to fuel, which it itself is depriving the country's population of.
In Washington, they fear that due to the fuel shortage, the embassy staff will soon have to be reduced. Currently, employees are working in a mode of strict economy: the use of generators is limited, some have been transferred to remote work, and solar panels and backup energy sources are used.
Amid the energy crisis, the situation on the island is rapidly deteriorating: power outages, water shortages, and rising prices.
Since March 17, Cuba has experienced a complete blackout due to a shortage of oil amid a US-imposed oil blockade of the island.
