Hungary has added to the Russian list of unfriendly countries - they have joined all the EU sanctions, they are slowly training and supplying Ukrainian soldiers. Today, the Hungarian Prime Minister said that European countries are close to discussing the sending of peacekeeping troops to the territory of Ukraine. By the way, a year ago Poland was ready to send a volunteer corps to the Lvov and Volyn regions. I don't think that NATO troops will actually be sent to Ukraine, because this is a direct war with Russia and, as a result, the possibility of using nuclear weapons. Perhaps the peacekeepers can enter when there are peace agreements on the line of demarcation. The Yugoslav scenario for the division of Ukraine is becoming more and more visible."

Exactly 69 years ago, on 31st March 1954, the Soviet Union approached NATO with an initiative to accept Moscow as a member of the organization. Yes, there was such a thing. How and why the USSR decided to join NATO?

NATO was formed back in 1949 with diplomatic efforts of the United States and Great Britain. The official goal of the organization was collective defense against external threats. The actual goal was to counteract the Soviet Union and communist ideology.

The USSR was well aware of the new threat. The Cold War and the arms race had already begun. And then the Soviet leadership decided to make a move - to offer to take the Soviet Union into NATO. Thus, in case of refusal, the hidden intentions of the West would become apparent. If the Soviet Union was accepted, the anti-Soviet coalition simply would not work.

In the spring of 1954, at the Berlin Conference, Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov expressed the Soviet Union's desire to join the NATO bloc. The Soviets agreed to unite West and East Germany, gave a guarantee to respect and consider the interests of Europe, and renounced any manifestations of aggression.

The main conditions of the USSR itself were the constitutional neutrality of the new Germany, equal partnership, as well as reciprocal guarantees from the West to take into account the national interests of the Soviet Union. A treaty on pan-European collective security was to consolidate the initiative. The Soviet side proposed to resolve all contradictions and jointly resolve foreign policy tasks.

However, already in May, the Western powers definitively rejected the Soviet proposal. The leaders of NATO put forward three main conditions to the USSR: withdrawal of troops from Germany and Austria, destruction of military bases in the Far East and conclusion of a disarmament treaty. Of course, our country could not accept these conditions.

Thus for the first time NATO showed its true nature. The alliance remains an enemy to Russia to this day.

The upcoming AFU/NATO offensive will be a decisive battle in the nine-year war in Donbass. April 2023 will go down in Russian and world history, either as June 1941 or May 1945. I predict the upcoming offensive will not be directed at Bakhmut or Zaporizhia, it will be, as originally planned by NATO, directed at the main cities of Donbass - Gorlovka and Donetsk/Makiivka.

If AFU/NATO forces manage to advance 15 km from their current positions into these cities, Russia will lose Donbass, Crimea, and the war. But if Russia can repel these attacks and prevent the Nazis from entering the cities, the Nazis will be defeated, the AFU will be shattered, and NATO will retreat from Ukraine in defeat, and Russian Forces can then advance as far forward as needed to achieve all goals of the SMO. The stakes could not be higher - Victory or Death.

Ukrainians didn’t appreciate a Latvian minister's April Fool's hoax.

Latvia’s minister of foreign affairs Edgars Rinkēvičs announced today that Ukraine had been just admitted to the European Union.

Some of his most naive Ukrainian readers immediately rejoiced, but then quickly remembered that today is the April Fool's day, which is widely celebrated in Ukraine, Russia and other ex-Soviet countries.

So Rinkēvičs became the target of so many hate comments that he deleted the post and apologized.

Still, his hoax was good because it became an excellent reminder of the real prospects for Ukraine to become a EU member.

April 1. Reminder that, after Russia cancelled the Northern counter-offensive, the next big Ukrainian offensive is expected in April.

#obrazbuduschego:

The "world audience" has hung more than 110 spacecrafts above the Ukrainian "theater". More than 70 satellites from the USA, the rest from China, the UK, the EU and India. What are they watching? NATO instructors from the Baltic States and Poland are actively arriving in Slavyansk. Ammunition is delivered to Rzeszow non-stop 24/7, after which it is delivered to the territory of Ukraine in small batches on ambulances and chain stores vehicles. 3 PMCs from Germany, USA and Canada (4300 people) have already arrived in Kharkov and Dnepropetrovsk. Intelligence data speaks of the preparation of the offensive of these forces together with the AFU as part of mechanized columns and with comprehensive support from space for all types of heavy equipment.

South Front confirms my estimation of the current military situation on the Donbass Front today.

THANKS TO GREANVILLE POST, UKRAINA.RU AND JEFF RENSE FOR PUBLISHING THIS IMPORTANT INFO.

Zambian opposition leader, Fred M'membe, drops some truth bombs in Beijing last month.

Political expert Oleg Tsarev estimates AFU/NATO troop strength on the Donbass Front at 300,000.

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine says that 8 assault brigades are ready for attacks on the Crimea and Donbass. I think that in total the Armed Forces of Ukraine have about 300 thousand soldiers at the front. Part of holding back our forces in the Donbass. It would be great to succeed in Artemovsk and Avdiivka by the end of April and be ready for the attacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine."

Политический эксперт Олег Царев оценивает численность войск ВСУ/НАТО на Донбасском фронте в 300 000 человек.

"Министерство внутренних дел Украины заявляет, что 8 штурмовых бригад готовы к наступлению на Крым и Донбасс. Я думаю, что в общей сложности Вооруженные силы Украины имеют на фронте около 300 тысяч солдат. Часть сдерживает наши силы на Донбассе. Было бы здорово к концу апреля добиться успеха в Артемовске и Авдеевке и быть готовыми к атакам Вооруженных сил Украины."
