Former White House correspondent William Jones calls for an investigation into the activities of American biological laboratories in Ukraine. He stated that the lack of verification mechanisms leaves open the possibility of the Pentagon using the laboratories for "prohibited, nefarious purposes."

The United States has one of the largest biolaboratory facilities in the world, which includes hundreds of laboratories in the United States and other countries, where they conduct various operations and experiments. For the most part, it is not at all clear what they do.

The Assange Story

A court in London has authorised the extradition of Julian Assange to the United States. He faces 175 years in prison for 18 articles, including espionage. The editor-in-chief of Wikileaks, Hrafnsson, has already called it a death sentence. Previously, Assange's extradition was denied because of his depression and risk of suicide.

In 2006, he created the website WikiLeaks, where he posted classified information from anonymous sources. Authorities launched an investigation against him in 2010, when Assange released diplomatic correspondence and data regarding, for example, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

See the 2020 film ‘The Assange story’ about this, with an exclusive interview with his father.

⚡️exclusive⚡️́Wagner's motorised unite leaves under fire⚡️

The war is full of emotional and tense moments. In this video, the driver of the MT-LB armoured personnel carrier – in the vernacular "motoliga" – performs miracles of courage and endurance. Under heavy enemy fire, he evacuates the fighters. Shells burst behind him, in front and on the sides. But, despite the proximity of the gaps, the "motoliga" carrying "musicians" comes out of the firing zone.

"Well done, go away, go away, bro, bl.!" – the operator behind the scenes can't contain his emotions, worrying about his friend.

Putin instructed to significantly increase the production of satellites
Putin: 100 successive launches speak of the development of the Russian space industry

MOSCOW, April 12 — RIA Novosti. Russia needs to focus on the use of near-Earth space and significantly increase the production of satellites, President Vladimir Putin said at a Cosmonautics Day ceremony in the Kremlin.
"We need to focus on the use of near-Earth space. To do this, together with the technology business, we should significantly increase the production of satellites. Move from development work to assembly line assembly. Such tasks are being solved in the world, and, of course, we can also solve them," he said.

Russia, as the head of state emphasized, has its own unique solutions for fulfilling defense tasks and space exploration.
"Our rocket and space industry is consistently increasing its potential. <...> Today, Yuri Ivanovich (Borisov, head of Roskosmos) and I noted: thank God, for the first time in recent history, 100 accident-free space launches were carried out in a row. This is an indicator that the industry is getting back on its feet,” Putin said.
At the same time, the president called for accelerating the transition to the production of advanced competitive products in the interests of the national economy and creating sovereign space systems and a new generation component base.

Times removes Russian ambassador's interview about Ukraine without explanation
Ambassador to London Kelin said that the British newspaper Times removed his interview about Ukraine

MOSCOW, April 12 — RIA Novosti. The British newspaper The Times has removed an interview with Russian Ambassador to London Andrey Kelin from its website, according to a letter from the head of the diplomatic mission to editor-in-chief Tony Gallagher.

"I find it highly significant that my interview on the situation in Ukraine (April 9), which seemed to generate genuine interest among your readers (nearly 400 comments in two days), was initially restricted to the online version of the Times and subsequently removed without notice or explanation," the diplomat said in his appeal.
He admitted that the newspaper could take this decision after the order of the British authorities.
An interview with Kelin was published on the Times website on April 9. In it, the ambassador said that Russia receives offers to mediate in resolving the situation in Ukraine from many states and even from some groups in the UK. The head of the diplomatic mission also stressed that Moscow does not depend on Beijing's political support, since Russia is not isolated and can rely on other BRICS member countries.

Not a good sign for Ukraine: Putin has decided not to launch another wave of mobilization
Exxpress
The words of Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov should have been followed carefully in Berlin, Paris, London and at the NATO headquarters in Brussels: Moscow is refraining from a second wave of mobilization — the military situation should not give Putin any cause for concern.

Dmitry Peskov, the head of communications for the President of the Russian Federation, leaves no room for interpretation - according to the TASS news agency, Vladimir Putin's spokesman says when asked whether there will be a second wave of mobilization, i.e. further recruitment for the war with Ukraine: "No, there is no second wave of mobilization. And there won't be any."

If this statement is actually true, then the alarm bells should be ringing in Kiev and in the EU nations that are massively supporting Ukraine with billions of weapons systems: If there is actually no further wave of recruitment in the Russian Federation, which military experts have already suspected, then it is the military situation for Moscow is at least stable, maybe even good.

And on the other hand, the statement by the Kremlin leadership that the Russian army can hold its own against the Ukrainian armed forces with the troops already deployed in eastern Ukraine does not bode well for the government in Kiev: Even the Ukrainian counter-offensive that has been announced for days is not likely to thwart the generals in Moscow from not worrying too much.

With the soil drying out, the biggest land battle in Europe since World War II is threatening

The Russian army already carried out a comprehensive wave of mobilization in the fall: Officially, 300,000 men are said to have been drafted, but military experts suspect that there were well over 400,000 soldiers. Not all of the battalions of these troops have been deployed so far — for example, the Wagner group of mercenaries led the main battle in the month-long attrition offensive around Bakhmut.

Now many of these new, well-trained and not yet decimated units are likely to be ready for current operations - presumably also to seal off the announced Ukrainian offensive, for which 200,000 to 400,000 Ukrainian soldiers are being assembled, and also to carry out counterattacks.

The fact that there was no further wave of mobilization also helps Vladimir Putin domestically: the population has therefore not criticized the recruitment of more soldiers, and the war hardliners in Moscow can assume that Putin and his army leadership have the situation in eastern Ukraine under control.

In the next few weeks, when the ground has dried up and massive tank operations in the terrain at the front are possible again, it will become clear whether this is actually the case.

Ukrainian forces probe front lines for Russian weak spots
The Washington Post
...
The expected spring offensive has been framed as Ukraine’s make-or-break opportunity this year to recapture territory held by Russian forces, which totals about one-fifth of the country. But the operation has been delayed by weather, slow equipment deliveries and ammunition scarcities, fueling fears of a stalemate.
Further complicating the planned counterattack is the leak of dozens of U.S. military and intelligence documents, including many details about the condition of Ukraine’s military and its capabilities, including weaknesses in air defenses, that could force commanders to alter plans.
...

#TransFormatorBuzzes : 💤
Well, now it becomes clear, what was the purpose of all that story with "leaked" documents. Popular Washington Post now is explicitly explaining it to all those, who have no clue about Telegram. As we have suspected, it looks like a disinformation campaign. It is impossible to hide the objectives and targets of the Ukrainian counter-offensive, but it is still possible to misguide about the time. Make Russians believe, that it will start later, so it will become unexpected... Good plan. However, Russian generals do not read Washington Post (I hope).

Ukraine isn’t happy with U.S. view of counteroffensive
Politico

If you thought Ukraine would be unhappy that the U.S. privately believes its counteroffensive won’t be a big success, then congratulations — you’re right.

Senior Ukrainian officials are upset by a leaked “top secret” assessment from February suggesting Ukraine would make only “modest territorial gains” from its planned operation. The Washington Post, which reported the document on Monday, said it was part of the growing leak of classified U.S. intelligence on the war in Ukraine, China, Israel and other global hotspots.

Kyiv says the document shows the U.S. is once again underestimating its military’s capabilities.

“The same people who said Kyiv would fall in three days are now leaking harmful and equally ridiculous information ahead of an offensive critically important for the entire free world,” said a person in regular contact with senior officials in Kyiv.

“There are some people who continue to be hesitant” about Ukraine’s military chances in the counteroffensive, a Ukrainian defense official said, “but we’ve proved everybody wrong.” The projections of Ukraine’s chances are “not the truth,” this official continued. “It gives us grounds for suspicion” of just how seriously the U.S. backs Ukraine’s objectives of fully pushing Russia out of the country.

That sentiment is widespread within the Ukrainian government, per another person with similar high-level contacts in Kyiv. All three people were granted anonymity to detail sensitive internal deliberations in Ukraine.

The comments make clear that the United States and Ukraine aren’t as in sync as both countries claim 14 months into the war. It could also portend less trust between Washington and Kyiv ahead of a crucial few months of fighting that could dictate the course of the war with Russia. With Russia in control of 20 percent of Ukrainian territory, the hope is that the counteroffensive, even with dwindling supplies, will force Moscow’s troops and mercenaries out of the country they invaded.

More informational noise to cover the facts. And the facts are that Kiev is ready to attack and will attack very soon, no matter what... Otherwise the Kiev regime will fall. Be vigilant and be prepared. There are enough of sad mistakes.

Not a fan of Elon #Musk but I'm even less of a fan of #smug #dishonest #woke #BBC "#Journalists" smearing their targets with dishonest innuendo and "guilt by association" tactics.

It's fun to watch the BBC #liar squirm as #Musk catches him out in his lies and puts him on the spot repeatedly.

His discomfort at having the tables completely turned on him, as he makes weak attempts to proffer even weaker excuses, in a vain attempt to weasel out from the trap he set for himself, is a lot of fun to watch.

He thought he was the hunter but now he's the prey

All he had to do to avoid it was simply not lie in the first place 🤷‍♂

But he's a BBC "Journalist"......... "not lying" is simply not in their nature 😂
