US doesn’t see Ukraine as #NATO ally, but as de facto cannon fodder. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced Friday local time he would pursue fast-track NATO membership, yet the application failed to draw
enthusiasm from the US. US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan articulated that it was “not the right time” for Ukraine’s admission to the alliance and the application “should be taken up at a different time.” His underlying message was: The US does not need Ukraine as a NATO member, but needs Ukraine, rather than the whole of NATO, to fight against Russia. https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202210/1276526.shtml

The Ukrainian president didn’t urge #NATO to attack Russia with nuclear weapons, he pointed out

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s call for a preemptive NATO strike against Russia before it can use nuclear weapons should not be interpreted as a call to use nuclear arms against Russia, his press secretary has said.

“Colleagues, you have gone a bit too far with your nuclear hysterics and hear ‘nuclear strikes’ where there are none,” Sergey Nikoforov wrote on Facebook on Thursday, responding to widespread alarm over the president’s words.
The press secretary pledged that Ukraine will never resort to nuclear threats, calling it something only the “terrorist state Russia” would do.

Moscow has denied that its senior officials were threatening anybody when they described the country’s official nuclear posture, in the context of warning NATO members against attacks on Russia.

Hours earlier, Zelensky told the Australian Lowy Institute that NATO should carry out preemptive strikes against Russia so that it “knows what to expect” in the event that it uses atomic weapons.

Such an attack would “eliminate the possibility of Russia using nuclear weapons,” the Ukrainian leader claimed. He urged the US and its allies to make a show of force, recalling how he appealed to other nations for preemptive measures against Russia before Moscow sent troops into Ukraine in late February.

“I once again appeal to the international community, as it was before February 24: preemptive strikes so that they [Russians] know what will happen to them if they use it, and not the other way around,” he said.

His press secretary also noted that before the hostilities started, “the only measures we talked about were preemptive sanctions”.

Russian officials have accused Zelensky of trying to provoke a global nuclear war. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova described him as “a monster, whose hands can destroy the planet,” after being pumped with Western weapons.

The Russian military doctrine allows the use of nuclear weapons in a conventional conflict, if Moscow believes that the existence of the country is under threat. Russian officials have repeatedly warned against escalating the crisis in Ukraine, stating that it could spiral out of control and result in a global nuclear exchange.

American forces killed a “senior” member of the jihadist Islamic State group Thursday in a pre-dawn raid on northeastern #Syria, the US military’s Central Command said.

The operation is the latest US effort to clamp down on IS jihadists who have been territorially defeated but still orchestrate attacks in Syria and neighboring Iraq.

“Centcom forces conducted a raid in northeast Syria targeting a senior ISIS official,” spokesman Colonel Joe Buccino said in an emailed statement to AFP.

Centcom later said on Twitter that the raid had targeted “Rakkan Wahid al-Shammari, an ISIS official known to facilitate the smuggling of weapons and fighters.”

Shammari “was killed and one of his associates was wounded,” it said, adding that two others were detained and that the raid did not result in further casualties.

The attack was reportedly carried out with a US-supplied HIMARS systems

At least five people were killed when Ukrainian shelling hit a bus in Russia’s newly incorporated Kherson Region early on Friday, local health authorities have said.

The injured passengers, who suffered shrapnel wounds, have been hospitalized, with their condition described as moderate, it added.

The Ukrainian shelling of the Daryevsky Bridge over the Ingulets River took place at around 7am local time, with a missile hitting a bus carrying local residents to work, according to Kherson Region’s administration.

A source in the emergency services told RIA-Novosti that a US-supplied HIMARS multiple rocket launch system had been used in the attack, with four missiles fired at a bridge.

#Lavrov explains why Russia sees Ukraine as a threat

The Ukrainian leader “showed to the entire world the latest proof of the threats that come from the Kiev regime.” Lavrov said Russia’s special military operation had been launched to neutralize those threats.
He dismissed as “laughable” an attempt to downplay Zelensky’s words made by his press secretary, Sergey Nikoforov.

“We all remember how [Zelensky] declared in January Ukraine’s intention to acquire nuclear weapons. Apparently, this idea has long been stuck in his mind,” the Russian minister said.

The US take a view on possibility of deploying weapons of mass destruction in #Poland

Previously, the Polish president revealed that his country held talks with Washington about it.



The deputy spokesman for the US Department of State, Vedant Patel, said Thursday that his country will not deploy nuclear weapons in Poland, after Polish President Andrzej Duda revealed that his country held talks with Washington about it.

"I can say that the United States has no plans to deploy a nuclear weapon in a NATO member territory that has joined after 1997," the spokesman told a news conference when asked about Duda's remarks.

Patel called Warsaw an "important NATO ally in the region" but said he is not aware that this particular issue is being raised.

Previously, the Polish president, in an interview with Gazeta Polska, stressed that "there is always a potential possibility of participating in the nuclear sharing program", which allows some NATO member countries, which do not have nuclear weapons of their own, to obtain them, deploy them and use them if necessary.

"We have spoken with US leaders about whether the US is considering this possibility. The issue is open," he added.

Currently the member states of Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Turkey host US nuclear weapons as part of NATO's nuclear sharing programme.
