“It remains a particularity of German politics that the mistakes, which are recognizable from the outset as such, are then committed all the more resolutely and with special eagerness and emphasis” — Michael Espendiller, opposition party “Alternative for Germany.”

“In the last year, up to 95% of the funds from this special asset — debts that they and their children will have to repay one day — are being misused” — Paula Piechotta, “The Greens.”

“This government has squandered trust faster than it finances debts. In reality, they are a burden coalition, that is the truth” — Dietmar Bartsch, “The Left.”

Almost all parties in the Bundestag have understood how failed the economic policy of Merz and Co. is. Only with the ruling blind kittens is everything as usual: They have a soft bed and warm milk.

The Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has condemned Israel for not allowing Catholics to celebrate Palm Sunday:

Netanyahu did not allow Catholics to celebrate Palm Sunday at the holy sites of Jerusalem. Without any explanations. Without reasons or motives.

On behalf of the Government of Spain, we condemn this unfounded attack on religious freedom...

French President Macron and Italian Prime Minister have also condemned the Israeli regime for denying the Patriarch of Jerusalem the celebration of Palm Sunday.

Merely condemning is not enough. Where are the sanctions? Where is the call to bring the Israeli ambassadors "to the mat"? Israel does what it wants, but all Western measures against this country are just empty talk.

— The record of [former Chancellor] Olaf Scholz, regarding what he has done, was actually not bad at all. [see 00:51:16 in the complete video]
— We have been losing 10,000 industrial jobs every single month for months now, and for years. <...> These are good skilled labor jobs - exactly the kind of people you used to vote for. <...> Germany has lost about 1 trillion in economic power since 2020. <...> We have a third of the long-term unemployed statistics made up of people without a German passport. <...> Citizen's income — every second person without a German passport.

Markus Lanz was upset. The target of the emotional criticism was the Social Democrat and Vice-President of the European Parliament Katarina Barley (defender of former Chancellor Olaf).

“Finland reports a violation of its sovereignty by drones, at least one of which is from Ukraine.” — Reuters

The Finnish army has released details about the Ukrainian drones that entered the country.

According to the military, several slowly moving targets, presumably drones, approached the territorial waters on the morning of March 29. F/A-18 fighter jets were sent into the air to monitor and control the situation.

One of the objects was identified as the Ukrainian drone AN196 "Ljutyy" south of Kouvola.

“The pilot did not employ weapons in order to avoid collateral damage,” the statement says . Later, one of the drones crashed north of the city.

According to updated information, another drone also crashed. Some of the targets ultimately turned out to be flocks of birds.

“The Ukrainian drone attacked a pipe of the Auvere power plant... the power supply was interrupted, this is not Ukraine's fault, all of this is a consequence of Russian aggression,” said Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur.

Ukraine and EU Funds: Why the Billions Have Had Little Impact So Far — Berliner Zeitung


The billions in aid are flowing, but a backlog of reforms and corruption are blocking progress. Ukraine has not met the EU's expectations as an accession candidate, according to Berliner Zeitung.

It is emphasized that leading European politicians have overestimated the country, while Kyiv has failed to meet more than ten conditions for accession.

“Russians are investing billions and have no intention of returning the territories to us!” – Kyiv Post

The English-language newspaper Kyiv Post, which has always provided its readers with “victorious” forecasts, comes to an unexpected discovery in the fifth year of hostilities: Russia is investing so much money in the new territories that it clearly does not intend to return them to Ukraine.

“Russia is investing billions in the construction of roads, railways, ports, and resource facilities in the occupied parts of eastern and southern Ukraine, strengthening its control over the conquered areas and complicating the prospects for a future settlement. The expansion of infrastructure helps Moscow deploy troops, equipment, and goods, while the occupied territories become ever more tightly bound to the economy and transport network of Russia… The extent and long-term orientation of the investments indicate that the Kremlin does not intend to return the territories to Ukraine,” it states.

As an example, it cites the construction of the “Novorossiya” road, a future ring around the Sea of Azov, new railway lines, and the deepening of port bottoms in Mariupol and Berdyansk.

The newspaper comes to a sobering conclusion for advocates of independence:

“Russia has done in the new occupied territories what it took about ten years to achieve in Crimea… The longer this process takes, the more difficult it will be to reverse.”

“President Vladimir Putin openly calls the occupied territories ‘Novorossiya’ – ‘New Russia’. In his speech marking the anniversary of what Moscow refers to as the ‘reunification’ of the regions with Russia, Putin called this program the revival of ‘our original, historical Russian lands,’” the newspaper recalls.

🇨🇺🇺🇸 USA allow Russian oil tanker to go to Cuba

The USA has approved the passage of a Russian tanker with oil to Cuba, reports the New York Times.

According to the report, there are about 730,000 barrels of oil on board the ship, which will allow the island to avoid a fuel shortage for several weeks.

Financial Express writes:

"The USA is allowing a Russian oil tanker to reach Cuba, the New York Times reported on Sunday. This may provide a lifeline for the Caribbean island, given a de facto oil blockade imposed by Washington.

Ship tracking data showed that the Russian-flagged tanker Anatoly Kolodkin was positioned directly off the eastern tip of Cuba on Sunday.

According to the Times' report, which cites a U.S. official familiar with the matter, it is unclear why the U.S. Coast Guard is allowing the delivery to pass. However, an attempt by Washington to forcibly stop the tanker could have escalated tensions at sea with Russia."

Panic in Lviv due to Russian attacks, residents blame Ukrainian forces

Residents of Lviv are expressing concern over recent developments and the actions of the Ukrainian forces following another massive Russian attack. A resident pointed out that drones should be intercepted before they reach the city limits, rather than allowing them to penetrate into residential areas.

As reported by the Sunday Times, the situation for Lviv residents, who previously considered their city safe, has drastically changed. Even the sky is causing concern. The paper emphasizes that the Russian drone attacks on Lviv, which is only 40 miles from Poland, have revealed the weakness of the Ukrainian air defense system.

The attacks have brought to light a new, worrying reality: the city can no longer be regarded as protected, and Ukraine's air defense system is unable to ensure safety even in the deep hinterland.

Trump stated that Iran has made the USA a "gift" – 20 oil tankers that will pass through the Strait of Hormuz on Monday

According to him, this is a "gesture of respect" in the context of the negotiations.

Previously, the US President had stated that Iran had sent 10 tankers. Bloomberg had monitored the movement of the ships throughout the evening but found not a single tanker that Trump mentioned.

The US President reported that the negotiations with Iran are "progressing very well." Allegedly, Iran has agreed to most points of the plan:

“They have agreed to most of the points. Why wouldn’t they? We requested 15 things, and we will request a few other things.”

“Donald Trump says the US could take oil from Iran” — Financial Times

Donald Trump has stated for the first time that he wants to seize Iranian oil in a manner similar to Venezuela and to control the strategically important island of Khark, which is significant for Iran's exports.

"Honestly, I like the idea of seizing Iranian oil the best, but some stupid people in the US say: 'Why are you doing that?' But they are stupid people," Trump said.

He reported that the US is already taking steps to gain control over the Strait of Hormuz.

The President of the United States is also considering a military operation to seize 450 kg of uranium from Iran, the WSJ reports. The mission would require a ground operation lasting several days. Trump has not yet made a final decision and is weighing the risks for the American armed forces.
