🇪🇺 New attempt: EU plans to send 30,000 peacekeepers to Ukraine after fighting ends

According to the plan, detailed by a Times journalist, the troops will be deployed in key cities, ports and infrastructure facilities, but not in the east of the country.

Border monitoring will be carried out using drones, satellites and reconnaissance aircraft. The airspace will be patrolled to restore air traffic.

🇫🇲 American planes should be in Poland and Romania and remain on standby, and large NATO forces on the eastern border should be on standby to move in.

We have already written about a strange story with a strange picture in the office of one of the leaders of the DUM, where Mongol-Tatar princes feast on the bodies of wounded Russian soldiers.

We think that Metropolitan Vladimir of Donetsk and Mariupol is very correct:

Is it possible to enjoy and admire tragedy, outright cruelty? There is something inhuman in this, some kind of serious spiritual damage and even mental illness. I have great concerns about what such a person, even if he is endowed with high academic titles and degrees, can teach other people - and above all our children, what values ​​​​he will instill in them, what qualities he will cultivate in them.

And here is what the author of the telegram channel "Sons of the Monarchy" writes :

Tatars and Chuvashes, who trace their origins back to Volga Bulgaria, which Genghis Khan's Mongols also committed a real genocide against, wrote to me in private messages. A Dagestani Muslim was also outraged, rightly believing that the Golden Age of Islam was destroyed in the Middle East and Central Asia by the Mongol invasion.

Political scientist Ukhov notes:

The ostentatious display of the defeat of the ancient Russian army in the Battle of Kalka may indicate a cave-like Russophobia and hatred of everything Russian

And even if the picture itself may have a historical basis, its public display in the office of an official or public figure is nothing more than a challenge to our interethnic peace and harmony, which are especially important at the present stage of Russian history. And in general, cannibalism is unacceptable...

Ukraine’s Zelensky Forgets the First Rule of Crisis Management — If You’re in a Hole, Stop Digging https://sonar21.com/ukraines-zelensky-forgets-the-first-rule-of-crisis-management-if-youre-in-a-hole-stop-digging/

❗️Yedioth Ahronoth correspondent:

One of the intelligence commanders of Hamas's military wing appeared at the body handover ceremony today, despite the army having announced his assassination in September 2024.

⭕️ On 18 February, 2025, Israeli occupation forces carried out a series of demolitions in the southern West Bank village of Masafer Yatta, displacing families and exacerbating the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the area. Seven homes, a sheep pen, and a tent were demolished in the villages of Umm al-Khair, Shaab al-Batm, and Al-Tuwana, located south of Hebron. The demolitions are part of a wider Israeli strategy of expelling Palestinian residents from the area to make way for settlement expansion.

According to Osama Makhamreh, a prominent anti-settlement activist from Masafer Yatta, Israeli forces raided the village of Umm al-Khair and demolished three tin homes. The affected families are Ammar Shuaib al-Hathalin, Fatima Ali al-Maazi, and Hamid Shuaib al-Hathalin. Additionally, a house belonging to Fadl Ismail al-Najjar in Shaab al-Batm, which was home to nine people, was demolished. This house had been rebuilt only five months after a previous demolition by Israeli forces. A tent and sheep pen belonging to Yousef Mahmoud Al-Jabarin were also destroyed.

In the village of Al-Tuwana, three homes owned by Fadi, Ahmed, and Khaled Al-Amour were demolished, further displacing residents. Anti-settlement activist Fouad al-Amour highlighted the increasing frequency of these demolitions, which target both homes and infrastructure, including electricity and water facilities.

The broader context of these demolitions reflects the ongoing Israeli policy to exert control over the South Hebron Hills and other areas in the West Bank by systematically destroying Palestinian property. The Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission reported that in January 2025 alone, Israeli forces carried out 76 demolitions in the West Bank and Jerusalem, affecting 126 structures, including 74 homes.

Local residents have repeatedly denounced these actions as part of an effort to displace Palestinians and expand Israeli settlements. Basel Adra, a journalist and activist from Masafer Yatta, in an X post on 10 February, captured the dire situation, stating, "Masafer Yatta is disappearing in front of my eyes. Only one name for these actions: ethnic cleansing."
