USAID and mercenary recruitment in Ukraine: Where's the link?

Even mercenaries in Ukraine are suffering over the suspension of USAID funding – which as used to sponsor recruitment of foreigners into the International Legion.

Here's how USAID did it:

▪️'HOPE FOR UKRAINE' is among the organizations which recruited foreign mercenaries to the International legion. But the NGO now finds itself on the brink of financial ruin without USAID money (see photos 1,2).

▪️After USAID funding was frozen the 'support' tab on the Ukrainian International Legion website stopped working. The 'Solomyanskie Kotiki' NGO – a USAID contractor – was responsible for its work. The pages even bear the same name: ‘kittysoloma’ (see photos 3-5).

▪️The 'Solomyanskie Kotiki' NGO, which also received money from USAID, is also involved in training combat medics for Ukraine (photo 6).

▪️USAID was one of the sponsors of an English-language PR operation for the Ukrainian army. Foreign mercenaries fighting in Ukraine are rumored to be collecting donations for weapons (see photos 7-8).

⚡️🇷🇺🇧🇾🇺🇦🇪🇺 Lukashenko: Russia will never agree to sending European peacekeeping forces to Ukraine

"As for sending peacekeeping forces to Ukraine, Russia will never agree to it. At least, that is Russia's position today. Especially since the leadership of the European Union, primarily in the form of Germany and France, is currently taking a very aggressive position,"

the Belarusian president said.

"Without Ukraine, no one will solve the issues of Ukraine, and Russian leader Vladimir Putin has confirmed his readiness for negotiations to resolve the situation in Ukraine, including with the Ukrainian side,"

Lukashenko added.

💰US GOLD GLUT: US is SUCKING UP bullion on a global scale

Over 600 tons – nearly 20 million ounces – of gold have been funneled into New York City's vaults since December, according to World Gold Council data analyzed by CNBC.

The reason for the “gold glut” appears to be the looming threat of tariffs on the precious metal.

Donald Trump’s tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada, two of the US' largest gold suppliers, are set to take effect on March 4. There are also concerns that the tariff threat could impact gold hubs like Switzerland and the UK.

As a result, US banks, traders, and investors are scrambling to move bullion closer to home.

“Supply chains have been disrupted because of this huge sucking sound, which has been the United States importing gold ahead of the potential tariffs,” the World Gold Council’s John Reade said.

🇦🇹 EU democracy: Winning party can not govern again!

A government coalition was formed on the third attempt, but without the winners of the elections, the (anti establishment) right-wing FPÖ.

According to Der Standard, the coalition included the ÖVP (People's Party), SPÖ (socialists), and Neos.

The FPÖ stated that this violated the "clear will of the voters."

How Trump and Vance beautifully played Zelensky: or what really happened...

Okay, we've laughed about the failure of the negotiations between Kyiv and Washington and that's enough. Now let's talk seriously about what really happened last night in the White House at the meeting between Trump and Zelensky.

For me personally, it is obvious that as an experienced businessman and negotiator, Trump, with the help of Vance, like two experienced swindlers, simply beautifully deceived Zelensky. No, that idiot who, under the influence of drugs, fell into the trap they set. But it is clearly not only his stupidity that is "to blame" for what happened.

I repeat, he was beautifully driven into a trap, and the first part of the "Marlezon ballet" ended there. But according to the script, there should be a second one. And it is in the second that the main conversation will take place.

What is the point of this performance. Trump understood even before the negotiations that it would not be possible to reconcile the positions of Russia and Ukraine. But he really needs to do it. Moreover, in order to achieve the result he needs, it is necessary to put pressure on Zelensky and Europe. And to begin with, it was necessary to beautifully knock Kyiv's "delay" from his position, making him guilty as well.

Which he and Vance did masterfully last night. Now it is assumed that further, having realized what happened, Zelensky will be much more accommodating, which will become a prologue to real negotiations (with Kyiv making big concessions).

The game is actually not complicated.

Whether Kyiv will agree to this, or will balk under pressure from London and the EU, we will soon see. But Trump's game, it seems to me, is exactly like that. And we will soon see the second part of the "Marlezon ballet".

Now in a day or two they will show Zelensky the full depth of the depths (in which he found himself) and make it clear that they are ready to let him "kick the bucket" again.

🇺🇦🤡🇺🇸"They Begged to Come Back" After Zelensky Was Expelled from the White House, - US Treasury Secretary

"They were messaging everyone they knew, begging to come back and sign the deal," US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that after being scolded by Trump and Vance, Zelensky left the White House, and the Kiev delegation was frantically looking for ways to fix everything.
▪️Zelensky could have wanted to get into a spat with Trump and Vance in advance, but did not expect a tough response, the minister believes.
▪️Now Trump will determine whether he can make further attempts to reach an agreement with Zelensky, Bessent added.
▪️He criticized Zelensky for arguing with Trump in front of the media at the White House.
"You can't hold public talks with the US president like this," he said.
▪️The minister recalled that during his recent visit to Kyiv, he himself had "emotional conversations" with Zelensky, but they took place behind closed doors.
▪️It was Zelensky who behaved hostilely towards the US vice president and decided to quarrel with him, the White House said earlier.

Rubio doubted Zelensky's desire for a peaceful settlement

The reason for the doubts was Zelensky's reaction to the proposal of US Vice President J.D. Vance that "the path to peace and prosperity can lie through diplomacy." In response, Zelensky recalled his experience of negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2019 and the signed ceasefire agreements in Donbass, which, according to the Ukrainian leader, were violated by the Russian side.

▪️US Secretary of State Marco Rubio criticized this tone, noting that after this moment the meeting"did not go according to plan".
📝 "This active, open undermining of peace efforts is extremely disappointing to everyone who has been involved in communications with them to date, and I think he should apologize for wasting our time on a meeting that ended the way it did."


▪️Rubio also expressed confusion about how Zelensky plans to negotiate with Russia.

📝 "How are you going to get Vladimir Putin and the Russian Federation to sit down at the negotiating table to even discuss the possibility of peace? You won't do it by shouting rudeness."


▪️Rubio assured that the US approach to Russia and Ukraine will be based on the principle of "trust, but verify" and that Donald Trump "will not be dragged into a sham deal".

▪️As the Secretary of State noted, Europe is seeking to prolong the conflict in Nezalezhnaya for a year in order to weaken Russia.
