News from abroad

The press reports that Russia has sent a signal through closed channels to Poland that it is ready to launch a preemptive strike on Polish cities in the event of continued "anti-Russian support for Ukraine" with NATO weapons, as well as promoting initiatives to bring Polish peacekeepers to Ukraine. These rumors are outright blackmail of Poles by Moscow. There was smoke over the Russian embassy in Warsaw yesterday; secret documents are probably being burned there before leaving the building, but it could be part of the same pressure.

During another phone call, Macron couldn't agree with Putin on a ceasefire in Ukraine,  Le Figaro reports.

The Russian Embassy in Latvia was obliged to attach a sign with the new name of Ukrainian Independence Street on its building. They're given three months, according to Latvian media. The decision to change the address applies to three buildings, the embassy premises are among them. If it's not done, the local police will have the right to fine the owner of the building. The amount of the penalty will be from 10 to 150 euros.

Polish President Andrzej Duda compared Mariupol to Warsaw in 1944, Putin to Hitler, and the Russian military to the SS.

In addition, Polish authorities are demanding the expulsion of about 40 Russian diplomats on suspicion of espionage.

13:00 – according to Bloomberg, the EU has approved an agreement with Ukraine, which will provide Kyiv with classified information, including satellite images.

14:00 – our true friends, the Baltic States and Poland called for the closure of European roads for cargo in Russia and Belarus.

15:00 – President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on Japan to impose an embargo on trade with Russia and help develop new global security mechanisms.

Now Joe Biden is definitely flying to Europe. He plans to discuss the situation in Ukraine with European allies. "I'm on my way to Europe to rally the international community in support of Ukraine and ensure Putin pays a severe economic cost for his war of choice," the US president wrote on Facebook.

In Lithuania, it was proposed to equate the St. George's ribbon and the "Z" symbol with the banned Nazi and communist symbols.

What's in Russia?

The Kremlin has admitted that it hasn't achieved its goals in Ukraine, according to Peskov, when asked by a journalist about Putin's achievement of goals after a full-scale invasion in Ukraine. At the same time, he claims that the Russian offensive in Ukraine "is in strict accordance with the plans and goals that were set in advance." Thousands of dead orcs, of course, don't bother the leadership of the Mordor.

The Pentagon says that the Russian occupiers who invaded Ukraine are short of ammunition, which has become an additional problem due to a lack of fuel and food.

Rear Russians are also trying to solve their problems. They are currently offered tours to Uzbekistan to get VISA and Mastercard. The cost of a tour to Tashkent per person is 23 thousand rubles for a couple of nights. The price includes transfer (airport-hotel-airport, hotel-bank-hotel), hotel accommodation, a representative of the company when visiting the bank, preliminary preparation of documents to the bank, courier services, health insurance. In the same way, Russians once went for sausages to Ukraine. Ahead are sugar tours to Mohilev and sanitary pads tours to Astana.

Unfortunately (in fact, no) the Russian deputies are unlikely to have fun in such a tour: the deputies of the State Duma from the "United Russia" party were forbidden to leave the country without the permission of the head of the faction. If you need to go abroad, you need to write a special application. The iron curtain has already come down.

The Russian National Guard is preparing to block traffic on the Crimean bridge to Russia, will also restrict ferry traffic and air connections between the peninsula and Russia, according to Ukrainian intelligence. In this way, Putin's government is trying to respond to panic and prevent Russian citizens who illegally moved there from fleeing Crimea after February 2014.

In Zombieland, inspired by patriotism, the mother declares on camera: "Because of the sanctions, I lost the medicine that my son so desperately needs. But I sacrifice my child in the name of Russia's victory!" It seems that there is nothing to fix.

Russian media report the disappearance of Shoigu. Russia's defense minister has stopped appearing in public since March 11. Although he is usually very active in the media. Shoigu's entourage discusses that he is unhealthy, heart problems. Hopefully, he disappeared forever not only from the information space.

Shoigu has disappeared, and Lavrov continues to spit out threats to the world: "If NATO sends its peacekeepers to Ukraine, it will be a direct clash between the armed forces of Russia and the Alliance," said the Russian Foreign Minister.

Pentagon response: Moscow's rhetoric about the use of nuclear weapons is dangerous.

Russian oligarchs are irritated by Putin's policies and are considering removing him, Ukrainian intelligence reports.

According to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Syria is failing a plan to involve militants in the war in Ukraine on the side of Russia.

Oksana Baulina, a journalist with the Russian media The Insider, died in Kyiv. She and three other civilians came under fire. Besides Oksana, another person was killed and two were injured. Oksana Baulina, a Russian journalist for The Insider, was killed in a missile attack in Kyiv. Prior to joining The Insider, Baulina worked for the Anti-Corruption Foundation. After the organization was added to the extremist list, she was forced to leave Russia.

What about Belarus?

On the territory of Belarus, representatives of opposition forces and concerned citizens have partially disrupted the railway connection between Belarus and Ukraine.

At the same time, according to available information, Belarus is actively moving Russian and Belarusian military equipment and further accumulating it along the Ukrainian border.

Russia offers Belarusians a monetary reward of $1,000-1,500 a month and preferential training at Russian military universities for performing "combat special missions," the GUR reports. According to our intelligence, in this way, Putin's emissaries are trying to persuade the Belarusian military to take part in the war with Ukraine, even if it is not part of the Belarusian Armed Forces.

16:00 – Belarus "invited" 12 Ukrainian diplomats to leave the country within 72 hours. The authorities of the republic allowed only the ambassador and 4 other employees to work.

Meanwhile, the Belarusian military is not going to die under the potato Fuhrer. Many plan to surrender if they are sent to Ukraine to take part in hostilities. "The entire company decided to surrender immediately after the crossing." And this is a very correct decision. Ukraine does not want a war with Belarus, but in our country, the occupiers of the aggressor countries will only die!

In his own way, Lukashenko himself persuades Belarusians to fight. He urged Belarusian tankers not to be afraid of Javelins: "It's just a pipe of gunpowder. The main thing is not to be afraid and actively maneuver. During my two-year service, none of our tanks was shot by these vaunted Javelins. None!" And he did not lie, because during his "service," no "Javelins" even existed.

However, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has already decided on this issue. He said: "Belarus will not start a war against Ukraine, because it is already participating in it."

Russian lies

Moscow continues to claim that the Russian military doesn't shoot at civilians, but helps them.

The Center for Counteracting Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine announces the plan intensification of Russian military provocations. According to the propaganda media with reference to the leadership of the Belgorod region, today "in the villages of Zhuravlevka and Nekhoteevka, a state of emergency has been imposed in connection with the explosions of shells that arrived from Ukraine." According to the propagandists, "there are victims who are being helped." According to the Kremlin, such provocations should be a reason to announce a general mobilization.

Skabeeva has just stated that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have run out of weapons, completely. That's good, the meat will get the surprise.

The Russian Foreign Ministry has stated that there have been two exchanges of prisoners between Ukraine and Russia, while Ukraine denies this information. "Russia lives in a parallel reality, it conducts exchanges, it writes about it," Iryna Vereshchuk said.

Sanctions on the aggressor!

The administration of US President Joe Biden has announced a new package of sanctions against more than 300 State Duma deputies who supported the Russian army's invasion of Ukraine.

In addition, the United States is preparing a bill that will block Russia's gold reserves by about $132 billion.

Israel is disappointing us once again. It banned Ukraine from buying Pegasus spyware, fearing that Russian officials would be unhappy with the sale. According to The Guardian and The Washington Post, Israel fears that allowing Ukraine to listen to Russian phones through Pegasus will be seen as an act of aggression against Russian intelligence. That is, Russia's aggression itself does not embarrass the Israeli government?
