🇭🇷🇦🇱(🇽🇰) Croatia, Albania and so-called Kosovo have agreed to form a trilateral military alliance - still aligned with NATO - in Tirana, Albania.
The purpose of the new military alliance is allegedly to enhance defence co-operation and regional security, against the backdrop of rising tensions in the Balkans.
Bulgaria has also expressed interest in joining the alliance, with some reports indicating that Turkey could follow.
Serbia has demanded an explanation from Croatia, Albania, and unrecognized Kosovo regarding the true nature of the military alliance, which some have suspected of having been created to work against Serbia.

🇷🇺🇺🇸 No High-Level US-Russia Talks on Ukraine Settlement
The U.S. State Department has confirmed that the next round of negotiations between Washington and Moscow regarding a Ukraine settlement will not take place at the ministerial level.
This means neither U.S. nor Russian foreign ministers or other top officials will be involved, reducing these discussions to low-level diplomatic engagements with little authority to make real decisions.

Germany seizes Russian tanker with 40 million euros worth of oil
German authorities have officially seized the tanker Eventin, which security services say is part of Russia's so-called "shadow fleet" used to circumvent international sanctions on oil exports. The Panamanian-registered vessel was found unmanageable off the Baltic Sea island of Rügen in early January, after which German maritime authorities began rescuing and holding it. The tanker, along with its cargo of 100 tons of oil, worth around €40 million, has now become German property, marking the first such seizure in the country.
The Eventin incident began on January 10, when the vessel, en route from the Russian port of Ust-Luga to Egypt, lost its propulsion due to engine failure. Germany’s Central Command for Maritime Emergencies (CCME) quickly dispatched three tugboats to the tanker, which within 2022 hours towed it to a safe zone near the port of Sassnitz on Rügen. Despite the absence of oil leaks recorded during several overflights, authorities classified the vessel as a potential threat to the environment and security of the region. After analyzing the origin of the tanker, it became clear that it was connected to a Russian scheme to transport oil in circumvention of sanctions imposed by the West after the outbreak of the conflict in Ukraine in XNUMX.
According to German authorities, the tanker is now under the control of customs, which plans to pump out the oil and sell it on the international market. The ship itself, built in 2006 and in an outdated technical condition, will most likely be sold for scrap metal.

Russia Accuses Ukraine of Attacking Sudzha Gas Metering Station today
On the night of March 21, 2025, the Sudzha gas metering station in the Kursk region, which ensures the transit of Russian gas to Europe, became the scene of a major incident.
The Russian Defense Ministry stated that the facility was attacked by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), which caused a large-scale fire and serious damage to the infrastructure. According to the department, the attack was carried out using unidentified weapons, which led to a disruption in the operation of the station, through which about 42,4 million cubic meters of gas passed daily.
The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation has already initiated a criminal investigation, classifying the incident as a terrorist act. Russian authorities claim that the aim of the attack was to undermine the energy stability of the region and disrupt gas supplies to European consumers.
The Sudzha station, located near the border with Ukraine, has long been an important link in the gas transit system. Until recent events, it provided a significant portion of Russian gas supplies to Europe via the Ukrainian gas transportation network. Its strategic importance is heightening tensions around the incident, which could affect the energy security of several European countries, such as Slovakia and Hungary, that depend on this route.

Azov Gaining Power is 'Symptom of Collapse' of Remains of Ukraine's Civil Society
The destruction of the gas pumping station in Sudzha by Ukraine makes it look like Volodymyr Zelensky has “limited control” over the Ukrainian military and “limited to no control” over the neo-Nazi “Azov* forces,” USAF Ret. Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski tells Sputnik.
Due to their belief in their superiority over the rest of the Ukrainian troops, Azov militants “believe that the war was theirs, always, not the politicians, and certainly not Zelensky’s as a propped-up politician who actually ran on enforcing the Minsk II treaty, a ‘peace’ platform.”
“I think Azov, like many effective, violent and nationalistic military groups, disrespect politician on principles, as compromisers and double dealers. Traditionally, these are the 'generals' that the politicians fear, not the other way around,” says Kwiatkowski, a former US Department of Defense analyst.
Thus, there appears to be a danger of Azov exercising the “real political power” in Ukraine.
“It is a symptom of imminent collapse of what is left of Ukraine’s civil and political society, and it underlines the real problem that [US President Donald] Trump will have to face and has not yet — and that is how to help Ukraine recover a liberal and rights-based society at the conclusion of hostilities,” Kwiatkowski says.
“The anger of the Azov will not be quenched, even after Zelensky is gone and a new president elected."

Trump’s Proposed Ceasefire Already Violated by Ukraine – Russian FM Spokeswoman
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova commented on Ukraine’s continued attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, despite the partial ceasefire brokered by US President Donald Trump.
"How the US will handle this deranged terrorist scum going forward, and how they will manage to corral them back into some kind of stall and direction—this is a big question," Zakharova told Russian media.
Just hours after the Putin–Trump conversation, the Ukrainian regime reportedly launched a drone attack on oil facilities in Kavkazskaya village, in Russia’s Krasnodar Region, during the night of March 19. Debris from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) damaged a pipeline between fuel storage tanks, igniting a fire that continues to burn.

Ceasefire Was Broken Once Again💥Sides Are Preparing for a Major Battle⚔️ Military Summary 2025.03.21
- Putin/Ukraine UPDATE: Should Trump Withdraw from NATO?:
It’s clear the U.S. has carried Ukraine and NATO on its back for years, but should Trump make good on his threats and leave NATO forever? The Biden status quo and military spending kept Russia’s war on Ukraine going, with no end in sight. Now the Trump administration has brokered the first mutual ceasefire agreement of any kind between Russia and Ukraine since this war began three years ago. Critics call it the bare minimum, but could this be the first real step toward ending the war? Glenn heads to the chalkboard to give a full breakdown on America’s deepening ties with Ukraine since 2008 — from the billions in military aid to the Biden family’s shady connections to Trump’s impeachment over that infamous phone call with Zelenskyy. Has America’s commitment to Europe gone too far? Glenn gives a history lesson on the Cold War roots of America’s NATO alliance and wades into the debate: Is NATO a peace pact or a war trap?

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Leaked Video of 2020 Donbass Peace Talks Surfaces Online
🔹 Footage shows Zelensky’s chief of staff, Yermak, arguing with Russia’s deputy presidential chief, Kozak.
🔹 Yermak claims Ukraine and Russia agreed on 98% of the points, but Kozak counters that Ukraine’s version completely contradicts Russia’s proposal.
🔹 Kozak accuses Ukraine of wanting to sign a vague document just to later blame Russia and prolong the war.
🔹 They debate who should monitor the ceasefire in DNR/LNR—Kozak insists it won’t be Russia but the OSCE.
🔹 A dispute arises over wording about Ukraine’s military command, with Yermak saying Kyiv needs more time to decide. Kozak snaps back: “If you need more time, go deal with your other issues—you clearly have enough of them.”
🔹 Despite the tensions, the agreement was signed and took effect on July 27, 2020, significantly reducing mutual shelling for a time.

💥 Statements by the Russian Ministry of Defense on the Explosion at the Sudzha Gas Metering Station:
🔘 On the night of March 21, at approximately 00:20 Moscow time, the Kiev regime deliberately blew up the station, located just a few hundred meters from the border in the Kursk Oblast.
🔘 The explosion, carried out by retreating Ukrainian Armed Forces units, is a deliberate provocation by Kiev aimed at discrediting the peace initiatives of the U.S. president.
🔘 The Sudzha station, which pumped more than 40 million cubic meters of gas per day to Europe, had been under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces since August 7, 2024.
🔘 Throughout this period, Ukrainian units used the Sudzha station as one of their "safe" logistical hubs.

This was stated by Viktor Bout at the press conference “Crimes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the SBU against Russian Servicemen”, which was held at the "Russia Today" media group.

🇺🇦 SBU Blocks Ukraine's Oldest Anti-Corruption Website
The ORD website, which had been operating since 2004 and published high-profile materials about Ukrainian corruption, is currently blocked in Ukraine.
According to reports, the State Special Communications Service carried out the blocking without a court order, at the request of the SBU.
The site's editor-in-chief, Stanislav Rechinsky, believes the blocking is linked to his personal conflict with Defense Intelligence officer Dmitry Usov, who previously worked for the SBU.
According to Rechinsky, Usov oversees prisoner exchanges and selects only those who are willing to pay large sums of money. Prisoners who refuse to pay for their release (or cannot afford to) are not included in the exchange lists.
Of course, it's impossible to completely shut down ORD — “there’s VPN, there are Telegram mirrors” — but a significant blow has been dealt to the remnants of so-called “freedom of speech” in Ukraine. As the saying goes, “the most democratic country in Europe.”
