    Moscow to respond to Latvia’s expulsion of Russian diplomat, MFA says

    Latvian Foreign Minister Krisjanis Karins earlier decided to declare a Russian diplomat persona non grata
    MOSCOW, March 27. /TASS/. Moscow will respond to Latvia’s decision to expel a Russian diplomat, a Russian Foreign Ministry official told TASS.

    "Russia will give an appropriate response," the official said.

    Latvian Foreign Minister Krisjanis Karins earlier decided to declare a Russian diplomat persona non grata. The Latvian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the diplomat must leave the country by the end of the day on April 10.

    • Putin blames US and Ukraine for orchestrating ISIS terror attack on Moscow:

    We know that the crime was committed by radical Islamists, whose ideology the Islamic world itself has been fighting for centuries. But we also see that the United States, through various channels, is trying to convince its satellites and other countries of the world that, according to their intelligence data, there is supposedly no Kiev trace in the Moscow terrorist attack, that the bloody terrorist attack was carried out by followers of Islam, members of the ISIS organization banned in Russia.

    We know by whose hands this atrocity was committed against Russia and its people. We are interested in who the customer is. In the course of joint work between our intelligence services and law enforcement agencies, it is necessary to obtain answers to a number of questions.

    For example: are radical and even terrorist Islamic organizations really interested in striking Russia, which today stands for a fair solution to the escalating Middle East conflict? And how do radical Islamists, who position themselves, by the way, as devout Muslims, professing so-called pure Islam, commit serious atrocities and crimes during the holy month of Ramadan for all Muslims?

    These, as well as other, more specific, professional questions for an objective investigation of the crime committed in Moscow, have to be answered. One thing is absolutely clear: the terrible crime committed on March 22 in the capital of Russia is an act of intimidation, as I have already said.

    And the question immediately arises: who benefits from this? This atrocity may be only a link in a whole series of attempts by those who have been fighting our country since 2014 at the hands of the neo-Nazi Kyiv regime. And the Nazis, as is well known, never disdained to use the most dirty and inhumane means to achieve their goals.

    Especially today, when their advertised counter-offensive has completely failed. This is already recognized by everyone and is not disputed. The Russian Armed Forces hold the initiative along the entire line of combat contact, and all the measures taken by the enemy to stabilize the front do not bring success.

    Hence the attempts to enter and gain a foothold in our border territories, shelling, including using multiple launch rocket systems, of peaceful neighborhoods, civilian infrastructure, including energy infrastructure, attempted missile attacks on the Crimean Bridge and the peninsula itself.

    Bloody acts of intimidation, such as the terrorist attack committed in Moscow, quite logically fit into this series. The goal, as I already said, is to sow panic in our society and at the same time show our own population that all is not lost for the Kyiv regime.
    No need to follow anyone, only consider broadening (y)our horizon of possibilities ...

    Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmygal has said that the World Bank will provide Kiev with a $1.5 billion budget replacement loan.

    "The World Bank's Board of Executive Directors has approved a decision to provide $1.5 billion to Ukraine as part of a loan to support development policy. Of this amount, $984 million will come from Japan and $516 million from the UK," he said.

    According to Ukrainian Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko, the funds will be used to support Ukraine's state budget and economic recovery, and to finance priority social and humanitarian expenditures of the state budget.


    This sounds like news-speak perhaps best interpreted as "a loan to pay the other loan" (IMF).


    I think it would be fair to say the two institutions are a bit like twin sharks prowling the tank.

    I can't say I can fathom why such a robust amount would appear to come from Japan, or, if the Japanese know anything about the decision-making process either.

    I believe the sharks will accept timely payments in lieu of asset seizure, if such is the long-term goal.

    The post-conflict scenario is rather like the major stakeholders such as Cargill, etc., being relatively unaffected, and most everything else scrapped and firesold to creditors.

    "Development" and "recovery" are two entirely inappropriate words written to mask the scent of Vultures.

    Excerpts from Ambassador Gennady Gatilov’s opening statement during his briefing with members of ACANU (https://www.acanu.ch/index.html) (Association of Accredited Journalists at the UN)

    This, from March 26th:
    On March 22, our country was hit by a terrorist attack, the scale and brutality of which Russia hasn’t seen for the past 20 years. 137 people confirmed dead and over 180 injured in the tragic events at the Crocus City Hall. We are grateful to the host country, UN high-ranking officials, fellow diplomats and ordinary Swiss citizens for expressing their sympathies, condolences and condemnation of the attack. As our President has stated, all perpetrators will face fair and inevitable punishment, whoever they may be, whoever directed them.

    🗳️ During the recent presidential elections in Russia, the will of over 76 million of its citizens, 87% of whom voted for Vladimir Putin, is evident. We do not care that certain Western states consider the elections unfair - we have the statistics and numbers that say otherwise. The Russian people have expressed their unequivocal support and trust in the political and economic course of the country's development. Which, among other things, means that Russia will continue to uphold its sovereign and independent foreign policy and protect its citizens across all Russia and its new regions.

    🇺🇦 The Ukrainian crisis could have been resolved in April 2022, until the Western mentors of Zelenskiy convinced him to pursue a violent path. A big miscalculation, which has already led to unnecessary loss of life, and one that will be the undoing of the Zelenskiy regime.

    🇺🇳 As far as UN Geneva affairs are concerned, the current situation within the UN Human Rights Council continues to be especially disturbing. There is an urgent need to prevent the increasing trend of turning the Council into an instrument, which caters to political whims of just a single group of countries, punishing other governments for their independent domestic and foreign policies.

    Placeholder ONLY post for this forthcoming documentary which we should really archive after its release:

    Source/website: https://filmsasiedzi.pl/

    NEIGHBORS: Last Witnesses of the Ukrainian Genocide against Poles

    Background (excerpt)

    Trailer: https://filmsasiedzi.pl/film/zwiastun-filmu/



    From the director:
    A documentary film is being made about the Ukrainian genocide against Poles in 1939-1947 and Banderism in the 21st century. Premiere of a documentary film directed by Jacek Międlar entitled "Neighbors. “The Last Witnesses of the Ukrainian Genocide against Poles” is scheduled for July 2024. The film will be publicly available and will be released in six languages: Polish, English, Ukrainian, Hungarian, Russian and Czech.

    The Polish authorities, through tacit acceptance of Banderism, de facto legitimize the cult of murderers of Poles. This must end badly, because anyone who allows the victims' memory to be tarnished deserves neither respect nor to be treated seriously. It's high time that, in the era of permanent repetition of historical lies and attempts to "rewrite history", a film was created that would put the lie to all historical manipulations and falsifications.

    I have several dozen original interviews with Witnesses of the Ukrainian genocide against Poles, which I conducted [author of the description: Jacek Międlar] in the years 2019-2024. I use fragments of these recordings in the production of the film, because I believe that the accounts of Witnesses are the most valuable evidence today in the case of the Ukrainian genocide against Poles, and it is to them, the Witnesses of these events, that we should give a voice in the first place. Moreover, the film includes, among others: it will include other archival materials and statements by experts (professors of history and political science), social activists and "rank and file" citizens.

    The film is based on my book entitled "Neighbors. The Last Witnesses of the Ukrainian Genocide against Poles”, the next volumes of which I am still writing.

    With respect
    JACEK MIĘDLAR

    Russia May Not Need to Recognize Zelensky's Legitimacy After May 21
    - Lavrov 5 hours ago

    MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russia may not need to recognize Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as the legitimate leader of Ukraine after his presidential term expires on May 21, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Thursday.

    "Speaking of May 20 and what will happen on May 21, let us live until that time first. Perhaps there will be no need to recognize anything then," Lavrov said, while commenting on Russian Ambassador to the United Nations Vassily Nebenzia's remark that Zelesky's decision not to hold a presidential election would make him illegitimate as the Ukrainian leader from May 21.

    The presidential election was supposed to take place in Ukraine in the spring of 2024 in accordance with the country's legislation. However, the Ukrainian constitution prohibits holding elections under martial law, which has been in effect in the country since the beginning of Russia's military operation.

    In February, the Ukrainian parliament approved the extension of martial law in the country for another 90 days.

    Russian soldier thanks Biden for sending Abrams tanks to Ukraine



    RT.com
    Sun, 03 Mar 2024

    The troops are offered bonuses for each piece of Western equipment they destroy.


    A US M1 Abrams tank.

    Russian soldiers have apparently recorded a video in which one of them mockingly thanks US President Joe Biden for supplying Kiev with Abrams tanks and giving the troops the opportunity to earn some extra cash for destroying them. This comes amid reports of several US-made heavy armor pieces being destroyed in less than a week.

    A short clip that surfaced on social media features an apparent Russian serviceman in full military gear. "We, Russian warriors express our sincere gratitude to you for the Abrams tanks that the US is supplying to Ukraine," he says, addressing Biden in English.

    The man goes on to explain that Russian troops are offered bonuses for each piece of Western equipment they destroy, and asks Biden to send more Abrams tanks, as those that have arrived in Ukraine "are very few" and the troops have to spend a lot of time hunting them down.


    The US announced the delivery of 31 Abrams tanks to Ukraine in January 2023, but they did not arrive until the autumn, and were absent from the front line until February of this year.

    The soldier added that there are not enough American tanks in Ukraine for every Russian serviceman to receive their bonuses, and offered Biden a 10% commission for each tank they destroy. He also suggested that Biden should get a Russian MIR debit card to make it easier for the soldiers to send him the money.

    The video ends with the serviceman mockingly praising Biden as "a true patriot and the best US president," while expressing hope for "a mutually beneficial partnership." "Together, we will win!" he adds.

    Earlier on Sunday, it was reported that an Abrams tank and a US-made mine-clearance vehicle based on an Abrams chassis were destroyed in Donbass. Last week, the Russian Defense Ministry confirmed the destruction of the first US-made heavy armor in the Ukraine conflict.

    Sadly most of russians share the same opinion and think baltic region is something that is theirs.At this point Estonia is more than 50% slavic and most of them are Putin supporters.Which means that they want Estonia to be taken over by Russia.Soviet re-union.
    My unpopular opinion - if russians like history so much then lets adapt these borders.

    But yeah they dont want to go that far with their history....Estonians have been in same place for 10 000 years,probably longer than anybody else in europe....

    its weird that these slavic mongoloids think they have any right for this land but sadly they do and most likely they will occupie it once again.Just a matter of time.

    My unpopular opinion - if russians like history so much then lets adapt these borders.

    The reason we would not want to do that is because Kievan Rus was an imported Swedish system that was brought in by invitation because the "system of Khazaria" was basically non-existent. Relatives had basically never stopped killing each other for land inheritances. The interesting part is that Sweden had been trading through there and obtaining products from the Black Sea or beyond for centuries. And, the Ukrainian region became...lawless and violent enough for them to take power.


    History of Estonia tells me it was disconnected from the main flux for a thousand years:


    The Pre-Roman Iron Age began in Estonia about 500 BC and lasted until the middle of the 1st century AD. The oldest iron items were imported...


    A good example of being attacked for what you think:


    ...crusaders initiated raids into part of what is present-day Estonia in 1208. Estonian tribes fiercely resisted the attacks from Riga and occasionally themselves sacked territories controlled by the crusaders.


    So, it was not a country, and undoubtedly, north-eastern Europe becomes a bone of contention between Sweden, Poland-Lithuania, and Russia, and it turns out that Russia became victorious. Places that would become Estonia were surrendered by Sweden and by treaty were given to Russia.


    I would say the moment of Estonia's entrance into Russia marks the most important topic that receives no attention, two treaties known as the Peace of Westphalia 1648:


    They ended the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) and brought peace to the Holy Roman Empire, closing a calamitous period of European history that killed approximately eight million people.

    Several scholars of international relations have identified the Peace of Westphalia as the origin of principles crucial to modern international relations, collectively known as Westphalian sovereignty.


    I would suggest we all should look into what that is and why has it been brushed aside and forgotten.

    No other Peace Treaties are like that, instead, they seem to be pre-determined to fail, often in terms of money, or making artificial borders for divide and conquer tactics. You might as well call the Treaty of Versailles, Complete Damnation. Almost everything else is like that, at least, in terms of the western "Powers" that drafted it all.

    If they hadn't done that, the Nazis could not have plowed the area, and so forth. That wasn't Westphalian.

    Neither were the Soviets.


    During its earlier period in the Russian Empire:


    By 1819, the Baltic provinces were the first in the Russian empire in which serfdom was abolished, enabling an increasing number of farmers to rent or purchase land, as well as triggering a wave of internal migration of landless rural Estonians into the growing cities. These moves created the economic foundation for the coming to life of the Estonian national identity, as the country was caught in a current of national awakening that began sweeping through Europe in the mid-19th century.

    Estonia as a unified political entity first emerged after the Russian February Revolution of 1917.



    That's superficially like Ukraine. At times the area has been half occupied by two Empires. At others, bits and pieces of it have been in various hands, and it has been compelled to be a battleground for the entire advent of military technology. It experienced a "Jewish migration" long before anyone thought of Israel.

    The idea that Russia "just wants to capture Alaska" eludes me, but, I can understand the tense relations.

    Over 1,600 planes affected by mysterious GPS jamming across Europe

    More than 1,600 planes have been hit by mysterious GPS jamming across Europe since Sunday, Daily Mail reported. Many fear Russia is behind this.

    Extent of GPS jamming of planes across Northern Europe revealed

    Planes flying over and near the Baltic Sea in northern Europe have faced technical issues due to jamming. A total of 1614 planes, mostly civilian, have reported problems since then.

    A map shared on X by an open-source intelligence account, which monitors interference, displays incidents spread across Poland and southern Sweden, reported lbc.co.uk.

    Although most incidents seem to be in Polish airspace, OSINT blogs have mentioned that planes flying in airspace belonging to Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Latvia, and Lithuania have also experienced interference problems.

    According to lbc.co.uk, there seems to be minimal to no interference in Belarus, a strong ally of Russia, or in Kaliningrad, the Russian province separated from the mainland by sea and land.

    Newsweek stated that the increase in interference is mainly linked to the Kaliningrad region, where Russia is thought to possess significant resources for electronic warfare.

    Russian military’s advanced interference capabilities raise concerns for NATO

    According to a Lithuanian defense source, the Russian armed forces have various military equipment designed for interfering with Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), such as jamming and spoofing, with different ranges, durations, and intensities.

    A prominent military expert highlighted that Russia’s superiority in electronic warfare should serve as a warning for the UK’s military.”Those capabilities are used to create an ‘atmosphere of threat and a sense of helplessness in society”, a Polish Defense Ministry official said.

    Dr. Melanie Garson, who is an associate professor of International Security at University College London, shared her thoughts with Forces.net about the recent European planes GPS jamming incident.

    The UCL professor said: “Russia particularly has previously had an edge on this and they have necessity. The mother of invention over the last two years during the war have actually actively solidified their capabilities in this regard.

    They’ve had the chance to use it more concretely and there’s a real concern that, particularly NATO, currently doesn’t match that capability.”

    More than 1,600 planes have been hit by a mysterious interference that many fear Russia is behind.

    Planes flying over and around the Baltic Sea in northern Europe have been suffering technical problems caused by jamming since Sunday, with 1614 planes, mostly civilian, reporting problems since then.

    While most of them appear to be taking place in Polish airspace, OSINT blogs have reported that planes flying in German, Danish, Swedish, Latvian and Lithuanian airspace have suffered interference problems.

    Notably, little to no interference appears to be taking place in Belarus, a staunch Russian ally, or Kaliningrad, the Russian province separated from the mainland by sea and land.

    The planes appear to be suffering from GPS jamming, which can confuse pilots as this can make them believe they are in a different location than they actually are.

    Newsweek reported that the uptick in interference can largely be attributed to the Kaliningrad region, where Russia is believed to have significant resources for the use of electronic warfaRe.

    A Lithuanian defence source told the outlet: 'Russian armed forces have a wide spectrum of military equipment dedicated for GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) interference, including jamming and spoofing, at varying distances, duration and intensity.'

    A leading military expert said that Russia's dominance in the electronics war should be a 'wake-up call' for the UK's military.

    Dr Melanie Garson, associate professor of International Security at University College London, told Forces.net: 'Russia particularly has previously had an edge on this and they have necessity.

    'The mother of invention over the last two years during the war have actually actively solidified their capabilities in this regard.

    'They've had the chance to use it more concretely and there's a real concern that, particularly Nato, currently doesn't match that capability.'

    Summary of the fighting on the Ukrainian front from the Russian telegram channel Two Majors on the morning of March 29, 2024

    In the second half of the night, the Russian Armed Forces launched missiles from strategic missile carriers Tu-95ms and 3 MiG-31K.

    Explosions were reported in the early morning in the Odessa region, the city of Stryi in the Lviv region, Kremenchuk and Mirgorod in the Poltava region, Shepetovka and Khmelnitsky in the Khmelnytsky region, Korosten in the Zhytomyr region, Kanev in the Cherkasy region, Dnepropetrovsk and in the city of Burshtyn in the Ivano-Frankivsk region.

    The enemy claimed the use of missile weapons from the territory of Crimea and the Geran UAV, which indicates the combined nature of the strikes. Immediately after the explosions, power outages were reported in different regions of Ukraine.

    There are no significant changes in the situation in the Kherson direction, the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to strike at civilian infrastructure. A gas station and an electric substation in Kakhovka were shelled.

    On the Zaporozhye front, there are counter battles in the area of Rabocino and Verbovoye. The enemy uses a lot of drones and cluster artillery ammunition. The enemy is preparing a second line of defense at Orekhov.

    In Novomikhailovka (south of Marinka), the Russian Armed Forces are fighting in the center of the village, fighting is going on for every building.

    The assault on Semenovka continues west of Avdiivka: our troops are attacking the settlement from the south.

    In the direction of the Chasov Yar, the AFU counterattacks at Ivanovsky (Krasny). Apparently, the enemy is trying to buy time to build up forces in the Chapel, an important node of defense. There are battles in Bogdanovka and Kleshcheyevka.

    The AFU continues shelling the Belgorod region from MLRS, strikes with drones. One wounded civilian was reported in the New Tavolzhanka of the Shebekinsky urban district. At night, 15 air targets were shot down on approach to Belgorod.

    🇷🇺⚡The Russian MoD has confirmed the destruction of major energy facilities in Ukraine. Blackout across Ukrainian cities.

    Truly not something to get excited about considering the Kremlin let Ukraine have power for 2yrs while the Americans cut off Iraq in a week.

    Energy facilities were never damaged during Autumn and winter.

    You still think this is a war? If it was 1,5mil Ukrainians would be collateral just like in Iraq.
