🇨🇳China says it will not sell weapons to any party to the war in Ukraine and will control the export of dual-use goods

📢China will not sell weapons to any party to the war in Ukraine, Foreign Minister Qin Gang said on Friday, responding to Western concerns that Beijing may provide military assistance to Muscovy, the AP news agency reports.

💭Regarding the export of military items, China adopts a prudent and responsible attitude,” <...> “China will not provide weapons to relevant parties of the conflict, and manage and control the exports of dual-use items in accordance with laws and regulations,” the minister said.

🤔We would really like to see this in practice, because the level of mutual partnership between China and Muscovy is very high, and we would like to remind you that dual-use goods such as Mavic 3T drones, anti-drone guns, etc. will be purchased by massive numbers of Russian volunteers from China. It's time to open our eyes a little wider to the control of these goods, based on the above statements.

🤷🏻‍♂️But even these are essentially empty statements, because politically, diplomatically, and worst of all, economically, China is actively cooperating and has built powerful ties with the muscovites

Situation on the frontlines as of April 14, 2023

▶️ On the Belarusian and Siverskyi direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Svatove direction — local battles continue along the contact line and artillery fire from both sides.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — katsaps improved their tactical position in Bilohorivka (L). The situation in Bakhmut has been clarified. The enemy is trying to pass through the alley of roses and secure themselves near the train station.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — the area of the highway west of Novobakhmutivka has been clarified. The enemy is slowing down due to weather. The enemy continues attempts to improve their tactical position in Pervomaysk, Maryinka, and near Nevelske, Vuhledar.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. The weather's global impact is felt almost everywhere these days. The russian army remains capable of carrying out offensive actions simultaneously in several locations. The russian military leadership's tasks for 2023 remain unchanged, but none have been fulfilled. Information about the capture of katsap regulars in Bakhmut is received, but we have no actual confirmation. The enemy has minor success in Bilohorivka, which is crucial for further defensive actions in the Serebryansky forestry.

🇫🇷Macron signs law on controversial pension reform

📝Today, April 15, it became known in the morning that French President Emmanuel Macron has signed the law that provides for an increase in the retirement age. The government claims that the law is absolutely necessary to prevent a pension budget deficit.

⚖️ This law is notoriously known because it has led to significant strikes and street riots, causing a transportation collapse in the country.

🤷‍♂️ Interestingly, just a few days earlier, the labor union asked Macron not to approve the decision of the Constitutional Council of France regarding the law, but this was ignored.

💬 "This is not the end," says the trade union, as they were expecting to gather 4.8 million signatures for a national referendum the day before.

🎥A video that is currently circulating on the internet, showing local residents cheering for Ukrainian soldiers, actually comes from the vicinity of Snihurivka and first appeared in the fall of last year.

⚠️This is not the vicinity of Marfopil. Please be cautious with the information being shared, no matter how joyful it may be.
