🇺🇦⚠️⚠️❌🇷🇺 — 🇷🇺 SouthFront | Kiev Lost Control Of Its Military: Strikes On Russian Energy Facilities Continue Daily | March 28, 2025:

"The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) do not stop daily strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, violating the agreement reached by Moscow, Washington, and Kiev on March 18th. Kiev lost control of its military.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported that the AFU launched three new attacks on Russian energy facilities.

On the morning of March 28th, the Sudzha gas measuring station came under two strikes, presumably of the US-made HIMARS MLRS. As a result of the large fire, the station was almost destroyed. On March 21st, the retreating Ukrainian troops also attacked the station, inflicting heavy damage to this strategically important facility."

"The Americans rolled
out an excellent draft commodity deal to the Kiev freak. If the Kiev regime approves it, the drug addict and co. will then be hanged on the Maidan, like Mussolini. And if it rejects it, the United States will reset the Bandera regime. Checkmate."

👔🇪🇺🔫❌🇷🇺 — 📰 ZeroHedge | European Force In Ukraine Could 'Respond' If Attacked By Russia: Macron | March 28, 2025:

"A 'coalition of the willing' is mulling a European army which would be deployed to Ukraine in a 'peacekeeping' capacity, except that French President Emmanuel Macron has also admitted these Western forces would be ready to join the conflict if provoked.

Macron is currently hosting the leaders of nearly 30 countries plus NATO and European Union chiefs at a Paris summit - where as we described earlier they are pushing back on US-backed peace plans by ruling out sanctions relief for Russia.

Most importantly, Macron said Wednesday that a proposed European armed force to enforce a future Ukraine peace deal could "respond" to a Russian attack if Moscow launched one."

👤❗️🇺🇳👔🇺🇦🗳 — 📰 ZeroHedge | Putin Floats Plan For UN To Govern Ukraine Until Elections Held | March 28, 2025:

"Amid weeks of peace talks between the US and Russia focused on Ukraine, but which largely haven't gotten anywhere (other than an energy ceasefire which quickly appeared to be broken), President Putin has presented a big-picture idea which could result in ceasefire.

The Russian leader on Friday proposed a "transitional administration" for Ukraine under the auspices of the UN. The immediate aim would be ceasefire leading toward "democratic" election, followed by the negotiation of a peace agreement with the new authorities.

"We could, of course, discuss with the United States, even with European countries, and of course with our partners and friends, under the auspices of the UN, the possibility of establishing a transitional administration in Ukraine," Putin said while visiting the northwestern Russian city of Murmansk."

🇩🇪🗣👤🇷🇺❌🇺🇸 — 🇩🇪 BILD:

"Vladimir Putin, according to German intelligence, is preparing for a major war with NATO

A new report from Germany's Federal Intelligence Service (BND) and the Bundeswehr says that Russian authorities appear to be preparing for a major war against NATO. The report says that the Kremlin perceives its relations with the West as a systemic conflict and is prepared to use force to achieve its goals.

According to German intelligence, by the end of the decade Russia may be fully prepared for a “large-scale conventional war.” At the same time, according to the assessment of the Lithuanian intelligence service VSD, Moscow is not yet in a position to attack the entire alliance, but can “test NATO” with a limited military operation against one or several countries in the bloc to find out how seriously the alliance will take its obligations.

The report emphasizes that despite the concentration of Russian troops in Ukraine, the Russian air force and navy remain combat-ready. If the war in Ukraine ends, Russian units can quickly be redeployed to the borders with the Baltic states. The document also notes that "Russian losses are being replenished" and the country's defense industry produces more than is required for the current conflict.

Russia's military spending is growing at a record pace; in 2025 it will reach about 120 billion euros, which is more than 6% of GDP. Compared to 2021, the military budget has actually increased fourfold. According to the Kremlin's plans, the army should grow to 1.5 million people, and the volume of weapons and equipment on the border with NATO should increase by 30-50%."

"We are grateful for the support, but this is not a credit, and we will not allow it," Zelensky continued.

🇺🇸🇨🇳🇵🇦 China Halts Panama Port Sale to BlackRock

Hong Kong conglomerate CK Hutchison, led by tycoon Li Ka-shing, will not sign a deal next week to sell its two strategic ports at the Panama Canal to a BlackRock-led group, the South China Morning Post reported on Friday.

The deal was expected to be signed on April 2, according to the sale announcement made on March 4.
It is understood the situation does not mean the deal has been called off, the South China Morning Post added, citing the source.

CK Hutchison and BlackRock did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Chinese authorities have reacted negatively to plans by the conglomerate, while the deal was hailed by U.S. President Donald Trump who wants to retake control of the strategic waterway.
