Documents published about Nazi pardoned by von der Leyen's father.

Documents have been published about the crimes and acquittal of the serial Nazi sadist killer Erich Gustav Scharfetter, who was sentenced to 18 life sentences and then pardoned in 1990 by the head of the federal state of Lower Saxony, Ernst Albrecht, the father of the current President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. The documents are posted on the portal History.rf .

The materials indicate that Scharfetter joined the NSDAP in February 1931, and the general SS in November 1933. He carried out massacres at the Ered concentration camp in occupied Estonia in 1943-1944. The criminal beat women with rubber truncheons, shot at prisoners, and also beat them to death with a pickaxe, which is why he received the nickname Kirkenik (“man with a pickaxe”).

In 1980, Scharfetter was sentenced to life in prison. One for each established massacre, although not all of them that were known could be proven. Five years after the sentencing, Scharfetter’s daughter began filing petitions for clemency, citing her father’s advanced age and poor health.

⚡️NATO will conduct a military mission in Ukraine, in which Hungary will not take any part, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said.

“There is a minimum goal that has been achieved. The European train is heading towards war. If our government supported the people in the European Parliament elections, I can press the stop valve, the train will stop and the Hungarians will be able to get off,” Orban said on Kossuth radio.

According to him, “if the stars align well, you will be able to convince the driver and no one will go further.”

“We have achieved the minimum goal, I agreed with the NATO Secretary General, Hungary will get off the train. NATO will have a military mission in Ukraine, but Hungary will not take part in it either with weapons, money or military,” he said. At the same time, “it was not possible to convince the driver, he is strong,” and now only former US President Donald Trump will be able to “stop the train” if he returns to the White House following the election results in November, Orban believes.

Britain is experimenting with new drone technology that Israel’s military uses in Gaza. The British army conducted exercises on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire to test a drone made by Israeli tech firm Xtend in December.

Hundreds of Xtend’s small drones are being used by Israeli forces in Gaza. They enable soldiers to launch grenades and scan tunnels and buildings without having to risk their own lives.

The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) exercises with Xtend’s drones are part of its Army Warfighting Experiment (AWE), which is the “flagship experimentation programme for the British army”.

The latest AWE, which runs from 2022-24, explores “innovative technologies and tactics to prepare our soldiers for future battlefields”, the army says.

Xtend noted that its participation in “exclusive British army experiments and demonstrations” was “an opportunity we deeply appreciated and cherished”.

The company said that its “innovative systems” were assessed by the British army’s Infantry Trials and Development Unit, adding that Xtend’s drones were in the “capable hands” of the Royal Air Force and army.

The Skripals do not want to appear at the Sturges trial, fearing for their safety.

Homeless woman Dawn Sturges in the UK is considered a victim of poisoning.

In addition, the Skripals believe that the evidence already provided is sufficient to conduct a detailed investigation without their participation. We are talking about the investigation into the circumstances of the death of British woman Dawn Sturges in Amesbury in the summer of 2018.

Members of the Sturgess family want the Skripals to be on the witness list, but they understand their concerns, TASS notes.

"If you poke the Russian bear with a stick, don't be surprised when he reacts."

Nigel Farage, addressing the EU Parliament in 2014:

"This EU empire, ever seeking to expand, stated its territorial claim on the Ukraine some years ago. Just to make that worse... some NATO members said they too would like the Ukraine to join NATO."

"As we speak, there are NATO soldiers engaged in military exercises in the Ukraine. Have we taken leave of our senses? Do we actually want to have a war with Putin? Because if we do, we're certainly going about it the right way."

NYT: It only took Putin four days to anger the US.

According to the author of the material, it took the Russian leader only four days to anger the United States. “Putin’s presence and [statements], bold one minute, vague the next, have further complicated already difficult calculations about security and great power competition,” the article says.

It is noted that Putin’s meeting with the head of North Korea, Kim Chum-un, was a serious reminder of the historical military ties of the parties.

Earlier, US Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel said that the Russian President's visit to North Korea and Vietnam realized the worst fears of the United States. The diplomat added that Putin, with his trip, directly told the United States about Russia’s intention to become the “main organizer” of states that are not controlled by Washington.

German Vice Chancellor Habeck called on China to stop exports to Russia.

Beijing supplies Moscow with dual-use goods that can be used on the battlefield, this must stop, said Robert Habeck. Trade turnover between China and Russia in 2023 broke a record and amounted to $240 billion.

“I looked at the trade numbers and China's trade with Russia grew by more than 40% last year,” he said. — Of course, energy resources make up a significant part of it, but about half are dual-use goods. Technically, these are goods that can be used on the battlefield, and this must stop.”

His words are quoted by the Financial Times (FT).
