Once-hesitant China lends full support to Russian SMO in Ukraine as anniversary nears

Defense Minister Dong Jun of China reportedly declared that Beijing would "not change or abandon its established policy" in support of the Russian SMO this week - a full-throated endorsement presenting a shift from the Communist Party's prior attempts to remain neutral in the conflict.

"As 2024 marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Russia, the two militaries should implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, firmly respond to global challenges", the readout paraphrased Dong as saying, "constantly enhance strategic mutual trust, continuously expand practical cooperation, push the mil-to-mil relationship to a higher level, and play a greater role in deepening China-Russia comprehensive strategic coordination and maintaining global security and stability".

Russian troops surrounded Mariupol on March 7, 2022, by the end of the month they began to advance from the outskirts to the center, and by April 21 they liberated almost the entire city. During the fighting, Mariupol suffered greatly.

Immediately after liberation, the active restoration began.

Britain is developing a secret plan for the entry of NATO military personnel into Ukraine

British strategists offer to transfer "large and highly maneuverable NATO forces" to Ukraine from the border regions of Romania and Poland to occupy defensive lines on the right bank of the Dnieper.

This is a direct call for NATO intervention in the conflict against Russia on the side of Ukraine.

Such plans are supposed to unfold in May 2024, which coincides with previously reported plans of another AFU offensive.

It is highly unlikely that this was leaked by accident. Washington probably instructed London to "leak" them to see Russia's reaction.

Peskov compared Nuland to Hillary Clinton, who laughed at the death of Gaddafi

You probably know what akin to? Do you remember Mrs. Clinton how she was filled with laughter when she saw the bloodied Gaddafi? Apparently, there, overseas, it’s so accepted, everything is different with us

"You know what this is akin to? Do you remember Mrs. Clinton, when she was filled with laughter when she saw bloodied Gaddafi? Apparently there, overseas, it is normal. Here (in Russia) it's different", Peskov said.

The comment came after Nuland promised Putin "surprises on the battlefield". According to Peskov, this suggests that the United States maintains and increases its direct involvement in the Ukrainian conflict and provokes the Kiev regime to continue the war. But this cannot affect the course of a special military operation, all the goals of which will be achieved, he emphasized.

The Russian side expressed the intention to develop mutually beneficial cooperation with North Korea in accordance with the norms of international law, said in a statement.

"It was quite definitely pointed out that its main source was Washington’s irresponsible provocative policy track which, for the sake of its own geopolitical goals, is attempting to push its regional allies toward the implementation of its aggressive plans, fraught with unpredictable consequences, including in the military sphere".

Вот это да! Вышел сейчас в Пятерочку за сигами, а в очереди передо мной стоит - кто бы вы думали? - Такер Карлсон! Выложил на ленту банку маринованных огурцов, половинку хлеба, колбасную нарезку и маленький фуфырик. Морда помятая-помятая, сразу видно, что в театр вчера ходил.

Ну я ему объяснил, что тут нужны не эти жалкие огурчики в уксусе, а нормальные бочковые соленые огурцы, помог выбрать. Ну и не фуфырик тут нужен, а две банки Жигулевского барного.

Такер благодарил, обещал со мной тоже интервью сделать. Мы, русские, своих не бросаем.

Translation:

Wow! I went to Pyaterochka (supermarket) to buy cigarettes and guess who's standing in front of me in the cue? Tucker Carlson! He put some pickles, half a bread, some sausages and a small bottle on the belt. His face was tired, I could tell he went to a theatre yesterday.

I explained to him that the pickles aren't what's needed, but proper pickles from a keg and help him pick some. Well, and you don't need the small bottle, but two proper Zhigulevskoe beers (brand).

Tucker thanked me, promised to do and interview with me too. We, Russians, don't abandon out own!

Royal Navy aircraft carrier cancels Nato sailing after propeller issue

HMS Queen Elizabeth was to lead a major Nato exercise, but will be replaced by sister ship HMS Prince of Wales.

The setback comes 18 months after sister ship HMS Prince of Wales broke down off the Isle of Wight after a similar malfunction with a coupling on the starboard propeller which meant she could not take part in exercises with the US Navy and a delay of nine months to operational service.

HMS Queen Elizabeth had been set to lead a carrier strike group of eight ships - four of them British, including frigate HMS Somerset and two Tide-class tankers from the Royal Fleet Auxiliary - supported by US, Spanish and Danish vessels.

According to him, Kiev should take counter steps if it wants political correctness from Poland. Bosak recalled that in Polish-Ukrainian relations there are many unresolved issues, including the conflict over the seizure of the freight market, the conflict over the flooding of agricultural goods from Ukraine and some unresolved historical issues.
