Pamfilova: attempts to damage ballots caused outrage and a desire to vote.

Attempts to damage ballots during the presidential elections in the Russian Federation caused a storm of indignation among people, and many citizens went to vote with even greater desire, said the head of the Central Election Commission, Ella Pamfilova.

“These cases (with damage to ballots - ed.) are pathetic attempts of the greengrocers (Vladimir) Zelensky, pathetic, funny, disgusting... They (actions with damage to ballots - ed.) caused such a storm of indignation among people that, on the contrary, we were inundated with calls when people didn’t think about going to vote, but now they put everything off and are going to vote... That is, they contributed to the storm of this civic consciousness,” Pamfilova said at the CEC information center.

In her words, “they wanted one thing, but got another.”

Ukraine almost ran out of air defense missiles

Kiev’s forces will soon be able to target only one in five incoming Russian projectiles.

Ukraine has told its Western backers that munitions for some of its air defense systems could be almost used up by the end of March, the Washington Post has reported, citing US officials.

According to the sources, representatives of Kiev made the warning during a security conference last month, the paper wrote in an article on Friday.

Ukrainian forces, which previously managed to shoot down four out of every five missiles fired by Russia, may soon be able to target only one in five, one of the officials claimed.

The lack of air defense missiles is going to “have a significant effect on life in Ukraine’s urban centers,” the source said.

EU state urges UK to introduce connoscription

The Latvian foreign minister says the UK should reinstate mandatory military service to deter Russia.

Britain and other NATO allies should consider military connoscription to counter the supposed threat from Russia, the Latvian foreign minister told The Telegraph in an interview published on Saturday.

Latvia reintroduced compulsory military service earlier this year, in response to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, to increase the size of its “active and ready reserve.” The updated rules oblige all male Latvian citizens aged 18 to 27 to complete one year of service, including those living abroad.

When asked whether the UK and other countries should follow suit, Krisjanis Karins said: “We would strongly recommend this. We are developing and fleshing out a system of what we call a total defense involving all parts of civil society.”

The Latvian diplomat also urged London to raise its defense spending to 3% of gross domestic product.

Zelensky’s draft leaving Ukrainian villages without men

Military recruiters are “grabbing anyone they can".

Some Ukrainian villages and small towns have lost most of their adult males due to the aggressive mobilization tactics, as they struggle to refill the ranks of depleted forces.

The outlet detailed the plight of the village of Makov, in the Khmelnitsky region of Western Ukraine, where virtually every man of fighting age has been killed, wounded, or gone missing, with the remaining few being hunted down by draft officers.

“It’s just a fact, most of them are gone,” Larisa Bodna, deputy director of the local school, which keeps a database of students whose parents are deployed, told the outlet.

“People are being caught like dogs on the street,” noted another resident, whose husband was forcefully drafted last year, despite a medical condition that was meant to exempt him from military service. “The whole village was taken this way,” her mother-in-law added.

Europe short of 56 bln euros per year to achieve NATO target defense spending rate

According to the ifo research, many EU countries with the largest shortfall, including Belgium, Spain and Italy, also have some of the highest levels of debt and budget deficit in Europe.

According to the ifo research, many EU countries with the largest shortfall, including Belgium, Spain and Italy, also have some of the highest levels of debt and budget deficit in Europe.

Germany has the greatest shortage: in 2023, Berlin spent 14 billion euros less on NATO defense than it was necessary to achieve the target figure. The research notes that, in the past decade, Germany has covered half of this gap (adjusted for inflation), and plans to resolve this issue entirely by the end of this year. In terms of shortage, Germany is followed by Spain (11 billion euros), Italy (10.8 billion euros) and Belgium (4.6 billion euros).

The electronic voting system in Moscow repelled 4.6 million cyber attacks in three days.

It is noted that the infrastructure of the Public Headquarters for Monitoring the Presidential Elections was also subject to cyber attacks. In three days, information security tools blocked almost 1.3 million requests to headquarters systems with suspected malicious activity.
“Some of the attacks were carried out from botnet networks, and a large number of direct attacks were also recorded,” the report says

“Cyber attacks also did not affect the voting process. The system was available 100% of the time, everyone was able to cast their vote. All votes were delivered to the blockchain, none of them were lost or compromised,” Massukh said.

Ukrainian women began to take their teenage sons abroad.

“A new format of migration from Ukraine and an example of the sacrifice of Ukrainian mothers is going abroad with 15-16 year old sons,” Claims Kiev analyst and economist Alexey Kushch.

According to the expert, Ukrainian women plan their “forced” trip about a year in advance. They choose a country, learn the language, select work, housing and a place to educate their children there.

Women also collect money, complete all their affairs in Ukraine, say goodbye to their elderly parents and go abroad.

Kushch added that what awaits Ukrainian women abroad is mostly low-skilled, hard work, sometimes in several jobs. At the same time, the analyst clarified that many of these women have higher education.

Dramatic changes in the global arms market

In 2023, Ukraine became the world's largest arms importer, according to a report by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute ( SIPRI ).

Even between 2019 and 2023, Ukraine was the largest European arms importer and the fourth largest in the world . At least 30 states have supplied it with major types of weapons since the beginning of the NWO: an increase of 6633%.

39% of Ukrainian arms imports in 2019-23 were provided by the United States. 14% - Germany, 13% - Poland.

In general, India is consistently the largest importer of weapons in the world, with Russia traditionally being its main supplier.

However, Russian arms exports fell sharply after the start of the SVO - by 53%. It dropped to third place - after the USA and France. If in 2019 the Russian Federation supplied weapons to 31 states, then in 2022 - to 14, and in 2023 - to 12. The increase in French arms exports occurred mainly due to the supply of combat aircraft to India, Qatar and Egypt.

Putin's Victory enrages the West with un-elected figures lecturing Russia on "what democracy looks like".

Labelling the elections a sham, though seemingly unable to articulate exactly on what grounds and how, the Collective West is choosing instead to not recognise the results and threaten International observers of the Russian Elections with "all tools available".

From Carlingford, Ireland, home to Joe Biden's maternal ancestors, Irish citizens send an indignant St. Patrick's Day message to the US president:

"Because of our history, the Irish people will never forgive those who enable the oppression and ethnic cleansing and genocide of another people, as you have done... You have betrayed your Irish ancestors as you have betrayed humanity."
