How did the Allied intervention in Russia take place?
At the end of 1917, the Entente countries were concerned about the actions of the Soviet government aimed at getting out of the First World War. Fearing the prospect of liquidating the Eastern Front, on December 23, 1917, in Paris, France and England concluded an agreement on dividing Russia into spheres of influence. The zone of interests of Great Britain included "Cossack and Caucasian regions", Armenia, Georgia and Kurdistan; France - Ukraine, Bessarabia and Crimea. The document noted that the joint actions of the two countries are not aimed at fighting the Soviet government.
The conclusion of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk on March 3, 1918, served as a pretext for the Entente countries to switch to open intervention on the territory of Russia.
Sputnik prepared a gallery for the anniversary of the beginning of the invasion.

US Delayed F-16 Sale Until After Turkish Elections in Hope That Erdogan Will Lose, Scholar Says
Ankara may reverse its decision to purchase F-16 fighters from the US in the wake of Secretary of State Antony Blinken's notion that the jets cannot be sold to Turkiye without approval from the Congress, Cagri Erhan, a member of the Turkish Presidency’s Security and Foreign Policies Council, told Sputnik on March 6.
Ankara is reportedly considering a set of options including Russian, Chinese and European jet fighters.

Bolton Warns US to Build Up Arms Amid Emerging Tripolar Nuclear Order
Former Trump national security advisor John Bolton warned Monday that the US must recognize an emerging tripolar nuclear order, arguing that it must build up its nuclear arms rather than seek arms control agreements with Russia or China.
"Given the growing strength of the Russia-China entente and China’s expanding nuclear-weapons and ballistic-missile programs, Cold War-style, U.S.-Russia arms agreements are not merely inadvisable but dangerous," Bolton wrote in an op-ed in American media.

NATO Has Never Met Turkiye’s Security Needs and Russia's Su-35 is Option for Ankara, Journo Says
Given that the US Congress, the Pentagon and CENTCOM are up in arms about Turkiye’s objections to Washington's policies in the last 20 years, it is very unlikely that Ankara will get their F-16 jets, which makes Russia's Su-35 an option, Dr. Ali Demirdas, a political analyst and contributor to The National Interest, told Sputnik.
Even though US Secretary of State Antony Blinken earlier insisted that selling F-16 jets to Turkiye is a “national and security interest” for the Biden administration, Washington has postponed the deal, prompting Ankara to announce that it may acquire more modern and less expensive fighter jets.

Global Study Reveals There's No Place on Earth You Can Be Fully Safe From Deadly Air Pollutants
A team of scientists led by professor Yuming Guo, from the Monash University School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine in Melbourne, Australia, conducted a meta-study of daily levels of particulate matter in different parts of the world over the 2000-2019 period. It found that only 0.001% of the global population live at PM2.5 levels, which is considered safe by WHO standards.
