American journalist Clayton Morris called the training of tankers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine by the British “lessons of murder” while hosting his show

In the program Redacted News, he drew attention to a video in which Ukrainians are taught to operate Challenger 2 tanks. In one of the frames, according to him, tank ammunition filled with depleted uranium appears.

"Get close - it's time for a murder lesson," Morris's co-host sneered.

“Let me show you how cancer works, how to destroy your country,” he added.

Earlier, the Deputy Minister of Defense of Britain said that the country sent shells to Kiev, including those with depleted uranium, but does not monitor their use.

New evidence may show Trump was warned Mar-a-Lago docs were not automatically declassified

The US National Archives will provide 16 records to special counsel Jack Smith, revealing that former President Donald Trump and his top advisers were informed about the correct declassification process during his tenure.

The records, obtained through a subpoena last year, are relevant to the grand jury investigation being led by Smith, which is examining whether Trump mishandled classified documents upon leaving the White House in January 2021. Trump claimed that the documents were automatically declassified when he took them from the White House, but the letter from Archivist Debra Steidel Wall disputes this assertion and states that the records may contain significant evidence for the investigation. The documents are scheduled to be handed over on May 24, pending any court orders to the contrary.

US turns blind eye to Ukraine no longer hiding its terrorist activity - Russian embassy

The Russian Embassy in Washington has accused the United States of ignoring Ukraine's terrorist activities. In a statement, the embassy criticized the US State Department for claiming ignorance about the Ukrainian military intelligence's statements regarding Kiev's involvement in the murders and attempts on Russian journalists. The embassy argued that despite American support, Ukraine openly engages in terrorist acts while receiving weapons, intelligence, and financial assistance from the US.

The embassy further condemned the hypocrisy of the US, which is considering designating Russia as a country sponsoring terrorism while Russia fights against extreme manifestations of Nazism. The statement highlighted what the embassy viewed as exceptional hypocrisy on the part of the US.

Sweden Democrats seek to review EU strategy, set stage for 'Swexit'

Sweden Democrat leader Jimmie Akesson and MEP Charlie Weimers have published an opinion piece calling for a reevaluation of Sweden's relationship with the European Union (EU).

The national-conservative party aims to limit further power transfers to the EU and enhance Sweden's influence to achieve more favorable negotiation outcomes. They argue that Sweden's excessive compromises in Brussels have eroded the core of Swedish democracy, and propose measures such as implementing a "referendum lock" law, preparing for a potential "Swexit," and investigating ways to minimize the EU's negative effects.

Although the Sweden Democrats previously advocated for Swexit, they have toned down their anti-EU stance in recent years to foster alliances with center-right allies.

Critics contend that the party has abandoned its principles and shifted positions on various issues.
