🇫🇷 French President Emmanuel Macron's claims about an allegedly impending Russian attack on Europe are designed to drag the French into a world war, the leader of the French Les Patriotes party, Florian Philippot, has written on the social network X.

At the opening of an international conference to support Ukraine, Macron said Russia "may attack" European countries.

"So what? Are we fighting a war? World War III!!! Obviously, that's (Macron's) goal," Philippot wrote.

The politician expressed confidence that France should reject further support for Ukraine and leave NATO.

US Army getting to know Russia's 'military tactics'?

The US military has released a large set of data on the Russian Armed Forces and their military strategy ennoscriptd ‘Russian Tactics’.

The Army Techniques Publication (ATP) is a 280-page-long document that professes to address the Russian military doctrine "with a focus on army ground forces and tactical operations in offense, defense, and related mission sets." It claims to address “the tactics, organization, and activities of the Russian military." Russian tactics are to be used “in Army training, professional education, and leader development."

The ATP omitted any focus on Moscow’s military operation in Ukraine, saying the conflict is still being studied, and the US Army is “continuing to revise our assessments.”

The publication comes as a few days earlier US Army Maj. Gen. Curtis Taylor was cited by The Washington Post as praising the work and tactics of the artillery of the Russian Armed Forces in the course of the military operation in Ukraine.

“Russian artillery has rendered maneuver difficult and command posts unsurvivable,” stressed Taylor.

⚡️ Ukrainian intelligence services intended to carry out a terrorist attack in the Zaporozhye region using an analogue of the chemical warfare agent BZ, the Russian Federal Security Service said.

The plot was foiled and three Ukrainian citizens were apprehended. The toxic substances seized from them are used to create chemical weapons and were developed in the US, the service stressed.

BZ is a toxic psychochemical warfare agent that causes acute psychosis, disorientation, and hallucinations.

❗️ The toxic substance, an analogue of the chemical warfare agent BZ, was discovered in late January in a cache in Melitopol in the Zaporozhye region, Igor Kirillov, chief of the Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Protection Troops, previously said.

❗️ The Russian Federal Security Service has released a video showcasing the apprehension of suspects involved in a now-foiled terrorist plot targeting the Zaporozhye region
