EU naval mission has very few warships left to defend against Houthi attacks - media
Three months after the launch of its Operation Aspides, the EU has faced a shortage of warships to protect merchant vessels in the Red Sea. After the withdrawal of the German frigate Hessen, there are only three warships left, making it impossible to continue the mission, Vasileios Gryparis, commander of the EU naval mission, said, as quoted by Der Spiegel.
It is also unlikely that the commander will receive additional ships soon. The Hessen is expected to be replaced with the frigate Hamburg, however, the warship will not arrive in the Red Sea until August, he added.
Last November, the Houthis vowed to attack any ships associated with Israel until it halts military actions in the besieged Gaza Strip. In this regard, on February 19, the EU launched Operation Aspides to secure navigation in the Red Sea amid ongoing attacks on civilian vessels. EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said the bloc's mission would not participate in actions against the Houthis, but would only ensure the safety of navigation.

Last resort? NATO secretly sets two ‘red lines’ to directly meddle in Ukraine conflict – report
NATO – “in a very confidential manner and without official communique - has established at least two red lines, beyond which there could be the alliance’s direct intervention in the conflict in Ukraine,” Italy’s La Repubblica newspaper reported on Sunday.
NATO reportedly views this measure as the bloc's "last resort" due to concerns over the potential collapse of Ukraine in light of Russia's ongoing and successful offensive in multiple front-line areas.
▪️The first red line purportedly pertains to alleged “direct or indirect interference of a third country” – such as Belarus - in the Ukraine conflict, a scenario that also stipulates the Russian army breaking through the Ukrainian military’s defensive lines near the Ukraine-Belarus border.
▪️The second red line is supposedly related to a possible “military provocation” against Poland or the Baltic countries, as well as military actions against Moldova.
In the event that these two red lines are crossed, NATO will ostensibly be ready to use about 100,000 troops stationed in Hungary, Poland, the Baltic states, Romania and Slovakia. On the other hand, NATO currently “does not have any operational plans” for sending a military contingent to Ukraine as the US-led bloc is dealing with “assessments of its possible actions in emergency situations,” according to the La Repubblica.
Russia has repeatedly stressed that NATO is already directly involved in the Ukraine conflict, given the bloc’s ongoing training of and arms supplies to the Ukrainian military – something that Moscow warns will only lead to prolonging the standoff.

Boots on the ground? French Foreign Legion dispatched to Ukraine, ex-DoD official claims
Bryen went on to write that the forces have been deployed “in support of the Ukrainian 54th Independent Mechanized Brigade in the city of Slavyansk."
The French soldiers were reportedly drawn from the 3rd Infantry Regiment, one of the main components of France’s Foreign Legion. French authorities have not commented on the matter yet.
According to him, about 1,500 French Foreign Legion soldiers are scheduled to arrive in Ukraine in the foreseeable future. The ex-US deputy undersecretary of defense wondered in this regard “whether this crosses the Russian red line on NATO involvement in Ukraine” and if “the Russians will see this as initiating a wider war beyond Ukraine’s borders?”
Earlier this week, French President Emmanuel Macron once again did not rule out the possibility of NATO sending European troops to Ukraine. Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov denounced Macron’s statement as “very dangerous”, with the statement also slammed by groups in France, Hungary Italy, the UK and Slovakia.

“France has sent its first troops officially to Ukraine,” former US deputy undersecretary of defense for policy, Stephen Bryen, has claimed in an article published by the Asia Times.
Bryen went on to write that the forces have been deployed “in support of the Ukrainian 54th Independent Mechanized Brigade in the city of Slavyansk."
The French soldiers were reportedly drawn from the 3rd Infantry Regiment, one of the main components of France’s Foreign Legion. French authorities have not commented on the matter yet.
“These troops are being posted directly in a hot combat area and are intended to help the Ukrainians resist Russian advances in Donbass. The first 100 are artillery and surveillance specialists,” Bryen argued.

Ukraine risks losing key Donbass city ‘before summer’
Having successfully repelled the massive Ukrainian counteroffensive last year, Russian forces have been hammering Kiev regime forces across the front line.
With the Ukrainian military suffering one defeat after another, things are looking pretty bleak for the Kiev regime.
As Russian troops continue to make gains after punching through the Ukrainian defenses at Avdeyevka, Kiev may soon lose its hold on a number of key cities, Newsweek claims.
According to the media outlet, the city of Chasov Yar in the Donetsk People’s Republic, currently under Kiev’s control, may fall to Russian forces “before summer.”
Chasov Yar has served as a “vital staging point for Ukrainian forces and sits on a hill with commanding views over the surrounding area,” the media outlet notes, adding that it also serves as a “gateway” to Kramatorsk and Slavyansk, two prominent cities that Russia needs to secure in order to finally drive the Kiev forces from Donbass.

Britain's ruling Conservative Party has lost almost 500 local council seats and a number of regional mayorships.
The results of these elections are important ahead of the British parliamentary election scheduled for later this year, despite the prime minister still refusing to set a date.
The opposition Labour Party believes that PM Rishi Sunak is afraid to call a general election and is rather “clinging to power.”
