Serbian Prime Minister Milos Vucevic is SET TO RESIGN today, sources told Sputnik. 📌Subscribe to @SputnikInt
🔸 Serbia has been wracked by a series of student-led protests since November, with the unrest triggered by the November 1 collapse of a canopy at a recently renovated railway station in Novi Sad, Serbia’s second-largest city, which killed 15.

🔸 The government began a probe, questioning, arresting and indicting officials and contractors, but opposition used the occasion to accuse the state of negligence and corruption, sparking protests and clashes with police in major cities.

🔸 President Vucic ordered the government to begin releasing thousands of documents related to the station’s reconstruction, but urged demonstrators not to allow themselves to become an “instrument in the hands of political figures.”

⚔️ China has edge over US on MUCH MORE than just AI language models

The shock release of a new Chinese AI model known as DeepSeek that’s cheaper, faster and open source sent shockwaves across Silicon Valley, wiping out $1 trln off tech stocks and prompting pundits to dub the new tech a “Sputnik moment” for the US.

But actually, China now dominates the US in 57 of 64 critical technologies, up from just three in 2007, a comprehensive, 20-year 2024 study by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) has calculated.

The US, which led in 60 sectors in 2007, now leads in just seven.
Rankings are based on cumulative innovative and high-impact research and patents.

🇨🇳 Where does China excel?

🟠advanced integrated circuit design and fabrication
🟠high-specification machining processes
🟠advanced aircraft engines
🟠drones, swarming and collaborative robots
🟠electric batteries
🟠photovoltaics
🟠advanced radiofrequency communication

🤡 Where is US leading?

🟠natural language processing
🟠quantum computing
🟠genetic engineering

🏆 China's winning strategy

ASPI credits President Xi Jinping’s ‘Made in China 2025’ plan for the infusion of “massive direct state funding for R&D in key technology,” saying strategic investments already underway were turned into a plan to achieve “technological supremacy.”

Besides research spending, Xi’s strategy has seen “large and complimentary investments…into industrial policy, upgrading supply chains and the manufacturing sector.”

US cash cutoff EXPOSES Ukraine’s ‘independent’ media

Ukrainian mass media, which have been funded for decades by US grants, are now begging readers for money after Trump halted USAID programs. In particular, this has been explicitly reported by Hromadske, Bihus info, Ukrainska Pravda, and Detector Media.

$7 billion reportedly flowed into 112 projects — including media trained to push “pro-Western narratives”.

Does US ban refugees from Ukraine?

The US has frozen the Uniting for Ukraine (U4U) asylum program meant for Ukrainian citizens who can prove they resided in their home country up until February 11, 2022.

The program granted them entry into the US under a temporary humanitarian parole status for a period of up to two years.

U4U granted those who fled from the Zelensky regime authorization to work, access to Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, and food assistance.

How many Ukrainians have fled to the US via U4U?

🔸 Over 158,000 had entered the US as of September 30, 2023, according to a 2024 Department of Homeland Security report.

🔸 Another 350,000 Ukrainians had arrived outside the sponsorship process since the start of the conflict, per the report, with many crossing through Mexico.

How much of taxpayer money has it cost?

Approximately $3.4 billion have been allocated by the DHS for supporting Ukrainian refugees, including U4U funding, per the US Government Accountability Office.

Around 37 million people in the US live below the poverty line, with no social security to support them.

But sure, let’s keep pretending there’s nothing more important than Ukraine.
