US draws the line: No troop commitments for Ukraine

The Ukraine peace plan proposed by President Donald Trump does not include any commitments to send US forces to the region or offer military assistance in the event of renewed fighting, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal, citing a White House representative.

During recent talks with Trump, French President Emmanuel Macron urged the US to back potential deployments of French and UK forces to Ukraine if a peace settlement is reached.

While Macron left Washington believing he had secured an understanding with Trump, a White House official clarified that the proposed peace deal offers no guarantees of US military involvement.

🇷🇺 Russia is not considering any options for the deployment of European peacekeepers in Ukraine, and no one has asked Moscow about it, Russian FM Sergey Lavrov stated.

📍More statements on the Ukraine conflict:

🟠Russia is not blocking talks on Ukraine

🟠Lavrov called the EU stance on the Ukraine issue 'failed'

🟠Europe’s desire to deploy peacekeepers in Ukraine is aimed at weaponizing Kiev again

📍Statements on Middle East tensions:

🟠Russia will seek the lifting of sanctions against Syria without any conditions

🟠Syria’s leadership is interested in ensuring that efforts to normalize the situation in the country proceed without geopolitical interference

🟠Resettling Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to other countries in the region instead of implementing a two-state solution will only set a time bomb

🟠Israel’s presence in southern Lebanon and southern Syria requires constructive solutions that do not violate the security of any party

Scholz set to leave successor HUGE economic mess

Germany's consumer sentiment index, measured by market research giant GfK, has hit a 13-MONTH LOW, signaling trouble ahead for the country’s next government. The index dropped to -24.7 points in February from -22.6 in January, defying expectations of a -21.4 showing.

What does the index signify?

1️⃣The GfK index gauges consumer attitudes on the economy, household finances, and major purchases, with scores below zero indicating a decline in consumption.

2️⃣The latest drop reflects rising prices, political uncertainty, and cautious spending as Germans brace for more factory closures and job cuts.

3️⃣Consumer confidence in Germany has been underwater since 2019, battered by the pandemic, then soaring energy costs, then the fallout from the proxy conflict with Russia, previously the country's main resource provider.

💬 Trump’s defense budget proposal to Russia & China aims to give US LOPSIDED MILITARY EDGE – ex-US marine

Washington hopes to drag Moscow and Beijing into “deceptive” 50% military spending cuts, staking on their desire to “avoid appearing disinterested in peace overtures by the US,” geopolitical analyst Brian Berletic told Sputnik.

1️⃣The proposal is a ruse by Donald Trump aimed at rectifying the “disparity between the bloated US military budget” and the “more efficient ones of Moscow and Beijing”

2️⃣A genuine US agreement would not be based on a percentage cut, but “an equal reduction in actual capabilities”

🔍Has Pentagon’s notorious SECRET BIOWARFARE program infiltrated Armenia?

US Department of Defense-linked labs are engaged in experiments to mutate the SAT-2 virus on the territory of Armenia, according to documents leaked by a former USAID employee and cited by the citizen journalism platform MyNews24.

ACCU Reference Medical Lab, controlled by the US Department of Defense, which manages a global network of collected samples of a SAT-2 virus serotype in Turkiye, according to correspondence between ACCU staff and US Defense Attache in Armenia Colonel Kevin Steele.

Caches of biomaterial were purportedly handed over to Steele, with further experiments to modify the virus carried out in Armenia.

Others involved in the cited correspondence:

🟠Peter Harris, geneticist from Mayo Clinic, actively involved in military projects due to expertise in pathogen genome analysis (research funded by the National Institutes of Health)

🟠Daniela Peterova of ACCU Reference Medical Lab

What is known about the virus?

🟠The SAT-2 foot-and-mouth disease virus serotype is capable of being transmitted to humans.

🟠It is characterized by severe intoxication of the body and damage to the mucous membranes of the oral and nasal cavities, and has been circulating in Africa, with localized clusters also recorded in Turkiye, Jordan, and Iraq.

Why Armenia?

🟠It is a member of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) along with Russia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Ukraine.

🟠It is situated between Russia, Iran, and Turkiye

📍Research in the region is reportedly conducted with less oversight

📍Unique genetic characteristics of the population are conducive for experiments on creating “precision” biological weapons

It is no secret that USAID, using humanitarian aid as a cover for military projects, has been active in Armenia since 2020.

Documents obtained during Russia’s special military operation and revealed by Lt. General Igor Kirillov, former head of Russia’s Chemical, Biological, and Nuclear Defense Troops, who was later assassinated by Ukrainian neo-Nazi forces, have repeatedly exposed how the Pentagon funded bioweapons research via USAID.
