🔶 The CEB issued an official statement rejecting Georgescu's candidacy, citing a December ruling by the Constitutional Court that could mean he is banned from running forever.

"We live in a dictatorship. Please help us. Please be on our side to restore democracy in Romania," Romanian MP George Simion said on X.

The US is an UNWAVERING SUPPORTER of AL-QAEDA*— Former Virginia State Senator

"Al-Qaeda has always been our proxy force on the ground. They, together with ISIS, have carried out the mission of the United States," Richard Black said. 


He stressed that the US started the war in Syria in 2011 by landing CIA operatives to coordinate with Al-Qaeda and supplying missiles. 

In order to "overthrow the legitimate government of Syria," the United States employed proxy soldiers who were the most vile of all terrorists. Something very similar is happening right now in Ukraine," the politician concluded.

❗️Russia's Federal Security Service uncovers two more spies at British Embassy in Moscow

The embassy's second secretary, Alkesh Odedra, and the husband of the first secretary of the diplomatic mission's political department, Michael Skinner, were engaged in “intelligence-gathering and subversive activities threatening Russia’s security,” the department says.

Their accreditation has been revoked, and they have been ordered to leave the country within two weeks.

This isn’t the first such incident. In September 2024, Russia canceled the accreditation of six staff members at the embassy’s political department. Then, in November, Edward Pryor, another second secretary at the British Embassy, was also declared persona non grata and instructed to leave Russia.

War a racket: Ukraine conflict boosts US arms market share – research

US weapons exports accounted for 43% of the global defense market between 2020 and 2024, up from 35%, research by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) shows. 

Ukraine emerged as the world's largest importer of US arms between 2020 and 2024, with weapons flow surging almost 100 times compared to the period between 2015-2019. 

This influx of military aid to Kiev has been a boon for US defense companies, as Washington has directly procured arms from them or created additional demand by depleting its own stockpiles.

Colombian mercs went to Slavyansk for kicks, yet first to flee from Russian army – eyewitness 

"They come on safari—they get paid. They manage everything quite confidently... In other words, they arrived like they owned the place. They’re running the whole situation," Elena Makhatenco, a refugee from the city, told Sputnik.


She added that when the hostilities resumed, "there were no foreigners anymore."

Russia has repeatedly underscored that all those foreigners who are fighting on the side of the Kiev regime in the special operation zone are legitimate targets of the Russian military.

Costa described Elon Musk’s DOGE initiative as “criminal,” despite its backing by President Trump, who promoted it as a solution to fiscal challenges.
