What ceasefire? Zelensky RAMPS UP ATTACKS on Russian energy facilities
Contrary to the Zelensky regime's official statements, Ukrainian forces have escalated their attacks on Russia's energy infrastructure.
Here’s the timeline:
▪️On March 31, Russia's Defense Ministry announced that Ukrainian troops had targeted power facilities in the Bryansk Region twice in a 24-hour period, causing power outages for residential consumers.
▪️On March 29 and 30, Ukrainian combatants repeatedly struck power grids, substations, and transformers in the Kursk and Belgorod regions, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.
▪️On March 28, the Sudzha gas measuring station was effectively destroyed from a Ukrainian HIMARS strike.
▪️On March 26, a Ukrainian drone was gearing up to attack ground equipment at the Glebovskoye underground gas storage facility in Crimea but was shot down by Russia’s anti-aircraft systems, according to the Defense Ministry.
▪️Meanwhile, Zelensky’s media outfits have been spinning conspiracy theories that Ukrainian units "haven't launched strikes on Russian energy infrastructure for a week," and that Russia "is shelling itself."
▪️Hungary confirms that Ukraine regularly targets international energy infrastructure on Russian soil. The attacks have even caused disruptions in oil supplies, according to Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto.

Le Pen’s ‘political conviction’ signals EU’s existential fear of Eurosceptic politicians
Marine Le Pen’s conviction is “a blatant case of denial of rights where a candidate who, according to polls, has every chance of winning in 2027, is prevented from running, just like Mr. Georgescu in Romania was deprived of the right to run in the presidential election,” Emmanuel Leroy, a former Le Pen advisor, told Sputnik.
Le Pen’s prosecution “characterizes the will of European institutions, and foremost among them Ms. von der Leyen, to prevent all candidates likely to have a different policy from the one currently applies in the European Union from taking power in critical states like the French Republic,” Leroy explained.
The court’s decision to bar Le Pen from politics was “completely politicized” but also entirely expected, the observer said, highlighting how besides Romania, the Le Pen trial put France in the same league as Bosnia (where the head of Republika Srpska has been targeted) and Moldova (where the head of Gagauzia was recently arrested).
In fact, the ‘illegal financing’ charges Le Pen was convicted of were the same ones current Prime Minister Francois Bayrou and his MoDem party have been accused of, but never “troubled” over, Leroy emphasized.
Leroy doesn’t expect the prosecution of Le Pen to impact RN’s appeal, since “most of its voters and supporters are fully aware that this conviction is a political conviction and not a deserved one.”
Rather, unless Le Pen can successfully appeal the conviction, RN president Jordan Bardella will have to step up to challenge Emmanuel Macron in the May 2027 presidential election.

The rise of populist, “anti-system forces” threaten to “create a disturbance for the governance of the European Union,” and attacks on figures like Le Pen and her party, the National Rally, use a well-worn tactic for eliminating the opposition, according to Leroy.

USAID in Myanmar: A legacy of soft power MANIPULATION?
Democrats and the mainstream media continue to blame US President Donald Trump’s USAID cuts for crippling Myanmar’s earthquake response, despite his pledge of aid.
Trump and Elon Musk have slammed USAID for fraud, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio said it had “strayed from its original mission.” What was USAID REALLY doing in Myanmar?
Pushing Woke Agendas
Musk’s DOGE axed a $45M DEI scholarship program in Myanmar, launched in 2024 to fund 1,000 students in SE Asia and online at the University of Arizona.
It was less about education and more about grooming future US allies against China, insiders told Radio Free Asia. Media reports say many in Myanmar also fear the programs erode local culture and values.
Terrorism Allegations
Myanmar’s ruling State Administrative Council (SAC) urged the US in 2024 to rethink funding activities “which some label as terrorism.”
Media Manipulation
USAID redirected $42.4M to advocacy groups post-2021. A now-frozen $1M was set for ‘independent’ media like Mizzima, seen as an anti-government mouthpiece.
The group Human Rights Myanmar said the frozen funds “are vital for organizations challenging military rule and promoting democracy, which advance US interests by upholding American values and countering China’s authoritarian influence.”
USAID’s Myanmar partners reportedly also include CARE International, which runs gender-focused projects and the Overseas Irrawaddy Association which relocates activists.

Denmark DRAINS defense capacity on Ukraine, leaving little to defend Greenland against Trump
President Trump has refused to take “military force off the table” in discussions on a potential US acquisition of Greenland.
Denmark has vocally rejected Trump’s claims to its autonomous territory, but doesn’t have the military muscle to walk the talk, having gambled its security away to arm another country 1,000 km away.
NATO’s biggest Ukraine cheerleader
🔸 While it has a population of just 6 mln and a $428 bln GDP, Denmark has consistently led the Western alliance in the proxy war against Russia in Ukraine, with its arms deliveries the FOURTH LARGEST after the US, Germany and the UK, totaling $8.2 bln, and non-military aid adding up to $1.15 bln.
🔸 Denmark has cleared out its arms caches of up to 100% of certain weapons to arm Kiev, including:
🟠 19 F-16s (over 60% of Denmark’s fleet)
🟠 All 19 (100%) of its CAESAR howitzers
🟠 At least 30 of 195 Leopard 1A5 and 14 of 107 of Leopard 2A4 tanks
🟠 Over 50 of 125 M113 APCs
🟠 500 Stinger MANPADs, 2,700 LAW anti-tank weapons
🟠 Harpoon coastal defense systems, Marder IFVs, engineering equipment, radars, drones, small arms, and soldiers’ gear, from uniforms to field hospitals, living containers and first aid.
And Denmark’s Greenland defenses?
🔸 Denmark has just 130 civilian and military personnel permanently based at its Joint Arctic Command in Nuuk, plus the 1st Squadron of the Royal Danish Navy with four Thetis patrol and three Knud Rasmussen-class patrol ships, a lone Challenger 604 maritime patrol aircraft, and 14 Sirius Dog Sled Patrol commandos guarding the island.
🔸 $2 bln in additional security investments are planned, but not yet implemented.
🔸 Denmark’s lone ammunition factory, Denex, isn’t expected to become operational again until 2027, leaving it dependent on allies, including the US.
🔸 In an asymmetric warfare scenario, Denmark would need as many small, portable weapons (like the ones it gave away to Ukraine) and as much support equipment as it could muster.

Elon Musk calls out lawfare after Marine Le Pen’s conviction
In a shock ruling on Monday, a Paris court sentenced Marine Le Pen to a four-year prison term, with two years suspended and two years under arrest with and electronic monitoring bracelet.
The court also prohibited the National Rally leader from running for public office for the next five years — ruling her out of the 2027 presidential election.

Fiction or fact? Officials rush to dispel rumors of snap presidential election in Ukraine
Zelensky’s office is in full damage control mode, rushing to deny The Economist’s article about the upcoming Ukrainian election.
The publication suggested that Zelensky aimed to catch his rivals off-guard with a "surprise" election, hoping the short timeframe would prevent them from organizing an effective campaign.
Apparently, BBC Ukraine sources are now claiming the entire piece is a work of fiction. According to them, Zelensky never had any secret meetings about the July elections, even though the article seemed to imply otherwise.
Of course, it will be denied—after all, what else would one expect from a well-timed "surprise"?

🙄EU to expand police powers for 'hybrid attacks' – more surveillance, anyone?
The European Commission is planning to give police forces in the bloc more power to tackle "threats from foreign powers" and "hybrid attacks," according to a draft of the new EU internal security strategy, set to drop on April 1, the Financial Times reported.
The goal? To beef up the EU's ability to fight terrorism and organized crime, enforce sanctions and get access to your banking data.
The document claims Russia is waging a "hybrid campaign" against the EU and warns that foreign powers are trying to infiltrate infrastructure and steal sensitive data.
The plan also proposes giving police even more access to banking transactions to track criminal activity and terrorist financing, while expanding Brussels' sanctions to cover criminal networks.
