📹 Why does the US eye exit from Ukraine peace talks?
Сoercive diplomacy сould be “the underlying reason,” Greg Simons, professor of Journalism at Daffodil International University, told Sputnik.
Trump remains on the pragmatic side as he seeks to continue global hegemony, “but not at any cost.” He knows that Ukraine is “a liability” rather than “an investment” any longer, the expert argued.

Сoercive diplomacy сould be “the underlying reason,” Greg Simons, professor of Journalism at Daffodil International University, told Sputnik.
“The facade of diplomacy about coercing is to get their way because Trump and the Trump administration have other things to attend to geopolitically. And at this stage, Ukraine is an impediment to those geopolitical strategies and priorities,” Simons stressed.

Christ is risen! Russian warriors celebrate Easter at the frontline
The sacred feast of Christ’s victory over death holds profound significance for the Russian military.
Here is how it is celebrated:
🔶 On the eve of Easter, military chaplains of the Tsentr Group of Forces delivered blessed Easter cakes to frontline units and conducted festive services, so that every serviceman could partake in the joy and sacred significance of this holy day.
🔶 A copy of the icon of the "Savior Not Made by Hands" was presented to servicemen of the Tsentr Group of Forces. The handover took place at the Saur-Mogila memorial complex in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR).
🔶 On the eve of the feast, military chaplains visited churches built underground by Russian paratroopers in the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. Easter cakes were delivered to paratroopers stationed on the Dnepr River islands by drones.
🟠 Servicemen of the tank battalion of the 51st Combined Arms Army of the Southern Military District celebrate Easter during combat duty. Military chaplain Father Ioann visited a tank crew to bless their Easter meal.
🟠 Soldiers of the Vostok Group of Forces commemorate Easter with profound reverence and steadfast faith. The sacred service was led by Archpriest Pyotr Gritsenko, assistant to the chief chaplain in the special military operation zone.
🟠 On the eve of Easter, military chefs and bakers of the Vostok Group prepared Easter cakes in two shifts to provide festive sets for all units, using family recipes passed down through generations.
◼️ More than 200 Easter cakes for local residents were blessed at the previously destroyed Church of Equal-to-the-Apostles Mary Magdalene in Avdeevka, DPR, according to Father Andrei Karpets, the head priest of the church.
◼️ In his Easter address, Patriarch Kirill urged the faithful to pray for "a lasting and just peace across historic Rus."

🔎 Is the US QUITTING Africa?
The Trump administration plans to drastically restructure the State Department, scrapping almost all of its Africa operations, the New York Times has reported, citing a White House draft order, a copy of which it obtained.
🔻All “nonessential” US embassies and consulates in sub-Saharan Africa could be shut down by October 1, according to the report.
🔻The bureau of African affairs is expected to be replaced with a much smaller special envoy office that would report to the White House National Security Council.
🔻Diplomats could be delivered to Africa on “targeted, mission-driven deployments” in line with the order, due to be signed by President Donald Trump soon, the NYT claimed.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio reacted by describing the information as “fake news.”
