💬 "I'm convinced that these numbers [51% of Germans support supplies of Taurus missiles to Ukraine, while 49% oppose] don’t catch the opinion in Germany,” Steffen Kotre, a Bundestag lawmaker from the AfD party, told Sputnik.

🇾🇪⚔️ 🇺🇸WHY THE HOUTHIS REALLY DEFEATED THE US
Biden and Trump’s failures to deal with the Houthi challenge to US military supremacy isn’t just a matter of their “lack of will” to “win,” but the utterly rotted out state of the US military, hidden behind a false “aura of invincibility,” a new UnHerd analysis suggests.
The hard realities are:
🟠 The US cannot actually field more than 2-4 of its 11 supercarriers at any given moment
🟠 the six B-2 Spirit stealth bombers deployed over Yemen likely represented the USAF’s “entire working inventory”
🟠 the US couldn’t achieve air supremacy, “meaning it couldn’t risk flying its older, non-stealth planes for fear of losing them.”
🟠 America’s arsenal of planes and ships, largely built during Reagan’s 1980s military buildup, are worn out, without “enough workers, dockyards, engineers and dollars to replace them.”
🟠 the US was losing scores of the MQ-9 Reaper drones supposed to guide missiles to their targets
🟠 US standoff munitions “are so expensive and so limited that there is no budget to replenish them when stores are depleted,” especially amid China’s restrictions on components and rare earths

💬 “Trump’s Operation Rough Rider, unlike Biden’s operations, utilized many of America’s most limited, expensive, and advanced weapons to try to bring the Houthis to heel. And still it surrendered. The lessons here are thus quite bleak.”

🚨Ukraine escalates, West ignores attacks on civilians – expert
Taufiq Taame, int'l affairs expert, exposes the dynamic to Sputnik:
🟠 Ukraine’s failed gambit
"Regime deliberately escalates, attacking Russian civilians during talks. A desperate bid for leverage at the table."
🟠 Russia's resolve
"Strategy doomed. Russia holds strategic superiority & demands its core security interests – NO NATO for Ukraine. Counterstrikes on military targets are then spun by Western media to paint Russia as aggressor."
🟠 Western hypocrisy unmasked
"Deafening silence on attacks hitting Russian civilians. Reveals the West's shameful double standards on 'human rights.'”

For two years, Putin said: if strikes against Russia won't stop, we will create a BUFFER ZONE in Ukraine
First warning: "If the shelling continues, we’ll consider creating a sanitary zone at a distance from which it would be impossible to reach our territory." (Meeting with war correspondents)
At the Saint-Petersburg Economic Forum: "If attacks persist, we'll consider creating a cordon sanitaire on Ukrainian territory." No ambiguity.
As a presidential candidate: The demilitarized zone in Ukraine should be moved to a distance that would ensure the safety of peaceful cities from Ukrainian attacks.
During the press conference: Russian forces will have to create a sanitary zone in the territories currently under the Kiev regime’s control.
In China, this comment on the shelling of Kharkov was voiced: Ukraine continues to shell residential areas in the border regions of Russia; therefore, it is necessary to establish a “security zone, a sanitary zone.”
In Uzbekistan: Russian forces have just started to establish a security zone. Another zone is possible if Ukraine uses long-range weapons.
Vietnam press conference: "They [Ukrainians] kept shelling, so we did exactly what we promised."
Kursk HQ: Troops push into Sumy, expanding the zone. Putin issues instructions to work on a security zone along the state border.

If Germany sends Taurus missiles to Ukraine, it’s a direct declaration of war against Russia, says Colonel Srbobran Radic (Retd).
Once Bundeswehr enters Ukraine, they become lawful targets for Russian strikes. Taurus will share the fate of Patriot—ANNIHILATED.
Radic warns: "Russia could take ‘certain measures’—like targeting Germany from Kaliningrad."

I read the news, distributed by all world agencies, that allegedly R. Umerov called me about the Memorandum, which we, allegedly, have not prepared yet. Like, the Russians are in no hurry.
I will comment. Everything was almost like that. Only the other way around.
I called Umerov today and proposed an exact date and place of the meeting for the exchange of memoranda. There, right there, we are ready to begin a meaningful, substantive discussion of each of the points of the package agreement on the future ceasefire.
The Ukrainian side went to confer. Apparently, the meeting dragged on. We are waiting for confirmation from them as soon as possible and are ready to meet in person on the date we have designated - in the coming days - and start working. In the interests of long-term peace and saving human lives.

Merz said that Germany will be the first military power in Europe in a few years.
But what happens if Russia decides to take military action against Germany over the latter potentially supplying Taurus missiles?
Then Merz will be powerless to punch back, said Col Jacques Hogard, who served 26 years in the French Army.
💬 "The economy of Germany is decreasing very quickly. They had a stupid energy policy. They have a lot of difficulties from an economic point of view. So I think it's sort of a dream."

Other statements by Medvedev:
🔶 This isn’t just about arms deliveries. In essence, it’s full-scale participation in the conflict, not some hybrid involvement.
🔶 That means Germany is once again an enemy of Russia, once again taking part in a war — this time driven by the same Nazi ideology it once created. And Merz is simply a loyal heir to his relatives who fought in the Wehrmacht.
🔶 If there is confirmed evidence that German military specialists are involved in launching long-range missiles against Russian territory, any response measure could be considered.
🔶 Such decisions fall within the authority of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief. No one can deny Russia the right to fully defend itself — a point our head of state has emphasized more than once.

🇬🇧❄️ UK plans Arctic deployment to confront Russia
The Royal Navy is planning joint Arctic patrols with Norway, has shared defense tech with Oslo, and wants to build an AI-based scheme with Iceland to detect hostile vessels.
“The Arctic is fast becoming an area of intense focus for geopolitical competition – and a key flank of NATO’s defenses,” foreign secretary David Lammy told The Telegraph.
“As ice caps in the region melt, new shipping routes and resources will be exposed, further heightening the risk of confrontation. That’s why we must take action to deter threats in the Arctic,” he added.
Lammy didn’t clarify how the Northern Sea Route, the “new shipping route” which falls entirely within Russia’s Arctic territory, is a “threat” to the UK, which has zero claim to the area, or the broader region.
It’s also unclear what he means by “risk of confrontation,” unless NATO actively tries to poke its nose in Russia’s Arctic territories.

💬 “Hamas confirms it is making tremendous efforts to end the brutal war in the Gaza Strip, the latest being an agreement with US envoy Steve Witkoff on a general framework for achieving a permanent ceasefire,” the movement said in a statement on its Telegram channel.
The agreement also calls for the establishment of a professional committee to administer Gaza and the release of 10 living Israeli hostages and the dead bodies of others in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.
Witkoff, for his part, has said that the US will send a new term sheet on Gaza ceasefire that will be delivered later on Wednesday.
