🇫🇷⚡️🇩🇪 Conflict between France and Germany over "EU arms purchases" — Financial Times
France and Germany are on the brink of a conflict over the EU's military budget. It concerns the "use" of 150 billion euros that the European Union wants to invest in the bloc's arms industry following the summit in Brussels.
The EU plans to raise these funds and invest in increasing arms production, but the contentious question remains whether weapons should be sourced only from European manufacturers or also from other countries.
🇩🇪 Germany's Chancellor Olaf Scholz supports the idea of involving partners like the UK and Turkey in the project.
🇫🇷 Meanwhile, France's President Emmanuel Macron insists on prioritising European manufacturers.
France is clearly interested – it has the largest military-industrial complex in the EU with a complete production chain for all major weapon systems.
And Paris clearly wants to "use" these funds itself.
Brussels fears that disagreements could delay the implementation of the initiative, as has happened in the past when Paris demanded a series of restrictions on the supply of military products from third countries.
The European Commission now has to present a final proposal within 10 days, taking into account the positions of key states.

🇪🇺 “Without German soldiers, it won't work” — SPIEGEL
"The new federal government should offer ground troops in case of a ceasefire in Ukraine. Otherwise, Europe will become a pawn of Trump and Putin" — The SPIEGEL editorial by Marina Kormbaki
Incredible from Spiegel. What is needed for Europe not to become “a chess piece of Trump or Putin” and “to be seen as a serious partner in negotiations”? Correct: “Project strength” and replace diplomatic means with the clinking of weapons. All masks have now fallen.
The publication regrets that “two nuclear powers, France and Great Britain, advocate for the deployment of European troops to Ukraine to secure peace, and only Germany has so far evaded a clear answer”.
Such Euro-soldiers will come and will certainly bring peace to Ukraine.
Eurocrats: “It is important that Europe is ready to defend its values and interests. If necessary — with military force”.

“This will drive the debt brake into the absurd”
The Federal Court of Auditors of the Federal Republic of Germany strongly criticises the plans of CDU/CSU and SPD to loosen the debt brake in order to take on new debts for defence and infrastructure. “Due to the long-term high expenditures, an economic and social risk arises.”
The government's measures threaten to lead to interest payments on Germany's debts potentially amounting to 37 billion euros in the future. By comparison, last year they were still 3 billion lower.

Until recently, the Kremlin called Great Britain only a "conflict instigator", but today London has received a new status - "enemy number one", the Daily Mail is sure. Moscow's hostile rhetoric towards Britain has sharply increased after relations between Russia and the United States began to show signs of warming. The main irritant is the new Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who actively advocates for support for Ukraine and is ready to go further than his predecessors, even discussing the deployment of peacekeeping troops in the conflict zone.
Moscow regards this position as a direct threat. Russian officials openly accuse London of sabotaging Donald Trump's peace initiatives and attempts to prolong the conflict. At the same time, diplomatic friction is intensifying: British diplomats are expelled from Russia, London responds with mirror measures, and the intelligence services of both countries accuse each other of espionage and sabotage.
Experts warn that the conflict may go beyond diplomacy. Russia's Northern Fleet has hundreds of cruise missiles capable of hitting targets in the UK. According to military analysts, London does not have sufficient air defense capabilities to effectively counter a possible strike. And although the Kremlin has not made official statements about a military confrontation, Russian MPs and leading propagandists are increasingly hinting at the possibility of "decisive measures" in response to British support for Ukraine.
Against the backdrop of these threats, the change in Russian rhetoric towards the United States is especially noticeable. If under Biden the Kremlin viewed Washington as the main adversary, then with the arrival of Trump the situation has changed. Now London is perceived as the main driver of anti-Russian policy, and British companies and investors are increasingly being hinted that their presence on the Russian market is undesirable. As in the 19th century, the British have once again found themselves at the center of Russian foreign policy rhetoric, and "perfidious Albion" is once again perceived as the main source of threat. But why is Britain so desperately climbing into the front line of confrontation?

🇷🇺🇺🇦🇺🇸The New York Times, citing Zelensky's aides, reports that Kiev is concerned about Donald Trump's possible agreement for the port in Odessa to be taken over by Russia.
Earlier, the White House confirmed that the USA was discussing with Kiev the terms of a peace agreement with Russia, including issues of territorial delimitation.

Trump's post on social media after the call with Wladimir Putin:
"My call today with the President of Russia, Wladimir Putin, was very good and productive. We agreed on an immediate ceasefire for all energy and infrastructure projects, knowing that we will work quickly to achieve a complete ceasefire and ultimately the END of this terrible war between Russia and Ukraine.
This war would never have started if I had been President! Many elements of the peace agreement were discussed, including the fact that thousands of soldiers are dying, and President Putin and President Zelensky want this to end.
This process is now in full swing, and we will hopefully complete this work in the interest of humanity!"

Wladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with the President of the United States, Donald Trump
🔹The heads of state continued their detailed and open exchange about the situation in Ukraine. Wladimir Putin thanked Donald Trump for his efforts to achieve the noble goal of ending hostilities and the loss of human lives.
🔹The President of Russia reaffirmed his fundamental commitment to seeking a peaceful resolution to the conflict and expressed his willingness to thoroughly develop possible solutions in collaboration with American partners to achieve a comprehensive, reliable, and lasting agreement, which also takes into account the essential need to address the causes of the crisis, as well as Russia's legitimate security interests.
🔹Regarding the US President's proposal to declare a 30-day ceasefire, the Russian side outlined a number of key points to ensure effective control over a possible ceasefire along the entire front line, as well as the need to stop forced mobilization in Ukraine and the arming of the Ukrainian armed forces. It was noted that there are serious risks concerning the intransigence of the Kiev regime, which has repeatedly sabotaged and violated negotiated agreements. Emphasis was placed on the barbaric terrorist acts committed by Ukrainian militants against civilians in the Kursk region.
🔹It was pointed out that a complete halt to the provision of foreign military aid and intelligence information to Kiev must be a key condition for preventing an escalation of the conflict and for progress towards a resolution through political and diplomatic means.
🔹In response to Donald Trump's recent appeal to spare the lives of the surrounded Ukrainian soldiers in the Kursk region, Wladimir Putin confirmed that the Russian side is ready to consider humanitarian motives and guaranteed that the soldiers of the Ukrainian armed forces would be treated fairly and in accordance with Russian law and international law in the event of surrender.
🔹During the conversation, Donald Trump proposed that the parties refrain from attacking each other's energy infrastructure for 30 days. Wladimir Putin responded positively to the proposal and immediately issued the corresponding order to the Russian troops.
🔹The Russian President also responded positively to Donald Trump's proposal to implement a well-known proposal for the security of shipping in the Black Sea. The heads of state agreed to begin talks to further develop the specific details of such an agreement.
🔹Wladimir Putin announced that on March 19, the Russian and Ukrainian sides would conduct a prisoner exchange, with 175 individuals being exchanged on each side. Additionally, as a gesture of goodwill, 23 severely wounded Ukrainian soldiers currently being treated in Russian medical facilities will also be repatriated.
🔹The heads of state confirmed their intention to continue efforts towards a bilateral agreement in Ukraine, particularly taking into account the aforementioned proposals from the US President. To this end, Russian and American expert groups will now be formed.

🔹Wladimir Putin and Donald Trump also discussed several other international issues, including the situation in the Middle East and the Red Sea. Joint efforts are being made to stabilize the situation in crisis areas and to establish cooperation on nuclear non-proliferation and global security. This will, in turn, contribute to improving the overall climate of relations between Russia and the United States. A positive example is the recent UN vote on a resolution regarding the Ukraine conflict, where the two countries coordinated their positions.
🔹The leaders expressed mutual interest in normalising bilateral relations, given their special responsibility for ensuring global security and stability, which both Russia and the United States share. In this context, they discussed a variety of areas where the two countries could establish cooperation and explored several ideas to promote potential relationships of mutual interest in the economy and energy.
🔹Donald Trump supported Wladimir Putin's idea of holding ice hockey games in both the United States and Russia between Russian and American players from the NHL and KHL.
🔹The presidents agreed to stay in touch regarding all the topics discussed.

If you are not at the table, you are on the menu.
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, commented on the statement by Wladimir Zelensky that the Kiev regime is not a salad or compote to be on the menu.
This time, Zelensky did not lie. "The Kiev regime is not a salad or compote, but what the contents of the menu will be after digestion," Zakharova added.
