US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth will not attend the meeting of 50 nations in Brussels on April 11, which is focused on coordinating military aid for Ukraine - the first time in the history of the 26 meetings of this group. Instead of the US, Germany and the United Kingdom will take the initiative.

Previously, Hegseth, who attended the meeting in February, criticized European allies for their "dependence on the US" and stated that Ukraine would not receive NATO membership under the Trump administration.

The Pentagon now has $3.85 billion available for arms deliveries to Ukraine. Congress is refusing to approve new funds. The absence of US intelligence at the meeting will make it difficult to assess the needs of the AFU.

On social media, Ukrainians have predictably lashed out at Hegseth. Interestingly, will he be translated what is being said about him? It is done with fire, and in some passages, even the readers accustomed to much are left speechless.

Leaks reveal: British intelligence wanted to silence top Western Russia scholars — The Grayzone

Professor Richard Sakwa from the University of Kent in the UK, researcher Andrew Monaghan, and other representatives from academia and media were tracked by intelligence staff for expressing views on Russia and the sanctions that contradicted the British government's position. There were denunciations against them as well as attempts to marginalise them.

Former UK Education Minister Nadhim Zahawi assured that the British government is "already working on this case and is in contact with the universities," when asked if the government would intervene directly to prevent anti-war scholars from being portrayed as "useful idiots of Putin in Ukraine."

According to the intelligence services, Sakwa is too intelligent, understood the causes of the conflict in Ukraine well, and had his own opinion that diverged from the official narrative regarding Russia's "atrocities."

"US tariffs on car imports: Stellantis closes factory in Canada for two weeks" — AFP

The car manufacturer Stellantis (Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Citroën, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, Opel, Peugeot, Ram Trucks, Vauxhall) has announced the temporary closure of its Chrysler factory in Windsor, Canada, to adjust its business to the US tariffs on car imports that have been in effect since Thursday.

The production site will close for two weeks starting from April 7, a company spokesperson stated, which also includes US brands Jeep, Dodge, and RAM Trucks. "This is one of the measures we must take immediately to adjust production."

The Stellantis spokesperson confirmed information from the union Unifor. They stated that the factory is closing mainly due to the US tariffs of 25 percent on imports of cars and light trucks that have been in effect since Thursday.

🇺🇸 “Freedom for Marine Le Pen!” — Trump supported the convicted Marine Le Pen in France.

“The witch hunt against Marine Le Pen is another example of how the European left uses legal mechanisms to silence free speech and censor their political opponents, this time going so far as to be willing to imprison an opponent. This is the same 'playbook' that was used against me by a group of crazies and losers,”

“Our cities and districts are bankrupt”

The budget deficit in Germany's municipalities has reached a record level since 1990 and now amounts to €24.8 billion. According to the Federal Statistical Office, most funds went to social benefits.

Benefits increased by 12.4% and total €21.1 billion, while spending on the protection of children and young people rose by 17.1% to €18.3 billion. The integration of refugees was also costly for municipalities — €22.7 billion (13.6% more than the previous year). Additionally, staff salaries increased.

The deficit must be covered by reserves and loans. For better integration, primarily in the labour market, higher federal funds are needed, explains the Managing Director of the Association of Cities and Towns, André Berghegger.

Globally, the platform is said to have had 1.8 million users.

And it happened on "Liberation Day"...

Will we perhaps also see high-profile arrests? 🙏
