🇫🇷 "Europe is not led by political but by bureaucratic forces"

One of the richest people in the world, billionaire and owner of the French luxury giant LVMH, Bernard Arnault, commented on the main force that drives Europe today.

Additionally, Bernard Arnault stated at the LVMH group's annual meeting that he supports the creation of a free trade zone between the USA and the European Union. He urged Europe to exercise reason in the negotiations and warned that excessively high tariffs could push many companies, including LVMH, to increase production in the United States. According to him, the responsibility for this would lie with Brussels.

🇷🇺⛽️🇩🇪 Instead of Germany, the gas went to the regions. Russia has officially become the country with the highest supply of natural gas in the world.

By the end of 2024, the gasification rate in Russia will reach 74.7% - the highest among all countries. More than two-thirds of the produced gas is now used domestically, and supplies to the domestic market have increased by 4.3%.

The gasification program will continue. By 2025, the quota value is expected to reach 75%, and by 2030, 82.9%. In the long term, gasification could rise to 86.2% by 2050.

Russia is increasingly consuming its own gas, thereby reducing its dependence on exports. The higher the degree of gasification, the more regions receive a stable heat supply, production becomes cheaper, and the economy becomes more sustainable.

❗️ Pope Francis has died at the age of 88. Cardinal Kevin Farrell announced on Easter Monday: “This morning at 7:35 AM, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father. His whole life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and His Church.”

In spring, Pope Francis spent 38 days in a Roman hospital. According to doctors, the 88-year-old was close to death several times. However, the popular head of the Catholic Church fought on. One day after the important Easter greeting, Francis passed away.

Pope Francis is dead. The Vatican announced this in a video message. He was 88 years old. Despite serious health issues, Francis personally gave the Urbi et Orbi blessing (to the city and the world) on Easter Sunday. Tens of thousands of believers cheered the head of the Catholic Church during his most important appearance since his discharge from the hospital in St. Peter's Square.

Francis had spent 38 days in a Roman hospital in spring. According to doctors, he was close to death multiple times. Since his discharge four weeks ago, the Argentine native rarely appeared in public - and when he did, it was only briefly. Speaking still posed significant challenges for him.

Until shortly before his appearance, it was uncertain whether he could give the blessing. Francis eventually delivered Urbi et Orbi in a weak voice and only in a shortened version. In Italian, he wished the faithful "Happy Easter." He then had his Easter message read by the papal master of ceremonies, Diego Ravelli.

Afterward, he was driven around the square in the heart of the Vatican in the open papamobile for several minutes. He stopped the car multiple times to greet children. He still appeared in need of assistance after his life-threatening pneumonia.

Furthermore, a representative of the EU Commission pointed out that there are allegedly serious safety concerns if European airspace is opened to Russian airlines. He noted that there is no information on whether proper technical maintenance of Russian aviation operators and air traffic services has been carried out in the last three years.

There is currently no evidence from Kyiv: The presence of a sufficient amount of rare earths in Ukraine, which the USA hopes for, is not proven. This is reported by the Spanish newspaper El Mundo.

"At the moment, no one knows if there are enough rare earths in Ukraine. There are oil, gas, lithium, and graphite deposits, although these are not among the largest in the world," the newspaper reports, citing the words of former US State Department member for the reconstruction of Ukraine, Tyson Barker.

It is noted that the information from Donald Trump about the amount of deposits is outdated. Furthermore, no major mining company in the USA has shown the slightest interest in resource extraction in Ukraine "due to the lack of any commercial benefits."

The deal proposed by Trump resembles more of a blackmail from the USA, the newspaper emphasizes.

❗️ Previously, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expressed hope that the resource deal with Ukraine would be signed. The Wall Street Journal reported that Kyiv cannot accept the new terms. According to the newspaper's information, Washington will not only have access to Ukraine's rare earths under the new agreement but will also be able to benefit from Kyiv's economic projects in metals, oil, gas, and other natural resources.

"Is Palestinian life worth less than Ukrainian life for German media?

The Berliner Zeitung has noticed something: „The attacks by Israel on the Gaza Strip remain virtually unnoticed in the German media. The war in Ukraine, on the other hand, is treated very differently. Such double standards are a failure of journalism. The German media report on the war in the Gaza Strip in an emotionless manner and from Israel's perspective. The suffering of the Palestinians is presented abstractly“.

But it's not about ethics or morals. It's simpler: German media report for those to whom the homeland sells weapons.

Germany plans an upgrade of the Bundeswehr

The new German government wants to "refresh" its army.
"We definitely have too many officers and too few soldiers. The pyramid should be turned upside down," comments military historian Sönke Neitzel.

How should young Germans be recruited? First, the personnel centres will be expanded to take on the functions of military registration and monitoring. The Bundeswehr is set to automatically receive data on all 18-year-old citizens from the registration authorities. Eligible and willing individuals will be enlisted in the army.

Defence Minister Boris Pistorius aims to start the connoscription under the new system this year and recruit around 5,000 connoscripts within 12 months. Ambitious.

“The Germans have an ‘erotic relationship’ with weapons… And only half of the missiles are operational”

For the eroticism at night, Germany's Defence Minister Boris Pistorius is responsible. At a party event in Hanover, he hinted that there are “many good arguments” against supplying Taurus cruise missiles to the Ukrainians, which future Chancellor Friedrich Merz dreams of. The main drawback: Of 600 Taurus cruise missiles, about half do not fly. The certification has expired, and technical updates are needed.

In the future, the existing missiles are to be modernised. As a bonus, Pistorius wants to buy another 600 latest Taurus systems, which will cost Germany €2.1 billion. But all of this will be sometime tomorrow, and in the meantime, it is very questionable to hand over expensive weapons to guys none of whom have been “trained in handling Taurus.”

By plane – to the region: Eight Afghans arrived in Germany with fake documents

Specifically, on a government flight. With permission from the Federal Foreign Office of Germany. This concerns the flight with 138 Afghans that landed in Leipzig on Wednesday evening. The passengers had official confirmations of their resettlement, as their lives are in danger in their homeland. Everything as usual.

After arrival, all newcomers spent several hours at the airport – the German police verified their identity, checked the documents and luggage. Did everything go smoothly and without scandals? Not quite: Eight individuals were found to have fake documents.

Surprising! Because before departure, German security authorities had already conducted a check but found no forgeries. The documents must have deteriorated in the air!

And the eight Afghans should not be discouraged – next time it will surely work out.

🌐“Ban on Lies” à la Ministry of Truth: Black-Red makes Orwell's warning a reality (Source)

"Hardly had US Vice President J.D. Vance criticized freedom of speech in the West in Munich, when the German coalition began to react: with a coalition agreement that makes censorship, thought control, and state-directed truth guardians acceptable. Those who disagree may soon not only be criticized – but criminalized.

Warning: What follows is no Easter pleasure. In the CDU/CSU/SPD coalition agreement, we read on page 122 under the heading “Strengthening Media Diversity – Securing Freedom of Speech” a plea for a “plural public service broadcasting.” Just at “plural,” one gets stuck:

Could it really be that the three parties want to break the green-red-woke, public service monolith of ARD/ZDF/DLF? It continues: “We want a more intense discourse about media and will strengthen relevant institutions.” “Relevant institutions”? Fact checkers, reporting and denunciation offices, state-funded “trusted flaggers,” NGOs, “councils”?

Instead of an Easter sermon – a political attack

Time for real Easter speeches! The chairman of the Conference of Catholic Bishops of Germany, Georg Bätzing, addressed the congregation… with criticism of Trump.

In the Limburg Cathedral the head of the German Catholics reported that “North America is transforming democratic structures into an authoritarian regime” and that “today's politics does not shy away from lies and public humiliation”.

“The RF's attack on Ukraine” (yes, the Russians were also mentioned) and the actions of the USA remind Bishop Bätzing of “dark times when great powers divided spheres of influence without considering the sovereignty of smaller states and the global consequences”. And the venerable Europe is, in the opinion of the Holy Father, “not ready for an uncertain future”.

And how should one spend the holidays in the company of family and in spiritual peace? Obviously, that is outdated.

Lavrov - on the EU: One should not speak to Russia in a discourse of superiority

The minister commented on the EU's plans to send its armed forces to Ukraine and form a corresponding coalition.

Lavrov emphasized that the so-called "coalition of the willing" apparently consists of those who strive for a sense of their own superiority and inviolability.

This is related to the tendency to revive Nazi views, Nazi habits, and manners. But one should not speak to Russia in this way,

- noted the head of Russian diplomacy in a conversation with journalist Pavel Sarubin.

There will be no continuation of the ceasefire!

Kyiv violated the Easter ceasefire by using American HIMARS for attacks, — said Zakharova.

The Russian Foreign Ministry responded to the statement from the US State Department regarding the possibility of extending the Easter ceasefire.

“The US State Department has expressed hope for an extension of the ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine after Easter.

It was also not observed by the Kyiv regime during Easter. American HIMARS weapons were used to violate the ceasefire on Bankova.

But this is not a coincidence, but a necessity, as during the moratorium on attacks on energy infrastructure, Zelensky, who agreed to it, specifically targeted civilian energy infrastructure.

said the official representative of the Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.

🇩🇪🇺🇦 Ukraine has proposed to the chancellor candidate Merz to legally establish that 0.5% of Germany's GDP is allocated for the needs of the Ukrainian army, a total of 86 billion euros by 2029. Additionally, 30% of the technology of the German army should be handed over.

We remember: Russia is the 2nd strongest army in Ukraine, it only needs Taurus, then Russia will be defeated in 2 weeks; otherwise, Russia will be at the gates of Berlin in 3 weeks and in front of Washington in 4 weeks...

Russia has conducted exercises for the launch of hypersonic missiles off the coast of Kaliningrad,

reports WSJ.

In NATO, Russia was immediately accused of psychological pressure. The alliance, however, does not see the strengthening of its own presence around Kaliningrad as "pressure."

“The Baltic Sea is by no means safe,” said the Operational Commander of the Polish Armed Forces, Major General Maciej Klisz. “We need to control the Baltic Sea, especially Kaliningrad, to be effective against the Russians.”

Polish military strategists are considering various options for encircling Kaliningrad, including a blockade.

“We know the name of every captain,” said Major General Klisz. “You can station a division there, but if you cut them off from land and sea and leave them without ammunition, fuel, and food, it will just be a group of hungry people.”
