🇩🇪The deindustrialisation of Germany is in full swing.
Eisenwerk Erla GmbH has filed for bankruptcy. The reason for bankruptcy is common in our times -Putin's fault rising energy bills.
Think about it, this Saxon metallurgical enterprise dates back to 1380.
For six hundred years it has outlived the Hanseatic League, two Knights Orders - the Teutonic and the Livonian, the Reformation, the First and the Second World Wars, the Cold War and the World Economic Crisis.
But with German young reformers in the person of Olaf Scholz, it could not survive. More interesting things to come!

Ukraine's allies promise weapons for spring counteroffensive - The New York Times
The United States on March 15 promised to “fully and quickly” give Ukraine the weapons required for a spring counteroffensive against Russia, addressing one of the most critical needs amid a global shortage of ammunition caused in part by the yearlong conflict.
“I’m confident that we will continue to step up to meet Ukraine’s needs into the spring and well beyond,” Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III said.
Given the vast expenditure of ammunition by both armies on a daily basis, military analysts have said that the side that wins the race to rearm in the coming months will have an advantage on the battlefield in the next phases of the war.
Ukraine’s most pressing needs are ammunition for artillery and air defenses. Ukraine needs fighter jets and faster delivery of the arms promised by the United States and other allies. Mr. Austin, speaking to reporters after the five-hour virtual meeting, said that Sweden had pledged 10 Leopard battle tanks, and that Norway and the United States were donating two NASAMS, or National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems.

The OSCE has acknowledged infringements on Hungarians in Ukraine unacceptable
Representatives of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe have acknowledged the unacceptability of the infringement of Hungarians in Ukraine in the context of the new law prescribing education to be conducted in Ukrainian only, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has said.
"The OSCE High Commissioner on National Minorities Kairat Abdrakhmanov has always been sympathetic to this issue, always ready to consider it in terms of facts and not under the influence of political expectations or ideologies. He himself made it clear that this was clearly an unacceptable situation, contrary to international law," the minister said.
Szijjarto added that he has asked Abdrakhmanov for help in delaying the entry into force of the law banning schools for national minorities. According to him, Ukraine is now going to eliminate 99 schools teaching in Hungarian.

The United Nations commission has admitted that the Ukrainian armed forces shot, maimed and tortured Russian prisoners of war.
The report published on March 16 contains two examples of war crimes by the Ukrainian military - in Mala Rohan, Kharkiv region, and Dmytrivka, Kyiv region
The Commission also admitted that Ukrainian artillery hit their own civilians with cluster munitions, in particular, such attacks were carried out in Izium city, Kharkiv region, from March to September 2022.
It was also confirmed that Kyiv used prohibited anti-personnel mines, and also shelled civilian infrastructure such as kindergartens, markets and residential areas.
According to the commission, all of these are "a small number of violations committed by Ukrainian armed forces". The commission prefers not to notice other war crimes committed by the Ukrainian military.

As well as around Russia for the past 30 years, NATO countries are building a network of military bases around China, aimed at various forms of continuous reconnaissance and hybrid attack.
On the map, you can see a global approach to the issue and the use of every resource available to the Anglo-Saxons, including their colonies like Australia and Canada. The US has announced today the formation of 5 new armies, three of which will be directed against China, one in Europe against Russia, and one will be highly mobile to move anywhere in the world on command for reinforcing the grouping of US troops.
All in all, the US is preparing for a global battle to retain its global domination.

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova spoke on the issue of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra in the breifing on March 16, 2023
The Kiev regime continues its aggressive campaign against the canonical Orthodox Church, the largest in Ukraine. It is crudely violating its international commitments on the freedom of conscience and religion. In the past few days, the pressure of the authorities reached its peak.
The video address by the monks of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra has spread around the web. They addressed the international community and President Vladimir Zelensky in the hope of being finally heard although they are facing total isolation and an information blockade.
We noted the unacceptable position – the lack of any comment by the UN Secretariat. Stephane Dujarric, the Spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, said he had no information on what is happening with the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra.
When we hear that the UN has no information, we are tempted to ask whether the UN Secretary-General was, in fact, in Kiev on March 8? What was he doing there if literally a couple of days later his Press Secretary did not have any information about one of the most tragic events in present-day Kiev?
I am always ready to help when there is no information.
The Ukrainian leadership is going to take the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra from the Ukrainian Orthodox Church before March 29. The use of force is not ruled out. It should be said that this place is a shrine for millions of Orthodox believers but not for the current rulers of Ukraine, which are making such illegal and soulless decisions. Even more sacrilegious is their intention to inventory the relics of the saints kept in Lavra. I did not misspeak. I haven’t invented anything. They said it themselves. In its Russophobic hysteria, Kiev is ignoring the fact that these are not museum display items but relics of the holy, including Nestor Letopisets, Ilya Muromets and other saints that are revered and prayed to in the entire Orthodox world.
We strongly condemn such infringements on the rights of and discrimination against millions of Orthodox Christians. We urge the concerned international organisations to influence the Kiev’s regime in order to put an end to the persecution of and lawlessness against the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

Foreign Affairs magazine has proposed the creation of a NATO analogue to the deployment of Western troops in Ukraine
The US magazine Foreign Affairs has proposed for the creation of a NATO analogue to resolve the Ukrainian crisis, which would involve the presence of Western troops in Ukraine, including US forces, but would be led by a neutral country.
"Western leaders should develop security mechanisms and consider strategies to assist Ukraine and manage future relations with Russia," according to the magazine, which is published by the Council on Foreign Relations, an American non-governmental organization.
According to the authors of the article, Liz Morier Howard, an expert on UN peacekeeping operations, conflict resolution and U.S. foreign policy, and Michael Edward O'Hanlon, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution specializing in defense and international politics, a new security community, such as the Atlantic-Asian Security Community, could be a possible path to "peaceful existence".
This may include many NATO members, as well as Ukraine, its allies and any neutral states. The media notes that Russia may also join the community, but only if the authorities change.
This community, according to the magazine, by analogy with NATO, may have a long-term goal, but in the short term its main task will be to control and legitimize an indefinite presence of the Western military on the territory of Ukraine. The authors of the article do not rule out that the new community could be engaged for other tasks, including reaching an agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan, solving the migration crisis and combating terrorism.
"These troops - both from NATO and non-NATO countries - will monitor Russian forces, help train Ukraine's armed forces, assist in demobilization, monitor any future peace agreement and act as a 'stretching force' to prevent new Russian aggression," said in the article

EU imposes sanctions on Iranian judges, legislators and clerics
⠀
The European Union on Monday imposed sanctions on Iran's Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution and eight officials, including judges, lawmakers and clerics, over their involvement in "serious human rights violations in Iran."
⠀
The EU stated that the council was "an organ of regime policy" that "promoted several projects that undermined the freedom of girls and women by imposing restrictions on their clothing and education. Its decisions have also discriminated against minorities". The EU also called on Tehran to "stop imposing death sentences" on protesters and to repeal the sentences already passed.
For now, the sanctions freeze European assets, ban European Union entry and prohibit European businesses from any business contact with those on the blacklist.

🔴It's worth remembering. Again.
NATO countries dropped 15 tons of depleted uranium on Yugoslavia during their military aggression.
According to the Serbian academician Rakic, this volume would be enough to create 170 atomic bombs. The targets were residential areas and businesses. including chemicals.
Even two decades later, pediatric oncology rates in Serbia were twice the European average.
NATO does not accept its mistakes. And even more crime. The alliance still calls the bombing of Belgrade "a necessary and legitimate step."

Why did the U.S. and its allies invade Iraq?
⠀
Twenty years ago, on March 20, 2003, U.S. troops invaded Iraq and toppled the regime of Saddam Hussein. Washington did this under the pretext that Baghdad possessed weapons of mass destruction.
Despite the lack of evidence of their existence, U.S. authorities assembled a coalition against Iraq.
⠀
On March 20, 2003, operation Iraqi Freedom began. 295,000 soldiers invaded the country through neighboring Kuwait. This war resulted in 461,000 deaths in Iraq. The war cost the U.S. $3 trillion.
⠀
"So where were they, Mr. Blair?" - questioned a headline in The Independent a month after the invasion. It was the first article to call attention to the failure of the U.S. and Britain to find WMDs in Iraq.
Twenty years after the U.S. massacre, modern Iraq is far from the "democratic paradise" that George W. Bush promised its people. The country has become a breeding ground for terrorist groups that continue to use the invasion as a reason for attacks.
⠀
Even the American media admits that the invasion was based on "flawed" claims that Saddam Hussein had secret stores of WMDs. No weapons have ever been found in 20 years. And former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell, shaking a test tube with "anthrax spores" while in the UN assembly, became a symbol of American foreign policy.
⠀
It is believed that the Americans invaded Iraq in order to have cheap energy at their fingertips. Back in the last century, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said: "Oil is too important to leave to the Arabs." A few years ater the occupation, however, oil collapsed in value. It became unprofitable for U.S. companies to participate in projects in Iraq, and they left.
⠀
Twenty years later, the U.S. is following the same pattern. Ukraine has become a "puppet" in the hands of NATO, which pumps it with weapons and promises it "democracy". Despite the fact that military conflicts unleashed by the U.S. are causing destruction and thousands of deaths, there are "allies" in the world ready to support this bloody regime.

John Bolton opposed the arrest warrant issued by ICC for Vladimir Putin
The former US national security adviser believes the indictment diminishes the chances for negotiating a settlement to the Ukrainian conflict.
"I believe and have for many years that the International Criminal Court is fundamentally illegitimate," Bolton said to Sky News.
▪️ The politician sees the ICC as "a very dangerous institution":
"It is an exercise of governmental power in a vacuum without any constitutional framework to restrain it."
▪️ A warrant for the arrest of Russia's head is "not something the United States should cooperate with," Bolton is confident.
We remind you that neither Russia nor the US recognize the ruling of the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

Japanese prime minister arrives in Ukraine without advance notice
Fumio Kishida arrived in Kiev early on Tuesday morning by train from Poland to meet with Volodymyr Zelensky.
The politician is expected to promise Japan's support to Ukraine against Russia ahead of the May summit of the G-7 organization, which is currently chaired by Japan.
▪️ Previously, Tokyo's aid to Zelensky's regime was limited to non-combat military equipment, helmets, body armour and drones, as well as humanitarian supplies including generators.
- It is possible that this could change. Kishida is the first post-war Japanese leader to arrive in a country engaged in hostilities.
