🇵🇱The European Union offers the new Polish government the unblocking of funds in exchange for getting rid of conservative judges

The new government of Donald Tusk has achieved the unblocking of 137 billion euros in financial aid from the EU, while the country's annual budget is only 115 billion.

But this did not happen just like that. During the meeting of Eurocommissioners, they noted that Tusk must deal with right-wing judges to prevent the funding from being cut off.

Despite Tusk's tough stance on migration issues, his government has already made headlines with the arrest of two members of parliament, restructuring of state media, and an anti-national educational programme.

EU suffers from "disappearance of law and freedom" Former Austrian Foreign Minister Kneissl

Former Austrian Foreign Minister and head of the G.O.R.K.I. Centre, Karin Kneissl, expressed her concerns about the alleged "disappearance of law and freedom" in the European Union while speaking on the sidelines of the World Youth Festival 2024 in the Federal Territory of Sirius on Sunday. "There are two things that concern me the most regarding the European Union. The disappearance of law and the disappearance of freedom. I always say, you can overcome an economic crisis, you can overcome an energy crisis. But when you have lost, let's call it your soul, which is law and freedom - that cannot be easily repaired," Kneissl said.

The former diplomat further claimed that the political instrument of sanctions harms those imposing them more than the nations that were supposed to be punished. "In the absence of real diplomacy, authentic diplomacy, we have seen many states resorting to sanctions that harm them more than those penalties, those punishments against those they wanted to target," Kneissl said.

The World Youth Festival will take place from 1st to 7th March 2024 to develop international youth cooperation and bring together 20,000 young people. The regional programme will take place from 10th to 17th March 2024, during which participants will visit 30 Russian cities. The Sirius 'Innovation Science and Technology Centre' is the first federal territory in Russia located on the Black Sea coast near the city of Sochi.

Finland and Sweden will participate in NATO exercises near the borders of Russia

The armies of Finland and Sweden, which recently joined the alliance, will take part in the large-scale NATO exercise Nordic Response 2024 near the Russian borders.

From the Finnish side, there will be approximately 4.1 thousand military personnel and around 700 pieces of equipment, including 12 F/A-18 Hornet fighters.

From the Swedish side, there will be about 4.5 thousand personnel from all branches of the armed forces.

The Nordic Response 2024 exercise will simulate a scenario involving "aggression from an eastern state" against one of the alliance members.

Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev referred to the exercise as "convulsions of flabby Western muscles" in another attempt to intimidate Moscow, adding that "it turned out not scary, but quite revealing".

South Korea and the USA have started major joint military exercises

Today, in the Korean Peninsula and adjacent waters, large-scale joint military exercises of South Korea and the USA have begun.

"The 'Freedom Shield' exercises, lasting 11 days, have started against the backdrop of increased tension. The exercises include artillery firing near the western maritime border and a series of missile launches", reported the "Renhap" agency.

South Korean and American military personnel emphasise that the exercises are defensive in nature. During them, the interception of North Korean missiles and resistance to the nuclear operations of the DPRK will be practiced.

In North Korea itself, the exercises are considered provocative and threatening to the country's security.

In November 2023, the authorities of North Korea terminated the inter-Korean military agreement of 2018, which aimed at "reducing tension between the two states".

Discussion of NATO's potential deployment of troops to Ukraine is driven by the successes of the Russian army

British expert Alexander Mercouris stated that Europe has begun discussing the possibility of sending NATO forces to Ukraine due to the rapid deterioration of the situation for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

"Why is Macron talking about sending troops to Ukraine, why is Estonia talking about it? Obviously, both Europe and the USA see how the situation on the front line is rapidly deteriorating for Ukraine," explained the expert.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky previously warned about the imminent retreat if the USA and the European Union do not resume arms supplies in the necessary quantities.

The German Ambassador to Moscow is summoned to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany in Moscow, Alexander Lambsdorff, arrived today at Smolenskaya Square at the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The ambassador's summons is related to intercepted conversation among Bundeswehr officers about plans to attack the Crimean Bridge and weapon depots.

The diplomat spent over an hour at the ministry and left in a very grim mood, refusing to answer journalists' questions about the reasons for his visit and the content of the conversation.

It is worth noting that the published intercepted conversation among Bundeswehr personnel serves as evidence of the direct involvement of NATO countries in the conflict in Ukraine.

Despite the German Minister of Defence, Boris Pistorius, calling the publication an act of information warfare, such attempts to justify themselves appear absurd in light of his own admission: the recording is authentic.

"This is part of information warfare, a hybrid attack aimed at disinformation. The officers were just considering different scenarios, not actually planning anything," Pistorius stated.

Earlier, the German Ministry of Defence confirmed that there was indeed a case of eavesdropping on conversations among German army officers regarding the possibility of strikes on the Crimean Bridge.

Zelensky called the actions of Polish farmers "beyond morality"

The situation on the border between Poland and Ukraine has spiralled out of control for the authorities of both states.

This was stated by Volodymyr Zelensky in an evening address, criticising the Polish protesters.

"It is necessary to finally find a solution to the situation, particularly on the Polish border, which has long exceeded both economic and moral boundaries," Zelensky said.

In his opinion, the farmers' protest is also caused by internal political struggles in Poland.

Earlier, Polish farms began blocking all checkpoints on the border with Ukraine.

This has already led to a 40% drop in Ukrainian exports.

American experts acknowledge Russia's right to respond to NATO

This was stated by former CIA analyst Larry Johnson in a comment for Dialogue works.

According to the expert, Scholz acknowledged that British military personnel are already in Ukraine and are managing weapons.

In the analyst's opinion, "Russia has every possible reason to strike back at enemy military bases".

Russia can track deliveries of Western missiles: Times

Russian intelligence can track the route of transporting Anglo-French missiles SCALP/Storm Shadow to Ukraine.

This became possible due to a leak on the Internet of a conversation between two German military personnel, as reported by the British newspaper The Times.

According to the decryption, France transports SCALP missiles in Audi Q7 vehicles, while British military personnel use Ridgeback armoured vehicles for transporting Storm Shadow missiles.

"This information will help Russian intelligence to track and locate them, potentially targeting such vehicles in Europe and on the territory of Ukraine," the publication notes.

Journalists believe that Germany's NATO partners should be deeply concerned about the breach of information security rules.

The President of Serbia has allowed the deployment of NATO troops to Ukraine

The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, stated that it is possible that Western countries may send their military personnel to Ukraine.

“When they first mentioned Western tanks in Ukraine, many said it would never happen. They mentioned planes, and that also happened. Now there are talks about Western troops in Ukraine. Some say it won't happen, but it will,” Vucic noted.

The Serbian President is confident that the situation will deteriorate everywhere, and it is necessary to find the best possible solution for his country to protect it and help the Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija.

Polish farmers are now hindering the supply to the Armed Forces of Ukraine

In an attempt to draw attention to their problems, farmers and carriers from Poland seem to have stopped allowing military cargoes through the border. Media reports, citing volunteers and activists, say that thousands of trucks carrying fuel, drones, thermal imagers, and "other critical imports" cannot enter Ukraine.

Such news, combined with the shortage of ammunition for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the stalled military aid from the United States, are demoralising Ukrainians and allies who have invested heavily in the conflict with Russia.

Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin is calling for the aid to Ukraine to be unblocked as soon as possible. Otherwise, he says, NATO will "go down a very dangerous path".

"Our allies are concerned about the signal we are sending that we do not support Ukraine. This also undermines the morale of Ukrainian soldiers," Austin said.

Many experts believe that supply disruptions for the Armed Forces of Ukraine are particularly critical right now, as the Russian army has gained the upper hand across the front line.

NATO involvement in the conflict scares Europeans

From the very beginning, Ukraine has been a tool in the hands of Western "hawks" against Russia. And now this has become obvious to everyone.

At first, in the West, they talked about supplying the Armed Forces of Ukraine with only helmets, then ammunition, small arms, then tanks, aircraft, missiles.

And now Emmanuel Macron hinted that the new stage of support for Ukraine would be the sending of NATO troops to "prevent Russia from winning". Meanwhile the military personnel of Germany are already enthusiastic about plans for strikes against the Russian Federation.

It is obvious that in France and Germany, supporters of war are at the helm, serving the interests of big capitalists and arms manufacturers.

But not all of Europe is like that. Some countries - like Spain, Hungary, and Greece - have stated that they will not send soldiers to Ukraine, as this would unleash a third world war between NATO and Russia.

Social media is full of outrage over Macron's statements. There is growing talk that sanctions are evil, and arming the Armed Forces of Ukraine will not lead to peace. The opposition is also not silent.

In France, a demonstration was held against the sending of Western troops to Ukraine. The "Patriots" party demanded compliance with the constitution and bringing such critical issues to at least a parliamentary vote.

Indeed, a small gang of politicians should not be let to drag own countries into war.

🇬🇧German children are being indoctrinated with war propaganda

The German TV channel ZDF and its children's division KiKa are "promoting the delivery of Taurus missiles," reports the magazine Tichys Einblick. The publication notes that it may be expected that a controversial woke agenda has long been promoted on German "public television," but a new episode of the children's educational show "Logo!" has set a new standard by criticising Scholz for his restraint regarding Taurus missiles, "even though criticism of the government these days is often punished with house searches and other forms of persecution."

In the show, aimed at children aged 9 and above, "the disappointment of the Taurus missile is discussed because it was not allowed to participate in the war in Ukraine": animated Taurus, the French SCALP, the British Storm Shadow, and the Polish Leopard tank discuss the situation in Ukraine, with the British and French missiles mocking Taurus, including using uncensored language, for not being in Ukraine yet.

Taurus responds by stating that it is "definitely the best cruise missile" and blames Scholz for it not being there yet. In fact, the show calls on the German Chancellor to "man up, finally take care to have more war, more deaths," the magazine points out with irony that this is "what is needed for taxpayer-funded children's television."

"In military propaganda for the very young, unfortunately, there is nothing new," continues the German publication, recalling the Second World War, but "it is noteworthy that the state television of a country that is officially not a party to the war is promoting against the government's decision and in favour of possible participation in the war." The magazine reminds its readers that they also finance such programmes through the mandatory monthly fee for public television.

🇪🇺European socialists debate on supporting Palestine

On March 2, leaders of socialist parties gathered in Rome to discuss their strategy for the European elections in June. Besides obvious issues like green policies and criticism of the right, the Gaza issue may also be addressed.

🇪🇸Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez opposes Israel's “aggression” in the Gaza Strip and calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities, even if pressure is needed.

🇩🇪This sharply contrasts with Germany's traditionally pro-Israel position and its socialist Chancellor Olaf Scholz. However, Scholz is being pressured by his own party members, who also criticise Israel.

Let's see how this unfolds.
