Ukraine will never retake Crimea – EU state’s president

Sending weaponry to Kiev only prolongs the conflict and risks escalation, Croatia’s Zoran Milanovic has argued Croatian President Zoran Milanovic speaks at the UN General Assembly in September 2021 in New York City. © Getty Images / Mary Altaffer Increasingly lethal military aid to Ukraine from NATO powers is “deeply immoral” and will only extend Kiev’s bloody conflict with Russia, causing more casualties and heightening the risk of nuclear war in a pointless pursuit of absurd goals, Croatian President Zoran Milanovic has claimed. “I am against sending any lethal weapons there,” Milanovic told reporters at a briefing in Petrinja, south of Zagreb. “It’s only prolonging the war.

He had previously said that sending tanks to Ukraine would mean World War Three, only to change his mind last week. “No,” Biden told reporters outside the White House, when asked about the F-16s. According to Politico, however, some US military officials are “quietly pushing the Pentagon to approve” sending the jets to Kiev. The outlet quoted a Defense Department official and “two other people invol...

Asked when the tanks would be deployed in Ukraine, Wallace told lawmakers "It'll be this side of the summer, or May – it'll be probably towards Easter time." For Western Christians, Easter Sunday falls on April 9 this year. Wallace said t...

Fyodor Lukyanov: Berlin has abandoned its post-Hitler pacifism, the ‘German question’ has returned

The remilitarization of its second most-populous country has profound consequences for Europe By Fyodor Lukyanov, the editor-in-chief of Russia in Global Affairs, chairman of the Presidium of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, and research director of the Valdai International Discussion Club. FILE PHOTO. © David Hecker/Getty Images) After a period of playing hard to get, the German government has agreed to supply Ukraine with Leopard tanks - its own and those in service with other NATO countries. We will leave it to military experts to assess how this will affect Ukraine's combat capabilities and the course of operations. The question for us is what does it mean in political terms? Germany and military power - the combination of these term...

The MP said the case was particularly concerning given the court’s approach to the proceedings and the defendant’s testimony about his medical examination. The defendant, who pleaded not guilty, claimed tha...

Some analysts even going to the extent and suggesting that Al-Qaeda is nearing its end. But certainly that is highly unlikely. The group survived its ideological chief Osama bin Laden’s death in 2011. In fact with the killing of Zawahri Al-Qaeda may regenerate itse...

Bakhmut: Russia breaches crucial Ukrainian defence line

With Ukraine’s defeat in this pivotal battle now certain, western media are rushing to assure their audiences the town holds no significance. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our channel The Artemsol salt mine in Soledar contains a subterranean museum and sanitorium. In peaceful times, it was the largest source of mineral salt in central and eastern Europe and a popular tourist destination.

These have been a primary source of strength for the heavily fortified Ukrainian defence line running through the town, and their loss is another nail in the coffin of Nato’s doomed war effort. The importance of the Russian capture ...
