What I don't get is why he thinks anyone here cares what he thinks. Does anyone believe that his rage is real? I mean, if so with that extreme degree of hatred maybe he is planning some terrorist act against a NATO base or something and we should report him.

Ukraine is working with US Congress on recognition of Russia as a terrorist state - Markarova

Ukrainian side is working with U.S. administration and Congress to define Russia’s status as a state sponsor of terrorism or a terrorist state, which would reflect its real nature and strengthen its isolation.

This was stated in an interview with Ukrinform by Ambassador of Ukraine to Washington Oksana Markarova, informs Censor.NЕТ.

"We are actively discussing this. We are asking our partners, colleagues, and friends to do everything possible, and we are trying to convince them and give examples of why this should be done," the diplomat said.

As she clarified, there are two parts to the status of a state sponsor of terrorism.

"Part number one is to directly name the country for what it is. And here, of course, we also understand that Russia is not a sponsor of terrorism, it is a true terrorist. And the second is what sanctions and restrictions go along with this name," Markarova explained.

She noted that it is not a matter of principle whether Russia will be recognized as a state sponsor of terrorism, a terrorist, or an aggressor: "We are actively working with the Congress on different wording options, as well as with the administration."

In addition, according to her, Ukraine is moving towards bringing Russia to justice, including in terms of establishing a tribunal for the crime of aggression.

"We are working on all the tasks we are facing. Our goal is complete isolation and full sanctioning of Russia until they not only stop this war and get out of Ukraine, but also until they are held accountable for what they are doing," the ambassador said. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3399133

Slovakia starts negotiations on MiG-29 transfer to Ukraine, - PM Heger

At a summit in Brussels, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy officially asked Slovakia with a request for MiG-29 fighter jets. Slovakia will now begin negotiations with European Commission to reimburse this military aid.

This was stated to journalists by Prime Minister Eduard Heger, informs Censor.NЕТ referring to UNIAN.

According to him, substantive negotiations are ahead on how the transfer of the planes can take place. The talks will be held jointly with Ukraine, the European Commission, and the responsible Slovakian agencies, which will determine the legal procedure.

Heger noted that these fighters have not been in use for a long time, Slovakia has no spare parts for them, and their repair was previously carried out by Russian specialists.

"Ukraine is not attacking anyone, it is defending itself. Slovakia wants to help and will continue to help Ukraine as long as I am prime minister," Heger said.

Slovak Defense Minister Jaroslav Naď, in turn, added that Ukraine desperately needs these aircraft.

"We can no longer use these machines, so let's deploy them where they can save lives. And we will still return some of the money. But the decision has not yet been made," the minister said.

Nad' also said that the Slovak government is considering the possibility of transferring heavy ground equipment to Ukraine.

It should be reminded that the Slovak authorities announced their intention to transfer Soviet MiG-29 fighters to Ukraine last year. However, the matter has not progressed beyond words. In August 2022, these aircraft were finally removed from combat duty and once again declared their desire to transfer them to Ukraine. In return, Slovakia wants to receive money from the European Union or military equipment from NATO. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3399135

This is Colonel Reisner again. Just a few seconds he needs in his reply to hit the nail on the head.

Activate subtitles and activate autotranslate English.






And this is a "short", it seems translating is not possible. One minute of truths about America that the Europeans do not want to hear. At no cost want to hear.

I do not really care, should not have answered the bait.
Maybe real, maybe a troll. Who cares. If this entity is a real fan it will soon meet its fate in Ukraine. Cursed regardless.

I mean, if so with that extreme degree of hatred maybe he is planning some terrorist act against a NATO base or something and we should report him.

I guess he's in Russia at the moment. You can easily get misinformed there. If he still lives in a decade he will probbably think different.

What the hell do they think they are doing there?


"Russia's in the wrong century actually, just take a look at the revival of the Russian Orthodox Church. As a matter of fact it's hard to see what they're fighting or even dying for, maybe that's why they're mostly told what they're fighting against.

Because what the hell is Russia the last bastion of? Hypocritical religious orthodoxy combined with oligarchic despotism, corruption and general backwardness? Sure, give me such a noble cause to sacrifice myself for, please!"

The Russian losses are not that interesting, we know the Russian way of waging this war now.
The Ukrainian losses and especially their ammo situation is what would be interesting to know. Because to influence both these in Russian favour is why the Russians do what they are doing.

Zelensky's advisor is reported to have begged Western allies desperately for sending ammo, saying that "we are practically blank".

UK-Norway gas pipelines face threat as Russia vows 'punishment' for Nord Stream leaks

Britain's critical energy supplies could be under threat, as Russia has threatened retaliation against the West over the alleged sabotage of the Nord Stream pipeline leaks. Last year, a number of leaks were discovered in both Nord Stream 1 and 2, both of which could transport massive quantities of natural gas from Russia to Germany through undersea pipelines in the Baltic Sea. Experts believe that the leaks were most likely sabotage, with the US and Russia both blaming each other for the act. Now, Kremlin, officials have said that the world should "know the truth" about the sabotage.

They noted that those who were found responsible for the leaks should be "punished" after an investigative journalist accused US Navy divers of blowing up the pipelines with explosives.

In a blog post, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh cited an unidentified source, which was dismissed by the White House as "utterly false and complete fiction".

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov praised Mr Hersh's post, saying the story deserved more attention.

He told reporters: "The world must find out the truth about who carried out this act of sabotage. This is a very dangerous precedent: if someone did it once, they can do it again anywhere in the world."

The Russian mouthpiece called for "an open international investigation of this unprecedented attack on international critical infrastructure", adding: "It is impossible to leave this without uncovering those responsible and punishing them."

Russia has repeatedly accused the West of sabotaging the Nord Stream pipelines, as last October, Moscow's Ministry of Defence accused Royal Navy personnel of blowing up the Nord Stream gas pipelines, an assertion that London said was false.

Following this accusation, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov warned that Russia is considering what "further steps" should be taken, raising fears that the UK's energy could now be at risk.

Given these threats, experts fear that Russia could use "retaliate" by targeting Western undersea pipelines and cables, which could be devastating for the UK's energy security, the country relies on exports from Norway for 60 percent of its gas.

Senior military and intelligence sources previously warned that Putin could try to sabotage the Langeled pipeline, which provides one-fifth of the country's gas demand.

A NATO source said: "Sabotage is the next step if they want to escalate by attacking Britain's critical energy infrastructure because we are so fragile. And it's no coincidence that Britain has been one of Ukraine's biggest backers."

Another NATO official who works directly on threats to critical infrastructure warned that the 725-mile-long Langeled pipeline is an "obvious target" for the Russians because of the vital role Norway has played in helping Europe wean itself off Russian gas.

Attacking European energy pipelines and cables would not be out of character for the Kremlin, as over the past year, Putin has manipulated gas flows into the EU as retaliation to Western sanctions.

Speaking to Express.co.uk, Dr Simon Cran-McGreehin noted that if Putin were to target the UK's energy infrastructure, this could cause enough disruption to force the Government to trigger Programme Yarrow.

Programme Yarrow, which is a blueprint for how the UK could deal with a week-long national power outage. As fears of energy supply grew this winter, the Government had been war-gaming such a scenario.

He said: "Yes. If our supplies from Norway and the continent were disrupted in some way, then it would have a significant impact on our gas supplies.

"We also import significant amounts from LNG ships, they come directly to ports. But nevertheless, if any of our energy infrastructures were to be compromised, then absolutely we'd see the sort of major interruption that the Government is planning for now."

He added that while he doesn't know whether Russian sabotage would be factored into the UK's plans, "I think that the Government will be very concerned about the rumours and suggestions that Russia has been allegedly interfering with energy infrastructure."
