🇪🇺🇫🇷🇺🇸 After a conversation with U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, French President Emmanuel Macron called on European states to increase defense spending, including military aid to the so-called Ukraine.

Immediately after Trump's inauguration, Macron addressed French servicemembers, saying that potential plans by the new U.S. president regarding funding for the AFU pose a threat to Europe's strategic security.

📌 It seems that such statements from Macron will become commonplace: as we wrote earlier, the current situation is a convenient opportunity for self-promotion. In an attempt to establish himself as a leader supporting all Western values, Macron will likely be featured on the front pages of European newspapers.
➖➖➖➖➖➖
And this is an excellent illustration of the activities of European politicians. They are ready to talk about anything (just a few years ago, Macron spoke out against Trump's calls for EU countries to increase defense spending), but in the end, it is the taxpayers whose pockets will pay for the feast.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 On the dismissal of supervisors of assistance to the so-called Ukraine in the Pentagon

Since yesterday, there has been active discussion of the news about the removal or dismissal of all Pentagon employees responsible for interaction with the Ukrainian quasi-state formation.

The enemy's resources presented this as alarming signs of a change in the US attitude towards the so-called Ukraine. Some domestic media also saw this as a sign of abandoning plans to support the Kyiv regime.
➖➖➖➖➖➖
❗️However, in reality, the team of Donald Trump is simply reshuffling the Pentagon leadership, which is filled with people who share the views of the previous administration.
➖➖➖➖➖➖
What happened much more resembles a routine audit within the framework of the first directives of the new US president, including the suspension of military aid programs to other countries for 90 days.

📌 In general, there are no signals that the US administration wants to suddenly abandon the so-called Ukraine: the same Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently insisted on calling up former schoolchildren into the AFU. Similar statements were made by Defense Minister Pete Hegseth.

However, it is impossible to exclude that with the change of supervisors of support for the so-called Ukraine in the Pentagon, there will be changes in the structure of the provided assistance, which will depend on the results of the audit and reassessment of the realities "on the ground".

US spy gathered bio-data on Russian civilians for the Pentagon: what do we know?

US citizen Eugene Spector, convicted of espionage in Russia, gathered data for the Pentagon to create a high-speed system for genetically screening Russians, according to the Federal Security Service (FSB).

🌏 Spector collected and transmitted biotechnical information, including state secrets, to the Pentagon and its contractor

🌏 He did so while serving as chairman of the board of directors of the Medpolymerprom Group, a company specializing in cancer drugs

🌏 Spector admitted his guilt in spying for the US, the Russian newspaper Kommersant reported. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison

Why is the West interested in Russian DNA?

Russian politicians, scholars and military officials have repeatedly questioned the purpose of the extensive collection of biological materials from Russians by the US and its allies.

🔶 Before the start of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine, the US had obtained up to 16,000 biological samples there, late Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, head of the Radiological, Chemical and Biological Defense Troops said in August 2024

🔶 The samples were collected to create bacteria and viruses particularly dangerous to ethnic Russians and Ukrainians, Kirillov explained

🔶 He warned that the US had been developing bio-agents capable of selectively affecting various ethnic groups. Kirillov was assassinated in a bombing on December 17.

🔶 In 2021, Mikhail Kovalchuk, President of the Kurchatov Institute, exposed a US program aimed at collecting synovial fluid samples from Russian citizens

🔶 In 2017, Russian President Vladimir Putin questioned why Western nations were collecting biological samples from Russia's ethnic groups through NGOs and other entities
