๐Ÿฆ Russia's international reserves have exceeded $650 billion for the first time, according to the Central Bank.

After the start of Russia's special operation in Ukraine, the EU and G7 countries froze almost half of Russia's foreign exchange reserves, amounting to approximately โ‚ฌ300 billion.

The Russian Foreign Ministry has repeatedly called the freezing of Russian assets in Europe theft, noting that the EU is targeting not just private funds, but also Russian state assets.

๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ๐ŸŒซNow you see me, now you donโ€™t: Russian โ€˜SMOKESCREEN DRONESโ€™ changing the game

Yet another Russian military innovation has been spotted in the Ukrainian conflict zone where a first-person view drone was laying a smokescreen for advancing ground forces.

Hereโ€™s why airborne smoke-deploying drones are a game-changer:

๐Ÿ‘‰Laying down a smokescreen via drone rather than by ground forces potentially allows for greater precision;

๐Ÿ‘‰A UAV can account for changing wind patterns that could affect the smokescreen, and can lay down smoke exactly where it is needed at any given time;

๐Ÿ‘‰These drones can thus help provide better concealment for troops, keeping them out of harmsโ€™ way;

๐Ÿ‘‰Autonomy and flexibility, combined with advanced aerosol technologies, make UAVs indispensable in modern warfare.

๐Ÿ”Ž Macronโ€™s 'Coalition of the Willing': A stealth move for NATO expansion?

The French presidentโ€™s push to build a Coalition of the Willing aims to impeach the peace deal between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, Alexis Poulin, a leading EU policy analyst and co-editor of Le Monde Moderne magazine, tells Sputnik.

โ€œThey pretend to come as a coalition of European forces to protect Ukrainian cities. But in fact, this is clearly an advance post for NATO forces,โ€ Poulin points out, warning of the risk of escalation.


He insists that European leaders, along with the North Atlantic Alliance, are trying to build up a force on the ground in Ukraine, โ€œnot saying it's NATO, but clearly it will be NATO.โ€

SWIFT is a system of the past and will be replaced by end of decade - economist

The US is ready to consider Russia's return to the international banking system SWIFT. Why is it interested in Russia's comeback?

"The interest is understandable...[SWIFT] is logical and absolutely familiar for Americans," Nikita Maslennikov, an economist and expert at the Center for Political Technologies, tells Sputnik.


As of today, 159 US companies are operating in Russia at full capacity, 178 are in a semi-suspended mode but have not officially left the country, while over 300 have left permanently, as per Maslennikov.

โ–ช๏ธRussia is in no rush to rejoin SWIFT as it has its own National Payment System, which has proved to be a viable alternative within the country, the pundit says. The use and testing of cross-border payment mechanisms is also already underway, Maslennikov says.

"Currently, the issues of international digital settlements are being tested. There is already an active use of digital financial assets in international payments for a number of countries and transactions," the pundit says.


SWIFT is a system of the past, Maslennikov adds, saying that by the end of the decade alternative systems will emerge. Over 90 countries are presently testing their own central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).

๐Ÿ“น Ungrateful allies: How Ukrainians MOCK the US

โ–ช๏ธSince the beginning of March, Ukrainian coffee shops have been renaming Americano coffee to 'Europiano' or 'Ukrainiano'. Such a cancel culture.

โ–ช๏ธIn early March, a video went viral showing the dog Patron beating up Trump. It seems that Ukrainians forgot that cartoons about Patron the dog were financed by USAID.

โ–ช๏ธ"Do the US people remember that after the 9/11 events Ukraine sent its troops to support the US in Iraq and Afghanistan?" one Ukrainian X user asked.
Well...

โ–ช๏ธWhile the US is experiencing a shortage of eggs, Ukrainian users remind Americans that Ukraine has high export rates of this product. And if the US lets them win, Ukraine 'will become a superpower in Europe'.

โ–ช๏ธThe egg theme doesn't end there. Ukrainians regularly post memes with eggs or scrambled eggs - especially for their American partners.

โ–ช๏ธUkrainian bloggers are also trying to criticize the US. One of them accused the US of "trying to fool long-suffering Ukraine with the rare earths deal," passing a sentence on America.

โ–ช๏ธAnother Ukrainian blogger accused the US of betraying Ukraine since Washington had decided to reconsider its relations with Russia. But now Ukrainians "have to accept it." Very Ukrainian analytics.

โ–ช๏ธOne more blogger from Ukraine claimed the US is protecting Russia's territory and interests during negotiations, lamenting the deal "is not fair."
