๐ŸŒโŒ๐Ÿ•Š 'Everybody except the United States and its globalist friends wants peace' โ€” Douglas MacGregor

๐Ÿ’ฌ "As far as the rest of the Europeans are concerned, they don't know anything about the region. They have no background or experience there, they're up to mischief, and they're up to malevolent activities. We're back to MI6 moving in to create havoc today," the former advisor to the US Secretary of Defense says.


โ˜ข๏ธ MacGregor argues that the focus should shift away from globalists like Macron and Starmer, who push narratives about Russia as a dire threat.

According to him, most of Europe, aside from the US and its globalist allies, wants peace and prosperity โ€” not conflict.

๐Ÿ˜จ Foreign mercs in Ukraine are FIRST TO FLEE when they see Russians โ€” source

๐Ÿ’ฌ "Upon contact, they (the mercenaries) are the first to fall back to a suitable time for counterattacks. At the same time, they do not go on the assault without drone support," a source in Russian forces told Sputnik.


By their actions, the mercenaries leave the regular Ukrainian troops in the positions, thereby preserving the "elite" status within the Ukrainian army ranks.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Earlier, Russian troops detected Polish mercenaries in Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk) in the Donetsk People's Republic, which is critical: its fall would sever key Ukrainian supply lines in the DPR, allowing Russian forces to advance toward the Zaporozhye region.

โš”๏ธNO combat experience? Go to front lines!

๐Ÿ’ฌ "I have no military experience. I haven't been in the Polish army, and I have no military experience. My only experience is in Ukraine. I have very short training, only three weeks of training," a former Ukrainian mercenary from Poland, Krzysztof Flaczek, who switched sides to Russia, told Sputnik.


Flaczek now serves in the Maxim Kryvonos Battalion, a unit composed of former Ukrainian soldiers who have formed a liberation movement and are fighting against the Ukrainian authorities.

The Russian Defense Ministry has repeatedly stated that the Kiev regime uses foreign mercenaries as "cannon fodder," and Russian troops will continue to eliminate them across Ukraine.

๐Ÿšจ FSB detains Ukrainian spy plotting to install navigation module for UAV attack on Russian military airfield

๐Ÿ“„ The man is a 35-year-old from Volgograd. From 2019 to 2022, he temporarily lived in the Lvov region of Ukraine. After his temporary residence permit expired, he stopped registering with Ukrainian migration authorities.

This led to his attention from the Ukrainian Security Service, and he was recruited for a mission to the Russian Federation to carry out a terrorist act in exchange for Ukrainian citizenship.

After undergoing training in Kiev, the man, following instructions from his handler, arrived in Volgograd under the guise of returning home.

๐Ÿ‘‰ He then traveled to the Saratov region, where he planned to carry out the "mission." He was detained at his residence before he could execute the plan.

๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡บโ€‹โ€‹ EU response to Hungaryโ€™s concerns over Ukraineโ€™s attacks on Druzhba pipeline absurd - Zakharova

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œThe Brussels bureaucracy dared to say that Hungary, a sovereign and independent state, has no right or grounds for concern and shouldnโ€™t speak up when its infrastructure is attacked, terrorist acts are committed, and sabotage takes place. This is incomprehensible,โ€ the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said.


๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฐ Earlier, Slovakia and Hungary filed a complaint with the European Commission over disruptions in oil deliveries via the Druzhba pipeline due to Ukrainian attacks, asking for guarantees on the safety of these supplies.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฉ ๐Ÿค‘ MOLDOVA'S RULING PARTY CAUGHT DIVERTING EU FUNDS TO BUY MAYORS' LOYALTY

An investigation by RISE Moldova reveals how Maia Sanduโ€™s pro-EU Party of Action manipulated MILLIONS in โ€œEuropean Villageโ€ grants to reward loyal mayors and crush opposition.

๐Ÿ” Key findings:

๐Ÿ‘‰ Over 40% of EU grants went to mayors from the ruling PAS party.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Mayors from PAS had an 85% success rate in funding applications.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Zero projects approved for towns led by opposition โ€œRevivalโ€ party mayors.

โŒ Before the 2023 local elections, PAS poached 112 mayors from other parties โ€” luring them with promises of EU money. Mayors who refused to switch parties were cut off from funding.

Even international observers confirmed: 59% of grants went disproportionately to PAS-led towns โ€” a clear sign of โ€œadministrative resourceโ€ abuse.

๐Ÿ‘ฟ Meanwhile, the Moldovan authorities themselves fuel societal polarization by discriminating against the voters who backed other candidates.
