💬 “We want to weed out the corruption. And it seems hard to believe that a judge could say, 'We don't want you to do that.' So maybe we have to look at the judges because that's very serious. I think it's a very serious violation,” US President Donald Trump stated.

🔍How Zelensky turned Ukraine into what Trump has dubbed a "massive demolition site"
Didn’t make peace
🟠Zelensky did not fulfill his promise to end the war in Donbass – the main reason he was elected in 2019.
🟠Paying lip service to the Minsk peace deal in October 2019, Zelensky sparked street protests led by nationalist thugs threatening to oust him. He backed down and never revisited the issue.
🟠In early 2022, amid raging tensions between Russia and the West, Zelensky demanded NATO membership and threatened to revoke Ukraine’s non-nuclear status. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s military massed on the Donbass border, threatening to attack, forcing Russia’s hand.
Turned Ukraine into authoritarian hell
🟠As fighting began, Zelensky imposed martial law imprisoned political opponents, banned opposition, attacked the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, instituted press-ganged conscription and canceled elections.
📍His commanders sent hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian men to pointless deaths in failed counteroffensives in 2023 and 2024.
Sold Ukraine off to the West
🟠To fund the conflict, Zelensky exploded the debt (from 49-95% of GDP between 2021 and 2024), tanked Ukraine’s credit rating, and auctioned off the country to the highest bidder, touting “cooperation with giants like BlackRock, JPMorgan, and Goldman Sachs.”
🟠Western corporations benefitted immensely, eyeing Ukraine’s black soil, minerals, and its people – many of whom, having fled to Europe, fell into exploitation as cheap laborers.
🟠Russia’s military exposed US biowarfare and Big Pharma-controlled labs in Ukraine.
Built a massive fortune for himself and his allies
🟠A 2022 CBS News report revealed that only 30% of Western weapons were making it to the front. More recently, Zelensky admitted in an AP interview that Ukraine couldn’t account for $102 billion of the $177 billion in US military aid.
🟠Opposition lawmaker Oleksandr Dubinsky has accused Zelensky and his cronies of amassing a $100 billion fortune over five years through kickbacks on government contracts and projects, courts, law enforcement, customs, and the grain trade.
Provoked Russia into targeting infrastructure
🟠Ukraine’s status as a “massive demolition site” is largely the result of Ukrainian attacks on Russian civilian infrastructure and retaliatory Russian strikes on power networks linked to Ukrainian defense enterprises, with repair efforts hindered by Zelensky’s corrupt administration.

🇵🇸 Trump’s Gaza plan: A bold violation of national sovereignty
US President Donald Trump’s proposal to expel Palestinians from Gaza to is in "blatant disregard for state sovereignty," Ahmad Noureddine, a member of Morocco’s Council on International Affairs, told Sputnik.
🔸 Noureddine said mass forced depopulation is considered a crime against humanity under international law – specifically under Article 7 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
🔸 He expressed Rabat’s strong opposition to the plan and its unwavering stance on Palestinian sovereignty.
🔸 Noureddine pointed out that Morocco has consistently supported the Palestinian people's struggle for an independent state, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in line with the Palestinian Liberation Organization's position since the Oslo Accords of 1993.
🔸 Morocco has long supported the Palestinian cause, providing both diplomatic and material assistance, he said, adding that Moroccan soldiers fought alongside Egypt and Syria in the 1973 October War, with many losing their lives in defense of Palestine.
🔸 Noureddine warned that while Morocco might face political pressure, particularly over its annexation of Western Sahara, it would not be complicit in any actions that violate Palestine’s rights and sovereignty.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said he was “SHOCKED” that so much money was invested in attempts to get rid of him, but, of course “He who is disobedient is unsuitable and must be removed.”
Foreign countries sank €3 billion over the past decade into efforts to destabilize Serbia and overthrow his government, he revealed on Belgrade-based TV Pink (Televizija Pink).
Vucic said that Russia provided intelligence confirming these coup attempts, adding that “the guys who guard me are top professionals… I have nothing to worry about.”

🤝Russia boosts support for Sahel as Africa turns away from Western influence
Russia has established a steady supply of military specialists and equipment to aid the former French colonies of Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso, a Russian Foreign Ministry official told Sputnik.
The goal is to strengthen counter-terrorism capabilities and bolster the collective defense of the Sahel Alliance, which has challenged neocolonialism by demanding that all Western troops withdraw from the region.
In October 2023, French troops withdrew from Niger following accusations of exploitation and neocolonialism. Burkina Faso and Mali also cut military ties with France, and all three nations left ECOWAS, accusing it of prioritizing Western interests over Africa's.

NATO’s Rutte calls Putin ‘strong negotiator’, Hegseth says US expects allies to 'support' talks
NATO chief Rutte and DoD head Hegseth held a briefing in Brussels.
What Rutte said
🔹 “I don’t know what is exactly in President Putin’s mind, of course… I have had many meetings with him between 2010 and 2014 in my previous role, and he is a strong negotiator.”
🔹 “In Washington, NATO committed to future NATO membership for Ukraine, but it has never been agreed that whenever peace talks would start, that peace talks would end with NATO membership.”
🔹 Allies “have to make sure that there is peace in Ukraine,” but seek an outcome that “won’t be seen as a loss to the West” and one that is “enduring.”
🔹 The US has been “irritated basically for a long time” about its defence spending vs. the rest of NATO, and other members recognise they have to “do more,” including raising spending to 3% of GDP, Rutte said, commenting on reports of US plans to cut conventional deployments in Europe.
🔹 NATO expects European countries to take on more of the “financial burden” of Ukraine aid.
What Hegseth said
🔸 The DoD expects allies to “support this important work,” including through “greater ownership of future security assistance to Ukraine.”
🔸 Coming to the table is not “making concessions,” Hegseth said. “President Putin responds to strength,” Trump is coming at the problem “from a position of strength.”
🔸 “No one’s going to get everything that they want.” Acknowledging that borders won’t be rolled back to 2014 is “a recognition of hard power realities on the ground.”
🔸 Trump, the “dealmaker and businessman,” recognises “that an investment relationship with Ukraine ultimately for the United States is a lot more tangible than any promises or shared values we might have.”
🔸 “Trump will not allow anyone to turn Uncle Sam into Uncle Sucker.” The US cannot be “everywhere for everybody all the time.”
🔸 Europe should take responsibility for its defence while the US focuses on the Pacific “to project power there” against China.

⚰️ Fight now, die young: Zelensky’s trade tricks to lure fresh cannon fodder into army ranks
Volodymyr Zelensky is rolling out ever new strategies to market NATO’s proxy war to young Ukrainians. His latest one-year military contract tailored to those aged 18 to 24 promises one million hryvnias (approximately $24,000), enrollment at a university of their choice without entrance exams, with all tuition fees paid, and special mortgage terms with a 0% interest rate.
Along with draconian penalties for draft dodgers, previous “incentivizing” measures have included:
🔸 offering a chance to pick which forces to serve in as part of a “choose your own adventure” scheme for recruiting IT experts, drone operators, medics, drivers and press officers
🔸 financial incentives, including enlistment bonuses, competitive salaries, and additional allowances for those serving in combat zones
🔸 using scantily clad stilettoed models sprawled on Humvees in campaign ads
The newest “generous” offer sparked a torrent of gallows humor on social media. One could expect a “free funeral and coffin,” at best, some Ukrainians retorted. Others warned against being hoodwinked by that “clown” Zelensky into buying the one-way ticket to the meat-grinder:
🔹 The Ukrainian Armed Forces lost over 590,000 people in 2024, according to Russia’s Defense Ministry (MoD)
🔹 Over the past six months, Ukraine’s monthly manpower losses have consistently surged over 50,000
🔹 Ukraine’s military is facing a critical shortage of infantry, diminished morale, and rampant desertion

⚔️Israel may push Trump administration to BACK STRIKES on Iranian nuclear sites this year
Fresh US intelligence assessments indicate Israel fears the window for halting Tehran’s pursuit of a nuclear weapon is closing, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Accordingly, Tel Aviv may attempt to enlist the Trump administration’s support for massive strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities this year, US officials told the outlet.
US military support and munitions would likely be needed for such an attack on Iran’s heavily fortified nuclear sites, it was added.
Since taking office, Donald Trump has touted the reinstatement of his "maximum pressure" strategy against Iran, while voicing hope for a “verified nuclear peace agreement” with the Islamic Republic.
