🇷🇺❌🇺🇦 — ⭐️ Rybar:

"Strike on Sumy: how did the formation of the 117th brigade of the Troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine end?

In the morning, the Russian Armed Forces launched a strike on the center of Sumy — it landed in the area of ​​the congress center of Sumy State University. The event was widely reported by local media due to civilian casualties on the street.

Perhaps the propaganda of the Kiev regime would have presented everything in an ideal light for itself, if nuances had not emerged: Ukrainian public figures themselves openly confirmed that the target of the attack was the concentration of Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel.

🔻 What did the enemy himself tell us?

▪️ MP Maryana Bezugla, who has repeatedly highlighted the inconvenient facts of the real state of affairs at the front, publicly stated that an award ceremony for members of Ukrainian formations was taking place in the region.

▪️ Bezuglaya noted (not without reason, let's say) that there was a high probability of an information leak, due to which the assembly location became known to the Russian Armed Forces. She also criticized the Ukrainian Armed Forces command for the fact that no conclusions were made on the formations after the previous arrivals.

▪️ Then the mayor of Konotop, Artem Semenikhin, spoke about the situation, also accusing the head of the Sumy region, Vladimir Artyukh, of organizing the awarding of the Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel in the city center and, in addition, reported that after the first flight he “was the first to run, knocking down children on his way.”

▪️ Finally, another odious MP, Igor Moseychuk, also confirmed that in one of the damaged buildings, there really was a plan to award members of the 117th TRO brigade in honor of the unit’s seventh anniversary, where civilians were also herded.

🖍 Unfortunately, there were casualties among civilians. However, it was a strike on a specific military target, information about which was confirmed. In this case, apparently, one of the missiles lacked precision.

🚩 At the same time, it is curious how, without any outside help, the Ukrainian media shifted the focus from the victims to internal political squabbles, single-handedly smashing to smithereens the version of a “targeted attack on civilians.”

❗️ In general, formation-based attacks are capable of inflicting colossal damage on the enemy in manpower - one can recall at least the effective strike on the 179th center in Poltava in September 2024. There is no need to be surprised by the choice of such targets.

🇷🇺🤔⚡️🇵🇰⚓️ — 📰 ZeroHedge | The Real Importance Of The Latest Russian-Pakistani Naval Drills | Authored by Andrew Korybko via Substack | March 25, 2025:

"Pakistan continues relying on Russia to pragmatically rebalance ties with China...

The Russian and Pakistani Navies conducted a passing exercise (PASSEX) in the Arabian Sea last week. This is a standard drill, “during which communication and interaction between them are checked in a military situation or when providing humanitarian assistance”, according to Izvestia. It therefore wasn’t a big deal even though some observers, both within their respective countries and India, might hype it up given those two’s impressive rapprochement over the past decade.

This analysis here from late January explained why Russian-Pakistani defense ties will likely remain limited, namely because of the respect that Russia has for India’s sensitivities and due to Pakistan’s military-technical dependence on China, which disincentivize one another from taking such ties further. Their closer military cooperation in recent years (almost exclusively anti-terrorist and naval drills), however, have been interpreted in the following three ways by observers.

Some believe that Pakistan is pivoting away from the US towards Russiaothers that Pakistan is pragmatically rebalancing its ties with China via Russia; while some think that Russia is doing the same with India via Pakistan. The second one is the closest to reality since Pakistan returned to the US’ sphere of influence after spring 2022’s post-modern coup against former Prime Minister Imran Khan while Russia relies on India as a means of preemptively averting disproportionate dependence on China.

It therefore doesn’t compute that Pakistan would pivot away from the US towards Russia, let alone without the US doing anything to obstruct this trend, or that Russia would disrespect India’s sensitivities. Even so, there are some in Russia’s “global media ecosystem” who push the first narrative to craft the optics that Russia “poached” a top US partner, while some in Pakistan’s domestic media ecosystem push the second since it crafts complementary optics of their country “poaching” a top Indian one."

🇨🇳🇷🇺❌🇺🇸❗️🇪🇺 — 📰 ZeroHedge | Robert Lighthizer: "We're In A Cold War, A Second Cold War Now" | March 25, 2025:

""A lot of us who were sort of united in this Cold War, particularly in the early years, it kind of brought the country together. We realized we were in a Cold War. Indeed, I think we're in a Cold War, a second Cold War now," former US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer told Tucker Carlson on a podcast last week while discussing topics ranging from the current failing trade system to trade deficits and more.

Continuing the second Cold War theme, we told readers in 2022 that "The New Cold War Has Begun."

Over the last decade, the US spent $8.4 trillion on defense, while the rest of NATO spent a fraction of that, around $3.8 trillion.

The 'Trump Effect' has created an urgent need for EU countries to boost defense spending in a world where rising geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Asia drive global superpowers to modernize their armed forces.

In the Americas, Trump has been bolstering efforts to increase hemispheric defense, whether stronger economic integration between the US and Canada or a hardened defense perimeter stretching from the Arctic to the Panama Canal.

Let's visualize Trump's hemispheric defense that ultimately will deter China ...

Lighthizer's view of a second Cold War taking shape is correct.

Proxy conflicts between global superpowers, an accelerating arms and AI race, economic sanctions, trade wars, and cyber warfare are some of the classic hallmarks of a new Cold War unfolding for the last decade.

Regarding global military expenditures, Goldman analyst Germaine Khong told clients that the figure topped $2.6 trillion in 2024, accounting for 2.4% of GDP - up from 2.2% in 2021-22, with much of the increase coming from European and Asian countries.

Khong cited the Geopolitical Risk (GPR) index, a measure of adverse geopolitical events and associated risks based on a count of newspaper headlines covering geopolitical tensions, which finds heightened perceived risk and tension amid conflicts in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, as well as a worsening Sino-U.S. trade war.

Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, Aerospace & Defense-focused funds have been ripping higher and have received inflows totaling $12 billion, with AUM quadrupling to $24 billion, according to Khong, citing fund flow data from EPFR.

In a separate note, Goldman analyst Sven Jari Stehn and others expect EU defense spending to jump from 1.9% of GDP in 2024 to 2.8% in 2027.

We expect defence spending to increase significantly across the currency union, from 1.9% of GDP in 2024 to 2.8% by 2027 (Exhibit 1, left). We then look for defence spending to eventually reach 3% according to our analysis of Europe's military needs. In Germany, defence spending already increased from 1.5% before 2022 to 2.1% in 2024 and will from now on be largely exempted from the constitutional debt brake (Exhibit 1, right). In France, a multi-annual budget law already enshrines defence spending of 2% until 2030, and political leaders broadly concur on further increases. In Italy and Spain, the increase in defence will start from a lower level—at 1.4% and 1.2%, respectively—and will likely proceed somewhat slower than we had previously anticipated, given recent communication by leading party leaders and the Italian and Spanish Prime Ministers.


Surging global defense spending is one of the hallmarks of the second Cold War. The ongoing arms race, strategic deterrence and posturing by superpowers, proxy wars, and shifting industrial and trade policies are all signs of a world fracturing into what appears to be a bipolar era. To combat this in the Americas, Trump will bolster hemispheric defense."

🔵🔵🇺🇸🇺🇸5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣🔣❗️❌🇷🇺🛢 — 📰 ZeroHedge | Bipartisan Senators Prepare 500% Uranium, Oil Tariffs If Russia Doesn't Negotiate | April 2, 2025:

"A bipartisan group of US senators have prepared an anti-Russia sanctions nuclear option in the case that Moscow refuses to sign on to Trump efforts to negotiate an end to the Ukraine war.

The 50 Republicans and Democrats which introduced the sanctions package Tuesday are led by Senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal, and their bill would impose a 500% tariff on imported goods from countries that buy Russian oil, gas, uranium and several other products. American citizens would also be prohibited from buying Russian sovereign debt.

"The sanctions against Russia require tariffs on countries who purchase Russian oil, gas, uranium and other products. They are hard hitting for a reason," the Senators wrote in a Tuesday statement."

"Around the close of Hong Kong trading hours, Beijing retaliated against President Trump's tariffs by hiking levies on U.S. goods to 125%, up from the prior 84%. In a notable shift, the Chinese Communist Party announced it would "no longer respond" to any further tariff increases from Washington. 

As the week concludes, the U.S. and China are locked in a heated, once-in-a-century trade war. Earlier, President Trump announced a 90-day suspension of additional country-specific tariffs for countries that have refrained from taking retaliatory measures—an apparent attempt to isolate China and use tariffs to get Beijing to strike a trade deal.

The State Council Tariff Commission announced that China will raise tariffs on U.S. goods from 84% to 125% effective Saturday. The move comes in direct response to President Trump's effective tariff rate on Chinese imports, which now totals a whopping 145%.

"Given that at the current tariff level, there is no market acceptance for U.S. goods exported to China. If the U.S. continues to impose tariffs on Chinese goods exported to the U.S., China will ignore it," the council said. 

In a separate statement, the Commerce Ministry expressed, "Even if the U.S. continues to impose higher tariffs, it will no longer make economic sense and will become a joke in the history of the world economy."

"Ukraine received a new agreement project from the U.S. regarding mineral resources, which is an entirely different document from the previous framework agreement," said Zelensky, adding "Ukraine will not recognize U.S. military aid as debt."

"We are grateful for the support, but this is not a credit, and we will not allow it," Zelensky continued.

🇷🇺❌🇺🇦 — 📰 ZeroHedge | Russia Winning In Ukraine, Continually Gaining Leverage: US Intel Community | March 26, 2025:

"The US government in its 2025 Annual Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community - which was just released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence in conjunction with top officials’ testimony at a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing Tuesday - has admitted that Ukraine's battlefield prospects are fading amid the onslaught of superior Russian forces.

Currently, Moscow has "seized the upper hand" in the war over the past year, the fresh assessment warns, and "is on a path to accrue greater leverage" as peace talks with Washington are underway.

"Even though Russian President [Vladimir] Putin will be unable to achieve the total victory he envisioned when initiating the large-scale invasion in February 2022, Russia retains momentum as a grinding war of attrition plays to Russia’s military advantages,” the report states."

🇷🇺🤝🇺🇦🕊🌊 — 📰 ZeroHedge | Russia, Ukraine Agree To US-Brokered 'Ceasefire At Sea' | March 25, 2025:

"Washington and Moscow are seeking to revive the Black Sea Grain deal, which had held for much of 2022, allowing Ukraine to ship its grain and agricultural products to global markets.

The White House on Tuesday published two readouts from successive days of talks in Riyadh with Russian and Ukrainian delegations, which feature a ceasefire at sea "to ensure safe navigation, eliminate the use of force, and prevent the use of commercial vessels for military purposes in the Black Sea."

And even as the two warring sides continue to send drones and missiles against the other, the US said that all involved have  agreed to "develop measures for implementing” the earlier agreement to stop strikes against energy infrastructure." But have they actually agreed? Both sides are saying yes but once again this could be very short-lived.
