Russia publishes data on foreign mercenaries in Ukraine
400 foreign fighters remain trapped in Mariupol, where Kiev forces have refused an offer to surrender
An estimated 6,824 foreign mercenaries from 63 countries have come to Ukraine to fight for Volodymyr Zelensky’s government, the Russian Defense Ministry stated on Sunday. Of these, 1,035 have been “destroyed,” while several thousand remain. Four hundred foreign fighters are holed up in Mariupol, where nationalist forces, including the neo-Nazi fighters, have refused to surrender.
The most numerous group of foreign fighters (1,717) arrived from Poland, while around 1,500 came from the US, Canada and Romania. Up to 300 people each came from the UK and Georgia, while 193 arrived from the Turkish-controlled areas of Syria.
These figures were announced on Sunday by Defense Ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov. According to the general, 1,035 foreign mercenaries have been killed by Russian forces and 912 fled Ukraine, leaving 4,877 active in the cities of Kiev, Kharkov, Odessa, Nikolaev and Mariupol.
Roughly 400 of these foreign fighters remain embedded with Ukrainian nationalist battalions in the besieged port city of Mariupol, Konashenkov stated. With most of the city under Russian control, these forces have dug in at the sprawling Azovstal metallurgical plant, a gargantuan Soviet-built factory complex spread over 11 square kilometers.
“Most of them are citizens of European countries, as well as Canada,” Konashenkov stated, adding that Russian forces have intercepted radio communications from the plant in six foreign languages. After the surrender of more than 1,000 members of Ukraine’s 36th Marines Brigade at the Ilyich Steel and Iron Works in Mariupol earlier this week, which Ukraine denies, the Russian military offered the defenders at Azovstal a final chance to lay down their arms and surrender on Sunday morning, promising that “all who lay down their weapons are guaranteed the preservation of life.”
No such surrender took place, and the pounding of heavy guns could be heard near the plant on Sunday afternoon. “In case of further resistance, all of them will be destroyed,” Konashenkov said.
“Let me remind you that foreign mercenaries do not have the status of ‘combatants’ under International Humanitarian Law,” Konashenkov said. “They came to Ukraine to earn money by killing Slavs. Therefore, the best that awaits them is criminal liability and long prison terms.”
Within days of Russia’s military assault on Ukraine, the government in Kiev promised visa-free entry for foreigners willing to take up arms against Moscow’s forces. Potential recruits visited Ukrainian embassies across the West and signed up to fight – often with the blessing of their own governments – and made their way to the battlefield.
However, recruitment was narrowed in March to those with military experience, and paused entirely at the beginning of April. A spokesman for Ukraine’s so-called “International Legion” told Canadian media that sending untrained volunteers to the front was becoming more of a hindrance than a help, and supplies of firearms and ammunition were running low.
Some of those who made the journey shared horror stories online of being sent to the front lines with inadequate weapons and ammo, while recruitment suffered after a Russian missile strike leveled a training center for these foreigners near the Western Ukrainian city of Lvov. “Up to 180 foreign mercenaries and a large quantity of foreign weapons were destroyed,” Konashenkov said at the time.

None of the 400 surrendered, SeeEyeAye most likely. An interesting part of the article was Russia built that factory.So Russia has the entire layout and design of the factory

Ukraine plans ‘monstrous’ provocation – Moscow
Kiev wants to pin civilian casualties on Russian troops, Moscow claims
The Russian Defense Ministry said on Monday that Kiev, with Western backing, is planning to shell churches, during Orthodox Easter celebrations in southern and eastern Ukraine, and then pin the blame on Moscow.
“Nationalist battalions will form more than 70 mobile groups equipped with mortars with the goal to shell Orthodox churches on Easter Sunday,” Colonel General Mikhail Mizintsev, the head of Russia’s National Defense Management Center, said.
Orthodox Christians will celebrate the holiday on April 24, a week after than the feast was held in most of the Western world. According to Mizintsev, the attacks are planned in the Zaporozhye, Nikolaev, Odessa, Sumy, and Kharkov regions. The plan is to later “accuse Russian troops of mass murder of civilians on this holy day,” he stated.
Mizintsev asserted that “several Western countries” were aiding Kiev in the preparation of “sophisticated monstrous provocations with numerous victims.”
The Defense Ministry said it has evidence of the claims. It called on the UN, OSCE, and the International Committee of the Red Cross “to influence the Kiev regime” to prevent the alleged planned attacks.
Ukraine has not commented on the allegations. Both Kiev and Moscow have repeatedly denied killing civilians and are accusing each other of waging disinformation campaigns.

Serbia accuses UK of violating UN resolution
President Vucic has criticized Britain for allegedly shipping anti-tank missiles to Kosovo
Senior officials in Serbia have blasted Britain after a report in local media claimed that the country had secretly supplied advanced weapon systems to Kosovo, a breakaway region that Belgrade considers to be under its sovereignty. 'Novosti' claimed on Sunday that 50 NLAW shoulder-fired anti-tank missiles had arrived in the partially recognised statelet, with more weapons to come.
According to the newspaper, the delivery was agreed upon by UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Albin Kurti, who holds the office of prime minister of Kosovo, in late February.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said the news highlights the hypocrisy of the Western position on Kosovo and its relationship with Serbia, particularly when it comes to weapons purchases. Western nations are preparing Kosovo so it can field its own fully-fledged armed forces, he alleged.
“Not only are the British arming them. And they do so with dangerous missiles that proved themselves in Ukraine, so we received the message,” Vucic told Pink TV in an interview on Sunday. “They are also being armed by the Americans, and the Turks are training their pilots for the future.”
Kosovo is not allowed to have an army under the 1999 UN Security Council Resolution 1244. The document formalized self-governance in the region after a NATO bombing campaign, which assisted Pristina in breaking away from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The resolution established KFOR, an international peacekeeping force provided by NATO, as the sole authorized military presence in the breakaway region.
“My question is simple: is Resolution 1244 still valid or not. Or has it ceased to be valid after the declaration of independence? It seems that way,” Vucic said, referring to the Kosovo parliament’s declaration of independence from Serbia in 2008. Belgrade did not accept it, but many Western nations, including the UK, consider Kosovo a sovereign state.
Serbian Interior Minister Aleksandar Vulin expressed similar concerns in somewhat stronger terms. “You cannot arm terrorists and hope for peace,” he told Pink TV.
Vulin blasted the authorities in Kosovo for asking NATO to offer them membership, stating that Kosovo has neither the money nor the manpower to be a valuable member of the US-led bloc. He alleged that Pristina wants to be in the alliance to provoke a new military attack by NATO against Belgrade.
The allegations from Serbia come one week after the reported delivery of advanced Chinese anti-aircraft systems to the country. Belgrade signed a contract for the FK-3, the export version of China’s HQ-22 mid-to-long range missiles, in a transparent manner, the Serbian president was reported as saying by China’s CCTV on Wednesday, confirming earlier reports about the shipment.

Ex-Czech leader denounces ‘hatred of Russia’
Vaclav Klaus saysthat Western love for Ukraine is built on a bad foundation
Instead of sending more weapons to Ukraine, the West should focus on trying to resolve the Ukraine conflict through peaceful means, former Czech President Vaclav Klaus has argued in an op-ed.
“The war in Ukraine has been going on for seven weeks. … People are dying,” Klaus wrote in a piece published on the news website iDNES, last week.
“Yet, no serious peace talks are taking place. On the contrary. Instead of calls for such negotiations, we are hearing battlecries and reports of an increase in supply of modern weapons [to Ukraine].”
Klaus, who led the Czech Republic between 2003 and 2013 and also previously served two terms as prime minister, raised doubt about whether the current conflict was limited to just Russia and Ukraine. “Isn’t it actually a conflict between the West and Russia, in which Ukraine is an unfortunate, albeit convenient object?” he wrote.
The former president argued that “the West and Russia must sit down at the negotiations table as soon as possible.” He also suggested that the US, EU and China should participate in the talks.
I have always been terribly ashamed of the way the Czechs had treated Ukrainian migrants working in our country, both legally and illegally. Now suddenly everyone is gushing with love for Ukraine and Ukrainians. Is this love not just a ‘cover for hatred of Russia’, as one official, whom I don’t know personally, wrote to me in an email?
“Hating someone is a bad and flimsy motive for loving someone else.The tragic situation in Ukraine can’t be solved with love and/or hate. Reason and cold pragmatism must prevail,” Klaus wrote.
He added: “The same person wrote to me that ‘everyone has been blinded by the desire to destroy Russia, even at the cost of self-destruction and economic destruction of Europe’. It is time to dare to raise this issue. We need to learn from history.”
NATO member states have been sending weapons to Ukraine, ranging from anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles to armored vehicles and kamikaze drones. Many Western countries, including EU members, imposed sweeping sanctions on Moscow, with some calling for a ban on oil and gas imports from Russia.

China makes space offer
Beijing has signaled that the doors of its Tiangong space station are open to researchers from other countries
(Sounds like another plan for China to steal more technologies)
China has invited foreign astronauts to join the mission aboard Beijing’s Tiangong space station and conduct research alongside its crew.
Speaking on Monday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said that Beijing was “ready to cooperate with all nations.” The diplomat added that the “Chinese space station is inviting foreign astronauts to conduct research in outer space together with China’s taikonauts.”
Wang noted that China is holding consultations with the UN regarding a joint space mission, saying that space exploration should be a joint venture involving the entire international community. According to the official, an international team could get to work as early as the end of this year.
The first module of China’s Tiangong was sent into orbit last April, with two more laboratory modules awaiting launch later this year. The addition of these two segments will make the space station fully operational. If everything goes as planned, the mission of the Tiangong, which translates as ‘heavenly palace’, will last more than a decade. According to the South China Morning Post, the space station is expected to become the “biggest structure built and maintained by a single country in near-Earth orbit.”
The three Chinese astronauts, who had been working aboard the Tiangong until recently, safely returned to Earth on Saturday. Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping, and Ye Guangfu set a new Chinese record for the longest space mission, spending 182 days in orbit. They performed two spacewalks, with Wang becoming China’s first female astronaut to venture into space.
During their stay, the crew installed components for an external mechanical arm, adjusted cameras, and carried out several tests.
The next crew is expected to blast off to the Tiangong in May, preceded by an unmanned supply mission. The team, who the Chinese authorities say is currently in training, will be tasked with overseeing the docking of the remaining two laboratory modules.
Beijing has yet to announce the names of the astronauts who will be taking part in the mission, or the exact date of the launch.

Turkey comments on its military operation in Iraq
The Turkish defense minister pledged to fight Kurds in northern Iraq “until the last terrorist is neutralized”
(More proof NATO members are the corrupt combined Mafia of the world, and Erdogan is the enforcer of the evil)
The Turkish military operation in northern Iraq, which was launched on Sunday, has achieved all of its initial objectives, the country’s defense ministry said in a Monday morning update. Ankara is targeting Kurdish militant forces in Iraqi Kurdistan.
The military has reported killing a large number of “terrorists” and destroying many sites associated with them. “As of now, all of the planned targets have been achieved,” Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said.
He added that the operation will continue “with determination until the last terrorist is neutralized,” although no projected time frame for that was provided.
The official was monitoring the progress of the incursion alongside the country’s senior military leadership. Turkey launched the military action, dubbed Operation Claw-Lock, on Sunday evening.
According to the Defense Ministry, Turkish forces destroyed shelters, bunkers, caves, tunnels, ammunition depots, and command posts belonging to those whom Ankara labels as terrorists. Turkish commando forces and artillery were participating in the operation, which also involved multiple air strikes from manned and unmanned aircraft, the report said. Turkey offered no initial casualty assessment.
Turkish officials said the operation is targeting the forces of PKK, or the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, an ethnic Kurdish militant force that fought against Ankara for decades, as well as the Syrian Kurdish militia YPG. Both are considered terrorist organizations in Turkey.
The Turkish military has conducted a number of cross-border campaigns against Kurdish forces in both Syria and Iraq over the years. The latest operation focused on the Iraqi regions of Metina, Zap, and Avasin-Basyan, according to the Turkish ministry. Ankara claimed its incursion into Iraqi Kurdistan was legitimate under the national self-defense clauses of the UN Charter.
“Our activities are carried out in a way that respects the territorial integrity and sovereign rights of friendly and brotherly Iraq,” the defense minister said.
The official claimed his nation’s armed forces only targeted “terrorist forces” and did everything possible to avoid harm to civilians, cultural and religious sites, and the environment.

Date for global Covid-19 summit set
The virtual meeting will be aimed at “ending the acute phase” of the coronavirus pandemic, the US has said
(Dear God, I pray in the name of Jesus, take this old demented fool and his entire Admin out of power today. If it be your will. Amen)
The White House announced on Monday that the US, Germany, Belize, Indonesia and Senegal will host the second global Covid-19 summit in May. While the pandemic has been pushed from the headlines in recent months, the Biden administration said a summit is necessary to “bring solutions to vaccinate the world, save lives now, and build better health security.”
The virtual summit will take place on May 12. Belize, as chair of the Caribbean Community; Germany, holding the G7 Presidency; Indonesia, holding the G20 Presidency; and Senegal as African Union Chair, will co-host the event.
“The emergence and spread of new variants, like Omicron, have reinforced the need for a strategy aimed at controlling Covid-19 worldwide,” read a statement from the White House. “Together, we can mitigate the impact of Covid-19 and protect those at the highest risk with vaccinations, testing, and treatments, actions to minimize disruption to routine health services, and through support for the ACT-Accelerator multilateral mechanism,” the latter a reference to a World Health Organization (WHO) program for financing vaccines and treatment.
US President Joe Biden hosted a similar summit back in September, in which he called on world leaders to meet the WHO’s goal of vaccinating 70% of the world’s population.
While around 64% of the world’s population have received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, per WHO data, the disease still infected record numbers of people over the winter. As governments across the Western world turned to more coercive measures to force their populations to get vaccinated, the milder yet more vaccine-resistant Omicron variant spread unabated.
Now, with restrictions lifted in many countries, the conflict in Ukraine has forced the pandemic from the headlines, and only China is still deploying harsh lockdowns to contain relatively small outbreaks. (Russia knows they are trying to distract from the real problem.)
However, the Biden administration still considers asummit necessary to get “shots into arms” and raise “sustainable financing for pandemic preparedness, health security, and health systems.”

Wall Street bank raises alarm over US economy
Goldman Sachs predicts a 35% chance of a recession within the next two years
(new headline: Goldman Sachs is willfully engineering a recession within the next two years)
The Federal Reserve will face a difficult task in tightening monetary policy enough to cool inflation without causing a recession in the United States, Goldman Sachs Chief Economist Jan Hatzius wrote in a research report on Sunday and seen by Bloomberg. The analyst sees the odds of economic contraction at about 35% within the next two years.
According to the report, the regulator’s main challenge is to narrow the gap in what is a plentiful supply of jobs but scarce labor supply. The Fed also needs to slow wage growth to a pace consistent with its 2% inflation goal by tightening financial conditions enough to reduce job openings without sharply raising unemployment.
Achieving a so-called soft landing may be tough, because historically large declines in the job-worker gap in the United States have only occurred during recessions, Hatzius said. “Taken at face value, these historical patterns suggest the Fed faces a hard path to a soft landing.”
However, the chief economist said that a recession isn’t inevitable because the post-Covid-19 normalizations in labor supply and durable goods prices will help the Federal Reserve. There are more examples of other countries in the Group of 10 advanced economies that have pulled off such a soft landing, he said.
According to Hatzius, 11 out of 14 tightening cycles in the United States since World War II were followed by a recession within two years. However, only eight of them can be even partially attributed to Fed tightening – and soft or ‘softish’ landings have been more common in recent times, he said. He has forecast the odds of a US recession in the next 12 months at about 15%.

US should station troops in Taiwan – John Bolton
Republican hawk wants policy reversal to situation prior to 1979 rapprochement with China
(He’s not Republican, he loves the death cult that makes him Democrat. So now he wants to start a war with China)
Taiwan should ramp up its military cooperation with the US and start hosting American troops on its soil as it did before the 1979 switch of diplomatic recognition to Beijing, former US National Security Advisor John Bolton proposed at a policy event on Saturday.
Both the Washington and Taipei should boost military spending on the island’s defense, Bolton insisted, adding that the formal stationing of American troops could be part of a solution to the threat from China.
The US maintained a military presence on Taiwan between 1950 and 1979, with as many as 19,000 troops deployed during the period. This changed with the Nixon-era rapprochement with Beijing, which culminated in Washington’s change of diplomatic recognition of China to the mainland under Jimmy Carter.
However, the US kept informal diplomatic, trade and military relations with Taipei, including by keeping some military personnel as trainers and advisors, as well as guards at the American Institute in Taiwan, the de facto US embassy. The presence of US military personnel in Taiwan had long been an open secret, although last October Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen made an escalatory move by openly acknowledging their presence on the self-governed island.
Bolton, who is seen as one of America’s most hawkish officials, has long advocated beefing up the number of American troops in Taiwan and taking other steps toward what he describes as deterring an aggressive China. According to Foreign Policy magazine, he managed to push through a troop surge in Taiwan when he was advising the Trump administration. This policy was continued by President Joe Biden.
Beijing considers Taiwan part of its sovereign territory and has repeatedly warned the US against supporting any separatist sentiment there. Another uptick in tension over the island was expected last weekend, when US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was supposedly scheduled to visit. Beijing said such a move would cross its “red line.” However, the trip was postponed, reportedly due to Pelosi having tested positive for Covid-19.
Bolton made his proposal at the annual Global Taiwan National Affairs Symposium, a high-profile event organized by groups that want the island to formally declare itself a sovereign nation. Senior Taiwanese officials, including President Tsai and Vice President William Lai, were among the speakers.
