Kremlin explains seizure of foreign assets
Russia has taken temporary control of utilities owned by Finland’s Fortum and Germany’s Uniper
Taking control of strategic foreign assets in Russia will enable Moscow to respond effectively to the potential confiscation of Russian companies’ property abroad, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday.
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on Tuesday allowing for thetemporary takeover of foreign assetsdeemed critical for the country’s energy security. The Federal Property Management Agency was ordered to establish external control of the Russian subsidiaries of Finnish energy company Fortum and Germany’s Uniper.
According to Peskov, the two companies’ assets were placed under the agency’s administration as soon as the decree was signed by the president.
The spokesman added that the move “mirrors the attitude of Western states towards foreign assets belonging to Russian companies.”
“The main goal of the step is to create a compensation fund for potential usein tit-for-tat measuresin response to the expropriation of Russian assets abroad,” Peskov said. He added that a number of states systematically carry out a rapid transition from temporary administration to actual confiscation.
The decree does not deal with property issues and does not deprive the owners of their assets, Peskov stressed, noting that the list of assets subjected to the measure could be expanded.
Uniper, listed in an addendum to the decree, owns 83.73% of Unipro, which operates five power plants with a total capacity of over 11 gigawatts in Russia and has about 4,300 employees. Finnish state-owned Fortum holds a 98.2% stake in local subsidiary Fortum PJSC.
The Russian response comes months after similar moves were made by Germany and Poland. In June 2022, the German authorities took over Gazprom Germania. In November, Warsaw seized Gazprom’s 48% stake in the EuRoPol GAZ joint venture, owners of the Polish portion of the Yamal-Europe pipeline. The Polish subsidiary of Novatek, which dealt in liquefied natural gas and other hydrocarbons, was also seized. Its assets were put up for sale earlier this month.
In September 2022, Berlin seized Rosneft’s stake in three major oil refineries, accounting for 12% of the country’s total refining capacity. Rosneft’s complaints against the move were dismissed by German courts. A law enacted by the Bundestag on April 20 allows for the outright expropriation of Russian assets by Germany.

US to send nuclear-armed submarines to Korea
The deployment, which is the first of its kind in decades, comes amid persistent missile tests by Pyongyang
The US will deploy submarines to South Korea armed with nuclear ballistic missiles, Washington officials told reporters on Tuesday. Intended to deter North Korea from further missile launches, the deployment is also likely aimed at reassuring the South Korean public, which recently learned that the US spied on their government.
The plan will be officially announced by US President Joe Biden and his South Korean counterpart, Yoon Suk-yeol, at the White House on Wednesday, the officials said in comments to multiple US media outlets.
Both men are expected to sign an agreement known as the ‘Washington Declaration,’ under which they will step up intelligence sharing and joint military exercises, while the US will send nuclear-armed submarines and bombers to South Korea on a rotating basis.
“We intend to take steps to make our deterrence more visible through the regular deployment of strategic assets, including a US nuclear ballistic submarine visit to South Korea, which has not happened since the early 1980s,” one of the anonymous officials said. They compared the move to “what we did with European allies during the height of the Cold War in similar periods of potential external threat,” referring to the north’s missile program.
Pyongyang has test-fired more than 100 missiles since the beginning of 2022, and this month alone tested its first solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile and a nuclear-capable underwater attack drone. Officials in Washington and Seoul have claimed since last year that the north is gearing up for its seventh underground test of a nuclear weapon.
North Korea considers US deployments near its territory to be “provocations,” and usually responds with verbal threats, drills of its own, or new weapons tests.
Aside from deterring North Korea, the deployment of nuclear-armed submarines to the south is likely intended to patch up relations between Washington and Seoul, which were rocked when recently-leaked Pentagon documents revealed that the US spied on top South Korean officials to determine their stance toward sending arms to Ukraine.
The official told reporters that “by undertaking these new procedures,” the US hopes to remind Seoul that America’s “commitment” to the country is “unquestioned.”

Kiev could ‘capture small Russian towns’ for leverage – WaPo
The Azov commander endorsed the strategy, which was inspired by Chechen terrorists, the newspaper says
The interim commander of Ukraine’s Azov Brigade (the current incarnation of a former volunteer unit known for its neo-Nazi ideology) has said that Kiev’s forces could capture Russian towns and use them to put pressure on Moscow.
In an interview with the Washington Post, Bogdan Krotevich was asked about Ukraine’s much-anticipated planned offensive against Russia.
He was referring to the experience of Chechen militants in the mid-1990s who “adopted a strategy of capturing small Russian townsto use as leverage to recover Russian-held areas” during the military conflict in the southern Russian republic. The Ukrainian fighter said his country “may do the same,” the newspaper reported on Wednesday.
It was not clear which episodes of the conflict in Chechnya Krotevich was referring to. One of the most tragic examples of violence spilling outside of the Chechen Republic at the time came in June 1995, when a militant force led by Shamil Basayev raided the city of Budyonnovsk, taking over 1,000 civilians hostage at a local hospital. Another raid targeted the city of Kizlyar in Dagestan the next year, in which Chechen militants led by terrorist Salman Raduyev likewise resorted to hostage-taking. Dozens of people were killed in both cases.
The Post’s article noted the desire of Krotevich and other Azov leaders to have more prisoner exchanges between Russia and Ukraine so that captured members of the unit can be returned. The man himself spent several months in Russian custody after he and other Azov fighters surrendered in the Donbass city of Mariupol. Krotevich was freed in a Türkiye-mediated swap last September.
“I came to the conclusion that the fastest way to release our prisoners is to take more Russian soldiers prisoner, and to end this war with our victory,” Krotevich stated.
The profile of the unit published by the Post claims thatAzov has “evolved” away from its neo-Nazi origins. (Right, the world believes this.WAPO carrying water for Nazis)
Moscow regards the original Azov Battalion, which was created in 2014, and its successor organizations as a terrorist group. The unit was incorporated into the Ukrainian National Guard early in its history and has now become one of nine ‘Attack Guard’ volunteer brigades. The Interior Ministry revealed them in February, touting service in the units as “an opportunity to dispose of enemies” of the country.

Russia to investigate alleged crimes by French mercenaries
Hired guns are suspected of executing Russian POWs in Ukraine, the Investigative Committee has said
Russia’s Investigative Committee has announced that it will investigate allegedwar crimes committed by French mercenariesfighting for Ukraine against Russian forces.
The agency claimed on Telegram on Wednesday that French citizens have been operating in the infamous Azov nationalist battalion and the 92nd Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
One of the French mercenaries “has published a photo of the execution of three Russian prisoners, who were shot at point-blank range,” the statement read.
“The Investigative Committee will establish all the circumstances of the incident in order to bring to justice those involved in the crime,”the agency added.
Earlier this week, French outlet Mediapart reported that, according to the country’s intelligence services,some 400 French citizens have traveled to Ukrainesince the conflict between Moscow and Kiev started in late February 2022. At least 100 of them have taken part in the fighting, including around 30 members of far-right movements, it added.
Last week, two Frenchmen were detained at the Bercy bus station in Paris after returning from Ukraine. They were hit with 15-month prison terms, nine months of which were suspended, for having illegal weapons parts on them, according to Le Parisien newspaper.
On Monday, the Russian Defense Ministry said that up to 60 members of the so-called ‘Georgian Legion’ were killed and 20 others wounded in a strike on the Ukrainian-held town of Konstantinovka in Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic.
The eliminated fighters “were involved in the brutal torture and murder of Russian servicemennear Kiev in March last year,” the ministry claimed.
Thousands of foreign fighters from Poland, Canada, the US, the UK, France, the former Soviet Republics and elsewhere are estimated to have traveled to Ukraine after the outbreak of the conflict with Russia. However, according to the Russian military, most of them have since fled the country.
Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said in the fall that around 1,000 foreign mercenaries were still fighting, while more than 2,000 of them have been killed.
Moscow has warned throughout the conflict that mercenaries are not viewed as combatants under international law and “the best thing that awaits them if they are captured alive is a trial and maximum prison terms.”

Young Biden believed 63 was too old for politics
While his age is now turning off many voters, the 80-year-old US president once played his youth to his advantage
US President Joe Biden got his start in politics by hammering a 63-year-old opponent for being too old to serve. Now the oldest-ever US commander-in-chief, Biden is being bashed by Republicans and Democrats alike for being over the hill.
Biden was 29 years old when he was elected to represent Delaware in the US Senate in 1972. His campaign offered a preview of the highly personal style of attack ads that would come to dominate American politics in the years since, with one radio ad describing his opponent, incumbent Republican Cale Boggs, as being trapped in the past.
“One of the biggest differences between Cale Boggs and Joe Biden is the things they worry about,” the ad stated, according to a CNN report on Tuesday. “In Cale Boggs’ day when Stalin ruled, Americans had visions of the Russian soldiers in our streets. In Joe Biden’s day, Americans have visions of American criminals in our streets."
“Joe Biden, he understands what’s happening today,” the ad concluded.
“Cale doesn’t want to run,” Biden told the Delaware Evening Journal on the campaign trail. “He’s lost that old twinkle in his eye he used to have.”
The strategy paid off, with the Associated Press reporting that Biden “stressed age to defeat Boggs” after he won by a sixth of a percentage point.
Biden is now 17 years older than Boggs was at the time of the election, and faces much of the same criticism he heaped on his Republican opponent in 1972. Biden has been accused by Republicans of focusing excessively on countering Russia in Ukraine, while crime rates rise in American cities. While Biden once described Boggs as losing “that old twinkle in his eye,” Biden’s opponents point to his verbal slip-ups and visible confusion as evidence that the president is experiencing advanced cognitive decline.
Biden announced on Tuesday that he will seek re-election in 2024. Should he be successful in that endeavor, he will be 86 at the end of his second term. Biden is already the first US leader to serve into his ninth decade, and a Reuters poll published on Tuesday found that 61% of registered Democrats felt that he is too old to continue working in government.
Politicians have aged since Biden first took his seat in the Senate. The 2020-2022 Congress was the oldest in history, with around a quarter of its members over the age of 70. In 1972, by contrast, just 8% of US lawmakers were over 70.
Americans in general are living and working longer than they were in the days of Biden’s youth. Life expectancy has risen from 71 years in 1972 to 79 in 2022. According to the Washington Post, the share of octogenarians in the US workforce has increased from 110,000 in 1980 to 734,000 in 2019.

Radio Silent: Tesla, Ford And More EVs Phase Out AM Radio

Several prominent carmakers have decided for some of their models to drop AM radio from the dashboard. Most of the car models are electric vehicles (EVs). Automobile companies have noted electromagnetic interference with AM radio’s reception created by electric motors.
New EVs manufactured by BMW, Porsche, Audi, Volvo, Ford F-150 Lightning truck, Volkswagen SUV and Tesla Model S have dropped AM radio. Ford announced in March plans to phase out AM radio in most of its new and updated car models, even those with internal combustion engines. Ford will keep AM radio in the Mustang Mach-E. Hyundai, which makes electric vehicles, said in a statement that it had no plans to phase out AM radio.
Today, broadcast radio continues to be the most popular source of in-car entertainment. Furthermore, over 40% of all radio listening is done in cars more than either at work or in the home.
The Backlash
With such a rich background, its wider reach and still listened by tens of millions, the elimination of AM radio has created a backlash from members of Congress, the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), FEMA, AM station owners, political pundits, farmers and listeners.
Senator Ed Markey (D-MA), a member of the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, has been a vocal proponent about keeping AM radio in car dashboards for among other reasons: national security and public safety. Markey says, “Despite innovations such as the smartphone and social media, AM/FM broadcast radio remains the most dependable, cost-free, and accessible communication mechanism for public officials to communicate with the public during times of emergency. As a result, any phaseout of broadcast AM radio could pose a significant communication problem during emergencies.”
The Wall Street Journal reports, seven former FEMA heads sent a letter to Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg writing in part. “Because of the great distances that its signals carry, and due to its resiliency during even the worst natural disasters, the success of the national public warning system – the only method the government has to reach every point of the country at once – hinges on its use of AM radio. However, should EV makers continue removing AM radios from their vehicles, this vital public safety system will no longer function as intended.”
In early April, the NAB launched “Depend on AM Radio” campaign highlighting the significance of in-car AM radio providing local news (including traffic reports), community engagement, entertainment and any important public safety info. The NAB has launched a website and has urged radio stations to remind their listeners on the importance of AM radio via Public Service Announcements (PSAs) and other communication means. Also, ten state broadcasting associations recently created a Dashboard Subcommittee as part of National Alliance of State Broadcasters Associations (NASBA). The goal is to slow or stop the removal of AM radio from the dashboard.
Trade publication Inside Radio, which has written several articles on the topic, reports the National Association of Farm Broadcasting is another group urging automobile makers to keep AM radio in cars. For decades, farmers in rural areas have relied on small AM radio stations for agribusiness information including weather forecasts and commodity prices. An NAFB survey says radio listenership increases during the spring and summer with 75% of farmers listening for five or more days each week. Also, rural areas continue to be more dependent on AM radio since access to wi-fi and broadband is not as widespread.
In response, carmakers have been noted with consumers migrating away from newson radio/TV and government emergency systems should move to other technologies. They also cited FEMA provides recurring emergency alerts via text messages, the Emergency Alert System on radio and television stations, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's weather radio. Additionally they contend, in-car AM radio can be listened to on FM translators, audio streaming and via side channels of HD Radio. AM station owners counter FM translators lack the reach and the internet may not be a dependable source during emergencies…
