'Inorganic' - GPS Data Reveals Bernie Sanders, AOC Anti-Oligarchy Rally Was Full Of Serial Protesters1/23/24/25

The Democratic Party launched a full-scale propaganda blitz in a desperate attempt to sway public opinion as its favorability ratings plunged to record lows. True to form, the party of leftist radicals prefers to bend reality—relying on rent-a-protesters or, in this case, inorganic crowds—to create a false perception of popularity. And that's exactly what unfolded on Friday in Denver.

Drone footage shows a large crowd as U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, spoke at Denver's Civic Center. The outspoken socialist wrote on X: "34,000 people out in Denver. Largest political rally there since 2008."

Sanders attempted to explain that the large turnout reflected what voters are saying: "No to authoritarianism. No to oligarchy. No to Trumpism."

However, leftist corporate media failed to fact-check the socialist for misinformation or disinformation. Others did—using a sophisticated algorithm to analyze data from all smartphone devices at the event—and found the numbers were severely overinflated.

Many of the attendees were probably bussed in and had a history of participating in Antifa/BLM, pro-Hamas, and pro-Palestinian protests. The Democratic Party is known for bussing activists through NGO networks to events to fill seats—a tactic repeatedly used throughout Kamala Harris' 2024 presidential campaign trail to create fake hype.

Data analyst Tony Seruga exposed just how staged the latest Democratic Party rally was, revealing their ongoing attempts to manipulate public perception with inorganic crowds made up mainly of DEI activists rather than genuine grassroots supporters:

GPS—Here we go again, there were 20,189 devices. Still a large crowd but not even close to the 30,000 quotedin Denver newspapers nor the 34,000 quoted by Bernie Sanders and AOC.

84% of the devices present had attended 9 or more Kamala Harris rallies, antifa/blm, pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian protests, 31% had attended over 20.

For more insight into what data we also look at in addition to GPS location data would be demographic and psychographic data using over 6,000 different databases, i.e., like the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Pew Research Center, market research firms like YouGov, Experian, specialized tools like ESRI's Tapestry Segmentation, consumer surveys, social media platforms like 𝕏, Facebook, Linkedin.

Demographic data includes basic characteristics like age, gender, income, education level, occupation, marital status, family size, ethnicity, and where people live (e.g., city, state).

Psychographic data dives deeper into people's lifestyles, values, attitudes, interests, personality traits, social class, activities, and how they make purchasing decisions. For example, it might show if someone values sustainability, enjoys outdoor activities, participates in community activism.

While demographic data is straightforward, psychographic data can reveal sensitive personal details, like beliefs even life goals.

Additionally, by cross pollinating each device with other devices regularly within close proximity to the target device we are able to build a detailed profile for each target.

90% of those in the above 84% were likely working with one of these five groups and is the reason for their presence.

Once again, this is based a very sophisticated algorithm that looks at the behavioral metrics for each device, including the physical 1:1 proximity to leaders and paymasters from these groups in the past.

Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project, Troublemakers and the Democratic Socialists of America.

Each receives money from ActBlue and at least three, via USAID.

Disruption Project: Legal status is unclear,likely operating illegally. Rise & Resist: 501c4 non-profit Indivisible Project: 501c4 non-profit Troublemakers: Legal status isfor profit. Democratic Socialists of America: 501c4 non-profit

The timing of the inorganic event—clearly an attempt to sway public opinion—comes just days after the Democratic Party's favorability rating among Americans hit a record low, according to a new CNN poll.

This is also aploy by the imploding party to create momentumin public polling data that's favorablefor Democratsahead of thecolor revolution against Elon Muskthat could begin very shortly. It's the same Dem playbook used withBLM riotsin the 2020s, yet this time around,the NGOs won't have USAID funding to unleash domestic color war operations.

The inorganic production in Denever only suggests that if the game is all about optics, it might be time to counter with rallies in support of 'America First.'

Ukraine Has Secret Nuclear Doomsday Plan, According To Former Zelensky Advisor

BY TYLER DURDEN APR 01, 2025 -

Via Remix News,1/2

Ukraine has a secret last-ditch “scorched earth” plan to render its entire territory uninhabitable in the event of a Russian victory in the war – and perhaps the rest of Europe with it.

This is according to Oleksiy Arestovych, a former adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

In an interview with a Ukrainian journalist that he gave last month, Arestovych claimed that Ukraine’s current head of military intelligence,Kirill Budanov, has floated a plan to blow up all of Ukraine’s nuclear power plants, and possibly some of Russia’s as well, if all other defensive measures fail.

Ukraine currently operates four nuclear power plants with a total of 15 reactors.One of them, the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Station, is the largest plant in Europe and has been under Russian occupation since March 2022. Russia, for its part, has 37 reactors divided among 11 power plants.

If all or even some of these reactors were attacked and destroyed simultaneously,the destructive impact would be beyond calculation. The Chernobyl nuclear accident that occurred in Ukraine in 1986, and which remains the worst disaster involving nuclear energy in history, killed dozens and led to long-term health problems for thousands of others. It also led to the evacuation of tens of thousands of people and rendered the surrounding area permanently uninhabitable, spreading radioactivity over a large area and even into Western Europe.

Moreover, the Chernobyl disaster required the combined resources of the Soviet Union, as well as the assistance it received from other countries, to contain it. In a scenario where several nuclear plants were destroyed simultaneously, it would likely exceed the ability of any nation to bring it under control. The resulting casualties and damage to the environment would therefore be many times worse than what happened in 1986.

Nor would this catastrophe be limited to Ukraine and Russia: Harmful radioactivity would undoubtedly be carried by the atmosphere and spread over the rest of Europe as well.

Arestovych raised the alleged plan in the context of U.S. President Donald Trump’s suggestion that Ukraine’s nuclear reactors should be brought under American control. The White House reported that the president had proposed the idea to Zelensky in a phone call they had last month, arguing that this would offer the “best protection” for the country’s nuclear energy infrastructure.

While some accused the American president of wanting to seize control of Ukraine’s energy resources for his own country’s benefit, Arestovych asserted that the real reason wasthat Washington knows about Budanov’s apocalyptic plan.

He said that the Trump administration sees the Ukrainian government as “apes with a grenade” and wants to “take these dangerous toys out of our control.”

“They know about our plans to blow up all the nuclear power plants if Ukraine starts losing,” Arestovych said. “Budanov was running around with this [idea] a year and a half ago.Blow up everything, the Russian plants we can reach as well as our own, so that nobody gets them.”

The rationale behind this doomsday scenario, the former adviser claimed,is “we all bite the dust, but so will they.” He referred to Zelensky and his senior staff as “a group of deranged people.”

Arestovych furtherstated that American efforts to gain control over Ukraine’s nuclear facilities actually date back to the Biden administration, when such plans were proposed under the guise of scientific research. The U.S. Republicans, he says, prefer a more direct approach.

Arestovych also alluded to the efforts of Ukrainianbanker Oleh Gorokhovsky to raise funds for a nuclear weapons programfor the country following Trump’s explosive clash with Zelensky in the Oval Office last month.His fundraiser brought in more than half a million euros.

Originally a military officer, Arestovych predicted in a video interview that he gave in 2019 that Russia would attack Ukraine between 2020 and 2022, and that the resulting war would be used as a pretext for Ukraine joining NATO. He was appointed as a government advisor on national security and defense in 2020.

Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Arestovych gave daily briefings at the president’s office. In January 2023, he claimed that what the Ukrainian governmentsaid was a deliberate Russian attack on a residential complex was in fact the result of an error by Ukraine’s own air defense forces. This angered many and he resigned from his position the same month.

Arestovych has continued to comment publicly on the war and has been critical of Zelensky’s handling of it. He eventually left Ukraine out of fear of being arrested. He still has a significant social media following, and has said that he will run for president of Ukraine when the next elections are held.

Several attackshave already been launched againstboth Ukrainian and Russian nuclear reactors since the current war began, although fortunately no significant damage has been caused so far. Each side has accused the other of being behind these assaults.

Zelensky exposed: Former advisor reveals how Ukrainian president thinks he is omnipotent

Grzegorz Adamczyk1 year ago

The arrogance of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is causing problems with Kyiv’s allies and he believes that, ashis country is at war, he can do anything, his former adviser has claimed.

In a bombshell interview with Polish news outlet dorzeczy.pl, Oleksyi Arestovych slammed his former boss for his increasingly overbearing behavior and believeshe has fallen victim to delusions of grandeur and a belief that he is all-powerful.

Arestovych cited Zelensky’s response to the ongoing diplomatic conflict over the dumping of Ukrainian grain as an example, accusing the president’s office of“behaving as if it has a decisive voice in the European Union rather than being a country aspiring to join the bloc.”

The former adviser, who himself is a possible candidate in any future Ukrainian presidential election, expressed his fear that Zelensky “has become deluded into thinking he now rules the globe.”

His diplomacy concentrates onmaking demands and using moral blackmailto claim Ukraine is fighting for the West, said Arestovych, who claimed this tactic may have been successful at the beginning of the conflict but is no longer effective.

“The West is increasingly irritated by Ukraine’s arrogance,” he added.

Arestovych claimed that Zelensky’s behavior had led to tension among Kyiv’s closest allies including Poland and Romania, while its relations with the U.S. and the U.K. have also cooled.

The West will continue to support Ukraine because it is in the West’s own interests to do so, but it may well stop supporting the current Ukrainian government and back an alternative, he warned.

However, Arestovych was dismissive of the argument that Ukraine was colluding with Germany against Poland, claiming that this is only purely due to the fact thatUkraine has no clear foreign policy under Zelensky.

Ukraine wants Germany to be a counter-balance to Russia and that is why Ukraine backs its ambitions of securing a permanent seat in the UN Security Council, the former advisor told the Polish news outlet.

Arestovych admitted that Poland could have gotten more out of Ukraine on issues related to the Volhynia massacre by pursuing a more transactional policy towards the country, but that would not have been beneficial to it in the longer term. “Even if Zelensky is ungrateful for all the help selflessly offered by Poland, Ukrainian people are grateful and that will be more important in the longer term,” he assured.

Turning to the ongoing conflict, Arestovych praised the recent Ukrainian counteroffensive, which he claimed had succeeded in hurting Russian forces, but conceded it hadnot resulted in significant territorial gains and had come at the price of heavy Ukrainian casualties. He called for Ukraine to now dig in for the winter in anticipation of a lull in Western assistance and warned that the Ukrainian economy is incapable of sustaining the current costs of the war.

The Ukrainian expressed his desire for his country and Poland to set up a joint grain exchange in order to resolve the ongoing spat over grain exports; he also claimed thatUkraine should unblock exhumations of Polish victims in Volhynia, calling it a scandal thatGermany is allowed to exhume Wehrmacht soldiers on Ukrainian soil while Poles are blocked.==

He also favored a close security alliance between Ukraine in Poland arguing that the two countries together would be capable of giving security to Europe because of the size of their armies, but he clarified that this would only be possible after Ukraine had won its war with Russia….

He acknowledged that Ukrainian moves, such as the signing of the Istanbul convention with its gender ideology and having a trans person as spokesman for the territorial army, have put off conservative opinion in the U.S. He also said that Ukraine is highly religious, with 78 percent declaring a belief in God.

Arestovych expressed a willingness to open a dialogue with Russia’s opposition and reminded that there are millions of Russian speakers in Ukraine whom the country should not aim to alienate.

Arestovych, then the advisor of Zelensky, argued in 2019 that Russia would have to invade Ukraine (with 99.9% certainty) to prevent NATO expansion, and this would be an opportunity to collectively defeat Russia: "Our price for joining NATO is a big war with Russia"

‘Zelensky will resign’ – Former advisor to the president of Ukraine warns Ukraine could collapse after the war

Zelensky’s time is nearly up, says a former close advisor to Zelensky,but elections could also result in chaos and a collapse of Ukraine

LAST UPDATED: MARCH 18, 2025

Former advisor to the President of Ukraine Oleksiy Arestovych says he is confident that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will soon resign,which will occur after a ceasefire agreement is signed.

Arestovych shared his theories about the future of the current government in Ukraine on the YouTube channel of journalist Vasily Golovanov. In his opinion, Zelensky will not seek another year as president.

“Today, the well-known formula looks like this: Zelensky will voluntarily resign at some stage after a ceasefire,” he argued.

As the former adviser added, Zelensky will not survive beyond the election campaign, which is supposed to take place after martial law is lifted in the country. When this moment will come depends on the peace talks.

Arestovych argues that Ukraine will then undergo major political changes. In his opinion, the end of the war will benefit, among others, the military and nationalists, who will want to hold the current government accountable, and the presidential campaign will be very emotional.

“It is possible that this process will become chaotic, which no one can afford,as it will lead to the collapse of the entire, painstakingly built structure,” he said.

What will Ukraine look like after the war?

Arestovych noted that the political chaos in Ukraine would constitute a serious problem for the security system of the entire Eastern Europe.

For his part, during the election campaign,he would propose the establishment of a technical government, whose task would include updating the laws on elections. Arestovych argues that the current norms may not work due to the huge outflow of Ukrainian people to Western countries, as well as the fact that some citizens will end up in Russian-occupied territories and will not be able to vote.

“How long it will last is unknown, the position of the parties will show. If the U.S. puts pressure on it, it will happen as soon as possible.It may take up to three months. If not, we will do everything in order and prepare calmly; it may be six or eight months, but most likely this year,” he concluded.

Trump wants US ownership of Ukraine’s energy facilities – White House

The president has told Vladimir Zelensky it would be the best way to protect the country’s power plants

US President Donald Trump proposed an American takeover of Ukraine’s power plants during a phone call with Vladimir Zelensky, suggesting it would be the best way to protect the infrastructure, the White House has said.

The Ukrainian leader later insisted that he only spoke about the Russian-held Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) with Trump – not the whole Ukrainian power generating industry.

The US president held a phone conversation with Zelensky on Wednesday, describing it as a “very good” discussion.

Shortly after the call, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz issued a statement, saying that“President Trump also discussed Ukraine’s electrical supply and nuclear power plants. He said that the US could be very helpful in running those plants with its electricity and utility expertise.”

“American ownership of those plants would be the best protection for that infrastructureand support for Ukrainian energy infrastructure,” it read..

https://www.rt.com/news/614513-us-ukrainian-energy-takeover/

Plus shortly after the 2nd ceasefire, I think March 18, Zelensky and Kiev attacked the nuclear power plant Russia controls. Ukraine has been attacking that power plant from the beginning, they have perm UN inspectors there since 2022.

So is the US going to have to go into Ukraine and arrest everyone in leadership that can cause nuclear explosions, this will not just effect Europe but the whole world?

Budanov’s pic attached, he definitely looks deranged and psycho enough to blow up Europe, etc. I hope he wasn’t at the peace negotiations

Ukraine had plans to blow up nuclear plants – ex-Zelensky aide

The US sees the country’s leadership as “apes with a grenade,” and wants to take over the facilities to offset the risks, Aleksey Arestovich has claimed

Ukraine’s military intelligence chief Kirill Budanov proposed blowing up nuclear power plants to deny them to Russia if Kiev started losing in the conflict, Aleksey Arestovich, a former aide to Vladimir Zelensky, has claimed.

In an interview with journalist Alexandr Shelest on Friday, Arestovich weighed in on remarks by US President Donald Trump, who suggested that American ownership of Ukrainian nuclear power plants “could be the best protection for that infrastructure.”

According to Arestovich, the US is trying to prevent a nuclear catastrophe rather than simply seizing the facilities for its own benefit.

“They know about our plans to blow up all the nuclear power plants if Ukraine starts losing,”Arestovich claim. “Budanov was running around with that [idea] a year and a half ago. To blow up everything: the Russian plants we can reach, and our own — so nobody gets them… On the principle: we all bite the dust, but so will they.”

According to the ex-adviser, the US perceives the current Ukrainian leadership “as apes with a grenade.” “They just want to take dangerous toys under their control.”

Arestovich went on to suggest that the Democrats in the US would have tried to do the same, but through backroom pressure, whereas the Trump administration is acting in a much more straightforward and blunt manner. “These guys are simple. They say: ‘Let’s do it this way, we’ll just take control [over the plants] and that’s it.”

Trump said that he first floated the idea of taking over the nuclear plants during a phone call with Zelensky earlier this week, claiming that Washington could be “very helpful in running those plants with its electricity and utility expertise.”

Zelensky, however, offered a different version of events. He claimed that the two only spoke about the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) – not the Ukrainian power generating industry in its entirety, and that the conversation revolved around potential American investment.

ZNPP, the largest facility of its kind in Europe, has beenunder Russian control since March 2022.In the fall of 2022, Zaporozhye Region, along with three other regions, voted to join Russia in a public referendum.

Russia has repeatedly accused Ukraine of targeting both the ZNPP and Kursk nuclear power plants, denouncing those attacksas “nuclear terrorism.” Kiev, in turn, insists that the attacks on the ZNPP have been carried out by Russia, and has denied targeting the Kursk NPP.

Zelensky issues warning about Europe’s largest nuclear plant

The Zaporozhye facility has been under Russian control since March 2022

Russia’s Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) cannot exist unless it is controlled by Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky has claimed. The facility, the largest of its kind in Europe, has been under Moscow’s control since March 2022.

Zaporozhye Region, where the plant is located, voted to join Russia in a referendum, following years of targeting ethnic Russians in Ukraine. Since then both Moscow and Kiev have accused each other of attacking the facility and endangering its security. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) deployed a monitoring mission to the ZNPP in September 2022, which has been present on the ground ever since.

According to Zelensky, the station poses a problem to both Russia and Ukraine, but in his view,only Kiev can restore its operations. “Without Ukraine, its existence is impossible in principle,”the Ukrainian leader claimed.

He went on to say that “money and specialists”are needed to restore the power plant and it would take a few years before it can be operational again, adding that the station lacks technical water to cool its reactors because of the collapse of the Kakhovka Dam on the Dnieper River. Repairs at the station would involve “lots of capital-intensive processes,” Zelensky said.

“This is our station. Lost money, lost opportunities.”

The power plant has been largely dormant since mid-2023, due to the threat of Ukrainian artillery and drone attacks and the disruption of water supplies. Speaking at a plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum in September 2024, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned of “very dangerous terrorist acts” perpetrated by Kiev’s forces against the facility.

In January, the Russian Defense Ministry stated that Ukrainian forces=had sought to strike the station with eight drones. All of the unmanned aerial vehicles were shot down by the Russian air defenses at that time.

The ZNPP is currently controlled by a subsidiary of the Russian state energy corporation, Rosatom. CEO Ramil Galiev stated in December that the company plans to restore the plant’s operation as soon as its security is sufficiently ensured. The plans also involve building a new pumping system to refill the technical water reservoirs near the station.

“There are no unresolvable issues,” Galiev said in December.

Ceasefire possible this year – Ukraine’s top spy

The effectiveness of a potential truce is uncertain, but peacekeepers are unlikely to guarantee Kiev’s security, Kirill Budanov has said

A ceasefire in Ukraine could be reached this year despite the “diametrically opposed” positions of both sides, the country’s top military spy, Kirill Budanov, has claimed.

While hostilities could be halted, peacekeepers are unlikely to serve as a reliable security guarantee, Budanov, the chief of the Main Directorate of Intelligence (HUR), stated on Thursday. He added that he could not recall a single conflict in which the deployment of peacekeepers has proven effective. Several NATO members have declared their willingness to send troops to a post-wear Ukraine, though Moscow has dismissed the possibility outright.

Budanov’s remarks followed high-level US-Russia talks in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, on Tuesday, which centered on restoring relations and exploring potential peace talks. Ukraine and the EU had no representation at the meeting, with Kiev insisting it would not recognize any outcome without its involvement.

“This is a paradoxical situation: despite the diametrically opposed starting positions of both sides, I believe that we will reach a ceasefire this year.How long it will last and how effective it will be is another question,” Budanov told Hromadske news outlet on Thursday. (Says the man that wants to blow up all five plants in Ukraine if they don’t win.)

Last month, media reports suggested that Budanov said a during a closed-door meeting in parliament that Ukraine might not survive unless negotiations with Russia begin by this summer. The HUR has refuted the claims, saying the purported statements were false and taken out of context.

According to Budanov, there is no framework, other than NATO membership, that can be considered a true security guarantee for Ukraine. In his view, all other options should be regarded merely as “commitments to support.”

Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky earlier suggested that at least 200,000 foreign troops would be needed for a sufficient security guarantee. However, European NATO allies are reportedly considering a much smaller force – an approach that, in Zelensky’s words, would amount to “nothing.”

Meanwhile, theUS has ruled out any involvement of its military or NATO as an organization in any potential peacekeeping arrangement.

The Russian Foreign Ministry had previously warned that Moscow views any European peacekeeping contingent in Ukraine as a provocative step that could further escalate the conflict.

Moscow has also insisted that any peace settlement must address the root causes of the conflict, including Ukraine’s aspirations to join NATO. Ukraine must renounce its plans to join the military bloc and abandon its claims to Crimea, as well as four other regions that are now part of Russia. The formerly Ukrainian regions of Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, and Zaporozhye joined Russia following a series of referendums in 2022. Crimea previously voted to join Russia in 2014.

Ukrainian drone strikes passenger bus – Donbass officials

At least 16 passengers sustained injuries in the attack, according to the mayor of the city of Gorlovka

At least 16 people were injured in the Russian frontline city of Gorlovka when a Ukrainian kamikaze drone struck a bus early on Tuesday morning, Mayor Ivan Prikhodko has reported.

The incident marks the latest assault on the beleaguered residents of the city, which is located in Russia's Donetsk People’s Republic. The mayor took to social media to share images showing the destruction.

The Russian Investigative Committee stated that Ukrainian forces deployed a kamikaze drone to target a bus near a central stop. The strike also caused damage to a nearby administrative building, the law enforcement agency added, describing the event as attempted murder.

Local health officials reported that five of the victims are currently in serious condition at local hospitals.

A regional watchdog that regularly posts updates on Ukrainian strikes in Donbass reported that several artillery shells landed in Gorlovka on the same day.

A similar drone strike targeted a passenger bus near Gorlovka in mid-March.

Last week, Rodion Miroshnik, the Russian Foreign Ministry’s ambassador-at-large overseeing investigations into alleged war crimes, highlighted a rising number of civilian casualties resulting from Ukrainian attacks on vulnerable locations such as Gorlovka. He suggested that this trend, occurring amid US-backed discussions for a peaceful resolution to the conflict,indicates Kiev’s intent to obstruct mediation efforts.

The administration of President Donald Trump is advocating for a negotiated ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia as part of its strategy to normalize relations with Moscow. While the Russian government has welcomed this shift in Washington’s stance, it has expressed deep skepticism toward the Ukrainian authorities, claiming that Kiev is not engaging in negotiations in good faith.

Kiev ramping up attacks on Russian civilians – senior diplomat

Sixteen people have been killed and 134 injured in Ukrainian strikes over the past week alone, Rodion Miroshnik has said

Ukraine has stepped up its attacks on Russian civilians in frontline and border regions,resulting in over 150 casualties in the past week alone, Rodion Miroshnik, the Russian Foreign Ministry’s ambassador-at-large tasked with tracking Kiev’s war crimes, has said. This comes amid ongoing Russia-US efforts to settle the Ukraine conflict.

In a statement posted on Telegram on Tuesday, Miroshnikaccused Kiev of attacking civilian targets “in the midst of talks about the desire for a peaceful settlement.”He stated that from March 17 to 23, 16 civilians were killed and 134 were injured in Ukrainian attacks.

The bulk of the casualties were recorded in the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, and the regions of Belgorod, Kursk, and Kherson, he added, claiming that over the week, Ukraine fired almost 2,000 munitions of various kinds at civilian targets.

He also provided examples of the most devastating attacks,including a strike in the village of Gorlovka in Donbass which injured 12 civilians. According to Miroshnik, the strike used cluster munitions, which are banned in more than 100 countries. Ukraine is not a signatory to the treaty that bars their use.

Another reported incidentwas a drone attack in the village of Chubarevkain Russia’s Zaporozhye Region, which killed a paramedic, he added. While most of the attacks targeted border and frontline regions, one UAV strikehit targets in Russia’s Saratov Region – hundreds of kilometers from the battlefield– and injured ten civilians, Miroshnik said.

Russia has accused Ukraine of targeting civilians throughout the conflict, especially in regions near the border. Miroshnik’s comments come as Russia and the US are engaging in diplomacy to explore options for settling the conflict.

As part of the process, Moscow agreed to a 30-day ceasefire on strikes targeting energy infrastructure after a phone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart, Donald Trump, last week. Russian officials, however, have saidUkraine violated the agreement almost immediately by targeting oil infrastructure in several locations.

Moscow weighs in on US approach to resolving Ukraine conflict

Washington’s ceasefire plan does not address the roots of the hostilities, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov has said

Moscow has not heard any signals from the US urging Ukraine to end the conflict with Russia, but is taking Washington’s peace proposals seriously, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov has said.

Russia and the US have been engaged in talks over the Ukraine conflict, following repeated claims by US President Donald Trump that he intends to end the hostilities as soon as possible.

Ryabkov, however, told International Affairs magazine in an interview published on Tuesday that “we haven’t heard any signal from Trump to Kiev about ending the war.”

“What we see so far is an attempt to devise a framework that would first lead to a ceasefire, as envisioned by the Americans, and then move on to other models and schemes,” the diplomat added.

Ryabkov said that the plans so far fail to address Moscow’s core demand ofresolving the root causes of the conflict. “That aspect is completely missing, and it needs to be overcome,” he stated.

Russia has maintained that it is open to peace talks, provided its key security demands are addressed. Moscow opposes any NATO presence on Ukrainian soil and has demanded that Kiev demilitarize, denazify, adhere to a position of neutrality, and recognize the territorial “realities on the ground.”A true settlement of the conflict requires a permanent and legally-binding solution, Moscow has insisted.

Russia is “seriously” considering the proposalsput forward by Washington,but “cannot accept them as-is,”according to the deputy foreign minister.

“We have our own thoroughly considered set of priorities and approaches to this issue, which has been and continues to be developed – including by our negotiating team during recent talks with the Americans in Riyadh,” Ryabkov said.

Last month, Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed a potential ceasefire and agreed to a 30-day pause by Moscow and Kiev on strikes targeting energy infrastructure. Additional negotiations between Russian and US delegations took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia the following week.

Russia has since accused Ukraine of violating the deal on numerous occasions. Moscow has signaled that it plans to adhere to the moratorium but warned of a potential symmetrical response to Kiev if it continues to breach the agreement.

Germany announces more military aid for Ukraine

Berlin will provide Kiev with anadditional $12 billion over the next four years, Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has said

(Do they expect or want the war to go on four more years? Baerbock is a worse war hawk and Russia hater than all the men)

Germany will provide an extra €11.25 billion ($12 billion) in military aid for Ukraine, Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock announced during a surprise visit to Kiev on Tuesday.Berlin will continue to back Ukraine “without any ifs or buts,” regardless of the upcoming change of German government, the diplomat said.

Germany is Ukraine’s second-largest military donor after the US.It is expected to have a new coalition government of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), Christian Social Union (CSU), and Social Democrats (SPD), with CDU leader Friedrich Merz as the likely chancellor. Merz, a proponent of further aid for Kiev, previously said he aims to have the new government in place by Easter on April 20.

In a statement on the Foreign Ministry’s website, Baerbock announced “the decision of the current and future governing parties” to provide an additional €3 billion in short-term support for Ukraine and earmark €8.25 billion in military aid through 2029. Berlin will also immediately release €130 million in “humanitarian assistance and stabilization funds” for Ukraine, Baerbock added.

“It is absolutely pivotal for us Europeans to show that we stand alongside Ukraine… That is one reason why I have come to Ukraine today,” the minister stated. Germany has already provided roughly €11 billion in aid for Ukraine between January 2022 and October 2024, according to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy. (There is something really wrong with the Europeans)

The US, which is Ukraine’s biggest donor in the conflict with Russia, has meanwhile shifted its stance under President Donald Trump, who has demanded that Kiev pay back aid already provided.

Amid an apparent thaw in relations since Trump’s return to office, Moscow and Washington have been working on a potential diplomatic settlement of the conflict. The two sides have made progress with a partial ceasefire agreement despite the Russian government’s skepticism toward the authorities in Kiev.

Baerbock claimed that “Ukraine is ready and willing to observe an immediate ceasefire,” andaccused Russian President Vladimir Putin of blocking the peace process. Russian officials, however, have reported numerous Ukrainian violations of the agreement by targeting oil infrastructure in several locations. Moscow has also consistently accused the West of prolonging the conflict by funding Kiev’s war effort.

China calls for ‘fair and binding’ Ukraine peace deal

Foreign Minister Wang Yi has said further efforts should focus on eliminating the root causes of the conflict

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has called for a fair, lasting, and binding peace agreement to end the Ukraine conflict,urging all parties to work toward a negotiated settlement. In an interview with RIA Novosti released on Tuesday, during a three-day visit to Moscow, Wang said that the root causes of the conflict need to be eliminated.

Kiev’s NATO ambitions were among the main reasons for the conflict, and Moscow has insisted upon Ukrainian neutrality along with demilitarization and denazification as settlement keystones.

“We advocate the eradication of the causes of the crisis through dialogue and negotiations, and ultimately the achievement of a fair, long-term, binding peace agreement acceptable to all parties involved,” Wang said in the interview. “This would make it possible to achieve truly lasting peace and stability in Eurasia and throughout the world.”

On MondayUS President Donald Trump echoed the position, dismissing Ukraine’s NATO membership ambitions, saying Kiev “is never going to be a member” of the military bloc.

Wang acknowledged that the “causes of the crisis are extremely complex” and that Kiev and Moscow have so far failed to find common ground on a number of key issues, but noted thatthere is “a tendency towards peace negotiations,” which Beijing finds encouraging.

“The path to restoring peace is long [but] certain results have been achieved,” he said, referring to the recent Russia-US diplomatic rapprochement and the initial progress toward a political settlement with a partial ceasefire agreement.

“A step towards peace, although not that big, is constructive – it is worth taking. You can’t get peace lying down, you have to achieve it by hard work,” he said, adding that the thaw in Russia-US relations “inspires optimism in the disappointing international situation.”

Wang arrived in Moscow on Sunday for a three-day official visit at the invitation of Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov also revealed that President Vladimir Putin is expected to met with Wang.

NATO will ‘survive’ Trump – EU’s top diplomat

The US president earlier threatened not to defend the bloc unless it drastically increases defense spending

NATO will remain intact despite pressure from US President Donald Trump, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has said. She warned, however, that some member states must be ready to make difficult choices to meet the required level of defense spending.

In an interview with Spanish daily El Mundo on Monday, Kallas was asked whether “NATO [will] survive Trump’s term.” “I’m sure. It’s a strong alliance that’s alive and well”, she replied, adding that member nations have committed to spending at least 2% of GDP on defense by 2024 – a threshold that a significant portion of the bloc has yet to reach.

“I hear the problems some countries are having, but I also think it’s illusory to get out of this situation without making difficult and unpopular decisions,” she said, citing her tenure as prime minister of Estonia during which the country raised taxes. (She Westernized and ruined Estonia, they don’t like the EU and NATO)

Pressed on why the EU does not propose direct subsidies for those lagging behind in defense spending, Kallas stated that the bloc must balance the interests of highly indebted countries and those that contribute the most to the EU budget. To address this, the EU has instituted “relief measures in the fiscal rules to give member states more room to operate,”which could give countries a number of options to increase spending, she added.

Since his first term, Trump has been pushing European NATO members to spend more on their own defense. While the bloc’s members agreed to reach a 2% threshold, in February, the US president suggested that NATO members should consider spending as much as 5% of GDP on defense. Last month, he warned: “if they don’t pay, I’m not going to defend them.”

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has said Trump was right to demand that European members step up defense spending.

NATO leaders have insisted that the hike in military expenditure is aimed at deterring Russia amid the Ukraine conflict. Some officials have suggested that Moscow could launch a full-scale attack on the US-led bloc within a few years.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has dismissed the speculation as “nonsense,” arguing that Moscow has no interest in doing so.
