Ukrainian serviceman who defected to Russia has handed over to RIA Novosti footage made at the military base in the UK, where British instructors were training Ukrainian soldiers for an incursion in the Russian Kursk Region.

The training was held at the base in the Downholme village, 4 miles from Richmond in Yorkshire. @LauraRuHK

BBC's Steve Rosenberg appears surprised Lukashenko is not his biggest fan - "what nasty question do you have in store for me?"

Russian media is of course banned in Britain, but Rosenberg appears to feel quite at home among industry colleagues in Belarus.

We've already heard "last dictator of Europe" jabs, let's see what virtue signaling article he comes up with as Lukashenko heads into his 7th term.

BREAKING Belarus’s Lukashenko chastises Western liberals on Trump & says his arrival has shaken Europe, with his stance on issues like NATO funding and money to Ukraine.

He also stated there will be some kind of “resolution” to the conflict in Ukraine this year.

(As I said, the era of normalization).

Putin awards veterans with jubilee medals '80 Years of Victory' at the 81st anniversary of the complete liberation of Leningrad

That means the remaining veterans were likely under 20 years old during the defense of Leningrad.

WHITNEY WEBB ON X:

It is a provable fake out and what the banking cartel has been asking for. Trump's executive order is all about dollar stablecoins being used to extend dollar hegemony and dollar stablecoins are just as programmable, surveillable and seizable as a CBDC, the only difference is that the central bank isn't issuing them directly and it maintains the 2-tier banking system, which is what Wall Street has been lobbying for once digital dollar discussions began in earnest.

In the US, mass surveillance is a public-private partnership, why would surveillable digital money be any different?

Kudos to @markgoodw_in who called that the dollar stablecoins would be the de facto CBDC several years ago.

If you Ian or anyone else reading this is interested, Mark and I dissected why the CBDC was being moved to the private sector in the US in December 2023 in this article (notably this very stablecoin play was a key aspect of the FTX scandal):

Turnouts at pro Ukrainian actions are getting smaller in Poland ‐ it's a sorry sight...

Perhaps it's starting to sink in things aren't so black and white? Or blue and yellow.

China has also lifted 800 million out of poverty in the last 40 years.

Over the past 8 years, China lifted approximately 10 million people - roughly the size of the entire population of Sweden - out of poverty each year.

Is the West doing things in reverse?

This is the most important clip you will see today.

Press Sec., Karoline Leavitt, announces the Trump White House will be giving press passes to independent journalists, podcasters, social media influencers, etc.

This is a death knell for the archaic MSM.

It's one thing to be uninterested in world affairs, but when you're a broadcaster and you're in it up to your eyeballs daily, is this level of ignorance intentional?

Piers Morgan asserts NATO acted defensively in Yugoslavia.
