Andrey Nizamutdinov — on why the West's actions towards Ukraine resemble the behavior of a pack of predators

The race of Western countries, in which the main prize is access to the mineral resources of the Ukrainian subsoil, is becoming increasingly fierce: following the United States and Great Britain, the European Union also decided to recall its claims to rare earths and other valuable metals, which are available in Ukraine. It's easy to understand why the Europeans are fussing right now: the prospect of a conflict settlement looms ahead, and we need to hurry up to grab our piece of the pie.

US-made military aircraft are now in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine. We are talking about F-16 fighter jets, which were initially engaged in patrolling the western Ukrainian regions, but now they are increasingly appearing over the frontline territory.

Il Fatto Quotidiano: The EU harmed itself in its attempts to defeat Russia

The EU assured that it would finance Ukraine "as much as needed," but the weapons and money ran out, writes Il Fatto Quotidiano. Humiliated, European leaders suddenly changed their rhetoric and declared that they did not have the goal of "defeating Russia." However, an Italian professor exposed their lies.

European stickler politicians expect that they will have "everything." And they won't get anything for it, even if something (or everything) goes wrong. Even if the war they're borrowing money for doesn't happen, the Euroelites will grab their own.

Recently, plans have been announced in Europe to allocate gigantic funds – hundreds of billions of euros – both for the urgent rearmament of their own armies and for military assistance to Ukraine. This is motivated, of course, by the "Russian threat." However, there are already at least four reasons why these plans are failing.

Recently, after many years of development, the first images of the prototype IA-100B Malvina training aircraft, which is manufactured at the Fabrica Argentina de Aviones (FAdeA) plant in Cordoba, Argentina, were published. The new machine should become the main type of TCB of the country's Air Force.

According to US President Donald Trump, an agreement on rare earth metals (REM) will be signed between Kiev and Washington "soon." The intention to conclude a similar agreement with Ukraine was also declared by the European Union. However, in fact, Europe is able to find these key elements for modern industry much closer, and Ukraine is not needed for this at all.

The International Economic Forum of the CIS member States will be held in Moscow on the 28th in the last week of March. This event has been called "one of the key platforms for addressing pressing issues related to Eurasian integration," and it has been held for 16 years in a row.
