A query from CNN's editorial staff and the Wagner Chief's answer:
Good afternoon,
Can you please explain why recruitment in the Russian prison system has ended for Wagner? What is the reason behind this?
Wagner chief Yevgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin's answer:
"After the release of advertising for PMC Wagner, targeted at the American audience, we have received more than 10 million applications from U.S. citizens wishing to join the ranks of the Wagner PMC to fight against NATO.
At the moment, we are considering allowing about one million U.S. citizens to join. So we temporarily suspended the recruitment of volunteers from the Russian prisons, but if there is a corresponding request from the U.S. State Department, we will use (recruit from) the American ones.๐

๐ท๐บNational drone project in the works, to be ready soon โ Putin
The Russian government should soon establish a national project for the development of unmanned aerial vehicles, President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting of the supervisory board of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives.
"The government is to prepare a relevant national project in the near future, the purpose of which is to support opportunities for broad operation of drones and, what is most critical, a high level of localization of their production," the head of state said.
"Unmanned systems are the real catalyst of end-to-end technologies," Putin stressed, highlighting the importance of these technologies for such areas as navigation, communications, energy storage systems, new materials, artificial intelligence, engine production, micro-and macro-electronics.
"We will discuss the results of the great collaborative effort at a special meeting in the spring," the President said.
Putin also urged the Agency, in cooperation with Worldskills Russia, to establish a personnel training system for unmanned aerial vehicles and explore the matter of creating international programs for specialists to be trained for high-tech sectors with the participation of partners in the Eurasian Economic Union and other interested countries. "There are a lot of such countries; many of them want to work with us," Putin added.

"I'll repeat it again, We did not start any hostilities; we are trying to end them," โ Putin.
I want to say again, we didn't start any hostilities; we are trying to end them. These hostilities were started by the nationalists in Ukraine and those who supported them in 2014, when the coup d'รฉtat took place. That's where it all started. That was followed by the events in Crimea and Donbass. And since 2014, in violation of all agreements and in violation of all commitments made, these regions of Donbas have been practically under blockade. They ( Ukrainian military) began to work on them (on Donbass) with heavy military equipment and repeatedly conducted major military operations. They were the ones who started the war back then.

Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas suggested buying weapons for Ukraine according to the "vaccine scheme," the same one on which Ursula von der Leyen stole 71 billion euros, according to an investigation by MEPs.
"It is extremely important that we speed up the provision of military aid to Ukraine. I think we have all looked at what we have in storage, but we have to do more, and we have to send a clear signal to the defense industry in Europe to produce more. I thought we could use a mechanism similar to what was used in the case of vaccines. That is, European countries would allocate money, the European Commission would procure, and then the equipment would be sent directly to Ukraine."

Poland's Deputy Minister of State Assets Maciej Malecki told parliament that Poland still has an existing contract with Russia's Tatneft.
The deal, which expires at the end of 2024, covers "about 10 percent of the needs of (Polish oil company) Orlen," Malecki said.
That means Poland still buys 200,000 tonnes of oil from Russia every month.
According to Malecki, state-owned Orlen "has firmly stated that it will stop buying Russian oil as soon as the EU embargo is imposed.

A group of US congressmen has introduced a resolution demanding that President Biden stop giving aid to Ukraine.
The draft resolution has been registered in the House of Representatives, Fox News has reported.
The author of the resolution is Florida Republican Congressman Matt Getz - the one who did not applaud Wladimir Zelenski in Congress.
"The Ukraine fatigue resolution," introduced by Getz and 10 co-sponsors, calls on the US "to end military and financial aid to Ukraine and calls on all combatants to reach a peace agreement."
The resolution states that since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, the U.S. has been a major contributor to Ukraine's war effort, providing more than $110 billion in financial, military, and humanitarian aid to the ally.
