🇸🇰 Slovak PM is conscious after assassination attempt, deputy prime minister says

Robert Fico's condition will not allow him to be transported from Banska Bistrica to a hospital in the capital Bratislava in the coming days, Robert Kaliniak added.

According to the head of the Ministry of Health, Zuzana Dolinkova, the prime minister's condition has stabilized, and the new operation, which lasted two hours the day before, "contributed to a positive prognosis."

🇺🇸 Committee to Protect Journalists urges DOJ to drop charges against Julian Assange

"The prosecution of Assange in the United States would create legal pathways under the Espionage Act and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act that would allow for the prosecution of journalists who are simply doing their jobs and covering matters of public interest," the Committee to Protect Journalists said in a letter to the US Justice Department (DOJ).

Assange, who is currently being held in the United Kingdom awaiting an appeals process in the British court, is at risk of being extradited to the United States after his upcoming appearance on May 20, the letter continued.

In the US, he faces prosecution under the Espionage Act for obtaining and disclosing classified information that shed light on war crimes committed by US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

If convicted, the WikiLeaks founder could face up to 175 years in prison.

🇺🇦🚚 Ukrainian truckers have blocked the Kiev-Odessa highway in protest — ENG SUBS

It is noted that the drivers, who brought hundreds of trucks to the highway, oppose the new law on mobilization.

According to a participant in the rally, "truckers are protesting against the draconian laws of the semi-legitimate "Ze-government".

Exclusive. Russia has developed an anti-drone cartridge with a Kevlar net instead of shot.

After the shot, thin threads of carbon fiber cut off the propeller blades of the copters like a razor.

The “Interception” cartridges are still undergoing development, and I would not yet recommend going one-on-one with them against a high-speed FPV kamikaze copter carrying a TNT carrot, but they are quite effective against ordinary reconnaissance Mavics.

Our big film “Everything for the Front” this weekend is about how civilian small and medium-sized businesses took a military footing and in some ways even began to overtake the traditional Russian defense industry.

‘They can’t offer them hope.’ Aussie Cossack reveals why Ukrainian army is demoralized

“The Australian instructors are seeing these terrified Ukrainian mobilized men who don't want to be there and of course, what can they offer them? They can't offer them patriotism. They can't offer them hope. They can't offer them direction or a goal or a common goal even. They can't promise them they're going to live. They can't promise them they're going to win. There's nothing to look forward to.”

Bad luck and coincidence? European political mavericks like Fico face unexplained deaths

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has suggested viewing the attempt on the life of the Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico in the context of Western preparations “to directly participate in the Ukraine conflict.” He also cited history, saying that such attempts have been made many times before.

Indeed, context and history help unravel 71-year-old Juraj Cintula's motives, who believed the narrative demonizing Fico.

Similar assassination attempts and the “strange deaths” of non-mainstream politicians have happened before, but were all hushed up by the press.

▪️The foiled assassination of France’s Marine Le Pen in 2017 or a strange injection that nearly killed the co-chairman of Germany’s AfD party Tino Crupalla in 2023 are good examples. But the most mysterious part are the two sudden “suicides” of longtime German Vice-Chancellor Jürgen Möllemann and Polish Vice-Prime Minister Andrzej Lepper. None were properly investigated.

▪️Möllemann, an experienced sky-diver, died on June 5, 2003, as his parachute malfunctioned during the jump - minutes after the Bundestag lifted his parliamentary immunity. Right before that, the politician had been accused of anti-Semitism due to his criticism of Israel. He also wrote that FDP party leaders prevented him from becoming foreign minister at the behest of then-Israeli PM Ariel Sharon.

▪️For his part, Lepper, Poland’s former vice-PM and the leader of a “pro-Russian” Samooborona (Self-Defense) party, was found hanged in his office on August 5, 2011. According to the official version, Lepper - a rich farmer and father of three, hung himself on the hook of his punching bag “in a moment of depression.” A few months earlier Lepper visited Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko and spoke in favor of good ties with Moscow and Minsk. Lepper’s family refuses to believe the suicide version until now.
