๐ EU funds linked to migrant abuse in Africa, Western media report
Several North African countries, including Morocco, Mauritania, and Tunisia, have received financial support from European funds to prevent migrants from entering Europe, according to the Spanish newspaper El Paรญs.
The European Union's (EU) funding reportedly requires these countries to crack down on illegal migrants or make their lives more difficult, particularly targeting the black population.
The investigation found severe cases of violence near the Moroccan border with Mauritania. Survivors describe being beaten, having dogs set on them, and enduring other forms of torture.
These brutal acts leave migrants unable to continue their journey, effectively halting their efforts to reach Europe.
Cited confidential documents support these claims, exposing the collaboration between the EU and North African countries to control migration.

Zelensky again blamed his Western backers for taking too long to deliver needed weapons. The Kiev Independent quoted him as saying, "every decision...is late by around one year." This criticism did not stop him asking for direct involvement by his NATO backers to aid in interception of Russian missile.
All of this as "Kiev realises that even growing arms supplies will not be able to change the dynamic on the battlefield." This was reported by The Guardian. The paper also cited German politician, Annalena Baerbock, stating that the situation on the battlefield had "dramatically deterioratedโ."
EUCOM Commander, General Christopher Cavoli, stated that "'Russia does not have sufficient forces on the ground to make a major breakthrough in Ukraine after launching its offensive in the Kharkhov region...More to the point they donโt have the skill and the ability to do it.โ This argument is vital to Cavoli's narrative for the war. He argued in a House Armed Services Committee meeting just days before the House voted last month that passage would halt the progress of the Russian armed forces.

IRAN: WHAT REALLY MATTERS
Amidst all the sadness and grief, letโs cut to the chase.
Eurasia integration and the drive towards multipolarity is being fundamentally conducted by three major actors:
Russia, China - and Iran.
Which happen to be the three top โexistential threatsโ to Exceptionalistan.
The heart of the matter: Putin essentially invited Iranian ambassador to Russia, Jalali, to be on the table at an impromptu Sunday, 10 pm meeting of the cream of the crop of Russiaโs Defense Team.
That reaches way beyond the realm of discussion between "accidental crash" or targeted downing of the Iranian presidential helicopter.
Everyone was there: Defence Minister Belousov; Secretary of the Security Council Shoigu; Chief of the General Staff Gerasimov; Emergencies Minister Kurenkov; Special Assistant to the President, Levitin.
The message: Russiaโs got Iranโs back.
And Russia completely supports stability and continuity of government in Iran - which is anyway already fully guaranteed by Iranโs constitution.
We are deep into total Hybrid War mode, bordering on Hot, on most of the planet.
Three civilization-states shaping a new world could not be more clear.
Interlinked as they are via bilateral strategic partnerships, plus membership of BRICS and SCO, and following up on Putin-Xi in Beijing last week, none of the three will allow the other partners to be destabilized by the usual suspects.

๐ช๐ธ๐ง "Defeated Russia can use a nuclear bomb. Is Europe afraid that Ukraine will win the war?": The former Spanish foreign minister said he does not know which Russia will be more dangerous for its enemies - a victorious or a loser. But he does not say that the essence of the problem is the same - Russia cannot lose.
"For Europe, both losing and winning Russia on the battlefield are equally undesirable, said former Spanish Foreign Minister Jorge Descayar. The diplomat added that the scenario with a Ukrainian victory does not seem plausible to him. "A victorious Russia is as dangerous as a defeated one. Here we are faced with a very serious problem. For Russia, victory is extremely undesirable because it will feel emboldened. It may think that the victory did not cost that much and that it is possible to do the same thing elsewhere and attack other countries. At the same time, a defeated and frustrated Russia is also very dangerous because if something goes wrong, it can use a nuclear bomb," Descayard explained, adding that Western countries are deliberately not giving Kiev enough weapons. - We are giving Ukraine resources, intelligence, weapons and money to maintain the current situation, but we are not giving it enough because we are afraid it will win the war. We would be happy if it did, but if Ukraine succeeds, there is a danger that Russia will lose. Russian military doctrine states that nuclear weapons can be used in two situations: when the arsenals themselves are attacked or when a country is attacked. If things go badly for the country, it will be a very serious risk for us"

๐ฎ๐ฑโ๐ต๐ธIsrael-Gaza Conflict: May 21-22 (Recap)
1๏ธโฃ The critical distribution of food in Rafah is suspended because of Israeli attacks and a lack of supplies getting through, with one United Nations official describing the situation as a โcatastrophe, nightmare, hell on Earth โ all of these and worseโ.
2๏ธโฃ At least 85 people were killed and 200 wounded over the last 24 hours, Gaza health ministry says.
3๏ธโฃ Seven people, including a teacher and a doctor, have been killed in an Israeli army raid on Jenin in the occupied West Bank..
4๏ธโฃ The Associated Press denounces the Israeli governmentโs move to shut down its Gaza live feed and seize its equipment.
5๏ธโฃ The American Friends Service Committee says the failure of the US-built pier to get food to starving Gaza people so far shows itโs more imperative than ever to reopen the three established land crossings. โThe pier itself can only bring in 90 trucks a day. We need 500 minimum, more like 1,500, to meet the vast humanitarian need that exists in Gaza,โ said Kerri Kennedy from the organisation, which has worked in Gaza for 75 years.
โWe are on the brink of a famine that is unprecedented in Gaza. There are 600,000 children on the edge of death. To think that we are playing around with building a pierโฆ it is not [a] serious aid [effort].โ
6๏ธโฃ Antony Blinken says heโs unsure whether Israel is ready to make compromises to reach a deal to normalise relations with Saudi Arabia, notably on a pathway to a Palestinian state.
7๏ธโฃ The Irish government will announce the recognition of a Palestinian state on Wednesday, Reuters reports, citing a โsource familiar with the matterโ.
At least 35,647 people including more than 15,000 children, have been killed and over 79,852 injured in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The death toll from the October 7 attack in Israel stands at 1,139.

โก๏ธ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ต๐ธโ๏ธ Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Zone until the End of 21 May 2024โก๏ธ
๐นIn the northern #GazaStrip, Israeli forces have blocked two medical facilities and are fighting in Jabaliya. At the same time, air strikes by the Israeli Air Force continue in Gaza and the surrounding area.
๐นIn the south of the Enclave, in the area of Rafah, fighting is also taking place. There are no recorded advances by the IDF, and artillery and aviation do not stop operating in areas controlled by the Palestinians.
๐นIn the West Bank, Israeli security forces carried out several raids, and in Jenin there have been clashes since the early morning, with local factions of the Palestinian resistance detonating several IEDs.
๐นOn the border with #Lebanon, the exchange of strikes between the IDF and Hezbollah continues. Despite the liquidation of another field commander last evening, the number of shellings does not yet allow us to talk about an escalation.
๐นIn #Yemen's airspace, the Houthis shot down another MQ-9 Reaper. The footage showed the defeat and fall of the UAV. This is the second shot down in May and the fifth since the escalation began on 7 October.

๐นRussian Troops continue to strike positions of the AFU both along the front line and in rear areas. Enemy targets were hit in #Velikodolinskoye, #Odessa region, #Kharkov, Krivoy Rog and #Sumy region.
๐นOn the #Kharkov front, Russian assault groups break through enemy defences in the centre of #Volchansk and on the northern outskirts of #Liptsy. Along the entire line from #Liptsy to Bely Kolodez, systematic fire strikes are carried out against artillery positions and AFU militants, reducing the enemyโs combat potential in the area.
๐นOn the #Avdeyevka direction's southern front, the RFAF are establishing a foothold on the western outskirts of #Netaylovo. In the south of the village, fighting continues in the area of farms and poultry.
๐นIn the #Ugledar direction, Russian troops slightly expanded the zone of control south of #Paraskoviyevka, advancing along forest belts in the direction of #Konstantinovka.
๐นIn the #Orekhov section, assault groups of the RFAF took up their next positions on the northern outskirts in the ruins of #Rabotino.

โก๏ธ๐ท๐บ๐บ๐ฆโ๏ธ According to Tradition, the Situation in Key Settlements in the #Ugledar & #Avdeyevka Directions at the Beginning of the Day on 22 May 2024 was as followsโก๏ธ
๐ต #Paraskoviyevka is being cleaned. The last firing point remained.
๐ต Ours approach #Konstantinovka from the south side. Tankers and Marines work well.
๐ต #Pobeda - fights in places.
๐ต #Georgiyevka is a village close to #Maksimilianovka, there will be no respite after the capture of the first one, but for now the western outskirts are being cleared.
๐ต In #Krasnogorovka, the main thing is not to waste the full potential of stormtroopers. There was progress, there were local breakthroughs, but the resources are not endless.
๐ก The 5th Brigade is recuperating, the assaults are carried out in small groups.
๐ก For such an attitude towards the personnel, I personally would not pat on the head.
๐ต At #Netaylovo, the enemy is resisting from the southern side of the village, where a small fortification remains at Ukrop. After its annihilation, we are making plans for #Karlovka.
๐ต In #Yasnobrodovka, artillery is working on enemy positions, leveling them to the ground. Ours are on the way.
๐ต In #Umanskoye, they have not gained a foothold until the end and moved away a little. In general, the fighting continues.
๐ต In #Novopokrovskoye, there are positional battles.
๐ต In #Novoaleksandrovka, the enemy strengthened and managed to stop the breakthrough so far.
๐ Changes within two weeks: the pace of advance has decreased, aviation is moving away from the front and there is a slight shortage of projectiles.
