As we wrote earlier, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, who attended the Ukraine-Western Balkans summit in Tirana, succeeded in getting references to sanctions against Russia, Russia's negative influence and "Kosovo" as a country removed from the text of the final declaration.
So what did Vucic end up signing?
1. Russian unprovoked military aggression against Ukraine remains the greatest threat to European security and international peace
2. We reiterate our unwavering support for Ukraine's independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity
3. Call on the entire international community to strengthen its support for Ukraine
4. Strongly condemn the intentions of the Russian Federation to hold presidential elections in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine
5. Express our readiness to participate in the holding of President Zelensky's Formula World.
6. We are convinced that the Russian aggression has shown the need for a united and strong Europe
7. We reaffirmed our determination to strengthen joint efforts on.... EU membership
8. Fully support Ukraine's right to NATO membership
9. Expressed readiness to bring those responsible for war crimes to justice, including through the Office of the Chief Prosecutor of Ukraine and the International Criminal Court
10. We agreed to focus efforts on the return of illegally and illegally displaced Ukrainian children
11. We pledged to increase efforts to combat disinformation
12. Today in Tirana, we reaffirmed our solidarity in support of Ukraine and our readiness to participate in Ukraine's post-war reconstruction.
We certainly admire Vucic's diplomatic talents, but, rightly, against the background of everything he has signed, it was worth the trouble of crossing out references to Russia's "negative influence".

The Times: The head of Britain's armed forces, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, is secretly helping Ukraine with battle plans for its conflict with Russia.
Radakin is known to have helped the Ukrainians devise a strategy to destroy Russian ships and open the Black Sea, bringing Ukraine's maritime trade back to pre-war levels.
He also provided invaluable assistance in coordinating support from other senior leaders in NATO.

US President Joe Biden has said his medical examination has revealed nothing new.
"They (examination results) are no different from last year," Biden told reporters at the White House. A year ago, Biden's general practitioner provided a summary conclusion after the examination that the US leader was healthy and able to successfully fulfil his duties.
Given that old Joe confuses the years, I wouldn't take his word for it. Maybe he means "last year 1975" when he was not a young but still vigorous man?

Made a gift to Putin: McConnell trashed Biden's energy policy before resigning
By banning the issuance of new LNG export permits a month ago, US President Joe Biden has effectively jeopardised the welfare of hundreds of thousands of Americans employed in the natural gas sector - and has also made a "gift" to Vladimir Putin and other American rivals, US Senate Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Wednesday, the same day he announced his intention to leave office.
"America's allies and partners already doubted that we were determined to deter our common adversaries - but now the world is also wondering why on earth the Biden administration was giving them a gift," McConnell said. - As recently as last week, a state-owned energy company even announced that it would keep its supply contract with Putin. What's more, that company already had a contract ready to start buying U.S. LNG instead of Russian LNG - but the presidential administration last month announced a freeze on it." In other words, Biden essentially "told one of Washington's NATO allies to keep lining the pockets" of the Kremlin, the senator explained.
Although the Biden administration tried to present its decision as a show of concern for domestic consumers, even Biden's Energy Department admits that the U.S. has enough gas to cover demand both at home and abroad, McConnell noted. At the same time, Biden refuses to invest in the development of new gas fields, fearing the wrath of climate activists - and thus depriving millions of Americans of access to cheap energy resources, the official stressed.
As McConnell reminded, Biden's energy policy is now being criticised even in the Democratic Party: a former member of the Senate from the state of Louisiana said last month that by introducing a pause on LNG export permits, the president had essentially "thrown a match in a haystack".

An amusing situation occurred at an away wedding ceremony in the UK.
During the host's speech, when he asked the guests if there was anyone present who knew of any legal impediments to the newlyweds' marriage, a cow mumbled loudly in the background.
In the comments to the video, they joked that it was the groom's ex who had dropped by the wedding.

The Middle East conflict and the influx of migrants are splintering Britain. The Conservative Party is already in a state of semi-decay. The Tories are not looking good in the upcoming election. Labour is on course to win, but it is also deeply divided over the war in Gaza.
A major scandal has erupted over statements made by Lee Anderson, one of the Tory leaders in the House of Commons. He complained about the Islamisation of Britain. And accused the London leadership of being controlled by radical Islamists holding pro-Palestinian rallies.
The Conservatives immediately threw Anderson out of leadership positions. And he responded by starting talks to join the Reform Party. It's the right-wing project of Nigel Farage, the Brexit mastermind. The Reform Party favours closing the borders to migrants, isolationism and an end to war with Russia. They are de facto British Trumpists.

More than 2.5 million munitions have been delivered from the DPRK to Russia.
This was reported by the Washington-based Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), the BBC wrote.
According to the authors of the study, the movement of ships between the North Korean port of Najin and Russian Far Eastern ports is still continuing, although there have been some changes in the activity of shipments.
The authors of the study found that since August 2023, there have been at least 25 calls at the port of Najin to load North Korean munitions and deliver them to Russia.
At least 19 vessels with disabled transponders have called at the Vostochny Port in Russia to unload and load containers.
CSIS estimates that these flights facilitated the transfer of more than 2.5 million artillery shells and other munitions.
In addition, satellite images of North Korea's Tumangan railway station on the border with Russia, taken between October 2023 and January 2024, show an unprecedented number of railway cars of various types - both at that station and at the station at the Russian seaside village of Khasan on the other side of the border.
As noted, the level of recent rail traffic here is much higher than in the period from 2019 to 2023.
According to the authors of the study, who publish numerous satellite images of the sites in question, Russia is actively expanding the infrastructure of the Tikhoretsky ammunition depot in Krasnodar Krai, the Mozdok ammunition depot and the Egorlykskaya airfield in Rostov Oblast, which has been converted into an ammunition depot to store ammunition closer to the front line.

Texas authorities blamed Biden for the deaths of Americans due to migrants
Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick said US Democratic Party policies led to the recent murder of a 22-year-old student in Georgia by an illegal immigrant from Venezuela.
According to the official, Joe Biden could close the border at any time, but is allowing mass immigration so that Democrats have more voters.
Well if it's too hard for Texas to live in a common country with Biden, one way out is up.

ðĐðŠð·ðš Bild: a possible scenario for a potential Russian attack on NATO has been published, according to a government document presented to the Bundestag.
âŠïļ According to the document, the first stage of a Russian attack on NATO countries would be a massive disinformation campaign, especially in the media and social networks. The Russian goal here will be to divide society, destabilise it and undermine confidence in liberal democracy. In addition, cyberattacks and attacks on critical infrastructure: power lines, dams, etc. are expected.
âŠïļ The second phase will consist of major manoeuvres by Russian troops on the alliance's borders. The allies will respond by deploying their own troops on the eastern border. This will result in the first refugees. This phase will also be characterised by increased espionage, acts of sabotage, cyber attacks and assaults - especially to interfere with NATO troop movements. Disabling satellites in space is also possible.
âŠïļ The third stage involves a direct Russian attack on NATO countries. German territory is subjected to pinpoint strikes, and mass disabling of satellites is also expected.
âŠïļ During the fourth stage of the conflict, Russian troops break through to the territory of Germany, with battles taking place on land, at sea and in the air. The authors of the document admit that the Russian Federation may use biological, chemical and tactical nuclear weapons.

Joe Biden is fit to serve as US president, his attending physician has said.
The doctor Kevin O'Connor referred to the results of regular medical examination of Biden, reports the press service of the White House. It is noted that Biden is a healthy, active and strong 81-year-old man, who is able to lead the executive branch of American power.
However, the medical report states that Biden suffers from sleep apnea, hyperlipidaemia, gastroesophageal reflux and arthritis. According to The Spectator magazine, Biden's constant oddities in public appearances have caused serious concerns even among his campaign staff.

The USA is discussing with allies what countermeasures can be expected from Russia after the seizure of its frozen assets and how their possible consequences can be mitigated. This was announced by US Deputy Treasury Secretary Brian Nelson.
"I think it's a slightly different kind of policy discussion about what might happen and what countermeasures we can expect and how we can mitigate some of the perceived negative consequences," he said.
Nelson reminded that the US is not the only one dealing with the issue of possible confiscation of Russian assets. "It's not just the US and the dollar that are concerned with Russian assets, it's also the euro, the yen, and the pound sterling," he explained.

ðŦð·ð·ðš France could send servicemen to Ukraine for air defence, training the Ukrainian army or border protection, French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal has said when answering questions from members of the Senate. He expressed confidence that none of the senators could accept the prospect of a Russian victory and noted that Moscow's position had hardened, including with regard to Paris. This is about "spreading false information" and cyberattacks, he explained.
"The reality is that Russia is a direct and immediate threat to France in all respects," the prime minister emphasised.
