Soldiers of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine carried out a raid and destroyed Russian positions in one of the hottest operational areas.

Points of attention

  • Ukrainian Special Operations Forces successfully blew up a dugout of Russian occupiers in a daring raid.
  • The operation involved the use of Semtex explosives to destroy enemy positions in one of the hottest operational areas of the conflict.
  • After eliminating the Russian invaders, the SSO fighters withdrew safely without any losses.
  • In a separate incident, another group of SSO fighters eliminated North Korean soldiers in the Kursk region using various tactics, including a gun battle and UAVs.
  • These successful operations demonstrate the skill and precision of Ukrainian Special Operations Forces in combating foreign invaders.

SSO fighters carried out a daring raid on the occupiers' position

The Special Operations Forces Command announced this on Facebook and published a corresponding video.

Operators of the 3rd SSO Regiment discovered at least four Russian invaders who had taken up a dugout at a former Defense Forces position in one of the hottest operational directions of the Russian-Ukrainian war.

The warriors carefully planned a raid on the enemy position and the destruction of the enemies holding it.

The SSO group boldly stormed close to the enemy position in an armored Humvee. The operators took the exit from the dugout under fire control and threw 13 kilograms of "Semtex" inside — a plastic explosive based on hexogen and tetranitropentaerythritol. The powerful explosion left only a crater and the remains of the Russian occupiers at the site of the enemy dugout.

After a successful operation, the group of the 3rd SSO Regiment withdrew to a safe place without losses.

The SSO "doubled" a group of North Korean soldiers in Kursk

Operators of the 8th Special Operations Forces Regiment (SOF) eliminated 13 North Korean soldiers in the Kursk region. An officer may have been among those killed.

As noted, while performing special tasks, SSO fighters engaged in a gun battle, during which they killed five servicemen of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).

Another eight opponents were eliminated using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

Hungarians receive false information from the authorities regarding Ukraine's accession to the EU

The Hungarian government
Source:  European truth

The Hungarian government, along with ballots for a "survey" of Hungarians about Ukraine's membership in the EU, has spread its counterarguments, which are based on manipulation and outright lies.

Points of attention

  • The Hungarian government is spreading false arguments and manipulation tactics to create a negative perception of Ukraine's accession to the EU among Hungarians.
  • The counterarguments provided by Budapest lack scientific support and are based on blatant lies, aiming to influence public opinion.
  • Ukraine's adoption of European norms is a requirement for EU accession, debunking claims such as the threat of the Ukrainian mafia infiltrating Europe, as presented by the Hungarian government.

Orban is being manipulated on the issue of Ukraine's accession to the EU

Hungarian government spokesman Zoltan Kovacs announced on March 29 that Hungarians had begun sending out ballots for a "survey" along with an information sheet outlining seven "risks" of Ukraine's accession to the EU from Budapest's perspective.

The first risk is that in the event of Ukraine's membership, Hungary will allegedly lose EU funding, "and all the money will go to Ukraine" (why "all" is not explained).

In addition, Brussels is calling for huge joint borrowing, which indicates that we will all become debtors together due to Ukraine's accession, says the Hungarian government video (which also does not explain what kind of borrowing is involved and how it is related to Ukraine).

Other "risks", according to Hungary, are related to the fact that Ukraine is a huge producer of agricultural products, so after accession "all EU funds will go to Ukrainian farmers", and the European market will be "open to low-quality, genetically modified Ukrainian goods".

At the same time, the Hungarian government ignores the fact that accession to the European Union requires Ukraine to adopt all European norms, including in the field of agriculture, so this statement is a blatant lie.

The Hungarian government spokesman also claims, without evidence, that Ukraine was "the center of drug trafficking and organized crime in Eastern Europe" even "before the war," so "accession to the EU will open the way for the Ukrainian mafia to enter Europe, and therefore Hungary."

Budapest's other arguments are that after Ukraine joins the EU, Ukrainians, as a cheap labor force, will "threaten jobs and pensions" in the European Union.

Ukrainians will also threaten public health because "there is no mandatory vaccination in Ukraine" (in fact, there is mandatory vaccination in Ukraine), and "Ukraine's hasty accession to the EU" will jeopardize the payment of the so-called 13th pension by the Orban government.

Such polls do not actually have legal force, and only a small percentage of Hungarian voters (up to 30%) actually participate in them. At the same time, Orbán's government often refers to the results of such polls as evidence that its policies have public support.

Former Pentagon consultant names Putin's next target

Putin is preparing to invade NATO
Source:  online.ua

Reuben Johnson, a former U.S. Defense Department consultant and expert on foreign military affairs, sees strong signs that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is mobilizing forces to attack NATO. He knows that the window of opportunity to carry out such a plan is rapidly closing.

Points of attention

  • If NATO fails to respond to a potential Russian invasion, it could severely damage the alliance's authority according to the expert's analysis.
  • Expert predicts that Putin will act swiftly to attack before Russia's financial situation deteriorates further, potentially mirroring the invasion of Crimea in 2014.

Putin is preparing to invade NATO

According to the expert, the illegitimate head of the Kremlin sees NATO's weakness and is also convinced that the current situation in Europe represents a window of opportunity.

Johnson predicts that Putin will make his next move as soon as possible before Russia's financial situation deteriorates completely.

Putin's move would be to attack through the strategically important Suwalki Corridor, which connects Russia's Kaliningrad with Belarus. Putin's rationale and "game plan" for seizing this corridor would be an exact replica of the invasion of Crimea in March 2014, the expert notes.

According to Johnson, the Russian dictator will want to take advantage of the tensions between US President Donald Trump's team and European leaders.

Putin hopes to seize this land bridge and end Kaliningrad's geographical isolation.

This would violate the sovereignty of Estonia, Lithuania and Poland, which are NATO members. If NATO does not respond to a Russian invasion of this kind, Putin could destroy what is left of the alliance's authority, the expert stressed.
