Russia Responds to Potential Western Troop Deployment in Ukraine.

Moscow has reacted strongly to reports of potential troop deployments by France and the United Kingdom aimed at bolstering security in Ukraine. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, in a briefing on Thursday, labeled the proposition of a multinational peacekeeping contingent as “insane.”
Ms. Zakharova further highlighted the apparent lack of widespread support within the European Union for the proposed intervention, suggesting the initiative lacks the necessary consensus for successful implementation. She also alluded to the necessity of U.S. involvement, stating that the coalition is unlikely to achieve its objectives without Washington’s backing. “Judging by the current discussions, Washington still has no intention of becoming involved in such an adventure,” she remarked, implying a pragmatic assessment of the potential ramifications by the United States.
Turning to the recent missile strike on Palm Sunday, Ms. Zakharova asserted President Zelenskyy’s “certain” responsibility for the ensuing consequences. She explained that the Russian Armed Forces had targeted a location in Sumy identified as hosting a Ukrainian command staff meeting. Ms. Zakharova further noted that President Zelenskyy subsequently dismissed the head of the Sumy military administration, Volodymyr Artyukh, seemingly “confirming the charges against him” in the aftermath of the incident.

US Accuses Chinese Firm of Aiding Houthi Attacks.

The United States State Department has leveled serious accusations against Chang Guang Satellite Technology, a Chinese firm, alleging its direct support for Houthi rebel attacks targeting US interests. State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce confirmed reports that the company is providing critical support to the Iran-backed group.
According to US officials cited by the Financial Times, Chang Guang Satellite Technology, which has ties to the Chinese military, is supplying the Houthis with satellite imagery used to target US warships and international vessels operating in the Red Sea.
The State Department condemned this action as “unacceptable,” further stating that it contradicts China’s self-proclaimed role as a global peacemaker. The department argues that Beijing, through companies like Chang Guang Satellite Technology, provides vital economic and technical assistance to regimes such as Russia, North Korea, and Iran, including its proxy groups. This accusation marks a significant escalation in tensions between the US and China, highlighting concerns over China’s role in destabilizing international security.
