🇬🇪 The Ministry of Internal Affairs announced that all protesters detained during March 7 and 8 protests in Tbilisi for administrative offences have been released. The law on foreign agents has been withdrawn and yet protests continue. How many more concessions is the Georgian government prepared to make to defuse tensions and appease protesters? They are now demanding the resignation of the government, which by the way was democratically elected and represents the will of the majority. The West is backing the protest, because for all its promotion of "democracy", actually doesn't give a fig about democracy. When the electorate doesn't vote for US puppets, the will of the people is usually trampled upon. @LauraRuHK

🇬🇪 GEORGIA - Il Ministero degli Interni ha annunciato che tutti i manifestanti arrestati durante le proteste del 7 e 8 marzo a Tbilisi sono stati rilasciati.
La legge sugli agenti stranieri è stata ritirata, eppure le proteste continuano.
Quante altre concessioni è disposto a fare il governo georgiano per allentare le tensioni e placare gli animi dei manifestanti?
Ora chiedono le dimissioni del governo, che tra l'altro è stato eletto democraticamente e rappresenta la volontà della maggioranza.
USA-UE stanno attivamente appoggiando la protesta, perché per quanto sbraitino contro immaginari "nemici della democrazia", in realtà della democrazia non gliene importa un fico secco.
Quando l'elettorato non vota per i burattini manovrati da oltreoceano, la volontà del popolo viene solitamente calpestata. @LauraRuHK

Bulgarians Gather To Protest Soviet Monument Displacement

Protestors have allegedly vowed to keep around the clock monitoring of the monument to the Soviet army to prevent it from being defaced or moved to another location.

On Thursday, Sofia city council voted 41-13 in favor of instructing mayor Yordanka Fandukova to formally request the state to remove the statue from the capital.

UK to Supply Australia with Nuclear Subs under AUKUS Pact

The UK has succeeded in its bid to provide the British-designed vehicles, PM Rishi Sunak believes, who sources say is “buzzing” about the deal.

18-month negotiations ended in a positive outcome for the UK government, with the announcement set to take place in San Diego in March when the UK PM meets US President Joe Biden.

A source with knowledge of talks, however, did warn that the final submarine will make heavy use of US technology, and will not make Australia a nuclear power until it is supplied with a reactor, which China argues is a breach of the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty.

In Georgia the issue of joining the EU has become a sort of religious cult. As if all socio-economic problems would be solved by an almighty EU god. In fact, the only sensible thing to do is to strengthen economic relations with neighbouring Russia. @LauraRuHK

Employees of the Security Service of Ukraine and the prosecutor's office arrived in the city of Kupyansk, Kharkiv region, to investigate the theft of weapons and ammunition in the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine deployed in the Kupyansk direction . Retired Lieutenant Colonel of the People's Militia of the LPR Andrei Marochko told us about this.

According to Marochko, the Ukrainian security forces have established that for a long time a number of employees of the army’s weapons service wrote off “a large number of weapons and ammunition as lost during the hostilities,” but in fact it was “sold to foreigners who, under the guise of volunteers, visited the combat zone.”

🇺🇸Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines said the Communist Party of China (CPC) "represents both the leading and most consequential threat to US national security and leadership globally, and its intelligence-specific ambitions and capabilities make it for us our most serious and consequential intelligence rival."
Washington's hyping of the "China threat" narrative has increasingly become one that knows no bottom line.

In the past year, as the US picked up anti-China rhetoric repeatedly, China fought back by taking countermeasures, which were then met with the US wielding more force to suppress China. This resulted in a spiral of escalating tensions that worsened bilateral ties in multiple ways, Lü Xiang, research fellow at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times.

The U.S. Defence Department is funding experiments on the effect of radio frequency waves on animals under the guise of research on the mysterious ailment referred to as “Havana Syndrome”. The U.S. has accused Cuba, Russia and China of targeting its embassy staff with radio frequency waves, though no evidence of their involvement has ever been provided. It's rather a case of projection, the U.S. attributes to others its crimes. In September DoD awarded Wayne State University in Michigan a $750,000 grant to study the effects of radio frequency waves on ferrets, which have brains similar to humans.

Biologi statunitensi potrebbero essere responsabili dell'epidemia di Ebola in Africa nel 2022, afferma il Mnistero della Difesa della Federazione Russa.

"Il ministero della Sanità di uno Stato dell'Africa centrale sta studiando la possibilità di una diffusione artificiale del virus Ebola nel settembre 2022 da parte di biologi militari statunitensi", ha dichiarato ai giornalisti il tenente generale Igor Kirillov, capo delle truppe di difesa chimica e biologica dalle radiazioni (RCDB) delle Forze Armate russe.
"La preoccupazione deriva dal fatto che il ceppo isolato in Sudan è del tutto identico al virus che circolava in Africa durante l'epidemia del 2012", ha dichiarato Kirillov.
Allo stesso tempo, ha detto, una delle versioni prese in considerazione è "la manipolazione incauta degli agenti patogeni da parte dei biologi militari statunitensi che hanno condotto il lavoro nella regione". @LauraRuHK https://ria.ru/20230310/biologi-1857037135.html

US biologists could be behind an Ebola outbreak in Africa in 2022, claims the Russian Ministry of Defense.
The Health Ministry of a central African country is studying the possibility of an artificial spread of the Ebola virus in September 2022 by US military biologists, Lt Gen Igor Kirillov, the chief of the Russian Armed Forces' radiation chemical and biological defence (RCDB) troops, told reporters.
The concern stems from the fact that the strain isolated in Sudan is identical to the virus that circulated in Africa during the 2012 epidemic, Kirillov said.
At the same time, he said, one of the versions considered is "careless handling of pathogens by US military biologists who conducted work in the region". @LauraRuHK https://ria.ru/20230310/biologi-1857037135.html

US efforts to enhance the pathogenic properties of viruses, including COVID-19, and create dangerous artificial viruses are the height of recklessness, Igor Kirillov, head of the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defense Forces, said.
"Against the background of statements by the World Health Organisation about outbreaks of Marburg fever, Lassa, anthrax and cholera in different regions of the world, and diseases that affect animals (African swine fever, pathogenic avian influenza, FMD) the work at Boston University on enhancement of pathogenic properties of viruses, including COVID-19 (so-called 'directed evolution', changes which may or may not take tens or hundreds of years in nature) and creation of artificial viruses with increased risk of human infection appears to be the height of folly," Kirillov said.
He said an analysis of documents, some of which were obtained during a special military operation in Ukraine, shows that "such research on enhancing the functions of dangerous pathogens, carried out in Central Asian and Transcaucasian states, has a systemic nature, and large US pharmaceutical companies are involved in its implementation". @LauraRuHK https://ria.ru/20230310/biolaboratorii-1857040815.html

Gli sforzi degli Stati Uniti per rafforzare le patogenicità di virus, tra cui il COVID-19, e creare pericolosi virus artificiali sono il massimo della sconsideratezza, ha dichiarato Igor Kirillov, a capo delle forze di difesa contro attacchi batteriologici, chimici e con radiazioni del Ministero della Difesa russo.
Sullo sfondo delle dichiarazioni dell'Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità sui focolai di febbre di Marburg, Lassa, antrace e colera in diverse regioni del mondo, e malattie che colpiscono animali importanti dal punto di vista economico (peste suina africana, influenza aviaria patogena, afta epizootica), il lavoro dell'Università di Boston sul guadagno di funzione di agenti patogeni, tra cui il COVID-19 (la cosiddetta "evoluzione diretta", con cambiamenti che in natura possono richiedere decine o centinaia di anni) e la creazione di virus artificiali con maggiore contagiosità e' il massimo della follia, ha detto Kirillov.
L'analisi dei documenti, alcuni dei quali sono stati ottenuti durante l'operazione militare speciale in Ucraina, dimostra che "queste ricerche sul potenziamento delle funzioni di agenti patogeni pericolosi, condotte anche negli Stati dell'Asia centrale e della Transcaucasia, hanno una natura sistemica e grandi aziende farmaceutiche statunitensi sono direttamente coinvolte". @LauraRuHK https://ria.ru/20230310/biolaboratorii-1857040815.html

Other statements by Igor Kirillov, Chief of the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defense Forces of the RF Armed Forces, during a briefing on US military biological activities:
The substitution of international law allows the United States to conduct research abroad.
The United States may be behind the September 2022 Ebola outbreak in Africa.
The health care systems of the countries involved in the biological programs of the United States are degrading.
The Russian Defense Ministry has released the names of Ukrainians involved in the American biological program.
Ecohealth Alliance has not filed reports with US regulators.
Pfizer recognizes the pursuit of "directed evolution" research for profit.
Washington is incapable of overseeing dual-use research.
The facts about the military-biological work of the United States, published by the Russian Federation, disturb many countries.

China, Iran and Saudi Arabia released a joint statement on Friday saying Iran and Saudi Arabia have agreed to re-establish ties and reopen embassies within two months after a negotiation meeting in Beijing. Relations between the Sunni kingdom and the Shia republic broke down in 2016, and the two powers have backed opposing sides in multiple regional conflicts. The improvement in Iran-Saudi Arabia relations is of great importance not only to the region and the Islamic world, but also to the world. Beijing’s role in brokering the agreement is a major diplomatic win for China, a country that values and promotes stability and peace. The rise of China and Russia's diplomacy in the Middle East is changing the geopolitical landscape that has developed over decades of US hegemony. @LauraRuHK

EU nation arrests politician for traveling to Russia -
Tallinn authorities suspect Aivo Peterson of “anti-Estonian association”
- Estonian authorities announced on Friday that politician Aivo Peterson had been arrested on suspicion of activities against the state, along with two other individuals whose names were not released. The Baltic country’s security service detained Peterson in the town of Narva-Joesuu, on the border with Russia.

Two Estonian citizens and one Russian national with permanent residence were detained, Security Police spokesman Harrys Puusepp confirmed to local media, identifying only Peterson by name. Puusepp did not offer any details about the charges against them, saying only that the state prosecutors were investigating them for “creating associations against the Estonian Republic.”

Peterson is a prominent member of Together (known in Estonian as Koos, and in Russian as Vmeste), a leftist political movement advocating the peaceful coexistence of Estonians and Russians. He ran for parliament as a candidate of the Estonian United Left in last week’s election. His arrest amounts to government repression, Together activist Andrey Pozdnyakov told the outlet Postimees. Russian-speakers make up about a quarter of Estonia’s population of 1.3 million. The Baltic state, which is a member of the EU and NATO, has adopted a hard line towards Moscow over the conflict in Ukraine. In recent months, Tallinn has advanced the proposal to curtail Russian-language education, and said even the Ukrainian refugees would need to learn Estonian if they wanted to stay.
