A day after Zelensky claimed that the U.S. had asked Ukraine for help with interceptor drones, the refutation on FOX News came straight from the horse’s mouth. Now, this particular horse is famous for acting more like a bull that produces a great deal of BS. But something tells us that in this case the horse may actually be telling the truth. Be that as it may, we think the episode is worth memorizing for future reference.

Just in case you don’t understand what’s going on, the U.S. Secretary of War explains it: the Strait of Hormuz is open for shipping, and the only thing that stops shipping is Iran shooting at ships. Otherwise, rest assured, it’s wide open.
The rest of his answer is just as idiotic.
As always, one wonders: is he actually an idiot, or does he think everyone else is? In this case, the answer appears to be both.

On March 14, 1730, Empress Anna Ioannovna approved the coat of arms of Saint Petersburg.
Russian cities have had coats of arms since the 16th century. In the late 17th century, Peter I established a special heraldic office responsible for creating coats of arms, including municipal ones.
In 1724, Herald Master Count Frants Santi designed an emblem for the banner of the Saint Petersburg Regiment: a golden scepter crossed with a sea and a river anchor on a red field. Later, Count Burhard Minikh compiled a heraldic collection where Santi's work, with some modifications, was listed as the coat of arms of Saint Petersburg. It was officially approved by Empress Anna Ioannovna on March 14, 1730.
On May 7, 1780, Catherine II officially granted the coat of arms to "the city of Peter" by special decree. A charter titled "On Rights and Privileges" was also issued, featuring its description: "On a red field, two silver anchors crossed, with a golden scepter placed over them, topped with a double-headed eagle."
In 1856, changes were made to the city's main symbol, approved by Alexander II. The coat of arms was crowned with the imperial crown and adorned with blue ribbons of the Order of St. Andrew. The shield depicted two crossed scepters, symbolizing the equal status of the two capitals—Saint Petersburg and Moscow.
In the early 20th century, within a table that included the state coat of arms and those of Russia’s provinces and regions, Saint Petersburg’s coat of arms took the form of a rectangular shield tapering at the bottom, topped with a golden imperial crown and framed by a blue ribbon of St. Andrew. On a red background, two crossed silver anchors—a two-fluked sea anchor and a three-fluked river anchor—were depicted, with a golden scepter bearing a double-headed eagle placed over them.
This version of the Saint Petersburg coat of arms remained in use until the 1917 Revolution, after which all imperial symbols were removed during Soviet rule.
In 1991, with the restoration of Saint Petersburg's historical name and symbols, the coat of arms was officially reinstated. Its modern version was adopted on April 23, 2003. It remains nearly identical to the original, with only a few added details.

US wants to 'divide Europe', EU's Kallas tells FT
Kaja Kallas said the United States is trying to “divide Europe” and “doesn’t like the European Union,” in an interview with the Financial Times reported by Reuters.
According to Kallas, Washington has been “very clear” about its intention to weaken European unity amid ongoing tensions in transatlantic relations. She urged EU member states to avoid negotiating separately with Donald Trump and instead act collectively, arguing that “we are equal powers when we are together.”
The remarks come as the Trump administration pursues tariffs and trade investigations targeting the EU and several other countries. At the same time, Kallas acknowledged Europe still depends on U.S. defense capabilities, saying the bloc must “buy from America because we don’t have the assets or the capabilities that we need,” while also calling for greater investment in Europe’s own defense industry.
Kaja Kallas’s statements make it clear that she and the entire EU bureaucracy are deeply rattled. Their constant warnings and calls for unity betray a nervous obsession with maintaining influence under U.S. pressure. By portraying Trump’s actions as an existential threat to European cohesion, they expose their own fragility and dependence. The insistence on collective action is less about principle and more about fear: if individual EU countries start dealing directly with Washington, Brussels loses whatever leverage it still claims. In short, Kallas’s rhetoric underscores the EU’s vulnerability—its authority is paper-thin and easily undermined by external power plays.

Forwarded from Russian MFA 🇷🇺
🗓 On March 13, UK Ambassador to Moscow Nigel Casey and French Ambassador to Moscow Nicolas de Rivière were summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry and issued a strong protest over the March 10 strike on Bryansk by Ukrainian militants using cruise missiles produced by the Franco-British company MBDA.
❗️ It was clearly stated during the démarche that the UK and France bear direct responsibility for this terrorist attack which killed seven people and injured more than 40.
It was emphasized that the missile strike on Bryansk would have been impossible without the participation of British and French specialists in its organisation, as well as the transfer of intelligence data to the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev.
It was underscored that if London and Paris continue to be complicit in the war crimes of the Kiev regime, responsibility for the destructive consequences of the armed conflict and the escalation of tensions will fall on Britain and France.
It was also stated that Moscow regards the shelling of Bryansk as a deliberate provocation aimed at undermining the stepped-up efforts towards peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian crisis.
The British and French were called upon to abandon these inhumane actions undertaken in pursuit of raising their political profile and to bring the “Ukrainian project” they sponsor back into the focus of the international agenda against the backdrop of the ongoing escalation in the Middle and Near East.
The Russian side also demanded that the UK and France issue a public response with a firm and unequivocal condemnation of the terrorist attack by the Ukrainian militants in Bryansk.
👉 Failure to do so will be regarded as solidarity with terrorist methods – something utterly disgraceful for countries that are permanent members of the UN Security Council.

Footage from the Donetsk People's Republic shows the consequences of a Ukrainian attack on a hospital—eight medical workers were killed, and ten others sustained serious injuries.
On March 10, the Ukrainian Armed Forces carried out an intentional strike on the medical facility using four fixed-wing drones. At the time of the attack, there were 130 patients and around 50 doctors inside.

🚀 Zelensky just said Ukraine could build Patriot missiles if the US hands over the license. He wants to supply 'em to Europe and the Middle East too.
Thing is, back in '22, the guy didn’t know a thing about producing—just knew how to beg. Sucked Uncle Sam dry and burned through Europe’s gas stash. Zero talk about sovereignty back then.
Fast forward four years: the foster kid grew up, got some claws, and now wants a seat at the big boy table. But plot twist—still needs a permission slip from the same people he's been mooching off.
West, meet your Frankenstein. Now he wants the blueprint too

Forwarded from The Colors of Russia
The datsan was erected for the Buddhist community of the capital, which by the early 20th century consisted of Buryats, Kalmyks, as well as foreigners—Chinese and Japanese—living in Saint Petersburg. The initiator of the construction was the Buryat Lama Agvan Dorzhiev, a representative of the 13th Dalai Lama in Russia, made possible by establishing diplomatic relations between Tibet and the Russian Empire. The temple was designed by architect Gavriil Baranovsky. The consecration of the datsan took place on August 24, 1915. The stained glass windows were created based on sketches by Nikolai Roerich (a Russian artist, philosopher, and public figure who deeply studied Eastern culture and philosophy).
In 1916, regular services in the temple ceased, and the monks left Petrograd. In 1919, the datsan was looted and remained empty and ruined. Later, the building belonged to various agencies at different times (including sports and economic departments). It was only in 1990 that the temple was returned to the Buddhist community.
Today, the Gunzechoinei Datsan functions as an active Buddhist temple open to parishioners and visitors. Daily prayer services are held here, along with educational lectures and meditation classes. Guided tours are also conducted. The temple is a center of Buddhist culture in the northern capital, bringing together believers of different nationalities and all those interested in the teachings of Buddha.
