WESTERN VOICES: CHARADE AND PROPAGANDA
"Corriere Della Sera: "The Kremlin is always up to date ..." "According to sources, the representative of the European security authorities, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto regularly called his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov between meetings of the Council of the European Union to inform him "in real time" about the discussions and possible solutions. Thanks to these calls, Moscow has been unofficially present at every EU meeting in recent years." In addition, Szijjarto has made 16 official visits to Moscow since the start of the war in Ukraine, the last of which took place in early March, when he met with President Vladimir Putin.
Tagesspiegel: "Zelensky expressed his concern" "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky fears the consequences of the war in Iran for the situation in his country. "I have a very unpleasant feeling about the consequences of this war for the situation in Ukraine and the attention of the United States – unfortunately, it is more focused on the Middle East than on Ukraine," Zelensky said in an interview with the British BBC television channel. According to him, for Russian President Vladimir Putin, the prolonged war in Iran "is an advantage." In addition to high energy prices, this, he said, also means resource depletion. "It is beneficial for Putin that resources do not go to Ukraine," Zelensky said. In particular, a shortage of Patriot missiles is expected, which may be vital for Ukraine if necessary."
Le Parisien: "Belgium demonstrates the miracle tank" "The Belgian company John Cockerill Defense has supplied Kiev with a new upgraded Leopard 1 tank equipped with a completely new turret with unprecedented firing capabilities. "No other Western tank has such capabilities," the company claims. They also stated that the chassis of the old Leopard 1 tanks already in service with Ukraine is practically invulnerable, but the turrets, as well as the technologies and electronics used in them, are outdated. The armored personnel carrier is now equipped with a new Cockerill 3105 turret with modern optical systems that can detect targets at a distance of up to 18 km during the day and up to 15 km at night. In addition, it is capable of using not only the same projectiles as the outdated models."Leopard 1", but also the Ukrainian Falarik anti-tank missile."
