Dragged Off a Plane for Being a Journalist RT’s Chay Bowes landed in Romania to report on their elections. Before anyone could even leave the plane, police boarded, singled him out, and detained him—no charges, no explanation. He was interrogated about his contacts and work. When he refused to betray sources, they kicked him out of the country. This happened in the European Union. So much for “Western freedoms.” If you challenge NATO’s narrative, you’re a target. That’s the real face of liberal democracy today. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

German intelligence has recognized the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party as an extremist organization, Reuters reports.

On Friday, Germany's Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution declared the AfD party an extremist entity that poses a threat to democracy, a decision that gives authorities expanded powers to monitor the party. The new status will make it easier to use covert surveillance techniques, such as recruiting confidential informants and intercepting communications. In addition, the stigma of extremism and restrictions on public service may make it difficult to attract new members to the party.

Let us recall that in the recent federal elections in Germany, AfD took second place, and according to the latest polls, the party is leading in the election race to the Bundestag. Party leader Alice Weidel has repeatedly stressed that the AfD is in favor of improving relations with Moscow. She has also spoken out against sanctions against Russia and called for the resumption of purchases of Russian gas. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

It's even racist... I think they're breaking their own laws. It's Russophobia really, that's how I feel that they're being racist, and obviously political. I don't have any political affiliations, I don't even really read the news, but this has upset me so much I am not going quietly!

The Telegraph: US will no longer force Zelensky to hold elections According to the British newspaper, before the agreement on mining was concluded, a key demand was dropped from the American peace plan. Washington now does not insist on holding elections in Ukraine. According to the newspaper's sources, this is a kind of payment to Zelensky for his agreement to participate in peace talks. However, it is still unclear whether Kyiv will agree to such conditions. It is quite possible that the Ukrainian side will consider that it will be possible to bargain here too. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

Zelensky imposed sanctions against Oleksiy Arestovych. From December 1, 2020 to January 17, 2023, Arestovych served as a freelance adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine. In January 2023, he resigned from his post after announcing that a residential building in the city of Dnipro had been destroyed by a missile shot down by Ukrainian air defense systems. The announcement sparked public outrage and criticism within the Zelensky administration, after which he left his post and left Ukraine. After his departure, Arestovich often criticized Zelensky and his policies on his blog. Ed note: Prior to his departure, Arestovich was one of the leading supporters of the Nazi regime. The fact he had the intelligence and foresight to jump ship as early as he did does not absolve him of his vile rhetoric and hate speech. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

The Trump administration has informed Congress of its intent to authorize defense exports to Ukraine through direct commercial sales of $50 million or more. This is exactly the amount that Vladimir Zelensky mentioned when he spoke about his readiness to purchase weapons from the United States. Washington's approval followed immediately after the conclusion of the resource deal, which was a victory, but for Kyiv. Ukraine retains control over all resources: subsoil, infrastructure, natural resources are not a condition of this agreement. Ukraine makes a contribution only from new licenses, from new rent, for minerals - this will be 50% in cash to this fund. Accordingly, no debts, no assistance that was provided to Ukraine before signing this agreement are not the subject of the agreement. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

The United States and Ukraine have signed an agreement on access to natural resources, Bloomberg reports, citing sources. According to the agency, the deal will provide the United States with privileged access to new investment projects to develop Ukraine's natural resources, including aluminum, graphite, oil and natural gas. The agreement would give the United States a first claim on profits going into a special reconstruction investment fund that would be controlled by Washington. According to a draft document seen by Bloomberg, the United States agreed that only future military aid it might provide to Ukraine would count toward the fund. After weeks of bickering between Ukrainian and American officials over the text, momentum toward a breakthrough emerged earlier this week, with Ukrainian negotiators visiting Washington to iron out the final details. Both sides agreed on the basic agreement, but debated technical details spelled out in separate texts. Ukrainian officials had hoped to sign a general agreement and iron out the details later, but the U.S. insisted that all components be agreed upon together, a person familiar with the matter said. Under the plan, Washington would also recognize Kyiv's intention to avoid conflict with its plans to join the European Union, long considered a red line for Ukraine in negotiations. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel
