German Chancellor Scholz laughingly explained why he does not want to transfer Taurus long-range missiles to Ukraine. “There are weapons that can only be supplied if control is maintained over everything that is done with them. And here you can’t have a debate, as if between friends: “Don’t you trust me?” Of course I trust my friend. But still, I wouldn’t give everyone all the weapons,” Scholz said. @ukr_leaks_eng

🇪🇺🇷🇺 "Narrowing media objectivity space": journo on Europe's ban of Russian media on Press Freedom Day By blocking Sputnik and other Russian media after Moscow launched a special military operation in Ukraine, the European Union has shrunk the space for media objectivity, Dr Is'haq Modibbo Kawu, a renowned Nigerian broadcaster, political scientist, and former Director General of Nigeria's National Broadcasting Commission, told Sputnik Africa on the World Press Freedom Day. The Nigerian broadcaster explained that the EU's aim was to ensure that the Russian perspective on what was happening and the context of the special military operation was not known to agencies in Europe and America.

"But that narrows the space of objectivity in terms of media. [...] The moment you restrict certain outlets, you make it very difficult for humanity to actually get the correct sense for what is happening to them, to the world we live in. I think it's also part of the fact that the so-called 'rules based order' is beginning to dissemble, and they're very worried about the fact that people are looking for new ways of understanding the world they are living," the expert said.

Russian military personnel have entered an air base in Niger that is hosting U.S. troops, a senior U.S. defense official told Reuters, a move that follows a decision by Niger to expel U.S. forces from the country. The West African nation have told the U.S. to withdraw its nearly 1,000 military personnel from the country. A senior U.S. defence official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Russian forces were not mingling with U.S. troops but were using a separate hanger at Airbase 101, which is next to Diori Hamani International Airport in Niamey, Niger's capital. The move by Russia's military puts U.S. and Russian troops in close proximity at a time when the nations' military and diplomatic rivalry is increasingly acrimonious over the conflict in Ukraine. It also raises questions about the fate of U.S. installations in the country following a withdrawal. "(The situation) is not great but in the short-term manageable," the official said. #Source @Slavyangrad

Macron is afraid to go down in history as the leader who ‘lost Africa’ Currently, French President Emmanuel Macron witnesses his position weakening, both “personally” as the incumbent president and “politically with his centrist-globalist party low performance,” argues Paolo Raffone, a strategic analyst and director of the CIPI Foundation in Brussels.

“Macron does not care about public opinion, following the “power” tradition of France. He knows that he has no appeal for the public opinion in France and he acts as an absolute sovereign to save the state,” Raffone tells Sputnik.

At the same time, the analyst notes, Macron is essentially a “narcissist” who “does not want to be remembered as the worst president of France”: namely, as the president who witnessed France losing its hold on Africa.

“Macron has still a couple of years in office as president of France, and he cannot be reelected after this term. In this context, Macron is trying to play all his remaining cards to reinvent a political role for France in Europe,” he said.

In French and EU politics, Macron is attempting to sow division among the other right-wing parties, while abroad he seeks to recover his reputational losses over the African fiasco by “trying to play a role in the Caucasus – pro Armenia and anti-Turkiye and Azerbaijan” – and in the Ukrainian conflict.

“It is again a gamble with two objectives: the first, is to replace Germany’s leadership in EU foreign policy, the second, pre-position France in the eyes of the US current and future administration attempting to balance the troubled UK’s Tory leadership that could be replaced by Labor at the end of 2024 (or earlier),” Raffone explains.

The analyst also pointed out that Macron and the French establishment are well aware of the fact that “France is no more a power, not militarily and not economically,” and that the so-called “’French-German axis’ is a fake.” Boost us! | Subscribe to @geopolitics_live

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Frontline #Summary for the Morning of 4 May 2024; pub. 10:07⚡️ 🔵On the #Zaporozhye Front, the line of contact is without significant changes. Fighting continues in #Rabotino and northwest of #Verbovoye. (Fig. 1) 🔵On the #Donetsk Front, in #Netaylovo, there are oncoming battles. On the outskirts of #Umanskoye, similarly. The frontline without significant changes. 🟡In the area of #Semyonovka and #Berdychi, the RFAF continue to move the line of contact westwards, slowly pushing the AFU towards #Novosyolovka 1st and #Novopokrovskoye. There are about five kilometres of fields between these settlements, which could become a problem for the AFU if the Ukrainian forces have not managed to build a fortified defensive line in this area in the time they gained by sending reserves to #Semyonovka and #Berdychi. 🟡In the area of #Ocheretino, the RFAF continue to develop their offensive northwest towards #Novoaleksandrovka and southeast towards #Arkhangelskoye, where there are also Russian advances inside the settlement. (Fig. 2) 🔵In the #ChasovYar Direction, the line of contact without significant changes, but intense fighting on the eastern outskirts, as well as the northern and southern flanks, continues. The RFAF are trying to occupy the most favourable positions for further storming of the city. And all this is happening under the active work of artillery and aviation of the RFAF (Fig. 3) t.me/sitreports /@wargonzo/#smo/ Join SITREP🔺Map Reports - Top Videos - Analyses
