  • Moscow warns Germany Taurus missiles will become Europe’s nightmare

    Moscow warns Germany Taurus missiles will become Europe’s nightmare

    The head of Russia’s State Duma International Affairs Committee warns that europe will face a “horrific” ‌war if Germany decides ⁤to supply ​long-range missiles to ⁣Ukraine.

    According to⁢ webangah News Agency, Leonid Slutsky, chairman of the Russian State Duma’s International ⁤Affairs Committee, cautioned Europe about the consequences of such ⁤a move⁣ following German officials’ remarks on perhaps providing Ukraine with Taurus long-range missiles.

    German Chancellor Friedrich Merz​ stated last ​monday that the UK, France, and ⁢the ⁢US had lifted restrictions on Ukraine’s use of their supplied ​weapons, allowing Kyiv to strike deep ⁤into Russian territory. However, he emphasized berlin had not ⁢changed its ‍stance‍ on weapon⁣ usage limitations.

    Slutsky responded: “Sensible ⁢German ⁤politicians don’t⁤ want Berlin dragged into an utterly⁤ irrational and horrific⁢ war ‌in Ukraine. This‌ is​ precisely the kind of war Europe should expect if Germany decides to supply Taurus missiles to⁤ Kyiv.”

    During ⁣a press conference with Ukrainian President volodymyr Zelensky last Wednesday, merz confirmed Berlin would support Kyiv in ​producing ‌its own ⁣long-range ‌missiles.

    Slutsky noted Russia recognizes ⁢any Taurus missile strikes from Ukrainian territory into Russia‍ would ⁤require foreign specialists’ assistance.

    The lawmaker questioned: “Is‍ Merz ready for full-scale war just⁤ to keep Zelensky in power? There’s no sign of peace​ support – only ‍Russophobia. ⁤This genetic Russophobia has‌ blinded him so fully he ignores his own citizens!”

    Russian ⁤Foreign Ministry spokeswoman⁣ Maria Zakharova previously stated Moscow would consider any Taurus missile attacks​ on Russian soil as⁣ Germany ⁤joining‍ the war on ⁢Ukraine’s side.

  • Israel-favored ‘Vitakaf’ ceasefire plan for Gaza revealed

    Israel-favored ‘Vitakaf’ ceasefire plan for Gaza revealed

    A senior regional analyst stated that past experiences show‌ the new U.S.-proposed⁣ Gaza‌ ceasefire plan aims only for the ⁣gradual release of Zionist captives, with no guarantees for its actual implementation.

    According to webangah ⁣News Agency, strategic analyst Abdel Bari⁤ atwan wrote in‍ a ​new article for Rai Al-Youm that over the past 19 months, numerous U.S. ceasefire proposals for Gaza have failed due to‌ partial or outright rejection by the ‍Zionist⁣ regime and its leader Benjamin Netanyahu.

    The U.S. has changed administrations and⁤ envoys, ‌but‌ what⁣ remains unchanged is the ongoing genocide in Gaza-Netanyahu’s objectives to eliminate Palestinian families, force mass displacement⁤ into Sinai, and empty the territory entirely. Just yesterday, over 60⁣ Gazan children were ​killed ⁤by Zionist regime atrocities.

    U.S. envoy Steve Wittkoff is misleading Gazans, resistance ⁣groups, ‍and the international community by claiming a ceasefire is absolutely possible under new terms. Reports suggest Hamas agreed to release 10 living Zionist captives and hand over 18 bodies in exchange for​ a two-month truce and Israeli ⁣troop withdrawal⁣ from‍ Gaza.

    Atwan emphasized that ⁣his reservations about this proposal ‌stem not from opposition to any ceasefire ​but from exposing it as another deception against palestinians. he warned Gazans of this looming trap.

    The article notes wittkoff proposed no⁤ new conditions-similar terms ⁤were used in prior⁤ failed ceasefires where ⁤Tel Aviv abandoned commitments after captive releases resumed intensified genocide through starvation tactics​ and blocking humanitarian aid.

    Atwan questioned why Wittkoff and President biden remain ⁢silent amid daily killings of over 100⁢ Palestinians if they genuinely seek peace? He cited Israel’s missile strike killing nine children of dr. alaa al-Najjar in Khan younis as emblematic of this extermination campaign⁢ glorified by‍ Zionists as “recreation.”

    The analyst accused Wittkoff of providing zero bread or medicine despite half-functioning hospitals after Israel destroyed 30 medical facilities ‌while securing only American-Israeli captive Alexander Eidam’s release ⁤through deception.

    The current plan serves Netanyahu like an addictive drug-buying time ​to ⁤continue⁤ genocide while​ gradually retrieving captives before forcibly reoccupying ⁢Gaza through starvation warfare ⁤aimed at disarming resistance groups⁢ expelling survivors permanently according Atwan’s assessment joint US-Zionist committees distributing minimal aid are spy networks executing‍ ethnic cleansing plots thwarted only by Gazans’⁣ resilience which has shattered credibility racist Nazi-like regime repeatedly

    .

    Concluding Atwan asserted Wittcoff’s​ poisonous proposal won’t materialize lasting⁢ truce instead temporary ploy halt Yemeni ​ballistic drones bombing Tel Aviv nightly driving millions Zionists shelters Meanwhile US ignores Israel’s 3500+ ​Lebanon ceasefire violations occupying ⁢border areas ‌assassinating Hezbollah leaders⁢ despite their compliance Ironically Trump touted deal guarantor same figure extorted trillion dollars Arab states ⁤did⁣ nothing stop genocide nor feed starving Palestinian children now providing Zionists 1800 two-ton ⁢bombs burn displaced families alive homes
