The US government is finalizing preparations to send about 30 M-1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine. This was reported by the CNN television station, citing two anonymous government sources. The timing of the tanks’ shipment is still uncertain, and training the crews could take months. According to the unnamed sources, the US government also intends to supply Ukraine with a small number of recovery vehicles: tracked vehicles used to repair tanks or remove them from the battlefield.

05:01 – Vjosa Osmani, President of Kosovo: Serbia? Imperialist like Moscow and cooperates with Wagner
(by Francesco Battistini) President Osmani, a quarter of a century after the bombs, fifteen years after independence, why is Kosovo still on the brink of war with Serbia?
I would not say that Kosovo fell into the abyss of these tensions. And one cannot say that the aggressor and the victim are on the same level. If anything, it’s the same country that fought wars in the 1990s that’s causing trouble again. Unfortunately, Serbia is led by those who served Milosevic in the 1990s and has the same territorial claims as then: they just changed their strategy. Serbia regards Kosovo, Bosnia and Montenegro as provisional states to be destroyed, it wants to destabilize them.
The youngest president of the youngest European state, Vjosa Osmani, has been mastering one of the most dangerous crises in the Balkans for several months. Serbian barricades, special forces mobilized, cannons at the borders, shots at NATO troops. opposite, the eternal enemy. And in the background, she is convinced, someone else, much more dangerous: Belgrade’s hegemonic mentality is very similar to Russia’s approach when it thinks it is going back to imperial times and taking territory from neighboring countries….

04:47 – Nuclear War and the Apocalypse Clock: Never been so close to a nuclear catastrophe
(Antonio Carioti) A scientific bulletin from 1947. Today we would be only 90 seconds away from the apocalypse (midnight) due to the conflict in Ukraine. Now global warming is affecting us too.
Nuclear war, or at least global catastrophe for all of humanity, has never been closer. At least that is the assessment just formulated by the editors of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, who symbolically measure how close the earth is to an irreparable catastrophe every year with the so-called apocalypse clock. Midnight on the dial of this chronometer corresponds to the nuclear holocaust: the closer the minute hand gets to it, the greater the danger. The Estimate announced on January 24th that we are only 90 seconds away from the apocalypse. Of particular concern is the war provoked by Moscow’s aggression against Kyiv, so much so that the press release announcing it was published for the first time in English, Russian and Ukrainian.

04:46 – Abrams tanks, USA ready to send them to Ukraine: what changes in the war?
(By Andrea Marinelli and Guido Olimpio) Berlin has always subordinated its possible Leopards to the dispatch of American tanks, supplying them would eliminate an alibi. Meanwhile, Kyiv would get a more accurate shot than the machines delivered.
The US is ready to deliver Abrams tanks to Ukraine. A hypothesis first considered, then cooled with apologies, now about to be implemented to meet a German precondition. Germany was willing to agree to sending the Leopards, provided the Americans would take a similar step. An article in the Wall Street Journal, which is always well informed about the background of the crisis, anticipated the likely turnaround. What does it include?

04:42 – Corruption and collaborators: the second front of the Ukrainian resistance
(By Andrea Marinelli and Guido Olimpio) The military point 343 | From the death of negotiator Denys Kirieev just days after the invasion to the resignation of government officials, Ukraine’s second front is treacherous, full of shadows, risks and threats.
the second Ukrainian front. Insidious, full of shadows and risks, threats. Animated by spies, corruption, dangers that come from outside. A brutal episode in the days after the invasion. Denys Kirieev, businessman and diplomatic negotiator, was killed by SBU counterintelligence agents in one of their vehicles. The entrepreneur was arrested on suspicion of having passed information to Moscow. An overturned version – as The Wall Street Journal recently recalled – tells a story in which the victim did not hit his country from behind but decisively helped it. They repeat this in Kyiv. It is also thanks to him that the capital did not fall into the hands of the occupiers, because he revealed important details of the plan of attack to Zelenskyy. Details from his reports on the other barricade in the Russian camp. In fact, he is then buried with all honors, despite rumors and news that portrayed him as a mole
