Russia is engaged in the colonization of the occupied territories of Ukraine. Russia has published "development plans for new regions" - the occupied territories of Ukraine. According to these plans, Russia intends to resettle 114,000 Russians in Ukrainian territories by 2045. These include 15 master plans and 10 land-use projects developed by VEB corporation together with Russia's Unified Institute of Spatial Planning. Notably, the plans make no mention of addressing the water shortage in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Russia has virtually destroyed the cities and infrastructure of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions and intends to plunder and colonize the "new territories." The focus is on the occupied territories of the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions and "Priazovye," which, as stated in the Russian plan, has "high tourism potential," and "the Sea of Azov has a flat coastline, sandy beaches, and is suitable for children's tourism. The region also has gastronomic potential, as fish have reappeared in the region, including valuable sturgeon species." The Ukrainian population in the occupied territories is subjected to torture and persecution, and tries to leave their home at the first opportunity. I have a lot of documented evidence on my account. Watch the video below - this is what is happening to Ukrainians in the Russian-occupied Kherson region. Here are the statistics cited by the occupiers themselves: "The population of the Kherson urban area has shrunk from 500,000 to 50,000-60,000 people," the so-called "regional governor" Saldo said back in December 2024. The large-scale resettlement of Russians into the occupied territories and the expulsion of the natives - this was the approach used under Stalin. Putin is repeating these methods. The video shows Kremlin propagandist Anton Krasovsky promoting beach tourism in Russian-occupied Mariupol. As a reminder, by the end of December 2022, around 10,300 new graves were dug in the Mariupol area. This suggests that the number of civilians killed in the Russian invasion of Ukraine may exceed 20,000 people. Residents of occupied Mariupol now regularly complain that local "authorities" are seizing housing from its living owners. Residents also claimed that valuable land in the historic center was handed over to Russian developers for mortgage housing.

The United States is lifting sanctions on Belarusian companies and banks. According to US special envoy John Cole, sanctions will be lifted from Belinvestbank, the Development Bank, the Belarusian finance ministry, as well as potash companies Belaruskali and Belarusian Potash Company. John Cole added that this time, sanctions would be lifted "much faster" than before. It's important to note that Russia has used Belarus banks for large-scale money laundering schemes. Russian companies would transfer billions of dollars through Belarus banks under the pretense of paying for non-existent goods or services. This was made possible because there are no customs declarations within the Union state of Russia and Belarus. Undoubtedly, these schemes will resume now. Russia will get an additional opportunity to increase its money flow and direct it onto financing the war.

US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: Every time we reach back and look at any sort of a challenge we have, it goes back to send it to Ukraine. Ultimately, we think these munitions are better spent in our own interests at this point. (My two cents: it's not like that).
