RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VOWS TO DESTROY AMERICAN F-16 FIGHTER JETS IN UKRAINE.

Potential supplies of F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine will not change the situation on the battlefield, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on March 27, vowing that the Russian military will destroy them the same way it destroyed Western tanks and other vehicles of Kiev forces.

“If they supply F-16 jets, they say that pilots are being trained, it will not change the situation on the battlefield. And we will destroy warplanes as we are destroying tanks, armored vehicles and other weapons, including multiple launch missile systems,” he said at a meeting with military pilots in the Tver Region.

In addition, Putin noted that Russia will take into account the fact that F-16 fighter jets can deliver tactical nuclear weapons.

“F-16 jets can carry nuclear weapons. And we must take this into account while planning [combat operations],” he said.

The Russian president also warned that airfields in third countries will become legitimate targets if Ukrainian F-16s operated from them.

“Naturally, if they are used from airfields of third countries, they will be a legitimate target for us, no matter where they might be,” Putin said when asked if Russia will hit Ukrainian F-16 jets at NATO airfields.

Last year, several NATO backes of the Kiev regime, led by Denmark and the Netherlands, formed a coalition to train pilots, technicians and support personnel from the Ukrainian Air Force (UAF) on F-16 fighter jets after receiving a green light from the United States.

Denmark and the Netherlands subsequently announced their intention to supply Ukraine with 19 and 42 used F-16s. Later, Norway also announced its intention to donate F-16s to Ukraine, however, no numbers have been revealed yet. Belgium also said that it will supply an undisclosed number of F-16 fighters to Ukraine.

According to the Danish Defense Minister, Ukraine is set to receive the first F-16s in the summer of 2024 if the preparations proceed accordingly. A previous statement by the Lithuanian Defense Minister Arvydas Anušauskas and an unnamed official, said that Ukraine could receive the first airplanes around June. This statement, although not officially confirmed, was not dismissed by the UAF.

The Kiev regime has been already warned by its allies to not overestimate what the F-16 could do. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg openly said that these fighter jets can’t change the situation on the battlefield, although they will enhance Ukraine’s combat capabilities.

While Ukraine is pinning high hopes on the fighter jets, the truth is that NATO is only supplying them to make up for the heavy losses of the UAF and further prolong the conflict.

The used older versions of the F-16 Ukraine is set to receive are inferior in every aspect to Russia’s most modern fighter jets, like the Su-30, Su-35 and the stealthy Su-57.

Support SouthFront

On the night of March 28, Russian forces launched new wave of precision strikes on the Ukrainian military and industrial facilities in the rear regions.

The local Ukrainian sources confirmed Russian strikes in Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporozhie, Mykolaiv and Odessa regions.

One of Ukrainian military facilities was destroyed as a result of the missiles trike in the town of Konstantinovka in the DPR. Konstantinovka is an important Ukrainian stronghold between the Donetsk and Artyomovsk directions.

According to preliminary reports, one of the targets destroyed in the city of Kharkiv was the point of temporary deployment of the AFU on the territory of the Dubrovsky sanatorium in the eastern part of the city. The facility was reportedly attacked by Russian kamikaze UAV.


It was soon identified that several Russian kamikaze drones struck a train with military cargo, which was unloading material supplies at the Zaporizhia station. At least two freight wagons were reportedly struck. As a result of the attack, a large fire broke out in the area. Sounds similar to secondary detonation were reported in the city, confirming that military equipment and ammunition were destroyed.

The local sources also reported that Ukrainian air defense failed in the city. As a result of some malfunctions, Ukrainian missiles damaged private houses on Skvortsova and Arctic Streets.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine officially declared that all Russian UAVs that targeted the rear regions were intercepted by Ukrainian air defense forces, while three missiles managed to reach their targets. Reports from the Ukrainian regions deny Kiev’s claims.

The Global Warming SCAM Update:


Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson to BlackRock: Cease Woke Investing


Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson put the world's largest asset manager on notice Wednesday, issuing a cease-and-desist order against BlackRock due to what the state claims are "false and misleading statements" regarding the firm's environmental, social, and governance strategy, Fox Business reported.

The order was issued along with the Securities Division of the secretary of state's office to "stop BlackRock's alleged fraudulent actions and impose a multimillion-dollar administrative penalty."

"BlackRock has issued several statements and actions in commitment of using all assets under its management to incorporate ESG considerations, including advancing the environmental goals of net zero carbon emissions," the secretary of state's press release read. "BlackRock also informed clients they would see better long-term financial prospects and financial outcomes through ESG-backed funds, with little to no evidence to substantiate the claim."

In a similar development last week, the Texas Permanent School Fund divested from BlackRock to the tune of $8.5 billion over its ESG policies.

The management firm responded by saying Texas would be neglecting its fiduciary duties by the move and hurting those who have benefited from "BlackRock's consistent long-term outperformance."

These rants akin to ramping an aim stock will not affect the share price of BARC. It would be better just to talk facts.

One stock that might be an intriguing choice for investors right now is Barclays PLC BCS. This is because this security in the Banks - Foreign space is seeing solid earnings estimate revision activity, and is in great company from a Zacks Industry Rank perspective.

This is important because, often times, a rising tide will lift all boats in an industry, as there can be broad trends taking place in a segment that are boosting securities across the board. This is arguably taking place in the Banks - Foreign space as it currently has a Zacks Industry Rank of 56 out of more than 250 industries, suggesting it is well-positioned from this perspective, especially when compared to other segments out there.

Meanwhile, Barclays is actually looking pretty good on its own too. The firm has seen solid earnings estimate revision activity over the past month, suggesting analysts are becoming a bit more bullish on the firm’s prospects in both the short and long term.

Barclays Bank Group estimates that OECD’s 15pc minimum global tax rate will cost it £20m

International firms paying 12.5pc tax in Ireland must pay a ‘top-up’ tax at home

The implementation of a new 15pc global minimum tax rate will cost Barclays Bank around £20m (€23m) a year – because the UK headquartered global bank will top up taxes paid at lower rates in Ireland, the Isle of Man and Guernsey.

Economy faces growing risks from global financial markets, Bank warns


The UK economy is facing heightened risks from vulnerabilities in global financial markets amid rising political tensions and higher interest rates, the Bank of England has said.

But households and businesses have remained resilient despite cost-of-living pressures.

The Bank’s Financial Policy Committee (FPC) found some risks to financial stability globally have increased since it last met in December.

Valuations across a range of assets have been rising even though economic conditions remain stretched.

For example, interest rates have risen to higher-than-expected levels and the geopolitical environment has worsened, largely in the Middle East.

But the FPC suggested these heightened risks are not being reflected in investors’ valuations, meaning there could be a knock-on effect on market stability should conditions get worse, rather than better.

This is already the case in sectors such as commercial real estate, particularly in China, where vulnerabilities have begun to “crystallise”.

The Bank’s experts also said high public debt levels in major economies could have an impact on financial stability in the UK.

Meanwhile, the committee said the outlook for UK households has slightly improved since the end of last year, even though households remain under pressure from increased living costs and higher interest rates.

Rising wages have helped strengthen household finances, and mortgage rates have come down slightly since December.
