2 hours ago Macron blames Ukraine for intensifying European farming crisis

French President Emmanuel Macron today blamed war-torn Ukraine for intensifying the European agricultural crisis by exporting sub-standard produce.

He spoke out on Tuesday as farmers continued to besiege major cities including Paris as they demanded better pay and conditions, and a reduction in EU red tape.

At a press conference in Sweden, Mr Macron said: ‘We have asked for clear measures on imports from Ukraine, because today we have things in volume and quality that are destabilising the European market, whether it comes to chickens or cereals.’

Saying it was ‘facile’ to blame all farming problems on the EU, Mr Macron continued: ‘As far as poultry is concerned, it is indeed the arrival, in particular, of poultry that was much cheaper from Ukraine.’ In turn, one French union leader called for all imports from Ukraine - which has been at war with Russia for a decade - to be cut completely.

Franck Laborde, head of France’s AGPM association of maize producers, said cheap Ukrainian poultry was not reared to adequate standards.

“We are opening our doors wide in Europe to Ukrainian production so that they can finance the war,” he said. “This is not acceptable. Agriculture is being sacrificed on the altar of war.”

It came after riot police prevented a tractor convoy blockading the largest fresh food market in Europe as militant French farmers attempted to “starve Paris”.

They aimed to surround Rungis, to the south of Paris, in the early hours of Tuesday morning. This would have caused chaos to the city’s food supply, which can last for three days before crisis shortages are announced.

3 hours ago ICYMI: Putin’s troops ‘fatigued’ as Moscow bombs own territory again

Russian troops that are “fatigued” and “poorly trained” have mistakenly bombed their own territory for the fourth time in one month, the UK’s defence ministry has said.

In their latest intelligence update, the MoD said that Russian aircrafts accidentally discharged two unguided munitions on two Russian villages in the Belgorod area.

4 hours ago Ukraine’s strikes on targets inside Russia hurt Putin’s efforts to show the war isn’t hitting home

The wail of air raid sirens is commonplace in Belgorod, a Russian border city whose residents are on edge following a Ukrainian missile attack on a New Year’s holiday weekend that left dozens of people dead and injured.

A spectacular explosion rocked a huge fuel export terminal on the Baltic Sea southwest of St. Petersburg this month from a Ukrainian drone, forcing the energy company Novatek to suspend operations for several days.

Last week, an apparent drone attack in the Black Sea port of Tuapse in the southern Krasnodar region hit one of Russia’s largest refineries and ignited a fire, while another big refinery in the Volga River city of Yaroslavl, north of Moscow came under attack early Monday, but officials said there was no damage.

Ukraine's strikes on targets inside Russia hurt Putin's efforts to show the war isn't hitting home Ukrainian strikes on a Russian border city, as well as attacks elsewhere on fuel facilities and arms producers, have damaged President Vladimir Putin’s attempts to reassure his countrymen that their lives have been largely untouched by the nearly 2-year-old war

5 hours ago Top Ukrainian general ‘refused to step down’ as Zelensky rift deepens

Ukraine’s most senior military commander reportedly refused to step down after being asked to do so by president Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday.

Zelensky has denied claims he moved to dismiss Valerii Zaluzhny as tensions between the two appear to reach their boiling point after months of simmering.

On Monday, reports started emerging in Ukrainian news outlets, including Ukrainska Pravda, Ukrinform and The Kyiv Independent, as well as several leading Telegram channels, that the army chief was summoned by Zelensky.

The Financial Times cited four sources familiar with the situation claiming that the president offered the popular general a new role as a defence adviser but he refused.

7 hours ago UK ‘deeply concerned’ as jailed British activist goes missing from Siberian prison

Foreign secretary David Cameron said he was “deeply concerned” by the disappearance of British-Russian journalist and activist Vladimir Kara-Murza, who is reportedly missing from a jail in a Siberian city where he is serving a 25-year sentence.

The 42-year-old Kremlin critic was lodged in a prison in the Omsk region where he being held in solitary confinement. Efforts by his wife and lawyers to reach him in person and through letters failed, and jail authorities have now said Mr Kara-Murza is no longer present in the facility.

A letter sent to him by political journalist and activist Alexander Podrabinek was returned with a note saying that Mr Kara-Murza was no longer being held there.

8 hours ago Ukraine's new 100-mile bomb from Boeing is ready, sources say

After successful testing in the US, Ukraine will soon receive it first big batch of long-range missiles made by Boeing that promise to extend its range deep into Russian-held territory, according to sources familiar with the matter.

They could arrive “on the battlefield” as soon as Wednesday, Politico reported.

Ukraine needs Boeing’s Ground Launched Small Diameter Bombs (GLSDB) to augment the limited number of 100-mile range Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) rockets the US has sent.

The glide-bomb will allow Ukraine‘s military to hit targets at twice the distance reachable by the rockets it now fires from the U.S.-supplied High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) and could force Russia to move supplies even farther from the front lines.

“It’s long past time to finding creative means to provide the capability and capacity needed to strike deep and often behind Russian lines,” said Tom Karako, a weapons and security expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
