Russian Navy accidentally hits fishing boat, authorities try to cover it up
A Russian #fishing #trawler was hit by a missile during Russia’s #Baltic Fleet military exercises, killing three and injuring four others, a relative of one of the dead men claimed to the Russian TV Rain on March 21.
After the incident, which reportedly occurred on March 19, Russian authorities blamed it on a fire onboard the “Captain Lobanov” boat and said only one person had died, TV Rain reported.
“When the survivors were taken away, everyone knew perfectly well that three people had died and everyone knew perfectly well that a rocket had hit,” the relative said to TV Rain.
Late afternoon. Different site, same sky. And the interesting insight in how much the grey one sees is affected by the grey one owns. // 366skies

"#Russia has now transformed to a wartime economy. #Nordic and #Baltic countries closest to Russia have got the message and are preparing."
An excellent article from Minna Ålander on how the Nordic and Baltic countries are preparing.
This should be happening everywhere in the #West.

Nordic-Baltic delegation visits US Congress in bid to shore up support for Ukraine
A delegation of representatives from Estonia, Iceland, Sweden, Denmark, Latvia, and Lithuania visited the U.S. Congress on Feb. 8 to advocate for a continued American commitment to Ukraine.
Many Republican lawmakers who ostensibly support Ukraine say that the U.S. must first secure its own southern border, but Congress has also failed to agree on immigration reforms, despite willingness from Democrats to offer significant concessions.
"We came here, obviously, to show unity, to show our commitment and hoping that the Americans would hear us," said Icelandic lawmaker Dilja Mist Einarsdottir.
"We are leaving America a little bit sad," she added.

NATO to conduct largest drills in decades with 90,000 troops
NATO will launch its most extensive military exercise in recent decades, involving about 90,000 troops, U.S. General Christopher Cavoli, the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, said
The Steadfast Defender 2024 drills will be held from late January to May with the participation of NATO members and Sweden. They will be the biggest since the Cold War, Reuters reported.
The exercises include simulated deployments of U.S. personnel to European countries on the alliance's eastern flank, as well as on-the-ground training.
"This reinforcement will occur during a simulated emerging conflict scenario against a near-peer adversary,"

Putin attempts to destabilize Baltic countries
Russian President Vladimir Putin sets conditions for future escalations in the Baltic countries as part of the alleged plan to weaken the NATO alliance - Institute for the Study of War (ISW)
“Putin has long employed an expansive definition of Russia’s sovereignty and trivialized the sovereignty of former #Soviet republics,” the ISW said. “Russia has long claimed that it has the right to protect its “compatriots abroad,” including ethnic Russians and Russian speakers beyond Russia’s borders.”

A YEAR OF LYING ABOUT NORD STREAM - Seymour Hersh
The Biden administration blew up the pipelines but the action had little to do with winning or stopping the war in Ukraine. It resulted from fears in the White House that Germany would waver and turn on the flow of Russia gas—and that Germany and then NATO, for economic reasons, would fall under the sway of Russia and its extensive and inexpensive natural resources. And thus followed the ultimate fear: that America would lose its long-standing primacy in Western Europe.
