Donetsk, Apr 20 – DAN. Russia-led coalition has taken 30 townships under control, the DPR Territorial Defence HQ said.

💬 "As of April 20, the DPR forces with assistance of the Russian armed forces liberated and established total control over 167 towns," the report reads.

Among the liberated towns are Rovnopol, Novosyolka, Makarovka, Storozhevoye. Over the past day, DPR liberated Novoandreyevka, Stepnoye, and Kropivnitskoye in the Volnovakha district. Russia started a special military operation to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine on February 24. Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the decision was made after the DPR and LPR Heads addressed him asking for help. The Russian leader said that Moscow is not planning to occupy Ukrainian territory, the only goal is to protect people who have been continuously shelled and subjected to other forms of genocide by Ukraine for eight years.


Permalink Westminster Magistrates' Court Issues Order to Extradite Assange to US

Lawyers for Julian Assange argued that the WikiLeaks founder had not yet exhausted his options to challenge the decision to extradite him, pointing out that "the troubling circumstances in which requesting states can provide caveated guarantees after the conclusion of a full evidential hearing" were not taken into consideration.

The London court made a formal decision to extradite Julian Assange to the United States on Wednesday. However, the final decision is to be made by the UK government. The order was issued at a brief hearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court, with Assange forced to watch via video link from Belmarsh prison. During the hearing, his supporters rallied outside the court building, demanding freedom for the WikiLeaks founder.

WikiLeaks tweeted that the defence team has until 18 May to challenge the decision and make representations to Home Secretary Priti Patel before makes her decision on the ruling. Should he be extradited to the United States, where he is accused of espionage, Assange faces up to 175 years behind bars. WikiLeaks' chief editor Kristinn Hrafnsson said that by issuing the extradition order, the Westminster Magistrate's Court had signed Assange's death sentence.

Russia launched the special operation in Ukraine on 24 February in order to stop the eight-year-long war in Donbass waged by Kiev's troops. The Russian forces have targeted Ukrainian military infrastructure with high-precision weapons, while the DPR and LPR started reclaiming the territory of their Republics.

Permalink First-ever talks: Pentagon completing integration of EU into transatlantic military network

U.S. and European Union officials are preparing a new meeting later this month officials hope will tie the two global players closer together on defense.

The event is meant to open an additional trans-Atlantic channel on security matters and complement similar communications already happening via NATO, officials have said. Having such a forum specifically for the trade-minded European Union would energize the bloc’s defense ambitions and signal Washington’s link to the continent on yet another level, the thinking goes. Speaking at the Atlantic Council think tank earlier this month, Charles Fries, a senior official at the EU diplomatic service, said the “dialogue on security and defense” would happen later in April in Brussels.
