The Russian invasion The battles
Russia wanted to neutralize Ukraine in a peace treaty
Barely two weeks after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Russia presented a proposal to end the war through complete Ukrainian surrender. This is reported by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, whose department for investigative journalism, Systema, took note of the Russian "peace agreement".
Russia's proposal, dated March 7, 2022, contained, among other things, demands that the Ukrainian army be reduced to 50 000 soldiers. They also demanded a ban on Ukraine developing or deploying robotic systems and the recognition of Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk as Russian territories.
Russia expert Eric Ciaramella tells the site that Russia demanded "neutralization of Ukraine, not neutrality".
- Russia's goal from the beginning has been to destroy Ukraine's ability to defend itself, he says.

The floods in Spain
An "unpredictable" bill awaits Spain after the storm
It is too early to assess what the catastrophic floods in Spain will cost, but the bill will be "extremely high". This is what Celedonio Villamayor, head of the fund responsible for paying out money after natural disasters, told local channel TVE according to AFP.
The head of the Valencia Chamber of Commerce, Jose Vicente Morala, estimates that the costs could exceed SEK 100 billion. The trade union Asaja describes the losses as "incalculable".
More than 210 people were killed as the rain disaster swept away houses, cars and filled spaces with water.

The Middle East crisis Israel-Iran
Israel braces for Iranian attack - IDF on alert
Israel's defense force, the IDF, has raised its readiness for an Iranian revenge attack. This is reported by the Jerusalem Post, which spoke to sources within the military. After Israel's robot attack, Iran has promised to respond, and according to diplomats in the region, a "powerful and complex" response is planned.
According to consistent media reports, Iran has planned a possible attack even before the presidential election in the United States. The IDF sources state that they are not aware of any timetable for the Iranian attack.
- Despite various reports in foreign media, there is no confirmed information about the exact time of a response, says a source to the newspaper.
At the same time, the armed forces have not ruled out that an attack could be carried out from Syria, Yemen or Iraq, rather than from Iran.
