He presses

Propaganda channels of the terrorist militia ISIS publish a poster with another threat against Russia. The group vows to avenge the arrest of their „brothers.”

Updated from March 28 at 12:54 p.m: Putin says he has no plans to attack a NATO country. “We do not have any aggressive intentions towards these countries,” Putin said in a speech to Russian Air Force pilots, according to a text released today by the Presidential Office. “The idea that we would attack any other country – Poland, the Baltic states and the Czechs are also afraid – is complete nonsense.”

Meanwhile, Putin declared that F-16 fighter jets were legitimate targets. Putin said that its delivery and training of Ukrainian pilots by Western countries will not change the situation on the battlefield in Ukraine. Russia will destroy the planes, just as tanks, rocket launchers and other equipment provided by the West have already been destroyed.

After the Moscow attack: ISIS now directs its threats directly at Putin

The first report: Moscow – Russia is in shock Terrorist attack in Moscow Still deep. Investigations are still ongoing, as is the trial of the arrested perpetrators. Russia has not yet recovered from the attack at the Crocus City Hall concert hall, but the next threat from the ISIS terrorist militia has already arrived. The organization, which Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin says is responsible for the attack, vowed revenge for the arrest of the perpetrators of the bloody terrorist attack.

Terrorist attack in Russia: Terrorist militias deploy a new threat

Hours after the attack, which killed at least 137 people, Russian security forces arrested the four attackers after a chase in the Bryansk region. The men from Tajikistan belong to the ISIS-K terrorist militia, the Central Asian branch of the ISIS terrorist group. No other branch has been as active as ISIS-K in recent years. Videos showed that when they were arrested, the militants were beaten by Russian security forces. In addition, the men show signs of severe torture in photographs taken from the courtroom.

The terrorist organization seized this opportunity to spread a new threat against Russia through its propaganda channels on social media. This poster shows a masked man holding a knife in his hand. “Be careful, all the brutal Russians including Putin,” the terrorist militia threat begins. She added: “Stop torturing prisoners belonging to ISIS.” Referring to the attack in Moscow, the letter warns: “Do not think that we do not have the opportunity to take revenge on our captured brothers.”

A terrorist group threatens Russia with “deadly, bloody and devastating” attacks.

The poster also notes that footage of the torture of detained terrorists increases the „bloodlust of thousands of our brothers.” The terrorist militia vowed that the next attack „will hit Russia in the head so hard that future generations will remember it and even forget your current pain and wounds.” The organization announced “deadly, bloody and devastating” attacks.

In one of the videos of the arrest of the Moscow attackers, Russian soldiers can be seen cutting off the man's ear and forcing him to chew it. Meanwhile, more soldiers beat the man with their rifles as he rolled on the ground in pain while police dogs were unleashed on him. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov left questions about the recordings and torture allegations unanswered.

In any case, the threat posed by this terrorist group raises concern not only in Russia, but also in Europe. The head of the Russian domestic intelligence service FSB, Alexander Bortnikov, confirmed that the terrorist threat in Russia continues. Meanwhile, the French and Italian governments also raised the alert level in their countries. French Head of State Emmanuel Macron even offered Putin cooperation. (BB)

Millions for campaign coffers: Obama and Clinton help Biden record record donations

In the polls, Biden and Trump are neck and neck. When it comes to campaign donations, the current US president clearly has the lead. With the help of his party colleagues Clinton and Obama, Biden raised $25 million in one event.

A joint event with Barack Obama and Bill Clinton in New York brought President Joe Biden $25 million, equivalent to 23 million euros, to the campaign coffers. This was the highest amount ever raised through a single political event of this kind in the United States, the Biden campaign team announced before the event began today. Guests at Radio City Music Hall were able to determine their closeness to Biden and his Democratic predecessors in office by the amount of their donations.

The main point of the program for the event is a conversation between the three presidents on stage, moderated by late-night speaker Stephen Colbert. Musical performances include Queen Latifah, Lizzo and Ben Platt.

The cheapest tickets were $225. You'd have to dig deeper into your pockets to take a photo with the three presidents — and the asking price was $100,000. Anyone who donates $250,000 will be eligible to attend a major donor reception. $500,000 provides entry to a more exclusive tour.

Biden raises more money in one evening than Trump does in a month

“But the party is not over yet,” Biden’s campaign team promised. First Lady Jill Biden and DJ Dee Nice will host a party for 500 guests, also at Radio City Music Hall.

By supporting Obama and Clinton, Biden is expanding his advantage over his potential election opponent, Donald Trump, in terms of campaign money. As of the end of February, the incumbent president had $155 million in his campaign coffers, while Trump had just $37 million. That evening, Biden raised more donations than Trump did in the entire month of February.

The large donation amount not only helps Biden financially, but also symbolically as a sign of support for Democrats. Given his age in particular, some Democrats question whether the 81-year-old can beat Trump.

War in Ukraine: Four Russian ships were hit

On the night of March 23, Ukraine attacked the Russian Black Sea Fleet with missiles. According to Kiev, Ukrainian forces struck three large landing ships and one reconnaissance ship.

The Ukrainian attack on occupied Sevastopol in Crimea on the night of March 23 targeted several ships of the Black Sea Fleet and caused severe damage, Ukrainian officials said. In addition to the two large landing ships „Yamal” and „Azov”, the Ukrainian army struck the reconnaissance ship „Ivan Khorz” and the large landing ship „Kostyantin Olshansky”.

The Kostyantyn Olshansky was part of the Ukrainian naval fleet until 2014. It was one of several Ukrainian ships seized by Russian forces during the illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014.

Ukrainian Navy spokesman Dmytro Pletinchuk said the damage to the ship was still being assessed. But he said she was „not capable of fighting.” According to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, Russia wanted to use the ship against Ukraine. For this reason, Ukraine attacked Kostyantin Olshansky with a Ukrainian Neptune missile.

A few days before the weekend attack, the British Ministry of Defense assessed that the Russian Navy may have already moved to limit its operations in the eastern Black Sea to “protect the fleet” as its losses mount.
