Russian Paratroopers Neutralize Foreign Mercenaries of Ukrainian Forces
Moscow - Saba: The commander of a combat vehicle belonging to the Russian Dnepr Group, whose call sign is "Sukhoi," announced the killing of four foreign mercenaries fighting alongside the Kyiv regime by Russian paratroopers. Sputnik quoted the Russian officer as saying, "I saw militants fighting alongside the Ukrainian armed forces, of foreign origin. I think there were Mexicans and African Americans among them. I personally saw about four people somewhere... I didn't see any of them alive." He indicated that he did not know the exact nationality of the mercenaries he saw, as they had already been killed and had no documents or identification. The Russian Ministry of Defense has repeatedly stated that the Kyiv regime is using foreign mercenaries as "cannon fodder," and the Russian military will continue to neutralize them throughout Ukraine. Those who came to fight for money have admitted in numerous interviews that the Ukrainian army did not coordinate their actions well, and that their chances of surviving the fighting were low, as the intensity of the conflict was not comparable to that of Afghanistan or the Middle East. Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova previously stated that the West had secured itself as a party to the Ukrainian conflict by sending mercenaries to participate in the hostilities. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov also confirmed that several countries were sending their professional military personnel to Ukraine under the guise of mercenaries.

Thousands protest in Paris demanding end to genocide in Gaza
Paris – Saba: Thousands of demonstrators marched through the streets of the French capital, Paris, on Saturday under the banner 'Stop the Genocide in Gaza,' in response to calls from pro-Palestinian organizations.

Chants echoed throughout the march, calling for an immediate halt to what participants described as the genocide perpetrated by Israel in the Gaza Strip. Several demonstrators were seen wearing accessories and bags marked with the watermelon symbol—now widely recognized as an emblem of solidarity with Palestine. The crowd also condemned the targeting of Palestinian journalists in Gaza by Israeli forces and called for a boycott of brands that support the Israeli occupation. Protesters demanded an end to the Israeli blockade to allow humanitarian aid into the besieged enclave. One participant wore a sign that read, 'I dream of seeing a free Palestine one day,' while another held a small doll covered in red, wrapped in a shroud—symbolizing the children killed by Israeli fire in Gaza.
