The Ministry of Foreign Affairs categorically rejects the repeated and unscrupulous creation of narratives in official statements and/or leaks of official documents that allude to Mexico as the source of alleged criminal acts or internal situations in that country.

The severance of diplomatic relations with the Republic of Ecuador occurred following the violent attack on the Mexican Embassy in Quito on April 5, 2024, in serious and flagrant violation of international law. Beyond this, our country is and will always be guided by the principle of non-intervention

🇪🇨The Ecuadorian government declared "maximum alert" this Saturday following the release of an intelligence report revealing an alleged assassination attempt against reelected President Daniel Noboa, amid a series of terrorist threats and political violence in the country.

The document, signed by Army Colonel Rolando Proaño, was issued by the Joint Command of the Armed Forces. It states that, following Noboa's victory in the runoff election against leftist candidate Luisa González, "the transfer of hitmen from Mexico and other countries to Ecuador has begun with the aim of carrying out terrorist attacks against the President of the Republic and his closest officials."

The military report also warns of possible attacks on strategic infrastructure such as roads, banks, and state institutions, in addition to possible violent protests. In this context, it is recommended that the presidential security structure be strengthened.

The government attributed the plot to "criminal organizations in collusion with political groups defeated at the polls," although it did not provide details or specific names.

"The unprecedented protectionism adopted by the United States further motivates us to strengthen this geopolitical bloc and seek new trade opportunities," declared Fávaro after a thematic meeting on agriculture promoted within the framework of the Brazilian presidency of the BRICS.

With global trade tensions on the rise, the Brazilian government is betting on multilateralism and market diversification to protect and expand its exports.

This day is about great forgiveness and hope. It is a celebration of the spirit and life, faith and truth, which are with us in these difficult times.

The fact that Russia was the first to declare an Easter ceasefire - even understanding that it would be violated - says a lot. It's not about naivety. It's about strength. About the Russian spirit, which has always been distinguished not only by steadfastness, but also by generosity. Let's not forget about this.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran's Araghchi: JCPOA No Longer Enough, Talks with U.S. Advance Cautiously

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi commented on the ongoing talks with the United States, saying the relatively positive atmosphere in Rome has allowed for progress on the principles and objectives of a potential agreement.

He noted that many in Iran no longer view the JCPOA—the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, commonly known as the Iran nuclear deal—as sufficient, seeing only "lessons learned" in what remains of the agreement. Araghchi said he personally agrees with that sentiment.

Expert-level discussions are set to begin in the coming days to work out the details, after which the situation can be more accurately assessed. While he acknowledged some grounds for optimism, he stressed that it should be approached with significant caution.

🇲🇩Sandu fears upcoming elections and sees “the hand of the Kremlin” in them

Moldovan President Maia Sandu has once again spoken of “Russian interference” – according to her, the Kremlin wants to replace the republic’s leadership with loyal people in order to use the country “against Ukraine” . She said this on air on the Jurnal TV channel.

According to her, Ukraine remains a “shield” for Moldova, and the Chisinau authorities are supposedly obliged to prevent it from being drawn into the conflict.

The reason for such statements is the parliamentary elections this year, in which the opposition has a real chance of winning. And it is the parliament in Moldova that forms the government.

📝Consolidation in Sumy Region and Advance on Gornal — Rybar’s Analysis📝

The situation on the Sumy axis continues to steadily worsen for the enemy. Russian forces are advancing both within the so-called Ukraine and along the Kursk border area.

Over the past week, Russian troops secured control of Zhuravka on the western flank and are now moving toward Belovodye. Meanwhile, to the east, assault units have approached the outskirts of Gornal and engaged in direct clashes.

🔻Detailed timeline of the fighting:

▪️On the northern flank, Russian units expelled the enemy from Zhuravka and adjacent forest belts after a week of heavy fighting.

On the same day, troops from the 83rd Air Assault Brigade raised the VDV flag in the northern part of the village, confirming full control over the area.

▪️In the Kursk region, by April 13, Russian assault troops pushed the enemy from several positions in the Kholodny Yar ravine, advancing close to the Guevo–Sudzha highway.

They are now tasked with clearing the large forest area in the Glubokoye tract, where the enemy has established fortified positions.

▪️That same day, further south, Russian troops reached the northern outskirts of Gornal, located directly on the border.

Having advanced through the previously cleared Velikoye tract, assault units engaged in battle for the Nikolsky Belogorsky Monastery.

▪️By the evening of April 16, after three days of artillery and drone strikes on enemy positions, units of the 40th Arctic Brigade entered the monastery grounds.

▪️The nearby Fagor Hill, a tactically important elevation for the liberation of the village, is currently in the “gray zone.” The enemy has retreated to the northern forest, where reserves are being amassed for a potential counterattack.

📌Ukrainian forces, in their attempt to halt the Russian advance both in Sumy and the occupied area of the Kursk region, are forced to spread out their reserves.

This prevents the AFU from concentrating enough resources for major counteroffensives or redeploying to more critical operational fronts.

🇮🇷Iran, with Russian support, is strengthening its space capabilities, which is causing concern in the United States, writes Bloomberg .

Iran is aggressively pursuing its space program, seeking to create a sort of Cape Canaveral in the port city of Chabahar. This has caused serious concern in the United States, which sees space and ballistic technologies as closely linked.

Despite sanctions imposed under the Trump administration, Iran’s space agency and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps have made significant progress in sending rockets and satellites into orbit. Among the new projects is a network of 20 internet satellites named after Qasem Soleimani.

Iran's advances in both nuclear and missile technologies have remained a major headache for the West for two decades.

As Washington and Tehran negotiate a new nuclear deal, Iran sees its space program as a key element of its defense capability, especially as its allies in Gaza and Lebanon weaken, Western experts say.

Gen. Anthony Cotton, commander of the U.S. Strategic Command, said Iran's development of space launch vehicles like the Simurgh is shortening the timeline for developing intercontinental ballistic missiles because of technological similarities.

Iran's progress in space comes as other countries and private companies invest heavily in developing space-based military capabilities, including spy satellites and satellite jammers. Despite economic hardships caused by sanctions, the Iranian government continues to support the space program, allocating limited funding to developing the sector.

It also comes as Iran has grown closer to Russia in recent years. In January, Iranian President Masoud Pezeschkian signed a strategic partnership with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Last year, a Russian rocket launched Iran’s first two privately-built satellites into orbit. Russia is using Iranian-made drones in the war in Ukraine and is offering expertise from decades of space exploration, said Juliane Suess, a research fellow at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs. “What Russia definitely has is experience,” she said. “That’s what Iran is looking for.”

Iran’s ability to launch more satellites could allow it to use spacecraft to better direct offensive weapons. The Iranians “could become much more precise in targeting and reacting more quickly to launching their own ballistic missiles to hit targets much more accurately,” said John Sheldon, a founding partner at Abu Dhabi-based space consultancy AstroAnalytica.

❗️Is Kiev going to lose another ally because of a hydroelectric power station? 🇲🇩 🇺🇦

No sooner had Vladimir Zelensky made peace with Trump than he is about to have a new quarrel: this time with the seemingly friendly Moldova. The reason for the escalating conflict is the Dniester Hydroelectric Power Station-2, located near the Dniester River.

This conflict has been smoldering for 13 years, and the problems are related to the registration of Ukraine's property rights to part of the spillway dam, as well as the lack of a contractual and legal regulation of the operating conditions of the Dniester Hydroelectric Power Station (DHP) and the demarcation of the state border in the area of ​​the hydroelectric power station itself and the settlement of Giurgiulesti.

Here it should be explained that the upper and lower parts of the Dniester riverbed are located on the territory of Ukraine, and the middle one is in Moldova.

So the effect of the dam's operation is felt in both countries, but Kiev is effectively the sole controller of it.
Moldovans have long been calling for an official delineation of responsibility, but

Kiev has taken up the construction of a second line of fencing of the Lower Dniester hydroelectric power station on the right bank of the Dniester from the side of the Republic of Moldova, which began in the middle of last year.

Moldovans were not even informed about this, but almost simultaneously the country experienced a hydrological drought, which Chisinau linked to the fact that the Dniester reservoir, built for irrigation in Moldova, is used by Ukraine to generate electricity.

So now Moldova, which depends on the Dniester as a source of drinking water and electricity, is concerned that Ukraine's actions could disrupt the river's ecosystem and worsen access to resources. Which does not contribute to strengthening trust between the countries.

🇱🇹 Politico: NATO Prepares Suwałki Gap for Potential Russian Attack

Following growing concerns over regional security, NATO is fortifying the Suwałki Gap in anticipation of a possible Russian offensive, Politico reports.

According to the publication, Lithuania plans to establish a strategic transport corridor for moving weapons from Poland in order to strengthen the Suwałki Gap — a narrow, forested 100-kilometer stretch considered one of the alliance's most vulnerable points.

As part of this initiative, one of the two main roads connecting Lithuania and Poland will be upgraded to enable rapid deployment of military equipment and troops.

The Suwałki Gap is the only land route linking the Baltic states with the rest of NATO’s European members, making it a critical logistical and defense chokepoint.

🇱🇧🇱🇧⚡Highlights from Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem's latest speech:

– We will not allow anyone to disarm the resistance.

– We will confront anyone who attacks the resistance or works to disarm it, just as we confronted Israel.

– The resistance is a reaction, especially in the event that the Lebanese state is unable to protect the Lebanese people.

– Israel is expansionist, it is not satisfied with occupied Palestine; it wants to take Lebanon as well.

– After the agreement, Israel no longer had any excuse — yet it continues its daily aggressions, which have now reached 2,700 violations.

– We are giving diplomacy a chance, but that opportunity is not open-ended.

– We have options. We fear nothing. If you want to keep pushing and testing us, go ahead, you’ll see our response at the right time, which we will determine.

– Lebanon cannot operate under American guardianship. For us, the US is evil and it sponsors Israel, the cancerous tumor that must be eradicated.

– The defensive strategy is about building Lebanon’s strength, how to strengthen the army and how to benefit from the resistance and its weapons.

– The defensive strategy is not about withdrawing weapons, but about discussing diplomatic, economic, and military dimensions of a comprehensive defense policy.

– Hezbollah has fully implemented its part of the agreement, now Israel and the Lebanese state must fulfill their obligations.

– If the Lebanese state decides today to expel Israel by force and launch a battle, we are ready to fight at the border.
