Zelensky Says ‘Build The Wall’: Ukraine Erecting 2,000km of Fortifications on Front Lines
Ukraine’s President Zelensky has more or less indicated he’s ready to build the wall—to borrow the old Trump phrase…
He announced on Telegram Monday that he has ordered the construction of some 2,000 kilometers of fortifications in order to solidify the front lines with Russian forces. He touted the good “pace of construction of new defense lines.”
He reviewed the status of the fortification in a meeting with military commanders and ministers following approval of a “record amount” of funds allocated for the fortification efforts, at between $500 and $800 million.
According to Ukrainian media reports, “In the fall of 2023, the authorities received criticism for slow progress on fortifying defensive lines. A working group was established in November to coordinate fortification efforts.”
Zelensky is busying trying to paint an optimistic picture of how his forces are fairing on the battlefield, after months of Western media reports that the Ukrainians have steadily lost ground, especially after abandoning Avdiivka in the east to the better-armed and more numerous Russian army.
The Wall Street Journal has detailed that “West of Avdiivka, excavators more common to a construction site than a battlefield are carving up the earth to create antitank ditches and trenches. The Ukrainians are attempting to replicate the physical obstacles that Russia created on its side of the front more than a year ago, with deadly effectiveness in stymying Ukraine’s offensive last summer.”
Zelensky has been urging private donors to fund the ambitious undertaking: “On all the main fronts, we need to dig in, speed up the pace of construction,” he has underscored. “The priority is obvious.”
It became evident starting last summer that the Ukrainian counteroffensive had failed, but now it’s becoming more clear by the day that Kiev forces are being steadily pushed back. The WSJ acknowledged this in an investigative report days ago…
“But Western officials and Ukrainian soldiers say that the campaign hasn’t yielded significant results, and the absence of progress is proving a liability for Ukraine as Russia steps up its assaults,” WSJ wrote. “In recent days it has pushed Ukrainian forces out of a string of villages west of Avdiivka, although hills and bodies of water a little further west can serve as natural obstacles for Kyiv that are easier to defend.”
With not enough troops to hold and advance positions, front line areas resemble large construction sites…

So this means the half-billion dollar plus “wall” or military fortifications could prove too little, too late in terms of preparing the battlefield space. Ukraine is bracing for another major Russian ground assault at some point this spring.
On the Russian side, the Kremlin’s aim has been to solidify gains, particularly over the four annexed territories in the east, while sending sporadic major air assaults in retaliation for Ukrainian cross-border attacks on Russian cities and energy infrastructure. These operations have stepped up particularly in Crimea and the Black Sea, where Russia has reportedly lost a couple of small warships.
Pilots Fell Asleep Mid-Flight With 157 People Onboard – Report
Both pilots of a domestic Indonesian flight from Kendari to the capital Jakarta on January 25 were asleep for almost half an hour during the two-hour and 35-minute-long flight, a preliminary investigation has found.
The plane veered off its designated course during the 28 minutes that both the pilot and co-pilot were asleep, according to the report.
The country’s National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT) probe into the Batik Air flight, which carried 157 people, acknowledged that the plane eventually landed safely at its destination.
The KNKT report did not identify the pilots, only describing the captain as a 32-year-old and second-in-command as a 28-year-old. Both are Indonesian citizens and both had reportedly passed health checks and tested negative for alcohol.
However, according to media reports, the co-pilot had notified the captain earlier in the day that he had not had “proper rest.” The KNKT report highlighted that the man had one-month-old twins and had moved residences the day before the flight and was thus struggling with a lack of sleep.
According to the report, about 30 minutes after takeoff the captain asked his co-pilot for permission to rest and woke up just under an hour later. He then asked whether his cockpit mate wanted to sleep himself but after receiving no for an answer went back to sleep while the latter remained in control of the aircraft.
Meanwhile, the co-pilot later “inadvertently fell asleep” after making contact with Jakarta’s air traffic control center. According to the report, air traffic control repeatedly tried to contact the cockpit but received no response for 28 minutes until the captain woke up and realized that the aircraft “was not on the correct flight path.”

The pilot put the flight back on track, and the plane went on to safely land in Jakarta. No one was injured and there was no damage to the aircraft.
According to the news agency AFP, Indonesia’s civil aviation director, Maria Kristi Endah Murni, said the Transportation Ministry “strongly reprimands” Batik Air over the incident and that the two pilots have been placed on leave according to standard operating procedure pending a further investigation.

Boeing Whistleblower Found DEAD in Parking Lot From ‘Self-Inflicted’ Gunshot Wound
A former Boeing worker who blew the whistle on commercial airliner quality control issues was found dead in a hotel parking lot over the weekend, as the aviation company has recently been making headlines with numerous terrifying incidents.
On Saturday, police in Charleston, South Carolina, discovered the body of former Boeing quality control manager John Barnett, 62, in his vehicle dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
According to the BBC, Barnett was in Charleston last week testifying in depositions surrounding his ongoing litigation with Boeing, accusing the company of “denigrating his character and hampering his career.”
“He had been due to undergo further questioning on Saturday. When he did not appear, enquiries were made at his hotel,” reports the BBC.

“He was subsequently found dead in his truck in the hotel car park.”
For years, Barnett had been raising concerns about problems he observed while working at Boeing’s North Charleston plant, warning the BBC in 2019 that, as a result of hasty mass production, the company’s 787 Dreamliner fleet had numerous safety issues, including that some planes had been improperly retrofitted with “sub-standard” salvaged parts.
Barnett had additionally called attention to issues with the company’s emergency oxygen systems.
The faulty systems meant if there was a sudden cabin decompression issue mid-flight, up to one in four oxygen supply masks delivered to passengers may not work.
Barnett said he raised the concerns to supervisors to no avail.
“A 2017 review by the FAA upheld some of his concerns, requiring Boeing to take action,” notes the Daily Mail.
Barnett had also been speaking up in regards to other problems at Boeing, including the reported removal of inspection operations which he claimed led to cascading issues.
Totally NOT suspicious.

“We are saddened by Mr. Barnett’s passing, and our thoughts are with his family and friends,” Boeing said in a statement.
Skeptical social media users questioned whether Mr. Barnett could be a victim of corporate murder.
“Totally normal,” remarked Colin Rugg on X, with commentator Elijah Schaeffer also writing, “Totally NOT suspicious.”
The whistleblower’s death comes as Boeing’s planes have been at the center of numerous negative headlines over the past few months, including at least 5 incidents last week which included a tire falling off mid-takeoff, a plane that suffered landing gear failure, and a horrific mid-air engine fire.

Exposed! Gov’t Contractors Deliver Illegal Alien Children to Foster Homes Accused of Sexual Assault
Government contractors were caught on video escorting illegal alien children from LaGuardia airport to shady foster homes in the middle of the night, footage by Muckraker journalists reveals.
“Muckraker has obtained never-before-seen footage of government contractors escorting illegal alien children through LaGuardia Airport and into foster homes in the middle of the night,” the group posted on X Monday.
The video shows the journalists asking the workers putting the kids into black vans where they were headed, but the workers ignored them.

After following the van, and getting stonewalled by more contractors when asked questions, they arrived at several foster care facilities.
The journalists described how the unaccompanied children trafficked into the U.S. means big business for the foster care system.
“The illegal alien foster home system is an industry worth billions of dollars,” the group wrote. “Unaccompanied children who are trafficked into the United States via the southern border are a major revenue stream for foster homes across the country.”
Muckraker went on to claim that 75% of the foster homes they recorded the illegal alien children being sent to faced “serious sexual assault allegations.”
“We witnessed deliveries of children from LaGuardia Airport to four New York foster homes in the middle of the night. Three of the four homes are facing serious sexual assault allegations, and all of them receive millions of dollars in federal funding,” the group noted, citing lawsuits.
Lawsuits against the New York-based The Children’s Village foster home claims 28 alleged victims were brutally abused by staffers and older children.
Another lawsuit against St. Christopher’s Inc. alleges the plaintiff who was placed there was sexually abused by a staffer over 100 times.
Despite the disturbing allegations, these foster homes still receive hundreds of millions of dollars in government subsidies.
This comes just weeks after 28 attorneys general sent a letter to the Biden administration demanding answers about 85,000 migrant minors who’ve gone missing in the U.S. since 2022, according to figures from the Department of Health and Human Services.
“The Department of Health and Human Services must ensure that it is not handing over children to criminals and sex traffickers,” the letter states.
“It cannot do so if it does not know to whom it is handing these children. Even worse, is that it appears to have no idea where those children are being sent. Missing children must be identified, and potential sponsors must be vetted,” the letter concluded.
