Ukraine (bbabo.net), - One of the Islamists fighting on the side of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is suspected of murdering the British mercenary Daniel Burke. This was reported by The Daily Telegraph newspaper with reference to investigation data.
Burke, 36, disappeared in Zaporozhye in early August 2023, and Ukrainian authorities discovered his body in September. According to the publication, the main suspect in the case is Islamist Abdelfetah Nurin, who has Australian and Algerian citizenship and fought on the side of the Ukrainian Armed Forces along with a British mercenary.
Burke, who lived in Manchester, came to Ukraine in 2022. The newspaper indicated that he was shot in the head and neck from behind. According to British coroner Zak Golombek, Nurin admitted to being “involved in the shooting,” but said it was an “accident.”
It is noted that Nurin’s whereabouts are unknown. The publication recalled that Burke previously fought as part of the Kurdish units of the People's Self-Defense Forces in Syria against militants of the terrorist organization Islamic State* (banned in the Russian Federation).

The US will leave NATO if Trump wins the election, his ex-adviser said
USA (bbabo.net), - Former US President Donald Trump, if he wins the elections in November, will initiate the process of the country's withdrawal from NATO. Trump's former national security adviser John Bolton said this on March 28 in an interview with Le Figaro newspaper.
According to a former adviser to Trump, the former president considers the proposed US withdrawal from NATO to be the pinnacle of his political career. Trump is looking for a political team that will be much tougher on NATO than he has been in the past.
Bolton noted that in 2018, Trump was already considering the possibility for Washington to leave the alliance, which caused a mixed reaction among the European allies of the United States of America. That same year, Trump noted that most Americans had never even heard of some NATO countries, the ex-adviser said.
However, Bolton added that Trump has no political philosophy and does not engage in political analysis or decision-making in the traditional sense. For him, everything is episodic, anecdotal, transactional, and everything depends on how it will benefit Trump: political or personal.
In addition, commenting on Trump’s words that he could resolve the Ukrainian conflict in 24 hours by bringing together the leaders of the Russian Federation and Ukraine in negotiations, Bolton expressed the opinion that this is impossible in the current political discourse. He emphasized that since Trump “never loses,” he will place the blame for failure on one of the parties. According to Bolton, it is highly likely that it will be Vladimir Zelensky, which “will put Ukraine at risk.”
