| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [REGNUM] Croatia has nothing to do with the crisis in Ukraine, and in the event of an escalation of the conflict between Moscow and Kiev, Zagreb will withdraw all Croatian soldiers from Ukrainian territory. This was announced on January 25 by Croatian President Zoran Milanovic . "I read reports according to which NATO is increasing its presence and sending some reconnaissance vessels. We have nothing in common with this and will not have anything in common, I guarantee you that. We will not send anyone, and if there is an escalation, we will recall everyone to the last Croatian military," the HRT channel reports Milanovic’s words. According to the Croatian president, the conflict in Ukraine is by no means connected with Russia, but with "the dynamics of American domestic politics and President Biden." He noted that the new US administration is enduring pressure from its own "hawks" and Republicans, who demand that Biden pursue a tough course towards Moscow. "These events take place in the 'hallway' of the Russian capital – Moscow. A solution that will take into account Russia's security interests must be found. There are methods to preserve Ukraine as an integral state, or at least 99% of its territory, and at the same time provide it with economic assistance," Milanovich believes. Recall that earlier the leadership of Croatia advised Kiev to resolve the issue with the DPR and LPR, taking into account the Croatian experience in relation to the Republic of Serbian Krajina, which was destroyed in 1995 as a result of Operation Storm. Croatia is a member of the North Atlantic Alliance. |

| #5 Sure beats Brandon getting everyone killed over his business contacts. I didn't like that report yesterday about somebody trying to goat Russian troops into launching an attack, "Because the US has already attacked using cruise missiles so get in the game." |

| #3 Good move. What *possible* benefit to the Croatian people would getting involved in a war bring? They have experience in this. The last time they got involved in a war in a distant foreign land, it didn't end well for them. That's called learning from history, and it is to be applauded. Apparently America didn't do that. This is to be deplored. |
