With the coronavirus pandemic disrupting traditional campaigning, candidates and supporters are increasingly turning to social media to reach voters, prompting concerns about online hate speech and disinformation.

Meanwhile, it also emerged Saturday that corpses of Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine are being moved from Belarus back to Russia by train and planes in the dead of night to avoid attracting attention.

That comes despite the US spending $200 billion on advanced military hardware and spying equipment for Ukraine, with the cash credited for helping the country successfully hold-off Russian advances far longer than anyone thought necessary.

Intelligence agencies are believed to have comprehensively infiltrated Russia's military and its leading spy agencies, offering considerable knowledge of upcoming maneuvers, as well as insights into how badly Putin's war is going.

March 19 (Reuters) - The Philippines´ presidential candidates debating on Saturday agreed on at least one thing and that was the need to hold social media firms liable for the spread of disinformation as the country prepares for elections on May 9.

Russia flagship Moskva was blown up by Ukrainian missiles last April and sunk in the Black Sea, leading to deaths of hundreds of servicemen. It was seen as a huge coup for Ukraine, whose forces have been given a steady stream of accurate intelligence on Russia that has proved devastating for Putin's war effort 

Pollsters said Macron's greatest challenge as the frontrunner may be a low turnout, with sympathizers not going to polling stations because they think he will win, while those angry at his policies would further mobilize.

Boris Johnson suggested the growingly desperate leader - who has yet to make any significant inroads in Ukraine - is being 'irrational', while Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte described him as 'totally paranoid'.

He vowed to push ahead with a controversial pension reform that would "progressively" raise the retirement age from 62 to 65, and suggested that people who start working at a young age would still be able to retire before 65.

An aide to jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny (pictured) today suggested Putin had massively miscalculated, predicting the 'unpopular' war and its economic consequences would lead to the 'demise' of his regime within five years.

It comes after Russia used its latest hypersonic missile - known as the Kinzhal - for the first time during its attack on Ukraine, a military spokesman said today, reportedly wiping out an underground warehouse storing Ukrainian missiles and ammunition in the western Ivano-Frankivsk region.

"It gives the impression that Macron in 2017 has been elected on a promise to renew (politics) and that Macron in 2022 wants to be elected on the promise of (having) experience," he said in an interview with French newspaper L´Opinion. Polls show most French, whether they intend to vote for him or not, consider he is up to the job, he stressed.

According to one US intelligence estimate, 7,000 Russian troops including four generals have already been killed - more than the number of American troops killed in either the Iraq or Afghanistan wars tutoring at home for kids 4,825 and 3,576 respectively - and between 14,000 and 21,000 troops have been injured in the fighting. The estimated Russian death toll is of a scale similar to that of the Battle of Iwo Jima, where 6,852 US troops were killed and 19,000 were wounded during five weeks of fighting Japanese forces in the most intense phase of the Pacific theatre of World War Two

Putin is said to be furious at the slow pace of his campaign, which he had hoped to end within days given his country's military superiority - on paper at least - and has fired at least eight generals since waging war on the former Soviet state, intelligence sources claim. 

Meanwhile, an aide to jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny today suggested Putin had massively miscalculated, predicting the 'unpopular' war and its economic consequences would lead to the 'demise' of his regime within five years.

And while support for funding Ukraine continues to have bipartisan support, news that US officials are often in the dark could raise questions over the sheer amount of resources that the White House continues to send to Eastern Europe.
