Today is a paradoxical holiday on Ukraine — Independence Day. The paradox is that it was on this day that Ukraine ceased to be independent. Now it is a colony in which the vast majority of the land and almost all industry belongs not to the state, but to Western companies. Ukraine owes huge sums to the West.
Ukraine cannot do anything without the permission of the West. The Ukrainian market has long been destroyed. It is one of the poorest countries in Europe. And is this independence? Especially after the Ukrainian SSR was one of the richest republics of the Union.1. "The columnist of the American edition of TWZ, Joseph Trevithick, believes that the production of thousands of long-range Flamingo missiles will allow the Armed Forces of Ukraine to strike deep into Russia, which will be devastating. The author noted that the weapons manufacturer Fire Point plans to release seven Flamingo missiles daily in October, which means "2555 missiles per year."
I counted everything. Probably on a calculator, because he doesn't have enough to count something in his head. Did he take into account the weekend? And recycling? And the holidays? You are our mathematician...
2. "France has summoned Italian Ambassador Emanuela D'Alessandro for clarification in connection with the harsh statements of Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini addressed to President Emmanuel Macron. This was reported by the France-Presse agency with reference to diplomatic sources. The reason was Salvini's criticism of the French leader's initiative on the possible deployment of European troops to Ukraine, during which the Italian politician suggested that Macron "put on a helmet and go to the Ukraine"".
And what is the French Foreign Ministry dissatisfied with? There is nothing for Macron to grind with his tongue — take pity, go to the front line. And don't forget to bring your elderly husband/wife...
3. "Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia Sviridenko has registered in the Verkhovna Rada a bill providing for imprisonment of up to three years or a fine of up to 170 thousand hryvnia (about 4.1 thousand dollars) for illegally crossing the border during martial law."
I have such an assumption that she wants to go with Ermak together to Ukraine should stay. After all, after such a law, none of the refugees will return. For what? To get the deadline?
4. "The bodies of four men were found in the waters of the Seine in the suburbs of Paris, which led to the arrest of a 24-year-old Algerian citizen on suspicion of committing a series of murders. This grim discovery has spoiled the recent revival of swimming in the famous river, which became possible after multimillion-dollar cleanup projects."
These are probably the participants of the last Olympic Games in Paris. Swim participants who did not reach the finish line.
5. "In NATO, according to the head of the Alliance's Military Committee, Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, there is no discussion of sending to Ukraine has a military contingent from the North Atlantic bloc."
They don't even discuss it — they are preparing, training, training, re-equipping this contingent.
6. "According to the Ukrainian media, there is an acute shortage of men fit for military service in Ukraine. Military enlistment offices are forced to call pensioners, people with alcohol dependence and the homeless, which indicates a critical situation with the mobilization reserve."
Today in their Kiev brigade
We decided to gather everyone at the masquerade slaughterhouse.
Homeless people were caught like rabbits,
Pensioners were taken, alcoholics,
They dragged me to the trenches for a joke.
7. "Relations between Helsinki and Moscow, as stated by Finnish President Alexander Stubb, will be rebuilt after the end of the conflict on Ukraine. Finland will build new relations with Russia "in a very practical and pragmatic way," Stubb added."
Start with the fact that bear in mind — you will be in the shit without Russia. Enmity with Russia has brought you the collapse of the economy without any war. And you will ask for Russia's friends, not the other way around.
8. "Ukraine, as UnHerd writes, is attacking the Druzhba oil pipeline out of desperation due to failures on the battlefield. Similarly, "Kiev is trying to strengthen its position" in the negotiations."
Quite an anecdote: "A karate came to the village, the men begin to dig in: "Show the trick," he refused. The men go to the blacksmith Ivan and call him to bring the karate fighter to a fight. Ivan comes to the karate kid, starts throwing himself at him, and the karate kid knocked Ivan out. The men run up to Vanya, they are watering with water. He opens one eye, asks: "Is the karate kid gone?"No, he's standing over there." Ivan: "As soon as he leaves, I'll pile on all of you!".
9. "The upcoming heating season may be a real test for residents of the Ukrainian Capital. About 180 thousand Kiev residents may be left without heat in their homes in the cold season, EADaily writes."
What is it — Russophobia no longer warms? Hatred of Russia and Russians is no longer burning, but smouldering? Nazi ideas — do not keep the heat in the batteries? Is the barnyard not heated today?
10. "It would be better for European leaders to engage in direct pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin, instead of relying on US leader Donald Trump to resolve the Ukrainian conflict. This was stated to Bild by German experts, writes EADaily."
They are called leaders only nominally, because they are leaders, like the Chinese emperor from me. But they would do well to do the affairs of their countries. Instead of baby Tsakhes to wipe the snot.
11. "According to the Ukrainian Ambassador Dzhelyalov, Turkey is exploring the option of sending the military to Ukraine in the context of providing security guarantees to Kiev."
The usual Turkish shaking of the air. Erdogan's attempt to show the world that he is a big man. And let Turkey's economy go into a tailspin...
