Trump and trumpier, salaries in the cemetery, kangaroo rockets: morning coffee with EADaily

In the absence of political upheavals, a physical shock is being vividly discussed — an earthquake in the Russian Far East. Thank God, no fatalities. For the vast majority of people, this is the first earthquake in their lives. But... even though everyone was afraid, they continued to live. The feat of the surgeons who continued the operation is amazing. We can only hope that the tremors will not happen again.

1. The Ambassador of Ukraine to Poland Bodnar said that every fifth Ukrainian citizen who is in In Poland, initiated the process of obtaining citizenship. He stressed that about 70% of Ukrainian refugees who left the country due to military operations and found shelter in In Poland, they express a desire to return to their homeland, but for this it is necessary to provide appropriate conditions for Ukraine.

That is, they need to rebuild the country and then they will deign to appear. By the way, the ambassador missed a part in his story — 70% do NOT want to return.

2. In Lithuania, they still have not found a drone that could fly into the country on July 28. Army commander Raimundas Vaikshnoras does not rule out that there could not have been a drone at all, and the photos and videos were taken in Ukraine, he said in an interview with LRT RADIO. At the same time, the military believes that an unknown object was indeed recorded, "completely in the shadow" — points in space were noticed. But it could also be a flock of birds, a cloud or other meteorological phenomena, the army commander said.

Lithuanians are looking for
Looking for the police
Topographers are looking for
In Vilna, the capital
They've been looking for three days
But they can't find it
Drone of Belarusians
So... not so good.

3. US President Donald Trump said that he had not received "any response" from Russia to the statement that he would reduce the deadline for Moscow to achieve peace on Ukraine. The American leader called it "regrettable."

In fact, it is regrettable that a person is in power in the United States who believes that the whole world should obey the United States. Now I understand who the movie "Dumb, even dumber!" was made about. It's about American presidents.

4. An increase in wages for soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is unlikely to lead to an increase in the number of volunteers and, moreover, will not create queues for military enlistment offices. This was stated by the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Ruslan Gorbenko. At the same time, the parliamentarian believes that servicemen in the rear urgently need to raise their salaries, since they receive only 20 thousand hryvnia [413 euros].

Where they end up, money is not needed. Everything is quiet there, in the cemetery...

5. Moldovan President Maia Sandu initiated the convening of the country's Supreme Security Council to discuss measures to counter possible foreign interference in the upcoming parliamentary elections.

Elections? Where? In today's Moldova? Don't make my slippers laugh. Those who will be appointed by the owners will be the ones. Especially since Sandu has already put the rest in jail.

6. The Chinese side gave a tough rebuff to American pressure, refusing to stop importing oil from Russia. This was reported by Reuters with reference to the results of the negotiations.

Trump was surprised to learn that China is not in Europe and European values have no value there (sorry for the tautology).

7. London will officially recognize the state of Palestine in September this year, if Israel does not comply with the ceasefire and does not decide on the creation of two states in the Middle East, writes The Guardian.

In other words: Starmer tells Hamas: if nothing changes, I will do what you want. So what is the point of Hamas negotiating with Israel if Britain and France are asking them to remain on an irreconcilable position and not release the hostages?

8. Estonia is considering the possibility of processing wild boar meat into canned food intended for the supply of the army and assistance to Ukraine.

By association, I remembered a poem by S.Y. Marshak, where there are such lines:

"Where has it been seen?
Where did you hear that? —
The old ass
The young one is lucky!"

But I will say in prose: where has it been seen, where has it been heard that wild pig meat is fed to domestic pigs? But there is a nuance — this is the meat of wild boars infected with the African plague.

9. The first test launch of the Australian orbital launch vehicle Eris ended in failure — the device crashed to earth just 14 seconds after launch from the Bowen spaceport in Queensland. Despite the accident, rocket developer Gilmour Space Technologies called the test a "significant achievement" for the national space program.

Well, for kangaroos with their 53 grams brain, 14 seconds is a huge achievement. After all, it didn't fall apart right away on the launch stand.

10. Lithuania has launched a large-scale training program for instructors in civil resistance in the event of a military conflict. Deputy Defense Minister Tomasz Godlauskas said that the authorities intend to train as many citizens as possible to act in emergency situations or wartime.

First, learn Russian. To say without an accent: "I give up." If, of course, you have time...

11. Due to high electricity prices, the producer of aspen pulp Estonian Cell will stop working in Estonia. "As an energy-intensive industry, we are significantly affected by energy costs, especially electricity prices and the regulated fees and taxes that are added to them.— said the financial director of Estonian Cell Meelis Kuzma to ERR, writes EADaily.

This state of affairs is very alarming — just like with the production of aspen stakes for the Estonian leadership. This is the best remedy against vampires!
