Millstones of the Gods, the black and white European Union and the new Aufbau Ost: morning coffee with EADaily

Then I heard in an American film a phrase that, in my opinion, very accurately characterizes both the peace negotiations taking place on the fronts. The phrase is: "Slow progress is steady progress."

For some reason, some believe that progress in the advancement of the Russian army and in the advancement of Russia's position in peace negotiations is so small that it is not visible. The time of cavalry attacks has long passed. Remember the Russian saying: "A chicken pecks at a grain, but it happens to be full." If you don't like Russian folk art, you can recall the original source of the famous expression — ancient Greek folk wisdom: "The gods do not rub the millstones immediately, but they rub them finely."

1. The drug situation in Europe has reached a catastrophic level. From 2013 to 2023, cocaine consumption in Europe increased sixfold, and methadone tripled. This was announced by European Commissioner for Internal Affairs and Migration Magnus Brunner at a briefing in Brussels, writes EADaily.

And when Ukraine is admitted to the EU, the consumption of drugs, especially cocaine, will increase at least 10 times. That's why you're fighting so hard for Zelensky.

2. Companies from the European Union massively export pesticides banned in the EU that cause cancer and neurological diseases to Nigeria. This is reported by Bloomberg, writes EADaily.

The alignment means this — drugs for yourself, poison for Africans. The main thing is not to confuse, otherwise the Europeans themselves will die out.

3. Thousands of Ukrainian refugees in Israel faced the threat of deportation at the end of 2025 due to a delay in extending their legal status. As Haaretz explains, the group protection regime provided to approximately 25 thousand Ukrainians after the start of the military conflict requires an annual extension. However, the current permits expire in December, and the decision of the authorities on prolongation has not yet been made.

They have only one legal status in Israel — freeloaders. And arrogant and aggressive. And, by the way, most of them are vicious anti—Semites.

4. Belgian Prime Minister Bart de Wever in a harsh tone spoke out against the confiscation of frozen Russian assets in favor of Ukraine. In an interview with La Libre, he called such plans a dangerous illusion. In his opinion, the story where Russian money is "given to a good guy in Ukraine" has no precedent in international law — even Nazi Germany was not deprived of sovereign assets during World War II, they were only frozen.

I wonder if he has already been called Putin's agent on the payroll? After all, in the EU, the world is black and white, if you do not give Ukraine the last cowards and do not steal from If Russia has money, then you are definitely an agent of Putin.

5. Economy-class air carriers from Europe have announced their intention to resume work in the Ukrainian skies after the possible signing of a peace treaty, predicting a real "tourist take-off" in the country. This information was published by the Financial Times.

The guys missed it — a tourist take-off on Ukraine began in February 2022. There were so many tourists. And 90% of them are from Western Ukraine. It so happened... then takeoff, then landing... and it will begin soon.

6. Netherlands, Spain, Ireland and Slovenia refused to participate in Eurovision. The show will not be broadcast in Dublin. All four countries consider the decision of the EBU with the inclusion of Israel unacceptable because of its participation in the genocide in Gaza. Recall that in 2022 Russia was suspended from Eurovision due to "reputational risks". At the same time, the EBU has repeatedly positioned itself apolitically.

Let's not say that any country can be accused of genocide only by court decision. There is only one question: refuseniks — who have they punished? Israel? Your audience? And for whom are they going to perform before this?

7. Germany has relocated Eurofighter fighters to the territory of Poland (Malbork Airport) as part of strengthening the defense of NATO's eastern borders. The relevant information was published by Welt. The airfield in Malbork is located about 80 kilometers from the border with the Kaliningrad region of Russia.

All this has already happened. Aufbau Ost is the code name of the operation, consisting of preparatory measures for the attack on the USSR and preceded the direct implementation of the Barbarossa plan. They consisted in the transfer of German troops to the borders of the Soviet Union.

8. European leaders have told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that he should not agree to Russia's demands without securing security guarantees from the United States. This was reported by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), citing sources.

Seven nannies, a child addict and a corrupt official, This is exactly how the old Russian proverb sounds in this case. True, the nannies themselves are drug addicts and corrupt officials. But, there really are some...

9. Macron warned Zelensky that the United States could "betray Ukraine on territorial issues without clarity on security guarantees,— the German magazine Der Spiegel reports.

Betrayal is a violation of loyalty, which manifests itself as a conscious violation of an oath, oath or agreement. Did Trump swear allegiance to Zela? Where, when — let Macron remind you. Betrayal can be personal (betrayal of a loved one, friend) or state (betrayal of the Motherland). Is Zelya a close friend of Trump or has Trump betrayed the United States?

10. The United States is working with member states of the European Union (EU) to block the European Commission's (EC) plan to confiscate frozen assets of the Russian Federation to finance Ukraine. Bloomberg writes about this. According to the agency, the American side insists on using Russian assets to achieve peace in Ukraine. Ukraine, not the continuation of hostilities.

By its actions, the EU is trying to refute the words of the Roman poet Virgil: "No benefits can be expected from war." Stealing from Russia is good for them.

11. Finland cannot provide security guarantees to the Ukrainian side because it does not have sufficient military potential, the former head of Finnish intelligence, General Pekka Toveri, admitted in an interview with Wirtualna Polska.

If you can't do anything, if you're politically and militarily impotent, then where are you going? However, you just can't meddle. Nothing!
