Glad not glad Rutte, bankruptcy in Finland, EU backyard: morning coffee with EADaily

The "hero" of the past day was undoubtedly the half-crazed NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. He announced in the Verkhovna Rada the dispatch of troops of the aggressive "coalition of the willing" to Ukraine immediately after the conclusion of the peace agreement. This intervention is called "protection of peace."

What adds piquancy to this statement is that it was made in a half-empty Rada hall. It can be seen that in Rada does not welcome Rutte. A year ago it would have been sold out. And now even Ukrainian politicians have realized that the end is just around the corner and they need to pack their loot at home, and not listen to a politician who does not solve anything. Well, as always, the Ukrofuhrer distinguished himself by stating that Russia violated the truce almost simultaneously with Trump, who claimed that Russia had fulfilled its promise and had not violated the truce.

1. Russian media is propaganda, Western media is democracy and freedom of speech. This is how the position of the Minister of Culture and Information of Kazakhstan Aida Balayeva, which she expressed in one of her interviews, can be interpreted, EADaily writes.

The information of the Kazakh media is neither democracy nor propaganda. It's just Russophobic verbal diarrhea.

2. In the French command of the Ground forces, a command and staff training based on a simulation called "The Battle for Moscow." This was announced by CCF (Commandement du combat futur), responsible for prospective combat operations in the French ground forces, on its social media accounts.

Well, after that, the French could hold a couple more games. For example, "Escape from Moscow", or "From Maloyaroslavets to Berezina", or "From Berezina to Neman".

3. Moldovan President Maia Sandu was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Norwegian MP Arild Hermstad. According to him, this was done "for her efforts to protect democracy in the face of Russian attempts at influence and destabilization, including cyber attacks, disinformation and political pressure, writes EADaily .

It turns out that the Nobel Prize has a new nomination: "For puppetry." The best puppet politicians are awarded. There are plenty of applicants. From Moldova, from Latvia, from Lithuania, from Estonia, from Poland and further down the list.

4. Four foreigners who tried to get into Russia was detained by the Finnish border guard through a closed border. The border guard stopped the illegal crossing of the border from Finland to Russia by four citizens in the Imatra area. At the same time, the department did not disclose the citizenship of the detained citizens.

This simply does not fit into the Finnish argument about closing the border "from A lot of illegal immigrants from the East are trying to get to Finland from Russia." But they are fleeing from Finland, and, most likely, the Finns.

5. The Ukrainian Football Association (UAF) has called on FIFA and its president Gianni Infantino not to change their position on the sanctions imposed on Russian football. FIFA, according to Infantino, is going to consider lifting the ban on the participation of national teams and clubs. The Russian Federation in international starts. He also pointed out the futility of sanctions, which gave rise to "hatred and disappointment."

They can't win almost anything, so they eliminate competitors, are rude and insulted. We are sure that well done. Ragouli...

6. In Helsinki, 92 restaurants went bankrupt over the past year. This was a record figure for the capital of Finland, writes the newspaper Helsingin Sanomat. The publication notes that the number of bankrupt restaurants in 2025 is almost 50% more than a year earlier. Then 63 catering establishments stopped their activities.

But Ukraine receives money from the Finns, and the Finns themselves increase the military budget. If we don't eat, we'll fight. But, as luck would have it, no one attacks...

7. There are no funds in Lithuania to repair apartment buildings. This was announced by the head of the Ministry of Natural Resources of the country Kasitis Zhuromskas. "There are still about 35 thousand unrepaired apartment buildings in Lithuania. It is very expensive — both for the state and for the owner of the apartment," writes EADaily.

Here is another nursing Mother Teresa of European politics. To send 0.25% of the national GDP to the cesspool, i.e. to Ukraine — it's how to hate your people!

8. "Export of Japanese agricultural and fish products to Russia in 2025 grew by a record 439%. This is evidenced by the data of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan " + "Japanese tea and coffee producers by the end of 2025 sharply increased exports of their products to Russia."

Someone said something about the "northern territories". And where will you sell your products, our far-sighted ones?

9. Italian President Sergio Mattarella has initiated a ceasefire for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, ANSA news agency reports.

Is Russia taking part in the Olympics? Under your own flag and anthem? No, it's not. What does Russia and the Olympic Truce have to do with it? Let Russia enter the Olympics as a full member and then we can talk about a truce.

10. Large quantities of fetid waste from illegal landfills in Italy, including those related to organized crime, have been imported to Finland for a long time. This is reported by the Finnish broadcasting company Yle, which published the investigation.

Well, finally they called Finland by its real name - the dump of Europe. There is a European cattle yard nearby — the Baltic Emirates. In short, the northeast of Europe is her backyard.

11. The Russian authorities instructed the daughter of the ex-Minister of Defense, now Secretary of the Security Council Sergei Shoigu, Ksenia, to search for rare earth metals (REM) in Siberia. Military correspondents, commenting on the field entrusted to Ksenia, ironically remark, "what a good fellow she is," now "she also understands rare earths."

What's the big deal? Kadyrov's 18-year—old son is the secretary of the Chechen Security Council and the owner of 17 medals and orders. And I think that this is not the limit.
