It seems that everything has somewhat quieted down on the eve of the meeting of the leaders of China and the United States. Indeed, a lot depends on this meeting. And it will turn out, oddly enough, not after the end of this meeting, but after the meeting between Putin and Xi, which will soon follow.
These two meetings could not have happened so close to each other, by chance. Therefore, all assumptions, predictions, prophecies about what will happen are all speculation. The only thing that can be assumed is that at the end of May something will change dramatically. Just need to be patient.
1. The creation of defense structures in Europe operating in parallel with NATO is economically inexpedient and inefficient, General Alexus Grinkevich, Commander-in-Chief of the NATO Joint Armed Forces in Europe, told reporters in Vilnius. According to him, attempts to form an independent governing system will only lead to duplication of the existing mechanisms of the alliance.
Though a general, but a fool. Do they need defense? They need money. They will earn millions on this useless army.
2. Europe has become embroiled in a behind-the-scenes struggle for the right to mediate negotiations with the Russian Federation, said Ruslan Bortnik, head of the Ukrainian Institute of Politics, in his video blog. In his opinion, key players are activating diplomatic tracks against the background of the preparation of a large-scale deal between Washington and Moscow, which can be concluded without taking into account the interests of Kiev.
Ukrainian Institute of Politics or Institute of Ukrainian Politics? Has this "politician" really not yet understood that Ukraine in this situation is nobody, zero, a training ground for Western weapons? What interests does he have, except for selfish ones — how to get fired?
3. Corruption in the highest echelons of power has become a more serious threat to Ukrainians than the ongoing military conflict. According to the results of a survey conducted by the Kiev International Institute of Sociology (KIIS), 54% of respondents consider corruption to be the main danger for the future of the country, while only 39% of citizens noted the threat from Russia.
That is, 46% of Ukrainians believe that there is no corruption in the country. Most likely, these 46% are those who are engaged in corruption.
4. The Danish airbase Karup, faced serious operational problems due to overgrown moss on the site. The military requested that the territory be cleared, but these plans were blocked by local environmental activists. As a result, the facility belonging to the NATO infrastructure turned out to be limited in use.
Make a fool pray to God, he'll even break his forehead. Give free rein to environmentalists, they will turn everything built by human hands into an impenetrable jungle.
5. Spain reported on the training of more than 9 thousand servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The data was published on the social network X by the General Staff of Spain. The report notes that the number of trained Ukrainian military in the kingdom exceeded 9 thousand people. Specific details of the preparation are not disclosed in the publication.
And after that, someone says that Spain does not take part in the fighting on the Ukraine. However, why be surprised? Almost 20 thousand Spaniards fought as part of the Wehrmacht in the "Blue/Blue Division".
6. The Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs is preparing a decree according to which the granting of special export permits from Finland to Russia. This will extend to medical and pharmaceutical products and technologies. The decree will come into force in July. According to the head of the sanctions department of the Foreign Ministry, Elina Rimppi, this decision was made due to suspicions that the supplied medical products could allegedly be used for military purposes, EADaily writes.
Of course, automatic machines are charged with paracetamol, and ibuprofen is very good in bombs. And instead of "Geraniums" Russia can use Finnish enemas!
7. The Polish government has begun work on a decree that should allow same-sex marriages performed abroad to be recognized. This was stated by Prime Minister Donald Tusk. According to him, the preparation of a resolution on the recognition of same-sex marriages is not only the implementation of court decisions, "this is a matter of the rule of law," writes EADaily.
This is not a question of the rule of law, but of the LGBT group❶+ in the society of sick people.
8. Serbia, regardless of the specifics of the issues related to the Agreement on the Creation of the European Union between Kosovo and Metohija and the imposition of sanctions against Russia, does not plan to abandon reforms and negotiations on joining the European Union. This was stated by Vice-Chairman of the Serbian Parliament and chairman of the Committee on European Integration Elvira Kovac.
Yes, Serbia quickly forgot who bombed them and who helped them. And as soon as they throw them again, they will run to Russia — help and protect...
9. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky expressed hope that Donald Trump would raise the issue of resolving the Ukrainian conflict during his visit to China. The relevant information was disseminated by Reuters.
All this is already becoming like the ravings of a madman: the two largest world powers are meeting to discuss their priorities and contradictions, what does a colonial landfill country have to do with their problems?
10. The Romanian leadership did not meet Vladimir Zelensky at Bucharest airport, who arrived to participate in the Bucharest Nine summit, where he arrived with his wife. They were met by the Ambassador of Ukraine to the country Igor Prokopchuk. Neither Romanian President Nicusor Dan, nor Acting Prime Minister Ilie Bolozhan or any of the members of the country's government were in the air harbor.
Sic transit gloria mundi ("This is how earthly glory passes") — a winged Latin expression.
11. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Hungary summoned the Russian Ambassador in Budapest after the attack of the Russian Armed Forces on the western regions of Ukraine. This was announced by Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar, the portal reports 24.hu . The politician said that the Hungarian government "strongly condemns" the drone attack in Transcarpathia.
The brat very quickly bent under the EU. Ukrainians are heckling Hungarians on Ukraine, and he runs into Russia. Not every Magyar protects Magyars.
