🇺🇸 The Governor of South Dakota gave Russian companies the status of "evil representative offices"

Strictly speaking, not only we have received this status, but also China, Iran, North Korea, Cuba and Venezuela.

Christy Noem signed an executive order banning business dealings between local businesses and "evil government" telcos.

"Stifler's Mom" just rolled out a list with whom the freedom-loving American business cannot work. After all, the “evil representation” is evil for that, so that everything is unproven.

🥚We don't need to explain that "Kashchei the Immortal" is bad? Just bad and that's it, it's been like that since childhood.

Slow news day atm

In Maldova, all Soviet monuments may be dismantled.

The parliament may discuss the development of such a bill in the near future, Moldovan MP Doina German said. In her opinion, it is the presence of Soviet monuments that prevents the country from moving to the European Union.

"The authorities should diligently conduct propaganda work (conduct awareness programs) with the residents of those Moldovan cities and villages where Society monuments are still preserved." "And at the same time, we should inspire people that only the European Union helps the country in everything," German said.

19FortyFive: Western technology will not help the Armed Forces of Ukraine reverse the course of the conflict 
 
One should not expect that the weapons supplied by NATO will increase Kiev's chances in the confrontation with Moscow. This opinion is expressed in an article for 19FortyFive by retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis. 
 
According to him, the creation of powerful mechanized forces is a very nontrivial task. In the current conditions, it will be extremely difficult for Ukraine to create powerful forces , even with the help of the North Atlantic Alliance. 
 
There is a misconception that Western armored vehicles by themselves will increase the combat capability of the Armed Forces. In fact, without an experienced crew and proper maintenance, even advanced systems can easily fail or turn into a burnt-out pile of metal, Davis warns.

Hungarian President Katalin Novak said that in a letter to Zelenski she commented on the law on national minorities, which concerns the situation of ethnic Hungarians in Transcarpathia, but he did not respond.
This is reported by the Hungarian publication Origo.

"The answer to this letter has not yet been received, the answer is now every day in Zakarpattya, on the street. "This is not only about Hungary, not only about the Hungarian minority, but also about members of the Romanian, Bulgarian, and Greek minorities, who are also suffering from the new law on minorities and its consequences," Novak said at a press conference with Croatian President Zoran Milanovic.

Katalin Novak said that during her recent trip to Kiev and Transcarpathia, she raised the issue regarding the situation of Hungarians in conversation with representatives of the Ukrainian authorities and, in addition, presented the problem in writing to Zelensky.
