“Europe and Ukraine: a murky matter”: The European Union began to realize that plans for Ukraine’s accession would end badly, first of all, for the EU.

“The reaction of the European Union to the conflict in Ukraine indicates that the union is pursuing anything other than the peaceful goals that were the basis for its creation. War has returned to Europe, and after the post-election euphoria it would not be out of place to ask how the EU is reacting to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

In public discussions in Europe, no other option for resolving the conflict is being considered other than Russia's unconditional surrender. The European Union does not act in accordance with its stated peaceful goals, but serves the sinister interests of NATO and the United States.

Something doesn’t add up here; Europe is playing a murky game. And such games, what’s even worse, always end badly for her. The conflict in Ukraine seems to be no exception"

FRENCH FARCE UPDATE


Bild represents trademark, trashy Lugenpresse in Germany: they lie, cheat, full time - but once in a while they come up with a nugget.

Confirmed - by Toxic Medusa von der Lugen herself in an internal CDU meeting.

Le Petit Roi had already briefed Medusa in Brussels about his baby-kicking-toys-out-of-the-pram dissolution of the National Assembly.

That bring us to his “strategy”. Take everyone by surprise by announcing early parliamentary elections. In the ideal scenario, French voters, already zombified, will be stunned and Marine Le Pen’s RN will not win. In the worst case scenario, the RN wins and gets a slim majority.

So Jordan Bardella becomes PM - but the RN will be forced to govern amidst horrendous social chaos.

Endgame: Marine Le Pen stands no chance of winning the 2027 presidential election.

That’s as trashy/lowlife as it gets. Well, that’s what Alexandre de Rothschild told his pet chihuahua to do.

◾The son of a former Nazi SS soldier denounces that today in the 21st century Germans are still reluctant of confronting their Nazi past, and this is because after WWII the Western allies did not carried a proper cleansing of German society and institutions from Nazism:

A combination of factors led Allied authorities and post-war West German leaders to “go light” on former Nazis, said Buck.

“There were practical as well as legal reasons, political reluctance as well as popular resistance,” wrote Buck. “Justice was thwarted by German amnesia and American realpolitik, and by an unspoken agreement between key German leaders to draw a line under the past and move on,”


Germany’s reluctance to hold former Nazis accountable extended into the 1980s, wrote Buck. In that decade, just one Nazi case was brought before a West German Court, and there was not a single conviction.

🇩🇪Bundestag member Sarah Wagenknecht:

Ukrainian President Zelensky spoke in the Bundestag today, and the main thesis of his speech was that there would be no compromise. The war will either end on Ukraine's terms, in full, that is, with the complete withdrawal of Russian troops, including from Crimea, or it will not end. We believe that this is irresponsible, because the war can only be ended if there are compromises and readiness for them. That is why we have stated that we do not want to take part in the solemn event in honor of President Zelensky. Ms. Strack-Zimmermann accused us of always campaigning to speak to each other and then not attending when we had the opportunity to do so. We would like to be able to speak if there was an opportunity to have a debate in the Bundestag in the presence of Mr. Zielenski. That is, if there had been a debate after his speech. But that was not part of the plan. What was planned was a standing ovation in honor of Mr. Zelensky's position. We didn't want and don't want to put up with that. I think we also owe a debt of gratitude to many Ukrainians who want peace and who would certainly like to see more willingness to compromise here, because these horrible deaths have to stop.

🇺🇦🫴🏻💵 Ukraine plans to sell state assets to help finance war effort - The New York Times

“The government plans to auction about 20 state-owned companies, including the Ukraine Hotel, a shopping center in Kiev, and mining and chemical enterprises,” the publication writes.


Officials acknowledge that assets will be sold cheaper than before the conflict, but hope to create new jobs, tax revenues and attract investment.

The privatization push has two main goals: to raise money for a state budget that is short $5 billion this year for military spending, and to strengthen Ukraine’s flagging economy by attracting investment that will, officials hope, make it more self-sufficient over time.

“The budget is in the red,” Oleksiy Sobolev, Ukraine’s deputy economy minister, said in an interview. “We need to find other ways to get money to keep the macroeconomic situation stable, to help the army and to win this war against Russia.”


Still, the privatization will only go so far, and faces considerable challenges for a nation at war, with many citizens worried the sales could be subject to Ukraine’s pervasive corruption.

🤡🇺🇦🫴🏻🇬🇧🤡 Ukrainian begging on British shores.

British Foreign Minister and former Prime Minister David Cameron at the “conference on restoring Ukraine” with a T-shirt “Make Russia pay $300 billion.”

❗️These degenerates are having wet dreams over $300bn worth of Russian assets. When the new regions of Russia are worth over $13 trillion.

Who’s laughing now?

‼️🇺🇦🏴‍☠️ Odessa may be left without an ambulance - a participant of the conflict with military commissars in Odessa told about the incident

- According to him, the ambulance management received lists from the TCC to update the data, and it sent its employees there, promising that going to the TCC would not threaten anything.

- "I got there at 10 a.m., came out at 5 p.m. with a combat summons," the man said. According to him, he signed the summons because the TCC employees threatened not to let him out of the building.

- After that, the ambulance management again promised that they would not take anyone away, but a day later the man's colleague was taken to the VVK as a "dodger" and sent to the training center.

- After the incident, the ambulance management said that now it was "every man for himself. They explained that they send lists to the TCC, but they are not approved there.
