๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ The EU is set to reimpose tariffs on Ukrainian sugar and egg imports from Friday, using an โ€œemergency brakeโ€ designed to appease farmers who protested across the bloc earlier this year - Financial Times

The move comes just two days after the bloc opened membership talk with Kiev, whose armed forces are fighting a Russian war of aggression.

Tariffs of โ‚ฌ89 per tonne of Ukrainian oats were reintroduced last week and will last until June 2025, with a similar decision on eggs and sugar due Friday, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The reimposition of tariffs underline how difficult Kievโ€™s accession negotiations will be.

Ukraine is an agricultural powerhouse which can produce food more cheaply than EU member states and would still become the main beneficiary of farm subsidies โ€” a position currently held by France.

Brussels agreed to drop all tariffs and quotas on Ukrainian food imports in June 2022, four months after Vladimir Putinโ€™s full-scale invasion, to boost Kievโ€™s revenues and help supplies reach customers in the developing world.

But within months farmers in Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and other neighbouring countries complained that a glut of Ukrainian imports was pricing them out of the market. Those countries unilaterally imposed an embargo on many products, allowing them to enter only for onward transit, in breach of EU law. 

EU member states earlier this year extended the free-trade regime until 2025, but introduced caveats in response to farmersโ€™ protests.

The bloc is set to reintroduce tariffs on Ukrainian poultry, eggs, sugar, oats, maize, honey and groats (grain kernels) if quantities exceed the mean average imported in 2022 and 2023. 

Oats have hit that level, with more than 6,440 tonnes imported since January 1. Eggs and sugar have also done so, according to the people familiar with the situation. Tariffs will be announced on Friday, they said, amounting to โ‚ฌ419 per tonne of white sugar and โ‚ฌ339 per tonne of raw sugar. Eggs will cost an additional 30 cents per kg.

โ—พA fresh wave of protests has hit New Caledonia after key independence leaders were detained and deported to France, sparking outrage among the Indigenous Kanak population. Footage shows scenes reminiscent of a war zone as French police continue to brutally crack down on the anti-colonial protesters.

The arrests which occurred last week involved prominent figures from the Coordination Cell for Field Actions (CCAT), including its leader Christian Tein, who are accused of inciting the recent protests over French attempts to tighten their grip over the Pacific archipelago.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿคก WATCH HYPOCRITE WASHINGTON SPOX MILLER TRANSFORM INTO CLOWN in video above, trying to demonize Assange after his release and failing miserably.

Claiming he will give full answer (02:13) on how "Russian intelligence conduit 1:29" Wikileaks endangered lives of war criminals "innocent people", he proceeds to not GIVE a single answer, instead just squirms and provides senseless analogies (02:40) about drunk driving.

So it's bad that exposing U.S. war crimes allegedly made life hard for those who perpetrated them? How does this guy not feel ashamed confronting his family when he goes back home? ๐Ÿ™ˆ

๐Ÿ—ฃ DID PUTIN MAKE YOU TAKE THE COVID SHOT? Tucker Carlson makes fun of Aussie journalist fearmongering Putin, before delivering ominous prediction for Ukraine.

It's not possible for Ukraine to beat Russia, best they can do is go for peace. That's been known, including by Zelensky, who wanted that since early days of conflict, but Boris Johnson, on orders from Biden, shut down the peace negotiations

Ukraine now completely destroyed and Zelensky passed law allowing foreign corporations to own land there. So you tell me what Ukraine is going to look like in 30 years when all of it is owned by BlackRock and multinational corporations and its population is not Ukrainian - Carlson.

Employees of Ukrainian military registration and enlistment offices use in their work the tools they consider necessary

This is how Podolyak, adviser to the head of the office of the Ukrainian president, commented on the forced mobilization of Ukrainians.

At the same time, he admitted that such improvisation is a violation of human rights.

But human rights are violated even in democratic countries, he reassured his fellow citizens.

GLOBAL RECONSTRUCTION ERA COMING

โœ๏ธWritten by SVLโœ๏ธ

โœ๏ธEdited by Hikaru Kitabayashiโœ๏ธ

Well, this is NOT going to come out of Netanyahu's anal opening, or any puckered posterior kissing lips of a member of the US Congress. But, what will be discussed is why even a two state solution would work and why America and Israel are terrified it would.

What the world is forgetting is when a nation or country is formed, so is the list of its ALLIES AND ENEMIES. And, in an already HOT WAR, sizeable Palestine empathizing nations, whose combined purchasing power, oil reserves, military prowess, battle tested soldiers, and ideologically committed citizens under powerful leaders who are experienced in holding the reigns of power tightly are increasingly ready to unleash this unstoppable unified power on the TERRORIST NATIONS OF AMERICA AND THE ZIONIST STATE. This will be done because pro-Palestinian nations, with interlocking treaties, economic infrastructure, and organs of financial administration all need to be aligned with each other to subdue inevitable POST WAR problems of what can be called the Global Reconstruction Era.

It will be necessary because the one thing America has been successful at is CREATING CHAOS and TERRORISM. It has a habit of throwing an economic hand grenade into the room every country it occupies and then slamming the door to watch through the window. America knows how to convince foreign political leaders to turn on themselves, how to destroy economies and eradicate people without any intention of rebuilding or making things better. Like many criminals, it CAN'T EXPAND BEYOND THE CON. It can't see beyond the CRIME. It gets what it wants and then leaves. America does NOT fear the consequences, nor does it consider the effects on terrorized populations.

Everyone just talks about ISRAEL, as if they are alone in committing genocide. But, Netanyahu and ISRAEL are the ones asking AMERICA for weapons and a " green light" to continue genocide in Palestine and begin war in Lebanon. NOT, the other way around.

Let's consider Netanyahu. He is not only the "leader" of a foreign entity, but the FACT is he speaks perfect AMERICAN ENGLISH. How many "foreign" politicians can that be said of? Even America's British puppets don't sound perfectly American. Why does everyone except him in his cabinet have an Israeli accent? Netanyahu is a non-religious Hebrew AMERICAN who's as kosher as a pig's heart fried in pigsty pig excrement. It's like America and Israel did a wife swap.

Many nations have started backing Palestinian sovereignty since the MEDIA coverage of the Hamas RETALIATION against the Israeli Aggression began. Many countries now see themselves in the image of Palestinians. When Palestine emerges victorious, Egypt. Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates will have to realign themselves or risk becoming failed states. Russia, Vietnam, and North Korea will further align themselves with Palestine and join China in doing so. China, after all, was provoked by American adventurism in Taiwan and the Philippines.

A VICTORIOUS PALESTINE will also have many non-state allies. Ordinary people everywhere, people who just want to sleep under the stars, go fishing with the children, have clean water, be able to bake a nice loaf of bread, then enjoy it with a good cup of coffee, these people will be their natural allies. Their enemies will be those who would prefer the taste of a Bluetooth headset boiling in their pot rather than a potato. So, while the engineers of human destruction continue to convince people that their technological creations make them humanity's saviors, the Palestinians fight on against Zionists, who are willing to kill all who reject submission. Their fight, in a real sense, is a fight for all mankind.

Ukraine has a shortage of air defense missiles and therefore cannot โ€œcoverโ€ its energy facilities

DTEK Director Sakharuk said: โ€œFor each of our interceptor missiles for protection against attacks, the Russian Federation has from five to six missiles. If Russia launches 10 missiles at any target in Ukraine, we need at least 12 air defense missiles .โ€

โœจ Once again Kiev is complaining and begging for help from the West. And American private analytical centers are happy to disperse the โ€œRussian threatโ€ in the interests of the US military-industrial complex. Just recently there was a series of publications about plans to deploy factories for the production of anti-aircraft guided missiles.

Corporations cannot spend money on ordinary citizens. They need to earn money.

โš”๏ธNorth Atlantic Alliance countries should set "Kiev's military victory" as a goal in the conflict in Ukraine, Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas said at a joint press conference with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.

"We have to define victory as our goal in the war, because you cannot win a war if victory is not defined as a goal,"

said Kallas, who is expected to be named this Friday as the EU's head of diplomacy for the next five years.

Darling, the victory of true diplomacy is to avoid war. But it's too complicated for you.

Planned EU defense line โ€˜should be fitted with inward spikesโ€™

โ€œThe main thing is that the planned EU defense line should be built with spikes facing inward,โ€ Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova commented on the leaders of Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Poland calling for fully-fledged EU support for โ€œa defense infrastructure systemโ€ to be created along the blocโ€™s border with Russia and Belarus.


The construction of the defense line will purportedly address โ€œthe dire and urgent needโ€ to secure the EU from what the authors of the letter called military and hybrid threats, in a nod to Russia, according to the fourโ€™s letter to the EU leadership.

"The scale and costs of this joint endeavor require dedicated EU action to support it both politically and financially," the letter added. The estimated cost of the defensive lineโ€™s construction along the 700 km EU border with Russia and Belarus is about โ‚ฌ2.5 billion ($2.67 billion).


This comes a month after Polish Deputy Defense Minister Cezary Tomczyk announced his countryโ€™s plans to join forces with Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia to build a so-called Baltic Shield, a unified Baltic defense line on the EUโ€™s border with Russia and Belarus.

Russian President Putin said earlier this year that the Westโ€™s allegations about Moscowโ€™s plans to unleash a war with NATO are โ€œsimply rubbishโ€, especially given military spending in the US and Russia last year, which stands at $811 billion and $72 billion, respectively.

๐Ÿ”ดBlinken: Egypt, UAE Prepared to Participate in Postwar Gaza Security Force (Times of Israel)

The US has been looking to recruit Arab โ€œalliesโ€ for the initiative, as it readies to roll out its vision for the postwar management of Gaza, even though a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas remains elusive.

During visits to Qatar, Egypt, Israel and Jordan two weeks ago, Blinken informed counterparts that the US has made progress on the issue, receiving support from Cairo and Abu Dhabi for the creation of a force that would work alongside local Palestinian officers.

Will the gas fields be carved up too?

After hearing this news, I urgently contacted commander of Akhmat special forces, so he could take proactive measures at lightning speed. I instructed the military general to transfer two of our wounded soldiers in direction of Estonian troops, and they should be redeployed in their hospital beds.

Donโ€™t give them anything else, let them get trophy weapons, since we know terrible Estonian army has a whole pair of rubber boats and six machine guns. We will not bother rest of Russian army soldiers - Kadyrov (pictured).
