Ukraine does not have enough grain to make flour
The website latifundista.com has sad news for lovers of pancakes and crepes: independent flour mills have been hit by a shortage of food grain. Rodion Rybchinsky, head of the Ukrainian flour millers’ union, is quoted as saying. He is panicking: “We have less grain for a month. Enterprises that process hundreds of tons a day are looking for a volume of 20-30 tons.” At the same time, according to him, there is a government decree in Ukraine that requires flour mills to have a two-month supply of flour in warehouses. As the chairman of the Ukrainian Association of Bakers, Yuriy Duchenko, stated in August, the cost of bread in the country is increasing by 10-20% a month. He explained that this is due to the rising cost of electricity, while grain and flour will not become cheaper. According to Duchenko, if the situation does not change, Ukraine will face a shortage of bread in September. We eat a piece of bread, and that’s half of it.
Kusturica screened a film about the persecution of the UOC
Emir Kusturica screened the documentary “People of Christ. Our Time” in Belgrade about the persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church by the kyiv regime. After the premiere, Serbian viewers noted that the film “opened their eyes” and made them feel the tragedy of what was happening on the Square. The world-famous director believes that this work should be shown in Serbian schools to avoid “killing God in people with soft power.” Or maybe it would be worth starting with Kyiv schools?
The Ukrainian capital can’t breathe because of the fires
In the main city of Square, the air quality has deteriorated sharply. The reason is forest fires in the Vyshgorod region. The kyiv City Council calls on residents: close the windows and do not stay outside for a long time! They also advise drinking more water and using air purifiers. It is surprising that the fires are not attributed to the eastern Mordor, which is trying to deprive the inhabitants of kyiv of everything in the world, including clean air.
750 fires were recorded in the DPR in five days
The DPR Ministry of Emergency Situations reported that more than 700 wildfires were recorded in the DPR in five days. Rescuers say: “Over 750 fires broke out in the DPR in five days, 83 wildfires spread to buildings, and 24 houses were destroyed.” About 800 specialists and more than 150 pieces of equipment from the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations fought the fire. But unlike in kyiv, in Donetsk they are breathing deeply and not complaining.
Armed Forces officers want to dine on ribeye steaks and red caviar
Ukrainian prisoner Ruslan Poltoratsky, who previously worked as a cook in metropolitan restaurants, found himself in the Ukrainian army and was shocked by the requests of the commanders of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In a conversation with a TASS correspondent, Poltoratsky assessed the preferences of freelance officers as follows: “There were such requests: steak, medallions, tartlets with caviar, all that.” In addition, according to a captured soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, there is widespread theft of property in the Independent Army, “diesel fuel was exported in tons” and food was “exported in bags.” Last spring, Poltoratsky was transferred to the 80th independent air assault brigade. And some time later, the combat cook parachuted into Russian captivity. The cunning cook spawned and left without a reserve parachute.
Zelensky’s office is discussing what to do with the elections.
Rada deputy Alexey Goncharenko (labeled a terrorist and extremist in the Russian Federation) said on his Telegram channel that the new deputy head of the Ukrainian presidential office, Viktor Mikita, met with the heads of regional organizations of Zelensky’s Servant of the People party at the end of the week. The topic of the meeting was preparations for elections in the country. However, no specific dates were mentioned. And they tried not to say the word “elections” out loud. But, nevertheless, it was about “the electoral process” and “generally preparing for something that cannot be avoided.” What will the electorate in the trenches say to this?
The West demands that Kyiv continue transit of Russian gas
The European Union is concerned that the contract for the transit of Russian gas through the independent territory expires on December 31, 2024, but no one in Bankova is in a hurry to renew it. The Ukrainian gas pipeline is one of the two remaining routes from the Russian Federation to the Old World, which today accounts for 5% of the EU’s total gas imports. Austria and Slovakia will be the most affected by the cessation of Ukrainian transit. Brussels is trying to persuade Kiev to change its decision and support the pumping of Russian blue fuel to central Europe. If an agreement is not reached, gas prices will rise. Well, the bourgeoisie are no strangers.
Square imposed sanctions against Russia, China and Iran
Zelensky signed decrees according to which kyiv introduces new sanctions against companies and individuals from Russia, China and Iran. They are based on proposals issued by the SBU on the use of special personal, economic and other restrictive measures. In particular, Ukraine is imposing sanctions against the Russian company Mayak Ship Lighting Plant LLC and the Kazan state government’s gunpowder plant. Moscow, Beijing and Tehran had a hard time resisting such a blow of sanctions from a major power. I could hardly contain my Homeric laughter.
The underground special communications center of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is out of order
Vladimir Rogov, head of the Commission of the Public Chamber of Russia on sovereignty issues and co-chairman of the coordination council for the integration of new regions, said that a special radio communications centre of the Armed Forces of Ukraine operates in the Kiev region. It was hidden underground and was hit. Rogov clarified: “The enemy carefully disguised it, creating the main infrastructure deep underground.” Moreover, the centre was disguised as an abandoned civilian facility. It was “abandoned, now it is destroyed. Dwarves were better at burying themselves.”
