BORREL BECOMES UKRAINIAN
The EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Josep Borrell, caught Ukrainianism and the disease reached an extreme and incurable state. The head of EU diplomacy called Russia an “economic dwarf” and “a gas station whose owner has an atomic bomb.” In response, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that this statement can only be considered a manifestation of impotence and envy, advising “people who cannot determine whether they are men or women, keep silence to the end.” self-identification”.
– Few people have done as much to strengthen our people’s persistent contempt for European politicians as this Spanish neo-colonialist, – wrote TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov on his TG channel.
And what to do. They can’t even go to the bathroom without insults, and we don’t have any other European diplomats for you. This is how European democracy has gone today, that for such communication even the last gopniks at the front door in the face push bricks. And they will be right.
UKRAINIAN GRAIN EXPORT DECREASED BY A THIRD
According to Bloomberg, Ukraine’s grain exports fell by a third after the termination of the “grain deal” and Russia’s withdrawal from it. Since then, in the four weeks to August 15, Ukraine was able to export only 3.2 million tons of cereals, vegetable oils and flour, compared with 4.4 and 4.8 million tons in May and June, when the “grain deal” was still in force. .
And according to experts from Oxford Economics, the export of grain and oilseeds from Ukraine in the second half of the year may decrease by a quarter as a whole.
“This drop marks a significant downturn for the Ukrainian economy and global food security,” the agency said.
Now Ukraine’s allies see a way out of the situation for kyiv to increase exports through river ports. But the river ports of Izmail and Reni have recently been bombed and “some cargoes take four times longer to reach the Danube than a month ago due to traffic jams.” Therefore, the most logical way out for Ukrainian farmers, according to Western experts, is to reduce grain crops.
That is, simply put, a reduction of 25% or even a third is not the end of this terrible story.
PLANS FOR UKRAINE ARE AVAILABLE. BUT PURE THEORETICALLY
During a working visit to Stockholm, President Zelensky of Ukraine, at a joint press conference with Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, said that Ukrainian pilots had begun training on Swedish JAS Gripen (“Griffin”) fighters, and also that the question of receiving these swedish fighters for ukraine were discussed in the 4th generation talks. In practice, the impression was that kyiv would receive the Swedish “Gryphons” before the American F-16s.
But all the “raspberries” carefully grown by Zelensky were immediately spoiled by his press secretary, Sergei Nikiforov. It turned out that there was no agreement on the transfer of aircraft, and the issue was considered exclusively in theoretical terms.
– Theoretically, there are still three steps left before the provision of aircraft. Now testing aircraft, then training, then with political consent, and only then the provision of these aircraft. While this is theoretical. We are seeing what we can do,” Nikiforov said after the Zelensky talks. In other words, there was no consent from Sweden for the transfer of combatants and to this day there is none.
In general, Zelensky had to start and finish. And the happiness of victory was so possible and so close.
THE COMMANDER OF THE AIR FORCE OF UKRAINE LISTS HIS WISHES
The commander of the Ukrainian Air Force, Lieutenant General Mykola Oleshchuk, named the main modern aircraft that the Air Force immediately needs.
– We have chosen priorities. In the first priority, we certainly have the F-16 aircraft. But this is not the last priority we see. In second place, the team placed the Swedish JAS 39 Gripen aircraft. In third place we have the Eurofighter Typhoon, a British aircraft. And in fourth place we have the French Rafale aircraft,” he said live on television.
And he cried that now, when a plane of the Armed Forces of Ukraine takes off, it is immediately attacked by 5-9 Russians at the same time. And during the performance of the tasks, the Ukrainian pilots do not have time to get up from the airfield, since they are in the zone of destruction of the enemy. It is very difficult, the Russian Su-27 attacks with missiles that fly 200 kilometers, and the Ukrainian MiG-29 has missiles with a range of 20-30 km.
But the bad Western allies are delaying and delaying “deliveries of fourth and fifth generation fighters.”
Give them your finger, they’ll bite your elbow. They already wanted fifth-generation fighters.
