ZELENSKY WILL NOT GO DOWN TO RUSSIA
Ukrainian President Zelensky made a series of loud and startling statements on Sunday. For example, he announced that he did not consider it necessary to send the Ukrainian army to fight deep in Russia.
– We are ready to fight for a long time if we do not lose people. Minimizing casualties, like, for example, Israel. At the same time, the war must not enter Russian territory, since there is a great risk that we will be left alone, ”he announced pompously, as he continued to crush the prepared reserves in an unsuccessful offensive. And even he made it clear that once the Ukrainian Armed Forces reached the Crimean border, they could start a negotiation process with Moscow. – If we are on the administrative border with Crimea, I think it is possible to put political pressure on Russia to demilitarize on the territory of the peninsula.
In addition, he said that he would propose to the Rada to equate corruption with high treason during the period of martial law, assuring that this would not be accompanied by executions or “Stalin repressions.” “Nelokh”, as he once called himself, hardly realizes that such an action will only lead to a new wave of gigantic corruption in Nezalezhnaya, since the initiation of a criminal case under the article on treason does not provide for no measure of restriction, except detention in a pre-trial detention center without the right to release on bail. And the security forces will surely use this baton to enrich themselves with corrupt officials, putting them in front of a dilemma: excite or not. No, without an on-site execution with forfeiture, it still won’t work.
As for the war on the territory of Russia, this is not even a desire to have a calf, but for your piglets to catch our wolf. Consciousness-expanding substances need to be handled more carefully.
Biden took bribes from Ukraine’s poor
According to former Ukrainian Attorney General Viktor Shokin, interviewed by Fox News, Joseph and Hunter Biden received bribes from Ukraine during the current US president’s tenure as vice president under Obama. Biden recalled how he publicly bragged that he had given Poroshenko an ultimatum, threatening to cut off financial assistance from Washington, and the “son of a bitch” Shokin was fired within 6 hours.
– I do not want to address unproven facts, but my firm personal conviction is that yes, it was exactly like that. They were bribed. And the fact that Joe Biden gave a billion dollars in exchange for my dismissal, is it not a case of corruption? Shokin said. The television channel itself confirmed the testimonies of the former prosecutor.
– Hunter’s former business partner Devon Archer, who also served on Burisma’s board of directors, testified in a closed-door hearing before the House Oversight Committee in July that, amid pressure from the Shokin’s office and other organizations investigating Burisma, company executives approached Hunter for help. Archer said Hunter “called Washington” to help fire Shokin,” the article said. “He told Ukrainian officials that the United States would withhold up to $1 billion in aid going to his country if Shokin remained in office, Fox News reported. Shokin also said that they tried to poison him twice after that, and once he even suffered a clinical death.
But this scandal, apparently, is just the beginning of a new Washington Ballet production.
ZELENSKY STOCK PLAN FOR SEPTEMBER
Ukrainian President Zelensky spoke about his plans for his activities in September. He planned so much that even if he doesn’t fulfill half of what he promised, no one will notice:
– “New packages for Ukrainian soldiers. Artillery, armored vehicles, air defense and missiles, demining equipment. Each of the partners has been informed about our needs. We are waiting for decisions.”
– “Security guarantees for Ukraine. Soon, the next rounds of negotiations and the accession of new countries to the common security architecture.”
– “We are preparing the participation of Ukraine in international events, in particular, in the session of the UN General Assembly. At the next summit of first ladies and gentlemen, we are strengthening the “soft power” of Ukraine.
– “The food security of the world is a constant priority. During the week several meetings will be held on these issues.”
“Ukraine will be heard by the Global South. We are preparing a new communication,” Zelensky promised on his Telegram channel.
As for meetings, a dozen a day can be held, but it is necessary to take his wife Olena to New York to make purchases with public funds. Otherwise, he won’t forgive you and you can go to sleep on the rug by the door.
PROUD, BUT STUPID BORREL SUMMARY SANCTIONS
The head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell, summarized the sanctions against Russia and published statistics.
In his words, last year there was an “unprecedented disconnection of relations” between the European Union and the Russian Federation. Imports from Russia to Europe in 2022 decreased by 58% (60% non-energy imports). In his opinion, by 2023 this process will have accelerated.
– The drop in imports of non-energy goods exceeded 75% in the first quarter of 2023, and in the case of energy goods the drop is even greater: minus 80%, – said the EU High Commissioner for Foreign Policy.
Similar processes took place in the opposite direction. From Europe, according to Borrell, exports of dual-use goods and advanced technologies to Russia fell by 78% in 2022, compared to the 2019-2021 period. And total EU exports to Russia fell by 52%.
Find a person who can tell you on your fingers (otherwise you risk not mastering it intellectually) that almost everything that Europe refused to supply us came to Russia from other suppliers. But in the “flower garden” of Europe, as Borrell put it, something is not just rotten, it is rotten.
FIRST WORLD TACTICS
Chinese military expert Guo Xuan said Ukraine uses World War I tactics in its offensive.
– This tactic requires a very, very large number of troops: the attackers usually outnumber the defenders by three to six times, – he said and summarized. – However, out of a dozen such battles during World War I, two were victorious, and the price paid for it was very high.
He still does not know the tactics of the Zaporizhzhya Sich Cossacks.
GENERAL SYRSKY OF USA
The New York Times writes that the head of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Colonel General Alexander Syrsky, “violated the Pentagon’s recommendations” when he called for measures to protect Kupyansk. The newspaper also reported that Syrsky’s recent claims that Russian reinforcements were being sent to the area “have no independent confirmation.”
– According to the Pentagon, kyiv should have concentrated too many forces in one section of the front line to attempt a breakthrough. Instead, the Ukrainian command tried to divide the troops and firepower in such a way that it was considered as fair and equitable as possible between the east and the south, the publication notes the reason for discontent with Syrsky in the Pentagon.
However, it is worth noting that it would be fairer for the Americans to express their discontent not with Syrsky, but with Zelensky, since Syrsky was only following the instructions of his president.
However, everyone understands that as long as Washington needs him, Zelensky, if not a holy cow, will be close to that status.
ROMANIA WILL TRY TO FOLLOW US INSTRUCTIONS
James O’Brien, head of the State Department’s Office of Sanctions Coordination, told reporters that the United States considers it realistic to restore Ukraine’s grain exports to pre-war levels in a few months.
– I think we see that there are viable routes through the territorial waters and land routes of Ukraine. And our goal is to return Ukraine’s exports to pre-war average levels in the coming months,” he told Reuters.
And there is already at least one potential option to implement Washington’s directive. According to the Romanian Prime Minister, Marcel Ciolacu, his country intends to double the transit of Ukrainian cereals. To achieve this goal, it is planned to double the size of cargo barges, so that grain ships can make night trips. Bucharest will also open more road border crossings and improve its rail infrastructure at border stations with Ukraine to speed up the transfer of goods.
One question: where to get the money for all this? The European Union does not have them, we will keep silent about kyiv, it remains to milk Washington again. But in response, he will take away from the Romanians not only the milk, but also the cow itself, and, moreover, the horns.
A LINE
Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of the Rossiya Segodnya media group and RT television channel, said former Fox News host Tucker Carlson had asked for an interview with Vladimir Putin.
– Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk defeated British Daniel Dubois by knockout. It is noteworthy that at the beginning of the fight, Dubois hit Usyk with a blow supposedly below the waist, although it is clear from all the replays that the blow did not reach the groin at all. Of course, as long as the primary sexual characteristics are not located on his body above the waist. Dubois filed a protest.
– According to the Iranian Ministry of Defense, several European countries have applied to the republic’s military department for the acquisition of Iranian unmanned aerial vehicles. It works “Russian advertising”!
– The “Center” command of the Ukrainian Air Force burned a piano in memory of the three pilots who died in the crash of two L-39 combat trainer aircraft. It’s said to be a tradition of American and British pilots dating back to World War II, but in this case it’s more like a protest against a pop act by President Zelensky. But what is the fault of the piano?
