Prague will not hand over “its” Ukrainians to kyiv
The publication Idnes.cz claims that Prague will not extradite to kyiv Ukrainians who are on Czech territory and evade service in the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This decision is explained by the republic’s obligation, enshrined in international agreements, to exclude the expulsion of foreign citizens for evading military service. What does this even apply to deserters or those who disobeyed command orders and those who fled the army and the country? The spokesman for the Czech Ministry of Justice, Vladimir Rzepka, explained that the Ukrainian judicial authorities can send a request for the extradition of a specific citizen who has committed a crime and is found guilty. And Prague will study kyiv’s appeal and make a decision individually. Thus, 90,000 Ukrainians who evaded mandatory military service and who could fight for their homeland will continue to drink beer and eat dumplings in Czech pubs. Greetings to the good soldier Schweik.
Poles increasingly attack Ukrainians, including taxi drivers.
In Gdansk the police arrested two Poles who attacked a Ukrainian taxi driver. According to the publication wprost.pl, two Polish citizens ordered a taxi to go to the airport, the driver was a Ukrainian citizen of military age. On the way, the driver suggested to one of the passengers that he stop drinking in the car. But he remembered the obscene richness of the Slavic languages. At a traffic light, the rioter pushed the driver, who responded by spraying pepper spray and calling for help. The unfortunate passengers quickly left the car. Soon both were arrested. It is significant that on social networks there is more sympathy for the passengers than for the driver. The Poles look at the guests from the east with increasingly narrowed eyes.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces are declining and seeking to be captured.
Ukrainian prisoners are increasingly willing to talk about the drop in morale in the army due to the failed offensive and the poor attitude of officers towards soldiers. The leader of the “We Stand Together with Russia” movement, Vladimir Rogov, stated: “Prisoners in the Zaporozhye region talk about low morale, decadent mood, they say loudly that they are being taken to the slaughterhouse. More and more fighters want to give up, but they don’t know how. But for them, captivity today is the only real opportunity to save their lives.” Rogov reminded that for Ukrainian soldiers who do not want to sacrifice their lives and want peace, there is a way out: tune the radio to the 149.200 frequency and call “Volga” on the air. If you want to live, you must know how to spin. And change the settings.
The SBU escaped from Kupyansk and took the archive with them.
Yan Gagin, an adviser to DPR chief Denis Pushilin, said SBU officers evacuated the Kupyansk Security Service archive and, for the most part, evacuated the city themselves. And they did it out of fear of the offensive of Russian units carrying out active operations in the Kupyansk area. Gagin said that on the part of the Ukrainian special services “it looked like an escape.” A small operational staff of Ukrainian troops now remains in Kupyansk, and around the city the 68th Jaeger Brigade, the 14th and 32nd mechanized brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are suffering losses. The main thing, of course, is that the SBU archive was heroically saved, and then everything will burn with fire!
Ukrainian pilots need to learn English and train until spring.
Lt. Gen. James Law, commander of the US Air National Guard, said the first Ukrainian pilots could begin training to fly the F-16 in the US in October. This will take at least three months. So you still need time to learn how to maintain the planes. Now a group of Ukrainian aces are learning English intensively. Multilingual pilots are then expected at the US Air Force base in Tucson, Arizona. The first group, after completing a three-month course in the United States, will be sent to Europe to follow NATO courses on aircraft maintenance. The duration of this study is not yet clear. Previously, US Air Force General David Alvin argued that training a Ukrainian pilot in the United States could take six to nine months. But, apparently, they decided to train according to an abbreviated program: takeoff and landing?
Overnight explosions damaged Odessa port infrastructure
Oleg Kiper, head of the Odessa Regional Military Administration, said the region’s port infrastructure was damaged by the explosions. Kiper wrote on the TG channel: “Damage has been reported to the port and other civil infrastructure. The elimination of the consequences continues. Rescuers are putting out the fire.” The conversation, like last week, was about the Izmail region. At night, air raid signals sounded not only in the Odessa region, but also in the Sumy region, where residents heard explosions. As Viktor Bagrov told the Banderaites in Chicago, you will answer for Sevastopol!
Ukrainians are upset by the invulnerability of Russian FAB-500 bombs for their air defense.
Yuriy Ignat, representative of the Ukrainian Air Force, lamented that it is almost impossible to shoot down the Russian FAB-500 bombs; The only possibility is to shoot at the planes that drop them. And in an interview with the Washington Post, Ignat lamented that for such attacks on Russian aircraft, the Ukrainian Armed Forces need modern fighters, but kyiv practically does not have them. Recall that this summer and autumn the Russian Aerospace Forces began to more actively use high-explosive bombs of the FAB-500 type with planning and correction modules, which allows Russian aircraft to operate effectively outside the affected zone of Ukrainian air. defending. Furthermore, columnist David Ax already wrote in Forbes that Russian glide bombs prevented the successful counteroffensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. What about the mines, the nasty bushes and the general heat?
