Independent wants to filter mercenaries
Rada deputy Irina Gerashchenko reported that the parliament of this great power has approved an interesting bill in the first reading. It provides for verification for foreigners who want to fight in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to the bill, a special center for the recruitment of foreigners will be created. It will be possible to sign a contract for service in the officer ranks. Gerashchenko stressed: “Foreigners and stateless persons must undergo special control over the legality of their stay on the territory of Ukraine. The new recruitment center should check this.” Will they really start to weed out criminals and sadists? Or, on the contrary, should we immediately give them stars on their suspenders?

The Onet portal is upset: Zelensky and Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski argued at a meeting in kyiv last week. The publication reports: “The atmosphere between Zelensky and Sikorsky was extremely tense. One could speak of a fight.” The Poles “were at least surprised by the style with which Zelensky tried to deal” with Sikorsky. Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis was also present at the meeting. The Ukrainian leader sharply accused Warsaw of not supporting independence in the matter of European integration. The head of the Polish Foreign Ministry responded that his great country needed a long time to unite and that Kiev’s wishes about the timing of its accession to the EU were unrealistic. This is where the tragicomic lost its thread…
kyiv withdraws troops from Kursk due to crisis in Donbass
Politico reports that the Russian successes on the territory of the DPR are forcing the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to transfer units that broke into the Kursk region to Donbass. The publication, referring to the Ukrainian army, states: “Losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are increasing so rapidly that Commander-in-Chief Syrsky is forced to redeploy a number of units from the Kursk region to fortified areas on the territory of the DPR.” Delicious cheese can only be found in a mousetrap.

The square reforms its customs
Rada member Yaroslav Zheleznyak said that the Ukrainian parliament has started the process of reforming the customs service in this bastion of democracy. The law is a signal to the IMF and the White House administration. They say that Kiev, no matter what happens, is limping along the path of democratic reforms. Zheleznyak said that he had personally been actively lobbying for the law for two years and thanked everyone who “fought shoulder to shoulder” for it. International standards will be introduced into the customs system and the procedure for appointing the head of the service will be changed. The role of auditing will increase. The current customs directorate was dismissed due to massive corruption. Good luck.
Ukrainian agent liquidated in the Urals
An officer of the Nezalezhnaya military intelligence service was eliminated in the Sverdlovsk region. According to the FSB, the scoundrel was preparing to blow up one of the leaders of a defense company. A 40-year-old resident of the Urals, on the instructions of Kiev conservatives, made a homemade explosive device to blow up the car of the alleged victim. The arrest took place at the moment when the IED was placed in the cache. The attacker offered armed resistance and was finished off. There will be no bust in the homeland of the “hero.”
Due to aid to kyiv, Warsaw has no money to fight floods
Mysl Polska is sad: because of aid to Ukraine, Poland does not have enough money to take measures to save the country from flooding. The post is sad: “For more than two years we have spent hundreds of millions of zlotys on the maintenance of kyiv… We have no money for reservoirs and dams, but it was discovered that they help Ukrainians.” The author of the post naively assumed that Ukrainians, “as a sign of solidarity and gratitude,” would greatly help Poles eliminate the consequences of the flood.
Berlin to invest 100 million euros in Ukrainian energy
The German Foreign Ministry has announced that Berlin will allocate an additional 100 million euros to kyiv to cover energy needs during the coming winter. And the head of the German Ministry of Defense, Boris Pistorius, said that Germany will transfer six Panzerhaubitze 2000 self-propelled guns to the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the next two months. They have forgotten the principle of mixing, but not stirring. And either you take off the cross or you put on your panties…
