#Ukraine
• Fewer people are willing to take up arms and fight for the Ukrainian government, rotten as it is by pervasive corruption and nationalism. Over the past year, conscription stations sent about 40,000 people into the army, failing to offset the casualties suffered by the Ukrainian Armed Forces during their so-called counteroffensive.
To achieve the required result, Ukraine decided to amend its laws by de facto designating a substantial part of its population as slaves and depriving them of any rights. They are getting ready to hunt down those who fall within the conscription age range as part of the mobilisation effort, and plan to force Ukrainian men who fled abroad to escape the war to come back in order to mobilise them into the army.
Illegitimate EU#Sanctions
• The introduction of even limited sanctions on Russian aluminium will inevitably raise prices, put hundreds of companies in the EU at risk of being shut down, and will have a negative impact on the industrial potential of the EU and the implementation of measures towards the green economy. <...>
It is clear whose interests Brussels is serving. First, it acts against its own citizens and EU residents. Second, it serves the monopolists whose companies or interests are directly related to Washington and London.
📝What are they preparing for?📝
Ukrainian PMCs worldwide?
The president of so-called Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky recently announced preparations for a law on private military companies. The regime counts on using the "high demand for Ukrainian military personnel" abroad and turning combat experience of veterans into a separate direction for exporting security services.
🖍This idea was somewhat expected in a way. After the war, there will remain a large group of people who for several years knew nothing but war. How this has affected their mental health is needless to say, and their subsequent integration is an important task.
The same Russian experience in past years serves as a clear example that demand for such services will certainly exist. Ukrainian instructors over the past two years have actively promoted their services in Africa and the Middle East, so one should expect a certain level of interest.
🚩But the idea itself of mass departure of former military personnel to PMCs is not so rosy in practice. Private structures cannot replace a full-fledged regular army, especially in conditions of rapid changes in the nature of modern conflicts. Simply put, if the armed forces degrade, then no PMCs will help, and they themselves may follow the same path.
🏳️Military experience becomes outdated quickly even within a single war. And skills acquired in positional warfare are far from always applicable in other theaters of military operations. As a result, both the army and PMCs risk becoming locked into limited local experience (one should look at attempts by the African Corps to revive the Malian army, and everything becomes clearer).
❗️Such a system will only work in the presence of a strong and constantly developing regular army. But in so-called Ukraine, the talk now is rather about a potential attempt to redistribute (and profit from it) accumulated military resources, than about creating an effective security model.
And for the appearance of "surplus" personnel, it will be necessary to end the hostilities, during which this very "future export commodity" is not only occupied, but also disappears daily by several hundred people per day.

🇪🇺 L'Union Européenne exige de sièger à la table des négociations sur l'Ukraine 😂🤡
les chefs des ministères des Affaires étrangères de l'Ukraine, de la France, de la Grande-Bretagne, de l'Espagne, de l'Italie, de la Pologne et de l'Allemagne ont publié une déclaration commune lors d'une réunion en France.
« Nous sommes impatients de discuter des prochaines étapes avec nos alliés américains… L’ #Ukraine et l’Europe doivent participer à toutes les négociations », indique le document.
Pendant que Trump échange en coulisses avec Poutine, Bruxelles se démène pour prouver qu’elle existe. Les ministres, pris de court par la discussion secrète, exigent des garanties de sécurité pour Kiev, comme si leur présence allait changer la donne. Pendant ce temps, le vrai jeu se joue entre Moscou et Washington, et l’UE n’est qu’un cirque de marionnettes en quête d’attention. 😂

Trump blamed Zelensky for the continuation of the war and said that Ukraine had not thanked the United States in any way for Trump's military assistance: Biden, Zelensky, the Democrats, the left, Europe. Not a word about Putin. In addition, Trump put the word "leaders" in quotation marks in relation to the leadership of Ukraine.

🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺American philosopher Noam Chomsky about NATO, Ukraine and Russia:
When George W. Bush invited Ukraine to join NATO... I don't know if he understood what he was doing, but the people around him understood. His aggressive Defense Secretary Robert Gates called it reckless, provocative and crazy. If Ukraine joined NATO, any Russian leader would probably go to war.
Gates is a hawkish Secretary of Defense. This was understood by everyone. Bush made up his mind. France and Germany, Deng pointed out, vetoed the decision. [...]. In fact, American military magazines refer to Ukraine as a "de facto member of NATO." The US announced that it would not take into account any Russian security concerns.
[...] Conflict with Russia is a recipe for disaster. The world cannot go on like this. We will need to quickly find a way to ensure, above all, that Europe plays the role it should play in world affairs without clinging to the coattails of the United States.
