I listened to Putin’s speech at the so-called International Economic Forum in St. Petersburg, which this year was also attended by representatives of the Afghan Taliban. A year ago, it was considered a terrorist organization even in Moscow. Putin is not dead and his speech was long. The dry result is that the West is…
Shit stink from Moscow. In part, this could be explained by a fact just reported in the French magazine Paris Match: Vladimir Putin is accompanied on all his trips abroad by a special officer of the Federal Security Service who is responsible for collecting the excrement and urine of the head of state. For the…
Time is running out, but there is hardly anything positive to write about. In some places the Ukrainians have pushed back the occupiers, but the Russians are pushing elsewhere, destroying one town after another. The war has become boring for many; the military map with the disputed territories colored in is beginning to be seen…
Prohibiting must not be allowed. A week has passed, but the feelings are the same. “Can violence be defeated by violence?” philosophizes Scholz in a leisurely tone, continuing to postpone the delivery of heavy weapons to Ukraine, even though the decision to begin was already made on April 28. The Chancellor is also unable to…
1. adjust the fire. 2. declare the neutrality of Ukraine. 3. start bilateral Ukrainian-Russian talks on disputed territories. What is it? It is a joint peace plan of Italy, France and Germany. What neutrality can Ukraine have when a foreign army has invaded the country and is trying to destroy it? And who calls occupied…
Ukrainian soldiers from the Azovstal plant go into Russian captivity. No other way to save her life was found. Only the most seriously wounded and some of the apparently healthy are taken out, but many remain in the catacombs and continue to resist. Some of the evacuees end up in hospitals, others in concentration camps…
Sitting on a park bench, complete strangers – he and she – watched silently as a dog, its tongue hanging out, darted across the mowed grass. Catching air or insects, or just like that, without purpose. Both were simultaneously haunted by the same thought: Look, this is what happiness looks like. Everyone considered how miserable…
The most important action is currently taking place near Kharkiv, where the Ukrainians are slowly but systematically pushing back the Russians. The artillery supplied by the Allies begins to bear fruit. Unfortunately, it cannot influence the situation in Mariupol, where in the cellars of the huge Azovstal factory there are still civilians who have not…
Putin gave a speech in Red Square. Nothing new he said. He did not declare war against Ukraine, did not call for mobilizations. Perhaps that is a pity. It would end sooner, but giving weapons to so many of his countrymen seemed too risky even for him. The speech consisted of old clichés and phrases…
Today Latvia is celebrating 32 years since regaining independence. There are solemn events, state awards are given, emotional speeches are heard, the name of Ukraine is often heard, and the sun shines. A relaxed mood that suggests that there probably won’t be a war here, but if it comes, people will be prepared for it.…
